I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 25

“Elic?” Zeria looked at Eric because she could not believe the scene she had just seen, with her own eyes.

Near Eric who was standing by the window, there was an explosion that was large enough to destroy the wall. Eric, who was by the window, slapped into the middle sofa and hit the table. His body was full of wounds and blood, yet his consciousness was still there.

“TUAN PRINCESS!” Reina immediately ran to hug Zeria shortly after the explosion and Eric was thrown up to the middle table. “YOU'RE FINE?!” Reina's face was panicked. Zeria's body was hit by debris from a building that had been thrown off by the explosion, but there were no serious injuries. But it seemed, Zeria did not realize that her body was injured due to her surprised rank.

“Elic?” Zeria still could not believe what she saw. His face looked very scared, he did not want to see anyone die again because of him. But somehow, Zeria's consciousness also gradually began to disappear, like being affected by something. Zeria looked at the bloodied Eric, with her eyes beginning to fade, she saw an unfamiliar smile on Eric's face. “Eh?” Zeria looked at the milk glass she was holding with trembling hands and instantly lost her consciousness.

“TUAN PRINCESS?!” Reina was made even more panicked because Zeria was unconscious. “You!” Reina looked at Eric with anger, and Eric returned with a smile.

“Hei boy, what to put in Zeria drinks?” Arin appears just as Reina lifts Zeria away, and calls for the bodyguards.

“Entai?” Eric is smiling like that. “Gagal” Eric thought, then he lost his consciousness too.

Zeria was unconscious for a few hours, and for Eric, of course, he was not well. Everyone close to Zeria felt that something was wrong, Zeria was always involved with an incident and most of it was almost dangerous.

“There was a traitor” Lucas raised his voice with what happened to Zeria.

Louise responds to Lucas's talk sparingly, as the principle is not to bring personal problems into the work.”Right, and for sure that person is the one who knows all about Zeria.” Louise gave her conclusion, “What is the child?” Louise furrowed the tip of her brows and placed her hand on her chin.

“Eric?” Lucas made sure of Louise's words quickly.

“Yes, because even we don't know where it came from. He arrived in and became Zeria”Louise's bodyguard still trying to find suspicious things that exist on Eric.

“Baginda, you can not conclude it without any evidence” Razel began to raise his voice, because the thing they were talking about has begun to deviate.

Louise glanced at Razel, due to differences in opinion between her and Razel. “Yes, I know. I'm just saying my opinion, I won't be able to conclude anything without proof.” Louise scratched her head.

“It looks like it wasn't Eric who did it” Lucas shared his opinion as well without hesitation.

“How can you deduce that?” Louise looked at Lucas deeply so that no lies would be told.

“Because I believe in Zeria's judgment, how could I say that?” Thought Eric. “If he does intend to kill Zeria, then he can do it while Zeria is off guard. For example, when he sleeps, or during other times. Why would he have to make an explosive alibi, and injure himself?” Lucas believes in Eric because he believes in Zeria's judgment, that bringing Eric here is not a disadvantage for him, and it is in his favor.

“Is that? But in the Zeria milk cup back then there was a bit of magic, all the servants in this palace were just ordinary people. And at that time in Zeria's room only Reina and the boy” Louise and Lucas argue against each other.

“Then, why don't we try to find out about Reina too?” Mutual opinions, without the slightest gap. Lucas also struggles to keep defending Eric because of his trust in Zeria.

“I told you, all the servants in the palace are just ordinary people without any magic talent” Louise still replied to Lucas with words that can hardly be denied.

“What do you mean-“ Louise stopped talking and started digesting Lucas' words just now.

“Baginda, what the Prince said was right. Reina is not a palace servant, but a personal lady of the Princess and her foster mother” Razel who since then could not enter into the conversation between the two of them, finally found a gap and began to say his opinion.

“True, the imperial family's private ladies can only be filled by the noble families. And all the nobles must have talent in magic” Lucas' argument was really tight without any gaps and it made Louise speechless.

“Hah, okay. Investigate the backgrounds of the two of them without anyone being missed.” Louise sighed because she really lost her opinion with Lucas.

“Baik” Razel went straight to deliver a message from Louise to William. By the way, William is currently at the scene to investigate the cause of the explosion along with the witch from the Razel magic tower. Zeria rested in another room in her palace, while Eric was still unconscious and was in a room not far from Zeria's room.

“Why did you defend him?” Louise asks why Lucas defended Eric.

“Because if he really wanted to hurt Zeria using the magic she put in the glass, he should have used magic that could have directly killed Zeria. But what she did turned out to only make Zeria faint without hurting her.” A very reasonable conclusion, Lucas immediately left after making Louise run out of words.

Zeria received only minor injuries from the incident, but what intrigued Zeria was the cause and purpose of the explosion. And also why Eric gives magic that can make you faint for a few minutes.

“Zeria?” Lucas went into Zeria's room, and saw Zeria reading a picture book accompanied by Reina.

“Ya?” Without taking her eyes off the book she answered, Zeria answered a call from Lucas.

“How are you doing?” Lucas stroked Zeria's right hand gently, right where the wound was. And make sure that the wound is okay.

“Very well” Zeria paid no heed to Lucas' palm rubbing his right arm, and continued to read the book he was reading.

“Really?” Lucas rubbed Zeria's head and fiddled her hair. “Reina, does Zeria eat right?” Lucas asked Reina who was right next to the bed.

“Iya Prince, Princess eat as usual without leaving her food.” Answer Reina.

Lucas is very suspicious of Reina for the explosion, actually Lucas wants to tell Zeria if he suspects Reina. But she was afraid that Zeria would get angry, because Zeria loved Reina so much. “Hm, Good then” Lucas washes Zeria's hair well, and pairs a ribbon.

“Kak” Zeria closes her book and turns her eyes towards Lucas, “How is she doing?” Zeria's eyes were filled with questions, and it turned out that the first thing she asked was Eric's state.

Lucas shook his head, gesturing that Eric was still unconscious. “So yes?” Zeria's face looked gloomy.

“Let's just relax, he'll surely soon realize” Lucas hugged Zeria without taking away his caution on Reina. Because the enemy can attack at any time when we are off guard.

“Iya”.
