Alexa Kethzie's
Chapter 102: Go Home

After all the business is done, I and my little family are now intending to return back to the Frost kingdom. Before that I asked my father to leave some people to help Dummy who lives alone because now his servants have run away.

My father walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder slowly.

"Had he been alive, I would have blessed the relationship between the two of you" he murmured to me.

After saying that he entered first with my brother into the horse-drawn carriage.

I bowed my head deeply while biting my lower lip. Can't you say something like that sooner? we've done a lot to make you say that but after he's not there you say it. It's painful.

"Miss, please come in," called someone while pulling my arm slowly but the pull was so strong.

"Can't you be a little polite to my sister?" Cynical Lavender to the person in black robes.

"I'm fine, thanks for pulling me in" I told them.

With heavy steps I finally got into the car, although I actually did not want to go back there quickly. Because I know that if I get there, all I'll find is bad news.

I turn my attention now to my father. He was as silent as I was, staring outwards he kept daydreaming at the sight of the road that we continued to pass.

Unlike my brother who looks calm while reading sheet by sheet of books in his hands. Sometimes he smiled a little and sometimes looked sad, no one else he read must be a novel by a royal author.

I don't understand what he's doing, he could have relaxed after killing Prince Shun who is my fiancee. Does he feel guilty at all? even if I don't kill him, it doesn't mean I forgive him.

I'm sorry Prince Shun, I don't know what to do at a time like this.

I turned my gaze outside now, suddenly a bluish-colored light shone around the carriage. A teleportation magic was created and moved us in just the blink of an eye.

Now we were in the backyard of the palace overgrown with flowers. My father came down with a better expression than before as well as my brother who still looked calm.

Another case with me who is already agitated half to death because among the few people who welcomed us there was no prince Shun.

Some of the people who came were happy to welcome us. But on the other hand there are also those who do not like.

After I got out of the carriage I immediately ran among the crowd, hoping to see him, hoping that the news was just bird news. He's still there and fine. But in vain I could not find his whereabouts at all.

Suddenly someone greeted me from behind while hugging me.

"Congratulations Leca, your team has been the winner" said someone I know very well.

"Natte!" My reflexive peek turned around and hugged her tightly.

"Yaps,"

"Congratulations Leca," Kecha added, then hugged us.

"Thank you, then how's my team doing?" I asked who immediately made their facial expressions change.

"Emhh. well they look... not okay," replied Kecha.

"Then what about Prince Shun?" manyworry.

"We don't know, we haven't seen him at all since a week ago" they replied.

DEG!

This is impossible... There's no way Prince Shun is dead, they must be lying. Prince Shun is strong, he's the strongest person I've ever known, there's no way he dies that easily. Prince Shun must be alive, right?.

"Why Leca? Isn't he the same as you?" ask Natte.

Suddenly I fell limp while tightly gripping my own dress.

"Prince Shun.he was severely injured back then, then I left him," I muttered while holding back tears.

"What?!" They both were shocked.

"You lied, right? prince Shun is missing?" tanya Natte is full of emphasis.

I nodded which instantly made them shocked and shook his head in disbelief.

"No no, you must be lying" murmured Kecha.

"No Kecha, I've suspected that if something happened here without our knowledge, a few days ago we weren't allowed to meet their team, right?" natte said suspiciously.

Kecha nodded.

"Sit down" said Natte telling us to sit on a bench near us.

"I suspect they're all seriously hurt, actually,"

"Ahh it can be,"

"I really want to see them" I murmured softly.

"Go Leca, they must be eager to see you after hearing you disappear for a few days, thankfully the royal party sent help to find you, too,"

"really?"

"Yes, we're all worried,"

"I'm sorry it's my fault, I'm acting too rashly" I said as I bowed my palms to them.

"It's okay" Kecha and Natte replied with a faint smile.

I immediately ran into the palace, tracing every room that belonged to them. But no one knows where they are. It pissed me off and ruffled my hair out of frustration.

"Hey you," call someone from behind me.

I turned around and widened my eyes when I saw him. He smiled and approached my collar.

"Where are you, I'm worried about you" he said, hitting my head hard with his hand.

"I'm sorry prince Zio, I didn't mean to disappear" I said as I stroked my head.

Prince Zio was speechless as he looked at me with a gaze that I could not understand, damn, again he is like this.

"Congratulations, you've become A-class,"

"Ehhhhhhh?"

"You don't know yet? If the exam this time the winner will get a prize of 1 request and up 2 classes,"

"Hee it's too..."

"That's appropriate, because the exam this time is very difficult compared to previous years, but that doesn't mean we who don't win don't go up in class, we still go up one class anyway, only a few people didn't go up,"

"Yes-yes I don't care about that right now," I muttered annoyed at hearing the chatter.

Prince Zio tilted his head with a questioning look.

"I want to ask where my team is?"

"Ohh they are now with there in the dining room," replied the prince Zio casually.

