In the capital city, people of different provinces flocked there. Many entrepreneurs scattered around the district, displaying their various products according to what would their respective provinces would produce. There were silk, jewels, rich foods, costly shoes and even animals being saled.
Alminah's face was a delight to see when she kept on tossing herself around, looking so lively while seeing for herself the vastness of the capital and its grandeur. Most of the consumers were of nobles type so having a prince tagging along would stand as a challenge since he could draw a crowd. So he was left inside the carriage while she had two lords following her behind.
Lord Troi hastily looking here and there when he had lost sight of the little princess.
“We have lost her.” Sten exclaimed in panic while trying to get in the middle of the crowd.
Atthebanquethallwheretheroyalfamilyis… Woon carefully placed the buttered chicken on the tribe princess’ platter, cutting a portion for her convenience. He was talking to her in low voice that only them heard. Twopersonswereeyeingtheminsecret,unsettledwiththekindofhappyatmospherebetweentheeldestprinceandthetribeprincess.

In boredom while looking outside, the young prince never did join his company with their animated exchange of words. Rather he suited himself in listening to them. Strangely, his ears would perked up when the tribe princess would began to respond to the inquiries of the eldest prince. “Ireadtonsofbookwhenyeareaway.”ThetribeprincessrespondedtoWoon. “Whatkindofbookdoyeread?MightIlendyousomeofmine.”Suejoinedin. “No particular kind, really. But I love the recent book that I am reading now.” She commented. “Whatisit?”Woonasked. Not one of them saw Jion’s slight tilting of his head towards the tribe princess and Alminah throwing a silent stare to the young lad before both averted their eyes from each other. “Works of Tol
Princess Alminah wiped her own tears as she saw Sue in a distance, sulking. She got off her own horse and slowly strode towards her, quite relieved that Sue had not entered into the forest or finding her wilt be difficult. “PrincessSue-,” “Donotevendaretocomenearme!” Alminahstoppedonhertracksandwatchedhersobbedsilently. “Iamtrulysorry.”Alminahmanagedtosay. Sue looked at her with an accusing glare. “Are ye perhaps happy that ye made those two fight over thee?” ThetribeprincesswasevenperplexedwhyinheavenSuesaidthosewords. “I would want them to mend their bond again. I want them to get along as much as you want, Princess.” There was silence before Sue looked down realizing that
“Did ye find them?” The young prince asked calmly although Woon knew he was as panic stricken as him. They both rode their horses and quickly ran over the place they went in hope that they wilt find the two lost princesses. In distance they saw the white stallion of the tribe princess drinking water along the river banks. Jionkickedshadowtoracehisbrothertowardsthehorse. “Theyarenothere.Woon,theyarenothere!”Jionexclaimedasiflosingitgradually. “We have to find them-, Sue!” Woon rode towards the princess who has her gown painted with bloods either of her own or someone else. He did not know but he had to be there with her. Sue trembled again upon hearing another whimpering of horses on her back but she was relieved that they belonged to the two princes. “Your
There was slight disturbance in the younger prince’s study. It happened after King Suk handed him one old journal that he strangely found at the royal family’s old chest. At the cover of the journal was the official sign of Jion. He scanned a little and got confused with the dates and the events of every particular dates written on the book. Somehow it did not match with what had been happening the past few months. What caught the king’s attention was the wedding of the tribe princess and the young prince many months ago. He asked the counsel of the eldest prince of what action they must do to the book.“I am certain that it was Jion’s handwritten. But, I do not know if the content was some sort of fiction for the events that were written gone contrary to what really happened the past months.” Woon said in silence.“Whatarewetodo,son?”However, Woon’s mi
She gave a big unladylike yawn before looking at the vastness of the whole valley where they pitched their tents for two days. She never knew that traveling upon cities to cities can be really tiring. “Whereisfather?”sheaskedthebulkytrainerofalltheirwildbeast. “Onthelargetentcheckingournewlyacquiredprizesfromthecitywewentinlasttime.” “Thepumas?”Shefixedherlonghairwithshadesofgoldenyellowandbrightred. “Yeah.Hecouldnottamethemuntilnow.” “HowaboutyouDari?Youareourtrainer,amIright?” He snickered. “Yeah but those animals are the real deal of the word wild.

“ I can’tseeif there is any need for a celebration.” The king spoke in low tone while continually reading the scrolls coming from different lands of the whole kingdom. “ThepeoplewantedtoseetheirKingafteryourjourneyfromthedistantlands.” “Good that the people are not cursing me for being gone for too long leaving the affairs here in thine hands, Troi.” Thelordjustsomberlysmiledwhileslightlybowinghisheadforthecommentoftheking. “They really don’t mind at all since this guy wont even sleep just before he finishes the affairs of the kingdom for a day.” Lord Sten butted in after courting a slight bow to the king.

It was a very weary practice and the chief tribe allowed them to breathe some air either just to sit around the grassy valley or roamed around the capital to get familiar with the place just before they wilt have to perform the circus for the noble. Alminah and Shima shared the same interest in fine jewelries that the English women wore in some occasions so they sorted to be in the city to check some of the goodies. “Iwantedtopracticeratherthatwalkedaroundinthisnoisyplace.If it is not for our living, I’d rather me inside the tent and play swords. It is in my blood. I could felt itright in my flesh and bones.” Chaerin continued to blabber nonsense while following the two ladies around. “Oh shut it, Chae. Ye are no fun.” Alminah managed to talk despite her animated choosing of the jewelries. “Dari and Chae were like siblings who struggled to e
