Princess In Another World: New Story
46
A few days passed, and tomorrow was the time.
Palaces.
“Isn't this too fancy.”
“The wedding of a royal princess will indeed be very luxurious like this.” (Lucy)
“Hmmm, when will you catch up?”
“Hah, your dress is very nice. There's still a lot of work I have to do.”
“Don't use sentences that I use often, it doesn't match you.”
“Hahahaha.. I've planned it, maybe until this situation subsides a little. Besides, it seems like Ria is still not ready.”
“If so, how else.”
Lucy and I continued walking around checking things out, this was done so that no bad events could be considered preventative.
“Ari.”
“What's up?”
“By marrying a daughter, you must already know the risks.”
“I already know.”
“I just want to say it, only. Maybe there are people who would oppose this marriage, if it happened what would you do? Moreover, there were no benefits to be gained from this marriage. I'm sure there will be a party who actually opposes and tries to cancel your marriage.”
“Yes, I admit that there will indeed be some parties who might do that. But, you know. This is something Iona actually wanted, and again after a long time I can finally say it.”
“Your task of the goddess is done?”
“No, still not. It's just.”
“Only?”
“Kotrak my agreement with the goddess is over, you could say the contract expired just as I died that time.”
“So. It's only right that your attitude changed after that incident, I think that you ignored it was not what I thought it was. If so, I'm Lucy from Groem kingdom, will help to make this event run smoothly.”
“Haha, I've never seen you speak using your kingdom before.”
“This is a friendship bond, honestly if it fails I don't want to see our commander's face sad. Isn't that what you want, too.”
“True. In that case, when you decide to get married in the future, I will also do the same.”
“Atal.”
“Ya.”
“Oh yes, by the way if you marry a princess, who will be the next king it means is you.”
“Ahhh, I told you that I will only work behind the scenes.”
“Hmmm, if so. Means who will be the next king, your son.”
“Hey, it's too fast. Besides, I'm not sure Iona would be ready for something like that.”
“I just told you, besides that I'm not sure if the king and queen will wait. What they have in mind is probably, eventually I will soon have a grandson, like that.”
“Your thoughts are wild.”
“Liar or not, that's what parents want when they see their son or daughter get married.”
“Yes, if everything goes smoothly maybe it can happen.”
“Haaaa, I can't wait to be an uncle.”
“Damn you, it turns out like that.”
“Hahahaha.. Then, I will wait for good news from you. I'll check elsewhere, see you later.” We parted.
A while after that.
Palaces.
“Vice commander.” (Fame)
Famus suddenly came here. “Famus, what what?”
“There was a suspicious movement from some of the top officials of the kingdom, it seems like they are planning something bad.”
“So.” They've already started it. But, I don't want this show to fall apart, if until something like that happens it's bound to hurt Iona and I don't want to see it that way. “Keep watching them, if there is any new news, let me know immediately and if they have done anything out of control, arrest them and bring their evidence.”
“Good, I will pass it on to others.” Famus gone.
“Hmmm, it looks like they have also started moving.” The higher-ups who opposed this marriage, because from the beginning I did not like the higher-ups and more importantly, I had the king to replace them but my words were not heard. “Haaaaa, it seems like my position must be high first to be heard.” The office I have now, doesn't exist. The name of the deputy commander was just a diversion so that I could help Iona, in fact I did not have a definite position on paper. That's why I don't get a salary. On paper, there is only the name of Iona as a commander, and also Lucy as a deputy commander while I am not there.
Long enough after that.
“Ari, where have you been? I'm looking for you daritadi.”
I met Iona while I was walking around. “I'm just looking around.”
“What are you doing, let's come quickly.”
“Ehhh, k-why?”
“You should try on the clothes you're going to wear tomorrow. Sis Risa hard to wait.”
“B-not that I tried it yesterday when I bought it.”
“Already, come quickly.” Iona pulled me away.
Thereafter.
In Iona's room.
“Wahhh, Ari you are very handsome.” (Lion)
“Hmm, that's right. You look a little grown up. What about the size? Does it fit you?” (Risa)
“Iya, I tried it before.” Right now I'm being forced to wear the clothes I'm going to wear tomorrow.
“So.”
“If there is no more, I will go.”
“Wait, don't you want to see Iona's wedding dress?” (Risa)
“I want.” I don't know why I said it so spontally.
“K-sister Risa..” (Iona)
“Wah excited, but wait for tomorrow. If today the surprise will not feel.”
“Haaaa, yes already.”
Long enough after that.
“Vice commander.” (Dirk)
“Dirk, what's up? Is there something?” Dirk came here, that means there's a problem.
“The kingdom's heights begin to launch their attacks.”
“Hmmm, already started, yes.”
“Attacks? What attack?” (Risa)
“Begini Risa-oneesama's. There are some parties who do not agree with this marriage because it will not get any benefits for the kingdom, therefore the officials plan to cancel this marriage.”
“I-it's impossible. I don't want this to be canceled, all this time I've been dreaming about this. If it has to be canceled, I..” (Iona)
“Just calm down, leave everything to me. I'm gonna do something to get things going. Then I'll go. Dirk, immediately call the other team leader to the meeting room.”
