King Romeus then called some castle guards to accompany Princess Remina’s visit around the kingdom. He even asked one of the town criers to make an announcement to the people of Nousant before the carriage left the castle.“Hear ye, hear ye!“ the town crier called as he swung the bell, creating chimes that attracts people’s attention. “Princess Remina has been cured, and she wishes to see all of the Nousant people!”The news spread quickly like wildfire. Soon, people were lining up at the curbside and prepared to greet their crown princess even though the carriage was still quite far. Along the way, Remina peeked her head out and noticed how her kingdom had changed. A few unfamiliar buildings could be seen towering above any other places in the kingdom. She questioned to herself, “what are those?”As the carriage passed in the road where the people gathered, they cheered out loud and waved their hands to Remina. The princess who sat inside the vehicle wave
The carriage had arrived safely at the Nousant castle. With the help of her maids, Remina jumped from the vehicle followed by Helene. The saintess then politely bowed down to the princess and said, “Princess Remina, I excuse myself to go back to the sorcery school.”Remina nodded and smiled tenderly. “Thank you for escorting me, Helene. Be careful. Do you need some guards to come with you along the way?”“It’s very kind of you, Princess,” Helene said, then shook her head. “But you don’t have to do that. I’ll be just fine”The saintess then walked herself back to the place where she should be. Now Remina was alone since Helene left, and the solitude brought her to the thought of Alex. After seeing what that young man did to help the kingdom prosper, the princess couldn't stop thinking about giving him some appreciation and respect.“Princess?” a call from one of the royal guards woke Remina from her reverie. “Are you all right? It seems like you’re thinking about something.”Remina qui
It seemed like Remina was immersed deeply in watching the training session at the military camp. A royal guard leaned toward her and whispered, “I apologize, Princess, but it’s almost time for you to get back to the castle.”Hearing those words, Remina was a bit reluctant to leave the scene, but she had a feeling that King Romeus had been asking for her to get back. She sighed a bit then responded quietly, “give me a few minutes.”The guard then nodded while still standing beside her to be on the alert when the princess asked him to. Remina kept her promise, and not long after that, she stood up which made everyone on the military field stop the training. Noticing this, Alex came to her and asked, “are you going now, Princess Remina?”Seeing Alex there, Remina politely responded, “I’m afraid so, the king might look for me if I leave the castle for too long.”“Let me accompany you until the front gate,” Alex offered and made the princess flutter a
That same evening, Hector rushed toward the royal advisor’s residence. Beads of sweat began to form around his forehead despite the chilly breezing wind. Upon arriving at the front door, the man knocked at it several times as he looked around, seeming paranoid and frantic. He waited for Horat to answer the knock as he muttered something incoherent under his breath.“Ugh, who could that be?” Horat groaned as he rose up from his seating to look at the person who knocked at the door. As he peeked from the window, Horat could see it was Hector who had come by, panic-stricken. As soon as he unlocked the door, his friend rushed inside and shut the door close before dragging Horat’s hand in panic.“What’s wrong with you?” he asked, half-whispering.Hector didn’t answer his friend’s question quickly since he was trembling heavily. He then sat on the couch staring at Horat with a worried look. “We should leave this place soon, Horat.”The royal advisor’s son nearly raised his voice after heari
Remina was sitting by herself at the desk, just finished the invitation for dinner. She waited for the ink to seep into the paper and dry entirely, then put it inside a grandiose envelope. She had decided to invite the hero for a dinner tonight, although it seemed a bit rushed. The thought of seeing Alex made her blush a little, she already felt tens of butterflies fluttering inside her stomach.The princess then handed the envelope to one of her trusty maids before saying, "please deliver this to Alex, I invite him for a dinner in this castle tonight."The maid then set out to Alex’s residence to send the invitation, accompanied by two guards. Arrived at the door, she knocked twice and waited for a moment. A rustling key sound was heard from the inside, followed by the creaking door that revealed the hero behind it.“Sir Alex, you have a dinner invitation tonight from Princess Remina.” the maid extended her arms to give the envelope to Alex. “You’re speci
By the time the sun had already set, Remina's maids were rushing into the kitchen, preparing the dinner banquet. The dinner won't take place in the main room since Remina wanted to have an intimate moment with Alex, so they used the smaller dining room in the castle that hadn't been used for quite some time."Have you dusted the chairs?" The princess asked one of the maids."Yes, Princess," she responded politely.Remina seemed satisfied, but somehow a glimpse of worry emerged from her eyes. She tapped the maid's shoulder and said, "go on, I think the cobwebs on the corners of this room need to go as well."The maid nodded before continuing to dust off the other area of the room. Other maids could be seen setting up the candelabras and lighting the candles, creating a romantic atmosphere. One of the maids spread a white tablecloth over the rounded table that was sat just by the tinted window. After that, a flower arrangement made from red roses and a baby's breath was put on the cente
Back at the house where Alex and his hero party resided, his friends were relaxing and enjoying each other’s company after a long day of training. Germio and Rasheed did arm wrestle while Salieri became the referee.“Tres, dos, uno! Germio, you lose!” Salieri shouted and grabbed Rasheed’s arm, then announced it loud and proud, “and the winner is Rasheed!”“Dang it! I have to pay for his food for the next week,” Germio mumbled as Rashed laughed in joy.The bard then noticed that Stella was sitting by herself, unlike Pandora that made conversation with Vincent. Salieri then called and teased her, “ey, Stella? Why are you quiet? Do you miss Alex?”Hearing Alex’s name, the elf girl could feel her cheeks getting warmer, but she was too stubborn to admit it. She glared at Salieri and replied coldly, “cut it off, Salieri.”Germio’s bitterness after losing the arm wrestle faded when he noticed that Salieri was poking fun at the elf. He jumped int
At the castle, Remina and Alex almost finished the delicious dinner. The princess patted her mouth with a napkin after finishing her meal. She gazed at the hero who was still enjoying the meal and smiled.“Thank you for coming, Alex,” Remina politely said.“I should be the one who says that, Princess.” Alex bowed her head after devouring the last chunk of the meal, then continued to say, “it’s an honor to spend a night with you, but I’m afraid I have to leave now. My friends would find me if I came late.”Remina pouted and looked sad. She refused to believe that her time with Alex should end now. The princess shook her head after thinking of a way to stall the time. “Why don't you stay for a while and accompany me to stroll for a while in the garden nearby? My royal physician says that it's not good to rest directly after eating since the food needs to be digested.”Hearing what Remina just said, Alex's laughter bursted. The way this lady talked about her physical appearance never cha