Ahh I deserve not to find him in a room full of sick people. It turns out they are eating. Do they not care about me? I just came.hiks.

"Want me to take you?" Ask prince Zio.

"No need" I replied directly.

I quickly turned my back and stepped out but I accidentally hit a waiter who was carrying water and porridge so that it made the food spill my collar.

"Ah..kotor," I looked up and cleaned my dress first.

The waiter panicked and apologized to me many times.

"It's okay, I'm wrong anyway" I replied with a smile.

"You are, "" furious prince Zio then took my hand and pulled me away from there.

I didn't grumble much and just followed in Prince Zio's footsteps. Along the path that was constantly on my mind was the face of prince Shun. However I worried about him, I still couldn't believe that he really wasn't around right now.

"Is this my room?" Ask wonder.

"Yeah,"

"Said you'd take me to the dining room?"

"I don't want to drive you if your clothes are full of porridge,"

"Ehhhhhhhhh, yes heheh" I replied with a cry because I realized my clothes were now united with the porridge earlier.

"Wait a minute" I said, then went into the room and changed clothes.

Ahh I haven't entered a room in my palace in a long time, after all I used to live in a mansion.

I took a deep breath, then opened the door. Anyway I'm just a temporary princess in this palace, tomorrow-tomorrow I return again the son of a Duke.

Bruck

Suddenly Prince Zio hugged me in surprise and we fell on the floor. It was fortunate that my head was protected by his hands so I didn't feel much pain.

"You're making me flinch"

"I miss you" he sounded happy.

I flinched and smiled thinly. "Thank you for worrying about me,"

Prince Zio looked at me and smiled, "Thank you're not enough,"

"Y-ye end I don't know what to say," I muttered suddenly nervously.

I immediately pushed her body and quickly stood up and left the place.

"Wait for Miss Alexa, I hear it,"

My steps stopped and then turned around.

"Hear what?"

"About prince Shun,"

"Di-he why?" manyaku.

"He was killed by your brother?"

I flinched then moved closer to Prince Zio and looked at him fixedly.

"Where do you know?" My toot.

Prince Zio chuckled, "I was just guessing, but I didn't think it was true,"

I sighed, "Can you shut up? I don't want people to know,"

"Are you involved?"

"..." - ".I'm speechless.

"Listen Miss Alexa, this is great news, if this is known by the kingdom of Arrenthia then you will know for yourself the consequences,"

I'm nodding. "I see, I think I am guilty of everything that happened to him, the death penalty will not be enough for me" I said slowly.

"I won't let you do that" said prince Zio and stepped before me.

***

I turned my gaze all over looking for the whereabouts of my friends. It turns out they are no longer there.

But when I turned around to look for them again, Chaser immediately came while hugging me in addition to Elisha and Lily who were also scattered.

"We missed you!" Shouted them at the same time.

Honestly, it surprised me and smiled faintly at the words. Those words comforted me a little after all the events I've been through all this time.

After that I heard many stories from those who told me about the events after the fairy hunt. But they don't say things about Prince Shun, I know, maybe they don't want to make me sadder.

"By the way, ladies, there will soon be a new king change as well" Chaser said as he took some grapes into his mouth.

"Ohh yeah?"

"Yeah,"

"I already know that," I replied directly.

I approached the table with lots of food and fruits and took an apple and ate it.

"Ohh,"

"Leca you look so uninspired this morning, did something happen?" ask prince Zio.

Instantly I swerved towards him. What the hell does he want from that bad news? He wants me to be sadder after seeing me happy?.

"Ohh yes did you know about the news of Prince Shun's disappearance?" ask Lily.

I nodded lethargicly.

"Leca recalls she must be fine," said Elissa hugging me softly.

"You guys, don't treat me like a child, I still haven't received this news and I have to make sure myself that I believe,"

"You're like Erdwan, he went to look for Prince Shun loh" Lily said.

"Ehh really? I don't see it at all."

"Then can you confirm it without any evidence? you know for yourself that if missing means disappearing, then there is nothing you can investigate from something that has been lost without evidence" Prince Zio said in response.

I nodded, then thought for a moment. "Hmmm maybe it's time I give up and be with you prince" I said with a faint smile. Well even if it's pretend but my smile is very convincing.

"Good son," said prince Zio while holding the top of my head.

I immediately brushed off his rough hands, "Don't expect you to make me give up just because I didn't find any evidence" I said exasperatedly and left.

"Nonaaa, I'm coming" Chaser and Elissa said after me from behind.

"Hhhh troublesome prince," I sneered at prince Zio.

After some distance I turned around just to make sure that she was not really offended. But Prince Zio just looked at his hands that I had taken off earlier and then looked at Lily with teary eyes.

"We are friends who are trying to meet again" said Prince Zio slowly.

Lily who looked at him so pity then comforted prince Zio by giving him fresh fruits that Lily was holding daritadi.

I sighed, there is no point in me worrying about him just because of my disrespectful words.
