The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Niceties #22

A few minutes had passed, and Bianca's working time was finally over as well. After finishing all her work today, the girl went straight out of the reception desk, and then looked for the whereabouts of Altezza who was nowhere to be seen again after strolling through the existing bookshelves. Bianca looked quite confused, because after she entered some parts of the library, she did not find the male figure.

But after checking one by one part of the library. Bianca finally found the figure she was looking for, was standing facing a very large and tall bookshelf, and was busy reading a book in both hands.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Majesty." Bianca immediately approached the man, greeted him, and then slightly lowered her head.

Altezza closed the book he was reading, put it back on the shelf, then turned around and said, "is it done?" he said asking kindly.

Bianca nodded smilingly answering, "already, Your Majesty."

"Do you have any other activities after this?" ask Altezza.

Bianca shook her head in response, "nothing, Your Majesty." The man in front of her was seen smiling at the answer, and immediately then offered, "if you want, I want to take you on the road, and talk about what I want to talk to you about."

"Road?" cetus Bianca, staring with a surprised look at what he heard. He really did not expect to get the offer from a man who was very honorable, even respected by all the people of the kingdom, and now the man was in front of him, looking at himself with a relaxed look.

"Yes, I feel that the library is not a suitable place to talk" said Altezza, smiling faintly as he looked at how beautiful the two light brown eyes of the girl in front of him were.

"Sure! It was an honor for me to accept the offer" Bianca said, looking quite nervous, giving an answer, accepting the offer.

Altezza just smiled at the reply from Bianca. He soon departed from the place, along with the woman, leaving the royal library. There was no definite purpose to where, but Altezza took the initial decision to take the woman with him.

Walking together on the sidewalk, under the dark sky that began to sprinkle with stars. The street lights also slowly lit up brightly, and the density of the city slowly decreased. Bianca continued to walk a bit behind the young prince. Some people passed by the two of them, must always greet kindly, and pay respect to Altezza.

"Why is your view always down? Is there a problem? Or is something making you uncomfortable?" cetus Altezza, slightly slowing down his steps, turned his head and looked at Bianca who was now walking right next to him.

"Sorry, Your Honor. I just feel ... that I am .. unsuitable to walk side by side with you," replied Bianca with a very low and gentle intonation, speaking in a very polite manner and language, and with a thin smile that he almost always shows when talking.

Altezza let out a light sigh hearing the reply, "carried to relax, don't be too rigid and formal ...!" he said, then continued to say, "after all I am the one who invites you to walk with me," he continued looking back towards the front.

Bianca smiled clandestinely while slightly bowed at what Altezza said, "well, Your Majesty," he said later.

"Oh yes, can I ask not to call too many people using the term 'Your Majesty'?" cetus Altezza, turned his head, and asked.

"Then how do I call you?" sahut Bianca, turned his head and looked at the puzzled man beside him.

"Just name it" replied Altezza.

Bianca seemed happy to hear the answer. But he could not do what Altezza said, because he thought calling an honorable noble like Altezza just by name was a presumptuous deed.

Altezza just silently smiled hearing what was said by the girl who was currently walking with him. The woman looks very polite and really keeps her attitude, so she does not want to call herself just by name. Sometimes he complains about the rules in this world, which require ordinary people to call the royal family "Your Majesty".

...

In a park located in the center of the royal capital, Altezza spent his time together with Bianca there. Not forgetting his initial goal, the man seemed to be looking for the right moment to express his goal. It's not difficult, but it's not easy for Altezza.

The park situation is not too crowded with visitors, because it is already dark. Altezza still talked a few things while continuing to walk, surrounding a lake in the middle of the park along with Bianca.

"You know about the fall party that's about to start?" altezza asked, slightly mince words, and tried to pull the topic of conversation leading to it.

Bianca's facial expression was cheerful when she heard the question, "of course! Isn't the party gonna start the day after tomorrow? I honestly was quite looking forward to it!" the answer.

"Waiting?" cetus Altezza, smiling at the woman's answer.

Bianca turned her head, nodded, and looked back to the front saying, "yes, because the party is a sign that autumn is coming to an end, and winter is coming soon."

"Oh, have you been to an autumn party in years past?" ask Altezza back.

Bianca still with her smile, shook her head and replied, "no, I only felt the party once when I was 10, and at that time it happened to be held in this kingdom."

The two of them continued to enjoy the night atmosphere in the park, walking on the edge of the lake which was quite spacious and long. Several times Bianca told me about her first experience following the festive autumn party when she was a child, and several times Altezza managed to be made to smile when watching the girl tell a story. The autumn feast is one of the feasts that are not only celebrated by the nobles, but can also be celebrated by everyone without exception.

When the conversation calmed down again, Bianca finished after a fun story to the prince. Altezza immediately took the moment to speak, "actually .. I have an unresolved problem, and it relates to the party that will be held in the palace."

"That's the matter?" cetus Bianca, reflex asked.

"Yes, at the party there was a dance session, and I was obliged to participate. But unfortunately I haven't had as well as found a partner for the party." Bianca was silent, looking really serious listening and listening to what Altezza said.

"Therefore I meet you," continued Altezza, turning his head and looking at the reddish-brown long-haired woman.

Bianca stopped her steps, and was again surprised by what the man said. He was immediately stunned with a blank look as if he was thinking and digesting the meaning of what Altezza said.

"Sorry, Your Honor. I don't understand what you mean" said Bianca, looking at the prince with a puzzled look.

Been long enough to talk. Altezza decides to reveal his original purpose of meeting the woman named Bianca. Although from the outside the man looked very calm as usual, but in his heart as if a battle was going on testing the guts.

Altezza looked seriously at the girl in front of him then said, "The king gave me orders to immediately find a party partner, please, and I have decided to offer and invite you to come to the feast in the palace with me. Would you accept it? And be my partner at the party ...!"
