The story of the Princess Of Clarines
Chapter 26
"Princess Shirayuki, you don't need to help me." Said a maid, looking at me while I was dusting off the rug.
"I want to help. I get bored just sittings in my room, and I don't have any lesson today." I said, looking back at that the maid."And After I get done here I was planning on going over to the herb building next," I said with a smile.
"Here let me carry that back inside, princess." The maid said, grab the rug from me and walked inside. "Thank you for helping me." She said, with a bow after she set the rug back down on the floor.
"You are very welcome," I said, waving at her before I walked out of the room. Well, I'm going to the greenhouse before I head to the herb building. I walked to the greenhouse and heard a sound behind a tree. "Who there?" I asked, looking at the direction where the sound was coming from.
A tall man steps out where he was hiding and looked at me. "It looked like you find me." He said thinking this was a game to him.
"Who are you?" I asked again. He let out a laugh.
"I'm not going to tell you my name. I here to get revenge against you and Zen for killing the woman I love." He said.
"GUARDS!" I yelled and three-guard come running up to me but by the time they approached the man was gone.
"What wrong, Princess Shirayuki." One of the guards.
"There was a man standing there," I said, pointing to the spot where the man was. "But now he was gone." I said.
"We will check the castle ground. Go to Zen and tell him what happens here." He said. I start to stroll away little shaking. One of the guards walked up beside me.
"I will walk you to Zen's office." He said. He opens the door to the castle and let me walked in first. We went up the staircase and to Zen's office. The guard knocks on the door.
"Come in," Zen yelled on the other side of the door. The guard opens the door, and we walked in. Zen looked up from his desk and saw me have my arm wrap around me. Zen narrow his eyes and looked up at the guard. Zen stand up and walked over to me. "You may leave." He said to the guard. After the guard left the room. I throw my arms around Zen neck and cry harder. He wraps his arms around me and whispers in my ears. "Shirayuki, what happens?" I did not say anything. Zen hold me tight in his arms and after a while. I told him everything about that man. "I'm sorry that I was not there with you. Obi will start following you around again."
"Okay," I said. Zen let go and walked over to the balcony and call for Obi to come here. He told obi everything I told him about the man. I saw Obi give a small nod telling Zen he understand. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Zen said, walked back in the room with Obi beside him. The door opens, and Mitsuhide walked in the room. "What is it?" Zen asked, looking at Mitsuhide.
"Zen, it times for the meeting." Obi answer, looking at Zen.
"Okay, Obi watch Shirayuki." He said, walking out of the room with Mitsuhide. Obi and I walked out of the room and head down the stairs.
"Where do you want to go until Zen is done with his meeting?" Obi asked, looking at me.
"Well, I was planning on going to help at the herb building today," I answer, walking out of the castle.
"Okay lets go." Obi said, walking to the herb building. Just then, I feel like someone was following us. I turn around and saw nothing behind his. "What wrong?" Obi asked, stop walked to look back at me.
"It nothing," I answer, starting to walk away. We finally got to the herb building and walked in.
"Oh Shirayuki what bring you here today?" Garrack asked, looking up from her desk. After I got engaged to Zen I have to stop work here but they say I can come and help out one in a while.
"I was planning to help out today cause I don't have lessons," I answer, looking at Garrack.
"Yeah, that will be great, Ryu will be happy that you helping us," Garrack said with a smile.
"Where is Ryu?" I asked, looking around.
"He is in the next room." Garrack answer.
"Okay, thank you," I said, bow my had and walked out of the room. I knock on the door before it enters the room. Ryu is sitting on the ground looking at some paper.
"Hi, Ryu," I said, waving at him. Ryu looked up and saw Obi and me.
"Oh, Shirayuki Hi." He said with a smile. I sat down on the ground and looked at the paper too.
"Do you need any help?" I asked.
"I'm done here anyway." He answers folds up his paper and put them away.
"Okay, I will be leaving then," I said, standing up. I was hoping to help them today. Obi and I walked out of the room and back to Zen's office.
