Noah pov.
There was sothing wrong with this girl. As if she would not stop until the whole empire bowed down to her.
I was living in the duke's palace for a long ti. I have seen her many tis in the past getting punished. She was nothing but a spoiled brat to begin with who was haughty to her bones and did not see anyone equal to her.
She had been bullying her sister and so she was getting in return. I had never thought that she would even have a goal in her life. She would just marry an asshole noble who would be haughty like her and they both would be nothing but nuisance for the society.
But suddenly she had changed into another person. Like she was not the one whom I used to see. Her eyes had turned sharper, her moves have turned lethal. The girl I was sure could not hold the sword even if I wasted my lifeti in teaching her had used dual sword technique in the fight. And i was sure i have not taught a single attack that she had used,
She was looking like a goddess of war to at that mont. The strong determination and bloodlust in her was so strong that I shivered even when I was hidden in the audience.
But even if she would have stopped at that, I would have digested it sohow. But the way she was setting her business with proper planning and tactics. Without even letting her family know and asking for them to invest, she had set up a jewelry business and it would not take much ti when she would be able to set up her clothing business too.
But how and why! It still does not seem possible to be changed this much overnight. If I did not know any better I would have thought that she was soone else, a con who had killed the real princess of duke and taken her place.
But the way she snarled at was just like how she used to do in the past. But look at her right now. The bold look on her face, the smirk that she gave to others and the aura she had.. It felt like she was mature and adult. Like she was in her late twenties not her early sixteen!
"My lady" I ca back to my senses only to realize that I was staring at her the whole ti and she was looking at amused.
When I blinked she winked at with the sa smirk. It annoys to no end. It felt like she knew what I was thinking. She always knew it! She could see through , she could guess my views and even my next attack when we fight! Like she knew for a long ti! Even the way she chose to train her was strange!
"Stop staring at Noah, or I would think that you fell in love with !" my eyes widened as the words left her mouth. She was such an open minded lady that did not even care about her image and dignity at all when it ca to teasing .
I have to teach her a lesson before she becos too brazen! It was not good for her at all. She moved and entered the house again. There a couple was standing holding a dress.
I did not have much idea about the gowns, but it was an exquisite piece of dress with so many diamonds adorning it. Yet her eyes sparkled more than any of the diamonds when she looked at the dress.
For a mont I was so lost that I didn't even see the table in front of when I was walking towards her and got hit in my knees.
"Are you okay?" she asked, turning towards , worried filled her eyes and my heart felt so warm!
How much ti had passed when soone cared for last ti!
I continued to look at her once again as she bent and asked again.
"Noah, how can you be so foolish? Can't you see such a big table on the way? And now! As a knight how can you be hurt enough to sit on the floor?" she chided as she looked at with worry.
Though she was chiding , the way she was looking at was filled with concern.
"Would you be able to stand up now?" she asked again as she pressed my leg where it hit .
It felt like a jolt of electricity had hit . A tingling feeling filled my whole body and I just flinched from my place.
"Oww, you!! How can you be so brazen? Touching a man in broad daylight! Don't you have any sha!" I scolded as she moved her hands over my leg.
"Are you serious! I was just trying to help because you were not responding! How can you bla for that?" her eyes were glaring at as if she would kill then and there yet i felt amused at her.
"I am fine. I am not that weak to be hit by such a small table and get an injury. I will manage, you don't need to touch to check." replied as I stood up abruptly, making her frown.
"Do you need to go to the physician, my lord. There is not a noble physician but a herbalist lives nearby." asked the man who was talking with Abigail a few minutes ago.
I shook my head, "I said I am fine. I was just thinking about sothing else. I apologize for making all of you worry for .
"Ah, not at all. Why don't you sit and rest then. Lily served tea to the gentleman." said the sa man looking at the girl who had opened the door. She nodded and left for the kitchen.
"I will talk to you later. For now I have work!" added Abigail as she moved towards them again.
