YUWARAJA
The Day of Engagement III

The next day, after Candra had met Mother Concubine, she did not have any special schedule today. Until the sun was directly overhead, Candra remained silent inside her room watching the cityscape so lively.

There are no more two days left before the engagement day of Candra and Siska. Everyone in the Palace looked busy preparing all sorts of things, the invitation letter had already been distributed to every Noble and the great merchants. Candra's engagement was arguably a closed event only a few relatives, Nobles, and wholesalers were invited. Three days of preparation is still possible.

For now Candra considers her visit to that place still more important when compared to preparing for her Engagement Day.

Candra looked far ahead, towards the westernmost of the Kingdom. Neglected people who already have nothing that has lost the purpose of life and people who are waiting for death to pick up, all kinds of people that we can meet in the Slum District. If it should be explained briefly. The slum district is a place for people who are outcast and desperate for life.

But still, even in the garbage can we find one or two things that are still useful. Especially when it comes to humans, Candra believes there will always be exceptions. That's why Candra currently plans to look for such a person who still lives in the Slum District.

He plans to leave in the afternoon. Actually Candra has long wanted to go there, only she was preoccupied by the war and her visit to Harsana some time ago. Luckily today he had no activities, so today is the best time to go there.

"Prince, the preparations are done. We can leave right now!" The large screen inside Candra's room lit up, showing Anna's figure telling her it was time to leave for the slum district.

Anna now does not wear her servant's clothes, she wears ordinary folk clothes that we can find easily on every roadside. Slum District is an unkempt area, the residents there assume that the Kingdom does not care for them, so the residents in the Slum District are usually not friendly to Nobles.

If there were not enough jobs for daily meals and security from monster attacks and bandits, the people there would have long since left the slums.

"All right, I'll be there in ten minutes. Ah, true. How did the guy react?"

It was impossible for a person like him to be unaware of Candra's actions. Given her vast network of information, so rather than trying to hide Candra would be better off being straightforward with her.

Only, there's still one problem. Siska's daughter Candra reluctantly invites her away, but considering how stubborn she is about to come along, she says she wants to see the Slum District directly by her own eyes. Candra is confused, she is not good at arguing with a woman especially when it comes to a Princess. Is every princess so stubborn? Candra couldn't help but wonder.

Candra and Princess Siska immediately asked the person for permission. Candra hoped that the person would refuse the participation of Princess Siska, but who would have thought that Candra's answer could be so unexpected.

The man sitting on his throne spoke as he waved to the two of them, "It's okay, go. You just have to take good care of her."

The man Candra was referring to was her own father, the King of the Nataprawira Kingdom. If you know it will be like this Candra will not tell Princess Siska will plan her visit to the Slum District. Well ... At first even Candra did not intend to tell him either, but it just so happened that when Candra and Anna spoke Princess Siska was present at that time.

On the other hand, Princess Siska displayed a triumphant face and with the expression of a cheerful girl like an ordinary girl, she said with a hint of arrogance, "Look! I'll stay with you so please take good care of me, Prince!"

For the first time Candra saw her acting like a girl her age. It might not be bad to ask her to go there. Although there is no love between them, Candra feels she and the girl have a sense of fate and tolerance. Both sons of the King were helpless enough to be the size of their high set.

"Master told us to be careful while there," The big screen was now back in black accompanied by the disappearance of Anna's figure from view.

Immediately the screen began to sink to the back of the wall as it fused with the wall in order to be used as a mirror. This is what distinguishes Nataprawira from other Kingdoms, the technology in this Kingdom has been far developed when compared to other Kingdoms in the Western Continent.

Candra is about to leave for the slum district with Anna, Siska, and the two warriors escorting them. Both guards were Harsana soldiers. King Abisatya who knew that his daughter was going to an uncontrollable place immediately prepared two of his best guards.

Really, a caring father.

Candra was just confused, why is it that Dad is as good as he is to let his daughter marry the Prince of the Kingdom who is full of these Fucking Nobles? Maybe he will know the answer himself.

***

Candra arrived in front of the gate of the Central District, choosing a quiet suburb of activity so as not to be too conspicuous when she got out of the Royal car. After finding a suitable place Candra immediately came out, and walked towards their meeting place. Anna and Princess Siska were already at the meeting place.

This Central District is a gathering place for various types of people with different status. Many merchants peddle their products, ranging from food to accessories. Although she was born in this Kingdom, Candra was still unfamiliar with the crowd.

Where are they?

Candra had already reached the meeting place, but Anna and Princess Siska were nowhere to be seen. He is now in a narrow alley where there are very few people, from here we only need four hours drive to get to the Slum District.

Candra just kept quiet waiting for them to come, five minutes passed and there was still no sign of their presence. Tired of waiting, usually Prince class will not wait for someone, if any it must be the opposite.

Maybe they'll be here soon.

Candra fills her mind with comforting words, man is a creature that comforts himself despite knowing that it is all for nothing. After fifteen minutes of waiting Candra started to feel upset. If he did not want to come, at least Siska had to tell him earlier, instead of making himself waste fifteen precious minutes.

He regrets that now he did not bring a communication tool, actually Candra often forget the small things that he had prepared for a long time. What people say later when the Prince of Nataprawira is actually a man who often forgets.

Already unable to wait any longer, Candra took the initiative to search for them right now. He started to exit the Gang taking a left direction first hoping to meet them soon.

First of all Candra is looking into the streets filled with crowds, although being disguised it is easy to distinguish them let alone Princess Siska with her beautiful facial features, she said, when the girl doesn't cover her whole face it's impossible for Candra to recognize her. Even the taste even though she ate the Candra skin mask was still able to recognize her.

As Candra did not see Anna and Siska anywhere, she began to search in several Shops. Starting from food stalls, fashion stores, and accessories, but still the results are nil. Now that almost two hours had passed, this no longer followed the prescribed schedule. Candra is very upset now, however, she is the kind of person who is crazy and considers that following a predetermined schedule is absolutely the same as a matter of life and death. He will be tormented inwardly if he violates the tradition that has been determined by him.

Now that this cake shop is left, yesterday he had not been able to visit Lara because his childhood friend was on a business trip, but it seems that even now he has not returned.

If they were not here, Candra would give up and choose to wait in the Gang earlier or go to the Palace as the last option.

Candra began to step foot in the largest Cake Shop in Nataprwaira, a place she had not visited for a long time. As soon as he arrived at the door, the female servant immediately let him in,. A distinctive aroma immediately approached his smell, a scent that made him feel nostalgic and remembered how his daily story was when he was a child.
