Changing destiny ' White Rose '
CHAPTER 13
Today is my first day studying martial arts, it will probably be very hard for me because it is the first time in 2 of my life to learn martial skills . I was so nervous that I could not sleep well, the servants who helped me get ready were also worried let alone seeing the dark circles around my eyes . I smiled soothingly and said 'it's okay, ' I honestly didn't know this body could survive or not with physical training because in the original novel Clea's body was very, very weak, let alone to learn martial arts even exposed to the slightest wind he will fall . But after I moved into this body, I felt that his physique had improved a lot and was never sick again .
" Daughter, Young Master Albelart came and was waiting under " said Chacha who entered the room
" Ehm, I know "I said while nodding
I wear a typical martial uniform today, a white shirt with comfortable trousers on it with a black belt wrapped around my small waist, not to forget the high black leather boots, my hair in a high ponytail with a simple white ribbon . I put on a black fur robe and went down to the lower living room . Seen from the top of the stairs, Albert was sitting on the sofa drinking tea served by the waiter, he was wearing a uniform martial color entirely black . He looks indifferent, cold and indifferent to anything, his character is very haughty and arrogant clearly looks very in accordance with the character of the upper class aristocrats .
My footsteps echoed all over because of these leather boots, Albert looked up to see me coming down the stairs, a slight smile reflected on his face when he saw me . I replied by throwing my sweet smile, then running up to him and hugging him, Albert wrapped his arms around my waist back . The servants who saw the situation, immediately left us .
" You really came ?? " ask me flirting
" Of course, didn't I say it yesterday or the Princess didn't like me coming ?? " she said with a seductive smile
" Of course not, I miss you so much "I said grabbing her shoulder and on tiptoes kissing her cheek
Albert was stunned for a moment, then stroked the top of my head back .
" Let's go "he said
" Ehm "I said nod .
We walked while holding hands towards the Martial Square, the soldiers and palace servants on guard immediately stopped saluting me .
" Hey Albert, how do you think I look in this shirt ? " let me wonder
" Beautiful as always "he said straightforwardly
" Hehehe "I giggled in response, Albert was a little surprised and turned to make an expression 'why ?? '
I immediately stopped laughing and quickly said "It's okay " .
We arrived at the martial field, seen in the distance stood Captain Molly with 2 soldiers, he said, Captain Molly was the only female warrior captain in the palace but that fact showed no difference in her attitude to the other Captains . We also walked towards the middle of the field, Captain Molly who saw me immediately kneeled saluting the soldiers .
" Greetings from us to the glory of Her Highness Princess Clea" he said along with 2 soldiers while kneeling down his head .
" Arise Captain Molly, please help her to the front "I said kindly
Captain Molly immediately got up and went straight to the point of "His Royal Highness the Princess, I'm the one who will teach you horse riding and archery because the current weak body of Her Highness the Princess is not suitable for swordsmanship" he said straightforwardly
Albert was a little dislikeful of his blunt demeanor impressed very disrespectful . I see Albert will say something immediately in a hurry to interrupt .
" I'll follow Captain Molly's arrangements
Captain Molly who heard me agreed to agree to her arrangement immediately, immediately her expression softened . At first Captain Molly did not like it when His Majesty the King ordered him to teach Her Majesty Princess Clea martial arts, Captain Molly was a little reluctant by the decision of His Majesty the King but could not turn it down he finally agreed by force .
Who in the palace did not know if Princess Clea had a weak and fragile body and was used to being pampered by everyone, he was worried that Princess Clea would whine and stubbornly disagree with her arrangements . But he had not expected Her Highness the Princess to agree directly to her arrangement without questioning in the slightest .
" Then Your Highness the Princess, we will start by riding first" said Captain Molly gesturing to a soldier to take the horse in preparation
From a distance saw 5 horses pulled by the soldier, my eyes sparkled to see the striking appearance of a beautiful white horse in the middle of another dashing black horse .
" Brake !!! " please be pleased
Blake was brought in front of me by the soldier, I immediately let go of my hand with Albert and approached Blake and stroked his blonde mane . Albert was stunned a little when I took off our hand link just like that but then he smiled gently at me .
" Did the Princess ever ride a horse ?? " ask Captain Molly curious, for not expecting I already have my own horse .
