After Rain's

Episode 20: El Nath

“...we got information Princess Polaris will meet with Mr. Sirius tonight,” said a voice on the phone.

“Observe wherever he is. Don't let your guard down, whether inside the palace or outside the palace, make sure that today should be as planned. Understood!?”

“Good.”

Prince Regulus straightened his body and looked around the senior family or the royal core is being arranged by professional royal photographers to immortalize the Royal Wedding Prince and Crown Princess.

But his eyes were on Polaris, his niece who should not have acted so that she could continue in this kingdom. But unfortunately Prince Regulus also had to make a choice and get rid of whatever was in his way.

“Regulus, quickly take your position,” cried King Fomalhaut, his only brother. The only family he has other than his own.

Then the banquet to strengthen the nuclear family relationship with their new members also arrived, seen the two children of Prince Regulus and Princess Polaris so familiar. Perhaps it was because they had met so rarely and the senior men were also in conversation with King Fomalhaut, Prince Regulus and the father of Crown Princess Navier, Erich Barnett.

The opposite is true for women, too, Navier looked at the three princesses as somewhat hesitant for him to join but if he wanted to win the heart of the entire royal family he should be able to master the circumstances at least have to be good at small talk.

“I want to join my father but I think I need to see your ability,” Crown Prince El Nath said sarcastically.

“Abilities?” Navier asked surprised and confused.

El Nath turned his face towards Navier with a look of disdain, “I heard from my cousin, my sister is not so interested in you? Is that true?”

“That's. We just haven't known each other too far and haven't had much chatting,” Navier assures.

“Really? You have to be by my sister's side if you want to have the support of nobles and conglomerates,” he said with a smile.

“My sister is not easily conquered even with a good looks or intelligence, she is smart in choosing,” he added. El Nath tries to lure Navier into passing judgment on someone he doesn't know very well.

It was important for the palace family to have the ability to always be vigilant and careful for whoever it was and negotiate. Because the palace family not only governs the country but also business.

“Stop bullshit,” Navier jerks but keep a low tone.

El Nath smiled dismissively, “ini is a political marriage, remember my words.” El Nath looked intently at Navier, “.. don't expect me to make you happy like I didn't expect much from you. If you want to be happy and mentally peaceful living in the palace then, make friends with Polaris.”

“The one in control of the ladies of the palace is the Queen,” replied Navier began to emotion.

“Not if my sister is here, even if you are a Crown Princess don't dream if your job is just sitting and relaxing scattering my money, huh?” Navier did not expect this man to be so good at making the interlocutor go up in black with just a word.

Enough if Polaris doesn't like him anyway he also has to go back to where he went to college later but this man has to spend the rest of his life with Navier.

“What is your goal to become Crown Princess? Does your boyfriend not want to take you away? Do you feel like showing this position to someone?” this isn't a question more exactly sounds like a statement to Navier.

“What do you want?”

“ Ah yaa... One more thing, I will not forbid you from connecting with anyone and if it is smelled by the media or the palace you know who will be harmed?” while drinking his wine El Nath speech is really outrageous according to Navier.

Navier straightened his back and raised his chin level, “I don't want to talk about that here,” he said briefly.

“Good. I take that as your consent. For other things we discussed next time,” El Nath got up from his seat while drinking his wine again and walked towards King Fomalhaut who was talking with his brother and other men.

Navier squeezed his hand, how could he be humiliated like this? Sirius won't defend it and El Nath won't touch it. Forget the drama story about an ordinary man who is stuck in marriage on the basis of matchmaking can love each other even in fact El Nath already has a plan about how his descendants will be born.

Someone suddenly sat next to Navier who was none other than his older brother, Crist. Though he was just about to head to the crowd to blend in with the princesses.

Christ looked at her seriously, “Navier, is there something you're hiding?”

“No!” the answer was short and was about to rise up leaving Christ but his arm was restrained by Christ before he could get up.

“Sit!” exclaim Christ in a soft but pushy voice.

“Don't get hooked with El Nath,” Christ's eye-view tries to persuade Navier to stay seated as if what he's going to talk about is indeed very important.

Continue, “do not be caught off guard by anything El Nath says, Navier. He tried to upset you and stay away from her.”

“What exactly do you want to tell Christ?” Navier is demanding because Christ is so long-winded in his opinion.

“Listen, you've decided to enter the circle of the palace of your own accord. I don't know what your goal is or because Sirius didn't choose you but if you've decided something make sure you have to make a good ending for yourself.”

“You know El Nath rejected me? You guys knew from the start that he wasn't interested in me? He only wants the throne?”

Christ slightly lowered his tense gaze on Navier, “takhta? Are your thoughts so negative? Why would El Nath aspire to the throne if the whole world knew he was the King's sole heir? Navier, the palace is not a place for people who think short,” said Christ full of emphasis.

Christ's last words inflamed Navier, “if you want to make fun of me like El Nath you better get out of here.” Standing up leaves Christ but his arm is held back by Christ.

“Say listen!! Don't be rash and practice to control your emotions. If you keep this up, El Nath and Polaris will be easier to take you down. Remember, no one is supporting you at the palace.”

“Then what should I do?” his voice was almost desperate.

“Near El Nath, however, you should normally have a relationship like a couple.”

“El Nath rejected me not even one day after the wedding. At first I was fine and tried to be indifferent but your words seemed to make me really like I had chosen the wrong choice,” Navier tried to hold back his emotions, now he was confused how to.

He had the right to refuse this match if only he had not first had a relationship with Sirius who belonged to the same princely status.

But as a normal woman who was abandoned, she, he could not have tried to be in a relationship with a man who was lower than Sirius status as a reality for him if he was a helpless woman then it was a coincidence that his family since he was a child the staff proposed to her through her family.
