Princess Altrelia
72: Alstrelia
Maldeno, 20-year-old man. The only child of one of the new nobles, Maldeno Gervans Martieo.
Maldeno, a young graduate of the White Galdeon Star Academy. Although he was a graduate of the prestigious Academy in the Regalia Empire, and had abundant wealth, Maldeno had a pretty bad reputation that had begun to spread because he had been caught wet entering a brothel.
Much can be obtained if you have ever entered a brothel, a paradise of nobles and striped men.
‘It turns out there's a point in me hearing a bedtime story from Lena. But Maldeno, the person I told to drink my drink earlier suddenly died in the corridor?’ Alstrelia still closed her eyes.
Altrelia thought it was a drug that was related to increasing the arousal of a person, considering Maldeno had his own dark side because he had once entered the Bordil house. That's why Alstrelia who already knew her own drink had been put on the drug, she gave it to Maldeno himself to drink.
But who would have thought that Maldeno was dead?
‘Cat,’ Altrelia of course aware that there is another possibility that links the death of maldeno. A cat that brings a touch of death.
Ok.
Just deducing information from speech alone did not make Altrelia fully believe.
Dead or not, it can be proven if you have seen the body itself. And if he did die, then his death should be investigated whether because of drugs or because there were cat-related murders like the one that Altrelia killed some time ago.
That's what Altrelia's planning. Go to the scene of the crime.
But, right after Altrelia got out of her chair and was about to leave from there, the entire door from all sides of the Ballroom room suddenly closed.
PRONOUN….
PRONOUN…..
PRONOUN….
The sound of the locked door is a living proof that they're all locked up.
All the gazes that were originally fixed on Alstrelia, an accusatory gaze, were immediately swept away after they discovered their own panic of being suddenly locked up.
“K-why all doors in lock?”
“What are we now locked up?”
From one, two, three men and a growing number of noble women who showed their panic by walking towards all the doors that were there, but as expected, as expected, all doors were sealed and locked from the outside.
“Hei! Why in the lock! Where are the guards!”
Door bumps began to appear from all sides of the Ballroom room because of the actions of the women who were impatient to get out.
“Open!”
“What's outside no one?!”
BRAK…!
BRAK….!
Until the door is kicked though, the wooden door still shows to its kokokohannya.
“Where is His Majesty the Emperor?! Why has His Majesty never returned?”
The men tried alternately to break down the door, but the result was more or less the same, because it had a fairly sturdy door.
And all the chatter was constantly heard in Altrelia's ears. ‘Low, they are all panicking, suddenly confined.’
It's just not for one problem only because other problems eventually arise as well.
BRUK!
One of the guests suddenly collapsed.
"..............." Altrelia only glanced at him at a glance.
BRUK!
"Yeah!" The panic was increasingly peaking to see one by one people just fall down.
"Don't be in these foods and drinks there's poison!" One of the screaming women further added to the hysteria of the people by directly throwing away the food they brought to the floor.
Glasses, plates, trays, were thrown away so carelessly that they broke apart, and in droves they all ran to the door, to get out of there and ask for help.
"Hey! Open it!" A man tried to break down a glass door. But it turns out that even though it has been broken, the glass does not break at all.
How did that happen?
Especially if there is no intervention by the witch.
BRUK!
The more time passes, the more victims. Even the men who initially insisted on forcibly breaking down the door, ended up collapsing as well.
Meow~
The sound of the cat did not make everyone turn their eyes to look for a way out. Here only Altrelia stood quietly while watching their commotion, and finally came upon a cat.
Unlike what Altrelia found, her cat was black, the cat that appeared was gray and had a black striped, so it looked like a tiger.
“Why did the lights go out?!”
“Are we being targeted for murder by someone?”
One by one they were all rummaging in the pressure of his panic.
What can they do when they are locked in a locked room?
Lights out?
And-and
BRUK!
One that must have been slowly from all of them fell, until finally only Alstrelia was left standing.
Meow~
The still calm Altrelia looked at the cat with narrowed eyes.
Meow~
The cat's eyes turned out to be light, yellow eyes that both looked seriously at Altrelia.
CLOAKS.
One door suddenly opened, and presented a faint-looking person. Who was that person, Alstreila only found a black shadow.
“It turns out that only one person is still standing?” The distinctive hoarse and heavy voice of the male immediately burst into his sense of hearing Altrelia. “Aren't you Princess Altrelia her sister Alsrescha?”
After a while the man walked a few steps, the lights came back on.
Making the two of them finally find the figure of their respective interlocutors.
‘He, the man who at that time blocked the horse carriage when Bert and I came home from the Festival event, Arsene.’ With her memories still fresh, Altrelia was able to recognize the person who had suddenly appeared and was walking towards her. He was Arsene, who one week ago, had made the horse carriage that Altrelia rode stop in the middle of the forest.
‘She is prettier than the first meeting. This Alrescha really, why would he hide such a beautiful woman? Does he just want to enjoy it alone?’ arsene thought, admiring the appearance of Altrelia that could have changed drastically from the first night of her first meeting.
Meow~
The two of them finally both glanced towards the meowing cat.
“What is your plan?” ask Altrelia.
“Come on,” replied Arsene while shrugging her shoulders and revealing a smile.
Altrelia did not respond anymore and only noticed Arsene's neat appearance.
Unlike the first meeting, where Arsene looks like a bandit to kidnap a beautiful woman to play around and then sell, now Arsene's appearance was quite neat until Alstreila thought that the man in front of him was a noble. But Arsene didn't come empty-handed, because he was carrying a stick.
Whatever it is, Altrelia wants to get out of there.
That was what Astrelia had expected when she was about to take her first step. But he was immediately stopped by Arsene.
“Do you want to get in my way?” sue Alstrelia with her looks that still showed a calm face.
“Actually I don't want to block your way, but-”
BRACKET!
At the same time, dozens of Ballroom doors opened and included dozens of people dressed in all-black and mouth coverings, making their faces unrecognizable.
“Did you invite them?” lyrics of Alstrelia to Arsene who stood at a distance of 3 meters from where he stood.
“Come,” replied Arsene briefly with a happy facial expression.
“ Altrelia counted, as of now, 15 people.
“Capture Princess,” one of the people gave orders to his friends.
They all nodded together, and simultaneously ran down towards Altrelia.
‘So this is the goal?’ seconds of his heart, still standing and paying attention to everyone who is currently, Alstrelia has managed to make as her enemy.
SRIINGS…
Arsene, who had been silent, suddenly pulled the tip of his wand, which turned out to be a sword blade.
Alstrelia slightly lowered her head, until the bangs and fine strands of her hair slightly covered her pair of eyes. And those originally silent lips, slowly continued to pull the corners of his lips so as to form a crescent moon. “He~”
That smile grew into a sly grin.
“So this is a party that is intended for me?” muttered Alstrelia when she found out that she was the real target of all the dramas.
“You look happy.” said Arsene saw that beautiful smile turned like a slanted smile that looked as if he had just found an interesting toy.
“Who would be unhappy if someone else wanted to take me to work out for the night?” answer Altrelia. He did not stop his reply in such a low tone, as if he had been waiting for it for a long time.
