A Greeting

The guard gulped his saliva as he saw the woman clad in usual noble clothing. His hand wouldn't stop shaking as he recognized the soaked slender figure. (That's Princess Aelina!).

The princess noticed the guard's fear as her eyebrows raised. Looking at the young man beside him, she needed to think fast, lest her identity would be revealed.

Her right hand slowly raised with a shooing motion, hidden from Lyon's notice. However, the guard was not to keen on guessing even with a blatant cue.

Realizing this, the princess made a fake cough, to take control of the situation. "Guard, I think you should continue your patrol and fill your shift," said the princess with her head held high.

She got off from the fountain before facing the dumbfounded guard. "Well, what are you waiting for?" asked the princess as she put her hands on her waist.
