Hair pin

He stopped talking when he saw me behind Liam, "what are you doing with my brother? You liar and pretender" he said to me.

"I have warned you severely not to talk rudely at people Angus, have you lost your mind? !" Liam shouted at him.

"That doesn't matter now brother because she lied to you" he replied.

"What do you mean she lied to me?" Liam asked.

"She is the crown princess of Bradon !" Angus shouted.

All eyes shifted at me and I burst out laughing, "can you repeat what you just said?" I asked amidst laughter.

"Here is a hairpin I saw in her room" he replied raising a pink hairpin.

"It mine but that doesn't prove that I am the princess, wait so if I was the princess you think I would be here?" I asked.

"Well.." He stuttered.

"Give me that !" Liam took the hairpin from him.

"Now this would be the last thing you enter someone's room without their knowledge" he scolded him.

"I was the one that went into her room, she is the princess" Pip chipped in.

Liam ignored her, "promise me you won't enter her room again or insult her again"

"I promise not to enter her room or insult her again" Angus replied.

"Good, remember what you said when the time comes" Liam said and released him.

"And both of you" Liam said pointing at Angus and Pip.

"Leave Elena alone, if you trouble her again, I will deal with both of you" he added.

"Now everybody let's move" Liam ordered.

"Cheers to more stealings" Ace said and kissed Pip on the lips.

"What did I just see?" One of the member asked.

"You saw it right, we are now a couple" Ace announced.

The other members started congratulating them including Liam and of course me too.

"Let's go folk when we come back, we will continue with the congratulations" Liam said and we started moving.

"Brother can I stay back, I am feeling a little unwell" Angus said.

"How are you feeling?" Liam asked and felt his forehead.

"You are slightly hot, ok stay here and rest, if you get any better check the plants in my hut for me" Liam said to me.

"Thanks brother" Angus said and went to his hut.

I looked at him walking towards his hut till he entered inside.

I noticed that his demeanor changed when Ace kissed Pip.

"Did he perhaps like Pip?" I thought.

"Elena" Liam called and I turned to see that they are now ahead of me so I started following them.

"Are we going to the same place we went before?" I asked when I caught up with them.

"Yes but we won't hide in the same place we did before" Liam replied.

"Where we we hiding?" I asked.

"The opposite side" he replied.

We kept walking till we arrived at the stream, "are you entering or should I carry you like last time? Liam asked.

"I am entering" I replied and went into the stream and started walking through it.

The others followed and we all crossed it to the other side.

"Elena please you have to rub this mud on your face because the place we will be hiding today has less vegetation than the one we his before" Liam said coming towards me with the mud on his hands.

"No not the green mud" I said watching as he approaches me with the mud.

"We don't have any choice, we all have to rub it" Liam said.

"Fine, but you will be taking me to that magical stream after we are done" I said.

"I will take you there, don't worry" he promised.

I used my hand to collect the mud from him to started rubbing it on my body which are exposed.

"You are going to pay me for rubbing this stinking mud" I said to him.

"I will definitely do that" he promised.

After we were all done applying the mud, we continued with our journey until we arrived at that place we hid before and Liam said "we will not be hiding here today, we will hide at the other side".

"So we are going to cross to other side and hide?" I asked.

"Yes Elena, that is what I just said" he replied.

"A simple "yes" would have been fine than that" I said.

"Sorry I was tensed" he apologized.

"Fine let us just get on with this" I said.

"Let's go" he said and we all came out of the forest and crossed the road, and entered to the other side of the forest.

Liam showed us where we are going to hide while we wait for a prey.

We waited for a very long time before we heard the sound of a carrriage coming.

"Everyone get ready, a prey is coming" Liam whispered.

We all waited for the carriage to come closer so that we can strike, immediately it got closer we came out of the forest and surrounded the carriage.

The driver was captured with you occupants of the carriage and we search thoroughly for anything of value with them.

When we were done, we left them there and retreated back into the forest.

We went back to that stream where we washed out the green mud from our body and continued our journey home.

"Spar with me Lady Elena" a guy named Cody said to me.

We have arrived at the settlement and was resting.

"Maybe some other time" I replied.

"You have no shame to want to spar with a woman" Liam said to him.

"Don't pretend Liam, I know deep down inside you, you also want to spar with her" Cody said.

"I will not lie, her fighting skills are very impressive but I never wanted to spar with her" Liam replied.

"Ok but Lady Elena, how did you learn to fight like that?" Cody asked.

"I didn't learn it, I was born with it. It was my destiny" I replied.
