"Then if there are enemies, how will you save them? Don't they also need magic power from the Duke?" Said Via who was a little angry.
"Why did you suddenly get angry like this? For the moment there is no. Even if there were knights who intervened, or kings and crown princes, because they felt safe if there were them"
"Huf... Aren't they cruel! But I am sure that someday your strength will be received by them. I'm sure it is!" Said Via. Zack smiled hearing that.
"All right! Thank you" said Zack. They enjoyed that beautiful night again. No loss they get out of the crowd.
"Via!!" Someone called him Dak Via looking for the source of the voice.
...****************...
"Stella!" pekik Via's. He immediately gave a hug to Stella.
"Ah... Looks like I hugged you too tightly, I'm sorry sweet baby..." Via said as he stroked Stella's slightly enlarged stomach. They had not met for nearly 4 months and now Stella is pregnant with her 2-month-old son.
"It's okay Via, he misses you a lot too!" Stella.
Zack came to them.
"Greet me to the great Duke" said Stella.
"Good night Duke!" Said Louis next to Stella.
"Yes, good night! Why did you just come ? The show started" Zack said.
"Before the two of us stopped by your residence, Duke. But it turns out you're all already here..." Louis said.
"Well then can I borrow the Duke first?" Pinta Stella's.
"Ah yes please"
"Come Via!" Stella held onto Via's arm. Almost forgot Zack's coat he was wearing.
"Ah... Wait Stella, eum... This is Duke's coat..."
"You take it" replied Zack.
"Both Duke" Via and Stella leave Louis and Zack there.
"Well, what's the connection with the Duke?" Stella asked with a small chuckle.
"No Stella" said Via timidly.
While on the way, Via and Stella meet Hans at the entrance.
"They? Where the hell are you from?" Ask Hans.
Stella was surprised to see Hans who was the successor to the throne in the eastern kingdom.
"Ah... My greetings to the prince from the east" Stella said respectfully.
"Ah.. Ja. You're... Via's friend?" Ask her again
"True prince"
"We've just come from outside the prince and now we'll be in soon" Via said.
"Alright then" The two of them went back inside. Hans looked at Via until his figure disappeared. I don't know what he's thinking now.
...****************...
After Alex's crown prince's birthday party, the four of them return to Effenberg's residence. As usual, Lea and Leo returned to the academy.
Via also runs activities in the mansion as a caregiver but not as it used to be. Since Lea and Leo are in school, he has plenty of time now.
That day, I was very bored. So he thought of going for a walk first before picking up the twins.
Urban susana still feels the same from before. Via saw a unique food store. He decided to buy one for her and another for the twins.
"Excuse me sir, I want to buy 10 seeds" he said.
"Yes, please wait a minute" said the seller.
"Did I not hear wrong? It sounds like Via?" Said someone beside him.
Feeling that someone mentioned his name, Via turned his head and who would have thought that the prince from the east he had met yesterday and was now in front of him.
"Ah, change-!"
"Sttts... It turns out my guess is right!" Hans said as he touched Via's lips with his index finger.
"Sorry sir, how much did you want to buy?" Said the seller.
"Okay sir!"
"Wait.. You can't-"
"It's been... Let me" said Hans. Finally, Via could not say anything more.
A few moments later...
"This is sir, miss.... Visit again!"
"Thank you!"
"ohiya Via, where are you going after this?" Ask Hans.
"Eum.. After this I will pick up Lea and Leo... Eums... Master" said Via who was almost obsessed with calling him 'prince'.
"Hm.. So"
"You yourself why are you here alone? Don't tell me you left without saying anything..." Said Via. He himself seems to have memorized the behavior of the princes who like to escape from his palace.
"Huh, your guess is absolutely right! How could? haha"
"That's because the crown prince also did that"
"really? Living in the palace was very bored. I'm back east tomorrow anyway, it's a pity that I'm not walking around here" Hans said.
"Eum... Then how about we go for a walk? Maybe I have a minute before I pick them up" Take Via. Of course the invitation was approved by Hans.
Via takes Hans around the market in continuing to go to the most delicious restaurant there. Not forgetting Hans bought other items to make souvenirs.
"Try me on Via! It seems like it is perfect for you!" Hans put a headdress on Via.
Holy hooch! His face is very close... Inner Via.
Suddenly Zack who was working in the same area as Via was. He accidentally saw Via with a man who turned his back on him.
What is he doing here!? Inner Zack.
"Duke, looking at the current condition, it seems like only this area-Loh Duke? Where are you going?" Said Dion Zack's assistant. Zack was walking in the other direction.
"Via!" The sound shocked both of them.
"Gee... Whoa... You seem to be everywhere... We meet more often.." Hans. That made Zack unhappy for some reason.
"Why don't you pick up the twins? Besides how can you go for a walk with the prince! On behalf of Effenberg I apologize prince!" Zack.
"Ah yes Duke, prince forgive me. Then I say goodbye first" Via hurriedly left the two men behind.
Huft... I forgot that Zack always works around here to see his people... I hope he's not angry... Inner Via.
"Why do you treat him like that Duke! I also have no problem with Miss Via's invitation" said Hans who provoked Zack's atmosphere.
"Working? Why did you accept the prince's invitation? And again why are you dressed like that, are you running away from your residence?" Ask Zack who started to show his flat face.
"Why Zack? You're not happy I'm with your babysitter?" Hans.
It will be a long time to deal with people like him... Inner Zack.
"It's okay, prince... Looks like I have to go now. The city is less safe, you better go back to the palace" Zack went back to where he was before.
"All right then. I want to go back too. Soon Via will sign a letter to the terms of his name..." Zack stopped because of his words. Hans smiled wryly at him.
"What do you mean?" Said Zack who started to be lured by Hans.
"Well. whoa... Where was your manners, Zack? Hn... I've heard from the king and queen, you asked them to give her a last name right? Do you know whose name you're proposing belongs to? That name belongs to my family, so I can meet anytime I can even take it all I want.."
Suddenly a monster sounded from far away.
"It looks like what you're waiting for has arrived, as you said it's better for me to leave here, just take it easy Via will be safe with me as well as your children..." Instantly Hans is lost to his magic portal.
Zack is upset by Hans' words. Not to mention he was faced with monsters that disturbed the city.
Damnit damnit! Why was the time at the same time as this monster appeared! I had to hurry to meet Via to not have to sign it.
