Ice Princesses
Karin Mahes

Letticia runs aimlessly. He watched every passerby closely, trying to find a woman with a birthmark on her neck.

"It's just that I'm looking one at a time like this. There are at least ten million people in Morton kingdom," Letticia lamented.

Feeling that her search was not coming to fruition, Letticia decided to take a break at a store. He ordered seblak and greentea. Letticia deliberately ordered greentea for a spicy remedy.

"I didn't expect there to be any seblak here either" Letticia murmured.

Seblak is one of Letticia's favorite foods. He even learned how to make it and managed to make exactly the same seblak as the one made by Nale after two experiments alone. Actually Letticia is not too strong spicy, but for him seblak is one of the foods that have a taste of 'spicy but delicious'.

"It's a cloth and greeneya," said the shop owner, giving a bowl of cloth and a glass of fresh cold greentea.

"Thank you bi."

Letticia eats it quietly. Occasionally he sipped greentea because he could not stand the spiciness of this. Seblaknya delicious, although not as good as made by Nalie.

Suddenly, Letticia's eyes focused on a single point. He looked at the seller's aunt's neck.

"Birthmark?"

...****************...

Upon returning to the room, Letticia took off her jacket and hung it neatly on the hanger. Then he threw himself on the sofa. Letticia took one of the cakes and ate it.

"Mr princess found a clue?" asked Catherine while sitting on the sofa in front of Letticia.

"Not really. But I found someone with a birthmark on the neck" Letticia replied. Then he turned his gaze to Lana, Letticia's assistant, "Find out all the information regarding the aunt of the food shop owner in Jiang's street."

"Well, princess," Lana replied with a bow, then left Letticia's room.

Letticia kept thinking about the seller earlier. Is it true that the good-looking, slightly fat aunt killed Aunt Bell and Aunt Ann? He doesn't look like that at all.

But according to the theory, the least suspicious person is actually the real culprit.

...****************...

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Lake in."

Lana entered Letticia's room, then approached Letticia who was sitting at her desk. He was busy working on the various documents piling up on his desk at the moment.

"I have gathered all the information about Karin Mahes as the princess requested" Lana reported.

Letticia immediately stopped her work. "Say."

Lana opens the document and starts reading the contents of the document, "Karin Mahes, her father is named Cordon Mahes and her mother is named Ran Mahes. His father and mother separated and left Karin, then 13. Karin was raised by her aunt, Jihan Cakra. Then he opened a food store and met Ian Corna. They married and had a son named Yuna Corna."

Hearing Lana's report, Letticia felt Karin was not the culprit at all. There is nothing wrong with Karin's background or her life story. She was just a child left by her parents, cared for by her aunt, then married and had a family. Nothing suspicious about this.

"It looks like he's not the culprit" Letticia murmured.

"I didn't find anything suspicious either, princess," Lana said. He had even searched all the way to his roots and Karin's background was indeed ordinary. Nothing special.

"Stop the search on her" Letticia said. He's sure Karin wasn't the culprit.

"Okay, princess."

After Lana left the room, Letticia held her head. He was thinking about this case. Does he have to look at every woman's neck one by one to find her man? That's not possible! It will take a long time if it is like that. And the culprit is not necessarily caught either.

"Don't push yourself too hard" said Amara. He felt a little guilty because Letticia was so serepot this because of his case.

"I'm not forcing myself," Letticia replied," But I really want to find this b*jangan."

Amara looked at Letticia inside. He knew, there would be no point in stopping Letticia at this time. Letticia will never let go of anyone who hurts those closest to her. And this one has even killed two of Amara's aunts. Letticia was obviously not even going to let this killer die quietly.

Suddenly, the door opened. Aldrian walked over to Letticia.

"Ekhm I go first" said Amara. He doesn't want to disturb. Amara came out and closed the door.

"Awas you Amara," said Letticia in her heart.

"What are you investigating?" ask Aldrian. He knew Letticia was investigating someone lately.

"It's none of your business" Letticia replied coldly. He doesn't like people who meddle too much in things that don't belong to him.

"Alright if you don't want to tell me. But if you need help, I'll help you" Aldrian said.

"Yes, yeah. Fast per-"

The cup!

Aldrian kissing Letticia's cheek. Then he just left, leaving behind the still dumbfounded Letticia.

"ALDRIAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Amara, the ladies and gentlemen, and a few servants immediately approached Letticia upon hearing her screams.

"What's up, princess?" ask Sarah to worry.

"Eh? N-nothing," Letticia replied nervously. The atmosphere was very awkward for him now.

"If there's nothing, we'll let go" Brianna said.

"Go."

After everyone except Amara left, Letticia covered her face with her hands. He couldn't imagine what Aldrian had just done. To Letticia's knowledge, Aldrian was a cold man who wasn't even interested in women, so some people called him gay. But what is this? Aldrian kissed her and just walked away?

Amara smiled amusedly. He had been quietly peering through the crack in the door. It was unexpected that what he did was not in vain. He had a very romantic and important moment. If there was a camera, Amara would have captured the moment and she would have saved it to look at and tease Letticia every day.

"He's going to pay for all this" Letticia said. Aldrian kissed her without asking for approval from the owner of the cheek. Who is not angry? Although actually other girls will be grateful and even ask to be kissed again if this happens to them.

"Hoho looks like you're having something great, man" Amara laughed.

Letticia stared intently, "You peeking?"

"Eh i-it..."

Letticia sighed. Where's he gonna put his face now?

"Hey just be grateful. I'll have Aldrian kiss me every day if I can" Amara comforted. Although his words did not comfort Letticia at all and even made her even more upset.

"Huh she just kissed me. Of course I'm angry" Letticia said. But in the depths of her heart, actually Letticia felt a very comfortable feeling when Aldrian kissed her earlier.

"Don't get mad. Maybe he likes you."
