Chapter 4

Somewhere out in the wild with Luna as she is returning home.

«Why do I feel strange as if someone is watching me», I wondered to myself, when I suddenly heard a branch breaking into half not to far away.

"Who is there? Show yourself!", yelled Luna slightly.

Within a few seconds the person stepped out of hiding, behind the trees.

"I apologise if I startled you or anything, I mean no harm?", began the guy in a knight looking armour, which seemed familiar, to speak.

"I am your assigned knight who guards you behind the shadows and protects you at all times. The honorary knight of Ourbina (name of the nation)", introduced the knight to Luna.

In disbelief Luna started denying, "I don't have a royal guard. I am not some sort of a princess with an amazing life, my life is way below that".

"Even if you don't believe it, you are a royalty by blood, princess Luna", explained the knight.

"You are lying I am not a royalty. I was raised in an average life style. I was never part of the royal blood line and I could never forget what they have done.. to my mother!!", yelled Luna angrily in a sad tone full of sadness.

"What happened to your mother was a mistake it shouldn't have ever happened. I am truly sorry, we couldn't protect her", said the knight.

After a few seconds of silence the knight continued, "Even so you are a princess, you were raised in this way with reasons..", explained the knight further, when suddenly a arrow flew towards Luna and he stopped it from hitting her by blocking it with his own body.

There wasn't any serious injuries because of the amour he had on, but he still lost a bit of blood.

"I will continue explaining everything ones I get you to safety.", told the knight to Luna and she hesitatingly agreed and followed him.

  In a modest residence, after attaining composure and reflecting upon the information he had shared with me earlier in the woods, I inquired, "If you possess genuine knowledge regarding my mother's fate, would you kindly disclose it to me?" The knight responded, "Certainly, I am at your disposal for any inquiries you may have."

  „I might believe you if what you say is the truth or else I will leave at once", clarified Luna.

  "Alright, princess Luna. I will start explaining now", declared the knight.

  Luna gave a slight nod as response while she sat there in silent preparing herself for the explanation.

  "Your mother is a queen which wished to live an average life with her husband, the king, but your father had to much work and responsibilities on his shoulders, so he couldn't approve of your mother's wishes. Soon after you were born and the king approve the queen's wish to live as an average person, but under one condition that some of the guards would still watch over the both of you to ensure your safeties. About 6 months later new trainees were recruited and assigned to watch over you and your mother, that's when the incident happened. As they watched the both of you for some time, they took you for real slaves and decided to pull a stunt by taking your mother away in front of you. Once we heard of this we started searching everywhere for your mother, but before we were able to find them and rescue the queen, they had already taken her life. This incident really made the king very upset and devastated for months which turned into years. The new recruits which participated in the stunt were punished, and stripped of off their titles as guards. Once the king was doing well again, he had made up his mind of continuing his wife's wish and sent you into a village at the age of six, with me guarding over you"
