I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 37

A full day of Azra was nowhere to be seen. Even in his room he was not there, where did he go? For now, the only ones who know Azra is missing are Zeria, Eric, Arin and Lucas. Because the situation was still not urgent, Zeria decided to look for Azra in small detail first.

The four of them were confused, no longer knowing where to look. All corners of the Princess Palace and the Prince had been traced, but Azra remained absent. And if they entered the main Palace without any clear purpose, they would only attract attention and would instead be suspected by Louise.

“There is a development?” Ask Zeria. For a time, Zeria would not return to her room first and would stay in her private Library.

The purpose of Zeria's stay in the library was to find out all about Count Claes' family, the Azra family. Does his family have enemies and the enemy kidnaps Azra for revenge? Or many other things.

“For now there is still no”, replied Lucas, he had even searched for Azra in his palace four times repeatedly. But apparently, Azra was not in his palace.

“For this time, Arin and I will search outside the palace. It is possible that he is in the village or urban area around” Eric said, because there is a possibility that Azra is no longer in the Imperial Palace.

The idea that Eric proposed was actually not bad either, and if they were to search out the Palace, they would also not be harmed. “Alright, I leave the one outside to you both. I'll go into the main Palace with brother.” Zeria.

“Eh? But in“- Arin wants to tell Zeria not to go from the Princess Palace, because outside of the Princess Palace, bad rumors about Zeria are spread where, where, and Arin is worried that Zeria is hearing bad rumors about her. Eric stopped him and shut his mouth.

“why Arin?” Zeria wondered what Arin was going to say.

“No, not what” Eric let go of his hand that shut Arin's mouth, “Don't tell him, Arin. Don't tell me to go through the telepathy too, let them both hear the truth about all the two-faced people there” Eric threatened Arin while holding Arin's shoulder very hard. Because if Lucas heard anyone talking about Zeria, he would have been very angry and ended up eradicating everyone who dared to speak ill of Zeria.

“That's it? Then I go first huh, see you later today” Zeria extends her hand with a smile on her face, and walks towards the door followed by Lucas behind her.

The two of them walked out of the library quietly, after hearing the sound of the library door being closed again, Arin and Lucas immediately spoke again. “Why can't I say?” Arin threw out Eric's hand which grabbed him tightly earlier.

“Leave it. Let all those who dare to speak ill of Zeria without any evidence, be removed. That way, surely no one will dare to talk about it” Eric said.

Hearing Eric's words that were quite convincing, finally Arin just kept quiet and followed his plan. They did it all for the good of Zeria. As they begin their respective duties, Eric and Arin go out of the Palace silently through the back door, while Zeria and Lucas enter the main Palace brightly.

And sure enough what Eric said, when Lucas and Zeria had already started to enter the main Palace area, many servants were looking at the two of them with an uneasy look. Zeria could hear the servants' words clearly because of her hearing, but it didn't seem to be with Lucas.

“What the hell is this? Why did the Princess go to the main Palace? Though he never came out of his palace after his first birthday” Whispered a servant from a distance away from them. The servants spoke of Zeria, but Zeria paid no heed to it.

Zeria herself knew that there were actually a lot of bad rumors about her. People who know the true nature of Zeria are very kind and loving are just people who work in the Princess Palace, and people out there are still many who think that Zeria is a Princess who has a bad and arrogant nature.

“His foster mother must have wanted to kill him because of his very bad and arrogant nature right? Just look, now he doesn't even pay attention to everyone who has greeted him” said another waiter. Along the way he only heard bad words about himself, but he still did not ignore them at all.

Zeria actually felt astonished, where did the rumors come from. Is that a rumor that just popped up because she was the only Princess? Or someone spreading it? “Wah, how dare they talk so. Well I don't mind if there are bad rumors about me, anyway I don't care about other people's thoughts towards me” Thought.

The two of them scoured the main Palace meticulously without anyone being missed. They checked every room, every corner and asked some people, but still Azra was not there, not even anyone saw her. Eventually, they meet Louise.

“Dad?” Zeria said, they accidentally passed each other while circling the garden near the Louse workspace.

“What are you doing here?" Louise asked as she lifted Zeria high up.

“That blonde hair? It seems like I saw him go out of the Palace through the back gate with the black-haired girl who is often with you” Louise replied as she lowered Zeria slowly.

“Be-so?”

“We were looking for Azra” Lucas suddenly spoke, and it made Zeria surprised.

“Kakak!”

“Tak what Zeria. It's been two days he's not seen, it would be bad if we wait any longer” Lucas' speech makes him silent, Zeria can't answer. Lucas' words are correct, it could be that Azra is in danger right now.

“Azra? Children who work at Zeria Palace in exchange for their mistakes first?” Ask Louise to make sure.

“Iya” Reply Zeria lethargic.

“The child is missing? Or run away?” Louise asked again.

Zeria and Lucas fell silent, not knowing what to answer. “I don't know, since we had a fight the day after, he didn't come back until now” Zeria remained calm, he endured all his guilt at that time.

“Broke? We'll discuss that later. I'll help you find him, Razel and William I'll send to find the boy, they're both very trustworthy people compared to anyone.” Louise. Louise very confidently sent the two of them, “Then, father go first. You hurry back to your palace, it's so cold for you, isn't it?”

Hearing Louise's words just now, Lucas realized that his sister was very weak against the cold. And right now, in the main Palace the temperature was colder than the Princess Palace. “Come back” Lucas immediately cradled Zeria and ran as fast as possible to go to the Princess Palace.

“Eh?!" Zeria was surprised that Lucas arrived to carry her, "Dad, see you again!” Zeria shouted to greet him because Lucas had run away carrying him.

Seeing Zeria yelling greetings when it was far away while shouting, makes Louise think that Zeria is really like a girl in general, “I'm glad you could survive until now” Thought Louise with a smile on her face and hands to Zeria who began to drift away.

Lucas continued to run up to the main Palace park non-stop, and they would teleport. Teleportation magic itself could not be done in a crowded and narrow place, because the range of this magic was quite wide, so to use it would of course have to be in a spacious and quiet place.

Lucas took out his teleportation stone which turned out to be a gray brooch, then he read the spell and, they instantly arrived at Zeria Palace in an instant. Actually Zeria's own body already felt very cold, but he held it in order to continue looking for Azra. Their current search, however, is fruitless.

Lucas teleported directly to the library, because the only place that had a fireplace in Zeria Palace was just the Library and the kitchen, “Are you okay? Your face is a bit paler than it was” Lucas still carried Zeria and walked closer to the fireplace.

Although the Princess Palace has been given magic to keep warm, but the fireplace is still needed, because sometimes cold temperatures can still enter.

“Nothing, just a little cold” Zeria rubbed her hands near the fireplace to make it feel warmer.

At the moment Zeria's mind is in a complete mess, the puzzle of life given by Eric still has not found a bright spot. And now there are even new problems again, but from some things that Zeria already knows after investigating the disappearance of Azra there is one thing that he knows, “Kak, the family of Count Claes is famous for being neutral. So there is no way the family has enemies” said Zeria.

“Neutral does not mean it is impossible to have enemies, but if they are neutral, meaning there is no way anyone who grudges with their family and then kidnaps Azra” Lucas began to look for a theory that fits with the information Zeria gave, neutral does not mean no enemies at all, it does not mean no enemies at all, but there is no possibility that Azra was kidnapped by the enemies of their families.

“Then, there is only one possibility.” Zeria looked at Lucas seriously, and it seemed like what Zeria was thinking, was the same as what Lucas was thinking, “Perhaps, the problem was not with the Claes family's enemies, but rather on the Family itself”
