As Joan was about to answer the first prince's invitation, Andi's voice interrupted their conversation.
"There was no need to take him to the Imperial garden, the first prince. The garden in Genteng village is much more beautiful than that garden and the Great Princess cannot accompany you for a walk because she is not a relaxed person like you".
Joan felt the smell of vinegar in Andi's words, she was amused and happy to hear the jealous tone of Andi's words
Unexpectedly, the first prince did not get angry hearing the third prince's words, instead he casually replied.
"Thank you, I'm very curious then. May I visit Genteng village in person to see if it is true that Genteng village park is more beautiful than the imperial park ".
Andi was a little stunned to see the first prince so calmly answering her, usually she was easy to get angry when talking to him. This is totally unexpected.
Of course Joan could not refuse the request of the first prince who wanted to visit the village of Genteng.
"Please, whenever the first prince wants to come visit, we welcome".
"Thank you, alright then, I won't bother you guys anymore, I'll excuse you, salute the beautiful ladies ".
The first prince answered Joan's words politely, he stood up, saluted the young women there, and then he, with graceful steps like a prince, departed from them.
Almost all of the young women were fascinated by how polite the first prince was to treat them. Although they hoped that the first prince would glance at one of them and take him away but they could feel that the attention of the first prince was only directed towards the Great Princess only.
Inevitably it caused envy in their hearts, how could the Great Princess who looked mediocre, not displaying the elegance of a Royal Princess, not be, even just having a standard beauty could make the first and third princes compete for it.
As the young women were still staring at the first prince's back which was getting further away. Andi held Joan's hand, pulling her up with him.
Joan immediately saluted and said goodbye to them. He then went with Andi to leave the banquet. The banquet ended on its own when Joan left the place because the banquet was indeed held for Joan.
Melly, Bai Ji Gur and Mona say goodbye to Joan. Mona has no interest in Andi after learning that Andi is the third prince, moreover she also sees that Andi looks so in love with Joan.
In the carriage that brought them back to the house of the concubine Ouyang, Andi asked what the first prince was talking about.
"Yes jealous".
"Ah no, just want to know".
"There's nothing to talk about, just a light conversation".
"It's just how long the journey to the village of Genteng and what we have there".
"Ehm".
"Nothing is important ".
"Oh yes, before when you left, he had already come to me. Ask about your relationship with me and ask about your health condition"
"Continue".
"Yes I answer that our relationship is fine, your health is also good, you have recovered from your illness and have been very strong to lift the tree".
"Lifting trees?".
Andi scrunched her forehead hearing Joan's words.
"Yes, he asked if you could lift your tree, I told him you were very strong three times a day lifting the tree".
Joan noticed the look on Andi's face that looked like she had a stomachache.
"Why you?".
Andi realizes Joan does not understand the term often used by men in the country, she feels something funny has happened between Joan and the first prince. Holding back his laughter, he kept asking.
"Then what happened".
"Well he left in a hurry, it seems he was very angry because his face looked bad".
Joan paused for a moment, before continuing.
"But not long after that he came back with a washed face and looked freshly changed. He looked happy and calm, the first prince then asked politely for permission to be able to sit with us".
"Any, that wasn't his style all along".
Andi looked at Joan with a look that sought out the truth.
"Why are you looking at me like that. It's not what you thought it was. I didn't do anything to him".
Andi did suspect a little that Joan was already influencing the third prince, otherwise!, why did she look like a different person.
Hadn't the bad guys who met Joan would have changed her character after being influenced by Joan, so she thought the first prince was also influenced by Joan.
"Oh not yet, I think you've influenced him, it's also good that you've influenced him".
"The first prince didn't do anything excessive to me, how could I influence him".
Joan answered, and she continued.
"It's a little strange to see the change but it doesn't seem like he meant any harm to me. I just felt that the first prince just wanted to get closer to me, even though it was also a strange thing because he had obviously previously subdued that he didn't like me".
"Want closer to you! I won't allow you to get close to him. You're mine!".
Along those words, Andi pulled Joan into his arms. The unprepared Jaon was shocked by Andi's actions. In his anger and anxiety that Joan would be attracted to the first prince, Andi asserted her ownership of Joan by kissing her strongly as if to unite Joan with her.
Joan was running low on oxygen, andi kissed her for a little while before she let go. Joan's face flushed red and fiercely, she said to Andi.
"You promised not to kiss me again suddenly and gently. Look at my lips getting a little swollen, how can I face aunty with a face like this".
"I'm sorry, I got a little carried away by my emotions. I'm afraid you'll be captivated by the charm of the first prince and leave me".
"How could you not be so confident. Look, what's so special about me that the first prince will be attracted to me".
Said Joan.
"Oh Joan you are very special to me, there is no other woman in the whole world who is like you. I'm so fascinated by you. How do you say you're not special".
"Gombal ".
Joan smiled shyly at Andi's words while lightly hitting her chest.
"Hold your word, if you glance at another girl. I'm gonna go leave you".
"No, I wouldn't dare and neither would any other woman be able to attract my attention anymore other than my mother and sister".
Andi.
"You can't be trusted, you said it was just me, your mother and sister. I see there are other women close to you".
"Who?".
His face was confused, and he raised two fingers of his right hand to swear.
Joan laughed, she was just teasing Andi, who knew she was so serious about responding to him.
Joan pulled Andi's hand and said.
"Already, I believe in you but it's true that there are other women who are currently close to you".
"Who?".
Confused, he could not guess who the other women were other than Joan, his mother and sister.
Joan laughed before she said it.
"That woman is my mother".
"Ha ha ha ha".
"
Joan continued.
