Chapter 134 - Molly And Her Aim

At the time when the ladies were busy with the purification and flower selecting ceremonies. The Crown Princes Alan and Brazen along with Molly we're gathered at the tea room.

"Prince Brazen, it's has been a while since I last saw but still I didn't think you would become this tall," Molly said as she felt inferior to his tall height when they were of almost the same age.

.

"Is that so? Well, I don't know that. I am still growing." Brazen said as he laughed at her words whereas, Alan was thinking about his existence in between them.

"(I should have just left them to talk.)" He thought as he sipped the green tea when he noticed a slight cut on Molly's hand.

.

"Lady Smith, you have hurt your hands." He said as he kept down his cup while Molly looked at her hands.

"Oh, this! It's just a scratch." She said while not paying much attention to her hands.

.

"Even if it's just a scratch. You should still take care of it, what if I get infected?" Brazen said as he held her hands and wrapped a piece of his clothing around it.

"Yo---Your Highness, Thank you but what about your clothes?" Molly asked as she panicked while her eyes became lost again.

.

"Don't worry, I will just change and you too should go and disinfect your wound. And take care of yourself, a knight's body means a lot to them. You understand what I mean right." Brazen said as he smiled at her while she nodded her head.

.

"I understand and I apologise for showing such ignorant behaviour before Your Highnesses and from now on, I promise to take of myself," Molly said as she bowed towards him and Alan.

.

"No worries, but----" Right when Alan was about to say something they heard a knock at the door.

"Your Highness, I have a message from the Madam." The palace maid said from outside.

.

"Come inside and tell," Alan ordered her and she politely opened the door and went inside.

"Greetings to Crown Princes and Lady Smith, if your talks are done then the Madam wants all of you to go down as the ceremony is about it begin." She said and then left quietly.

.

"Looks like we have to leave now," Molly said with a smile on her face.

"Wow, looks like Lady Smith has been looking forward to this ceremony., Brazen said as he noticed the sudden glow on her face.

.

" Of course, I am excited, after all, there is a possibility of one of the ladies there to become our future Empress. So, I need to make good relations with them." Molly said as she grinned.

"Wow, I don't believe I am hearing such sharp words from your mouth, tell me did someone teach you this?" Brazen asked as he looked at their eyes which got a little nervous.

.

"Hah, yeah yeah, your highness is right. these words aren't from me, It was Irene who taught me all these tactics. But don't get her wrong she never taught or talked about anything that trashes anyone's name. She just taught me all so that I have some support on my side." Molly said as she sighed.

.

"Support on your side? You mean..." Alan asked as he looked at Molly who seemed troubled.

"Yeah, support... it's a bit uncomfortable to say it out loud but since it's his highnesses I don't think it would be a problem...

.

You must already know that I am the only female knight in training and that no woman has ever in history has chosen such a path but I chose it and that broke many people's thoughts and ideas...which affected our family. 

.

Even though my family has always been supportive, this time they still had to give up one, after all, we still need to live in this society...so I total gave up the thought of being a knight but suddenly like a ray of hope she (Irene) came and from the first meet she has been trying to push me forward.

.

She never said nor showed what she has done for me but still without any pride, she would always treat me with the same amount of respect and admiration. As if she knows it all.

.

And her unsaid force gave me the confidence to bravely walk for my dream and hence I started my training here although thanks to my dedication my parents started to support me but that support isn't enough since I have a long way ahead.

.

Hence, Irene gave me an indirect suggestion to gather support and power, and she already prepared some supporters for me already which included the Winter, Willson, and Carot, families.

Which helped me a lot and now I wish jet to have a rest and work on myself.

So, this ceremony is the key to my dream." Molly explained in detail as three of them exited the room and reached the two-way path.

.

"Hmm, I already had the idea that Lady winter is very sharp and has kin observation but I didn't think her to be so generous and empathic not to mention she knows a lot about politics which is a rare sight in kids of her age," Brazen said as he smiled while remembering the first time they meet.

.

"I already told you, Lady Winter is one of a kind. And there will be no before and after her." Alan said as he looked at Brazen who didn't quite understand his words.

"Then Your Highnesses please excuse me and see you at the ceremony," Molly said as she bowed and quickly went to her room to change her clothing.

.

"(Thank God I showered before leaving the training ground filed or else God knows how embarrassed I would have been informed of the two Princes! But really how is he so tall? He is just about to turn 16 and his height is about 176cm then in three years he might even cross 180cm. Ha I am so jealous of his good height.)"

.

Molly thought as she entered the bathroom and took a light shower after which she changed into a pair of dark blue dresses which long sleeves and buttons in between along with a satin Ballon gown. 

.

Along with that, she wore a pair of earing with long strings attached to them which she later styled with her hair and then she has worn her blue gloves. A pair of heels and done she was ready to go.

.

"Hmm, Kelly's choices have become better with time. Such a pretty dress and ornaments." Molly smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror and then slowly proceeded to the hall.

.

Meanwhile with the Princes,

"Woh, look who is here!" Brazen teased Alfred who was hiding behind Alan trying his best to calm down his rage.

.

"You-- Why are you here?" Alfred said as he clenched his fists.

"To attend the ceremony. Remember my sister is here?" 

"Yeah, they know that I am here but brighter were where you? Do you have any idea about how long I have been waiting for you?" Princess sofa who out of nowhere appears from behind asked angrily as she geared with him with fire in her eyes.

.

"Sofia! My sister, I am so sorry. I got so caught up in my work that I almost forgot about you--" As soon as he said that Sofia gave him a death glare and left the room with a word.

.

"Where is she going and why is she being so sensitive? I just got caught up with something. It's not like I am not going to her ever again." Brazen said as he frowned.

And right then he held Alfred's hand which came from behind all of a sudden.

.

"Alfred are you for real? Why are trying to deal stack me for no reason?" He asked as he gazed at Alfred who was trying to break free from his clenches.

"First, how are you so smart that you noticed my presence without even looking back and how can you be so dense to not notice how hurt she is?" Alfred asked as he played at Brazen who was now at a loss of words.

.

"Now that you seemed to have understood it. Don't just stand there and go after her before it's too late." Alan said as he pushed him out of the room without a single word from his mouth.

.

"Do they think that my sister, Sofia is all timid and loving?" A confused Brazen talked with himself when suddenly a hand came forward him.

"Brother how long are you going to sit there?" Sofia asked Brazen who was busy thinking about Princes.

.

"Umm, Brazen?" She said again as she waved her hands inforn of him and shook his shoulders.ŕ

"Huh, Sofia why are you here? And we're you angry at me earlier?" He asked as he held her hand and stood up on his two feet.

.

"Can't you tell of course I am here to see you big brother.." Sofia said as she smiled brightly looking at him.
