It's getting dark, it doesn't feel like night has come. Alin realized he had not yet taken a shower. He also wants to take a shower.
"I'm gonna take a shower first. Have you taken a shower?" ask Alin.
"already" answered Luke coldly.
"I'm gonna take a shower, don't peek!" Alin.
"hm"
Alin then went to the bathroom, and took a quick shower. A few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom in a white dress.
"so long" luke complained.
"Over your nutmeg, only 10 minutes I went to the bathroom" said Alin annoyed.
"That's it"
"I'm hungry, let's eat" Alin asked.
"alright" Luke answered and stood up.
Alin held Luke's hand. As he clasped his hand, he felt Luke's hand slightly cold.
"Why are your hands cold? are you sick?" ask Alin.
"it's okay, I'm fine" Luke replied.
Alin thought about last night, thinking Luke would be like last night.
"Tonight don't take my hands off, okay?" Alin.
"hm"
The two of them went to the kitchen to eat together. Along the way the servants and bodyguards only watched them with their heads bowed. They dared not say a word, for they knew about Luke's story on the eve of the moon festival.
All the guards and servants, neither greeting nor reprimanding them. They fear misfortune like the bodyguards and servants who tried to stop Luke 2 years ago. The servant and the bodyguard tried to calm Luke down, but Luke immediately slashed them with his sword.
*in the kitchen
The servants and cooks who were there were also just like those outside. They just kept quiet and watched from far away.
But when they saw Alin and Luke enter hand in hand, they were stunned. No one dared to disturb Luke on the eve of the moon festival, but Alin even held his hand. They concluded that they had a relationship that was more than a friendship.
"what's going on?"
"Did princess Jiu and prince Luke have more of a relationship than a friend?"
"Princess Jiu is so brave!"
"Wine! Princess Jiu may be in danger"
Whisper them all to the others. They all whispered quietly so that Luke and Alin could not figure out what they were talking about. But Alin already knew it would be like this, but they both ignored him.
"Sir Gendi." call Alin.
"What's wrong with Jiu's daughter, is there something I can help her with" The chef approached Alin and Luke with his pale face, he was very frightened.
"please get us some food" Pinta Alin.
"well" answered the chef and left in a hurry.
A few minutes later 2 maids approached them with food and milk for the two of them. The two of them ate while chatting regardless of the people who were talking about them.
After they finished eating they came out of the palace kitchen and were walking in the corridor. The palace was a little quiet as most of them went out into the streets to enjoy the moon festival.
"Huftttt.. was very bored." murmured Alin complaining.
"how about we go out on the street?" alin asked, hoping Lukas would approve.
"no, we're just in the room" Lukas refused without thinking.
Luke simply kept silent not answering Alin. Alin was eager to see the moon festival that Lina told him so often. Alin tries hard to persuade Luke to go to the festival.
"Come on. This must be fun" Alin persuaded again while pushing Luke out of the palace so they could go to the moon festival.
* rural roads.
"Wooahhh is very good, try to see it" cried Alin excited when he saw a cotton candy in the shape of a panda.
He bought two cotton candy bars for them both. Alin had saved up the money Lina often shared for him in order to go to the festival. Alin ran around here and there on the streets, making Lukas lose it every once in a while.
"Don't stay away from me" Luke said coldly as he held Alin's back neck as he wanted to leave again.
"oh yes sorry.. hehehehe" said Alin.
Luke then took Alin by the hand so that he could not be separated from Alin again in this crowded street. They walked together, ate snacks together and watched shows together.
Until something catches Alin's attention, Alin sees a stall selling cute Glom. Alin wanted to buy it but the money wasn't enough. Lukas knows that Alin is interested in something new like Glom.
"nggg.. it's a pity" muttered Alin disappointed. He pulled Luke's hand to leave. But Luke pulled him towards the field again.
"Take it" said Luke.
"Huh?" alin asked still did not understand.
"just take the Glom you want, I'll pay for it." Luke said at length. He had to explain it so Alin could understand. But he was actually very lazy to explain at length.
"can?" ask Alin again, making sure.
"hm"
"hmmm which is well" muttered Alin confusedly choosing.
But his attention was immediately focused on a Glom in the form of a fox child in the bottom right corner of the shelf. He chose that too.
"sir, I want the fox Glom over there" Alin said as he pointed at the Glom.
"But princess... Glom is not talented, he has not studied any magic" the seller told Alin.
Alin who heard that felt sad, instantly his cheerful expression suddenly turned into a frown. Luke felt unbearable and defended him.
"Let him have it sir. It doesn't matter, we'll teach him" Luke defended him.
"errr... alright then"
The seller then put the Glom into a cage that can be carried and Luke paid for it. Alin was very happy that day, along the way he noticed the Glom.
"You're so cute, what name suits you?" muttered Alin while staring at his Glom.
"What must be Carikan is also a name that matches his appearance" Sahut Lukas replied to his murmur.
"right! what about Viko?"
"not bad" praise Luke.
They also look for a place to relax while looking at the moon. They were sitting on a cliff not too far from the crowd. The view of the moon from there is beautiful.
Luke also felt a little relaxed at the festival that month. In the last 3 years she has never celebrated a moon festival since Anita left her.
"how? it's fun, isn't it" Alin asked Luke's opinion
"not bad"
" thank you for accompanying me tonight" Lukas said in a somewhat quiet voice.
"it doesn't matter to me, I'm actually indebted to you" Alin said.
"It's true, but this time I'll owe you." Luke also.
