Princess Altrelia
83: Alstrelia

“Why are you following me?” asked Chavire with a fairly sharp nettle, because there was one foreign woman he just met, apparently following him from behind?

“The aunt said, the room is full, and it happens that the room that has two beds only lives this room.” replied this brunette to Chavire. 

“Why don't you look elsewhere?” Chavire still expressed dislike for the woman because she always behaved recklessly. 

“In the middle of the night like this? You're willing to let a girl like me alone look for lodging?” tell this woman.

“But-” Chavire watched the woman in front of him from head to toe. 

“But what?” ask the woman back with her innocent expression. 

“Men and women sleep in the same room? You sure?”

“ This woman just stood quietly in the doorway while hugging her own eagle. 

Seeing this, Chavire was surprised to see the expression of the foreign woman who looked like a person who really had no purpose, and only accompanied by an animal of his deviation. 

“Come in.” in the end Chavire's defensive wall to not make the foreign woman close to him, collapsed as well. 

“Yey,” with her happy face, the woman entered the room that was not how spacious it was.

‘He can be that happy?’ inner Chavire.

BRUISES.

When Chavire had closed the door to her room, she was immediately surprised by the woman who was already sitting on her bed..

“That's my place.” tell Chavire, that the bed located next to the window is hers.

“ The woman who was about to put her eagle on the bed immediately stopped her. “So yes?” he asked, with a guilty expression.

“ Seeing that happy face just disappeared because of the bed, again made Chavire not feel good. “No need to go. There,” said Chavire while rubbing his face violently. 

Chavire actually managed to get fooled by the woman's look of pity, and wanted to gain sympathy.

“Thank you,” replied the woman. Then put his beloved bird on the bed to sleep with him.

“...............”

‘Why does the bird keep staring at me? Did I offend her master, therefore she looked at me that sharp?’ thought Chavire, feeling disturbed by the sharp gaze of the Eagle-looking bird could indeed understand human language.

“You've allowed me to sleep here, it's not rude if you don't tell me your name?”

The woman who was about to take off her coat stopped her work and looked back. “Eldania.”

“Eldania? Don't you have a surname?”

“What does this have to do with the clan? You're just asking me what my name is, right? My name is Eldania, that's it.” he replied. 

‘The color of his eyes...., red? Many consider the color red eyes as the offspring of illegitimate children, and is mixed blood. He is considered a bad-ass carrier. That's a rumor I hear a lot. Is he an adventurer?’ Chavire at first glance only has rumors circulating without knowing the original story. So even Chavire had no feelings of resentment when she saw the brown-haired woman with ruby irises.

“Then you were alone?”

“I Chavire.” replied Chavire briefly.

“It turns out you are a person who has many sins.” Eldania chirped.

“What did you say?!” the crossbow on his forehead began to appear when his name was considered a great sinner.

“Yes..Chavire, where I call it is to call the great sinner. Am I wrong? We have a difference in perception, if it offends you, just assume not to hear it.” explained Eldania without noticing Chavire's face was half upset. “And her name is Everst.” Eldania stroked the back of the Eagle with anxiety.

It looked like the gaze of a person who was having a feeling of liking. 

‘But he likes birds?’ Chavire was more and more astonished.

“Let's sleep, tomorrow we take a long journey.” take Eldania to Everst who is still looking sharply towards Chavire.

“ Everst turned towards Eldania. Then when the woman was lying down, Everst also lay down beside her as well, and let her body become a cushion hug by Eldania herself.

‘Why since I've lived in this body, have I experienced such strange things?’ Chavire who was basically very tired, immediately threw his body onto the single mattress.

The atmosphere in the room became quiet.

After some time, Chavire again stole a look at Eldania who was seen sleeping quite soundly. ‘He's like a missing person. But I myself am also a person who lost my way. I should soon be able to return to Kaisaran, before the place becomes a mass grave.’

But all the thoughts that Chavire had digested, instantly disappeared as the corner of her eye again saw what she had never seen.

‘Is that a weapon?’ Chavire accidentally saw a blue item, and it was quite sparkling.

Kwak.

“..............!” caught gazing in a glance at the item tucked inside the pile of coat coats, Chavire hurriedly took the right side and slept back to Eldania. ‘Don't he bird the keeper!’ 

Sometimes there are some mystical animals that have more abilities than animals in general. And the animal is able to establish a contract relationship with humans. 

Therefore, this time Chavire thought that the Eagle was a guard bird that guards his own master.

‘Sleep only. Don't look back, don't look!’ unfortunately, Chavire's heart did not make her body completely detached from her curiosity. Chavire finally looked back as well, and….

The kwak!

“..............!” Seeing that Everst was about to fly towards Chavire, Chavire immediately woke up.

GREPS….

“What are you doing? Are you going to leave me again?” eldania asked, catching the bird's leg before it completely left her side.

“You haven't slept?”

“You haven't slept yet?” Eldania asked Chavire who looked shocked and half dead. 

Yep…

Who would not be surprised, if the eyes were closed, immediately opened with eyes that were quite cold. And plus, since Eldania had ruby-eye color, then her frightening impression instantly appeared for a moment.

“Are you scared?” asked Eldania softly. A very demanding question an answer from the interlocutor. “Are you now afraid of me, after my red eyes suddenly glared at you?” ask again.

“You're only a woman, what to fear?” to be honest, Chavire was still feeling half-fear.

Eldania surprisingly revealed a trivial smile to Chavire. ‘’Hah~ You turned out to be a pretty mature man than you look.”

