THE QUEEN ANGEL.
42. Trying to Be Close.

***josh**** kingdom***

At the request of the Duke's father Richard Louise, Zepania moved to live in the luxurious lodging that Duke Richard Louise currently occupies to stay and stay for a while, because the room for Zepania had been prepared by his father, Zepania was forced to agree to live there.

With Zepania forced to stay at the luxurious inn, Zepania did not know if his room and the prince's room Pericles side by side. Now Zepania is resting in the room, while Tiara Angel, disguised as her personal servant Ivy, is also taking a break in a more modest downstairs room.

The two of them planned that after a short break, they would return again to the previous inn to pick up all their luggage. Fortunately, the distance is not too far, Zepania out also want to find a dress that can be used by Tiara Angel, who will go along with her to the palace Josh.

While the dress that will be used Zepania, has been prepared by the mother continued, namely Duke's second concubine Richard Louise. So Zepania didn't have to bother to buy and look for the dress she was going to use, at the royal event inside Josh's palace.

Zepania who felt unable to sleep for a moment, she also went to the balcony of the room to sit and enjoy the natural scenery which happened to be very beautiful. The luxurious inn happens to be close to the foot of the mountains and forests that have a very beautiful view of the cliffs.

Viewers of nature that is like heaven for Zepania, because they have never seen such beautiful natural scenery. Zepania stood by holding on to a guardrail made of wood. Zepania really enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery in front of her.

Without Zepania noticing, someone's sharp gaze looked at her. Zepania who is very pekapun can feel a gaze that makes some of her body creeps uncomfortable. I don't know what that guy was thinking? Zepania who covered all the power in her body, was unable to read one's mind with The Mind Control Of Magic (mind controlling magic.) that she had.

Tiara Angel is not with her now, so she cannot help herself to read someone's mind, so Zepania can only remain silent, until the person acts first. Zepania prefers to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery in front of him, rather than having to take care of people who see it unclear.

While someone who was being run by a very high curiosity, finally gave up on speaking first.

"how's Zepania Louise's daughter doing?" reprimanding a man who was on the balcony beside his room, someone who can Zepania feel his presence since.

Slowly Zepania looked towards a man who was calling her name.

"prince's good news." retorted Zepania now knew who was staring at him earlier?

Zepania simply put on her flat face, looking towards the prince Pericles who greeted her first.

"you're staying at this inn too princess?" ask Prince Pericles, who has now changed his position.

Prince Pericles stood gracefully leaning against the wooden guardrail, his hands placed in the pockets of his pants. Looks relaxed, graceful and charismatic.

"yes, I'm staying here with the family, and please don't call me a princess anymore, because I'm no longer a princess of any kingdom." said Zepania a little uneasy about calling her daughter.

"alright.nona Zepania."

Zepania is lazy enough right now to talk at length to anyone? he preferred to remain silent, and not continue their conversation, because Zepania did not know how to connect?

"it turns out you still remember me, miss !!" said the prince, because he thought that Zepania had forgotten him, so that when he met on the lower floor of the inn, Zepania just passed by without greeting her.

"of course I still remember you prince?" reply Zepania while looking at the prince at a glance.

Although at a glance, Zepania could see that the prince saw it intensely. Zepania tried to act ordinary and calm.

"if you still remember me, why aren't you here downstairs reprimanding me?" asked the prince who was curious about Zepania's indifferent attitude towards her.

"servant is only afraid of the wrong of the prince."

"is that the only reason you miss?" asked the prince who did not believe Zepania's words, he still saw the intense Zepania.

Why from the bottom of my heart? the prince felt a very strong pull, as if forcing himself to get closer to Zepania.

"then does the servant have another reason again prince?" replied Zepania who this time looked back at the prince with her flat face.

The prince looked intensely at Zepania's face and eyes, he wanted to look for something that made his heart strongly attracted, but nothing at all. Zepania's face was indeed very pretty in the prince's eyes, but not the beauty the prince was looking for, the prince wanted a stronger side that he could see from a Zepania.

But still nothing special caught his eye, Zepania was the same as any other beautiful girl and woman he had ever seen and known. There is no privilege that his eyes catch from a Zepanian.

