The Forgotten Princess

The next few days were eventless.
My daily routine was the same.
In the morning I have my studies, in the afternoon it was physical training.

I have just finished my breakfast when Leon entered the dining hall.

”Good morning princess Alicia. ” Leon bowed slightly.

”Good morning sir Leon. ” I answered.
”I will in the classroom shortly. ”

”That won’t be necessary. ” Leon smiled.

”Won’t be necessary? ” I looked at him confused.
”And why is that? ” I asked.

”Because we will be going out of town. ” Leon’s smile widened.

”Going out of town? ” I asked in disbelief.
”But I can’t go out without permission. ”

Thinking of going out to town excites me.
But I do not want to get my hopes up because stepmother won’t approve of it.

”Why are you frowning? ” Leon asked.
He slowly approached me and cupped up my chin.
”Smile.
You are the most beautiful when you smile. ”

”Beautiful? ” I felt my face become hot.
I might be blushing again.

Leon smiled at me with amusement.

”Don’t worry.
Your grandpa gave me permission to take you to town.
I have told Tricia to prepare you commoners clothes. ” Leon said.
”We will be going to town incognito.
There will be a festival today.
And tonight there would be fireworks. ”

”Fireworks! ” I said excitedly.

”Yes, fireworks. ” Leon gave me a bright smile.
”Go to your room and prepare. ” He patted my head.

”I will, right away. ” I said.
I stood up excitedly a walked out the dining room towards my room.

I am now wearing commoner’s clothes.
I am wearing a light blue dress and a light blue scarf on my head.
My hair was tied in a ponytail.

”Are you ready? ” Leon said.
He was also wearing commoner’s clothes.
His shirt was color dark gray and his pants were black.

”Yes I am. ” I looked at him with excited eyes.

Leon stood in front of me and caressed my cheek.
”Clothes can’t mask your beauty princess. ”

I feel a blush creep on my cheeks again.

”T-Thanks. ” I replied shyly.

”Ahem! ” I hear grandpa’s voice behind me.
”I can see that the two of you are now prepared. ”

”Yes grandpa.
I am excited to go to town.
It has been a while since I have gone out the palace. ” I smiled at him.

”It looks like you really are excited, haha. ” Grandpa patted my head.
”This is the first time I saw you smile like that. ”

”Really? ” I said.
I know that I seldom smile.
But this last few days I just feel that my life is turning for the better.

”You and Leon will pose as siblings. ” Grandpa said.
”Leon, guard my granddaughter well. ”

”Do not worry general Robert. ” Leon said.
”She is in my capable hands. ”

”That hands are what I am afraid of. ” Grandpa murmured to himself.

”I beg your pardon general.
Did you say something? ” Leon asked.

”Oh no, no.
I didn’t say anything.
Haha. ” Grandpa lied.

’Meow’

Snow was rubbing her body on my feet.

”Oh Snow. ” I picked her up.
”I’m sorry, I can’t take you with me. ”

’Meow’

Her meow was like she was sad that she can’t come.

”Aww I’m sorry. ” I hugged her.
”Do not worry, I am sure to take home some treat for you from the festival. ”

’Meow’ snow rubbed herself on my face.

”Haha I know, I know.
You are welcome. ” I said.
It was as if I can understand every bit of Snow’s action.

”Well now the sun is up in the sky.
Let us go little sister. ” Leon offered his arm.

”Okay big brother. ” I take his arm and smiled at him.

”Remember to take her home once the fireworks are done. ” Grandpa said.

Leon said the fireworks will be lit at seven in the evening.
It was still early to go home but I won’t object.
Just by going outside gives me great joy, even if it is only for a while.

”Do not worry general. ” Leon said.
”I will bring her back in one piece. ”

”See you later grandpa and thank you. ” I have him a peck on his cheek and smiled at him.
”Good bye. ” I waved my hand.

Leon and I walked away.
Grandpa looked at us in a daze.

”This was the first time Alicia gave me a kiss. ” Grandpa said.
”Hahaha, that’s goo.
She is starting to move like her age.
Not the old her that is only silent and doesn’t smile. ”

He smiled at the retreating figure of us.
