Princess With Magic's
Treasure Hunting
"I'm bored.." murmured Canesta. "Flo's on vacation in Jordia, so I don't have any friends..."
"What if the Princess invites the Princess' friends?" the Viscountess Eliza.
"Good idea" Canesta replied. "Send an invitation to the noble ladies."
...****************...
When Canesta came, there were already many noble girls gathered. They welcomed Canesta.
"Hello princess," said Luna de Louris, the second daughter of the Viscount Louris family.
"Hello, miss Luna," replied Canesta. Canesta sat in her chair. "We're starting our tea party."
The tea party begins. The servants poured tea on all the cups. They drank the tea politely.
"The tea is very good" said Arabelle von Calle, the first daughter of the Duke Calle family.
"Miss Arabelle is very graceful when drinking tea" commented Jane de Hansel, the first daughter of the Marquess Hansel family.
"Thank you, Miss Jane" replied Arabelle.
"By the way, have you heard about the Countess Fiytra scandal?" tanya Luna started the gossip.
"It has. She said she had just given birth to a baby, but the baby did not resemble her or Count Fiytra at all" Canesta replied.
"It turns out that the Princess also knows the gossip."
"Of course."
"The Countess Fiytra is well known. It was unexpected that she did something like this" said Kara de Gatrey, the third daughter of Viscount Gatrey's family.
"It must have been a heavy blow to his social life" said Vizche de Faui, the first daughter of Earl Faui's family.
"Good people up front can be bad at the back" says Arabelle, "Don't trust someone too much."
"alright. Enough about Countess Fiytra. Do you know Xena de Liammsse, the first daughter of the Viscountess Liamasse family?" jane asked him to start a new topic.
"Of course you know. She is touted as the second prettiest woman in the kingdom after Princess Canesta" Luna replied. "What's wrong with her?"
"This rumor is new, so not many people know" Jane replied. "Say she killed her own brother."
"Hard to believe. Such a beautiful person killed his own brother. What was the reason for killing her brother?" ask Kara.
"Nobody knows. Now he's locked up in a dungeon and he's going to stand trial for another week" Jane replied.
"Rather than gossip, do you want to do something else?" canesta. All eyes were on him.
"What are we going to do" asked Arabella curiously.
"We're hunting for treasure."
"Huh?"
...****************...
"There is a treasure hidden in the palace. You will find clues in several places that will make it easier for you to find them. In the palace there are indeed some rooms that should not be entered, the rooms have been locked. So you are free to enter any room that is not locked" explained Aster, Canesta's new lady-in-waiting this morning. She was the third daughter of Count and Countess Homen.
"Not difficult. All right, let's play" Jane said confidently.
"But pede. Don't lose ya" ledek Vizche. This noble princess is indeed somewhat barbaric.
"of course. I'll beat you," Jane replied.
"We'll see who wins" challenged Vizche.
"The game starts now" Aster said. All the princesses of the nobility instantly dispersed throughout the palace. Canesta chose to search with Arabelle.
"Does the Princess know where the treasure is?" ask Arabelle.
"Speak non-formally only" Canesta replied. Arabelle laughing.
"All right."
The two of them searched all over the palace, but found nothing. Finally Canesta decided to calm down and think clearly.
"Said the clue was scattered throughout the palace. So we should have found some clues. We must have missed those clues by accident" Canesta said.
"Considerate as well," replied Arabelle.
"Let's go back to the kitchen. I feel like there's a lead in there."
Canesta and Arabelle go to the kitchen. Canesta looked at every corner of the kitchen carefully. He opened a shelf.
"Here we go!" exciting Canesta.
"What did you find?" ask Arabelle curiously. Canesta showed him a piece of paper.
Canesta opened and read the paper,
"Among the seven, there was one who had a scar."
Canesta and Arabelle looked at each other. They are equally confused by its meaning.
"Among the seven?"
"Wound again?"
"I don't understand any of this."
Finally they decided to sit at the kitchen table while eating and think about the meaning of the clue earlier.
"Is there anything seven in this palace?" ask Canesta.