"what's wrong with the prince's servant's face?" asked Zepania who did not like to see the eyes of the prince, who seemed to be investigating him.

The prince did not immediately reply, slowly he sighed.

"nothing, I just want to make sure of something" she replied, shaking her head, but her eyes seemed to be investigating.

"make sure of something, what is a prince?" zepania asked inexplicably, furrowing her brows in confusion.

"you don't need to know, Miss Zepania." she replied still looking intensely at Zepania's face.

Zepania, astonished, could only shake her head, not understanding the prince's intentions.

"in that case, apologize prince. Slave retreat first because it wants to rest for a while." said Zepania began to be more lazy to serve the prince.

"wait a minute!" prevent the prince while taking both his hands out of his pants pocket.

"what's the prince?"

"can't we talk any longer?" asked the prince with a different look this time, more gentle and friendly.

"sorry prince, I'm afraid it's rude of you to hold you back any longer" said Zepania looking for an excuse for the prince to understand.

'why am I talking like that? why is my heart not willing for this girl to leave?' the prince murmured in his heart looking gently at Zepania.

"but aren't you with your two man friends, prince…?"

"they're out now, because they're looking for something.

Zepania fell silent and just nodded her head in understanding, Why? zepania's heart felt that the prince beside her was an important and powerful person. But the power within him he was masked and could not be felt.

"why do you just shut up, miss?"

"sorry prince, I don't want to ask too many questions."

"have you forgotten we've become friends."

"yes, I remember that."

"is it not possible for us to speak like a friend who has not met for long !!"

Zepania fell silent and thought in her heart.

'does this prince want to get closer to me? is he not wrong? a prince wants to befriend a lady from a noble family.' murmured Zepania in his heart.

"what's the matter Miss Zepania? why even shut up? can't you consider me an ordinary friend?" the prince who saw Zepania was silent.

"no, not so prince, sorry servant just don't know how to talk to you, because you are a prince of the kingdom of Pericles. I'm afraid I'm talking wrong." - Zepania.

"why is that? a friend should not be afraid to say anything? because I know that you are very good at reading situations and good at getting along. So why with me do you become stiff?"

"sorry prince if I let you down."

"no, don't keep saying sorry, 'cause you ain't nothing wrong with me."

"but prince.…"

"let's get familiar, let's start by changing our rules."

"you mean?" zepania did not understand.

"i mean, let's use the call, me and you. To be more familiar." said the prince with a charming smile, adding to his handsome face.

"but prince, it's not polite to hear from others, I'm a noble's son while you're a royal prince. We're so much different."

"are caste differences more important to you than our friendships?" said disappointed prince who clearly visible on his face.

Zepania knew the prince was disappointed in her, Zepania also did not understand what the friendship was made by the prince Pericles. Does he have a specific purpose?

Zepania will follow its course as reasonably as possible. Zepania sighed before answering.

"just so prince, if we are outside the palace grounds, I will agree to use my and your call, but if we are within the royal palace grounds, I will agree to, I will still use the proper polite call. How can a prince be like that?" ask Zepania to be safer.

"all right, the important thing is that we are both comfortable, friendships should be made as comfortable as possible without any coercion at all."

"thank you for understanding."

"start now, because we are outside the royal palace area" said the prince with a smile that adds to his good looks.

"alright." agreed Zepania, because she had no other choice.

They threw each other a smile, and were silent for a moment until the prince said first.

"have you come to this kingdom for the appointment of the new emperor Josh?" asked the prince with his calm face and a faint smile looking towards Zepania.

"yes, because my birth mother is the daughter of the 4th emperor Josh, so how can we still have family relations with Josh's royal family" Zepania replied, explaining she was trying to be as calm as possible.

"i also came for the event, as the emperor of the Pericles kingdom was unable to attend" the prince replied with a more relaxed attitude.

Zepania had indeed heard that the emperor of the kingdom of Pericles had never appeared at all, even many thought and suspected that the emperor had died because of his battle with the emperor of the Dark Kingdom. Since then, the emperor Pericles has never appeared in public again like other royal emperors.

I don't know if this is true or not? no one knows for sure, except those who are from the kingdom of Pericles or often called the kingdom of Guan.
