Chapter 8 Getting to know the princess 1 (2/2)

”As a knight with virtues to uphold, I believe what is in the heart is the most important for a person.” He smiled. ”So princess, I want to see what your heart holds.”

I was taken aback with his words. This is the first time I have met a person that didn't look at the power and richness a person have but what is within. The people around me such as maids, butlers, stewards and the likes had always been indifferent to me. Maybe because they know I was a neglected princess not loved by the king.

But Leon was different. I was happy to have a personal knight that looked at who I was and not what I have.

”Thank you sir Leon.” I said gratefully. ”I would like to know you better as well.”

”Umm Tricia.” I called one of my personal maids.

”Yes princess.” Tricia bowed down.

Tricia was a fifteen-year old maid. She was presented to me by grandpa Robert when he saw that my old maids were neglecting me. She had been by my side for the past two years.

”Can you please show sir Leon to his quarters?” I asked.

”Of course princess.” Tricia bowed. ”Sir Leon, right this way please.”

”Thank you.” Leons said. ”Princess I will take my leave.”

”Good night sir Leon.” I said.

”Good night princess Alicia.” Leon said.
