Time Travel To Meet The Prince
Lies (2)

"In-he's gone, I mean he's dead. That man died saving me, and thanks to him too, I was able to return," Luz's alibi tried to find another lie, but somehow, the longer he found it difficult to lie. His expression was alarming and easily suspected by others.

It seems that Selena did not really want the continuation of their conversation this time, as evidenced by the direction of her eyes that focus on doing embroidery. Not at all staring at Luz or just nodding his head to reply if he was listening.

Luz was relieved for a while, there was already a lot he had been through in this royal world, but it was clear everyone was more familiar with the original Sierra. No matter what his attitude was, it was still predictable that he was just a con artist who acknowledged being Sierra, 'Speakly or later, I will die at their hands.'

"Oh yeah, you only have two days here, right? After that you officially live in Aragon and have the title of queen there" Selena later said.

Luz was more panicked considering that, actually he was not ready to marry now. Not just about her, but about Sierra. What if the real crown princess is still alive? He would be very hurt if he knew his prince was married to another form of himself, ah, more precisely with someone else. Because they have no blood relation at all.

During his seventeen-year life in his former world, Luz had only fallen in love once. He likes someone whose face is not even remembered in his own head. Luz met him when he was a child, the boy looks the same age as him. But it seemed, that time was the first and last time their meeting took place.

For so long, Luz had completely forgotten his face, but his joy did not fade at all. They are even more curious and want to find out. He was indifferent to all men, just because it was as if there was a heart to guard. But he did not know who the boy was, even if it was just his name.

Curiosity toward the man he had met as a child, began to fade as time went by with Prince Juan.

'That wedding again, what should I do? It is impossible to buy time, while my enemies are noble families. If it disappears suddenly, where should I go? Hareen or Reagel will definitely not come back to accept me. Anyway how to get back to them, I don't remember the Aragonese areas at all.'

'But if you agree to marry Juan, then I'm blocking Sierra. Honestly, I like it too. But...'

'Sooner or later, fate will happen. The lies will be exposed, and I will die again.'

Selena's voice made Luz wake up from the daydream, "Sierra, the children seem to have started arriving. After training, come with me somewhere."

...---...

Training for the young women is finished, Selena immediately took her cousin to go to 'somewhere' that she kept secret.

Luz actually wanted to refuse, but stopped when he remembered that his work would accumulate as he returned to his room. Well, it turns out the task of a princess is not so heavy but still tiring, especially she also has to learn.

Selena stopped her steps when she reached the corn garden behind the Kastillia armory, in the middle of the garden was a tall stone wall about four meters tall, nearby there is a small hole fit for one person.

Selena enters first, then tells Luz to follow her.

Luz's head emerged from inside the tunnel. The view of the waterfall and sunflower garden immediately made it lulled, this place is like a real paradise.

But the feeling was not good, Luz squinted at Selena who was smiling happily. He felt that all this time his relationship with Selena was normal, not okay but not too bad, why now they seemed to have become true friends since many years, Luz increasingly memicing suspiciously, "You don't intend to plan anything bad for me, do you?"

Luz's question made her bow, Selena took a deep breath, "I know our relationship hasn't been okay all this time. I've always been jealous of you, trying to harm you, but you keep being nice to me. Sorry, dan... do you not remember this place at all? I was the one who followed you here."

"Hmm, yeah. I'm sorry you brought me here. This place is indeed very beautiful," Reply Luz who ceaselessly looked in amazement at the soothing scenery before him. Although he used to often picnic to other countries that have more beautiful natural attractions, but here it is still very clean, both air and the environment.

Selena held Luz's hand, as the girl was about to head to the waterfall not far from where she was, "Now be honest with me, the woman who looks like my cousin. ... who?"

...---...

"We sent someone to send a letter a few weeks ago, after the news that the Sierra Princess had returned to Aragon was widely circulated" a subordinate assured her master.

The higher ranked one, sharpened his gaze, "But the letter didn't come to me."

"Really, we didn't lie" his subordinate begged for mercy, he knew very well that his king was cruel and merciless. Fearing for the safety of his own soul and body, he was even ready to prostrate under the feet of the king just to try to survive without being chased by threats that could come at any time, and it must have come from his king.

The head of the country seemed to nod in an instant, a sign of forgiving the mistakes of his subordinates. But a second later his legs were raised, deliberately kicking the head of his subordinate who was prostrating under him, "Alright, let's go down the underground path towards that old well, then, prove that Sierra's body really rotted there."

The bodyguards around, who had previously bowed on one leg, immediately stood up as they heard the king's orders. They also paved the way to let the leader walk first.

"Ah, when I only went to China for a while. Why has a lot of news of birds coming related to Aragon and Castillia. And how could I not receive those news for so long."

"We have difficulty entering other countries because there is no official permit. It is likely that one of the men sent to send the letter at that time, was still being held at the border gate between countries" one of the guards replied.

The young king looked indifferent and did not intend to listen to the explanations of his subordinates, 'If the Sierra really escaped and returned to the kingdom of Juan, then Aragon would be stronger because of the help of the Castillians. It is likely that they will soon prepare for marriage, abdication, and also the unification of two territories.'
