A month later ,
Am now totally familiar with the palace ; most of the rules , the duties and the weird crowned prince.
I've decided not to ask myself questions about him and decide to get used to the way I found him , maybe that's how he is , possessive with his maids , I don't have the power to question that .
This morning he left with the king to go settle the conflict which is going on in Tabana kingdom, they are fighting with each other over power , and as I told you , our King is the most respected, wise and the greatest.. for that reason, many kings seem to be under him and mostly they would ask him for advice and if he says something they listen to him .
Am walking aimlepssly around the palace, my thoughts scattered all over , I don't understand the crowned prince ; what he does sometimes and what he says is giving me a very wrong idea which I shouldn't even be thinking about in the first place.
But all in all I like him , he is so friendly to me , I don't know to other people , most of the time when he's free we would spend the time together talking about bullshit and quarrel about nonsense.
It really make me feel warm inside because it's like I just made my very first friend , and to know that he somehow enjoy my company even if he doesn't say it,, really makes me emotional right now.
I've never felt special in my life .
I love how determined and ambitious he is . He is also skilled , especially in fighting, sometimes he trains the nights and I always accompany him.
The king loves him the most maybe because he's his successor or maybe it's because generally he's a good person . Even the people love him because of his kind heart but they fear him also for I don't know what reason because so far I haven't seen anything that could make me fear him.
Even after creating a bad relationship between Kingdom Charna and our kingdom for rejecting princess Fernanda's hand in marriage , the king wasn't mad at him .
I thought it would be so bad that the king make a fuss about it but surprisingly , he told the crowned prince that his happiness mattered, for the sake of our kingdom and for his own sake also.
He told him to choose whichever girl he wanted.
Since that day we've been talking about that topic a lot , I've asked him about the girl he likes several times and he kept telling me that I know her so much.. which left me more curious but he totally refused to say even a name .
..My aimless walk get me to the field where he always trains the knights from . I turn around to leave before I get to where they are.
" Excuse me " I turn around towards the voice,, behind me and I curse inside , scolding myself for coming this way because the person I've been avoiding all along just cought up with me.
Michael, my uncle's best friend, since the first time I came in the field and saw him I haven't had peace . The way he has been staring at me has been worrying me because I can't help to think that he has identified me.
I even refuse to go to the training field but Prince Arthur forces me to.
" Madin , is this you ?!" My legs shake nervously, I want to stay calm but I can't . Maybe this is the reason that have affirmed his suspicion.
Before my uncle died , I used to be close to Michael because he used to spent most of the time at my uncle's.
I turn around gathering all my courage but I still couldn't manage to look at him directly.
" Am sorry , you must be confusing me with someone else ." I say trying to sound confident.
" Cut the bullshit, you really think I can fail to recognize you? I've been watching you closely and I believe am not wrong . Anyway,, All that aside , can you now tell me what the hell you are doing here in a lady's dress!?"
He asks looking completely confused .
" What are you talking about?" I try my luck to reject again but it seems I won't make it .
" I went at your uncle's two weeks ago to look for you but your aunt told me that you ran away and she doesn't know where you are , I've been trying to find you because your uncle made me promise that I'll look after you Madin , when he was dying all he could say is your name and how worried he was about your well being. "
" Uncle Michael.." I find myself calling his name softly , emotions filling my chest , so after all there's a person who is aware of my existence and cares , he even tried to find me , apart from my uncle and my mom no one else has ever shown concern about me .
He hugs me looking completely happy . But suddenly his face and voice become serious . " Do you know how dangerous this is ?! If they ever find out that you are not who you are , they'll take it as you trying to fool the royal family , and you know what the consequences will be ? Death! They'll have you killed ! Why did you do this?"
" She made me do it . " I say not caring what the consequences will be .
" She's really evil! Madin , I need to get you away from this place before you get cought. Why would you agree to do something like this anyway? "
"I had no choice uncle Michael , she would have thrown me out and I had no place to go ."
" Why didn't you come to me ? You know I'll always be here for you. Anyway,, That aside , right now I need to get you away from this palace . "
" He won't let me go "
" who? "
" The crowned prince "
" Why won't he let you go , does he know you ? "
" am his maid "
" My goodness! Are you being serious? That is even more dangerous , how did you find yourself in such a position , if you get caught there'll be no discussion on that. But don't worry, I'll find an excuse or just a reason to try and get you away , they sometimes listen to me , so I'll try . "
" Okay , thank you uncle Michael."
" No need , am sorry I came late to look for you , this wouldn't have happened, that woman is really evil , I can't believe she made you do this , am very sure her intention was to make you get caught and killed . "
I don't say anything to that, for I have nothing to say , but am so happy I have someone sharing my worries .
" Am idle , can I practice with you , I want to be strong and be able to protect myself ."
" I know they are not strict about this , anyone can train as long as you don't neglect your duties but what we're doing now is not something you'll be able to do , maybe I give you classes for your level some other time ."
" I still want to try , please "
" Okay , come on " I follow him happily.
He give me some clothes from a sack , they look like the one's the men are wearing, I still have girl's hair and fake breasts so I'll definitely still look like a girl in them .
" Go Put on these and come back "
" Thank you , I say running happily to what seems like a wooden shed that is few meters away from them . I put them one leaving my dress inside and come out . "
°°°
After so much training we finally stop . I should have listened to Micheal , my legs can barely move , the moment I joined the team he couldn't spare me no matter how much I wanted to leave or take a break ! He said he warned me.
But somehow am still happy because now am becoming a real man .
Most of the girls joined us later on which made me feel a bit more comfortable.
Walking back to the mansion,,
I struggle up the stairs supporting myself on the wall , I swear if a person see me now they'll have a very wrong idea of what happened to me , the guards are even looking at weirdly.
