Stuck In The Middle Ages
07| Home

That afternoon Natasha and the others had finished planting. They were happy to see how the girl was so skilled and grew vegetables.

     "Haha, during my stay in the village, I always helped my aunt and grandmother to plant and harvest vegetables. Of course things like this have become my habit."

The peasants began to approach Natasha and thank her.

     "Daughter, thank you for helping us grow this vegetable and wheat germ. We're all very helped!" said the village leader.

Natasha smiled gently.

     "It is my job to help. Does Duke Grisam often come to see the state of this village?" tanyanya.

     "real princess. He used to come here after meeting with the Alpha marquess. He also conveyed our complaints regarding the diminishing food. A few months ago, we all failed the harvest when we initially thought the vegetables and wheat grown would grow well, it turned out that everything turned yellow and died immediately."

     "Then, did something like this ever happen?" Okay, the discussion this time is quite interesting Natasha.

     "Let's ever happened, princess. Actually we were surprised, because now is a good season to grow vegetables, but our plants just die all."

A farmer came forward to just make his point.

     "Actually the princess, a few weeks before our vegetables were cut and dead, I saw someone come to the garden. The atmosphere at that moment was already dark so did not know who it was. It just so happened that I just finished resting and intended to go home, but instead found something that I thought was suspicious."

     "Can you tell me the characteristics of that person, such as his height or shape?"

      "The person is taller than me and for body shape, I know less. You see that guy's wearing a robe so it's completely covered."

      "Yes, already. I will speak with the king and Duke Grisam. Then let's go back to remembering the day and night and please don't let the kids be outside!"

      "Good princess."

They eventually returned to their homes. Natasha has also arrived with Lucas who looks dirty. The girl could only shake her head when she saw her sister grinning in the style of a horse.

     "Tell Emma to bathe you."

Night came, it was getting late only Natasha could not sleep. The feeling that he had to wake up tonight no matter what.

While being engrossed in his own thoughts, a knock on his bedroom window sounded. Natasha was initially reluctant to open it, but she felt a familiar energy.

     "Azelea? What are these nights coming up?"

Natasha rushed to open the window and it was true that her right hand was standing on a tree branch which was quite close to the window of Natasha's room.

     "Daughter's greetings, sorry to interrupt your rest, but I bring important news related to the kingdom!"

      "What's that?"

      "Some of you had intended to poison the king and the queen, we have not found the culprit yet, but one of the servants died immediately after trying the dishes that would serve as dinner for the king and queen."

Hearing that Natasha was surprised. His heart is beating twice as fast.

      "Princess take it easy, I will deploy my subordinates to find out the culprit, which is definitely their purpose for the position belonging to the princess. My suggestion is that the princess should immediately complete her education in order to quickly occupy the position of king!"

Natasha nodded in understanding.

      "Thank you for the information. Please keep an eye on my grandmother and grandfather. Come to the empire and meet the prince of Austin. Ask him to come to the kingdom occasionally. Just tell him I asked for it. You can go!"

      "Before I leave, there's also something important I want to say!"

Azalea finally approached Natasha's window and started whispering something. Again, the girl was surprised not to play.

     "Be careful princess, I say retreat!"

After Azalea's departure, Natasha tried to concentrate her concentration. It was true, there was someone who was watching their residence from a fairly close distance, even that someone was watching him and Azalea earlier.

      "Maybe I should master defense magic. Instead of not being able to sleep, I will practice again. Improving magic is more important now!"

The next morning, Natasha finally went to meet Marquess Alpha. He also wanted to know the circumstances around the border.

     "Let's go!"

On the other hand, Austin was cleaning his sword because he had not used it for too long. Suddenly he was surprised by the presence of someone who was none other than Azalea.

      "Greetings my prince, sorry to interrupt your leisure time. Let me introduce myself. I am Azalea, the right-hand man of King Miller who is now the right-hand man of daughter Natasha. My arrival here would like to convey the princess' request that you be asked to occasionally come to the kingdom of Beverly."

Austin looked to frown.

     "Tumben once Natasha asked me to come, what's the matter?" he asked by stopping the activity of cleaning the sword.

      "Princess Natasha and Prince Lucas are now in a village near the border in the east. They were asked by the king to help the citizens whose crops had suddenly died and also last night the king and queen were almost poisoned."

Hearing that Austin looked surprised. Who would dare to poison Natasha's grandmother and grandfather?

Yes, the news of Natasha's grandmother and grandfather taking over while the king and queen's position had already been heard directly by the imperial family, the emperor himself had also agreed to it.

      "Who would dare to do such a thing?" austin asked back.

      "For a while, we haven't found the culprit yet. I'm also conducting a clandestine investigation because it's been confirmed that the culprit is not just anyone."

      "Thank you for the information, ah wait. What about Natasha and Lucas?"

Even so, Austin must also know the condition of the brothers.

      "They're fine, just last night I had a chance to see someone watching the residence of the princess and prince. From his energy, I think that person is not from the territory of Beverly or the empire."

Austin seemed to be thinking.

     "Could that person have been intent on harming Natasha and Lucas? As soon as you leave, tell Natasha to always take care of herself. I'm going to Beverly Kingdom!"

      "Okay prince, I beg you to resign!"

After Azalea's departure, Austin rushed to see his father. When the father is in his place, then abstain for them to call him father.

     "Greetings to the emperor!"

The emperor who saw the serious look on Austin's face began to ask.

     "What's the prince?"

     "Please allow me to stay in the kingdom of Beverly until princess Natasha and prince Lucas return. I have information that the king and queen Beverly were about to be poisoned. For a while no one could help the King guard the Kingdom. In the empire there were prince Alex and prince Arthur who could help the Emperor become this place."

