Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Barmy

"An, aren't you coming with the princess to the western region?" tanya Solid teases. He rubbed the sweat on his forehead. They just finished training.

"Are you stupid?" Antonio glared sharply at his elder brother, "It was the journey of the girls. Where could I come?"

"Huh.pleasure. They got their vacation earlier than the others, "Solid instead showed his little jealousy. He drank the water from the bag he was carrying and asked, "An, are you not on such a trip? As an inspection as possible. Just chill. I will be faithful to accompany you as always."

"Ck! Your intentions are too obvious" said Antonio ketus, "I better take Charles when I get the schedule later."

"Hi, when I'm the better one," Solid prided himself. Charles who just happened to come straight to his head. "Who said you were better?"

"That's the truth" Solid exclaimed after complaining. He stood up to reply. Charles dodged and drew the sword.

"The fact is, your academic grades have never been better than mine," Charles began to compare their merits. Solid also drew the sword. They are ready to fight.

"Sadly, you have never won from me in swordplay, either" Solid showed the steadfast attitude of a knight ready to fight. "In the inspection, the safety of His Highness the Prince is paramount. What kind of nerd kid like you, heh?"

"Are you senile? How many times do you think I've beaten you?" Charles began to lash out, "I remember that moment you knelt while you were sniffling."

"That's because my condition is less than excellent," Solid reasoned. He repelled Charles' attack with ease. The fact that he was the best swordsman of his generation is indisputable.

"Well, you said the same thing back then, too," this time Charles fended off Solid's counterattack. He also attacked again. His sword swung onto the shoulders of the shameless protective knight.

The trailer...! The trailer...!

The sound of metal clashing sounded earthy. I don't know when they were in the middle of the field. Dust steaming. They provoke each other.

Antonio who was watching them from the corner of the field sighed. This always happened when the two young men met. They are like water and oil that do not want to unite, but also like two sides of a coin that can not be separated. They are great when working together.

"His Highness the Prince," called a young errand boy from behind. Antonio. The messenger relayed the queen's call to him.

"I'll be there soon" said Antonio. He observed the duel of his two comrades a little more then immediately moved from his place. He muttered, "Well, they'll stop by themselves when they're tired."

As usual, the queen invited Antonio to Bougainvillaea Park. He heard Alice was waiting there. Could it be that the girl was about to leave?

On the way, Antonio sees Charlotte walking with a girl. He intends to greet her. His hand was almost waving, but he suddenly pulled and clenched it. He was worried that the girl would avoid him again.

"When can I make up with him?" murmured Antonio while staring at his clenched hand. "I hope it'll be soon."

Antonio walked back. He headed to Baugenvillaea Park while continuing to reflect on his mistakes with Charlotte. It clucked. It's free. Niente. The result does not exist. He really didn't understand the girl.

"Finally you arrive" Queen Clara said happily. Alice who was beside him gave a calm expression. He enjoyed the tea in his hand.

Awkwardness. Again, Antonio was speechless in front of Alice. There was discomfort in him. He doesn't know. Queen Clara who saw the actions of her son stared dislikefully. It was like he realized something.

"Maybe you've heard it," in the end, it was Alice who started the conversation. He looked straight at Antonio. The ruby-eyed young man was amazed by it.

"I just want to say goodbye. Tomorrow I will head west with the scholarly girls" Alice explained. He closed his eyes and sipped his tea again. His calm face made Antonio even more stunned, but he began to be able to connect the conversation now, "Yes, I've heard it. To the south? Are you going to visit grandma?"

"Hm," Alice gave a small nod as she opened her eyes, "Are you interested in coming too?"

"Uhuk!?" Antonio choked on his tea hearing the question. This is the second time he has been asked that. This time even Alice directly asked as if making an offer. Queen Clara looked at her son, curious about the boy's answer.

"I don't think so," Antonio spontaneously replied, "There's something I have to do."

"Is that so? Then, I won't force it" Alice put the cup down. Queen Clara exhaled in disappointment. He will also come if his only son joins Alice's journey. Looks like it'll be fun.

"Well, there's a lot of work also from the academy" Antonio added. He has already refused and does not intend to join. This time Queen Clara looked at the crown prince suspiciously. The child is always looking for reasons not to do the task. Now he instead uses that excuse to reject Alice's invitation.

"I like you to work hard," Alice showed a smile she rarely showed outside the Pearl Palace. It was his smile on Antonio. "You can be a great and trustworthy leader in the future."

Antonio fell silent. For a moment he could think of nothing. He rarely received such praise and sincere prayers.

As the crown prince, many people tried to approach him. They praised and praised him. There is a special taste indeed. However, the feeling suddenly became empty shortly afterwards.

Different from what the girl gave me. The warmth immediately enveloped Antonio's heart upon seeing his smile. The girl rarely gave him compliments. More often to rebuke. However, his smile did not hide any motive other than honesty.

As Antonio sank into his thoughts, Queen Clara and Alice talked to each other about the trip. Queen Clara even asked for a hand when Alice came home later. With pleasure, Alice accepted his request.

Without feeling, time passes. It's time for Alice to come home. Until the end, Antonio was unable to join the chat. He only saw the flexibility of Alice when talking with her mother. It was completely different when the girl spoke to him. It made Antonio realize that there was a thick wall between Alice and him.

"I'll go home first, Auntie. Salvation to you," Alice said goodbye. Anna, who was waiting for him on the other side of the park, came. Since then, he has been chatting with the queen ladies.

"Mother, I'm going first, too" Antonio got up from his chair. He left the park alone. When he was about to return to the match practice field, he met Charlotte again. This time, their eyes met each other.

Again, Charlotte immediately turned her face away and left. Antonio who did nothing breathed. His curiosity is growing. He was still clueless about the mysterious girl.

"He often went in and out of the palace. I was even friends with him," Antonio muttered back to his destination, "But, he was getting further away as if he no longer wanted to see me."

"Run even faster!" a voice of shouting broke Antonio's daydream, "What is this the best young generation of the Kingdom of el Vierum, heh?"

Antonio knew the owner of the voice. He saw a burly man standing on the sidelines, while Solid and Charles were running around the messy match practice site. Just by looking at it, Antonio understood. Those two elder brothers must have already made a fuss.
