Princess Seraphina
CHAPTRE 49
Seraphina noticed Aldi was still not feeling well, so she decided to buy some food at the store around the house. Immediately, Seraphina left accompanied by a servant. While they were away, Ariel approached Aldi who was still lying down.
Aldi looked at him, then Ariel asked, “How are you doing now?”
“Good,” Aldi replied while still looking at Ariel's face.
Ariel took the chair that was near the bed. He kept looking sharply at Aldi's eyes. “Good, keep resting so as not to get worse.”
Aldi felt Ariel was taking her seriously. He tried asking again, “Why is your gaze on me so serious?”
There's no answer
Trying once more, Aldi asked, “Ariel, tell me. Have I made a mistake? If not told, how can I understand?”
Suddenly Ariel pulled the collar of Aldi's shirt until his body lifted.
“Do not pretend to be stupid. You've seen it, but still don't want to confess?” ariel said with anger.
Aldi found it difficult to breathe because of the pull of the shirt, and Ariel let go.
“A-I don't know anything about that question of yours,” he said, still choking.
“I asked about your feelings towards Seraphina. Do you really like it? He seems to have answered your feelings, but unfortunately you are not worthy. Even so, the transfer of your body to the palace is a reality,” Ariel said in a slow tone.
But somehow, Aldi could not help himself to convey everything. So, he told me everything. Starting from entering the palace to meeting the purple hair lady with the crystal crown. After hearing all those explanations, Ariel let out a long sigh while leaning her back on the chair, “And has the woman given you a task?”
“Yes, he looks mad at me. As I recall, the woman said that she would protect her only child from destruction. Then just before he threw me away, he told me I had to see the durinya. Otherwise, my illness will not heal unless I forget it,” Aldi replied.
“You, screwed, screwed. A young man who did not have any power was already given the opportunity to establish an official relationship. That's stupid queen. Ah, I got dizzy,” said Ariel while holding her forehead.
Spontaneously, Aldi asked, “Who are you? From the beginning it looked strange. When I was wounded by a gunshot, Phina healed me using magic. Safy behaves like a medieval servant. And the shape of your eyes is different from that of earthmen, for example Phina has purple eyes, and you Ariel has red eyes. Though red and purple eyes should never be found, but you both have it.”
Ariel listened to everything until the end, then answered it, “Listen to my words well. I won't answer it now, but you'll find out slowly. What has happened, your encounter with Seraphina, all that is destiny. A natural thing from the core of life. However, even if everything was predestined, I would never approve of a loser man side by side with my best friend. Because no matter how strong a woman is, they are nothing but dust without the protection of a man.”.
Aldi interrupts, “At least I can protect Phina.”
In the middle of the conversation, the sound of the front door opened. Ariel pulled Aldi closer, and in a low tone, he whispered, “Don't till you leak this dream of yours to Seraphina, understand?”
After that, Ariel released her grip on Aldi's collar, then returned to her original position near the door. Shortly after, Seraphina arrives with the waiter, carrying snacks and drinks.
“Cut here yes, Aldi. Later eat the snack. If you feel thirsty, there are drinks too. Hopefully soon healed,” said Seraphina.
“Thank you, Phina. Sorry for calling you here just to give all this to me.”
Then, Seraphina held Aldi's right hand, “No need to apologize. It is worth helping when you are sick. After all, since the beginning of work, you have helped me more than this.”
Seeing that Aldi was in good shape, Seraphina said goodbye to go home. Aldi also thanked him a lot, but did not talk about any of his dreams or previous events. Ariel also said goodbye. Before leaving, Ariel gives Aldi a code to meet him when he is healed. That way, they go home together, escorted by the waiter.
On the other hand, Aldi still remembered Ariel's words that were very piercing. He could not even forget a single sentence, his mind was only fixated on the destruction that would occur if he were to establish a relationship with Seraphina. There had been a feeling of disbelief in him, but Ariel's different attitude than usual showed how serious the problem was. Because it had already happened, Aldi decided to find out the message from the woman in his dream, or as Ariel said that the woman was Seraphina's biological mother. However, before starting his steps, Aldi had to recover his health first. So, he immediately rested so that the next day could be better.
Meanwhile, Seraphina and Ariel are escorted by Aldi's waiter by car to the house. It didn't take long, they've arrived. The waiter then said goodbye and returned to his employer's house to work.
Before getting inside the house, Ariel asked, “Seraphina, why are you so close to Aldi? Did you actually accept her feelings?”
“What do you mean talk like that?” Seraphina was surprised to hear Ariel's question. “He's not a bad guy, let alone like Jacob. Should have been my best friend since childhood, you would know if I had the power to analyze someone's nature. Why is it now being questioned? What's wrong with you, Ariel?”
“I just don't understand it, I think Aldi is just an ordinary couple. Why did he accept his feelings so. Remember, Seraphina, you are both a royal princess and the leader of the alliance. Your responsibility to sustain the entire continent is very heavy. At least choose a stronger one than him,” Ariel said firmly.
But Seraphina was not in line with Ariel's thinking. While leaving Ariel, he said, “Basic war enthusiast, there is no point in arguing with you.”
When about to enter the house, Seraphina's right hand was held by Ariel, “Don't go first, I haven't finished talking.”
Seraphina is getting fed up, so by her magic she threw Ariel to get close to the fence, “Don't block me, war enthusiast.”
“Hah? From earlier, only the word ‘warfarers’ in your head. My intention was good to protect you according to your father's message to me, but what did his daughter do? He's defiant, then I won't hesitate anymore,” insists Ariel.
That was when, Ariel took out her magic, The fire sword from the Phoenix spirit was taken out of her magic storage. The fire quickly scorched the grass in the yard and the fence instantly vanished in a matter of seconds.
