"So, aren't you going back to talking to Anastasia?" my question and his gaze seemed faithful straight ahead.

"If I had you, why would I look for him?"

He asked back to make me silenced by a shy smile. With a glass of wine in my grasp, I sat right next to her lamenting this feast.

I tried to get her to taste the food and many other things, but she refused anyway.

In this large and luxurious palace hall, we just stood still while staring at the beautiful number of people who were twisting their curves to form a dance.

Until finally, after a long time of lamenting activities we are forced to stop when hearing the voice of a girl who became an honorable guest at this party.

"Cassandra!" pekiknya was excited as he called me and scattered hugs.

"Oh, Duke Floniouse. Greetings." That figure was Veronica's daughter, who looked very happy to see my presence.

He only realized that I was not alone, so he graciously greeted me.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Arlen replied, bowing his head.

"If you don't mind, may I borrow this beautiful woman next to you?" veronica asked as she pulled my arm.

Veronica seemed to raise both eyebrows. "Just calm down, it won't be long. After that you can enjoy your time, hohoho~"

Can't you get rid of that hohoho phrase? It's very ambiguous to hear that.

"Sure, Your Majesty. Your request is an order to me" replied Arlen looking ordinary.

"alright. Come on, Cassandra," Veronica and I nodded.

Whether Veronica wants to take me where or talk about what, I can only obey.

Since she was the princess, all her wishes would definitely be granted. Even if he asks for life.

"Cassandra, I have something to tell you!" it was like something really unbelievable happened.

Right now we were in the corner of the room, because Veronica said it was quite privacy, she took me away from the crowd.

"What's up, Veronica? Seems very serious?" my confusion while raising my eyebrows.

"You definitely won't believe it, Anastasia apologized to me after all these years!"

Anastacia?

"Whatchu mean? Apologize for what?"

Veronica looked anxious herself. "Aish, you're too good. Did you forget that he betrayed us? He apologized for that!"

I'm not too good, I forgot.

But wait a minute, even he apologized to Veronica? Something really awkward here!

Was the two-legged woman really aware of her mistake?

Did I misinterpret his intentions this time?

Or is there another intention?

"So, he came up to me and suddenly cried and apologized to me. Of course I'm surprised! Suddenly she apologized while crying like that!" cecar Veronica at length.

I just nodded my head and heard it while thinking.

"What do you think? Should we forgive him?" tanyanya wants to hear my opinion.

I was doubtful, but since from the beginning my priority was to pretend to be the weak Cassandra, I had to go back pretending to forgive Anastasia.

"Are we not women to forgive each other?" my words made Veronica look a little surprised.

"But, Cassandra.. She has become a bully in your household with Duke Floniouse, what if she's just pretending?" rainya while putting the water on his face.

If Veronica was in doubt, it seemed that she was indeed planning something.

I have to be careful. Because the prick of a woman's evil plan is more painful than a stab from a blade.

As soon as I realized that the existence of the man was no longer at the beginning he stood back up, he had disappeared, making me wander in search of his figure.

"What are you looking for?" veronica asked making me a little flabbergasted.

"Ah, I'm just looking for someone. I think she just got there, but now I don't know where she's gone," I explained and Veronica put on a strange smile with both of her eyebrows that she raised.

What the fuck is that expression, Princess?

"Hey, Cassandra. I see it seems like you are now very close to Duke Floniouse, is there something going on between you guys?" her question teased as soon as the shadow flashed through my mind.

My cheeks were made hot by it, and I subconsciously turned my face away from Veronica.

"I suspected! There must be something going on between you! Come on tell me, yeah?" please with sparkling eyes and pursed lips.

I feel bad, but I certainly can't tell him that!

"-there's nothing going on between us, why do you think that?" I averted his eyes.

"Oh? So you lied to me? Are you lying to a princess?"

Somehow I felt Veronica's tone was different than before, and sure enough!

When I looked back at him, he looked as if he wanted to kill me!

"Then again, are you lying to me who is a princess?" threaten her with emphasis.

What's wrong with her? Why would she suddenly switch roles to be a cruel princess?

And if he had brought his status, I certainly couldn't resist.

I also exhaled my breath with a twitch in my eyebrows. "Huh. well, I'll tell you," I resigned.

"Well dong, I've been curious since then," Veronica replied back with a sweet smile on her face.

Are you a double personality, my friend?

"So, have you done that?"

Why does your word sound so ambiguous?

"Do that what do you mean?" my question and he seemed to roll his eyeballs.

"Don't pretend not to know. Of course I mean to do marital relations, have you done it?"

"Yuk!" I'm choking on my own saliva. How could a princess ask that in such a relaxed tone?

"Ah, it seems like it has. Hows it? Is it really as good as people say?"

How could he guess so precisely at such a target?! Does my expression look so obvious?!

"Yes, that kind of thing. Now, can we talk about something else?" reply me and he looks weird.

"Oh, you're so unpleasant, Cassandra," her sulked her lips.

After that Veronica asked me to continue talking to her, at least I wasn't too bored.

But there was something that always bothered my mind, he was no longer visible in my sight.

Where exactly is he?

...🥀...

"What did you call me here, Duke? Aren't you supposed to enjoy this party?"

