YUWARAJA
Warm and Peaceful

"That's enough." Adelia pushed Candra away from her embrace gently. His red face hid the shame he had. Though reluctant, Candra begins to let go of her embrace.

"alright. What are you gonna do now? " Candra was worried that Adelia was returning to Askara now, most likely the traitors were waiting for her midway. With their numbers, Adelia would definitely be caught and Candra would never let that happen.

"I'll wait a few more days."

"so. Come with me, you can stay at my place. It'll be a lot safer there than staying here."

In fact, the slums are more dangerous than other districts. Because a lax law won't seem strange if you meet a dead man lying on the side of the road.

"What?" Adelia was shocked when Candra forcefully clasped her wrist.

"Just relax, that place isn't a palace." Candra is not the fool who will take Adelia into the lion's den.

With a small nod, Adelia finally accepted Candra's offer, "Alright, but wait until my servant arrives."

At least in the next few days I will have a safe place to recover my strength.

The two of them sat back on the shabby mattress, without a single person talking leaving only a puff of breath each of them could be heard. Either they were both nervous or what, but surely their breath and near their heart were so messy as to be spurred on by a strong adrenaline rush.

The temperature here still seemed to be too cold for hot-blooded people. Evidently with Adelia who wrapped her body in a thick blanket. Looking closely, it seemed like it was the blanket he had brought from Askara. She was still beautiful as usual, eager for Candra to come over and hold her in a hug, but such moments were long gone.

"Happy-goodbye!" Adelia spoke so quietly as to whisper to herself. Fortunately there were only the two of them in this place so Candra could hear it quite clearly.

"What's wrong?" Candra pretended not to understand and asked stupidly.

"Congratulations on your engagement! Sorry I can't attend later, hehe .... " Adelia laughed awkwardly, perhaps to hide her sadness.

"Yes ... Who will come to the betrothal of the Prince of the enemy State." Candra felt she now would not be able to laugh as much together as she used to.

"And congratulations on your engagement. I'm sorry I didn't come." Candra wanted to say come save you, but she swallowed back her words. Unlike Candra, Adelia's engagement was already held a few days ago.

Adelia opened her eyes wide as if shocked when she heard it. His pale face now looked disappointed hiding his sadness.

"Te-thank you" she said briefly.

It's a lie that Candra says she wasn't disappointed when she heard Adelia's engagement, but Candra knew it must have been her father's insistence that there was nothing they could do. This is the fate of a child of the king.

Adelia bowed lethargic, perhaps she held back tears that could come out at any time. Candra realized this so that Candra continued to pay attention to it, where did the carefree Princess who always smiled like an innocent child go?

"Are you okay?" Candra asked as best she could. He wants to entertain Adelia here, but Candra wants to set boundaries between them from now on.

They were enemies, Candra might have to accept this fact now. It seems like this kind of situation is also what Adelia wants.

Yes ... Water and oil will never come together.

Candra fell down, her eyes unfocused her mind flying out of nowhere. Adelia saw this and when she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door several times with a female voice following her.

"Daughter, I'm back!"

"Oh ... Nina, comein!" Reply Adelia while staring at the door, but after a while passed Nina did not go to open the door.

"What's wrong? Quickly enter!" Adelia again told Nina to come in, now in the resolute tone of a Princess.

"I was with two men who were looking for that man, Princess!"

Adelia turned towards Candra who was beside her. Candra continued to watch Adelia with a longing look.

"How's it?" Adelia asked.

"Nina come in now!" Adelia Timpal remembers Nina's loyalty, which will not follow anyone's orders but her.

"Excuse me!" The three people entered while carrying some food with him.

The two people Nina brought were none other than Anna and the man who helped them in the mess earlier. He is the eldest son in the Bun Family, Andi Bun.

The Bun Family is a noble family that operates in the shadows, its job is to execute corruptors and traitors who can endanger the Kingdom. Originally this family was under direct King orders, but for some reason, it was now Uncle Candralah who was in control of this Family.

"Prince, you're fine. Thank goodness!" Anna immediately approached Candra and checked her body condition.

Nina was a bit surprised when she heard the word Prince.if remembered it is true that she did not know the identity of this young man. The young man who looked quite close to his daughter, even the two of them were too close to be called an acquaintance.

"I'm fine, di ma-?"

"The princess is at the residence of Lord Andi, Prince!" Anna cut off Candra's words.

Actually, Anna's behavior can be said to be disrespectful, but Candra is used to it even he feels a little happy.

"Well let's go there now."

"Before that, it might be better to let our guests eat first."

Anna immediately brought the food onto the table she had cleaned, it was fortunate that the table here was still strong to hold the food on it. Aided by Nina, the food quickly arranged neatly there were fresh fruits and some bread there.

"Sorry, there's only this for now." Anna and Andi Bon apologise to Candra.

"It's okay" It's not that Candra doesn't understand the situation. They must have hurriedly ran here when they met Nina who was looking for food in the City. Yes ... The slums aren't fancy enough to be able to give you a decent meal.

"Oh, yes. Introduce this is my personal servant she is Anna." Candra introduces Anna to Adelia and Nina.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Anna who will always serve the Prince." Anna leaned over and smiled at the two of them.

Adelia and Nina returned her smiles. Judging from her appearance, Adelia knew that Anna was a deft and reliable servant. Her aura was so mature and dignified her smile was also gentle like that of a Mother.

"And this is Andi Bun from the Bun Family who holds half the power in this District."

"It's nice to meet you!" Andi Bun saluted dashingly like a knight.

After the introduction from Candra's side was over, now she had to introduce Adelia to them. Candra is a little confused as to whether or not she should be honest about Adelia's identity.

As Candra was about to speak, Adelia had already paid their respects first. He lifted the tip of his clothes slightly as he bowed he said, "I am Adelia, the first Princess of the Askara Kingdom, and this is my Servant Nina."

Everyone did not expect Adelia to reveal her true identity so easily. Anna is shocked to learn of Adelia's identity. Indeed, her appearance is not like ordinary people, among Nobles it will be difficult to find a beauty like her. But still, he did not expect that Adelia was the Princess of the enemy Kingdom. Anna looked at Candra and when their eyes met, Anna nodded with a smile.

Nini was made petrified to hear her daughter now who has revealed secrets to those who are clearly an enemy. Now he must prepare for battle. On the other hand, Andi Bun looks calm as if he has known it as well as Candra who still looks indifferent.

"So yes. Sorry for the roughness, Princess. Sorry we couldn't welcome you properly." Anna bowed politely.

In contrast to Adelia's expectations, Anna instead behaved more courteously to her. He thought that the two of them would immediately take up arms after learning of this. But who would have thought the two of them even look fine as if to say that whoever his identity is not important.

"It's okay. I get it." Adelia began to think when her father mentioned that anyone related to the Nataprawira Royal Family was a bad person it was not true.

"Let's continue eating, then get out of this place." Candra immediately stopped the conversation which would lead to an awkward situation.

They immediately continued the eating event that had been delayed due to complicated things that were happening. For the first time in several hundred years, this mortal enemy was able to eat in one room with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
