Chapter 6. Meeting Again

I searched the training field for Fernandez, but I couldn't find him. I asked my uncle and a few warriors about him but no one had seen him.

I blamed myself. Maybe I was too harsh on him that's why he skipped training.

I walked towards the river giving up hope of seeing him for the rest of the day, till I saw him throwing rocks into the river.

"Fernandez," I called out, hurrying towards him. "Fernandez," I called him again.

He turned in my direction. "At your service, my queen," he said so formally and I hated myself more.

I punched him lightly on his arm. "Why the formality?" I asked.

He looked away. "Nothing," he said.

"C'mon, Fernandez, I'm sorry," I apologized.

He shook his head. "You shouldn't apologize, you're the queen and have every right to yell at someone inconveniencing your space,"

"Stop that, Fernandez. What I did was wrong. You've been my best friend for so long and I shouldn't have reacted that way to you.
