The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 44 IS THE STORY OF PRINCE KEENAN AND PRINCESS CHERYL AURORA

Let's follow for a moment when Keenan meets Princess Cheryl Aurora at an inn outside the city....

Previously, the one who actually wanted to meet Princess Cheryl was Aziel. Not only want to meet, but also want to finish off the life of the beautiful princess.

How is this Aziel who in his head only kills? Didn't he consider it a good thing to kill King Bastian's daughter?

Obviously his wish was not approved by the other 4 magical boys. Because they already knew what would happen if Aziel met him.

After going through a little debate with Aziel, Keenan will finally meet him. The others agreed except Aziel. But his opinion is nothing to pique.

Keenan came to Princess Cheryl Aurora's inn after General Rainer was killed, the princess's Personal Guard.

Meanwhile Princess Cheryl who was in the inn quite spacious with her two servants waiting for the arrival of General Rainer with anxious hopes.

There was nothing in his mind that his bodyguard and 10 Secret Forces would be defeated by 5 powerful boys, let alone them to be killed.

What he worried about was that they did not fail to catch the 5 magical boys. Because among the 5 magical boys there was Dhafin the little witch.

And as soon as he looked at the five young men and General Rainer had revealed their names, there were among them whom he turned out to know. That is....

As soon as Keenan got to Princess Cheryl's doorstep, he knocked on her. And made Princess Cheryl's daydream scatter, changed with great shock.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Princess Cheryl, who is now sitting on a chair beside her bed, stared at the door. His two servants who sat kneeling on the floor of the room stared at the door.

Who in the morning has knocked on the door? Think they.

"Who?" princess Cheryl asked in a flat voice.

"I, the envoy of General Rainer," said Keenan.

Envoy bodyguard? But she sounds like a child, Cheryl thought. Or maybe General Rainer sent a little boy to tell him the news and 10 Secret Forces.

After considering his thoughts, he had one of his servants open the door.

But once the door of the room had opened and it appeared Keenan was standing while cross-legged in front of the door, Princess Cheryl who should have been happy but surprised so she immediately stood up.

Why was the little boy he knew suddenly here? Where does Keenan know his inn? What happened to General Rainer and the 10 Secret Forces?

"What do you mean confess to my bodyguard messenger?" princess Cheryl asked in a flat tone a little snapping, trying to hide her nervousness. Trying to hide his pleasure from meeting again.

Keenan did not answer the question immediately. Princess Cheryl stared intently. Then turned to look at the two young maids in this room. His attitude was so stiff and flat.

Then he stepped in without waiting to be allowed. After entering, continue to close the room door as well as lock it. Then he looked back at Cheryl.

"You haven't answered my question, Kanda Keenan," said Princess Cheryl still flat, still slightly snapping.

Princess Cheryl still calls Keenan with their usual time together call first.

★☆★☆

Keenan has not spoken. But his gaze was no longer sharp, but rather gentle. His attitude changed calm and polite. He continued to say softly.

"I am indeed General Rainer's envoy" Keenan said as if he did not understand Princess Cheryl's call.

"Where's my bodyguard? What does it mean to send you here?" princess Cheryl asked still flat. This time, he was surprised and suspicious.

"We have taken him to hell with 10 of his men" said Keenan calm and relaxed. "No longer need to look for."

"What do you mean, Kanda?" asked Cheryl in surprise.

"We killed him."

"What?"

Princess Cheryl was shocked to not believe it. His two servants were also surprised. They rushed to his employer's place. Fear immediately gushed on their faces.

Princess Cheryl does not believe that Keenan and his four friends can defeat General Rainer and 10 Secret Forces whose prowess is beyond doubt. It doesn't make sense he thought. Keenan must have lied just to scare her.

"You don't believe we're capable of killing them?" keenan said still in a calm tone with a small smile. "Even killing you now is as easy as turning your palm."

Princess Cheryl was surprised to hear Keenan's words. Instantly his right hand reflexively wagged forward. Then 3 silver daggers shot towards Keenan.

While Keenan remained silent in place while looking at Cheryl with a small smile. His attitude seemed resigned to receive a deadly attack from Princess Cheryl.

Since the 3 silver daggers were fast enough, after all, the distance was quite close, then the 3 silver daggers mercilessly hit Keenan's body; one in the eel, one in the left chest, and the other in the left, and the one on the right rib.

As soon as the 3 silver daggers pierced through Keenan's body, Keenan's body instantly broke apart into a rubble of whitish-blue mist.

Rounded the princess's pair of beautiful eyes. Didn't expect him to kill his playmate when he was 5 years old with his own hands.

He was separated from Keenan for 5 years, since his father invaded Keenan's father's kingdom and took control of it.

Many Keenan families were killed, including Keenan's father and mother. But he heard the news that Keenan could survive the incident.

When he realized that among the magical boy his father hunted it was Keenan, actually his heart was happy not to play. But then his heart turned to hate.

Perhaps because of his hatred for Keenan, and did not think that Keenan was going to kill him too after killing his guards, so he reflexively threw out his 3 daggers which caused Keenan to be killed easily.

The rubble of the blue-white fog had already disappeared, but Cheryl was still staring at the place where Keenan was standing. His eyes light up regret.

When he saw his 3 daggers stuck in the door, he just woke up from the war. And regret increasingly gripped his heart.

Why when we meet again, when the following must be separated again?

In the past, when he heard that he was betrothed to Prince Keenan, his heart was happy not to play, even though at that time he did not understand what it meant. She recently found out.

But what does it mean is that he knows that Keenan refused to be betrothed to him, causing his father to wrath and destroy Keenan's father's kingdom.

