Darren and Leticia looked at each other longingly.
Alexander could sense that there was something between the two of them.
" What's wrong with them? why are they staring at each other like that? do they know each other?" inner Alexander curious
" It's a shame, prince Darren is here and I'm sitting on the lap of this psychopathic king "inner Leticia is sad
" What happened to you Leticia? why are you in her lap? did the king really torture you? " inner Darren sad
Realizing his sister continued to stare at Leticia, King Cedric told his sister to stop staring at Leticia because King Alexander did not look like seeing her. Darren secretly shows his dislike for King Alexander.
At the banquet of the kings, Leticia was about to begin asking for permission to leave the royal hall.
" Your Majesty, please let me get out of here" Leticia whispered
" why? are you uncomfortable being here? or is there something you need?" ask Alexander
" Already know uncomfortable, why still ask. "inner Leticia resisted upset
" Sa.I want to go to the bathroom" replied Leticia stuttering
" Okay, you can go. But with Daniel "said Alexander agreed
" I can be alone, don't go with Mr. Daniel" Leticia said, declining
" Then don't expect to get out of here" Alexander said firmly
" Well, " answered Leticia
" I'd better keep up now, so that I can be a little free of her "inner Leticia
The girl was left, but with Daniel. In front of the toilet..
" Sir, are you going to follow me all the way inside too?" ask Leticia
" I'm sorry, I'll wait here princess" replied Daniel politely
" He still calls me princess, even though he knows I'm a prisoner. He's quite polite unlike that psychopath "inner Leticia
Leticia went into the bathroom, a little while later when she came out of the bathroom, she saw Darren was already in front of her and Daniel was not there.
" Prince Darren "Leticia greets the man
The man's eyes glazed over Leticia, he hugged the girl in front of him longingly.
" Your highness the prince." lirih Leticia was stunned
" Why did she hug me like this and why couldn't I refuse her? my heart is sad.what is this feeling.." Leticia's inner wonder.
" Thank God you're still alive, thank God" said Darren relieved
Leticia pushed Darren and looked back and forth.
" What is the prince doing here?" ask Leticia
" I'm here to take you away from here" replied Darren passionately
" What did the prince say? don't talk carelessly, someone will hear " said Leticia
" Let's get out of here, I'll ask my brother to take you from here. I can't see you here" Darren said anxiously
" Can't, I can't go with you" said Leticia refusing
" why? are you afraid of King Alexander? or don't want to go with me?" ask Darren
" Two to two" replied Leticia
" Leticia, I know you're suffering here. I'll take you away from here" said Darren sadly seeing the wound on Leticia's hand
" I'm fine, don't worry about me. Better your majesty get out of here" said Leticia cuek
" Tisha !" darren is sad
" Don't do this, I can't be weak in front of him. He loves the real Leticia, not me, don't let him get hurt and get into my trouble with the psychopath King" Leticia's inner heart was sad
" Go!" exclaim Leticia firmly
" Why tisha? why are you like this? you can't be happy here! so come with me home we go !" he shouted at Darren while holding Leticia's hand
" gone? go home? whither? I don't have a house anymore "ask Leticia
" Even though the kingdom of Brilla is already controlled by Fostiarus, but you still have a place to go home. With me, we return to Ilios .." Darren replied with confidence
" Can't, it's not my house" Leticia said
" I've been gone too long, that psychopathic king won't be looking for me right?" inner Leticia
Daniel shows himself in front of Leticia and Darren.
" Daughter, we must leave immediately. His majesty the king will soon be looking for us" said Daniel
" Her Majesty, go! never come back here "Leticia firmly
" Tisha.. "
Leticia brushed aside Darren's hand and left with Daniel, leaving Darren to look at him sadly.
" I'm sorry, Prince Darren, you better not get involved with me. The psychopath king will hurt you if he knows about our relationship. Anyway I'm not the one you should save, I'm not the Leticia you mean." Leticia's mind was sad
" why Leticia? why are you like this? are you like this because you don't want me to be in danger? if that's the case, I'll be in danger for you "inner Darren is full of determination
Daniel and Leticia walk into the hall, but before they enter the hall, Daniel invites Leticia to have a little chat.
