After we left the palace like a bubble that just disappeared, less than a minute later I felt my feet on the ground. I still didn't let go of my grip on Prince Arsh's hand until my foot landed on the ground."Here we are," said the Prince.I immediately looked at it and glanced at Prince Arsh. There was still no emotion on his face while I was amazed because in an instant we were here immediately. It's amazing because we don't have to walk or even ride a rickshaw to get here. With the ability that each Prince has just like this, it is much easier for them to go somewhere. They are actually more fortunate than ordinary Norlanders like me, who have to struggle with what kind of transportation to use whenever they go to distant places. But at this moment, I am also lucky. I experienced this ability they possessed with the help of Prince Arsh and the other Princes.I rolled my eyes all around. We are now in the thick part of the forest. Many towering trees surround us. Many dry leaves hav
"You are really beautiful, Princess Amity."I looked in the mirror as Kharim Celia's eyes also worked to observe every detail of my face. She didn't even blink as it stared at me. Eventually, she turned her attention to my hair. She took the hair that was next to my face and placed it behind my shoulder. She stroked it first before gently placing the ancient classic hair clip with a pearl and flower design. I held that hair clip earlier and I looked so beautiful. That is what women often used to decorate their hair in ancient times.Kharim Celia didn't have a hard time fixing my hair because she just let me put my curly hair that was only shoulder length. Kharim Celia's hair clip matched my blonde hair because it was gold in color. It made it even more beautiful when she also put the headdress on my forehead with the same pearl design. Kharim Celia let a few strands of hair fall on both my cheeks. She also put light make-up on my face and in a few moments she finished fixing me.She w
"Can I dance with you, young lady?"I didn’t even let Prince Arsh linger on his knees in front of me because honestly, I was the one who was ashamed. We also grabbed the attention of the other guests at the other table. I may be even more annoyed when the third Prince stays in front of me for a while.Also, who is the crazy woman who would reject a Prince in the midst of so many people? Shame will go to the Prince when I do not accept his invitation.I put my hand on his palm. "Sure, Prince Arsh."He smiled when he heard my answer. He slowly got up from his knees and slowly helped me to my feet. We walked hand in hand towards the dance floor. The early dancers in the middle left and Prince Arsh let us solo the entire space of the dance floor. Supposedly, the spotlight is on us now which has given me even more disdain.Everyone was sidelined and their attention was focused only on us. This is how it feels that even if you don't want to, if one of the Princes is with you, they will only
I woke up because of the noise I heard. I was still clinging but my spirit was already awake. It looked like someone was shouting outside our Kharim Celia room. I could hear a mixture of shouting and crying. Addition is to the whispers of some people there.I felt the surroundings, still not losing the shout. In fact, it is even stronger. They did not stop exchanging words.What's going on?"How many times can I say that? I'm not at fault! I can't do what you're accusing me of. How can I do that? I'm just a lowly servant!"That voice is familiar. I know whose voice that is. Every day we were together, I memorized her voice. I can't go wrong.That’s Ysabelle!I immediately opened my eyes when I realized what was happening and from whom those cries were coming. Even before I woke up, I got up quickly. I even fell on the bed in a hurry and got up immediately. I saw Kharim Celia peeking out of our open door. I was only able to run to his side."K-Kharim Celia, why are there soldiers?"Kha
"Tata Lucio, where are you?"I've been circling the tree where he lives before but until now it still doesn't show me. Not even a shadow of him I can’t find. I've toured this chief money still nothing.Where is he now?"What do you need, Princess Amity?" his question from behind me.Finally!I immediately turned around and was exposed to Tata Lucio, the unique bird who knows my true identity and the creature that is why I am here today in the Kingdom of Norland. He was sitting on a branch that was not high. I remained standing where I was while still looking up at Tata Lucio. I don’t know where it came from, he just suddenly appeared on that branch."Do you know anything about what happened to King Valor? Do you know who really poisoned him? Tell me it's not Ysabelle. My friend is innocent, isn't she?" My tone was full of hope.Tata Lucio is the only creature that lives here that I can approach for help. I can’t ask the Princes for help because they’re probably already fed up with wha
I thought I was blind after we left the dungeon because I could see no light. I even widened my eyes and rubbed it, just in case I saw something but still. I remained dark-sighted.I knew we were somewhere else because I felt like my two feet were on the ground. But I wonder, why don’t I see anything? Why is my vision so dark? I gripped the arm of the person next to me, Prince Arsh, even tighter. I couldn’t help but be scared of this place, a place deprived of light."We're under the palace, right, Arsh?" that voice of Prince Dern. Ysabelle and I were the only ones with us before we left the dungeon. At once we fled and went to this place.Even though Ysabelle and I can't see them, I feel like they're just the two of us. I could feel their presence and based on how loud Prince Dern's voice was, I determined that they were right next to me.Is what I heard from the fourth Prince correct?My eyes widened and my mouth fell open. Are we under the palace? Does that mean we are underground
"Dern, Arsh? Ravi has been looking for you for a while," Prince Nesh greeted us as we entered the palace. The youngest Prince's face was full of concern. He seems to have been waiting for his brothers for a while.We arrived at the chaotic palace.Many soldiers were scattered outside and even inside the palace. They protected the entire palace with their sharp swords and arrows with fire bullets. The military vehicle we passed at the gate, it looks like it has just arrived as well. Everyone is alert to what might yet happen.I rolled my eyes around. Even inside the palace, especially the one in the quadrangle where the ritual for King Valor would have taken place was damaged. Because of the overflowing gas stoves and the cluttered chairs, it seems that the ritual did not go ahead. This is the most damaged. I can't help but think that the quadrangle is what the opponent wants to blow up. Maybe it was because he knew King Valor would be released for the ritual to be performed. And that
One day has passed after the day I will never forget, the day when my only friend in this world died. I only have one friend, but she was even stolen from me. Will that also be denied during my stay here?The pain provided by the explosion that occurred throughout the Kingdom is still fresh. Everyone mourned, especially those left behind by their loved ones. Still unacceptable to how the man behind it ended the lives of the innocent citizens of Norland. Even others who are silent are affected by the enemy. They did not even feel sorry for the children who had lost their parents, many were orphaned. Many are grieving today because of the explosion that occurred.I still can’t believe Ysabelle is gone. The event was too fast and I can't get over it. I did not expect that when we gave her the opportunity to see her Mother and sister, we also allowed her to disappear from us forever.I feel guilty for what we did. If we had not told her about what had happened to her mother and sister, sh
