The Royal Highness

Chapter 3 New way...

I was eagerly waiting for them to ask for help so that I could rescue them and warm myself up after a huge gap. My hands were itching to hit someone, and my urge was cooled when that girl screamed,

"Help..."

I covered my face with the cloth I had and rushed there, they started laughing at me,

"Hey, slum are you hear to die..." It didn't irritate me.

But I was happy that I couldn't show them, One of them came to hit me with a chain in his hand, but before he could make his move I held the chain and dragged him down on the

ground, he hit his head and spread on the ground,

All of them were shocked, they rushed to me with their weapons,

"thud.... thud... thud..." and done, it was so simple, I wished it could be longer but they were not trained at all, and that made me sick of them.

A man who was with them had a gun, it seemed interesting and he pointed it at me, it made me smirk, as he was shivering, I jumped to lift another gun and fell on the ground, with my legs, and in just a fraction of seconds, I got that and hit him on his head but poor he, before I could snatch the gun, he gave me out of fear.

There were no deads as I was going easy on them, but something got my attention, there was a man in one of the cars but he didn't get down, I am sure he didn't want to expose himself, I went near the car but he left instantly, and all of them collected their men spread on the ground and ran one after the other.

That girl and the man with her came out of the wagon, That man was so excited, but that girl seemed off,

"Thank you very much hero," he says expressing his gratitude, That man extended his arm to shake hands with me, but that girl was filled with attitude, she took out a bag from the wagon and took out a lot of money from it and extended it to me...

"Take these..." Her blue eyes looked at me with disgust and she was filled with selfdom. As per rules I can't store money, so I refused to take it, she glared at me gritting her teeth, and threw the money down,

I was raged, I was like her before but now I know the importance of every penny.

I bent and collected all the bills and put them in her hand,

"Do you know how hard it is to earn money?"

The man next to her started chuckling.

"I like that, it's nice to meet you, my name is Charles, and what about you?" he asked me,

"I am A...Luis" I lied. he looked like one from the royal family, I didn't want any doubts,

"Do you stay nearby?" he asked,

"No, I am new here," I answered.

That girl was getting on my nerves now, she was murmuring something on me as if resenting me and turned her face to the opposite side,

"I'll take my leave now" I meant and I was about to leave, but he asked,

"Hey, Luis, what do you do? I mean you are a good fighter, I just want to know out of curiosity," he intended. Well, I can't tell him the truth, but it seems like I can get a job,

"I don't have any particular job to do, I just wander around, " I said avoiding his question,

"If you don't have a job, would you like to come with us, I can offer you a decent job,"

I thought it through, I think I can give it a try I can hide there for the time being.

She glared at him in disagreement, but he denied it,

She was a sort of beautiful, with blue big eyes, fair and soft skin, not very tall, but slim with a good figure,

On the whole, as Prince Alan, I can consider her as a footmaid for me...

I smirked thinking about that,

Charles observed me,

"Hey, do you agree?"

"Hmm... ok" I replied, he was happy maybe because he thought he was safe with me.

But that girl, she was annoyed,

I commented sarcastically,

"But I think your maid doesn't like my company"

Charles laughed at once and she stared at me with dangerous anger in her eyes,

"Hey she's my sister, Princess Amber," he says introducing me to that foot maid, ... I mean Princess.

"Oh... sorry Princess" my answer was sarcastic, but I couldn't help it because I hate girls with that attitude.

They sat on the back seat of the royal wagon and I sat on the front seat.

We traveled a long way and reached the town, I never saw that, I asked Charles,

"Sir, which town is this?"

he replied with a spark in his eyes,

"We are in Hamdon kingdom"

Handon was one of the foreign cities, as per my knowledge, the battle I just won was nearby in the neighborhood,

These all kingdoms were on my list, but due to this exile, I was unable to fulfill my target.

Out of the town, there was a beautiful Palace, not as big as the palace of Verona, but it wasn't small either.

I think I can spend the rest of the years of my exile in peace.

As soon as we reached the gate, that arrogant Princess rushed in and Charles turned me to instruct something,

"Luis, you stay here, I will be right back."

I nodded and took the wagon aside,

It looked like a peaceful kingdom, I felt calmness,

"come on Luis, let's go in"

Charles convened,

I followed him, but there was a doubt deep inside me,

who the king was? Though I never met anyone officially, I have been on the battlefield for more than a year, fought with several kings,

I don't know if he may be one of them.

We moved forward to the main hall through the other rooms of the palace, It was neatly maintained and well-furnished, Charles turned back to me to explain something,

"Luis, I don't know if you know it or not, but do greet the king when you are in, and don't offend him, please"

Of course, I won't, but I know he was concerned about me, and I like it,

"OK.." I nodded my head in agreement.

We went in, and the main hall was well built, "Good...!!" I exclaimed unknowingly,

"Shhh..." he said showing me in,

I saw a middle-aged man, King sitting on the throne, I looked straight at him, and Charles elbowed me to bow,

" I Luis greet the king," I said while kneeling and bowing my head in respect of the king.

"Hmm... so you are the man who saved my children?" he inquired in a bold voice,

"Yes Your Highness, your humble servant was lucky that he was able to help a little" Charles was staring at me with surprise, I guessed I did something to make him do so.

"You look courteous, Where are you from?" the king asked,

I understood that I just make it difficult for myself, how could a beggar or a wanderer know court rules?

This was the reason why Charles was staring at me.
