Chap 4
Khenzi has been taken out of the Scorpion cage and is kneeling in front of Princess Nafara who has long whip rope in her hands and is angrily staring at him.
Princess Nafara
Despite the fact that you didn't shoot that arrow, I am still punishing you for disobeying a clear order.
Princess Nafara
Every one of you was told to stay clear of the yard and the welcoming hall, yet you had the odacity to take the young princess for an archer lesson on a day like today.
Khenzi m/c
I am so sorry, Princess Nafara.
Nafara releases the whip on Khenzi's back and he winces but does not cry out. If there's anything that infuriates Nafara more is a weakling and crying to her symbolizes weakness, so she does not let such a person off easily.
Princess Nafara
😡 Shut up!!!
Princess Nafara
You have humiliated the royal family, you deserve death.
Khenzi m/c
*breathing heavily*...
Princess Nafara whips Khenzi more and more, he can feel the fresh on his back tear.
Princess Nefertari
*comes in* Enough, Nafara!
Princess Nafara
*stops* How dare you enter this place?
Princess Nafara
You're soon to be married, you're not to get yourself dirty.
Princess Nefertari
Then stop torturing him. It is not his fault, you are well aware then why do you still punish him?
Princess Nafara
*angrily* You dare stand up for a servant boy who humiliated our family Infront of such important guests?
Princess Nefertari
*sighs* He's a human too, he doesn't deserve to be treated as such.
Princess Nafara
Father left me in charge, I'll not let a servant ruin everything.
Princess Nefertari
*breathes calmly* The Prince is okay and he didn't complain. Mother talked to Princess Elenora and they are not offended...calm down.
Princess Nefertari
You've punished him enough, you'll end up killing him.
Princess Nafara
I don't care if he dies.
Princess Nefertari
He's your best archer, even though he doesn't go to war his skills helps a lot around here.
Princess Nafara
*glares at Khenzi's leaned figure* Get him out of my sight or else I'll kill him.
Princess Nafara
*sighs* Jamir!
Princess Nefertari
* gently* Please help him to the nurse. Let her treat his wounds.
Jamir
*bows* Yes, My Princess.
Jamir helps Khenzi up.l and takes him out.
Jamir
Why were you playing around at such a time? You know how the commander can be.
Khenzi m/c
And you know how the young Princess can be...she insisted on it. She said she wanted to impress the guests with her shooting skills.
Jamir
Hmph! That was really impressive.
Khenzi m/c
Hey! Don't be sarcastic.
Khenzi m/c
I pray Satur doesn't see me like this. I laughed at him for getting whipped this morning.
Jamir
This isn't the time to worry about Satur, your condition is worse. The commander must really hate you.
Khenzi m/c
Mmm! I wonder why?
Jamir
*whispers* Maybe because you're getting so good with the sword too, that she's getting jealous.
Khenzi m/c
Shush! You'll get us in trouble. And I only sword fight for fun. The queen made it clear that am the castle's servant not a soldier. I am only allowed to play with sword because I need to protect the young princess
Jamir
But your skills are really good now, if you practice more you might be an expert.
Khenzi m/c
*sighs* it's no use, commander would never let me reach any other level except the one am in now
Jamir
You surely don't know what you wronged her?
Khenzi m/c
*shakes his head* Surely!
