Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 177 chapter 177.
Bowing in a perfect 90 degrees, he rushed to greet the princess. He never thought, that the person he tried to save turned out to be a princess.
” Long live princess Aeinshia. We hope you stay healthy always, ” He spoke, as he still stood in a bowing position.
Unmounting from her horse, she too bowed back, which left many guards and the hunter speechless. It is very rare to see a Royal this humble and without arrogance. She valued their contributions and is willing to thank him with whole heart. For any citizen, this is enough to feel their sincerity and enough to make them feel honoured.
Aeinshia replied back, ” Save the courtesies. I am really thankful for your brave actions today. Please follow us back to the Royal Palace in City shelter, ” She requested him humbly, as she is deemed to bestow a reward on his bravery, for not scurrying away like a chicken when he faced such a dangerous situation before.
The man bowed again, with a gentle smile, he replied, ” Princess Aeinshia, before saving her Highness, I didn’t know I am saving a princess. Which means, I didn’t rescue you in expectations of any prize in return. So princess, I think you understood what I mean, ” He replied back.
Aeinshia nodded her head in acknowledgment, ” Follow my men to the palace for now. We can talk about everything else later, ” She ordered and eyed a guard, who immediately understood what he need to do in a situation like that.
No matter what, if an imperial family member is kind enough to bestow a citizen something, he or she need to comply to accept it and can’t reject the offer. Rejecting their prize or gift means rejecting their kindness, which means insult them in a roundabout manner indirectly.
In no time, the guard managed to get a horse for the hunter and asked him to ride on it along with them on their journey.
Without any more talk with anyone else, Aeinshia mounted the horse.
Peter waited for a few seconds, till Aeinshia adjusted on the horse to her comfort. Before he could signal the guards to start their journey back to cherry blossom palace, A win enquires him about Sana.
“Sir Peter? ” Calling for him, her eyes began to roam all around the surroundings.
Peter immediately eyed her, waiting for response.
Aeinshia: ” Sana couldn’t be seen anywhere near. I wonder where she is, ” She asked him, curious to know where is Sana.
Saying that he signalled the gaurds to March forward.
Since princess Aeinshia is also coming with them, unlike before, they didn’t rush to get back to the palace. Instead, to not tire her out, they moved in a medium level of speed.
An hour later….
After nearly one hour, Aeinshia could finally see the Palace gates and the palace. After this sight came into her eyes only, she took a breath of relief. After taking a nap, she felt all refreshed and could feel a new from energy overflows in her body.
During the whole journey, she tried to rewind all the events that took place today.
She got up, started her journey to the temple, visited city shelter and it’s huge market, met a pair or grandpa and his grandson—–
Something immediately clicked her when she recalled it.
” Yes, this must be it. I made sure to not drink and eat anything from palace, and throughout the journey, till I reached city Sylter. So far that I didn’t even drink water till I reached this city, yet I didn’t pay much heed to it and believed that old man words, who convinced me and my knights to drink grape nectar. ”
” What did I let my guard down in front of a old man and a kid. Shit, I think I still had a lot of room for improvement and is still not cautious enough regarding my security.
I am such a fool to be fooled by him. Why didn’t I think about him earlier? Yes, he must be related to them. I need to catch him. After getting inside the palace, I need to let Peter search for that old man and his grandchild, ” She thought internally in her head.
” Now that I remember, I think the litlle boy gave me something. Could it be that he gave it to me to warn me? But when I opened to paper to look at what was inside it, I couldn’t understand anything and it felt I saw such letters before. But where is it? Where could it be? Aish~ why is my memory so weak? I need to give everything another thought before coming to a decision, ” She thought inside her heart.
To say the fact, she really is feeling something very fishy about the whole incident involving the old man and his grandson. How is the old man related to those bastards? She really wanted to find answer to this question. She felt it is for better if they soon start their search for them. Who knows, they might have their own story on their side too.
Since the standing guards outside the gate of cherry blossom palace already verified and saw Peters face, they immediately opened the doors without any delay.
However, few really had their doubts, when they saw princess in a mens attire, wearing a shirt and pant, unlike her usual long gowns, coming grandly. Of course, they couldn’t deny the fact that their princess even managed to look splendid even in mens attire and her aura was even more implicating in this attire compared to before.
However, the bandages on the injured guards body didn’t get go by unnoticing. They could all say, something wrong went on the princess side for her to get many injured guards back along with her, however, at the end, they tongue tied
and held their curiousty within themselves.
As the gates opened, the first person to come out to greet Aeinshia was the captain, who is responsible for the guards here.
This captain and Aeinshia always had a special bond with each other and he is definitely trust worthy. Aeinshia got no doubts in his character and loyalty towards her and the other imperial family members.
Aeinshia’s face brimmed with happiness and an unknown smile crept on her face just as her gaze landed on him. The usual grumpy captain too suddenly became a softy, as he too welcomed his beloved princess with a smile.
He always looked forward every year for this month, waiting for Aeinshia to visit this palace and visit him at the same time. She is like his own child and always got a cheerful personality, who often cheered others and cared about them. Very few can hate her with her bright sunshine like personality. He is also a fan of her too.
His whole life was dedicated to the imperial family and particularly no one to be called as his own, except for the men he trained. With his old age, no one to accompany him, she made him feel realize there is someone who is cared about him and wants his guidance. So she always held a high position in his heart.
Aeinshia got down from her horse, following her, all guards too unmounted their horses. Not even before they took 10 steps, a wailing sound was heard.
Aeinshia’s eyes widened in shock. Look at her luck, she was about to pass down the orders about searching this pair of grandson and grandpa, and here, miracle happened, the young lad came himself knocking at the door.
One could clearly see tears falling down his cheeks. Only God knows from when he is sobbing, as his eyes already swollen from all the crying.
” Da… Daddy… Daddy, ” With muffled sounds, he ran towards the hunter.
Hugging his father’s lap, he continued to sob, ” Save… Mo.. Momma, ” He cried his heart out, as he tried to sau out these few words.
Aeinshia felt another wave of shock when she heard the little boy declared the hunter as his father and when he asked for help.
What is happening here? Could it be as she guessed?
