(#39) At the Lion's Palace, Again.

Great, just great.

I can't believe that I am walking through this same path again.

I am literally running through the Palace.

And I really hope that no person stops me this time.

"Hey, hey, hey. Lady, stop running." I heard a man shouting.

Great... just great. AGAIN!

I just had to tell it then.

Yeah, you just had to tell it then. My I.C told me.

You... you keep quiet.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Deal with the problem ahead first. My I.C told me.

And I don't need to your instruction for that. I shot back.

Lady, are you talking back to your own self? Childish!

"Lady, walk with gracefulness." The man who stopped me said.

"For your information, King Adelouis called me, telling me that there is something important." I said.

"Wha-what? I mean, you are lying." He said, stuttering.

"And if I am not?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Because then, you will be delaying the King's guest." I said and he gulped hard.

"Of course. You can only enter in here with a permit. And that permit will only be written by the King. I will be surprised, if you are not coming for the King." The man said.

"So, you are taking back the words you told before?" I asked.

"You-you." He didn't get any words to tell.

"Last thing. I am Lionel's daughter." I said.

"Lionel? Which Lionel?" That man asked.

"How many Lionels do you know?" I asked, turning.

"Oh God!" I heard the man exclaiming as I walked away.

I then entered the garden. One has to go through the Imperial garden, to get to the King's office.

"Hi-yya!" I heard a loud voice, and then my body went, BAM!

Numb.

Numb, from the hit.

Numb, from the hit I got from the wooden sword.

Numb, from the hit I got from the wooden sword, which was wield by Amsters.

Numb, from the hit I got from the wooden sword, which was wield by Amsters, who were known as monsters for their enormous strength.

And I am still happy that I am alive from their hit.

Oh Goodness! Said one. Well, as far as I know, since I am not dead, God won't come to me.

Did that just happen?! Another. Are you people blind?

What is she going to do? Another. Wait for your help, duh.

Ah, of course, no one will come to the grounds where Amsters are fighting, that is, unless they have a death wish.

"What is happening here?" I heard a familiar voice roaring.

"Greeting to the sun of the Empire, Your Highness." That Amster kid stood on his knees.

His Highness! Shit! I can barely move. How can I pay my respects in this state?

"What happened to Lady Aesther?" The king's fury was unimaginable.

"Miss Aesther? Oh, it was her? Seems like all the new rumors I heard about were indeed complete lies. She is still ignorant and thinking that the whole world belongs to her." Amster said.

You hit a lady and not apologize but criticize? Great! Just Great.

"And now, it got her dead." He said.

Dead! How, in the name of Poseidon, am I dead?

Seems like it is time for me to show my strength.

"I am... uh... really... sorry..., for make... goodness! I mean... ah... lack of manners... your Highness." I said.

"It is alright, it is alright. Someone! Come and help Lady Aesther." The King yelled and many maids and servants came forward.

They helped me stand in front of the King.

"You... you are still alive?!" Amster kid was shocked.

"Your Highness, please excuse my language or some time." I said.

"Permitted." The King said.

I then turned to the Amster kid.

"First of all, when you hit a lady, you apologize. Not criticize. Goodness, are you only monsters in strength, or monsters in etiquettes too?

And second, hearing what you are saying, it was indeed your intention to hurt me. Am I right?" I asked.

"Whoa, so you really did change?" He asked, surprised.

"Kid!!!-" But my speech war interrupted by a loud screech, which can only be given by Maylene.

I could always withstand the vibration, but now because of my weak state I fell down.

"Ana! Are you alright?" She asked, looking concerned.

"Why shouldn't I be alright?" I asked. "Young Master Amster hit you with his sword. How can you be alright?" She asked.

"How did you know that I was hit?" I asked.

"Th-that, the maids. Yes, them. They told." She said.

"Really? The situation just happened right now. News travels really fast in the Lion Palace, even though gossiping is forbidden." I said, shaking my head.

"Y-yeah. I-I know r-right." She said, stuttering.

"Whatever. Old Han. Call the Imperial Doctor to my office. Maids. Help Lady Aesther to my office." King Adelouis said and left.

"Maylene, I am in a hurry right now. We will talk later." I said.

"I understand." Maylene said with a shaken face.

"Then, we shall take you to the office, Lady Aesther." One of the maids said and I nodded.

They helped me get to His Highness's office.

When I got there, the Imperial Doctor was already present.

"Lady Aesther, please lay here." The Doctor guided me towards a sofa.

"Thank You." I said.

"Never thought I will be treating the young doctor, herself." The Doctor said.

"Doctor, instead of buttering me up, try to find a cure for this." I said and he started laughing.

As the doctor started, the door banged open.

And there stood, a heavily panting, Sir Lin.

"Your Highness, I apologize for my impolite manner. I was just-" The King cut him off.

"I understand." The King said and nodded.

"Lin... Sir Lin?" I asked, trying to get up.

"You lay down." He said, hurrying over to me and pushing me down to the bed.

"Ah..!" I winced a little.

"I am sorry." He said, apologizing quickly.

"It is alright. You didn't mean to." I said, trying to smile.

"Lady Aesther, I can prescribe a tonic for you. You will have to apply it on the injured part of your body." The Doctor said and I nodded.

"And don't do any strenuous activities during this period." The Doctors said.

"Will be careful." I said and the Doctor nodded.

He then got up. "I shall be taking my leave then, Your Highness." The Doctor said and exit.

"I am really sorry for bothering you, Your Highness." I said, sitting up on the coach.

"It is alright. We will now get to the matters." King Adelouis said.
