The Journey of the Chairman
24. Episode 24
When everything stopped, Talitha who was initially surprised to drop her two cotton candy on the ground again normalized her feelings.
"Almost" he said stroking his chest.
"Who are these people? They seem to be the royal army that leads to the palace" he continued, seeing the men wearing armor.
Talitha then put away her mind wondering about the horde of horsemen and then removed herself from the road and left and went back to normalize the time she stopped for a moment.
At the same time after all had returned, the leader of the royal army who had returned from the war realized that he had almost hit someone.
"Stop!" shouted Leonard, The leader of the army that has returned from the war.
"What's up, sir?" ask Sean, the representative of Leonard.
Leonard got off his horse and checked back and found nothing there, but his eyes caught something on the ground.
"You step aside for a moment" Leonard said, telling one of the soldiers to step aside.
"Cotton candy? It looks like this is new" inwardly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? It's just plain cotton candy" Sean said.
"It seems like it's just my feeling that I think I hit someone" she said.
"Let's get back to the palace" Sean said.
Leonard returned to his horse and returned to the palace.
...----------------...
After Leonard's entire army had reached the palace, they entered the palace meeting hall to greet the kingdom's temporary leader, Queen Olivia.
"Greetings to the Queen" said Leonard.
"You don't have to call formally like that Leonard, I'm really surprised to see your sudden return so we can't welcome your return" the Queen said.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry Auntie. I was really surprised by the news I heard on the battlefield so I decided to finish it immediately and return to the kingdom" Leonard said.
"... It turns out you already know about the death of the King" said the Queen with a sad face.
"I know you're very sad Auntie, just calm down because I'm back next time I'll accompany you to drink as usual to help you get rid of your sadness, Hahaha" Leonard said.
"Hey, you're talking about whether Leonard we're in the meeting hall, why you're even talking about something like that" said the Queen.
While the two were chatting, the Crown Prince came upon hearing that his cousin had returned to the palace after 2 years of war.
"Who am I seeing now? Turns out you're Leonard's age" said the incoming Crown Prince.
"Celio? Ah or should I call you with the Crown Prince's call now?" Leonard.
"It's up to you, oh yeah how are you going to war? You never sent you a letter at all while you were gone" said the Crown Prince.
"It looks like what you saw, but where are those two kids?" ask Leonard.
"Who do you mean?" ask the Crown Prince.
"Who else, if not Kafel and Royce, where are they?" ask Leonard.
When they were little they always played together except for the Kafel who was always kicked out by the Crown Prince if they wanted to join them because he really did not like the stupid second prince.
"Royce of course is spending his time with his wife while for that fool you must already know how he behaves" said the Crown Prince.
"Oh yeah you said Royce was married, he married the daughter of which family?" ask Leonard.
"The second daughter of your Master" said the Crown Prince.
"Second son of a teacher? Ah I remember, that naughty girl who always bothered her brother" said Leonard.
"You know the commander's first daughter?" ask the Crown Prince.
"Of course, we were little friends when I used to visit the commander's residence to train, so I wondered how the shy little guy was doing" Leonard said.
"The girl I met in a shanty room in the teacher's residence and had a very weak body and was susceptible to disease" Leonard said.
"The shy little guy? is that your call for him" asked the Crown Prince.
"True, the girl always covered her face with a veil and she never showed me her face at all" Leonard said.
"You guys are so cool chatting, you, your room is finished in Leonard's room back to rest you must be tired and Celio back is also let Leonard rest later you can continue chatting if he has rest" said the Queen.
"Okay, Auntie, then I'll say goodbye" Leonard said.
"Let me drive you, may I?" said the Crown Prince.
"Alright, it's up to you" said the Queen.
After that Leonard and Celio walked together towards the place that had been provided for Leonard, but in the middle of their journey, Leonard's eyes accidentally caught the figure of Prince Royce who was walking alone.
"Royce!" shouted Leonard
He then walked quickly to the third prince Royce and left the Crown Prince upset that Royce stole Leonard's attention.
"Hey Royce long time no see, how are you?" ask Leonard.
"Why are you asking me? It's none of your business" said Royce, who was in a bad mood and met the most out-of-touch Crown Prince.
"What the fuck are you Royce! Leonard was well-meaning and you responded insolently like that, you don't seem like a prince" the Crown Prince yelled at Prince Royce.
"It has nothing to do with you so get the hell out of here" Prince Royce said.
"Why is Royce like this now? He used to be a cheerful child and now he's like a man who doesn't take care of his eyes very clearly visible and even the smell of alcohol is very smelled on his body" Leonard's inner self.
"Bad!" said the Crown Prince wanted to hit Royce's face but was stopped by Leonard.
"Hey, don't be rude Celio there are a lot of waiters who will see you if you fight here" Leonard said.
"Look at Leonard's brazen attitude, he should be taught a lesson!" crown Prince Celio.
Royce who was tired of hearing the Crown Prince's chatter decided to leave the two men there and continue what he had previously wanted to do.
"Oh yes I hope you are not the next heir to Celio" Royce said from a distance.
"What do you mean bastard!" shouted Crown Prince Celio.
"Hey, don't listen to him, he seems to be in a bad mood, so he relented Celio he's your brother" said Leonard trying to hold Celio who wants to chase after Prince Royce.
