The Tiger Within 331 Garden Insults Part 2

Kyera looked up seeing her moving toward her and turned so she faced them squarely. Granted she was a bit unsure as to why these women seemed to have issues with her, she knew she could take them. Whether they came at her with wit or brawn Kyera was certain she had them tended.

"Good Morning, how can I help you?" Kyera greeted them. Her dazzling smile set the three women back for a moment, furthering their dislike. No wonder she could charm a soft heart like Clovis.

"You could start by greeting my lady Properly." The first maid replied, her voice sharp and reprimanding. Kyera raised a brow and looked at the beauty nested between the two maids. She was pretty, and Kyera was fairly sure she was a wife of one of the prince's but which she had no idea.

"Oh? And who would your lady be that I must greet her before she introduces herself?" Kyera asked. Her tone clearly implied how arrogant she felt Feya was. Afterall, how was Kyera to know her if she had never been introduced.

"You rude creature!" the maid growled seething with anger, having read between those lines. Kyera looked confused for a moment, there was a feigned innocents on her troubled face. The mischief in her eyes warned that she was ready to do battle. Unfortunately her opponents missed that detail.

"I am rude and yet your calling me a creature? What does that make you?" she asked toying with the woman. The maid's face turned red with frustration while Kyera stood unruffled by their attempts to put her in her place. Seeing how this was going, Feya cut in.

"Forgive her. Lei and Ming have been at my side long enough to be like sisters to me and get protective. I hope you are not too offended to take my apology? Afterall you were wrong first." Feya replied but followed that apology with another accusation. Kyera chuckled.

"So that is how you plan to play it? My dear lady I  am surprised at you. I mean I admit it is a safe response but really now?" Kyera asked folding her arms over her chest. Her eyes danced with amus.e.m.e.nt as Feya seemed briefly confused.  

"I am afraid I do not understand you, Miss?" Feya let the sentence fade away.

"Don't try go play that game with me. You've been eyeing me with disdain and talking about me since you entered the garden. Don't pretend not to know me now. I was not born yesterday." Kyera replied bluntly. "Not only that but your blame s.h.i.+ft was weak. You know as well as I that my mistake was understandable and fairly non offensive taking into account we have hardly met in person." Kyera continued and Feya spoke up.

"How dare you accuse me of slander, you truly have no idea who you're dealing with." she growled honestly insulted by Kyera's straightforward att.i.tude. The smirk on Kyera's lips hinted at her mistake.

"No I don't, which is my entire point. How was I to show you proper respect if you had not introduced yourself? Im a foreign diplomat, and still new here." Kyera pointed out, forcing the princess to eat her own words. "I simply don't play games." Kyera replied shaking her head. "I might just be a forest girl but at least I know how to say what I mean."

Feya's temper burst and she aimed to slap Kyera across the face. The Tigress caught her wrist and twisted spinning Feya around. The first princess found herself locked into a position she couldn't get out of.

The maids stared in shock before running for help shreiking "Help! HELP THE WOMAN ENGAGED TO THE THIRD PRINCE HAS ATTACKED PRINCESS FEYA!"
