This afternoon Zoya had just poured out a scrub on the body of the princess Cendana. Princess Cendana had also just fallen asleep now. Zoya has been holding back her sleepiness that feels so heavy. He already wanted to sleep now, but how could it be. In an hour he had to wake up Sandalwood's daughter to clean up.
Hoam....
It feels so sleepy. Last night he really slept when the day was about to go early in the morning. The fun of chatting with prince Erlangga makes her forget time. And now he's the one who's not focused on doing anything.
"Hey, Ana" Gendis calls Zoya who is sitting on her desk with her chin propped up making her gasp.
Zoya turned her head lethargic towards Gendis, while the other two maids were seen tidying up the clothes of the Sandalwood princess.
"Your eyes are like ghosts, didn't you sleep last night?" ask Gendis.
Zoya.
"I can't sleep" Zoya replied.
"What are you doing?" ask Gendis. They spoke so quietly, afraid that the Sandalwood princess would wake up.
"Nothing" Zoya replied.
Gendis put on her strange face. Look at Zoya who is already very sleepy.
"There's still a minute. You can close your eyes for a moment" said Gendis.
Zoya nodded.
"Looks like you were right. I really can't take it anymore. You can wake me up in an hour" Zoya replied.
Gendis was stunned and looked at Zoya in confusion.
"An hour, what's that?" ask Gendis.
Zoya gasps. He immediately looked at Gendis awkwardly. The mouth that cannot be guarded. There are no hours yet. Jeez...it's troublesome.
"It's okay, I mean if the scrub is dry you can wake me up" Zoya said.
Gendis just nodded, although sometimes she was surprised to see Zoya. There are so many languages that he does not understand when Zoya who sometimes gives up speaking.
But just now Zoya wants to lay her head on the table, again someone's call makes Zoya wake up.
"Ana.. someone is looking for you" said one of his lady-in-waiting friends.
"Who?" zoya asked so lazily.
He wants to sleep. But why has anyone been bothering him since last night.
"I don't know, there was a soldier who told me earlier, if the man was waiting behind the soldier's building, near the medicinal plant" said Zoya's lady friend.
Behind the soldier building???
That was prince Erlangga.
A smile immediately rose on Zoya's tangled face, even she immediately moved with enthusiasm to make Gendis jump in shock.
"Thank you, Nur, I'm going first. Bye" exclaimed Zoya who immediately forgot if the princess of Sandana was asleep.
Gendis and Nur look at each other in wonder at Zoya.
"Sometimes he's not weird" Nur said.
"Not sometimes, but he's weird" Gendis replied.
...
Zoya walks and runs a little with her hands that raise a little of her ladyboy skirt. His sleepiness is gone now. What does Prince Erlangga call him. Did he miss you again???
Just imagining it makes Zoya smile to herself.
She walked with vigor, where concerned she was with the gazes of the soldiers and her other ladies-in-waiting. Zoya only bowed respectfully as she clashed with the Generals and Commanders who passed by in front of the soldier building. The rest he continued his path quickly.
"Hey Ana, where are you going. Slow down your path a little, you can fall" Juna exclaimed from a distance.
"I want to walk along" Zoya exclaimed, waving her hand and running back cheerfully. Juna could only shake his head to look at Zoya's always cheerful attitude.
Zoya jumped over some rocks beside the building, and her eyes immediately turned in all directions, looking for where the person was.
Zoya's lips curled at a glance, when she did not find the figure of her prince Erlangga. Was he in that medicine garden?
Zoya decided to walk deeper while looking at the medicinal plants that thrive here. Medicinal plants were planted by palace healers for devices as their medicinal ingredients.
Zoya's feet stopped, when she suddenly saw a dashing figure standing and was kissing a red rose in her hand.
Isn't that the Duke's prince???
Why is she here???
"At last you came also Ana" said the Duke, who turned his body and turned towards Zoya.
Zoya is stunned, meaning who wants to meet her is the prince of the Duke, and not the prince of Erlangga???
Oh my.,...
Zoya's feet immediately limp and her drowsiness comes back. He had no recollection of the words of the Duke prince last night who wanted to see him again.
Sucks. His brain was indeed filled with the name of Prince Erlangga alone.
"I don't think you're coming to see me. But it turns out...."
"Ah respect me prince Duke. Sorry, I actually just pass around here" said Zoya so quickly, she even cut the words of the Duke.
Damn it, if you knew the Duke's prince who called out to her, Zoya wouldn't have been willing to come.
The Duke smiled calmly, but his composure held quite a deep meaning. Zoya was a little scared to see him.
"No problem. I will forgive you even if I know you are lying" replied the Duke.
Zoya immediately grimaced and lowered her head.
"And you certainly know what punishment will be obtained if a lady-in-waiting meets a prince instead" said the Duke again.
Zoya looked back at that sharp handsome face with doubt. Did he call her? Why are we talking about punishment now?
"I know the prince, please forgive me" Zoya said resignedly.
"I will forgive you, but you must accompany me around this garden" the Duke asked.
"But princess Cendana will definitely look for me" said Zoya.
"Just for a minute, come" asked the Duke. The flower in her hand had not been released since. Even Zoya had thought if the flower would be given to her. Haha .. there is only.
"But the prince, what if anyone knows" Zoya said again. He really doubted. What if he gets decapitated. Finish the history.
"No one will know, it will not be me who calls you here" replied the Duke.
Zoya stunned.
"Then why discuss the punishment earlier" Zoya grumbled unknowingly.
"That's because you said you just accidentally passed by" the Duke replied casually.
Zoya immediately snorted hearing that. She's confused now, come along, or not?
"Come, if you don't want to, then I will give you punishment" the Duke threatened again
And finally inevitably Zoya is forced to go after him. May the Duke not do him any harm.
..
And unconsciously, if ever since there was a pair of eyes that lurked them.
