The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Beautiful Day #65

It was a sunny afternoon, but still with the cold weather. Kenan seems to have just arrived at the palace after finishing from the Port of Ormos to help Queen Caitlyn record the food resources that will be utilized throughout the winter. The palace was not too crowded, as the usual days always saw many guards standing at every corner of the castle fortress, the palace, as well as some palace servants who seemed to be busy cleaning and caring for various plants in the palace courtyard.

After the task of accompanying Queen Caitlyn was completed, and everything went well without any problems. Kenan had the opportunity to take a break earlier than usual - which he would normally only be able to rest at night if Altezza had ordered him to finish his duties as a bodyguard.

The palace was very large and spacious, located on a small hill located a little on the edge of the capital, and surrounded by large towering fortresses that limit and provide a distance between the palace and the houses of the citizens. The layout is ideal for the establishment of a palace, because even though it is close to the houses of the community, the, they still had a distance of more than two hundred meters to be able to touch the sturdy fortress of the palace guarded by the knights on it.

Kenan seemed to enjoy the afternoon time in the courtyard around the palace, walking down the castle fortress, and feel the cold atmosphere under the snow that still fell slowly. The second prince, Altezza, is still not back, His Majesty is also not at the palace, as well as Prince Welt and his wife, and Queen Caitlyn who seems to still have a busy life outside the palace. The royal family is not in the palace, it would be a little quiet for one of the best royal knights like himself to be able to walk for a moment, even though only walking in the palace courtyard alone.

"Dine, are you at leisure?" a male voice came from the top of the castle fortress, calling Kenan who was walking under it to look at some flowers there.

Kenan raised his gaze, and looked towards the source of the voice, "if so why?" he said, looking at the familiar figure in both of his eyes.

"Get it!" pinta the soldier who stood on top of the fort.

Kenan also walked to a staircase, and then climbed to the top of the fortress, approaching one of his colleagues. He smiled broadly as he greeted, "how are you, Franz?" shaking one of his partner's hands.

The royal sword soldier smiled, sighed, and then replied, "of course it's good, how about you?"

Kenan nodded, "just like you."

"What a beautiful day?" continued Franz, looking at the city covered by snow with activity that is still massive.

"Yes," Kenan briefly replied, looking in the same direction. But his gaze turned back and looked at Franz and asked, "by the way, shouldn't you be guarding the harbor?"

Franz smiled broadly at the question, "i just got a transfer from the one who was originally guarding the Port of Ormos to the palace."

"Valuable opportunity, dong! Is it Your Majesty who transferred your duties?" sahut Kenan, already standing right next to Franz.

Franz looked over at the view of the houses in the city before then shook his head and replied, "His Majesty the Queen moved me," smiling.

Kenan looks very happy with a smile that is almost always singled out when meeting his partner. The man in royal knight uniform seems to know a warrior named Franz very well.

"It doesn't feel, does it? It was five years ago that we graduated from the academy, but it felt like it was just yesterday" Franz then turned to Kenan who was standing next to him.

Kenan folded his arms over his chest, smiled and said, "just think about it."

"I'm proud of you, Kenan! In just five years, you were trusted by the royal family, even being the personal bodyguard of His Highness Prince Altezza" Franz said, still with his warm gaze and smile on Kenan, how happy he was to meet a friend who had been separated for a long time.

"I myself did not even predict or plan that this would happen to me" said Kenan, smiling.

A very calm and cold night. Snow no longer fell, but the scenery of the entire city was filled with snow-white. Altezza has just delivered Bianca back to the dorm, after a long and pleasant day. When it stops right in front of the courtyard of the female dormitory that Bianca lives in. The young prince got off his horse, and then helped the woman down.

While in front of the courtyard gate, a middle-aged woman with long black hair, and with simple warm clothes in dark green seemed to directly approach Bianca and Altezza from inside the dormitory. Bianca seemed quite surprised to see the middle-aged woman who seemed to be the housekeeper, considering herself disappearing for a whole day due to being with Altezza.

"Your Majesty?!" cetus the middle-aged woman, and then lowered her head in salute. He was visibly surprised by the presence of the prince who very rarely happened to stand in front of his dorm.

"Are you the manager of this hostel?" altezza asked, smiling kindly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I am in charge of everything in this dormitory" said the middle-aged woman.

Upon hearing the reply, Altezza suddenly spoke, "sorry that Bianca came home tonight like this, because I took her on a trip."

"No problem, Your Honor. I was relieved to know that Bianca had gone with you" said the middle-aged woman, taking a casual glance at Bianca who was standing next to her.

Altezza simply threw a smile at the middle-aged woman's relieved expression, before then looking at Bianca who seemed to just be silent and smiling by herself, "yes already then, I say goodbye first," he looked back at the middle-aged woman, before moving back up on his horse, and actually left.

Bianca and the housekeeper were still standing in front of the gate of the dormitory, until the white horse of the prince was no longer visible, drowning in the dark of the road because it was far from sight.

"I'm sorry for coming home last night" said Bianca, feeling unwell to the hostel who seemed really worried about her.

The middle-aged woman heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Bianca with her warm smile, and then said, "thank you it turns out that you are with His Highness the Prince."

"By the way, how did you get to know and look so close to him? Whether ... you .. or she .." said the middle-aged woman, smiling and staring suspiciously to make Bianca blush.

"Please don't make assumptions or guesses that don't!" sahut Bianca, hiding his blushing face in a downed manner.

The middle-aged woman then laughed seeing the funny reaction from Bianca, "already, let's go in!" he said, "have you had dinner?"

"Already," replied Bianca following the steps of the woman.

"Oh yes, you definitely had dinner with His Highness the Prince, yes! I shouldn't have asked that question," said the middle-aged woman in a satirical tone as well as trying to tease Bianca.

"Dude!" gusar Bianca, strongest annoyed. But again the reaction invited laughter for the woman.
