Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
ENGAGEMENT
After that impromptu trial day, I always avoided meeting Sen and the princes on the grounds that I was tired and needed a break for my recovery from poison.
“Nona.. Your Majesty is in front.”.
“Kin, tell him I was sleeping the effects of the poison yesterday.”
“But.. Miss, Your Majesty.”
“So you still experienced the effects of the poison yesterday?” the voice I wanted to hear sounded right in my ear.
“Sen!! To.. why.. when did you log in?!”
“When your waiter says I'm in front”
“Kin!!”
“Sorry miss, I want to say that Your Majesty is in front of me, but miss cut it.”.
“Ya.yaa.. alright Kin.. You can go” Kin directly semit kelar from my room.
“So can you explain to me now what happened back then?”
“Hmm, as I said before I was chased, surrounded, and attacked by assassins, but managed to escape.”
“You left the palace without bodyguards and servants and then went into the forest?”
“Yaa. like that.”
“You came out of the palace even one of the bodyguards did not see it”
“I passed behind the prison.” my word plain.
“Ohh I forgot the way you escaped back then”
‘why I don't feel good’
“Hmm Sen I want to shower, so can you come out now?”
“Alright, don't forget you've been skipping madam class for a few days Vero” Sen said without any rejection makes me creep.
“Until when should I take Madam Vero class?”
“Until our engagement party” he said on the doorstep.
After Sen came out Kin helped me take a shower and get dressed for Vero's madam class.
“Hana.” Calista came over and hugged me. Ever since that hit man, Calista and the others have asked me nothing.
“Calista why are you here?” I asked to see Calista in Vero's madam class.
“What we don't look at?”
“Rey.. Zee too?” two princes were in the same room.
“You have come miss.” madam Vero approached me, “Today they will help you learn”.
“What? Why?”
“The engagement party will be held another week.”
“What? I don't know it.” I said confused.
“Emperor is going to have his engagement party with you one more week, he just announced it” explained madam Vero.
“Then? Why are they also in this class?”
“As already said, those who will teach you today”
“Learn what?”
“Of course dance.” Rey pulled my hand. I just realized this room is clean there is no table and chair in the middle.
“But why?”
“Because at the engagement party later you and the emperor will dance Hana” Calista said.
“Already let's just start” Zee directly start dance lessons. He's paired up with Calista and I'm with Rey.
When Zee and Calista dance looks like a couple dancing. ‘I think Zee really has feelings for Calista, unfortunately can not say directly because Calista's status is now her brother-in-law.’
“Do not think about anything else, you should focus on your dance, focus on your partner. Want to get to when you step on my feet” grumbled Rey who had how many times accidentally my feet stepped on.
The dance lesson was over and left a sore on my legs and waist.
“Nona where to go?”
“I just want to take a short walk Kin, I'll be right back to the room. Prepare tea and snacks”
“Good miss” Kin passed away.
I walked through the palace hoping to find a cool place for a short break. ‘Sen?’ it was Sen walking in front of me.
“hmm well passable..” I replied briefly, ‘why is it like something is stuck? Like I've been trying to say, but what? Ah yes I remember!’
“Sen! You never talk about our engagement party!”
“Hmm, really? Didn't I ever say it?” Perawang sen.
“When?”
“Last morning” the answer was short.
“Sen!! I even knew the party would be held in a week! You didn't ask my opinion at all!” my annoyance.
“For what? You do not need to prepare anything, everything is set”
“Of course I have to mentally prepare me!”
“Why?”
“How can I get officially engaged to the king i...” almost said the word ‘iblis’.
“King i?”
“ah haha the king of this palace.”
“There are you hiding?” Sen was still suspicious of my words.
“Ti..no.. it's just...” I deliberately hung my words to switch topics, “How about concubine Vera?” my connection.
“His sentence has been set.” Answer Sen, ‘lucky the topic diverted’
“What punishment?”
“He will be expelled from the kingdom and will be exiled and held in exile until a certain deadline”
“Bound time? When?”
“I have not set a time limit, maybe he will be there until the end of his life” said Sen casually. ‘he is really the demon king!’
“Sen are you nothing else to do?” my question, ‘I want him to quickly get out of my way.’
“Hmm... why? You want to kick me out?” the question is on target.
‘if you already know hurry scram!’ if only I could say that.
“No.. Would you like some tea with me?” elakku.
Sen smiled obliquely “Are you now teasing me?”
“What? nay! I'm just taking you for tea and talking just relax”
“Yes.yes well I understand, but I now have to attend a meeting with the nobles. I'll see you tonight.” He said then left while stroking the top of my head. ‘what is this why his touch makes me feel weird’
“Why doesn't he just refuse! Why say tonight!” I kept walking while walking. I paused my intention of going for a walk and returning to the room.
‘Hmm, this is prison?’ my feet instead stepped towards the prison. ‘rightly too, there were bad memories of me in prison when my back was whipped! There's no harm in seeing the devil for a while’ there are no guards in front of the prison, do they rest?
“So why are you doing this? why did you replace me?” maura's voice came from inside the prison. Looks like he's talking to concubine Vera.
“You are still in need in this palace. You're his concubine, you can still approach him”
“But how to live brother in seclusion later?”
“No need to worry, it will only last a while..”.
Not until I finish listening to them, the guards have already come, ‘actually where are they from?’
Maura got out of jail not long after the guards came, ‘and why should I hide?’
*****
Like what Sen said last night, he came to see me tonight. Kin made some tea and served some snacks and then came out of the room.
“Sen, is sending concubine Vera into seclusion the best?”
“I think for now it's the best.”
“Really?” I'm still in doubt because of their conversation in prison earlier.
“I'd love to hold his head!”
Tea that I screwed hard I swallow hearing his words, ‘engal? He really is devil’
“If she were to attempt murder against the royal family it is an absolute punishment for her, therefore I would like you to become my consort as soon as possible”
‘So because of this she did an official engagement suddenly’
“It looks like they will not stay silent, and will do even more dangerous things”.
“Well I know, sooner or later it will happen. But I won't let them succeed! This time I'm going to hit his head!” he said with great emphasis, demonic auras gathering around me.