"It turns out you're very good at theatrics, Prince." A man who stared intently at his opponent who was displaying a smile.

"Theatricality? More precisely what do you mean, Duke?" ask the Prince.

"What do you mean by attacking us in the middle of the forest?"

"I don't care what grudge you connect to me, but if you touch just one hair, then I won't hesitate," threaten the interlocutor with a deadly tone and a sharp look.

"Why do you always protect and love that cheap lady, Master Duke?"

A look flashed from the blue netra of the sky owner of one of the two men.

"Isn't that woman the cause of your sister's death?"

A strong grip was imprinted on the man's neck in black, until he knitted his eyebrows together because the non-playful power came from his interlocutor.

"You are very lucky because you are a Prince. If not, then you will definitely lose your head this time."

Now the grip was released accompanied by a gaze that is still sharp hindered.

The figure of the blue-titled man also left with a relaxed step leaving his interlocutor who was holding his neck.

"Damn it, the energy's not kidding."

...🥀...

Veronica had left because there was something she had to do so I stayed alone.

Because for a long time, maybe an hour or so has been missed, I really didn't see the man's nose.

I've surrounded this entire party hall, but still found no trace of its presence.

Aish, where did he go anyway?!

I got to a corner where there was almost no room. When I wanted to go further, I heard a voice behind the wall next to me.

Suddenly my steps immediately stopped, and I brought my earlobe closer to the wall to hear more clearly the sound behind it.

"Don't be here, baby...."

For the sake of the god Neptune!!

Damn, why would they do such indecent things in a place like this anyway?!

Why did I get to a place like this anyway?! I'd better go before I puke on the spot.

When I turned around and intended to leave, I suddenly hit something until I almost staggered back if there was nothing wrapped around my waist.

At that moment, I realized that something I had fallen for was a man.

I quickly stood up perfectly and distanced myself so that the necklace of her hands would slip off my waist.

"I'm sorry for my negligence, sir. I really didn't mean it." I leaned my body while pulling the edge of my skirt.

"It's okay" replied the figure. "You're Duchess Floniouse, aren't you?"

Suddenly, I raised my head. She recognize me? Who her?

"Yes, that's right. If you...." I hung up my sentence because I couldn't recognize him.

"Come, Prince Yari."

Prince?! Holy hooch!

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. It's very rude of me not to recognize you."

"No need, Duchess. Just relax," she replied to me a little relieved.

But by the way, only this time did I meet Prince Yari again after Anastasia's birthday party back then.

"Sorry, Your Honor. I'd like to ask, did you see my husband's whereabouts?" I just don't know where else to find that guy.

"Duke Floniouse? Yeah, I saw him. He left with a woman" he said, making me want to ask further questions.

"Then, where did he go, Your Majesty?"

The prince seemed to remember with his neutrality that could not be silent. "If it's not wrong, they go towards the balcony of the palace."

"Balcony?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you. I retreated," I said, then ran to where I was headed.

After I walked a little distance with a small run, I also reached my original destination.

But all I received was a welcome from the strong wind and silence.

There was not a single human on this balcony. Then where is he?

I don't know how many times the question kept going around my mind.

If it's like this, don't blame me for leaving you first.

I better go home and soak in a tub filled with warm water and my favorite orange peel!

...🥀...

Ah, finally after the exhausting journey, I arrived.

Knock on the door of the mansion and a servant opens the door.

"Welcome, Madam. Do you want me to bring you a meal or prepare a bath for you?" bargained for.

"Can you prepare warm water for me to take a shower?"

"Of course, Madam. I will prepare it now, then I go first."

When he left, I called him. "Wait a minute!"

"Is there anything else, ma'am?" tanyanya and I shook their heads while smiling faintly.

"I just wanted to ask, has Arlen gone home?" my many.

He looked confused and thoughtful. "Mr Duke hasn't come home yet, Madam. I guess, Madam went home together with Mr. Duke," he explained.

"so. Alright, you may go, I will go to my room," I said and he nodded obediently and left my sight.

I was wondering, where is he really? I thought he had come home first with Anastasia, but he wasn't.

Somehow I became worried, what if something happened to him?

But he was Duke Arlen de Floniouse, he was a very strong figure, he could definitely take care of himself.

When I arrived on the second floor and was about to go to my room, my eyes were locked to a slightly open door.

Isn't that the door to the man's room? Why can it open? Didn't the waiter say that he hasn't come home yet?

Did he forget to close the door when we were leaving?

Aish, I can't believe she's forgetful.  What if there's a wicked servant who stole valuables from his room?

Really sloppy!

I approached the door and tried to pull the handle and close it. But something in there immediately stopped my actions.

I opened the door wider and I put my foot in it.

There was a big bed in front of me, and at once my throat was blocked.

The deg!

My eyes are heating up because there are like thousands of invisible needles piercing my heart.

Even my heart beat was very hard as if I was pounding my chest which was increasingly tight.

My entire body was limp and tremble, with cries that finally broke but made no sound.

My palm is in charge of silencing my mouth which intends to issue a sob.

Whatisthis? What does all this mean? What the hell is going on?

Why is this heart so sick?

A pair of men and women lay on the surface of the bed with their innocent bodies just a blanket over.

And the figure of the man, is a figure that daritadi middle I seek his existence.
