Chapter 76 Saving her

"Thank you so much Sir? The little girl of ten years old greeted martin for not allowing that man to buried her away with those dead bodies.
" But make me understand why were you among those dead bodies in the carriage earlier? What crime have you committed and what's your name!
"I'm Bridget! Sir", I live in Flora village as a slave. I had a three siblings who were killed recently and that bossom my fears to leave the village. I can't continue living there because I know that in such way I will be killed or rape and make as a sex slave by those men which was the reason why I have pretended to die and enter the carriage to wherever the man was going to so I could escape.
"Wow that was a wise decision which you made! I'm very happy that you were smart enough to save yourself. I'm sorry for the death of your siblings!
I've heard a lot about flora village although I haven't been there. I heard how dangerous the village was. But anyway who's the king of the village?
"There's no king or Queen! It's just a woman that have come to rule there as an empress recently. She's very strict and had built over hundred soldiers. She was the one who killed my three siblings that was working for her before.
Bridget explain as martin feel so sorry for her. "that woman must be a monster? How could she just kill people anyhow! Who does that shit?
"I can still remember back then when that village was Good. We slaves were treated as a normal human being but when the king was dead, she took over as the empress and everything have been going back. For one to live there now, the person must be strong!
A weak person like me can't stay in that village! She uttered. "You're safe now okay and don't worry! I will protect you! You don't have to live in fear anymore. So erase your mind from those place and focus on what's behind you.
Martin encourage her as she smiled. "Thank you very much sir! I really appreciate everything you've done for me and for saving me today I own you to do!
" You don't have to thank me okay! And please stop valium be "sir" you can call me "martin"
"Okay Sir... martin. She uttered and quickly correct herself on realizing her mistake. " You badly need to take your bath and change those clothes which you're putting on okay so please follow me!
Martin went to his Aunty house and was sad to found only Felix at home. He was even on his way out when he got there.
Felix had drifted back away in fears on sighting Bridget. "Ahhhhh don't be scared she's my friend! He assured him before he could drift forward to him.
They embrace each other before disengaging from the hug. "This is Bridget! My friend! Bridget this is Felix; my cousin!
" Nice to meet you Sir! Bridget greeted her head bow in obesiance as usual. "Where's my Aunty? Martin ask as Felix give him this sad face.
" She isn't at home in the moment. You came late martin! How wish you've come here Sooner you could have still see her at home. She's in her shop! He uttered.
*Okay please do tell her of my visit when she's back! If you don't mind, my friend Bridget will like to take her bath in your house before we go!
"That's....! " And also I will like to borrow one of your clothes so she could wear after taking her bath! "Thank you cousin! I love you very much.
Martin didn't allowed Felix to finish his speech before entering inside the house because he knew that Felix would never agreed on that. Especially someone he doesn't know but he can't wait forever to hear his answer or explain himself to him which was the reason why he just drag Bridget by the hands as they went inside the house.
Felix help him to make water for her and put it outside where they used to bath. Bridget change her clothes and use a wrapper to cover herself as she went outside. Bridget took her bath and feel refreshed okay. She wore the clothes given to her by Felix as she fell down her hair.
She was looking so different and stunning in the moment when she approach Martin. A wow gasped escape his mouth when he sight his eyes on her. "Now I can say you're looking nice! He compliment her as he give Felix a smile gaze.
"Just being careful Martin! They're lot of challenge that comes from being a prince! It would have been better if your mother was in your side by now but I can see that you're really growing pretty well too although she isn't around you.
"I will be going now Felix! Maybe I might come back later before I take my leave from this village but do tell her that I visit if case she comes back any Moment from now.
" We shall take our leave now huh! Take care of yourself buddy. Martin uttered and walk away with Bridget. Bridget on the other hand was surprised and also shock to found out that Martin was a prince.
Well maybe that could be a lies because she can't believe it and it could be that Felix had mistake those words "prince" while addressing him because she can't believe that a prince will save a poor girl like her.
She really found it hard to believe that statement because she knew a prince, a person who come from a royal family wouldn't care about the poor ones they see on the road. So that's it!
Her instinct could be wrong base on that. "I'm sure you must be hungry! Please let go to the palace so I can get us some food to eat. Bridget smile on hearing the words "food" now that reminds her that she hasn't eaten since yesterday night til now. She's badly starving.
