"Sister! I'm an adult, not a child anymore, or a princess who can only play with servants! Why do you always think I'm incapable? Do you and your mother believe that I am not strong, and cannot fight, nor are they as clever as you, and then they never want to make me crown princess after you become queen of the kingdom?” ryena asked in a high tone, until some of the guards and servants around her turned to her.
“Princess Ryena, stop,” says Anexta slowly.
“Not even a single person would dare to oppose your decision not to marry! You imagine, I can't even get married because I have to submit to the rules made by father! I should have the title of Her Highness the Crown Princess, after you ascend the throne! That's not fair!" yell Ryena again.
Anexta let out a short sigh, then glared at her sister while saying in a slightly high tone, “You must remember your own origin, Her Highness Princess Ryena!”
They instantly fell silent. Ryena herself apparently became very surprised after listening to the words that had just come out of her brother's mouth. His eyes were glazed over, as if he could not believe what he had just heard.
“Origin my proposal? That I'm just a foster child?” ryena asked with a very small tone of voice.
“Gosh, Ryena, I'm sorry,” replied Anexta slowly, after he realized that his words had made his sister's heart hurt.
He was about to grab his sister's arm, however, Ryena immediately ran from before him without replying or speaking.
"Ryena, not like that, Ryena!! Wait!" exclaimed Anexta with a slightly worried face.
However, Ryena did not stop running. He quickly went into his own tent, and sat on the bed crying softly.
Because of that, Xyon then looked at Anexta whose face seemed to be starting to rile, and asked, "Do we have to invite Her Highness the Princess to come with us, Your Majesty?"
Anexta actually wanted to chase after her sister, but, after thinking for a while, she immediately shook her head, and undoed her intentions. It seemed like there was something bigger that he had to finish first.
"No, no. Dad left it to me, he's always been sick from childhood. I'm afraid of his condition after mom and dad are gone. We better go now. I'll talk to Princess Ryena after her feelings improve. Let Princess Ryena be like that for a while,” she replied slowly.
Anexta then turned to the several servants and guards who were walking in front of her, then exclaimed, “You guys, please and calm Her Highness the Princess first in her tent. Keep an eye on him as best you can, as long as me and the generals aren't here!”
The servants and bodyguards immediately lowered their heads and exclaimed, “Good, Your Majesty!”
They immediately walked towards Ryena's private tent, with a slightly hasty move.
Anexta, Xyon, and Weim then proceeded to head to another tent, to plan an attack that would be aimed at the Silverians. Worried about the attitude of his sister earlier, it seems to have disappeared quickly from the face of the queen.
After some time in her own tent, Ryena, once again, attempts to sneak out of her tent unnoticed by anyone.
Ryena then settles through the back of her tent. He tried to step slowly so that no one could hear him.
After making it out quietly through the back door of the tent, he then ran up a little bit deep into the forest.
Then he found a river that was a little wide in the middle of the forest, and sat on a tree that ran over the ground, and for some reason, he did not know why, her heart started to feel upset over her brother's treatment of her just now.
It seemed, Ryena abandoned her intention to find out about the Silverians who were on the other side of the forest, and decided to mourn for herself on the edge of the clear river.
"Dad, am I so weak, that you think I don't deserve to be your royal successor? Is it just because I'm a foster child? Big Brother is also not someone with great strength, yet, why are you treating me differently? Is it really just because I'm not your real son? However, big brother had always been together with Senior General Xyon. He never even fought! Brother always asks his generals to do everything! So what's so great about it?!" he muttered to himself in annoyance.
Ryena began to shed tears, however, after crying for a while, she suddenly saw a man who had been standing next to her for some time, through the reflection of the clear river in front of her.
"Oh, Flerix!!" his yell.
He wiped his tears immediately, then stood up quickly and turned his head towards the man, while looking at him with a surprised facial expression.
The man was Flerix. Looks like he came to Ryena, again, with a bad purpose.
Flerix then smiled and asked, "It looks like we're seeing each other again, Miss. And this time I found you crying on the bank of this river. Ah, I have no right to ask, but I will try to listen, if you want to tell a story, to relieve your heart. Because it looks like you're running away from your group there.”
Ryena then smiled at the sweet words coming out of Flerix's mouth just now. The man even wiped away the tears still running down his face, and of course, Ryena immediately blushed in embarrassment after that.
“I'll sit with you,” whispered Flerix slowly.
“Oh, sure,” Ryena replied, with both eyes beginning to glaze over.
It seemed like he had become very carried away by his own feelings. Ryena immediately sat back on top of the transverse tree earlier, and this time, she was not alone. Flerix also sat next to him, as if he really wanted to listen to the heart of the princess.
"My sister is a queen, do you know? And according to him, I cannot and should not fight because I am weak. He even asked me to be aware of my origins. Tell me, Flerix, do I look so weak, or is it because I am not the biological child of my mother, that you dare not give me royal duties? My brother thinks of me like an outsider! We have been together since childhood!" ryena exclaimed in an annoyed tone.
Flerix smiled, then he looked at Ryena for a while, with a small laugh. What Ryena doesn't realize is, Flerix isn't at all surprised when he says that she is a princess, and her brother is a queen.
The man did not even ask her which kingdom they came from, as if Flerix had indeed learned that Ryena was a princess.
