Princess Altrelia
41: Alstrelia

DRAPON…..DRAPON….DRAPON…..

In that vast prairie, dozens of horses of various species and colors, ran in the form of groups.

“Hyah...!” one horseman kept chasing the pack so as not to make the formation break at once in order to avoid one of the horses escaping.

NGIK BRRR'S…

“Hyah.!” this horseman continued to control the horse he was riding to go to the other side of the group of horses that had already been successfully formed.

DRAPON......DRAPON…..DRAPON….

“Hyah..!”

GECK….TAK….GECK…..TAK……

Finished guiding the dozens of horses to form a group, this man immediately went towards a single tree that stood firmly in the middle of the safana field.

“Hah~ Hot once.” complains this man after successfully getting off the black horse he was riding. “But in a moment, they have to go back to the stable.” he said, in a soft tone while watching the dozens of horses he was dealing with alone.

“If tired, yes break.” until one successful voice surprised him.

“Ha?!” suddenly this man was immediately shocked, until his intention to sit under a tree, he immediately paused it because suddenly someone appeared from behind a tree. “Who ka-” sentence disappeared after the woman in front of him immediately interrupted his speech.

“Who else if not me. The man who drank ice water from your glass. Altrelia.” replied Altrelia with respect to the man who works as a knight. 

Just because the mood was good, Altrelia gave the most polite greeting as well as a reminder of their first meeting.

Aware of who the strangely dressed woman in front of him was, this knight hurriedly bowed respectfully as well as apologized. “M-forgive me who didn't know you back then.” 

Altrelia only glanced at him at a glance while answering. “I'll tell you, because you must be a new knight right?” 

“Eh? Th-that's right. I recently entered into the army of Fisher knights, and at that time I happened to meet you for the first time.” added this knight. 'I just realized it. Even though her clothes were strange like that, she still looked beautiful and felt like a leader.'

“Do not duck like that, lift your head.” command Altrelia.

“Iya.” directly stand straight back. 

While walking towards the knight, Altrelia again asked, “What's your name?” 

“Jolie.” he replied, glancing at Altrelia who was walking past him.

“Hm...” in the position of turning his back on the knight named Jolie, Altrelia was actually smiling gently because she could hear a unique name for a name from a man. “Alright Jolie, can you teach me to ride this horse?” 

“Ya?” Jolie who felt her hearing was problematic, so it automatically re-confirmed.

“I want to ride a horse.” replied Alstrelia again to make it clearer, if her current desire for the Jolie knight is to ride a horse.

“T-but miss, it's a-!” Jolie who immediately lost her words because she saw that Altrelia had started trying to ride the horse that Jolie had used, immediately made Jolie run. "That thing is very dangerous!" jolie reminded Altrelia with a firm tone.

"What'sthis? Horse riding is just like this?" asked Alstrelia, not paying attention to Jolie's warning because she had managed to ride a horse.

"Yes." Yeah." Joie looked at him with her head full of question marks. 'Miss says she wants to be taught, but I haven't taught her how to ride a horse, she's already climbed first.'

"Then what else?"

Inside the imperial palace.

That morning all the heads of the family from the Duke to the baron, they all gathered together and were already sitting in front of the dining table that had quite a long table, which was, it can accommodate more than 20 people on each right side and left side.

Although each seat has been arranged for each head of the family, here Alrescha actually sat on the chair from the last row.

However, no one took up the protest of Alrescha's desire to sit far away from the emperor's majesty.

"Your honor regarding last night's incident, you must immediately find the mastermind behind the explosion. Many victims te-" 

"It's the dinner table, you guys sit down just to eat. Not to discuss the problems that are happening." interrupted young man in his early 20s who sat this seat at the very end. He was the emperor of Regalia. 

Chavire Von Argelia.

At his young age, he had already served as emperor after the previous emperor died of age, also due to illness suffered. 

Chavire has not long been crowned emperor because the procedure for his promotion was delayed, especially plus half a year ago there was a war on the western border with neighboring countries. 

In addition, Chavire in the eyes of other nobles is like a bud that has just grown but has been forced to hit the storm.

That's why there are still many nobles who feel reluctant if the current emperor is Chavire because they consider the death of the late emperor was due to being killed by Chavire. 

Who would not have thought of it that way, if looking handsome Chavire was like a ruthless man thirsting for blood as well as power, and plus the glare of his sharp eyes, as if what he was staring at was his own enemy.

“Before you go home, we have breakfast first. Because maybe someone can't wait to go home, right Duke Fisher?” Chavire just glanced at the silent Alrescha without saying much it was staring at his empty plate. 

“Why do you think like that?”

Chavire raised her fork, then she hit the tip of the fork into her wine glass, until a twang immediately filled the dining room.

TING!

CLOAKS.

The rows of servants brought various dishes for the emperor as well as the other nobles, immediately entering with neat rows.

“Just guess it, or am I right? Alrescha.” Chavire only looked at Alrescha with a light gaze, as her gaze was immediately sidetracked with her morning breakfast. “Maybe, you're worried about your sister, right, if left too long? What's name?” 

Alrescha is reluctant to answer questions from Chavire.

Therefore, one of them answered him immediately. “His name is noble Altrelia.” 

“Oh right, Marques' memory is great. If you don't say it, I'll never remember his sister who goes by the name of Altrelia.” even though Chavire wears a friendly smile, but not with every word that comes out of her mouth.

For Alrescha, Chavire was making a plan. That is why, in the calmness of Alrescha who chose to sit still, behind the palm of the table that lay at the dining table, his hands were clenched tightly.

“ She felt unacceptable because Chavire who was sitting at the end of the dining table, mentioned the name of Altrelia with that mouth. 

Wh why?

Because 2 months ago, when Altrelia was at Chavire's sister's birthday party, Chavire made a case with Altrelia in public, to make Alstrelia already feel reluctant with all the invitations she received, because Alstrelia already has a major trauma to Chavire.
