The mischievous princess and her simpleton knight

Once a upon a time, there is a prosperous kingdom in the land called Aurevia. The King rules the kingdom for a long time with peace and bountiful of blessings. It was so wonderful that other kingdoms were even envious of it.

To be a part of that Kingdom, the other Kingdoms tried to have a political marriage with the King's three children. He has a prince and two princesses.

Prince Helrick, who is the eldest at 25 years old now, is the successor to the kingdom's throne and was already engage to his childhood friend Helena making her the future queen. Thus, the others already gave up on being a part of the Kingdom thru him.

The middle child at the age of 23 years old is princess Kaela. She's well known to be a weird princess making pranks and being mischievous to everyone. She doesn't act like a royalty and make weird demands on her suitors like a crystal ball that can change shape depends on her mood. She also asked one time for a pet that she can ride and turn themselves invincible. Princess Kaela also has weird antics like eating in the table with her bare hands, dancing in the balls like a crazy mad woman making weird movements and facial expressions. As more time past, her weird antics turn the suitors off.

The youngest child is princess Levita, the one currently every Kingdom chase who's at the age of 20 years old. She is very beautiful with her long silky blonde hair and fair white skin. Even her aura emits that she's well manner and very kind. The kingdom never runs out of suitors visiting for her. However, the youngest princess is well protected by her family especially Kaela that makes the suitors go crazy just with dealing with her.

One day, 15 suitors went home with sour expression. As the door closes on them, Kaela laughs.

"Ahahaha, have you seen their faces? They can't believe they all lose with a simple arm wrestling with me."

Levita sighs and holds Kaela's arms to check on them.

"Geez. What if you get injured? You're lucky no one of them have a body build like a minotaur." Levita said worrying.

"That's why I choose arm wrestling because I knew I can defeat them. You can defeat them too you know. I'll teach you the secret of winning any arm wrestling."

Levita pinched Kaela's arm which sends the Kaela in pain and pulled her arms away.

"I would do no such thing as challenging a man so I can rub on his face I'm stronger than him. We should be understanding to them and not antagonize them on every move they make."

Kaela rolls her eyes and walks away.

"You're too soft on them sis. Let's be honest, they just want to turn you into a door to enter our family."

"Kaela!"

Kaela runs away and looks back to her sister with her tongue sticking out. Because she's not looking in front of her, she collided with a person in front of her sending Kaela down in the floor.

"Ouch! Can't you see a princess is running?"

When Kaela looks up, she saw her brother Helrick looking down on her with a smile.

"And a princess shouldn't run around in the palace specially not looking ahead."

Helrick offered his hand to Kaela to pull her up. Albeit disgruntled, Kaela grabbed his hand and got pulled up.

"Duly noted our future queen." Kaela said.

Kaela said those words as she always teases Helrick for not being able to say no to his fiancée ever since. Helrick pinched Kaela's cheeks in response to her retort.

"Oho. Maybe once I’m crowned, I should cut off deserts to you and will send you to date gathering every day."

Kaela pinched back Helrick's face in response.

"You tyrant! Monster! I'll create a coup to kick you out of here and send you to the farm."

While the two are having a staring showdown, Levita approached them with a smile on her face. She rarely sees her siblings nowadays as everyone is busy taking their roles.

Helrick is now under their father's guidance in preparation for ruling their kingdom and they even visit the other kingdoms for political issues.

Kaela on the other hand is managing the services for their people like visiting the orphanage, marketplaces and schools. She's always running around the kingdom and became the people's voice inside the kingdom. Whenever their family needs feedback and suggestion for the people, Kaela is the one they always trust.

And lastly, managing the palace and entertaining their visitors was left to Levita. She always makes sure that the palace is well maintain and guarded. This was supposedly their mother's tasks when she was still alive until she passes away giving birth to her.

"The two of you, quit it now. Helrick don't you have something to do?" Levita intervenes the two.

Helrick let go of Kaela's cheeks first.

"Kaela, I need to talk to Levita about the upcoming visit from the Talberia kingdom."

Kaela let go of Helrick and pouts.

"And why do I need to be out of your talk about it? You're not planning to throw me to the den with those animals, are you? I'll kill them all if I have to just you know."

Helrick chuckles and pat his sister's head.

"Because what we will talk about is meaningless. I'm actually giving you a special time with your prince. He's waiting for you in the armoury."

Hearing those words, Kaela blushes and punched Helrick's shoulder before running away.

"He's not my prince!" Kaela shouted.