“Not really.” Eldania turned to the window, where the sky was darker due to the arrival of gray clouds that brought rain. “For me, the name of the woman who was addressed to me is the nickname of a man who already had a wider mind. You-” though, his gaze looks like he's staring at the window, but the corner of his eye catches the wet Chavire who looks that dumbstruck. “Even if, your appearance looks like a man in general, but in my eyes the aura of yours looks different, and just like not a person from the ordinary.”

‘Dia-’ Chavire unconsciously so increasingly have hope for Eldania who turns out to have unusual eyes. Although, the red eyes were indeed impressed like a despicable person, but all of those impressions instantly disappeared as he finally looked into Eldania's eyes with a bold look. 

‘What does he know?’ the thought of his heart had one hope, that Eldania really knew that the person in front of him was indeed not an ordinary person, but an Emperor.

“I want to sleep, so don't ask me anything.” Eldania said as the conclusion of their conversation. 

“....................!” Chavire was again shown by a woman who just slept in front of his eyes. 

There was no sense of caution to him, as they both lived and slept in the same room. 

Chavire did not see that in all the movements of Eldania.

“Ehmm?” slowly the eyelids that were initially closed were opened. 

Chavire, he was in a sudden daze already awakened and stood somewhere else?

‘I where?’ thought Chavire, the first time she was in a foreign place was like being inside a big temple. 

Chavire slowly adjusted her eyes to catch the not-so-bright light. 

He kept watching his surroundings. There was a large pool of water pool in front of him exactly. But it turns out that his eyes did not just capture the view of the pond and the building with the tall pillars, because by chance Chavire vaguely saw someone standing across there.

‘Who?’ the curiosity in his heart came back. ‘He looks like a woman?’ 

Chavire slowly saw the shadowy figure walking towards the center of the building. 

‘In the meantime, why does it feel like he's familiar enough?’ not wanting to just be in the guess room guessing, Chavire was looking for a way to go there. 

He would see the mysterious person with his own eyes.

With those long legs, Chavire walked with wide strides, and had to walk around. 

But all his efforts to walk a little far, not in vain when finally Chavire can see the figure of a woman in a white silk dress. 

The woman had long black hair, and some accessories adorned her straight black hair. 

‘Who?’ Chavire slowly stepped away to approach the woman. Although, having to climb a few stairs, Chavire really could not take her eyes off, especially as she walked closer, she felt a very fragrant aroma like coming from the woman.

That was why, making Chavire even more interested in walking closer to him. 

“Who?” he asked, but his voice so soft as to ask immediately drew all conclusions belonging to Chavire.

“ Right after hearing that voice, Chavire immediately stopped her footsteps, right behind the woman.

Not long after, the woman turned around and immediately showed Chavire her face.

“Alstrelia?” Call Chavire with a stunned facial expression.

“You-?” the woman who was indeed Alstrelia, looked up slightly to see the face of the person who suddenly came towards her.

“Why are you here?” asked Chavire while slightly looking down. ‘P-wear it-’ 

Chavire immediately held back his own embarrassment when he saw the long, white dress worn by Altrelia did not cover his charm, when Chavire saw a pair of breasts it was like it was only covered with cloth from the dress she was wearing.

‘When was the last time I met her sister Alrescha? I think tea time was half a year ago. Why does he look different?’ thought Chavire. 

“Bend.” pinta Altrelia.

“ Chavire in his opinion, slightly bent his body forward. 

Afterwards, Chavire saw that Altrelia had immediately removed her necklace chain. Thin and plain necklace without any pendulum.

Then, Alstrelia removed a ring attached to her index finger, and inserted the ring into the chain of the necklace.

“This body is for me,” pinta Alstrelia while draping her necklace earlier to Chavire's neck. 

Since Alstrelia was doing it herself, her body was getting closer to her face. Chavire's cheeks were already blushing when she saw that the fragrant body of Alstrelia was actually in front of her exactly. 

“Why did you give this to me?” 

“I don't have any reason. Just want to give it to you.” replied Alstrelia. 

Her beautiful face still showed a calm expression, which made Chavire enter into her own sea of comfort, especially when the scent she smelled made her mind somehow relax. 

“Although, you are now in someone else's body. You will still be yourself. You've worked very hard, but no one understands fatigue but yourself. Pursue your hope, Chavire.” said Altrelia. 

His slender hand rubbed Chavire's face gently, until Chavire herself felt that it was an appreciation of her sincerity for Chavire not to despair.

“Back,” pinta Altrelia.

Chavire further closed her eyes and enjoyed the rubbing on her cheek from the fairly delicate hand of Altrelia. 

‘Why can I feel this calm?’ Chavire actually did not understand at all the reason for Altrelia's sudden encounter in such a place. But Chavire was so sure, that it was a clue to him?

“Hah?!” the eyelids that were originally closed, just opened. 

“It turns out you're making me feel the stimulation, wild man.” sneered Eldania.

“What?!” Chavire who had just woken up from her sleep immediately turned to the left. “Why are you this close?” 

Eldania grinned thinly. He was currently lying on Chavire's left side exactly, then he replied, “I should have asked, why are you clutching my hand to stroke your cheek? Look at your naughty hands, you make me feel pain so that my hands rub your face.” said Eldania while pointing at her hand which is currently being held by Chavire's hand.

“Why can?” Chavire instantly released the grip of her hand with a slight roughness, then got up from her bed?

But in reality, Chavire was on a wooden floor. And while glancing to the left side, the foreign woman was also seen just lying on the floor as well.

‘Means that was just a dream?’ chavire's heart.

“Your face looks sorry that I am the hand that rubbed your cheek turned out not to be someone who was in your dream right?” terka Eldania, disperse that very serious Chavire daydream.

‘This woman, I feel like she has another stratagem.’ Chavire lyrics, looking suspiciously at Eldania, for always guessing correctly.
