I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 32

“Hall very important!”

Zeria's tiny face still looked pale and looked powerless. Lucas and Azra were relieved by the fact that Zeria was just a symptom of fatigue. But Eric felt that something was strange, and it was related to Arin and the power of Zeria.

“Arin, let's go to the park for a bit. Follow me for the wind, here asap” Eric said while glancing at Lucas who was sitting next to Zeria's right.

Arin realizes the code from Eric, and follows it from behind. Because if there was Lucas next to Zeria, everything would be safe.

The two of them walked down the deserted passageway and almost no one else passed by other than the two of them. It was already very reasonable to feel, because not many people were employed in the Princess Palace. And again, most of the people working in the Princess Palace were people who were already experienced in the military and were ready to protect Zeria no matter what and no matter what.

It was Louise who had arranged all these things, and certainly without the knowledge of Zeria. After a short walk down the deserted hallway, they arrive at the back yard, where Lucas and Eric usually train.

“So, what's up?” Arin sat on the thick green grass and straightened his legs.

Eric watched Arin for a moment and sat down next to him “What important things have you not told Zeria?” Eric asked as he looked at the clear blue sky.

Arin responds to a question from Eric and turns to “You want to know?”

“Sangat” He replied with a very serious facial expression.

Seeing Eric's response so serious, Arin was happy and smiled. “Alright, I'll tell” Arin smiled, he was happy to know that Eric really cares about Zeria. “You know that Zeria is half human and half angel race?”

“Yes, I tau”

“Actually, since Zeria is not a whole race of angels, all the magic she uses will have side effects on her body. It doesn't matter if it's weak or strong magic. It is true that Zeria has unlimited mana, and others say that it is a very profitable thing, but behind it also magic that little by little hurt Zeria.” Arin paused for a moment to think about what else he should tell her.

“Ah, so that's why it was when you helped me, Zeria nosebleed to fainting?” Eric asked him to confirm what he knew.

“True. Zeria magic is a double-edged blade, on the one hand it is advantageous to be able to use it without having to worry about mana. But on the other hand it is detrimental, because every magic used always gives side effects. Because basically, angel and human magic cannot be united in one and the same container. But seeing him still alive until now alone has been a miracle, even though his body became much weaker than other normal humans.”

“So that's why he is always tired quickly after practicing magic?” Ask Eric.

“Yes, and I forgot to tell you such an important thing” Arin's face was gloomy, regretting the fatal mistake he had made.

Eric noticed Arin's gloomy face and returned to the sky, “Already, things that have happened let it happen. If he wakes up later, you just have to tell him. Easy right?”

Hearing that, Arin was silent for a while in awe. Arin stood up and shook his skirt to clean up the dirt on his skirt. Arin brought his hand closer to Eric's head and, ‘LETAK!’ Arin hit his head.

“ADUH! What the fuck are you, huh?!” Eric rubbed his head, the back of his head hurt because Arin hit him as hard as he could, “Fuck you”.

“Don't teach me” Arin slowly started walking away from Eric, “But, thank you” Her speech turned around for a while, then went back to walking.

Eric was silent at Arin's behavior. Unexpectedly, Arin who usually had a flat expression, turned out to be able to make such a relieved and sweet expression. “Wahh, I just found out that she can express like that”, she said, who saw Arin walk and start to move away, “But, as beautiful as any other woman, she said, Zeria remains the number one” she thought by scratching her head while smilingly imagining Zeria's face.

When Arin and Eric return, all that remains in Zeria's room are Azra and Zeria. Looks like Lucas went to the library, because he had hours of manners lessons.

“How is it?” Eric asked Azra.

“It's better. His face is also not as pale as earlier”, he replied while watching the face of Zeria who was asleep.

“Good then” Eric sighed in relief as his condition had gradually improved.

The two of them sat on the sofa while enjoying tea and biscuits while waiting for Zeria to wake up. They talk about things that teenagers of their age usually talk about, and over time their conversation begins to lead to rumors outside the palace and inside the palace.

Mood Arin and Eric were instantly damaged to hear that. Since Zeria was the first Princess born in the history of the Arendelle empire, Zeria was considered despicable to most of the empire's population, as well as its nobles. Want as good as Zeria's attitude to people, there are still bad rumors in her name.

“Ha! How dare they talk about Zeria in the main palace!” Eric was really angry if he heard anything related to the bad thing that concerned Zeria.

“Leave it! They did not dare to talk about Zeria in front of Eric, but they dared to talk about it in front of Azra who was nine years old? A coward! Just look, if I hear that rumor with my own ears, then at that time I will also exterminate that person” Arin only considers people who underestimate Zeria as a grain of dust that he can disappear at any time if he wants.

“You two calm down. Fortunately, the people who work in the Princess Palace are people sent directly by His Majesty, and people who have sworn allegiance to the Princess they serve.” Azra tried to incline the two of them by changing the topic in a more positive direction.

“True, we should be grateful for that. Do people out there think the same thing? Goddamnit! Look at it later, I'll kill people who dare to talk bad things about Zeria” and Eric really can't calm down anymore.

They continued talking until Zeria woke up, “Emm? What are you guys doing?” Zeria rubbed her eyes slowly and narrowed her eyes.

“Wahh, look at this. Our Princess is up” Eric teases Zeria a little.

“Hey, don't call me that. Emm, Azra's. Can I have a wet towel and cold water, please?” Zeria asked with her voice that still sounded hoarse as she had just woken up.

“Sure” Azra go get the thing Zeria asked for.

After Azra left, Arin went to walk near Zeria. “Zeria” Call it.

“Hmm?”

“There's something I have to say. You're completely aware of your sleep, aren't you?” Ask Arin slowly.

“Maybe?”

“Hmm, Mr. Princess there is something I have to tell you” Eric said to ascertain whether Zeria was conscious or not. Because if Zeria had been conscious, she would have been angry if called so.

“Eric, why do you talk back to how you used to?” Zeria glared at Eric while slightly threatening him.

“I'm sorry” And Eric regretted doing that.

Arin smiles to see that Eric's plan is successful, “So this is about your magic.” Arin explains to Zeria about the advantages and disadvantages he got from his magic.

Zeria who is clever and quick to respond, immediately understood with just one explanation from Arin “So that? It is fitting that lately my head often hurts and I get tired faster” Zeria moves her arms up and down slowly, like a bird.

“True, sorry I just said”

“Already. Anyway, I'm fine. But, does this thing put lives at risk?”

Zeria's question just hit Eric's mind. Why was that unthinkable to him? “Maybe?” Arin replied uncertainly.

“HAH? Arin says that's not true!” Eric held both of Arin's shoulders hard.

“Cannot. Because I am still not sure about the possibility that” Arin lowered her head and looked the other way.

“Eric, take it easy. I'm not gonna die that easy anyway, okay?” Zeria smiled, but did not look like her usual smile. His smile was painful.

“Ukkhh” Eric can't see Zeria's face like that, “Listen to me. From now on, don't use your magic only for unimportant things, okay?” Eric turned to Zeria and looked at her seriously.

“Yes, fine" he replied with a smile that still hurt.