" Sometimes Albert would take me riding around the palace" I said directly
Captain Molly slightly glanced at Albert but did not say anything, "That's when let's learn to ride a horse first, Her Royal Highness the Princess please ride" Captain Molly said
Albert had already moved forward to lift me up on the horse, Captain Molly immediately frowned unhappily 'What's the point of learning if riding a horse alone will be in a carry, isn't this nothing ? it's a waste of my time' his mind . But before Albert could reach my waist, I immediately began to run away .
" Albert I want to learn, so don't help me just look "I said with a frown
Captain Molly and Albert were stunned at the same time when I heard my voice .
" But" said Albert trying to persuade, but before he finished speaking, I interrupted him immediately
" I certainly can, believe me "I said smiling convincingly
" Huh.. okay . Then I'll see you ride first, go up "he said gently
Captain Molly who heard our interaction wanted to roll her eyeballs fed up, but she didn't dare to do so . ' Isn't it just horse riding, why make things into something that sounds romantic' her inner self . I didn't care what Captain Molly had in mind because it was obvious from her facial expression that she couldn't control .
I stepped on the pedal with my left foot holding on to the saddle and then jumped on top of the tall Blake, I had a little trouble sitting on a horse because my jumping power did not quite end up with a slight creeping on a horse's back . After sitting stably on the horse I sighed and turned to look at those who were dumbfounded looking at me .
" Ahem, make you see the joke" I said in embarrassment
Albert smiled, Captain Molly immediately cleared her throat eliminating the awkwardness, the 2 soldiers immediately lowered their heads as if seeing nothing .
" It's okay it's the first time next it's definitely going to be better" said Captain Molly trying to cheer awkwardly .
Finally the four of them immediately jumped up and rode the horse easily, now Albert is on my right side and Captain Molly is on my left side while 2 soldiers are behind us .
" Daughter Clea I will show you how to command a horse" said Captain Molly from the left, I immediately turned my head and noticed .
" You have to hold the reins firmly like this, when you want the horse to move forward pat the pedals gently on the horse's belly using your legs while exclaiming 'hiya ' " said Captain Molly while demonstrating his words
" If you want to order the horse to turn then pull the reins in the direction you want" said Captain Molly while demonstrating again a right turn
I immediately followed his direction and turned right then Captain Molly tried to turn left and I followed him immediately . My facial expression was seriously paying attention to every direction, Captain Molly was a little happy to see me who was very serious and obedient in teaching .
" If you want the horse to stop then pull the reins pulled back slowly" he said from the left side and stopped . I immediately pulled the reins of my horse back slowly, and Blake stopped .
" Then Her Highness the Princess let's try to go a little fast on the tarmac" said Captain Molly as he passed down the tarmac to the tarmac below . I immediately spurred Blake to follow behind him, and when going down the stairs to the horse runway I hesitated but Albert on the right immediately followed forward and showed me the way .
" Take the harness a little bit and trail the horse's belly with the pedals slowly" Albert said
I followed Albert's directions, and managed to get down slowly . I felt a little scared but also very enthusiastic, I got to Albert's side and smiled sweetly at him . Albert responded with a seductive smile and stroked the top of my head .
" His Highness the Princess, let's try to go a little fast" said Captain Molly interrupting our interaction, I immediately moved Blake to the side of Captain Molly . Albert's expression immediately darkened when interrupted and left behind, he stared intently at Captain Molly but the Captain did not notice him in the slightest . Finally Albert just followed next to me again with an upset heart .
" If you want the horse to move faster, then the pedal tracks harder, then hit the harness and call out 'hiya'" said Captain Molly demonstrated and drove a little fast forward
I followed what was ordered and repeated it . Tracing the pedal a little strongly then jerking the bridle exclaiming 'hiya' Blake immediately ran a little fast, making me surprised and shrieked softly and immediately became calm and stabilized my seat . Albert immediately came anxiously to my side because of my screeches .
" Daughter, are you okay ?? " he asked anxiously .
I had calmed down and stabilized my seat on Blake who was running slowly, smiling and yelling at Albert at the side
" it's okay to just be surprised a little "I said without turning my head, really I don't dare to turn away from the track right now . I saw Captain Molly in front glancing at me as I screamed, but after making sure I was okay he kept driving back forward leading the way .
" Follow me" said Captain Molly adding to his speed .
I followed Blake's pace with Albert slightly behind and 2 soldiers following . With 'hiya' Captain Molly increasing speed again, now the horse is running fast in the lane and I also increase the speed to follow . My body shook over the speeding Blake, I tried to stabilize it by leaning forward . Blake ran fast, I was a little scared because it was my first time riding alone . But I smiled happily as the wind blew past me, like I felt free . I also drove Blake even faster following Captain Molly in front, we ran around the track up to 7 times when Captain Molly exclaimed beside me
" His Majesty is enough, pull the reins slowly until tight then the horse will stop "screaming .