Whether conscious or not, Princess Cheryl appears to be retreating. But as soon as his legs stuck with the chair, he just sat down. Regrets still loomed on her beautiful face.

"You, if you hadn't turned down our match" he said softly, "of course none of this would have happened...."

"Stupidity is just a guise. Why are you so naive to think of it as real?"

★☆★☆

Instantly, the voice of a young child growing up a very surprising teenager seemed to respond to his complaints. And that voice was well known to him. He looked to his left side quickly.

For a while Princess Cheryl was silent staring in disbelief at Keenan who was also staring at her. Why is Keenan still alive and suddenly sitting in a chair by the window?

But when he thought about it again the way Keenan died earlier was strange. Though the dagger is not up to that when it comes to people. At least just stuck. Keenan must be using his magic again.

Realizing that Keenan was playing a trick on him, he immediately glared in the other direction. His face was back flat mixed judes mixed with frown. Then there was her small voice that spoke.

"Why have you always played me?"

"I've never played you, Princess," Keenan said calmly.

"Then, when we were playing together, you used to show me a show that you said was magic" said Princess Cheryl, "in order to cheer me up."

He unknowingly recalls the times when he was playing with Prince Keenan.

"Lately I just found out you've been studying witchcraft for a long time" he continued.

"And just now you used magic again to surprise me. To the extent that I feel...."

Princess Cheryl immediately stopped talking as if prestige to continue. But Keenan continued it.

"To the extent that you feel guilty and sorry for thinking I was dead. That's right?"

Princess Cheryl unconsciously turned to Keenan because she was surprised Keenan's guess was right. But that's only 3 breaths. After that, he threw his face away again.

"I hope you don't have to remember me anymore" Keenan said. His voice seemed to have a wedge.

"Who remembers you?" princess Cheryl said. "Who are you to remember? I really hate you now!"

"Don't you realize that hating is part of remembering?" muttered Keenan, but only in the heart.

"Prepare! I'll take you home" Keenan said after a long silence. "It's dangerous that you stay too long in this Amerta Kingdom."

"Why did you decide our matchmaking back then?" asked Princess Cheryl suddenly without touching Keenan's words. "Wouldn't our friendship have been okay before?"

"Why do you still not understand that arranged marriage is a cover?"

"So what do you mean?" princess Cheryl did not know.

"Your father has been targeting my father's kingdom for a long time" Keenan said. "To take it directly without any cause your father still thinks long...."

"...Because people know," he continued, "if my father and your father were friends. People will surely blaspheme your father for having usurped his friend's kingdom...."

"...Hence, in order to carry out his evil intentions, your father made a charade of my matchmaking with you. Then after that he engineered it as if my father and I rejected the match...."

"...After that you already know what happened...."

"Is Father Sehina his doing?" princess Cheryl said as if speaking to herself. "And father...."

The one he knew his father had high prestige and glory. Very far from devious and despicable traits.

★☆★☆

"That's it. Maybe at this time you can not understand the true character of your father," said Keenan gave understanding. "Who knows when you grow up you can understand."

"Obviously, I have never annulled our match, for we have never been betrothed."

Princess Cheryl looked back at Keenan after hearing that remark. Her pretty face no longer showed any disgust. In fact, it was now publishing sadness as if the sky was shrouded in cloudiness.

"You, may I ask you a question?" princess Cheryl said after a long silence. "But you have to answer honestly."

"What do you want to ask?" ask Keenan. But he could already guess what Princess Cheryl would ask.

"If the matchmaking is not a charade, would you accept it?"

The catch is right, Princess Cheryl must have asked that. So he answered wisely.

"Mr Princess, for now the matter should not be discussed first. The journey is long. Of course a lot of events will happen."

"Do you hate me now that Father has killed your whole family and taken his kingdom?"

"If you side with your father maybe I'll hate you" Keenan said bluntly.

"Does that mean one day you'll kill me?"

"Mr Princess! I hope you didn't say a no-no. You and your 2 servants better get ready. I'll take you home."

"Why do you still care about me when you hate me?"

"For now, you may not understand why I'm acting this way. I hope you're in no hurry to judge."

Princess Cheryl fell silent, neither asking nor saying anymore. After that he ordered his two servants to pack their goods that were not too much and not too complicated.

"Is the train ready, Kanda?" ask Princess Cheryl after the luggage is ready to be brought.

"I'll walk you through my magic, let's hurry" Keenan said as he placed Princess Cheryl's luggage in the middle of the room.

For a moment Princess Cheryl was shocked to hear Keenan say. It was as if he was still in doubt as to whether Keenan could do so. But Keenan seemed to not care, he continued to arrange Princess Cheryl's luggage into the middle of the room until it was finished.

"You and your 2 servants are sitting by those things!" pinta Keenan's.

Princess Cheryl was still confused, but she did too. Followed by 2 servants. After that Keenan stood tall near Princess Cheryl and her two servants.

"Where are you taking me?" ask Princess Cheryl.

"To the back garden of your palace that we used to play."

Princess Cheryl smiled sweetly at Keenan's words just now. But Keenan did not get to see because he was already busy with his rituals.

He moved his palms in front of his chest. Shortly afterwards, both of his hands were stretched forward with the palm open quite wide.

Then out from his palm a yellowish-white radiance widened and directly hit the three people in front of him. Before long the beam perfectly wrapped the Princess and her 2 servants and her belongings.

The following shock occurs. Princess Cheryl, her 2 servants as well as her belongings instantly vanished. Almost simultaneously the rays widened yellowish white color immediately disappeared as well.