“Good.”
I'm goin.
After a long time.
Special headquarters, meeting room.
“Hmmm, so so.” I just listened to an explanation from the squad leaders regarding the current state of affairs. “So they asked for help from other kingdoms to mess up this wedding, yes.”
“Yes, that's right. But we have managed to catch the person who wants to deliver the letter to the kingdom who will be related to this plan.”
“That's good, at least we already have proof. In this way they will not be able to dodge anymore. Even so, tomorrow I want all of you to stand guard. Ask the assassin squad to scout, disguise as a guest no problem. If there is a suspicious person immediately ambush and arrest. And if you can, get as much information from him as possible.”
“Good.”
“Oh yes, maybe a little late. But, I invite all of you to come to my wedding with Iona tomorrow.”
“B-is it the vice commander?!” (Grild)
“Iya. If you want, you can also invite your family to join.”
“But, isn't this the king's daughter's wedding.” (Laren)
“Continue, why?”
“It would be strange if there are ordinary people who participate in this event, besides that I am sure that surely the invited guests are the nobles and also the king of the neighboring kingdom.”
“I've said this over and over again, in this place, we're all family. All of you working here for years, it's been clear that everything here is family. I'm sure Iona would also be very happy if you guys could come. Don't you also want to see the commander you respect smiling happily on his happy day. If you come, I'm sure he'll be happier. Therefore there is no reason for you not to come.”
“Then, fine. As the deputy commander knows, we do not want to upset the commander.” (Fame)
“Good. Then, I will wait for you when the show starts, lest anyone not come, yes.”
“Just calm deputy commander, we will definitely come.”
“Alright, I'll wait. Haaaa, the meeting this time is over. You guys can disperse.”
“Good.”
A few minutes after that.
“Ahhh, you're here as it turns out. I was looking for you earlier, lo.” (Lucy)
“Lucy, yes. What's up?”
“I was just before I came to see the princess, it looks like she's looking for you.”
“So... Haaaaa, I want to rest for a while.”.
“Oh yes, are you ready for your wedding tomorrow?”
“Don't ask me that, I'm very tired today.”
“I'm just tired, both physically and mentally. For the first time I will appear in public as an important person, if I can be honest I am actually not ready with this kind of thing.”
“Wedding?”
“Not, I don't mind that. But my identity, you can assume a person who has no family and also a title like me will appear as the husband of a daughter. I'm sure everyone's responses and views will be different when I see me.”
“So that's what you're worried about?”
“As much as possible I will avoid things that can make me flashy, if I say like it's conditioned like this stuff like that I can't do.”
“Yes, you are right. Because you can say you are the main star, you will indeed be the center of attention.”
“Haaaa, what if I embarrass myself later.”
“That's what you're worried about turns out. Are you nervous?”
“Aghhh, I cannot show this attitude to others. Yes, I was nervous. You think I'm not nervous before my own wedding.”
“Hahahaha, it turns out that you also have such properties as well.”
“I am also human, of course I have it. Haaaaa, you know I'm actually quite tired of being an unexpected person. But, while chatting with you like this I feel a little free from it, I can talk about things I want to talk about freely if it's you.”
“So. Then, when you talk to the princess?”
“When I talk to him, I become calmer. I can talk about things I can't talk about with anyone else.”
“Like that, yes.”
“Lucy, should I keep pretending and acting like this?”
“It's up to you, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to do it. Even so, I feel that you are too closely bound by that attitude until you are not aware that you have made your nature as your own characteristic.”
“If I can, I want to be myself. At least 1 day, not 1 hour is enough. After that maybe I can change a little.”
“If that's what you want, why not. Besides, when you're married, I suggest you be more open with the princess, to be honest in my eyes you're still very mysterious. Even if you say something like that, I'm not sure if it's the real you who said it or if it's just a charade you did. I don't know, the important thing is you have to do your best for tomorrow, don't make it sad.”
“So. Looks like you got a point. I have to prepare myself for tomorrow, I'm sure tomorrow will be a very tiring day for me.”
“Then, happy fighting for tomorrow.”
Tomorrow.
Guest rooms.
“Wait, it looks like there is still less.” (Lucy)
“Hey hey, come on it's complete let alone less.” I was getting ready in the living room and right now what's helping me is Lucy.
“Entailah, but I think there is still less.”
“You're not good at things like this. Haaaa, why would I leave something like this to someone like you, should I hand it over to someone who is an expert.” Lucy wanted to help me get ready and because it became what it is now, if I had known it would be like this I might have turned it down.
“Don't be like that, I'm among those who understand these kinds of things. Don't underestimate me.”
A few minutes after that.
“Well, it's done. Hows it? Is it good? I think already, you look cool and also handsome, although less handsome with me.”
“Why did you ask and answer yourself.” I look in the mirror. “Hmmm, passable for a beginner.”
“I'm not a beginner, I'm just not being creative.”
“Terlarah. Then, I'll go.”
“Ya, good luck.”
“You too.”
“Iya.” I went to the show.
