After spending the morning walking around the city, Altezza returned to his palace. Today's activities are minimal, maybe even non-existent. During the day, the young prince decided to read some books in the palace library. Sitting alone among the many tables of chairs in the main hall of the palace library, with three books thick enough before him.
The young prince looked serious and engrossed in the books he read, especially those books containing general knowledge of the geography of countries that he had never visited. One of the three books seems to write down a lot of places that store mystery, beauty, and questions.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Suddenly you become a nerd like this" said a woman in a red and white uniform, walking past the back of Altezza's seat with both hands full of books piled up. The woman was Adelia, who happened to get a vigil schedule in the afternoon until the afternoon.
"I have no activities today, so my spare time is very much" replied Altezza, without looking, his gaze still fixed on the direction of the book he was reading.
Adelia seemed busy arranging the books she carried on the bookshelf located behind the prince. Several times his attention was quite interested to glance and look at Altezza, because not usually the young prince seemed to be engrossed in reading books, even the book he read directly there were three books on his desk.
"May I know what you're reading, Your Majesty?" adelia asked on the sidelines he was busy arranging the books he brought according to his shelf.
"West Continent," replied Altezza briefly, continuing his reading, his focus as if it were hard to be divided by anything else.
Adelia smiled clandestinely without being able to be seen or known by Altezza - and Altezza seemed indifferent to his surroundings while reading. The woman finished arranging some books, and then walked up to the prince and said, "what are you studying for? I'm sorry I wanted to know, Your Majesty."
"Just broaden the knowledge" replied Altezza, brief and clear, without looking at Adelia who was currently standing right next to him.
Adelia simply smiled and chose not to bother the prince who was engrossed in reading the book. He then left and said, "if you need me, I am at the front desk, Your Majesty."
"Well, thank you, Lia," said Altezza, without glancing at Adelia who was walking away from her.
The Western Continent and the Southern Continent. The two books are slightly thick into two books that are more often glimpsed and read by Altezza today. While one more book looks bright blue, without a title, there is only the official logo of the Kingdom of Zephyra is a golden eagle that is spreading both wings that look dashing in the middle of the front cover. It seems like the book when is a book about the Kingdom as well as the Land of Zephyra.
There are so many things that Altezza himself does not know when reading these two books. The Western continent is famous for its natural beauty and snow, especially in winter like this. There are so many things that have not been explored, maybe even all the knowledge contained in either the royal library or the palace's private library is not complete. Especially when looking at a book that contains knowledge about the Southern Continent. Equally a cold place, even colder than the Northern Continent. But despite having extreme temperatures, the two continents between South and North there is still life, there are even two powerful kingdoms that control both continents.
Based on what was written in the book that Altezza read. One powerful kingdom in the North is the kingdom of his best friend, Cedric, the Kingdom of Arandelle. While the only powerful kingdom in the South was the Mystick Kingdom, where a prince named Asta came from.
Winter is a season that is quite extreme, maybe almost the same as summer which can cause prolonged drought, winter can also sometimes cause prolonged cold. Especially for the nations and kingdoms in the Central Continent such as one of them is the Kingdom of Zephyra, basically, all the people who live there are more used to feeling the rain and drought than the snowy winter.
"What about East?" muttered the young prince, looking curious himself, before then deciding to move from his desk and look for a book of knowledge about the Eastern Continent.
A book by the title of Eastern Continent, Altezza found it on a shelf not far from the table he used to read. Without further ado and out of curiosity, the young prince immediately picked up and brought him back to the table.
Books with covers depict vast deserts as well as expanses of grass and high mountains. The Eastern continent, a vast continent just like the other four continents, but different because it has a climate that tends to be hot although not infrequently also experience high rainfall.
Besides the famous desert is very wide like an ocean. The Eastern continent also has a beautiful green side, a stretch of grass and hills and trees that become the territory of a kingdom there. There was only one powerful kingdom called the Kingdom of Neverley that ruled over the Eastern Continent, ruling over the other small kingdoms.
When we get to the middle page of the book. Altezza's attention seemed quite interested in an existing picture. The image displays a beautiful oasis view, but with a very large and terrible creature that seems to emerge from the middle of the oasis lake. Just below the oasis picture it says "Cursed Oasis".
"A legend and myth that is famous among the people of the Eastern Continent, there is a Cursed Oasis that is said to be tempting to travelers lost in the middle of the desert. They will approach the oasis because of the coolness and fresh water. But at the right time, a giant snake will emerge from the lake, and give a forbidden curse to anyone who approaches his oasis, before then he will eat his prey."
A sentence that attracted the attention of Altezza, a sentence containing legends and myths about the Cursed Oasis. In the middle of the Altezza seriously read about the Cursed Oasis and the mysterious creatures that inhabit the oasis. Adelia's figure suddenly stood right next to her and said, "terrible legend," and it was enough to shock the young prince.
Altezza leaned back in his chair, sighed for a moment and said, "can you tell me if it's next to me?!"
Adelia just laughed and then spoke, "sorry, Your Majesty, I don't want to bother you."
"Just now you've been bothering me" said Altezza, glancing sharply at the library guard girl standing right next to him. But the woman laughed, seeing that she had made the prince shocked and upset.
Adelia then smiled and asked, "may I join?"
"Whatever, as long as you don't bother me while reading!" sahut Altezza, then continued reading the book about the Eastern Continent.
