Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 158 chapter 158.

Caught off guard, the first reaction was made by George, by drawing out his sword in his pent up state. Someone dared to stop a Royal, punishing them is something they must do and henceforth, He instantly flew to them and raised his sword, but only to withdraw it back witnessing the old man’s response to them.

The old man immediately fell on his knees and following that, he dragged the young boy too, to fall on his knees, to greet the first princess of the seazle empire.

The old man really isn’t in good condition, and the young boy too isn’t really in any much better state. The old man’s clothes were all torn, which he repeatedly stitched, showing his line of poverty. He is pale and lean, showing all his bones, while his spine got bent which is clearly showing his old age and weak body. He seemed colourless and drained off his fluids inside his body.

Seeing the old man’s condition, Aeinshia thought they need some assistance. At first she felt pity. She knew poverty is inevitable in any empire, but directly witnesssing someone, she really can’t leave the people of her empire without doing any help to them and decided to help them as much as it is her hands.

Even though, they fell on their knees showing they respect the empire and their princess, George still, at the end directed his sword towards the old man’s neck, to enquire the reason for his rudeness. Though, he simply drew his sword and didn’t meant any harm, his actions got wrong on others point of view.

Not only the little boy, including Sana, Aeinshia and Oliver, everyone believed George is ready to kill the old man for becoming a hindrance to their journey and for daring to stop a Royal. Well, both Sana and Oliver did support his decision, even though, they both know, this old man and the young boy is never a threat to the princess, but still, such rudeness isn’t something accepted.

Watching his grand father bring held by a sword at his neck, the little boy immediately started to cry.

Wah~ wah~~

Waah~shu~

He cried as he sniffled. He might be around 7 or 6 years. He seemed too cute to look at and Aeinshia wondered how will he look if he smiles. Can’t help it, small children are her weakness and she cannot see them crying like that.

Her heart dropped by an inch, ad his cries went nonstop and there seemed no end to his tears.

Wah~

Wah~ wah~

Aeinshia frowned a little and looked hesitant. Though Sana didn’t get to see Aeinshia’s reaction or hesitancy, she understood what might be their first princess be thinking at such time and finally spoke something, before Aeinshia could speak anything.

” Sir George, please step aside and let the old man raise to his feet, ” She spoke, with a hint of concern in her voice, as sweetness of honey flowed out in her words.

Aeinshia felt relieved, as she sighed a sigh of relief and internally clapped for Sana’s award winning performance. Her voice, and the way she spoke just now, no one can doubt that she isn’t princess and sure she did, full justice to her role as today’s princess.

Listening to Sana’s command, George immediately stepped back and went away, nearly 10 inches away from the old man, while the old man first spoke to the child to stand up and following it, he too stood on his feet, taking the help of his grand child.

Finally standing on his feet, the old man hung his head low. Following his grand fathers actions, the young boy too bowed his head.

” Long live seazle empire, long live the princess. We hope your journey till here has been smooth, ” The old man greeted and exchanged pleasantries, while the young boy silently listened to his grand father’s words.

Sana waited for a second, and only replied before giving it a second thought on how to respond back to the old man, ” You can raise your heads. Hope you didn’t stop us just to enquire this, ” Sara spoke, her voice carried a little coldness in it.

The old man felt a shiver run down his spine, as he listened to Sana’s words. If everything is alright, then why would he really need to halt their journey? It’s only because he got no option but to obligue their orders. Because, their family can’t bare the consequences of their own actions and he can’t wrong his hard built family.

Gaining his composure and finding courage to speak, he only spoke after few minutes, to which the other party too gave the old man his time to speak his words. They were all respecting his age and it is in fact, a princess duty too, to know the problems faced by their empire’s subjects and help them. So it is only advisable to atleast listen to what they wanna try to say.

Taking a heavy breath, the old man continued, ” I sincerely apologize for my rash behavior earlier your highness, the flower of our empire, princess Aeinshia, ” He paused for a while and then continued, ” Me and my youngest grand son wanted to gift her highness, princess Aeinshia, this honey. This is the purest form of honey and we wish you accept our gift. Please do accept our gift, ” The old man earned earnestly.

This is something which no Royal can decline. Their citizens came to their door, offering something out of gratitude for taking care of the empire, which inturn means taking care of them. So, how can they simply turn down this simple request of gratitude from their citizens. They could only accept it.

Listening to his words, Sana only thought, it is only correct to let their princess take this gift of token and hence, her words came out accordingly, ” I appreciate your thought of sending gift to Imperial family. Please pass the gift to my knight, ” Saying such, Sana shifted her gaze towards the princess, directing her dialogues to Aeinshia.

Aeinshia understood Sana’s intention for letting her take the gift and felt happy, while at the same time appreciated Sana for her thoughtfulness.

Aeinshia slowly and carefully mounted off browny and walked past Sana. Then, she made her way towards the old man, as walked with full of elegance and gracefulness. Despite dressed as a knight, the imperial aura she tried to put off didn’t leave her and came along with her as a shadow.

The old man smiled happily, as he stared at Sana and then stared at Aeinshia. He knew, princess will surely accept his gift and his job will be done. Once his job would be done, then he is set free to leave. Happiness beamed out of his face.

” Thank you Highness. Thank you for accepting this low peasant’s gift. Long live princess Aeinshia, long live seazle empire. This peasant will never forget such wonderful moment in my life. We are blessed to be able to stand in front of her highness, the flower of empire, ” The old man went on and on without a care to his words. Of course, he only spoke good and sweet words, so no objected him and continued his blabbery.

How can any knight stop anyone, when they are talking great about their princess. It’s is only correct for them to spare the other party and continue their praising.

Though the old man spoke mere words, he unknowingly made her remember something unpleasant. This is that trip, which trampled the flower of empire. She came till here without any fear and gathered all courage to come here. She is fine till this very moment. But, something is giving her negative vibes and as if, she felt, something bad is waiting for her at the end. Her instincts are saying something is really wrong here but she couldn’t point it out.

” Jeremy dear, pass the honey pot to this knight, ” The old man grinned happily,as his purpose for today is completed. There is a hint of evilness is filled in his voice,which got unnoticed by everyone else.

The old man ordered to his grand child, to which he followed by taking the honey pot from the tree aside them, which seemed like they stored in under the shade to present it. Beside the honey pot, there is a small set up of things and filled with grapes.