\=\=\=
“Alright, now is my time to work.” My job is to keep an eye out for suspicious things that could mess up Ari's wedding as well as the princess's, but my job is to be a little light due to the help of the undercover assassins in the crowd of invited guests. “Time to leave.”
At the party.
“Quite crowded, this is a little difficult.” I didn't expect it to be this much, and it would obviously make it a little difficult for me to find a suspicious person. ‘I better find a higher place so that my view is wider.’
A few moments later.
“This is better.” On the 2nd floor, I could see everything more clearly from here, even though the crowd on this floor was also crowded though not as crowded as the 1st floor. “It turns out it is indeed more than what I imagined.”
“Precaution, princess Iona will enter the room soon.”
“It looks like for now it will be fine.” Since there was still no suspicious movement, I decided to focus a little on the show.
Princess Iona started to enter the room. “Beauty once.” That was the first word I said when I saw him. All eyes were on him, including me. “Ahhh, no no, I already have Ria. I have to focus.” Seeing the appearance of princess Iona today is indeed very admirable, beautiful, graceful and also elegant. “I think Ria will also look beautiful if using beautiful dresses and fancy jewelry like that.” I don't know why I compare the two of them. “Haaa, focus, I need to stay focused on my task.” My job here is not to be an appraiser, but to observe the surroundings.
A few moments later.
When Ari starts to say the sacred promise of marriage. “That's him.” I found a person who looked very suspicious, because of that I immediately signaled to the assassins who were here to subdue him secretly.
Outdoors.
“Deputy commander, we've caught him. Right now that person is in the holding room.”
“Korek as much information as possible from him, and remember not to kill him.”
“Good. In that case, we will continue the surveillance.” They're goin.
“Haaaa, it seems like I still can't enjoy this party.” I went back in and when I came in. “I'm late, yes.” The ceremony was over, and I missed the moment of princess and Ari's kiss. “Haaaa, stop.” There was no more material I could say to mock him. I want to do it after the party is over.
“Lucy, how?” (Ari) Ari and the princess came to me.
“Ya, I managed to catch 1.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
“Capture? Prince, what did you catch?” (Lion)
“Nothing, only small insects bothering. I've thrown it away so as not to panic the invited guests. Congratulations on your marriage, by the way. Although I missed that moment, but it was.”
“Moment?”
“No, forget it. Ari, I'm waiting for your decision. When are you going to do it.”
“Well, a very special day like this is not good to discuss heavy things. You better enjoy this party soon, oh yes I also saw Ria earlier.”
“Bernarkah? Where?”
“Hmmm, if it's not wrong he's near there.”
“Wah, thank you very much.”
\=\=\=
Lucy's gone.
“He looks happy.”
“This is the right time for him.”
“Ari, what was prince Lucy saying?”
“Haaaa, maybe a suspicious person who intends to screw up this wedding.”
“But earlier he said only 1, meaning there is still the rest’.”
“Yes, that's true. But, since one of them has already been arrested I'm sure the others will become even more cautious again.”
“Once, yes.”
“Already, do not discuss such a thing. Today, we enjoy the party.”
“Iya, that's right.”
Nightfall.
“Haaaa, nocturnal still no party, yes.” I thought tonight I could take a break from this exhausting thing, but it's not.
“If it's not wrong, the party will be held for 2 days, that's what I heard from father.” (Lion)
“2 days, yes. Looks like I have to hold on again for tomorrow.”
“Ari.” Lucy suddenly approached us.
“Lucy, what's up?”
“I managed to catch 2 more cockroaches.”
“Hmmm, then where are they now?”
“Sedang taken care of. If I get anything I'll send you a notice later, my job for tonight is done. For now I want to go on a date with Ria. See you.”
“Y-ya.”
“He's excited once.” (Lion)
“The situation here remains safe and under control because part of the help, if only the assassins I'm sure they will also find it difficult to find it in a crowd like this.”
“So, it's best if the show is over we should thank him.”
“Iya.”
Meanwhile.
“Hahahahaha, tell me who told you to do this. SAY!!!” (Grild)
“Wah, its barbaric nature appears.” (Fame)
“I'm not sure that person will survive. In addition, it looks like 1 more person has fainted due to the act.” (Dirk)
“Oh yes, are you sure you guys are not in the party tonight?” (Laren)
“Deputy commander Lucy ordered us to keep an eye on them, it means there is a possibility that someone will infiltrate and free them.” (Dirk)
“But this place has been guarded by assassins, there is no way anyone can enter here carelessly.” (Laren)
“Ari's deputy once said, if at least take precautions before something happens it will be very good. I think deputy commander Lucy also applied that, she told us to keep watch here so that something unexpected doesn't happen.” (Dirk)
“True also.” (Laren)
“If you want to go to the party no problem, we will guard here.” (Fame)
“No, since this is a direct order from deputy commander Lucy, I will still do it. Besides, look at him, it looks like he enjoyed it.”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA, QUICKLY TELL ME WHO HAS TOLD YOU TO DO THIS, otherwise, you might end up the same fate as your friend. HAHAHAHAHA.” (Grild)
“Y-yeah, but it seems like she's a little overboard.”
