His palm touched the alley of the metal door that felt cold, when there was no movement when pushed, his lips piqued in annoyance. It was hard all night he hardly slept, the door of his room was locked, there was definitely a problem, "Hhh, Herestia! Why is my room locked. Where is Ereluz?!"
The middle-aged woman rushed up to him, leading Juan into a deserted passageway, he whispered, "He was looking for you all night. I thought you guys came together this morning. The boy said he must know where you are."
Juan's brows were angry, had expected that Ereluz would look for him, but did not think that the girl would follow until the next kingdom, "I am in Castillia, where perhaps he will follow. Why did you let her go? I've already decided on you, haven't I, before?"
"Lu-Luz says he'll be back soon. I couldn't help it, she was so stubborn, "Herestia stuttered in fear, the anger and intimidation of the young prince almost making her breath feel tight. There was no reason why the state of his body became like this, however, Juan was a person who rarely got angry. Looking at her emotions, the entire fine fur on her arm seemed to be frozen.
"Why was my room locked?"
"If someone asks for Luz's whereabouts, I'm just saying that he's tired, doesn't want to be disturbed."
The man ruffled his own mane roughly. Even if he loves Ereluz as much as he loves Sierra, that one girl is more stubborn and unruly, sometimes he can even feel the irritated emotions that sting, "Damn! Why always make a tantrum, calm down sometimes can not. Where is he going now?!"
A slow step was then heard, followed by a statement, "Ereluz gone?"
"Dad," Juan looked at the man in frustration, but a second later bowed politely, "I'll look for him," just set foot a step, his arms tightly blocked.
The father whispered, "Juan, he should immediately reveal his true identity. I don't want an intruder to be part of our family, find him and bring him back. There will be no execution, this is the best decision."
...---...
Juan threw his body when he entered the carriage he had boarded from Castillia to Aragon. In it, still loyal two people who start to become his new partner.
"Ereluz disappeared?!" Pekik Feuji after hearing the story that came out of Juan's lips.
In contrast to the grandfather, Reagel's reaction was just laughing indifferently, "It must have become his habit, always troublesome and miserable others," in addition to remembering Ereluz's behavior while with him, he examined the tired face of Prince Juan, surely the man was also frustrated because of Ereluz.
"If from the words of my butler, he's probably going to Kastillia. But it is also impossible, if he passes through the main line, to meet us on the road. Meanwhile, it was also impossible for him to pass through the dangerous bridge path. After all Ereluz is directional blind here, he won't go alone."
Feuji asked again, asking for his next decision. Since they couldn't possibly stand idly by while waiting for Ereluz to return by himself, "Do we have to go back to Kastillia then? Make sure he really goes there."
Juan replied with a headband. He would further trouble the two men if he invited them to look for Luz as well, "No need, let me look for him myself. My emissary will escort you to a rented house near the Ebro river. Stay here for a while."
"Actually we can go back to the old house, not far from the ebro river, too" said Feuji. But what can be done, he was asked for help, obviously Juan will treat him very special.
That amazed Reagel, if Juan did not think Ereluz was Sierra, why he was so kind to the girl. Shouldn't he be angry because he knows the facts have been lied to.
Juan looked at Reagel as he subconsciously continued to be stared at, "It seems like we are the same age, Reagel. Just call me Juan. Oh, is there something you want to say?"
He shook his head, but his lips opened, uttering a sentence of question which contained his confusion, "Prince Juan, you shouldn't have to be like this. Your struggle seems to be very big, when what you help seems to be no matter the circumstances. Luz screwed up and deceived you, as well as all the people of Aragon. He'd rather be executed than put back in the original."
Juan was silent, digesting whatever Reagel said even though his palm was hot and wet.
"He ran away from our house not wanting to live a hard life, having been told his face resembled that of the lost Crown Princess, Luz took the opportunity and deceived the kingdom," Reagel returned with a sour look, "My words may be too presumptuous, but if you consider her the Princess of Sierra, that's not true. He's a different person, and obviously a lot worse. Consider your help for him, we also kind of mind helping a sleazy con man like him."
For a few minutes there was only silence, Reagel worried that his words would make the youngest prince angry. However, the man only showed a faint smile that could hardly be called a smile, "I never once considered him Sierra after knowing his identity. Too bad my feelings for him are still the same even though they initially falter. But believe me, as long as Ereluz is with me, he's never behaved badly, not too well, but managed to treat the inner wounds that exist. My wish to return him, as well as his desire to return home, I do this only to return the favor if it can be done."
"Now I believe more and more that you like her still as the crown princess of Sierra. Obviously you're just looking at their exact same physiques" Reagel replied. Though for a few seconds he had regretted his words, but now he back act with the mouth of the damn that often slipped it.
While Juan remained silent, he could no longer answer.
Feuji thus interceded, "That dawn happened, even though Ereluz and Princess Sierra were different people. At first it remains the same, if Luz is born in the future, proving that she is the reincarnation of the crown princess. Same with you, Reagel. There are people who look up to you in the past, no matter what year. Obviously, it seems like every time one person will like the same person."
Juan put the conversation aside on Ereluz or Sierra's basis again, "I saw him, he was the prisoner I had talked about. You guys are exactly the same."
"I would never have intended to see him, this past me must have been so bad that I became a royal prisoner" Reagel said.
"He's just the accused, now he's been remanded because there's no evidence of guilt."
"What's his name?"
"Mechen."
His brows suddenly frowned in surprise, "It seems Luz had talked about that person when we first met."
"Then we should see him too."
