Additional Dowry

The guard who had gone inside and asked the Butler if to open door and let the new bride to enter the mansion came out. He was nervous and swearing profoundly.

He came and stood at his place while looking pale. He did not know how to tell them what the Butler had told him. He would surely he knew it.

The maid controlling her anger came to the guard and looked directly into his eyes. With a calm face she asked him.

" Are you gonma open or not?" She asked.

" I apologise but the second prince mansion follows a schedule and according to it, at this time three gates are too be closed. These will be opened in tomorrow morning. No one can enter without permission from his highness." He said. He was shivering when he saw that the look that the maid had given him.

Before anything further could happen between them another twinkle was heard. The maid turned around and went to the bride who was sitting quitely in the sedan chair.

She came out from the chair after some time. She headed towards the guard who had kind of fallen for her at first glance.

" Can you help me with something?" She said in a sweet voice.

" Ah- Y-Yes , I can." He was flushed to heae such a sweet voice.

" Can you tell the Butler that there is a dowry thing with us. It is quite precious of gold. He must take it in. What will happen if anyone knows that the gold dowry is stolen from the Prince's mansion. It is an extra gift given to the his highness, the second prince." She said it in a low voice.

The guard was of course smart if he was chosen to work at the prince's mansion. How could he not? Did he want to leave his well paid income.

He understood that the if such a precious thing is kept outside then it would be vulnerable to theft, so it should be kept safe. There was only the princess and the maid even no bodyguards had come with her so she was weak to protect it. And for God's sake it got stolen than it would not that princess would be insulted but the prince as it belonged to the him.

He immidiately nodded and headed inside through the small door for the servants. He found the Butler.

" If you are coming for the princess outside, you can return. The mansion gates will not be opened for anyone." He said with an angry look, frightening the guard.

" No, I am here to about the extra dowry. " The man said with respect. (Of course he's had to give this old geezer respect or else he would fire him. )

" Extra dowry ... what are you saying?" He picked an eyebrow. 'Everything that was included in dowry is know to me but I have not gotten any news about it.'

" They told me that thy have an additional dowry thing which is a treasure. It can not be kept out as it is prone to theft so they told me to call you."

"Oh, are you sure there is really something or they are just fooling us? We can't trust Yan people."

He hesitated. He was not sure about it but he could tell from the expression of the girl and from his bottom point of the heart that the girl must not be lying to him. He decided to believe her.

" Yes" He said in a firm tone. He could not loose the chance given to him to impress the beautiful girl. He did not believe that every Yan was decieving.

" Okay. Head towards the place." The Butler moved and headed towards the mansion main gate, leaving his work of sorting the papers in his study.

They came out and saw the girl and the sedan chair. Some people had left to prevent the trouble but more people came to see the free show.

The guard stood at his place while the Butler went to that veiled maid.

" This servant pays respect to the Butler." She bowed. How much proud she could be but she had to pay her respects to this old man for a day as she was going to keep a check on her.

Watching a Yan giving him respect made him feel smug. ' Humph! Lowly Yans'

"This is only for today that you are getting my respect , old ugly duckling. From tomorrow you are gonna give me respect. Watch that smud smile in you, it will get you in trouble.Humph." The girl mumbled.

" Do you say anything?" He asked.

But before he could get a reply a figure came out of the sedan chair. It was slim and tall.

She stood behind the girl and observed her surroundings. She moved forward till she was facing the Butler.

As the veiled woman came out. Everyone was once again dazed. There all the focus was on her. They prayed the wind to blow and lift the veil so that they could have a look at her.

But before this could happen a domineering aura invited them and they could not help but shrink. They all fell on their knees. Those who did not were hit by something and fel on the knees in pain. Then a commanding voice was heard.

"Kneel"
