Chapter 112: The Urge
Ava's departure is still tomorrow. Although he insisted on being left alone, King Dion remained steadfastly attaching a servant and soldier to accompany his journey. Inevitably Ava also finally accepted. Unfortunately because of that, Ellijah saw a gap he could exploit.
"Then let me accompany Princess Eve." Duke Frost offered himself.
Ava automatically glared at Ellijah, even though three days had Ava refused to see the man's face, let alone talk to him. At dinner he was invited to have a light conversation, Ava replied in her perfunctory manner. Fortunately, Ellijah still has the sanity to not invite him to argue with his mouth in front of the king and queen.
Hearing Duke Frost's utterance, the king smiled widely. "Ah, right! Who else would be a better soldier to keep Princess Eve out of harm's way than Duke Frost, her valiant fiance?"
In fact, King Dion had refused to accelerate the wedding schedule between Princess Eve and Ellijah because he still saw more benefits when the princess was still a royal family. The watered-down brain she has won't see much of it, so despite the risk of worsening her royalty's relationship with the Frost family, who have served for thousands of years, King Dion is still looking for a reason to rewind the marriage. Why would he sell a goose that spawns gold? But after hearing that Princess Eve's heart was leaking, her thoughts immediately led to the loss of valuable assets, because not being able to use anywhere was the same as cutting the value of existing products. Although Eve herself said that the matter would resolve itself over time, Dion was still pessimistic. Plus his fear of the faltering power of royalties that are threatened if the information is known to the public, so he is very enthusiastic to bring the two closer. In addition to eroding bad rumors about their relationship that is not harmonious, the position of the royal family will also be more solid if the two get married. Dion does not understand why Princess Eve continues to rewind the wedding date for various reasons, the handle is "busy to do research that can be useful for Edodale", he said", because the girl knew very well the king could not refuse if the reason put forward was like that.
"Why refuse a male prop whose seedlings, bebet, and weights are like that?" grumbling the King, it seems that his grunts were deliberately hardened so that one dining table heard.
Fortunately Queen Isabel quickly downgraded the topic, "What the people say if we have a wedding when the existing acts of terrorism are still unresolved."
Marvin nodded in agreement, "Right, the population is still anxious about the possibility of a threat action in the future."
"Then finish it quickly, Chief of the Investigation Team," King Dion said, his highlight sharply pointing to the prince's seat.
Half an hour later, the session ended. All those present had intended to return to their respective rooms, of course unless the stubborn Ellijah followed Ava.
"Daughter Eve, we need to talk."
Ava kept walking, it was getting faster.
"Daughter Eve, please."
He doesn't want to hear or be close to Ellijah.
"Princess Eve," this time the one who called out was different. Ellijah and Ava both stopped, turning towards Queen Isabel who had just walked out of the dining room. "Can we talk for a second?" ask her with a gentle smile.
What else is this?
