Chapter 30: Chapter 30

The next morning, what my grandfather wanted happened. I dressed in a simple camouflage pants and darkgreen t-shirt because I was going to dive into training. We made sure there were many soldiers scattered around the palace and no one could enter from 100 kilometers palace especially if carrying a camera. Seeing me has to be hidden. As for the university. General William fixed that yesterday.

Lady Son took me to the wide open field. He is the son of the head of the maids here in the palace. He was assigned to take care of me and follow my orders. When I saw General William. He quickly bowed as well as the soldiers behind him. I just smiled.

"I will teach you some basic hand defense before we turn to hard. Which contains sword and gun. I hope you're ready your highness," General

"I'm ready," I replied

I expected my first day of training to be really hard when it comes to fighting but I didn’t expect to have bruises and excessive body pain because of that. General William will teach strongly when it comes to hand to hand combat and martial arts. What is easy for him is difficult. What if what was hard for him was going to be hell for me? Can I handle it?

I sat down on my bed and let my body spontaneously fit into my soft bed. My back hurt from repeatedly falling to the ground and my arms due to his kicks.

"Are you all right princess?" Lady Son asked worriedly

I nodded, "I don't want to lie lady son. I'm not well," I tiredly replied

He went home and quickly ordered two of the maids in my room a cold compress for my back that I knew had been bruised.

"Your Majesty? May I express an opinion?" He asked hesitantly

I opened one eye and looked at him, "All right. What's that?"

"You don't have to go through this hardship, dear princess. I know you can handle the country like your father even if you don't go through this hardship. Don't even think about Minister Costomo's insult," he had a concerned statement

I sighed for strength and then spoke again, "No one will succeed if he does not go through hardship and training. Lady Son, I have accepted hardship since I knew I was a princess. Every day I see the princess. My kingdom is ... slowly falling. That's enough for me to gain strength and continue training until I become a good queen. If it's for the people. Any other kind of training. I'll do it. As long as I don't break the I promise, "I replied to him

His expression softened, "Someone like you who cares about other people deserves to sit on the throne. I hope you are blessed, Your Majesty,"

I just smiled at him then closed my eyes. A few minutes later the door opened and it spat out the two maids holding the cold compress. When Lady Son put me down and then lifted my T-shirt, I didn't hesitate anymore. I close my eyes when I feel the cold thing behind me.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. That's exactly how my wife trains so that her body can get used to the pain," Lady Son said.

I was shocked to hear him say, "A-wife !? Is General William your wife?" I can't believe my question

"Yes dear princess. She is my wife and we already have one child," he replied happily

"B-but .... I thought .... I just can't believe it. D-because ... you look younger than him. How old are you Lady Son?" I will ask

He laughed softly, "I am ten years away from your mother Your Majesty and my wife is five years old. William looks really old but he is only thirty-five, Your Majesty, unlike General Anthony Herbert and King Magnus," he said.

I was suddenly curios so I even asked him, "Will the three of them meet?"

I felt my back straight so I sat up from all over and adjusted my t-shirt that was up.

"They don't just know each other, Your Majesty. They are friends despite the differences in life. Your father ... he's a good person so I'm not surprised that your mother likes him even though he's very angry with king magnus. At least yet everyone knows that King Magnus will be the next to sit on the throne, your father doesn't care about making friends with people who are not officials. Everyone loves king magnus as well as your mother so much that they disappear. people who are here especially your grandparents as well as William and former general Anthony, "he said sadly.

I smiled sadly at him, "It's sad to think that they aren't the ones telling me these things but I have to accept. My parents are gone and the only thing I can do is continue the leadership left by my real father, "

He caressed my back, "Your parents must be very happy now in the kingdom of Bathala because their princess is alive," Lady Son

I smiled at him. Our conversation continued when suddenly the soldier spoke from outside, "Dear princess Lily is outside," Lady Son quickly stood up.

The door to my room opened and then Lily came in frowning. She was wearing a floor -length dress. It was a green color that made her eyes even brighter.

"Vy !! I don't want to be here anymore !! They don't want me to go out or even use phones! They want us to learn to act like real princesses and the training will start later!" Her complaint

I laughed at the look on his face now. Because Ly is not used to not holding a gadget. Even if he doesn't go out as long as he has a laptop or phone, it's okay but now everything he does is forbidden. He must be irritated.

"Leave us first," I ordered Lady Son

He nodded and went out with the other helpers. When the door closes. There I turned to Ly.