Helrick watched his sister disappears while rubbing his cheeks now red due to Kaela's pinching.

"Stop teasing her about Balton. What if she stays away from him? He's the only one who manages to stay long with her." Levita said while checking Helrick's now swollen cheeks.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm pretty sure she's head over heels for him."

Balton is one of the thousands of knights in the kingdom. But what made him special is that he is the only personal knight of Kaela. While there are knights that fight and protect the kingdom, the siblings' personal knights tend for them as private bodyguards and servant. Halrick have over a hundred personal knight while Levita has fifty.

Balton is a tall muscular man with short black hair and have a diagonal scar on his face. There are people that call him a stupid guy as he never attended school and basically entered knighthood with just pure strength at his disposal. A strong recommendation from multiple grand masters made him enter and graduate in the knight academy. But the story of Balton being a personal knight of Kaela overshadow his lacking in academics. Balton was also close to the people of the kingdom thanks to Kaela always going around every day.

As Balton is cleaning his armour with a wet towel, Kaela sneaks behind him and grabbed the helmet placed on the table. It was just finished being cleaned by Balton. Kaela then walks back and wears the helmet. She then grabbed a towel and drench it in the barrel of black oil. Once covered in black oil, Kaela used it to cover her body and hide in the darkest spot of the armoury. It looks like the helmet is floating from afar.

"Baltonnnn!" Kaela said it frightening voice.

Balton drop the armour he is cleaning in surprise and look at the direction of the voice. He saw his helmet now floating in the dark corner of the armoury.

"Martha! You finally became sentient?"

"Martha?" Kaela said in confusion. "Are you naming your equipment?"

"Well, yes. An old man in the town said that giving name to your precious equipment brings good luck."

Kaela sigh upon hearing Balton's explanation.

"He picked up another weird superstition."

Balton is very susceptible in superstition and would follow them to a tee which sometimes bring headache to Kaela.

"I don't want the name Martha. Make it Kaela instead." Kaela demanded.

Kaela wants to see Balton's reaction to naming things with her name. To her surprise, Balton blushes up to his ears.

"I. I can't do that. If you will be Kaela, then whenever I wear you, I would imagine myself kissing the princess because my lips are near with you."

Kaela blushes upon hearing those embarrassing words from Balton.

"Oookay. Let's go with Martha then. What's the name of the others?" Kaela curiously asked.

Balton introduce the name of his armour one by one to Kaela or Martha to his eyes. The breastplate is Rowan, gauntlet is Elric, the greave is Marian and so on. A total of 10 different names including the helmet.

"Heh. Those names sound ordinary. I thought you would give them a more unique name."

Balton gently smile as he caresses his breastplate.

"Those names are the one I thought if I would have children."

Kaela suddenly have a flash of thought on her mind.

"Children? Then if we would have children, he wants ten children from me!!!"

"Are you okay Martha?" Balton asked as he notice the helmet suddenly shaking in all directions.

"You pervert! Do you know how hard to bear a child? And you want me to make ten kids!"

Kaela then slowly lowers her voice.

"Maybe five. I think I could bear with that."

Balton was shocked on Martha's accusation and negotiation.

"No. You got it wrong Martha. I would never ever lay my hand on an inanimate object no matter how horny I get."

Kaela then remembers that she was actually impersonating a helmet. She feels the rush of embarrassment with putting her feelings open to Balton albeit in the guise of a helmet.

"Then, what about princess Kaela?" she asked.

"I won't lay my hands on her as well. I respect her and I swear I would protect her with my life."

For some reason, Kaela feel that she got piss off on Balton's answer. His answer was right in every angle, but she feels that it was wrong for her.

"But if I rose up in rank and became a grand master, I would seek for princess Kaela to be my wife. I will love her for the rest of my life. So please Martha, protect me until that day come."

The helmet remained silent and became unresponsive.

"Balton why are you still here? And are you talking to someone?"

Balton look at the voice coming from the door and saw his commander standing while looking around.

"Sir. I'm just cleaning my armour here." Balton said as he stands up and salute his superior.

"You always personally take cares of your equipment. I wish the others are just like you." the commander said smiling.

"This is just my personal hobby sir."

"By the way, I heard Prince Helrick wanted you to be with princess Kaela today. Did she already come here?"

Balton shakes his head.

"I'll look for her sir."

Balton glance in his helmet before the two men leave the armoury. Kaela finally was able to remove the helmet and her whole face is red.

"Silly Balton. Hurry up and get promoted soon."
