Chapter 28's

...

Prince Yardley Arathorn was sitting with some of his friends at a banquet that was being held in preparation to commemorate the royal emperor's birthday celebration. Prince Yardley spoke as he occasionally sipped a drink from the glass he was holding.

“So how to prepare from the magic tower to commemorate the anniversary of the emperor, Zeyden?” Prince Yardley spoke to a – man who was now sitting in front of him who was also enjoying a drink he was holding.

The person asked did not immediately answer but only smiled back while turning – revolving drinks in the glass he was holding.

“Cause Zeyden, you must report to me so that I can take care and prepare other things also for this celebration.” Prince Yardley then spoke again because the person he asked did not answer the question he asked for him but instead smiled.

“Your nature is too gentle to be the successor of emperor Yardley, you should have been a little more resolute and not begged me who only served as the leader of the magic tower in this kingdom.”

“Have not brought up the matter again, you have told me about it repeatedly Zeyden you are my friend and I have not officially become the king's successor so I have no reason to be rude.

“Be firm Yardley, not rude. Can't you tell the difference.”

“Iya, yes, I know that do not reveal anymore can not just answer my question.”

“Preparation of the magic tower is perfect, we have formed a defense that will later guard from inside the building, guard in case of attack from inside the palace when the party is held.” Zeyden then explained what he had prepared.

“Alright Zeyden, I still have to hear the report from Duke Yarnell as the defense chief, but it seems I have not seen Duke Yarnell present at this banquet. Zeyden have you seen him?”

“No, I have also never seen him present at this event.”

The two of them then circulated their gaze to look for the person they had both questioned his whereabouts seeing one by one the people who were in the place but unfortunately they both did not find the person they were looking for.

After a while looking for their eyes then caught the male figure of – young men who were more or less the same age as Prince Yardley and Zeyden, who were more or less similar, the man was walking towards the table occupied by the two of them and after arriving in front of the Yardley and Zeyden princes he then saluted first by bending his body slightly forward before speaking.

“Don't be too formal with me Winter, but Winter where is Mr Duke Yarnell?” Prince Yardley then greeted the man by asking questions.

“If we are friends I still have to respect you because of your title as crown prince. Oh and Lord Duke Yarnell could not meet Prince Yardley directly so the Duke sent me to deliver the preparation report.”

Winter speaks while taking a seat and joins the same table as Prince Yardley and Zeyden.

“What made him unable to come directly to me to report?” Prince Yardley continued to look at the person who had just arrived.

“Alright so how is the security preparation and how is the hunting competition activity for this celebration?”

“For security we have set the post – guard post in the square – city square and its surroundings to prevent the occurrence of crime when the situation starts to crowded, we also place guard posts in the – border area to easily catch criminals if they try to escape. And for the hunting race will be held the same as the rules of last year.”

“Alright, the security issue that became an important part in this activity is safe.”

After he finished giving a report on the matter of preparing the emperor's birthday celebration to the prince, Winter then raised and waved his left hand to call the waiter who happened to be walking nearby while carrying a tray containing a drink glass. The waiter who saw Winter's call then immediately walked towards Winter after until the waiter bent his body by putting his left hand on his chest in honor of Winter and the – people who were with him later after that then the waiter put a glass of drink in front of Winter.

The waiter bowed again after putting a glass of drink in front of Winter and then immediately left to serve – other guests who also waved to deliver drinks.

“So since when did you return from Winter border?” Zeyden asked Winter who was now busy enjoying the drink in front of him.

“It's been seven days that I'm back from the border. This time I was ordered back to work and given a new task that is to maintain the security of the celebration this time.”

“So like that, how about Yarnell residence?” Zeyden again asked Winter who was still busy with his drinking glass.

“Why are you asking me about the Yarnell family Zeyden, there are – there are you this.”

“You will visit there every day because you work at the Yarnell residence, I heard that Leathina had come to her senses from her long slumber and I heard rumors circulating that Leathina lost her fight with her half-sister Nicholas even now that she was locked away and would not come out of her room because shy.”

“ News about Leathina was always a hot topic in this kingdom well.”  Winter just responded flatly from Zeyden's words.

“That's because she is the weirdest and most heartless woman in this kingdom, I have even visited her because it was ordered by my father but after being unconscious for over a month the woman has gotten even stranger.” heard the topic of Zeyden and Winter talking about Leathina Prince Yardley then also joined the topic.

“Do you really have visited him?” Zeyden who heard Prince Yardley's words became curious.

“Why don't you just meet him at the Yarnell residence if you really want to know about Leathina's condition, Zeyden.” Winter then proposes a suggestion to his friend Zeyden who seems very curious about Leathina's current state.

“I have no reason to visit at Duke Yarnell's residence and for what reason should I visit there if only want to see the state of Leathina I don't even have any relationship what – is with her.”

“Then why are you even questioning Leathina's situation to me if you don't want to know about Leathina, Zeyden.”

“Nothing – am I just curious about the news circulating and being the main topic in the news in the kingdom, everyone is talking about it now.” After speaking in response to a question from Winter, Zeyden again drank his drink without caring about Winter's gaze looking at him with a finishing look.