"You know we're no longer just simple women going to university to study. So they should train us to act right and another. It's dangerous for you to come out!" Saway ko

"Here you again. Following her limitations. I know that but I don't want anyone to change my habits and be deprived of entertainment in this big palace!" Lily

"Ly," I touched her shoulder, "You don't have to change who you are Ly. All they want is for us to be worthy in front of other blue-blooded people. Maybe you'll be embarrassed?" I laughed

"Yes!" He gave up. He suddenly looked at what I was wearing, "What happened to you? Did your training start?"

I leaned on the heardboard, "Yes and it's really tiring. My body hurts a lot. What's worse. This is just the beginning. What can happen to me in the next few days,"

I looked at her as she held my hand, "The Elvyra I know doesn't give up. I know you can do it Vy!"

"But I'm no longer Elvyra,"

"Silly! Of course you're still my bestfriend! Your name and status in life have just changed but you're still Elvyra who I know is a smart, brave, and know-her-limitation woman. That's why Luhence likes you. You're father ----, "he paused

At least I was shocked to hear that name again. Everything that happened to us seemed to flashback. Her fiancè, confrontation and she has not seen him yet. My chest tightened and I quickly lost my mood.

"Sorry for mentioning him Vy,"

"It's okay Ly. I accept that .... we're not. I hope she gets along well with her fiancé,"

We were silent for a while until he broke the question that stopped my heartbeat, "What if you meet again Vy?"

My heart stopped and it was as if something stuck in my throat, "I will pray that their marriage with her fiancè continues because otherwise .... I don't know what to do especially if I still love her,"

He held my hand. His face is very serious so I know he is hiding something from me. I quietly waited for him.

"I asked Nash, Vy. He told me it was just an arranged marriage. No feelings involved," he took a deep breath "I'm annoyed with Luhence because he lied to you Vy but I'm just thinking. He just did it because he loves you He and he doesn't want to lose you. You can't blame him for being afraid to lose you, "Lily

I shook my head then stood up. I'm going to get dressed for lunch, "I love her Ly and I don't want to be away from her but it's wrong. She's getting married. At least I never expected to ruin my marriage! I don't have anything ... to do. I'll just focus on it. the Ihmapuleya, "

I called Lady son from outside to fix my bath. They forbade me to clean or do anything else. I don't want to lose their jobs so I let them.

"I'll go first Vy! Let's just meet later!" His face suddenly frowned "I still have training to do,"

I just shook hands with him then went into the bathroom where there was a big bathtub then took off all my clothes and went downstairs. I relaxed my back and closed my eyes. When I made sure I was feeling well. I stood up then put on my underwear and a robe before going out. One is your simple lavender dress. Its skirt is long from the back opposite to its front which is short. I wore a knee-high high-heeled boots. I got taller and taller. Then they arranged my hair in a simple braide and then put the tiara on my head.

They bowed and stepped back slightly to give me way. I stood up and walked out the door. As we head to the dining area which is also far away due to the size of the palace. Lady Son spoke.

"I heard my wife majesty. It looks like a new commotion has happened outside," Lady Son

I stopped at what he said. I was quickly nervous that there might be another bombing.

This is not possible!

They may think that the kingdom is weak because they think I am gone. They have the courage to explode and kill. I clenched my fist. Who will do it? They definitely need something so they do it!

I walked quickly to the dining area even though I was in heels. I want to know what's going on! I sat in a chair pulled up by a soldier, who was at the other end. When I sat down, I could see the seriousness on Grandpa’s face so I knew Lady Son was right.

I waited until we finished eating before I said, "I know I'm still in training ....," They looked at me, but I didn't look at them but at my plate, "But I still have the right to know what's going on outside. of the palace, "

Grandpa sighed loudly and looked at me seriously, "We don't want to pressure you Princess Samara. You'd just got in here in a very short time,"

"When I found out I was the missing princess. Many questions came to my mind. It was just like if I could run a country but when I found out that there were innocent deaths just because of selfish people. I overcome the pressure and change it into strength and confidence. Even before everything is new to me Lo. I can handle as I said but how can I get through this if you don't make me feel like I'm the next leader? You're treating me like a princess even if You know that my time as a princess was long overdue, "

They looked down as I continued to speak, "I'm starting to change myself for my country. From the clothes, ways and speech. So Lo. Don't hide from me the real problem of our kingdom because that's where I'm drawing of strength for every day I have here in the palace, "I said seriously

"If that's what you want .... Crown princess, then so be it," He stood up as he sat down "Let's talk in my office about the bombing in southern part of Ihmapuleya that killed more than a hundred lives,"

I blinked, "No way,"
