I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 38

The day at the Palace began to feel colder than before. The uniforms of the servants and knights began to change into thicker clothes. And winter was also an enemy to Zeria who was very weak against the cold.

“Three days. It's been three days, yet he hasn't returned yet. It is certain that he did not run away” Lucas said, while removing his tie.

Zeria is still constantly looking for the most reasonable possibility, “We go outside. Azra was already impossible to be inside Istas” Zeria walked towards the wardrobe in the corner of her room that only kept a small part of her clothes.

“You sure? Outside it's very cold, we can't just come out” Eric who has since just noticed, started talking up. Eric will always support Zeria's plans without a doubt, even if Zeria decides to betray his empire, Eric will continue to follow suit. But if his plan will instead bring him in danger, Eric can't follow it right away.

Zeria took two black and white fur robes from her closet and thrust them both at Arin. “You want what color?” Zeria asked, she completely ignored Eric's words just now.

“Black only. I've been wearing a white dress like this, if I wear a white robe I can also look the same as the snow on the streets” Arin take one of the robes that Zeria provides and wear it, too, “But exactly what do you have plans to invite to look for it outside the Palace?” Ask her, because Zeria must have prepared a plan.

“No” His reply was quick, precise and brief.

“Ha?” Say the three of them simultaneously.

“Yes, no plans. I'm just desperate because he's not in the Palace, so I want to look for him outside of” he said while wearing his robe and tying up his not-so-long brunette.

The three of them were surprised, a Zeria went away without making any plans? And again the reason is just from desperation? It doesn't make sense. But that was the only way, they had to go outside.

“Haa, alright” Lucas sighed, because if Zeria sudan decides something, he will never change his decision, “I will ask permission on father” Lucas walks near the door, but Zeria holds him back.

“Do not, if you say there is a father, it is certain that you will not be allowed”, he said, who continued to hold Lucas' arm.

“Then what about your escort?” Lucas turned his back and adjusted his height to Zeria.

Zeria simply remained silent without answering and glanced at Eric. Since Eric was his personal bodyguard, he did not need any more bodyguards. And Lucas really can't argue with Zeria anymore, “Alright, we'll go. But on one condition, don't stay away from me” Lucas put his finger on Zeria's forehead and slightly pushed it.

“Good!” The answer was without hesitation, because it was not something that was difficult to do.

“Oh yes, one more. We will disguise ourselves as ordinary people so as not to attract attention, so use the simplest clothes. That dress you're wearing will attract attention because there's a lot of gems, but the robe doesn't need to be changed.” Lucas opens Zeria's room door and goes to her palace to get everything ready.

“True yes too. Where there are ordinary people who wear dresses with many gems like this” Zeria noticed her dress in front of the mirror, and only realized that the dress is too luxurious for people to have, “Arin, and just realized that the dress is too luxurious for people to have, help me get changed. If I call the waiter, they'll suspect”.

“Alright, and you're a boy. Get out, do you want to see Zeria get changed?” Ask Arin. Though his intention was to tease Eric.

His face immediately flushed red after hearing Arin's words, “A-I'll be out! Anyway I also have to change my clothes” The talk is directly brick-styled because of embarrassment, “I go first” Eric again out of the window.

“Ah, Eric wait!” Call Zeria, but late, “Why did she get off? The room will be on the second floor and also only a short distance from here” Zeria confusion.

“Lah, true too. Looks like he was embarrassed to the wrong behavior so”

Arin begins to help Zeria change her clothes and take off all her accessories, dress up as simply as possible and not wear any accessories that look expensive. “Completed. But what the hell is this? Despite wearing the simplest clothes and not wearing any cases, you still look like Princess” Arin confused by Zeria's appearance, though Arin was concerned that the appearance of Zeria would be like ordinary people in general.

“Cheat, a beautiful person like you will still be beautiful even if dressed like anything, but not with me”

After a while, they regrouped in Zeria's room. “Already expected, Zeria still looks beautiful even if only wearing a ribbon in her hair” And somehow, Lucas even feel proud.

The four of them gathered in one place, and Lucas began to cast spells. Going outside using teleportation was the only way to go quietly without being discovered, their preparations were ripe, Lucas and Eric carried swords clad in their waists to keep watch, and Zeria took Arin.

In a matter of seconds they were already in a village, and they were moving in a small, deserted alley, no one saw them.

The village was a fair distance away from the Arendelle empire, because if they went to a village near the Imperial Palace, they would definitely be caught instantly. Lucas looked in all directions carefully to ascertain where they were now.

“It looks like we are in Akasha” kingdom territory Lucas said.

“Akasha? A kingdom destroyed by the deeds of its King? It was a pity for his family, just because he had a grudge against his father, the whole family and his people who suffered from Zeria” remembered vividly about King Akasha, the man who intended to kill him for his revenge on Louise, although it is still unknown what the cause of his revenge was.

“True, seeing from the very quiet environment and the building that was almost destroyed because it was not taken care of, it seems true this Akasha” Kingdom Akasha Kingdom was destroyed since six years ago, the, just as King Akasha's plan is revealed. And because the King and his family died, all the inhabitants of the kingdom had moved to another kingdom that still had a leader. And right now, the Akasha Kingdom was nothing but an uninhabited territory.

“What are we here for? Though here already uninhabited, how could Azra be here?” Arin looked in all directions and noticed the surroundings. But there was no one at all, and it was clear that this place was not suitable for habitation.

Lucas holds Zeria's hand and starts walking, while Eric and Arin follow from behind. “This place is Azra's hometown, it might be here” said Lucas who continued to walk slowly to adjust his steps with Zeria.

The snow in the area is quite a lot and cover the road because no one cleaned it. They continue to walk down a quiet and snowy road, until finally there are others who come from the opposite direction to them, “There are people” said Zeria. “Looks women? He was wearing a robe and hood, his face was invisible. From her height, she must be an adult woman” Thought Zeria.

“Excuse” Lucas said to the woman, “Are you a resident here?”

“No, I'm not a resident here. But I know the ins and outs of this region” replied the woman casually, judging by her way of speaking it seems like she is not a noble.

“Then, I want to ask you directions. Do you know the residence of Count Claes?”

“Yes, I know. From here you walk until there is a clock tower, the residence is on the left of the tower” replied the woman and walked away.

“Thank you!” Zeria said to the woman who started walking away, “Zeria! My name is Zeria!” He shouted loudly.

The woman stopped and turned her body, “Yura” The woman said her name, and suddenly the wind blew and flew the woman's hood. Her hair was as white as snow and her eyes were bright purple, and with a smudging smile on her face. And suddenly the woman disappeared like a snowflake.

“Cantik” Say Zeria.

“Really, but we focus first.” Lucas pulls Zeria by the hand and goes back to the Count Claes residence. And as the woman said, they found the clock tower and sure enough that on the left of the tower there was a residence that was still maintained and clean. It seems that Count Claes did not come from the Akasha kingdom and remained there.

The four of them stood in front of the gate and looked at the residence closely, and Zeria felt a very familiar aura, “Yet!”
