The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Talking to King #66

"What are you talking about, Altezza?!"

King Aiden looked quite angry as well as surprised after hearing what his youngest son had said. The morning was greeted with seemingly unpleasant news for the King in his throne room.

Altezza decided to speak and tell about his decision to travel to King Aiden, and it seems that the results of what he said were as expected. There was no one else in the throne room, only King Aiden and Altezza faced each other.

"Tell me you're not serious, are you?" king Aiden asked, looking to be sure.

The question immediately got a rebuttal from Altezza who looked at him very sharply and seriously, "i'm talking seriously, Dad!" he said, calling the figure of the father without carrying or bringing up the title held by the man who sat on his throne.

From the one who had originally stared intently at his youngest son, it immediately slowly became soft when it saw and heard the call used by his son to him. King Aiden lowered his anger, and slowly got up from his throne seat, walking closer to Altezza who was still tying eye contact with him.

"Follow me ...!" aiden said to his son, before then walking towards the exits of the throne.

Altezza looked puzzled by what had really happened to the man. Not knowing what would happen next, even Altezza himself was expecting to be flanked himself, will be given long jabs, or he will get anger from the King. Altezza followed where the king went.

Walking out of the throne room, through the hallway, courtyard or central garden of the palace, briefly passed through the main hall before then ascending to the second floor of the palace, and ending in the balcony of the second floor of the palace. King Aiden leaned directly on the balcony guardrail, inhaling cold air in the morning, and was silent for a moment with a view towards the garden next to the palace that looked white covered by snow.

"Repeat what you were talking about ...!" king Aiden's Pinta to Altezza standing right next to him.

"I had long harbored the dream of becoming a wanderer, and I had decided to go wandering in early spring. No matter what people say, I also don't really care about all the risks, I will face them all when necessary." Without making small talk, Altezza repeated the conversation he had when he was in the throne room.

King Aiden did not turn his head or even glance at the slightest glance at his youngest son who was currently standing right next to him. The man looked very serious with his gaze inclined sharply.

"What's your excuse?" king Aiden asked briefly, without turning his head or glancing at Altezza beside him.

"I want to learn and know a lot of things other than just in our country, let alone being a wanderer is an experience I haven't had in my entire life, so at least I want to have it even if at least once."

"I know that we have a vast knowledge center, a great many books of knowledge about this world stored in libraries. But I also want to gain all that knowledge with experience, not just reading and reading," continued Altezza, trying to strengthen his reasoning in order to be understood or understood by King Aiden.

Altezza looked at the silent King Aiden very seriously and deeply, full of hope, "please allow me to wander, at least once in my life ...!"

"When will you keep confining and restraining myself?" the young prince continued.

King Aiden turned his head, looked intently at his youngest son and said, "hasn't that been the consequence and your duty as a prince?"

"What about your duties and responsibilities? Are you just gonna abandon her without taking responsibility?" aiden continued, with intonation that is not too high, but serious.

Altezza was silent to these questions, especially the words about "the consequences and obligations of being a prince". These words he could not deny, because he knew all the consequences as a prince.

"What about your goal? You're traveling for a clear purpose, don't you?" asked King Aiden slowly turning his gaze towards the cloudy sky.

The man in white royal robes looked down and replied, "most likely I will go to the Eastern Continent to the Southeast," briefly before then he silenced his mouth with a hunch and chose not to speak anymore.

King Aiden glanced at his son, and saw an annoyed expression that showed no satisfaction. The man was not angry, justifying that if his son was upset with him, "because you know, this kingdom will be empty without your presence, Altezza," he said looking back at the sky

"What difference?! I'm not the heir to the throne, so I should be able to decide and decide to pursue my dream!" sahut Altezza, looks upset with the intonation of speech that has been mixed with a little emotion.

Delaying the conversation for a moment, King Aiden sighed and was silent after hearing and seeing his youngest son who was already upset with him. He silenced it in a few seconds, before then returning to speak, "this kingdom will lose something very valuable to him if you leave."

"Without me too you must be fine, there's nothing to worry about, right? Sister Welt is an expert in magic, mother is a healing expert, and father himself is also an expert in magic. On the other hand, this kingdom has many great magicians, formidable warriors, and loyal knights and no doubt of its capabilities. All the people in all the corners of Zephyra Country are also very kind and friendly, always supporting the kingdom." Altezza then turned to his father and asked, "then why does it look so hard to let go of me and let me go on a journey?"

"Because I am afraid of losing you, Altezza," said King Aiden as he looked over and looked at the same dark black irises of Altezza as his own.
