Princess Altrelia
25: Alstrelia

“Alres, what are you thinking?” Ask Arsela.

The two of them are currently sitting together on a park bench. 

“Only about the results of the meeting.” replied Alrescha briefly. “Why can you be here too?”

Arsela who was posing on Alrescha's boat, then replied, “Because I coincidentally had a tea time invitation from the princess, I went with my father to come here.”

“So yes.” replied Alrescha coldly. 

“ Arsela Meilrik Alrescha, and asked again. “What will you stay here?”

“Yes. For at least two days or three days, why?” Alrescha returned Arsela's warm gaze.

“Because we're engaged, and we happen to be here, what if tonight we go to a restaurant for a date together?” arsela said, offering a date to Alrescha who habitually has a busy work. 

“ Alrescha initially fell silent to think for a moment. ‘Dating.’ seconds her heart. Alrescha actually never thought to date with An Arsela because of the demands of the job.

Then from where the beginning of him can get acquainted with Arsela, and have a relationship to this stage?

It has happened since I was in the Academy. Besides because Arsela is a good woman, for Alrescha, Arsela is a woman who according to him is very understanding. 

“What's the night you have on schedule again?” asked Arsela, when he saw Alrescha who could not answer him directly.

Arsela closed her eyes for a moment, then answered her, “Not really.”

“Then, later tonight we go huh? We celebrate our engagement.” Persuade Arsela to Alrescha again.

“Alright.” replied Alrescha while gently stroking Arsela's head. 

Although his body was sitting and accompanying Arsela, unfortunately, all the thoughts that Alrescha had were always directed to Alstrelia. ‘Is he still in town?’ 

____________

“Is there anything else you want to buy?” bargain Elbert upon seeing that Altrelia was actually able to eat all that much bread alone, after which ten chicken skewers, not to mention dessert.

“Minum.” says Altrelia briefly, after devouring dessert with a few mouthfuls only.

“......................!” Elbert only realized, if Alstrelia did buy a dessert to be eaten alone, but at the same time he did not see this woman enjoying drinking water, because it had not been bought. “What do you drink?”

“A orange juice, definitely delicious.” said Altrelia, devouring one more slice of bread into her mouth.

“Have eaten that much, is it still not full?”  asked Elbert while pointing at the menu of the drink that wanted to be ordered to the waiter who accidentally passed by earlier.

“Why? If you are hungry, order. But you want to pay this for me again, right?” ask Altrelia.

Elbert took out a brown pouch and gave it to Alstrelia.

“Actually this includes your pocket money. Just use this.” said Elbert, giving an explanation of the origin of the money that Elbert brought and he used earlier to pay for the bread purchased by Altrelia.

‘This is actually pocket money belonging to Miss Altrelia, because it is not used, you can use it.’ that is what Elbert said to Alstrelia who is in front of him.

“Where else is it going?” while putting the money back in his pocket, Elbert offered Alstrelia a place to choose for herself.

“City library.”

“This is his order.” a waiter came to bring him a drink of Elbert's order for Altrelia. After delivering the order, this waiter immediately withdrew from there.

Alstrelia who had the arrival of his drink, immediately drank it until it ran out. “Ah~ For this drink, I praise because it suits my taste.” said Altrelia after successfully chugging away the orange juice in a short time. “Come go.” 

‘This she, why not eat wearing ethics?’ Elbert grumbled in his heart as he glanced at the other noble ladies who were eating with great elegance, but unfortunately not for that woman in front of him.

“Why are you so silent? Don't you want to accompany me to the library?” ask Altrelia. Now the look on his face that originally showed a happy feeling of finding orange juice according to the taste of his tongue, immediately ended with a displeased look at Elbert who actually looked at him with a serious look, sometimes I look the other way. 

‘Ah! I feel very anxious to close his mouth that chatty.’ the crossbow on Elbert's forehead has appeared completely, because it must withstand the anger of his pent-up regret. “No.” ketus Elbert so must be patient Elbert's heart to serve this one miss.

“ Alstrelia for a moment still gave Elbert a probing look, but all that soon disappeared after Altrelia saw Elbert's forced smile that appeared to look funny. “You must be swearing at me from behind, right?” terkah Altrelia's.

“..............!” Elbert immediately replied, “No, why should you also complain?”

“Am I not too demanding?” Alstrelia then walked next to Elbert. 

At first glance Alstrelia saw this man, because it had a decent body to attract the attention of the young women around him. Even Altrelia herself was actually quite interested, but unfortunately it was just a feeling of liking because Elbert was lucky enough to have a decent face. 

But in order to avoid the feeling that would continue to grow if she looked at him continuously, Altrelia immediately turned her eyes again towards the front while saying: “Government is my habit, you must understand that. But I will not blame you for swearing about me who talks a lot, because basically I myself am aware of what I do with my mouth.”

“If you are aware, what is not terbesit about the feelings of your opponents?”

“Ha?” Alstrelia immediately revealed a wry smile. “Feelings? If the interlocutor is me, then everything I say comes from my own rational mind. If I speak with feelings, it feels like I'm harboring everything, what I want to say, so it can't be said. That would create a misunderstanding that I think sucks.”

What would happen if a person spoke without thinking about the feelings of the interlocutor?

Elbert really should be able to set his own heart if he had to face a person like this Altrelia. Wh why?

Because she is a woman who will not speak by relying on feelings, but her own logic.

“By kar-”

DEG!

".............!" Altrelia who sensed something unexpected instantly pulled on Elbert's robe a second time quite forcefully.

Elbert who was about to walk away was his body immediately pulled by Altrelia.

"UKH…!" Elbert staggered slightly back, and almost fell down as his robe was again pulled by Altrelia. "W-what's up?" he asked, looking at Altrelia who suddenly stopped walking. ‘Why did his facial reaction instantly change like that?’

Altrelia looked at Elbert with her serious face, then pulled back the Elbert robe to allow the man to bend his body more and equal the height of Altrelia.

"There's an emergency!" Alstrelia's whisper was right in Elbert's ear.

'Emergency?!' elbert's heart.
