Chapter 109 - Justify His Arrogance already!

Maya continues hesitantly noticing his changed expression "I mean..if there are sufficient soldiers..why are you fighting from closed Pavilion?"

Victor raises his eyebrow subtly and answers "We have. But Our Crown Prince ordered to not allow anyone inside the Pavilion. It would be better to attack them from our fort wall by arrows".

Victor wonders "Are you still thinking of going back from this land, child?".

Maya looks at him shocked "..".

Victor smiles "I wish you could think of living your life here".

Maya subconsciously chuckles "Here?".

Victor looks at her "Hearing you say it as my fight... You still do not think this as your family and your fight".

Maya blinks and mumbles boringly "Why would I fight?".

Victor smirks meaningfully as if he knew something that even Maya didn't know "Your armour is here, child".

Maya looks back at her and frowns 'Why is it brought by a bunch of servants? Wouldn't a shield protect me? Or at least an armour for my upper body? Heavens! Why are they spreading a tent?! Are they going to ask me to change here?!'.

Sarah gestures Maya to come.

Maya leaves after nodding at Victor. She notices a big wooden chest carried by the servants.

Maya couldn't help but worry 'What if it's massive and I couldn't even stand with it's weight after wearing it?! Did I made myself a fool in front this Sir?!'.

With that thought Maya frowns 'Should I have to hurt myself to gain the strength now?'.

Sarah holds Maya's hand and leads inside the big temporary tent brought by them.

Seeing Maya staring around in shock, Sarah explains "This is not very new really. We have been trained for all emergency situations, Madam".

Maya only then realizes many servants around them and asks "Would this happen frequently?".

Soon Sarah sends the other servants to wait outside.

Sarah asks removing Maya's outer robe "This temporary tent?".

Maya nods "And..also..the Queen's armour ...How could one exist?! How could it fit me?".

Sarah smiles opening the chest they have brought "You are underestimating Our Northern Country, Maya. You have no idea how thoughtful they are".

Saying so, Sarah picks up a shining armour from the chest with pride.

Maya gasps "This is..".

Sarah finishes Maya's sentence with a single word "Yours!".

Maya felt herself excited and anxious 'It's...I can't believe this! I have read tons of war stories and many epics! I have never read anything like this happening! This people prepared an armour?! For me?! For an unwanted commoner?!'.

Sarah brings the armour close to Maya.

Maya couldn't help ask "Would this be heavy?".

Sarah smiles while making Maya to wear it "You tell yourself".

Maya feels the armour guarding over her body and frowns "It's not heavy at all!".

Sarah smiles knowingly "This is exclusively made for the Princesses and female warriors".

Maya checks the new armour keenly while Sarah helps her to wear her armoured clothes which looked normal from outside but fully metal chain plated from inside.

No swords can harm her if she wore these armoured clothes but it still could be surpassed by an arrow attack.

As the armoured metal were in net structures to comfort the movements of the body, the arrows can still penetrate through them.

But it is still marvelling! She couldn't help get astonished at the Royals consideration!

Sarah asks "Will you wear a skirt?".

Maya notices even the skirts have the inner layer of metallic layer and gets a glimpse of an another set of clothes similar to men's armour cloth.

She smiles "I have been wearing the skirts..let me try wearing that cloth!".

Sarah is hesitant at first but she could only follow Maya's order at this moment.

For the first time, Maya felt so happy for wearing a new dress! She is extremely happy!

While she tried to walk out of the tent, Sarah stops "Maya?".

Maya turns back and even open her eyes surprised seeing a magnificent bow in Sarah's hands!

'She must be a deception! That bow ..can't be...mine..'.

Sarah smiles "I saw you practicing Archery  these days.. So, I thought..you would like this-".

Maya cries in shock "Is that really mine?!".

Sarah chuckles "I can't believe you are happy to get a weapon! Queens get happy only after they receive Royal jewelleries and expensive clothes! Look at you!".

Maya has no words to explain her overwhelming happiness and asks again without even hearing Sarah "Is this really for me?!".

Sarah stuffs the bow in Maya's hand and nods confidently "It's really yours, Your Majesty!".

Maya holds the bow in her hand and gasps inaudibly 'Is this how Arjunan and Karnan felt in Mahabharatam?! Is this how Lord Raaman felt in Ramayanam?! I can feel the sense of... I feel invincible now!'.

Bhommi mocks "Stop ranting, Sister Maya! You are no Arjunan, Karnan or Lord Raaman! You just wore an armoured dress for the first time and you talk like you have won tons of wars already! Ah! Look at you! You just got arrogant just by wearing a cloth and you complain about that Scary Man for being arrogant!'.

Maya blinks dumbfounded 'True! I feel so proud for wearing this cloth for a single day..and no wonder that man got arrogant! Who would not be?! I never thought...that...this cloth could do this to me! It literally did nothing but made me to justify His arrogance already!!'.

Maya looks at her back as Sarah has already made her to wear the Quiver with a belt stap embracing her body from right shoulder to her left waist. She felt a strange feeling wholly.

'Where am I going? I always hidden myself from the danger and now.. Am I doing right?'

Bhommi declares "They are going to attack, Sister Maya. You have to send this useless servants away as there will be an arrow shower in few minutes!".

Maya gasps 'What?!'.

Sarah finally makes Maya to wear her metal helmet as if she read Maya's mind!