The Emperor was surprised to hear that. After the death of Natasha's parents, there's just been an unpleasant incident.

     "alright. You were given permission to stay in the kingdom of Beverly until the princess and prince Beverly came. Don't forget to provide more information about the culprit."

       "Well, your highness the emperor, I resign!"

Meanwhile, Natasha is talking to Marquess Alpha.

     "Greetings, princess. I am so sorry for the passing of the king and queen!"

     "What's the condition of the border, marquess? Are there any signs of intruders coming in?"

     "Second princess. We're always checking every border point in the east very closely."

      "Does Duke Grisam visit you often?" ask her again and get a nod from the man.

     "really. Duke Grisam often comes to give information regarding the circumstances that are going on in the kingdom as long as I don't come there."

     "alright. I'll be back, eager to protect it!"

As long as Marquess Alpha came to the kingdom, she had never met Natasha even during the meeting with the girl, she was on duty. So, this was the first time the exotic-skinned handsome man had seen her in person.

Natasha looks very pretty, her soft voice is also an elegant appearance. The Marquess looked at Natasha almost unblinkingly.

     "really pretty. If only I could win her heart!" muttered Alpha with his own misdeeds.

Nobles chosen by Natasha's own father are fairly young, meaning those who are not married at all or have a lover. Only a few have families.

Natasha returned with the other bodyguards to the house. At first he wanted to go straight in, but sensing the presence of an unknown energy, Natasha undoes her intention.

     "Please call Rose!" natasha's orders one of her bodyguards.

      "Good princess."

A few moments later Rose came with the bodyguard.

    "Rose, accompany me to the market for a moment. I'd like to buy some more cloth to make my clothes and training pants. There's no way that I'm going to practice either riding a horse or sword in a dress!"

     "Good princess."

They finally left there. Natasha too they are like that foreign energy following them. After buying some cloth that he thought was good, Natasha then paid for it.

     "Princess, you give too many gold coins. This cloth was only worth two gold coins!"

Natasha shook her head quickly while smiling.

     "The fabric is very good and I like it so it's a good price!"

After leaving there, he starts to catch up with Lucas who is playing with his new friends.

It had been about two and a half months that he was in a village near the border. Finally Natasha has finished fulfilling her duties from her grandfather. They had now arrived in front of the royal gate and were greeted by many bodyguards and servants.

Natasha finally goes down with Lucas to approach her grandparents. However, he did not expect that Austin would be there as well.

The two bowed in greeting, then the grandmother began to hug her two grandchildren.

     "Your guys are finally back. Surely you guys are tired during the trip, want to immediately rest or talk to the prince first?" tawar the grandmother.

Natasha looked at Austin, then turned her eyes to her grandmother.

     "I'll talk to the prince first. There's a lot I want to ask."

      "alright. Lucas, come on in. Grandma made a really delicious cake."

      "Well, really? Hooray."

Afterwards Natasha and Austin went to the main park of the kingdom. He also saw the statue of his mother and father had stood firm, Natasha smiled.

    "Finally the statue of father and mother became too."

Austin looked at her.

     "How are you after almost three months of not coming home?" austin's question made the girl instantly avert her gaze to stare at the flower bed in front of her.

      "Well, nothing changed prince. I was just helping the villagers to re-fertilize their crops. I've also heard his complaints directly and it's a little strange."

      "Weird how?"

Natasha started telling me what she had heard from the villagers. Austin was surprised to hear that.

      "Also the Alpha marquess who was guarding the border said there were no foreigners entering the area, but I could feel there was foreign energy near my residence. Azalea told me this too and it's lucky that he doesn't bother anyone, especially Lucas."

       "Thank God if that person doesn't hurt you."

       "Oh, yes, prince. I want to ask you about the perpetrators who intended to harm my grandmother and grandfather. Is there a lead?" natasha asked with a serious and curious face.

      "Until now we do not even know who the perpetrators who have been presumptuous want to harm the king and queen. Even Azalea always gave me information about security in this kingdom."

Suddenly Azalea came directly in front of Natasha and Austin. Actually the girl was not surprised because she could feel the energy of her right hand, but it was different from Austin. He had been surprised several times by Azalea's presence.

      "Jeez, who do I think I am!"

Austin seemed to be clutching his chest, while Natasha let out a small laugh.

      "What's wrong?" tanyanya who now looks back on her face like before.

      "I came to give you a report. Princess, you should be very careful. This time it's not just the one watching you, but there are about four people and one of them is watching us. I could have caught them, but I'm just waiting for your orders!"

Natasha knows, she knows.

      "Thank you for the information. Just let them, while not disturbing my family, don't nullify them either. Please keep an eye on the king, the queen and Lucas."

      "Well, then I beg you to resign, princess, prince!"

Then Azalea disappeared. It's not just any right hand, inner Austin.

      "Then, what are your plans for Natasha?"

Natasha seemed to think and finally stood up while stretching her muscles.

      "I feel relaxed for a while, it doesn't matter that I practice too much to make my body hurt. Will the prince come home or stay overnight?"

     "I'll just go home, you'll need my help, too. You be careful, if there's anything, you'll let me know with a message from a dove!"

     "Good prince."

     "Ah, and one more thing. Please just be normal with me. I know you respect me a lot, but don't be so formal."

Natasha then laughed, seeing how Austin explained to her was really funny. Just this time he saw the man looking a little upset, because Natasha often called him a prince or you.

      "Alright, I-I mean I don't dare to break the prince's words."

      "Prince again!"

Austin suddenly displayed his regretful look, while Natasha was already laughing by holding her stomach.

Seriate...
