The Princess And The Demon

Facing the shaken looks of the frightened girl, Henry could not help but to think that that man hurted her some how, her body truly looked m.a.t.u.r.e and tempting but her face clearly revealed her young age and inexperience, William was not exactly a saint and he may have took advantage of the girl, this girl who reminded him very much of his sister Nara, something pure and weak, releived by the silent deny of the girl, he took few steps toward her trying to calm the little thing..

"I don't think we have met before, I'am Henry Yoren, and you are miss Sara right? "

"Y.. yes" Sara replied with a shaken voice, trying to hide her feelings under a shell of a decent young lady, she bowed with her eyes still fixed on the ground, she always thought of Henry to be her biggest enemy, the person wanting her and her father out of the way for some reason, but the person she is facing now feels nothing less than... than a big brother she thought to herself...

Unable to conceal her feelings any longer, tears started gathering in her eyes, so far she met both Nara and Henry, and they both seemed to be good people, people she wished to have in her life, maybe her father only shattered her away because she was an illegitimate child only, a disgrace to his shiny spotless life, what harm could bringing her with them would possibly do? even if not acknowledged, just to be close, could have been enough..

"Miss are you okay? what is it? if that man hurted or offended you in any way do not fear telling me, i will make sure he is probably punished" Henry estated feeling anger building up inside him, he didn't even know the girl but yet he feels something obliging him to protect her..

"No your Majesty, he didn't, forgive my manners, i just don't feel so well"

"Oh is that so? let me escort you to the infirmary than" said Henry thinking the girl is in pain..

"No no that won't be necessary your Majesty, there is no need to bother yourself with me.. "

"Are you here alone miss? where is your family?"

This question took Sara by surprise, the comfort she felt moments ago vanished in a blink of an eye leaving a sharp abdominal pain in it place? what can she say? her family is standing right in front of her? or just say she is here with a strange man who disappeared suddenly leaving her behind, thinking back about Eren, he must be so worried if he came back and didn't find her, deciding to be both honest and liar she replied "My family were not invited your Majesty, we are nothing but a small family in the north, but we are here as guests for the Salvatore family, and i am escorting my fiance"

"Oh is that so, well congratulations miss, Leonard is a good man, not to mention lucky indeed, i wish you happiness " Henry estated hiding a sting of worry in his heart, while Sara wondered if she should rectify his mistake by telling him that it was Eren and not his elder brother Leonard she meant, deciding to drop it and go back to look for Eren, she bowed to excuse herself before hearing Henry's next words...

"Miss Sara, i may not have the right to tell you this but please be careful, you are not a bad person i can see it clearly in your eyes, but you trust people easily, and that can be dangerous in our world, the Salvatores are good people, very good actually, but the unfortunate tragedy that took place in the past still have it shadows cast on them, i am not telling you this to frighten you, but i would wish for you to be more careful.."

Not knowing what to say nor what did this man just told her, Sara gave him a puzzled look? what did he mean by that? what tragedy? Eren never told her about such a thing, what in the hell is happening around her?

And right when she thought the surprises of the day ended, came a feminine voice next to them, Sara looked at the lady in front of her eyes only to drop her jaw, the woman was a more m.a.t.u.r.e version of her sister Nara, as if age added nothing but grace and serenity go her beauty, the woman was nothing less than a true queen..

"Henry dear, the holy council is here, they are looking for you" the queen said calmly, her voice soaked with mother affection, something that made Sara's heart ache weirdly.. she too wanted a mother..not to mention the horror she felt when she heard that the holy council was here

"They are late as usual, i'll take my leave than, i hope to see you again, be safe Miss" Henry bowed politely to both the ladies, fighting an urge inside him to c.a.r.e.s.s the little bird like girl's head, he smiled to himself not understanding what it was before leaving to the big hall.. both the women followed him with their eyes, until he disappeared from their sight, leaving Sara alone with queen Katherina