But did he say "palace" what's him doing there? She thought.
Martin took Bridget to the palace and introduce her to her grandmother. "Mother meet Bridget! My Friend! " Good afternoon my Queen! Bridget greeted on finding out that she was a queen because of the way she dress at the moment.
"How are you my darling?" I'm fine my queen thank you! She smile back at her. Queen grace gave martin a questionable gaze as a smile crept through her lips.
"You didn't tell me you have a friend martin! Where's this Friend of yours From? Queen grace Utter as it dawn on him that he gotta say something. That's right! He can't tell her grandmother the truth because she might go against her decision and can even tell her to chase her away if she were to hear the real story.
"Well actually mother she's a a Friend of mine from BEl village! "Ohhh is that true? She utter facing Bridget who Later smile and nod her head. " Yes my queen!" She assured.
A food was brought to them as they were discussing. Bridget stomach start to grumble and rumble on perceiving the scent of the food. " Please excuse me I will be Back! Grace uttered and walk out of the room from them.
She doesn't want them to feel uncomfortable with her present. "Eat up why are you just staring? Martin shrugged at the hungry Bridget who didn't touch the spoon. Truth be told she can't just pick up the spoon to eat with him without being called.
Martin could see how hungry she was with the way she was diving the food like a River. Martin request more of the food to be brought to him as the maid bring many more immediately. Martin was satin so he put the two plate of the food in the tray for her to eat.
"Now eat up! Eat as much as you could I have to use the toilet. Martin lied to her and walk away. He lied to her because he doesn't also want to make her feel uncomfortable with him being around so that's why he had leave the room for her.
Nervousness began to drift away from Bridget after martin had left the room. Now it was remaining her and the guards around the door. She's was certain that they weren't watching her from where she was sited.
Bridget eat and devour the food like some hungry Lion which she have proven to be. You can't imagine how the hungers was Killing her earlier. She was really hungry to the instant where she felt her worms eating her flesh in her body all because of hungers.
But now she had regain her strength. She was damn happy for the food which she had eaten. When martin come back Later, he found out that she was done eating. "Was that food okay for you or you still need more!"
"No sir... martin! I'm full already. I'm really satisfied. She utter and then thanks her.
Felix broke the news to her mother when she came back from the store. "Mother martin came to visit us earlier but you weren't at home then! Ohh really! Then go have your birth. We are going to visit them Later.
Martin was so happy to see Kerman. Her aunty. She still could remember the words Lucy had told her about her mother twins of how nice she was to her mother before she died even though Anne wasn't nice to her.
"Good afternoon Aunt!" Martin greeted as Kerman hug him. "How are you martin? I'm so happy to see you again! Felix do told me that you came to visit us earlier. I was actually in the shop when you came. She explain.
" That's right! That was what he had told me. "Please do take care of yourself martin and be nice. Just try to be nice and also don't be evil because evil people doesn't last long. They isn't any gain in wicked act. She advice.
"Okay Aunt!" I will put that in mind. Felix went to meet martin after discovering that they've already discussed out whatever they wanted to say.
"Tell me the truth martin! Who's that girl called Bridget? He ask as he took a deep breath pondering if he could tell him or not about the truth. " Come on martin I'm sure you know me and the type of person I am? You can trust me okay?
Felix assured as martin give him a questionable gaze. Who said I can't trust you? He asked as he smile. "You're really funny!"
"So you're telling me right now that she's a slave and you don't even know where she's from? Felix ask in conclusion of what martin had told him. Actually yes but I do know the village she's from! But I do thought that I told you she's from flora village.
"Ohhh really! I haven't heard of the name of that village though. He Said. "I'm totally against you saving her martin! You've to let her go because you might not know it they send her after you. She might be endangered to your life.
They're fews things and lot of things you should never do as a prince and this was the number one priority of it. Felix advise him like a teacher as he laughed. "Look at the way you just sounded like Mrs. Lucy!
"I understand your point but she isn't someone like that! She's different and i know that she wasn't lying to me when she told me everything. Well if you believe her no problem. It's up to you in knowing who you trust.
"I've been learning martial arts recently! Let's fight with our bare hands so you can know how good I am! "Wow happy to hear that!
Your mother finally allowed you to attend the Martial arts class. Martin utter as he sighed. " The problem wasn't from my mother but my father who doesn't sees it as the right time for me to fight martial arts.
