Chapter 23

unexpected visitor

The twittering of the morning birds woke her from her deep sleep. Leila sat up and started getting changed for the new day. She picked up her sword, which she learned to always carry around with her.

She was on her way to the practice courts when Myolie ran up to her, panting.

¡§What's up Myolie? Why the rush?¡¨ Leila asked.

Myolie caught her breath and stringed her words together. ¡§Leila, the...there's a group of people outside...and...and they want...to see you.¡¨

¡§Do you know who they are?¡¨ Leila asked, walking towards the main hall with Myolie.

¡§I have no idea, but they look very rich.¡¨ Myolie started to state the visitors appearance.

¡§Take a seat, sir.¡¨ Damien turned towards Nancy. ¡§Where's Leila?¡¨

¡§Myolie has gone to find her.¡¨ Nancy turned around when she heard voices coming. ¡§There they are.¡¨

Leila and Myolie walked out from the back of the hall. As soon as Leila saw who her visitor was, she ran up to them. The one who seemed to be leading the group pulled her into a tight hug.

Ron, who was watching all the time, bit the inside of his lip till it bled. He looked down and avoided the scene.
Bosco, who stood beside him, stared at the scene then looked at Ron.

Leila finally let go. ¡§Ray. Why are you here?¡¨

The whole room turned to look at them, realizing that Leila had not expected the visit.

¡§You promised you'd let at least Michelle to look after you.¡¨ Raymond said.

Michelle took a step forward from behind Raymond. Leila embraced her in a hug.

¡§Pri...Mistress. I¡¦m so glad to see you.¡¨ Michelle held onto Leila¡¦s hands.

¡§I missed you mich.¡¨ She turned to Introduce Raymond to her friends. ¡§I almost forgot. This is Raymond Lam, My...¡¨ Leila was cut off by Raymond.

¡§I¡¦m her friend.¡¨ He lied.

Leila frowned at him, not understanding why he was saying that, but decided to ask him later.

¡§This is Damien Lau, Master Lau. Master of Wah san pai. He's si fu's si dai.¡¨ Leila continued.

Damien nodded and Leila carried on introducing her friends.

¡§This is Ron. Ray, do you remember him? He saved my life twice...And this it Bosco, Nancy, Myolie...They are all my friends.¡¨ Leila introduced, starting to get excited.

Damien took the guests and Leila to the back garden so that they could talk in private.
The others went back to their usual practice.
Leila asked Damien if Michelle could stay. Damien said she could if only she didn¡¦t disturb the others.

The sun started to set when Raymond and his people left. Before leaving, Raymond had a little with Michelle.

¡§Michelle. Make sure you don't let Leila get in harm's way. She's a bit stubborn, so I know she will get into trouble a lot. I made a deal with her, that she could only stay for three more weeks. During these three weeks, I will be visiting often .I need you to keep in contact with the Royal guards I have placed in the area.
Raymond ordered.

¡§Yes master. But, didn't you promise the princess that you wouldn't spy on her?¡¨ Michelle asked.

¡§I did. But Leila's safety is more important. The assassins are on the loose. They could be anyone in the main hall just now. I can't risk her again. Understand?¡¨

¡§Yes master.¡¨ Michelle shortly replied.

¡§And dont tell Leila about the assassins. I dont want her to be worried.¡¨

¡§Yes master.¡¨ Michelle replied once again.

Raymond then left with his people trailing behind him.
