Lunch time at the palace...
I had lunch at the gazebo. This time I was alone, only accompanied by a breeze from earlier.
"Today make what cake, huh?"
My intention is to make other pastries as a snack for the guests who will come. But being hungry, I had lunch first. Rice, stir-fry capcai and also rendang cow with thick seasoning.
"Eh, this royal cake is moon cake. Why don't I just make a snow princess cake? Must be a lot of people who like it with crescent prints."
While eating lunch, I kept thinking about what cake to make today. Without me knowing anything was approaching me.
That princess?
I saw the princess named Andelin walking over. He didn't bring anything to eat this afternoon.
He's on a diet, right?
The longer the princess gets closer to me. I also immediately finished my lunch.
"Miss Ara." He greeted me with both hands combined down.
"Greetings happy, Princess." I replied politely.
Don't know what he's gonna say. I sipped my water after giving him my regards.
"Miss. I don't want to make small talk" he continued.
"You mean?" many confused.
"Don't you think that after saving me from my father's slap, you can act at will to me."
"Huh?! You mean?!" I'm getting confused.
"I want you to leave this palace. More precisely leaving the two princes."
"What-what?!" I was surprised to hear it.
"You know, Miss. You don't deserve this royal prince. You're just a palace worker. Never mind getting both, one of them you're not worth it." He said sniffle to me.
God, this is like putting a war drum on me.
"Sorry, Princess. You have no right to rule me. You're nobody here, except just a royal guest." I stood up, faced him.
"Yes, I'm a guest now. But I will soon marry the future king of this palace."
She plays her hair in front of me. As if to mock myself.
Patience, Ara. Patience ....
I tried to patiently hear all of his words. A hurtful word to me.
"You must not be greedy, Miss. Know who you are. Don't want both." The princess judged me.
"Em, sorry. This conversation has nothing to do with work. Excuse me."
I immediately left because I didn't want to make things worse. But again the princess held me. He held my hand firmly.
"Hey! I'm not done talking!"
He's getting bolder. His fingernails started hurting my skin.
It's outrageous!
"Where are you going? You have to listen to me first." He pressed his fingernails against my hands.
I immediately defended myself. My other hand pulled out his hand which grabbed my hand. I put my hands back and locked her body so she couldn't move.
You think I'm the main character who just accepts being bullied? Sorry you got the wrong guy!
"Miss, let me go. It hurts!" He asked me to let go of his hand.
"You've gone too far, Princess. I've been nice to you. But in fact, you don't know thank you."
"Fra! What are you doing?!"
I heard Cloud exclaim from afar. He immediately ran over to me.
"Prince."
Seeing Cloud coming, this princess played her drama. He pretended to cry in front of us.
"Prince Cloud, help me. Miss Ara hurt me." He nodded to Cloud.
Cloud asked me to unlock the lock on this princess' body. It seems he has managed to play his part. I was so upset, it felt like I wanted to slap him in the face.
"Prince Cloud ...." The princess hugged Cloud.
"Cloud, I—"
"Ara, why are you doing this? You've hurt her." Cloud defended the princess.
"Cloud he hurt me first. Look it!" I tried to show her the nail marks that pressed against my skin.
"Prince, help me. I don't want him here." The princess was acting spoiled.
I really want to slam it right now. Surprisingly Cloud was on his side.
"Cloud, I—"
"I don't want to hear an explanation from you, Ara. I'm asking you not to bother Princess Andelin again."
"Cloud?!"
"Come, Princess. We'll take your hand."
Cloud just left me. He embraced the princess and left me alone glued to the palace garden. A moment later, I saw the princess turning towards me. He smiled cunningly.
Oh God. What am I supposed to do? I've been slandered.
Still not thinking about what happened. I rushed back to my room. However, before long the king called me to meet him immediately.
A few moments later...
I sat before the king and Cloud. I was asked about what had just happened in the park. I also told the truth.
"Miss, I don't know the truth because no witnesses have seen you. But, I trust you more than Andelin."
Hah, thank goodness. I was able to breathe a little sigh of relief after hearing the king's response to my story.
"cloud. You have to be careful with Andelin. Don't let Andelin use you." The king said to his son.
"Good, Dad." Cloud answered immediately.
"In the near future the invitations will arrive. Immediately complete the pending task," the king asked again.
"Okay, Your Majesty." I also know.
"For a while enough. You can continue today's activities."
The king ended this brief meeting. He just called me to ask the truth. I felt that I had done nothing wrong, so I acted normally in front of the king. It seems that my attitude was also realized by Cloud.
I don't know why I feel like there's some distance between us. Cloud did not rebuke me from earlier.
Is he tired?
After saying goodbye, I immediately walked out of the room and headed towards the palace kitchen. Cloud was still silent and did not reprimand me at all.
Let it. Maybe this is a test for me.
I left him, and we parted at the entrance of the king's room. I continued this footstep towards the palace kitchen. I am going to entertain myself by making a cake. But when he got there...
"Miss, forgive us. You are forbidden to enter the kitchen" said one of the chefs.
"Lho, why? Did I make a mistake?" many confused.
"Sorry, Miss. We can't tell you why. It's good if Miss leaves this place soon."
I don't understand what's going on. Suddenly things became uncomfortable like this.
What exactly is going on?
I languidly returned to my room. Maybe I should just take a nap. Relaxing the brain from erratic thoughts.
I don't want to be prejudiced. Let God show me the truth. I accepted every decision. However, when I returned to the room, I saw that my room was empty. There's nothing inside.
Holy jeez?!
I was surprised by what I saw. Immediately I became confused by what was going on.
I'm just going to Rain's.
I'll be walking straight to Rain's residence. I want to ask him about this.