" What do you mean exactly? who does he care who I am close to? " ask Leticia in surprise
" I have never seen a noble king so attentive to a girl, I think the king is starting to have feelings for the princess. Although I am not sure if one hundred percent is true or not, but I can judge that your majesty cares about the princess ", said Daniel
" That tyrant king ? care about me? have feelings for me? please don't make it up to Mr. Daniel, where anyone would care about his family's murderous daughter" Leticia said in disbelief
" I'm serious, even today, that Duke Henry was exiled to a remote part of the country and that's only because the king saw him talking to the princess" Daniel said with a serious face
" What? because me?" ask Leticia
" Surely, the noble is a good man, only the way to show his kindness is different from most people. And lately thanks to the princess, the king is beginning to change, I beg the princess not to make her majesty angry" said Daniel
" Like her, Mr. Daniel didn't lie, but yes he did because he cared about me? she hates me?" inner Leticia wasn't sure
" I'm not sure what you're saying, maybe you're not lying, but it's still hard for me to believe" Leticia said in disbelief
Leticia and Daniel ended their conversation and went back into the hall. Followed by Darren behind them. Alexander gestured for Leticia to come closer to him.
" Want to see when you humiliate me, psychopath king. Daniel, where do you say people care about me? is this the kind of person who cares about that? " leticia grunts in her heart
The girl walked towards Alexander, but Darren stopped her by holding his hand and it made the kings there surprised to see her. Including Alexander who looked wrathful immediately stood up from his seat.
" What's he doing? Oh no, this is gonna be a big deal !" inner Leticia panicked
" Darren? what the hell is he doing? he's too rash !" the Inner King Cedric was stunned
" How dare he touch the girl "inner Alexander was angry
" Let go of me, noble prince !" leticia
" No, I want you to go with me "Darren firmly
" What did this prince do? he made his majesty angry "inner Daniel panicked
Alexander uses his magic to attack Darren. Leticia confronted him so that Darren would not be harmed by Alexander. In the end the man stopped when Leticia was in front of him.
" Your highness, don't .." said Leticia
" Who is this guy? why would he protect her?" inner Alexander was upset
Everyone looked towards the three of them, and it made Leticia uncomfortable. Darren did not care and looked at Alexander with a sharp gaze. King Cedric immediately pulled his brother to avoid strife.
After the banquet of the kings was over, Alexander looked furious and dragged Leticia roughly into his room.
" sa.kit ! your majesty is crazy, isn't he?" asked Leticia while feeling her hand hurt
" What is your relationship with the prince of the kingdom of Ilios?" asked Alexander cynically
" What's my relationship with him, I don't think it has anything to do with the king's majesty !" exclaim Leticia firmly
" Oh so so so? you don't want to answer my question? believe it or not I will make him disappear from this world forever" Alexander said
" Your majesty ! why did Darren have to disappear from this world? What harm?" ask Leticia annoyed
" Darren? you even called him that familiar?" alexander was angry
" If it's true that she cares about me as master Daniel says, then I'll try to test her "inner Leticia
" Akhs.. " Leticia held his hand while pretending to be in pain
" What's up?" alexander asked worriedly
" My hands hurt. " replied Leticia moaning in pain.
" Is it because I pulled her hand violently so she's in pain?" inner Alexander
" I'll call the healer !" exclaim Alexander anxiously
" What? why would he do this? does he really care about me?" inner Leticia was shocked
The king actually held a healer to check on Leticia's condition.
" Is it still painful?" the Physician asked as he held the hand of Leticia who was wounded by the sword
" No need to hold everything ! do your job right !" alexander was angry
" Your Majesty how can I examine her if her majesty forbids me from touching the princess, I will not know where the pain is" said the distraught Physician
" Anything can't touch !" alexander was upset
" Ba.good is the noble King" said the Physician nervously out of fear
" He's this really weird "inner Leticia
***
King Cedric tried to persuade Darren to come home but the prince was very stubborn and adamant about taking Leticia with him.
" Darren, don't be stubborn! we can't fight him !" exclaim King Cedric
" Sister .. I can't let him be here, brother see how the evil King humiliates him in front of everyone? brother see his hand that's hurt ? I heard from the servants there that Leticia was almost killed by the tyrant King with her sword" Darren said frantically
" then what do you want to do? took her away? you think you can? suppose you can do it, then what about your fate and our kingdom? " ask King Cedric
Darren looked sad after hearing that.
"Like her you don't understand yet, Darren" said King Cedric as he sighed
After the incident, Leticia whose hands are still sick is not allowed to go out or work like a servant again by King Alexander. And just staying in his own room, all the servants grew jealous of him due to the king's treatment of Leticia. However, the girl was indifferent even though many hated her in the palace. He instead used the tyrant King's attention on him to survive.
