Chapter 9 - Trying to overcome her fears and discomfort

[2 weeks later]

"Hisha breakfast is ready."

Demon woke her up and she saw her father and smiled.

She got up and rubbed her eyes.

"Good girl."

She washed her face, while Demon was brushing her hair. 

When they were eating. "Hisha today a few family members want to come and meet you."

'Do I have to?'

"If you don't want to, I can send them away."

'How many of those stranger are coming over?'

'Only 4, two adults and 2 children.'

The butler observed Hisha and could tell it annoyed her.

"Lady Hisha, did you remember what I told you about your charm?"

She nodded.

"Do you also remember what I taught you about communicating."

'You taught me that I should speak what's on my mind to Demon and Aster or else they don't know what I want.'

"Correct."

She then looked at her father.

'I don't want to meet any of them, they are stranger.'

'Half of those stranger are evil.'

'I only need Demon, Aster, and the people of this mansion.'

'Other are not important to Hisha, not now, not ever.'

'And they will ruin my plans for today anyway.'

 

 

"What are your plans?"

'Playing with the soldiers, playing with Ash and practice carriage riding.'

"Alright, I'll tell them what you just have told me."

"But will you be alright alone in a carriage?"

'I will, we are first going to practice with an open carriage and work from there.'

"Alright, but remember what Aster told you, everything has to be on your pace, don't force yourself."

'I won't.'

When they were done with breakfast Demon picked her up and gave her a hug. "I'm so proud of you for practicing with a carriage on your own, don't forget to tell me everything during dinner."

She smiled and hugged him back.

 

 

At the practice ground she was greeted by the soldiers.

They started with running first.

She was the first to finish the laps and then again chased after the soldiers and told them to hurry up because she didn't want to wait for them.

She was very good at boosting the moral of the soldiers and when they were done running they did there starching and started to sword practice.

When they were done they all bid her a good day and would see her tomorrow.

 

"The little Lady should become a knight don't you think?"

"Well she does have great potential."

"Why not try and see how she is with strategizing."

"She is only 6, isn't it a bit too early for that?"

"Why not? If she fails it's no problem and it will only be on paper."

"Well she is just 6 years old and she is still growing so even if she can't do it now, she still has a lot of time to learn."

"But I think a role of instructor would suit her better."

"That's true."

"We'll just watch the little Lady grow for now."

 

 

Hisha was at the stables and met up with the coachman.

'Henry!'

"Little Lady are you ready?"

She nodded.

He crouched down to her level. "Remember, if you feel sick or uncomfortable let me know."

'Yes.'

Henry strapped a horse in front of a cart and she was put on it by Henry.

"How far do you want to go?"

'Uhm fist we go half way to town.'

Henry urged the horse and they took off, Aster and Demon were watching her go and had a smile on their face, seeing her work on her discomforts.

Hisha was looking around and took in the scenery she like the surroundings and was very happy.

After a while Henry stopped because the hit there destination.

"Little Lady are you alright?"

He looked back and saw she was fine.

'Let's go further!'

"How much further?"

'The edge of town.'

Henry smiled and they rode the further.

When they reached it she felt a little sick and Henry gave her some water and they relaxed at the river before heading back.

"Little Lady did very well, next time we try it in 1 go."

She smiled and nodded.

After half an hour she felt good again and they headed back.

This time she made it in one go but felt sick again and she rested up at Ash stable.

 

 

She then was going for her next obstacle.

She arrived at the mansion and opened the door and looked in to the big hall.

She slowly got in and closed the door.

Sebastian saw her. "Little Lady?"

Hisha looked spooked for a moment but when she saw Sebastian she calmed down.

"Can I help you little Lady?"

She looked around a bit anxious. 'My father's room, where he sleeps.'

"Alright, let me bring you."

He took her by the hand and walk with her to the room and opened the door.

She walked in and it was pretty bright.

"Let me know when you want to leave so I can guide you back."

She nodded but she was take in how big the room was.