"Mr Princess knows better, because the Princess is big and lives here" replied Arabelle.
"That's right, too" Canesta sighed. "Seven is..."
Suddenly he remembered the Mist Palace. The walls of the palace were gray like fog. The palace used to be the residence of the King's concubines. But during the reign of Canesta's father, the palace was abandoned because the King wanted to love the Queen faithfully and did not want to have a concubine.
"In the palace of Fog there are seven rooms. The seven rooms were used for the residence of the King's concubines. During the reign of King Warthon II, these seven chambers were occupied by the seven concubines of the King. And one of them had an unfortunate incident here" Canesta explained at length. Arabelle mangosteen understands.
"Let's go to the palace" asked Arabelle.
"Attent. I want to eat this burger again."
"Haha it seems like I was the first to see the Princess eating like this," joked Arabelle.
"Please keep it a secret, yes" Canesta put an index finger in her mouth.
"Of course."
After Canesta finished her burger, the two of them rushed off to the Mist Palace. On the way, they meet Flo and Vizche.
"Flo? You coming too?" ask Canesta.
"Yes. I have just returned from the land of Jordia and I have heard from the servants that you are hunting for treasure. So I'm coming, '" Flo replied.
"Do you want to work together?" ask Arabelle.
"Why are you suddenly working together? Do you want to use our lead? We've found one clue" Vizche accused.
"We also found a clue. We can combine the two and search together" Canesta explained.
"Hm..all right then."
Eventually the four of them worked together and showed each other clues. Canesta and Arabelle read Flo and Vizche's manual.
"An old book that contains everything about it" read Canesta. "Old book? In this palace there are certainly many old books. We can't possibly look for them one by one."
"Hm seven rooms... Are these the seven rooms in the Mist Palace?" ask Flo.
"Yes. We were on our way there when we met" Canesta replied.
"Yes, let's go first."
Canesta, Arabelle, Flo, and Vizche went to the Mist Palace. The palace still looks good even though it is abandoned. There were a few servants who stayed there to take care of the palace every day.
"Oh, hello Princess," said Lilian, one of the Mist Palace's administrators, "Is there anything the Princess stopped by here?"
"We're on a treasure hunt. And one of his leads leads to this palace. Can we go around the palace to find treasure?" answer Canesta.
"Of course I can. Do I need to assign someone to guide the four of you around the palace."
"no need. We want to have an adventure."
"Hoho Our little princess is already big," Lilian pinched Canesta's cheek. Canesta laughs. Lilian had been a servant at the palace about a year before Canesta was born. She was also the one who took the biggest role in taking care of Canesta when compared to other maids and nannies.
"I'm sorry for my pluck, Princess" Lilian said as she realized what she was doing.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I say goodbye first, we'll continue the treasure hunt."
"alright. Be careful on the road, Princess."
The four of them entered the Mist Palace, then walked towards the stairs connecting the first and second floors. The seven rooms of the concubine were on the second floor.
"This palace is so beautiful" praised Arabelle.
"It looks like they're taking good care of him" Flo said.
They went up to the second floor, then the third floor. They searched seven rooms while walking around and observing the palace.
"I don't know where the seven rooms are" Canesta said. "Ah, that's the servant's sister. Let's ask."
They approached a servant. She was Viscountess Sophia, the lady-in-waiting of the previous King's concubine Countess Sia who had recently left the Mist Palace. Viscountess Sophia would also leave after clearing up a few things.
"Excuse me. Do you know where the seven concubine rooms are?" ask Canesta politely.
"Mr Princess? Oh, those seven rooms are near here. The Princess stayed straight, then turned right," the maid explained with a smile.
"thank you. Come on, guys."
Flo was astonished because of Canesta's slightly changed way of speaking. It seemed like only Flo was sensitive enough to realize that.
"What's up, brother?" whispered Flo.
"I feel a bad aura from the servant," Canesta whispered back. Arabelle and Vizche didn't hear them.
Before long, the four of them reached the seven rooms. As they were checking the first room, Canesta suddenly said quietly to the four of them,
"Hide fast!"
"What's up, Princess?" ask Vizche wonder.
