Purse

She thought that I am meeting her on my every day-off and she asks me if I am dating her but she did not believe me that it just a coincidence that we meet. She even insisted that I was lying to her so our conversation repeatedly over and it was good that her father called her so we did not argue until the morning. So on my next day-off, I did not go out anymore because she might follow me. So, I did not ask her about Ian since he accompanied the Prince somewhere and they did not issue where did they go 1 year ago. I've got no news about him since then, I am thinking if he's okay or how is he.

Also, I lost contact with Chef Lex in my village 2 years ago, I want to go there but I can't leave because they know I have nothing to go back to and I can't say that visiting the libraries because she accompanies me when we go to the capital to fulfill her promise to me. So I did not know if the restaurant and staff there were okay. I hope Ian did not change for the past 3 years where I can bully him such as teasing him with his crush when we were little. Remembering the past makes me smile.

"Who is the lucky girl? Is the girl you've been meeting the past 2 weeks?" She said to me while going closer to me. Damn. why does she not forget that? It's been 2 weeks since I didn't go outside the mansion for her to stop thinking that I like the girl.

" Just remembering good memories. It's not a girl, okay." I answered her but she seems to doubt it.

"Really? HAHAHHA I thought you were remembering the sweet moment where you hugging her in the middle of the town," she said

"I did not have a choice to hug her because she was about to fall and that is not a sweet moment Lady Miary. Stop making stories." I told her but she just answered

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" before she stops teasing me that's why I can't win to her. We are on the training ground now because the new knights will be having a training. Lady Miary and I were appointed to handle these though the vice commander handles this when we are outside and if I have things to do since I am still the knight appointed to escort the Lady of Collins. A troublesome Lady of the Collins thought she knows when to get serious but mostly she was like a child. -.- It's like I am taking care of a special child.

After the training, we are going to the palace to replace the Duke because the Duke is not feeling well and she doesn't have a choice to attend since it is mandated to attend the meeting. So, I will be escorting her to the palace and a chance to gather information about Ian and the crowned prince was about. I waited for Lady Miary outside the mansion with the carriage that we will use.

After an hour before she comes out and I was really annoyed because she takes an hour to prepare herself. We only have 2 hours before the meeting will start. I told her to come fast because we are running out of time but she just answered it's okay. So I got a facepalm in no time at her answer. I did nothing but help her get into the carriage in a dress because she is now so her movements are feminine. If I know she was always ready to take a fight anytime.

After 50 minutes of travel, we arrived at the capital town but still need to take 20 minutes to the palace. We drop by in the town to eat and take a rest before going to the palace. We ate first before we looked around when suddenly Lady Miary runs away as if she was chasing someone so I immediately followed her. She is not really going to behave because in just a few seconds when you are not looking at her in a moment and there is a problem immediately. And we have to leave because it will only start in 30 minutes.

She runs into a narrow place while holding her dress. I was amazed by her because she can still run even wearing a dress and heels. I call her but she ignores my call so I just run fast to catch up with her. At last, I managed to hold her hands and stopped her from running.

"Hey!! Stop. Why are you running? Who are you chasing?" I told her while grasping my breath.

" My purse! He stole my purse!" She said then at the same time she removed my hand from her. I quickly grabbed her.

"Lady Miary forget your purse. We need to go to the meeting will start anytime." I said while pulling her going back to the carriage.

"No! My purse." She said while holding her tears. "I'll buy you another purse so let's go!" I told her. " No! That was my favorite purse that I bought from the south and that was only the one." She said as she wiped away the tears. Hays. Am I a knight or a babysitter?? Now I am thinking if I should resign now as a knight of Lady Miary since she can defend herself self and she is a knight herself. She doesn't need an escort.

"No, I will retrieve my purse," she said while struggling to free herself from my hands.

"Lady Miary! You can buy a purse in the town if you want to." I told her but she looked down while covering her face. So I felt guilty but I doubted her because she might do something again. I didn't have a choice since she's sobbing.

"Okay. I will buy you a purse from the south, so let's go to attend the meeting in the palace." I said so she suddenly stopped and looked at me.

"You will buy me a purse the same design and it should be from the south?" She asks me seriously

" Yes so let's go already," I said but I regretting it right away since I am making my own problem.

"You promised me, okay!" She said while grabbing to go back to the carriage.

We took another ride and headed for the palace.

"Good to see you again Lady Miary------"

"You are----?"
