CHAPTER 5

Three years ago...

"bye.!! See you tomorrow.",i looked at Philip as I got up on rafa and he helped me hope on.

"ya, about that..",he paused."i cant ,I'm going out of town, grandpa is taking me somewhere."

"oh!!".i paused ,looking the other side. "when will you be back."

"I'm not sure, it might take sometime."

"sometime in sense..??".i questioned him sternly.

"few days i guess..!!",he said rubbing his hand to the back of his neck.

"ok ,I have to go I guess."i said hushing rafa to move and turned to look at his face, those mesmerising green eyes.

i ddint wan to leave but had to ,unwillingly i turned my face ..

"wait..julia..".

"what..??"i snapped.

he looked shooked for a moment and tried to hid it,"i'll be bace soon."he look straight into my eyes,"very soon."those green eyes..!!!

i smiled at him and rode away without turning back.

I  tied rafa in the stables and waked slowly into the castle, does that mean i wont see him.

I mean it's only for few days, it's not like he's gone forever but who cares...!!!

Philip... What is he to me..??

My friend, am i only a friend to him also..???. I do have other's whom i talk too, like shavron but not with as must as enthusiasm i put into with Philip.

"oww..!!",lost in thought i banged my head unto something or someone ,as i lifted my head..

"well what do we have here....".

"general Armstrong.!!".OMG..!!! I going to get caught for sure this time.

"what brings her highness to the eastern gates..??".

I was so screwed.my heartbeat started to race, what will happen if mother gets to know .??

I wipe my hand over my forehead to clear of the sweat and dirt.

"calm down ,calm!!",he stared to laugh ,"your father sent me here to look for you , he said that you will be with rafa. "papa to the rescue...

"ya..i was.." .maybe i should just shut up..

"well your my mother is furious that your making the guests wait, i think you must hurry."

"ya right ,i must ..",i started walking into the back main entrance to the dinning room.

"your highness....",i turned to look at him ,"are you going in to meet them like that."

"well ..",i did look hideous i guess ,"no problem, i think dusting it up would be fine.",i bent around and dusted my self up and the gown and look at the general.

"well what do u think..??".i asked.

"well...umm .?".he became silent.

"where is Shavron..??",i asked to break his silence ."it's been long since i saw him last time. what is he up to these day.??".

"well your highness... he is on duty ."he said looking straight ahead.

"duty , where ?? Why didn't he tell me.!!".

Shavron was my best bud, from childhood but in recent years we grew a bit distant .we do meet up and talk but rarely. We were inseparable at point in our lives. He is my pillar of support just like how general Armstrong was to father. We dreamt the future of our kingdom together .
