Conceited Princess (Mitsuomi and Nurse_K)

[Mitsuomi]

"The skirmishes have been going on for more than a year, general. It is official at this point... we are at war."

The lieutenant's voice seemed hard and stern. "We are going to be in a world of hurt if we do not move her away... "

"The princess may be young, but she has a strong will... and is confident without fail."

"That may be true sir, but she has not excelled in combat. She may be killed."

"We may all be killed lieutenant..."

"Yes... but you nor I are the princess of this falling country. For God's sake, she doesn't know her parents were killed..."

"Enough. You will be overheard. Contact our neighbors. They are allies. They have already sent us large sums of men, ask them to lend us an escort. I will abide by your predictions."

"I am glad to hear sir. I will send our fastest eagles to Monsaru. Our princess will be safe there. I assure you."

"And as about us... lieutenant...?"

"Our job is to die fighting is it not sir?"

The general smiled. "Alisa. Get me my spear." The man, now in command of the country due to the king and queen's murder, was to control the nation, everyone but he and his trusted lieutenant knowing about their tragic murder. Good-willed and devouted to protect what shambles remained of their nation, they would surely die in the struggle to help the princess escape this torn land.

"I shall speak to the princess, general." He said, Alisa, the general's mute assistant bringing him his favorite weapon.

"Yes. Pray your eagles travel faster than wind."

The lieutenant saluted and rushed out of the chamber, needing to dispatch his winged messengers and locate their youthful princess.



"This is lieutenant Agrido from the country of Navaska. I am writing to you to ask you for urgent assistance. We appreciate you sending us powerful reinforcements and supplying us with goods, but our future still seems bleak. We ask you not for reinforcements, but for an agile and powerful escort to transfer our princess out of Navaska. She is our pride and our only reason to fight, and we put our most precious gemstone in your caring hands. Please welcome her into your country and allow her to live a safe and healthy life. Tremendous gratitude, Lieutenant Agrido from the country of Navaska."

The young warrior spoke slowly enough for the scribe to make note, horrified by the message itself. "Now write it again scribe... send Axehook and Ramellia, your two fastest eagles." He said, dropping a bag of coin on the scribe's desk as he exited.

He made his way towards a place far more dangerous than the battlefield. Slowly opening her heavy door, the soldier peeked into the princess' private quarter. "M'lady... may I please enter...?"

 

[Nurse_K]

Elsa had been lounging on a couch in her private chamber staring up at the painted cieling when the door opened. She turned her head sharply, her honey brown eyes narrowing. Her dark brown hair was piled on top of her head in curls, as was the custom of the country. She wore a pale blue gown that had lace frills at the cuffs and on the bodice. The princess was short, only five foot four, and she had just turned eighteen, but she had a woman's body.

She sat up and turned fully towards the door, "What do you want?" she asked coldly, her silky voice full of ice. If she wanted to be, she could be sultry and seductive, but she preferred to be icy and aloof.

 

[Mitsuomi]

Agrido scrambled into her chamber and kneeled, bowing deeply to her. "M'lady... I'm sorry to intrude in your personal time... there are unfortunate news... we have entered into war with the eastern nation of Kee. We, as you are aware of, have been struggling to come to terms with Kee and their ruler just seems bent on making our lives difficult." He said, his eyes still below her knees. His armor shined and clanked as he held his position. "Do not be alarmed... but... you have become a target... princess. Your men...I... we will protect you. We assure you."
