The Trapped Princess
Go To Return

"What do you want to do to ask my permission to leave the kingdom?" elrick looked at Alardo suspiciously.

Alardo stared at the star-filled night sky, the full moon also appeared as if it did not want to lose beautify the sky. "As with the endless sky, I believe the world is the same, Your Majesty."

Alardo took a deep breath, he observed several visible constellations, "he realized that the knowledge he possessed was still very shallow, the servant wanted to be free to circle the world while increasing the knowledge of the servant. No teacher is better than experience, I'm sure Your Highness is wise, won't hold you here, will he?"

Alardo turned to look at Elrick who was now looking at him with a suspicious look, "are you sure that you want to go to increase your knowledge? Since when did Mr Alardo, who was so fond of this kingdom, choose to leave?"

"Ehm," Alardo felt a little cornered. Growing up with the crown prince since childhood, they knew each other's personalities. "Don't humans change with age?"

"So you forgot that you're not human?" Elrick did not want to lose, he stared intently at Alardo's pair of eyes. He moved closer, so that there was almost no distance between the two. "Who is he? Who's the woman who made you want to go?"

Al pushes Elrick's body, so Elrick is forced to step back a few steps. "What are you talking about? It doesn't really make sense! I just want to go! POINT!"

Elrick shook his head, "I just want to give you Mr. Alardo's advice. Don't love someone too much if you're not ready for the heartache."

Al felt his face turn hot, "whatever Your Majesty says, with or without His Majesty's permission, I will still leave!"

Elrick exhaled harshly, "people say, as a parent must be willing to let go of his son in order to see his son thrive out there. There's nothing I can do, go if that's what you want."

Alardo blinked his pair of eyes, "His Majesty allowed a servant?"

Elrick nodded, "he-em, go!" Elrick looked at Alatdo who looked confused at his decision. "Go now before I change my mind!"

"See you, Your Majesty" said Alardo, who regained consciousness from his shock. He bowed in greeting farewell.

"He will definitely return if he runs out of money" said Elrick, who was caught hearing Alardo.

"Don't expect anything that won't necessarily happen, Your Majesty. Until we meet again" Jata Alardo disappeared into the portal.

"Finally you came too!"

Alardo bowed in salute to Ariadna who seemed to be waiting for him inside the cave. He then approached Blevine, whom he assigned to guard at the mouth of the cave. "Thank you Blevine, you can rest first, we still have time" Alardo said, stroking Blevine's head, which closed his eyes.

"Teacher, how's Your Majesty doing?" ask Alardo who now sits beside Ariadna.

"Eleanor is very smart to hide her emotions," Aridana looked away. "When he managed to fuse with the fragment and open his eyes, I thought he wanted to go back and hold his family. But it turns out his desire instead wanted to bury the Princess Eleanor, really a child that is difficult to guess."

Alardo smiled meaningfully, "really, Your Majesty is indeed difficult to guess. It has a soft heart, but it is far from fragile. His strength was immeasurable, but not the slightest bit made him arrogant. He was willing to leave anything for the sake of those he loved" Alardo murmured. "But Master, is it appropriate not to take Gentala on this journey?"

"Gentala conveyed his oath of allegiance to Eleanor, if she had left the Princess's tomb, the royal family would have felt strange and tried to unearth the strangeness that occurred," Ariadna replied straightforwardly. "In addition he needs to breed" added Ariadna with a big smile.

"Breeding?" alardo did not understand Ariadna's thinking.

Ariadna nodded, "not just Gentala, you are also Al! Isn't it time you got married and had a child? I'm sure the white clan and the old Agnor must have urged you too, right?"

Ariadna shook her head, "look at me, unmarried hundreds of years of trash! Don't be like my aging, lonely self, if you want to live a boring life like me?"

"Teacher doesn't age at all, other people who see you will think you are in your twenties, and again I don't mind having a life like you, because in the end you met His Majesty," Alardo flips Ariadna's words.

"Ah, so the point is that you'll be single for the rest of your life as long as you can see Eleanor" Ariadna said her words out loud.

"Teacher! It's not! Can you please keep your voice down, what if Your Majesty hears it and misunderstands it?" Alardo panicked dqn nagging Ariadna.

"Let Eleanor know YOU LOVE HER!" Tempta Ariadna while shouting, her voice echoed throughout the cave.

"TEACHER!" Alardo thoughtlessly silenced Ariadna's mouth, "please help Master, I realize I don't deserve Your Majesty, so please let me be by her side without being a burden."

"Hmmmmm..ummmppph," Ariadna tried to remove Alardo's silence, but failed.

"What are you guys doing?"

Alardo turned his gaze to the mouth of the cave, seeing Eleanor who appeared to be wearing a long black robe.

"Your Majesty has arrived" Blevine said, informing his bewildered master.

"Your Majesty, wasn't His Majesty in the cave just now?" alardo's question was still silencing Ariadna's mouth involuntarily.

"Yes, I just arrived after saying goodbye to Gentala," Elea replied quickly.

"So..." Alardo looked at Ariadna who was now looking at him angrily. "I'm sorry Master" said Alardo, releasing his handcuffs on Ariadna's mouth. He ran and hid behind Eleanor.

"FOUNDATE PUPIL SASSY! COME HERE, DON'T JUST DARE BEHIND ELEANOR!" Ariadna looked angry, her face red.

"What really happened to Blevine?" eleanor asked Blevine, after which Alardo left her side and ran in any direction avoiding Ariadna's pursuit.

"Not to be concerned about His Majesty, there are times when they turn into mice and cats" Blevine replied with eyes that followed Alardo and Ariadna.

Eleanor breathed a coarse breath, "even though it looked hostile, but in fact they were very close. Isn't it adorable to see the two of them like that Blevine?"

Blevine nodded, recalling that Ariadna had unwittingly replaced the long-lost mother in Alardo's heart. "Right Your Majesty," Blevine replied briefly.

"The trip will definitely not be boring because there are both, I am very grateful."

Blevine looked at Eleanor beside him, "is Your Majesty sure that he will continue to travel?"

Eleanor nodded, "of course Blevine. I have to go to get back. I want to see things out there, before I finally decide to go back home."
