Chapter 15:
The Lazy & Carefree Princess
The Princess was really cool. At times she seemed more mature and much older than I was. As if she was wiser and had way more life experience than the average kid... but that shouldn't be possible because she's only slightly older than me.
But then I see her sometimes panicking and being nervous, at those times I am remembered that she is around my age, I'm glad, and my expectations or what you may call my "delusions" of her disappear.
If she was an all-perfect person then that would be so much pressure. I probably wouldn't be able to get along with her as well as I do now.
She even taught me this nice hand gesture that they call the promise thingy!
I had to say I was really relieved to know that the "Stabbing a needle in my eye" was just pretence. If it were to be true...
I don't want to think about it.
But now I'm happy!
It's a move that only she and I knows!
Later on we went ahead to go to the training stadium for the royal knights. When I first got there I did not know what to expect. One thing for sure was that the stadium was far more advanced, larger and more grand than I ever imagined.
When the topics of future dreams came up again, Princess Lucillia introduced me to the one sir who would become my future role model.
Yep, he was none other than, Sir Lancelot, the captain of the royal guards.
Sir Lancelot was different from the others, while other knights wanted to fight for the honor and glory. He just simply wanted to protect.
Why?
Because he had respect.
To Protect
Because he simply cared for the king.
With Respect
For him and his family.
Those few words resonated deeply within my heart. Coming from a orphanage I never had things dear to me. There was no point because I have always had them taken away. I didn't even have a chance to fight back. All their rules were absolute. And of course, in the end, I were always to be abandoned.
Luckily, I got accepted into the royal family, met her, and everything slowly started to change.
Slowly, the world was starting to look bright again.
And so, I found the one thing dear to me.
I, want to protect this moment.
This space.
This relationship.
But most importantly, the one person more precious than the one who is known to be my role model.
In fact, you can even say she influenced me even more.
With her views and thoughts I thought that I can follow her.
I thought that I could possibly trust her.
If it was her, it might be possible to save others like me as well.
And also give them light again.
As turned to look at the one standing beside me I thought, I want to protect this person.
With her silver hair flowing by the wind, my eyes glistened as I took a glance at her face.
This was the person who gave me my purpose.
Yes,
She is none other than,
Princess Lucillia of the Weasha Kingdom.

Hello!!! I'm back! I apologise for not uploading last week. I was on a family vacation and so I had no internet. But anyway this chapter is up. Was it cheesy? It was probably cheesy wasn't it. I tried to make it uh, meaningful. I tried. But anyway this chapter was just meant to show Lucillia's influence on Edward and how he is slowly trying to move forward from this past. (His past shall be more elaborated on later in the story, probably as a special chapter or smth like this as well.) But yeaaa, next chap will finally continue on with the story!
Thanks again for reading :)
