The Maple Leaf Kingdom
Page 13's

The sun is sinking, the feast of the royal family and nobles is over. The sky darkens. I stood at one window, looking at the sky that was getting blacker and blacker. Long enough, until the stars appear and the moon looks brighter.

"The moon and stars are so beautiful here" I murmured.

"They are only temporary, as beautiful as anything will still have to alternate with the heat of the sun."

Alfa stepped closer to me. What's he here for? I avoided it for fear of offending, and was put to death, my inner being.

"It is precisely because while it must be enjoyed," I said ketus.

"For what? Disappointed if it's gone," he said still with a view of the sky.

I turned to face him and said, "Hey! Your life is temporary too. You can't possibly keep quiet, right? At least need to eat and sleep."

I sighed, and said again, "Among happiness and misery. Wherever possible you will choose to live miserable, as much as possible would want to be happy. Among the many sights, where you might want to see death, you must want to see happy things."

"Your Majesty the King and Queen, dinner is ready" said the maid.

Alfa who was originally silent, now nodded. "We'll be there soon."

"Hey! Pstt, psstt... " I called out to the servant, then shook my hand, hinting that the servant's ear should come closer to my mouth.

"Where's my waitress Hannah?" whispered slowly. While Alfa just stared indifferently.

The waiter whispered back, making me say, "Ah! I see.. all right, let's eat!"

"Please pass by here, Her Majesty the Queen," said the servant pointing out the way.

In the dining room.

Klontang...

"Haihhh... is very quiet." lamented I looked around so quiet, only the sound of spoons and forks clashing with plates. It was only me and Alfa who had dinner, all the servants left immediately after preparing it.

"You are a princess, and now your status is to be the Queen of the Maple Leaf Kingdom. Don't you know eating? Need I teach you again that eating is forbidden to speak," Alfa advised, his face completely flat and cold. It sucks...

"You also just spoke, I have no appetite," I grumbled as I put a spoon and fork on the table.

"Servant!" his yell. Out of nowhere it came from, a servant arrived panting heavily.

Haisss.

"Give a new spoon and fork to the Queen, the piece is dirty touching the table."

I blinked a few times, my mouth open. I know the real Alpha doesn't have mysophobia.

When the waiter stepped in to do his bidding, I said, "No need, I don't want to eat."

The waiter retreated to hear my words.

"Take it!" alpha snapped with a murderous look, while her face was so cold that the cold might be able to puncture a bone.

The servant was frightened and immediately picked up what was asked, then handed it to me. "This, Her Majesty the Queen."

"Fast Eat!" This time I was being snapped with a gaze as sharp as an eagle as if to pounce on the prey. Wow.. this frozen one...

I got up and threw it on the floor the spoon and fork that the waiter had just given me. "I want to eat or not, you have no right to force me."

I was annoyed half to death, then left that gloomy dining room. Walk quickly towards...

"Oh, my gosh.. Where is this?" I looked around very strange. Too fast to walk out until you arrive in front of the wilderness.

"It looks like it's the backyard of the palace" I said.

"What a shit, what a shit!" curse to myself.

Instead of turning around, my feet stepped forward. To my own astonishment, the forest was so dark and cold, it was not even exposed to the moonlight. Then why am I so curious? Hehehe. If it comes back, the frozen one will definitely be furious, the worst if it gets locked up in a dungeon.

The forest was creepy every step of the way. I picked up the wedding dress that had not been replaced. I sat pensively on a tree trunk that was already lying on the ground.

"Hufffs... The servant said, Hannah went back to the Western Kingdom with her entourage of parents. The Alpha was so frozen and the inhabitants of the palace were as foreign as their masters. He still has Mr. Rudolf and Mother Refisha here, while I? It is fitting that the owner of this body turns his love into hatred. I get it," my dumel alone.

I sat down on the ground and put my hands on the tree trunk, and put my head on it.

It's still a forest in the palace environment, sleeping for a while there won't be any wild animals, right? I ask in my heart, the goals begin to close.

***

"Deek... Find me! Huh..." King Alfa drives his horse. Looking around for a figure in white clothes around the vast palace. There is only one place left, the forest shelters the collection of wild animals.

Quickly the man spurred his horse.

It didn't take long, the wanted finally met. If only sleeping deeper in this forest, maybe only the remains of bones.

The king of Alfa descends his white horse. Seeing the girl in front of him falling asleep. He carried the girl's body and took her on a horse.

"Hahaha, the white riding prince. Like in the fairy tale I read." he said when opening a little eye and it turns out his consciousness is still in the subconscious.

The king of Alfa again drove his horse, but now it is slower. Somehow in his mind was afraid of waking the girl on his lap.

When he reached the palace, the servants and residents there could only look at his master who was now carrying a sleeping girl.

"Your Majesty the King, I have prepared the room of Her Majesty the Queen" said a chief palace administrator, Refisha.

When in the private room of King Alfa Bellezza Dell'arcobaleno.

Alfa slowly laid Luciana's body. The man was shocked when Luciana suddenly opened her eyes half-consciously and said, "Good night, Alpha..." Then the girl turned around, falling asleep in a sideways position.

***

Bend morning.

A girl still closed her eyes when the day had entered the morning. In front of the door of the room that was open had already gathered several servants.

"How do I wake the Queen?"

"I also don't know that anyone without a vision of the King entering his room will be killed."

"And also, the Queen's body was covered in the blanket of His Majesty the King. Anyone who touches the King's stuff will be cut off by hand."

"They were very noisy," I grumbled softly at the words of the servants.

Fussing what exactly are they? my question is in my heart.

I stretched my body to find myself asleep in the room. In room? Not in the woods?

My sense of hearing sniffed the mattress I occupied. The smell of the frozen, this must be his room.

When he looked around the room, the servants just looked at me. This room was as gloomy as his life...

Srekk...

I opened the thick red curtains until the sunlight went through the glass.

"His Majesty the Queen!" The waiters yelled at me, making me look back, but not care.

"How is this?"

"Yes, we can't just step in there."

"If His Majesty the King knows, then the sentence is cut off..."

The last servant's words came to a halt when there was a shadow from behind them. While me? Enjoy the warm morning sunlight.

"Your Majesty the King, forgive us." The servants were hysterical and immediately knelt down.

The figure entered the room. I who realized his presence turned, but after that threw my face towards the scenery outside the window. Seeing his face made me remember last night.

"Let's have breakfast! You just ate a little last night" he asked in a softer voice than last night, then extended his hand.

Right too, I was starving because last night there was no appetite, my mind.

I received a helping hand and immediately placed it on the man's arm, then walked out of the room.

"Wait," stopped me when I got to the doorway. "What are you guys doing? Why sit here?"

The servants instead of answering stared at Alfa and quickly lowered their heads. I took off the grip on Alfa's hand and crouched down.

"Stand!" my orders, but they would not listen and remained on their knees.

"You didn't hear the Queen's orders?" said Alfa piercing. The face of the wall.

I got up and held the man's arm again followed by the servants who stood up but still lowered their heads.

"Did you not help with breakfast?" my many.

"They are your servants who will take care of all your needs."

Suddenly remembered something. "Ah, yes. I just need one waiter. Can you let Miss Refisha be my personal servant?"

"Oh, Your Majesty the Queen. Don't throw us out! We don't want to be in a dungeon" the servants chanted.

"Whisper!" the snapping of Alfa made me so surprised that it removed the grip from his arm. The problem is that my ears are very close to his face.

Haihhh.

"Sorry."

The servants looked surprised at Alfa.

To be continue...
