The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Welt Meet Shiro #72

Altezza runs in the suburban area along with Bianca. They were not actually planning a meeting, but it just so happened that when Altezza was playing around with the children, Bianca passed by and accidentally saw her. The very rare sight he found and occurred in this kingdom, where a prince could be very close and liked by his people, especially from among children.

"What keeps you in the suburbs?" bianca asked, briefly turning her head and smiling, walking through the snowy pavement.

"Just want to take a leisurely walk in the afternoon, really should not?" altezza replied, glancing at Bianca who seemed to be almost always smiling when she was with him.

"Maybe, anyway. It's just that I was quite surprised when I saw you playing with those kids, you guys looked pretty close" Bianca said, looking down, noticing his two legs as he stepped even nearly matching Altezza's steps walking right beside him, "it's just that I rarely see the interaction of nobles and commoners who are as close as it is, he said, moreover, they are suburban children," he continued

Silently, Altezza only smiled slightly before then saying, "since childhood me and Welt were taught to always embrace anyone regardless of caste by King Aiden and Queen Caitlyn, respectively, and I don't want any distance from anyone my people."

"And that's what happened in the Kingdom of Zephyra over the last half-century, all the same, and without social inequality, we can live more peacefully and happily, he said, everyone can smile without fear and doubt" continued Altezza, looking at the atmosphere around him. He and Bianca had gone through a lot of people, men to women, and the children to adulthood, they all seemed to smile happily when they saw and greeted the prince. Many times also Altezza replied to them also with his smile.

Bianca understood what the man was saying, and it was immediately evident. A great many people greeted Altezza very kindly and courteously full of respect. They do not hesitate to sing a smile, for anyone they meet, even to Bianca.

"You are well-liked by many in this kingdom yes, Your Majesty," said Bianca, smiling slightly with foresight, and both cheeks seemed slightly blushing.

Altezza slightly raised his gaze, looked at the beautiful orange-colored twilight sky, before then saying, "i am very grateful if indeed my presence can make others feel happy and smile."

Bianca smiled silently at the words, especially the girl dressed in a simple warm dress with a red scarf around her neck repeatedly stole the look of the man who walked with her. He did not dare to turn his head and stared directly, just glancing for a few times when there was a chance, looking at the handsome face of the prince from the side.

"Where are you going, by the way? Is your work done this afternoon?" altezza asked, suddenly turned his head and looked at Bianca, making the woman quite surprised because at the same time he secretly glanced at the young prince.

"Eh! Um... My work is done early, Your Honor. I think I'm going back to the dorm to rest" Bianca replied a little nervously, "a tiring and cold day, it's like being quiet in a warm room" she continued.

Altezza sighed and said, "you're right, a cold day like this is indeed comfortable in a warm room, read a novel accompanied by a cup of warm chocolate."

Bianca chuckled and said, "i usually do that when in the dorm."

"really?" sahut Altezza, turned to look at the girl who still looks beautiful even from the side.

At night, in the evening after dinner. Altezza was already in his palace, apparently carrying a small iron bucket and containing a lot of fresh fish that are still alive. With a smile as well as a happy carefree face, the young prince walked into the garden beside the palace, and was immediately greeted warmly by Shiro who suddenly flew right above his head, which was a huge sight, a little surprising but fun for Altezza.

Shiro's return brought kindness to the second prince's mood, seen from his carefree expression while in the palace, and returned to playing with Shiro in the palace's side courtyard. He threw the small fish into the air, and was caught quickly by the two strong clutches of the white eagle.

"He's back?" caitlyn asked, walking slowly closer to her youngest son from behind.

"Yes, he's back" said Altezza, looking back, and a little surprised because apparently Queen Caitlyn did not come alone, the warm-robed white royal woman seemed to walk up to him with Welt.

Welt's gaze was amazed by an eagle with a white coat and furry that was flying around the Altezza. The two black irises were briefly seen turning light blue, looking at Shiro using magic eyes, before finally returning to normal.

"Is he Shiro you mean?" welt asked, a small smile staring at Altezza.

Shiro slowly landed and perched on Altezza's right arm, and appeared to show his tame demeanor. Several times the animal tilts its head, and tends to stare at Welt with her sharp yellow irises.

"Yes, this is Shiro I mean," replied Altezza briefly, followed by the voice of Shiro who chirped like an ordinary bird as he understood that he was being introduced by his master.

In Welt's eyes, Shiro was truly a very unique and special eagle. He can feel the presence of great and magical power coming from inside the body of the white eagle named Shiro - which is quite similar to the magic power of his sister Altezza.

Welt slowly extended her right hand, and was about to touch Shiro. But the intention was immediately undo, Shiro suddenly fierce even had time to almost peck and make one of Welt's fingers hurt, fortunately not hit. Altezza was quite surprised by Shiro's actions, and immediately calmed him down with a slight soft elution on the eagle's back.

"Slow down if you want to touch it, don't be careless!" cetus Caitlyn, looking to nag his eldest son, and then gave an example. He slowly extended his right hand, and gently touched the eagle's head - even Shiro himself leaned his head against Caitlyn's soft, warm palm.

Altezza chuckled at the attitude of the animal, and ended with a smile because based on these gestures, the white-furred eagle was indeed the Shiro he knew. Welt also smiles at how spoiled and docile Shiro's attitude is when he gains the affections of Queen Caitlyn.

However, Welt's gaze then turned sharp and solemn, looked at his sister and said, "Altezza, can we speak four eyes?"