"Just hide!"
The three of them according. They know, Canesta's not the kind of person who tells people to do things for no reason.
A few minutes after they hid, the door opened. Viscountess Sophia came with a knife in her hand.
"I know you're here. Come outside!" viscountess Sophia exclaimed like a madman.
Suddenly Canesta came out of her hiding place. Although shocked, Viscountess Sophia immediately responded and ran to Canesta's place. Canesta swung her hand and Viscountess Sophia's body stopped moving. The knife in his hand fell to the floor.
"What are you doing?! What's this?!" viscountess Sophia.
"My strength," Canesta replied casually. "You guys, get out."
Flo, Arabelle, and Vizche come out of their hiding places. Arabelle and Vizche are stunned to see Canesta have magic powers.
"Pu-Daughter?"
"Later I'll explain everything. And please don't tell anyone this."
"Just calm. This secret is where we are."
Canesta told them to call the guards. Flo finally came down to call them.
A few minutes later, a few guards came. One second before the first bodyguard entered the room, Canesta unleashed her power on Viscountess Sophia and she was able to move again.
"You're under arrest for the attempted murder of the royal family."
The guards caught the thrashing Viscountess Sophia. Canesta just realized, there was a smell of alcohol from the woman.
Canesta, Flo, Arabelle, and Vizche followed the guards. Viscountess Sophia was taken to the palace and will be temporarily locked up in a dungeon before trial. Meanwhile, all the noble girls who attended the Canesta tea party, gathered in the garden. They were sitting at the table where they had their tea party this afternoon.
"He will definitely be put to death for the attempted murder of the royal family. What he's trying to kill is me as heir to the throne" Canesta said.
"I didn't expect Viscountess Sophia to do something like this. As I recall the Viscountess is a very kind gentle woman" said Vizche.
"Said she changed since her son, Harry de Sophia, died. It seemed like the Viscountess was devastated and she became a bit crazy. People also said that there was an alcoholic smell from Viscountess' body," Kara added.
"All mothers must be sad if their children are exposed to difficulties, sick, let alone die. It seems I can understand Viscountess' feelings," Canesta said.
"I knew. My mother was very sad when my sister died. She cried and locked herself in her room for days. Mom looked like a crazy person for those few days. It's a good thing that I came to my senses and forgot about her grief after being persuaded by me and my father" Arabella told the publication. Arabella's sister, Bayni von Calle, died at the age of 6 from a rare disease that even until now there is no cure.
"I'm so sorry for your sister" Jane said.
"It's okay" replied Arabelle. A drop of tears fell. "Ah, forgive me."
"Remove your tears, Princess Arabelle. You have to believe that God loves your sister so he calls her back" comforted Luna while giving her handkerchief.
"Thank you" Arabelle received a handkerchief from Luna and wiped her tears.
"By the way did you guys find the treasure?" ask Flo.
"No. But we found a clue" Luna replied. "Luna and I looked for her together."
"So Jane's looking for her herself?" ask Canesta.
"Hehe. At first I searched, and then relaxed while taking a walk. But it was very hot today, so by chance my house was close to the palace, I went home first to take a bath. By the time I got back, this had already happened and was gathering with you guys" Jane explained.
"Jeez."
Everyone laughed at Jane's story. Jane is known as a nobleman who can not stand the heat. He even earned the nickname 'Vampire Princess'. Besides not being able to stand the heat, he also hates garlic. Very similar to vampires.
"Because it's already afternoon, the treasure hunt will resume tomorrow at 11am. Thank you for coming, everyone," Canesta said.
"Ah, it's done yes," said Arabelle.
"I'm really enjoying today. Not only the tea party, the Princess even held a treasure hunt," Luna said.
"The princess will definitely be a good Queen" Kara praised.
"thank you. Be careful on the road."
They all came home happy. Canesta and Flo also returned to the palace.
"I think the Viscountess has killed some people" Canesta said suddenly.
"What?" ask Flo in shock. Canesta did not answer. Arriving in front of the room, Canesta went straight into her room without saying anything. Flo just stared at him.
"My brother is weird."
