510 Words
Agnes entered the breakfast hall a little late than everyone because she had stopped to observe the knights. Lucy looked at her and could not help but squeal just how cute she looked in the princess dress.
“Oh, my Agnes you look so cute in the dress”
She was not wearing any makeup and her raw beauty without any hint of tiredness on her face, hit Lucy and Russel hard. Russel nodded she was looking really cute he just wants to pinch her cheeks.
Agnes smiled a little and sat down; Lucy was testing the waters by not adding ‘Lady’ and calling her in a familiar tone; she was thankful that Agnes did not mind that means she is comfortable with them. What she did not know is that Agnes never had anyone call her 'Lady' so, she did not pay any mind to them.
All of them sat down as Jane pinched Agnes’ cheeks making her them rosy, Agnes put her hand on the cheeks looking at Jane who just smiled wanting to pinch her cheeks again.
“I cannot help you are just so cute”
Jane squealed seeing Agnes puffed her cheeks at her making her look extra cute; making Jane and Lucy squeal again while boys just sighed. She always acted cute in front of Jane. Jane being Agnes' very first friend made Jane special for Agnes.
Jane always gets a free ticket to see her best friend act cute in front her; but sometimes she just feels like a mother who is looking after her cute and innocent little girl, this might also be one of the reasons Agnes have no boyfriend till now.
Russel cleared his throat taking all the attention to him as he spoke up.
“Lady Agnes as you advised I looked closely at my knights and did not find anything strange”
Agnes raised her eyebrows at him shaking her head in disappointment; making Russel a little embarrassed but he still asked her.
“May I know why do you think that something is wrong with my knights?”
Agnes smiled at him taking a sip of her tea, she looked at him with clear eyes making him startled; it was as if she could see his soul and what is he thinking about.
“I don’t think this the right place to discuss that; don’t you think the same Your Majesty”
Russel looked around coming to his senses of course they are surrounded by servants and other soldiers; he nodded and continued his breakfast. Agnes spread the butter on the toast and ate it observing every servant standing there.
Lucas raised his eyebrows in question at Agnes turning his attention towards the servants, they don’t look anything out of normal. What is Agnes trying to find/ he does not understand; even the knights she has been observing do not look anyway out of ordinary. They have strength and it is normal; seeing they must have trained their asses off to become King’s personal knights. But why does Agnes not like them? What is about them that she finds a little off or a lot off? Why can’t he see anything?