I followed her direction and pulled the reins of Blake slowly . I was a little shaken forward when Blake stopped suddenly . Then get up to fix my sitting position .
" His Highness the Princess is about time for lunch" said Captain Molly, leading her horse to me
I pitched into the sky, saw the weather was quite hot a sign it was noon .
" Then let's have lunch with Captain Molly" I said to her
Captain Molly nodded in agreement to my invitation, she lightly tracked the pedal with one leg and then jumped down smoothly . I who saw him coming down easily from the horse started to think 'why if I saw someone else doing it looks so easy ' ', I also turned my head down and was surprised to see a fairly high distance . Albert who saw me afraid to go down by himself immediately jumped down from his horse and walked towards me, Albert stood beside Blake and extended his hand .
" Daughter, if you are afraid then I will carry the Princess down "he said smiling soothingly as he extended his hand .
I was eager to grab that hand but, "I want to learn to go down by myself, but why look tall "I said softly while embarrassed
" Then I'll wait for you at the side so that the Princess doesn't fall down" he said shifting to the side giving me space
Captain Molly who saw our interaction, immediately looked away as if she did not see or hear anything because if she kept seeing then there was a possibility the swearing would escape her mouth .
I set my left foot on the pedal of the horse, held tightly to the saddle and jumped lightly off the horse . I staggered slightly out of balance when my legs were on the ground but Albert's strong arms immediately pumped my shoulders from falling, Albert helping me to stand steady . I smiled 'thank you' to her, I tried to stand up but somehow my legs were shaking, I felt so embarrassed and could only lower my reddened face .
' Damn !!! even after a sports night with my date my feet never trembled like now, what the hell is this ??? it's so embarrassing ' my inner curse
" It's okay, this is because the first time the Princess rode a horse " whispered Albert quietly while jumping beside me
" Ride the Princess, I will carry you" said Albert, kneeling as a soldier with his back to me
I was never shy and awkward, there were people offering to carry when I was tired and I would gladly accept it . I climbed onto Albert's back, wrapped my arms around his neck from behind, I saw his ears flushed .
We walked in the lead by Captain Molly towards the special break room inside the training area . When I got there, Alice and Deenna and some of my court servants were waiting at the door with some boxes of food and personal supplies . Deenna who saw me being carried by Albert immediately came towards me in a hurry .
" Daughter .. " said Deenna disconnected
" It's okay, my legs are just shaking from the first time riding" I said with a shy smile
" Hah .. thank goodness " said Deenna sighing in relief
" Come in, serve the food . We're all hungry "my orders are still on Albert's back
" Well, " replied Deenna, and then told the servants to come in, and start arranging the food .
We also went into a rest room that was not too large consisting of 3 rooms, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room . We sat in the living room arranged by the waiters into a dining table, the dishes served one by one on a small living table . This lunch meal consists of many delicious meat preparations, perhaps adjusted to add to my stamina .
" Well, what a sumptuous and delicious dish" Captain Molly said bluntly.
" Captain Molly is too much please enjoy, please Captain Molly do not be offended by my simple banquet" I said with a polite smile
" No this is really good, then I will not hesitate again Her Royal Highness the Princess" Captain Molly said straightforwardly
I chuckled, and started lunch slowly . We ate so well that we finished all the dishes that were served, Albert glanced at me and I coughed awkwardly for not realizing I was eating so much and also normally I would curb myself according to the ethics of the royal family . I began to make excuses to avoid this embarrassing situation by pretending to change my clothes, Deenna and Alice immediately followed behind me with my personal gear towards the bedroom next to the living room .
I went in and had Deenna change into a new set of clothes because this one was already uncomfortable from sweating earlier . I sat down soaking my feet in warm water, letting Deenna and Alice wipe my hands and face with a warm towel then dressed me up in an elegant set of black martial arts, dressing up and fixing my hairdo .
Finished changing clothes I went back to the living room . Captain Molly was sitting on a chair with her legs on the table, dirty dishes were cleaned by the servants immediately . On the other hand Albert lowered his gaze while sitting upright by crossing his elegant legs, turning his head towards me immediately as the corner of his eyes caught the figure of me walking out of the bedroom .
" Let's go back to training "I said with a smile
