The Story of the Wind Wanderer
My decision to choose you #23

Bianca's heart is beating faster than usual. He was silent a thousand languages, not expecting an offer from a prince who favored his people. Slowly, her beautiful face turned blushing.

Altezza, seeing the change in Bianca's face, frowned and immediately asked, "Your face is red, are you sick?"

Bianca broke from her daydream and replied, "Eh?! No, Your Majesty! I'm not sick."

"really? I'm sorry, if I've taken your time to rest" he said.

"No, Your Grace. I'm so happy to be spending time with you" Bianca replied loudly and straightforwardly.

Altezza smiled happily and invited Bianca to continue the journey together. Bianca then asked the question, "About your offer, Your Majesty, I am at a loss to answer it," she spoke with low intonation and her face looked slightly lowered.

Trying to understand Bianca's feelings, Altezza replied, "I chose you not because no other woman would want to be my partner at the party. I chose you because I wanted to get to know you better, Bianca."

Bianca nodded in understanding, then Altezza continued, "You don't have to rush to give an answer, take enough time. You can give me the answer at the right time."

Hearing Altezza's words, Bianca was relieved. The two continued their journey while talking, getting to know each other.

Altezza was not surprised by the questions and doubts Bianca had. Instead, she felt it was natural for the woman to ask so. He answered and gave a little clarity about the reason for choosing Bianca as his partner for the party.

"What you say is true, but the decision remains with me" Altezza said as he walked on. "And I have made that decision, which is to take you to a party at the palace with me" he continued.

Bianca was still silent, stunned, between not expecting what she had just heard and experienced, and not knowing what to say. Of course, the offer and invitation is a very valuable opportunity, and may also be coveted by most girls in this kingdom. The opportunity even befell Bianca who was chosen directly by the prince.

"Honestly, I'm confused, Your Majesty. I don't mean to refuse, but I also think who am I to be with you at the party?" bianca said, looking down a little, harboring a sense of insecurity. "Especially it is certain that the event in the palace will be attended by the nobles, and I feel that it is not a suitable place for me," he continued.

Altezza just kept quiet to hear what the reddish-brown girl said, because indeed what she said was true. However, other than Bianca, the man had no other choice.

Silence was created between their footsteps. The night wind blew very quietly and felt soft, cold but not too cold. There was no sound until Bianca finally said, "Maybe .. I can give you the answer tomorrow, if you will wait, Your Majesty," she said, turning her head and then smiling sweetly.

Bianca smiled gently and nodded, replying, "Yes, I will send a letter to the palace if I am busy in work, but if I am free, I will come to the palace."

"However, don't set myself as your limit in finding other women for the party...! I'd advise you to keep looking for other women who suit you. Don't wait too much and expect an answer from me, I don't want you to be disappointed if my answer doesn't live up to your expectations." Bianca continued the conversation with a very gentle tone and speech, warning Altezza not to be too hopeful.

Altezza nodded in understanding at what Bianca said. He turned his head and looked at Bianca, then smiled faintly and said, "Well, but I decided to keep waiting for your answer. If your answer doesn't match my expectations, then I'll assume it's not our destiny to be together at the party." Bianca just smiled hearing what Altezza said about staying waiting for his answer.

They both continued walking in the park, until finally Altezza decided to take Bianca back to her dorm. Bianca had refused to be delivered, because of course it would be troublesome. However, Altezza did not change his decision.

"Where do you live?" altezza asked, while walking through the main road that was not too crowded because the sky was dark.

"Away, Your Majesty. I live in a female dormitory located at the end of the city," replied Bianca, slightly bowed, feeling unwell for inconveniencing a prince by delivering her.

"Drama?" muttered Altezza, looking to keep a lot of questions in mind.

Bianca nodded with a faint smile, her gaze continuing to look at her footsteps. He then went back to speaking, "This is my residence after my mother died."

Hearing that, Altezza did not wonder more, "Sorry," he said.

Bianca chuckled and smiled cheerfully, "It's okay, it's also been a long time."

Their feet headed for the night market held in one of the shopping districts. The night market was not held every day and it happened that night was the time of the night market. It looks crowded with traders and visitors.

"How about we just stop by for a second?" altezza said, pointing towards the bustling night market.

"No need, Your Honor. I don't want to trouble you," replied Bianca, feeling unwell.

However, not hearing Bianca's words, Altezza walked faster than her while saying, "That's okay. I want to take you there, so I don't mind."

"Well," Bianca followed Prince Altezza. They both stopped at the night market which was only held once a month. The night market was quite crowded with many merchants offering their merchandise. There are many clothes and clothes sold and various types of culinary quality.
