The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Not Received the News? #123
The capital of Zephyra, early in the morning. The main streets of the capital seemed very crowded with a group of gallant soldiers who walked in tandem, and witnessed by the government community who stood on the sidewalk of the road. Every eye was on the gallant troop of soldiers, staring proudly and cheeringly, especially when the figure of the first prince, Welt, flashed in the second row riding on his white horse. The handsome black-haired man in a white uniform complete with a robe had a glance at every cheerful face of his people. Those faces filled with hope, managed to make Welt smile a little when she looked at him.
The number of the silver armoured soldiers was overwhelming, more than thousands, and they moved out of the fortress of the capital. For the citizens or people of Zephyra, the sight of watching the gallant soldiers pass by carries the impression of pride itself. From children to adults, they all smiled and stared in amazement at every soldier who walked through the main streets of the capital.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
"Cut those demons!!"
There were several calls from the people to Welt and his army. But the man remained silent, and looked ahead, leading his army out of the gate of the capital's fortress. He did not wave his hand or respond to his people cheering on him.
The news of what happened in the South is no longer a secret to the higher-ups. Everyone already knows it, and hopes that it does not get bigger and worse.
Bianca watched as the soldiers flashed by, standing among the crowd of people who were on the sidewalk. In contrast to others who exclaimed and were proud of the passing soldiers. The reddish-brown girl actually felt anxious, and agitated. Not wanting to linger among the crowd, Bianca decided to leave immediately and intend to meet someone.
"War will happen ...?! That's right ...!?" muttered Bianca as she continued to walk at her brisk pace, heading towards the royal palace fortress that was in the middle of the capital.
When he was about to enter the palace gate, Bianca's steps were briefly intercepted by the two palace soldiers on guard, "stop! Uninterested people cannot enter!" one of the two soldiers.
"I'm Bianca, and I want to meet Her Majesty the Honoured Queen" Bianca said, slightly bowing her head to the two guard soldiers.
Staring at the uniformed woman from head to toe, the second soldier said, "sorry, but we don't get orders to pass anyone a guest today."
"And now I give you the order to let Bianca pass ...!" a female soft voice sounded from behind the two soldiers.
Queen Caitlyn approached the two guards of her palace who blocked Bianca's move to enter. The two soldiers were surprised before they allowed Bianca to pass. Bianca lowered her head and gaze to Queen Caitlyn and said, "thank you, Your Majesty."
Walk through the front courtyard of the palace, heading to the garden beside the palace. Queen Caitlyn looked delighted at Bianca's arrival at the palace this afternoon. The beautiful woman in a royal dress dominated by white and gold shades seemed to speak to Bianca several things about the news and how the beautiful girl works.
"Why did you come, Bianca? Is there something or problem in your work that you want to tell me?" caitlyn asked as she walked with the beautiful girl among the beautiful colorful flower garden.
Bianca shook her head and replied, "nothing, Your Majesty."
Queen Caitlyn invites the girl to sit in her favorite gazebo - a place she almost always uses when talking to her youngest son, Altezza. The atmosphere of the garden was very soothing because it was quiet, only a few palace servants who seemed to clear some plants that had been cut.
"What makes you nervous, Bianca?" queen Caitlyn asked, looking softly at the reddish-brown girl sitting across from her.
"What's really going on, Your Majesty? Will the war really happen?" bianca asked, looking directly at the queen's two beautiful black eyes.
Caitlyn was not surprised by the question. His gaze slowly bowed, looking at his two hands clasped together on the table, before finally answering the question. The black-haired beauty smiled slightly and said, "we can't avoid the fact of war that's already in sight."
"Maybe you don't know yet what's really going on in the South there, Bianca," Caitlyn continued.
Bianca's view was downcast. His mind held curiosity. Queen Caitlyn decided to tell and briefly explain why the kingdom decided to go to war.
"Devil forces have emerged from the South, coming from the Southern Continent, and they have captured our Southern border, which means that their forces are already in the Land of Zephyra. Of course it becomes a threat, not only the Kingdom of Zephyra, but a threat to the entire kingdom. Moreover, we all know the history of a century ago, a great war caused by the demons," Queen Caitlyn told Bianca.
Bianca seemed silent with a look of shock fixated on hearing it straight from the queen's mouth - which is for sure what was said was not a lie. The reddish-brown girl looked back at the beautiful queen before her and spontaneously asked, "what about His Highness Altezza? He hasn't returned?"
Queen Caitlyn seemed a little surprised by the question, "shouldn't you often receive letters from her? I thought Altezza would write to you more often."
Bianca shook her head, "i haven't received any letter from her in the past few days."
"Just like you, I haven't received any letters from her either" Queen Caitlyn said with a slightly downcast look.
The situation was silent for a moment, and anxiety was clearly visible on the look of Bianca's beautiful face. In response to the anxiety, Queen Caitlyn looked at him with a gentle smile and said, "don't worry, she'll be fine, for sure" as she grabbed one of Bianca's hands on the table.
"Do you want to send him a letter? I can help, I happen to be planning to do so" continued Queen Caitlyn with a smile.
"really? Thank you, Your Majesty," said Bianca, smiling and bowing her gaze as she thanked him.
