"hiks .. sister"
"why .. Why do you sleep so long? I'm afraid huaaaa😭"
A 4-year-old boy was crying a hiccup in front of the stiff body of a boy, the 11-year-old boy died after suffering from illness in the hands of adult beggars in his area.
Alas City was a large and magnificent city in the Heibe empire, a city that was a center of commerce always crowded by the traffic of people from various walks of life, the magnificent city located to the north of the capital was the most prosperous city, but in every of its small alleys there were many miserable lives, and one of them was the little girl crying at the moment.
"is this his son?"
"it seems right, hey little lady come with us!"
A face full of fear emanated from the look of the little girl's eyes, the shadow of his brother being beaten by adult men and the shadow of him when he was made a tool to play like a ball that was thrown to and fro made him tremble to fear.
"brrr .. brrr" her thin little body trembled violently next to her brother's corpse.
Usually when this kind of incident happens her brother who put up a body to protect her, but now her brother just silent even though he just opened his eyes.
"heii that's not the way to talk to little children🤦, sweet lady come with me😊"
"ja-jangan pu .. kul" her tone trembled.
"ehh . ti-no I will not hit the lady, I was ordered directly by His Majesty to pick up the lady" he said kindly.
"Crs .. ginda? wh-who's Sire?"
"ahaha Sire, Your Majesty is the owner of this empire, he is the king who presides over the Heibe empire and he ordered us to pick up the princess"
"master princess?" confused face.
"right, little lady is our princess, you are His Majesty's daughter"
"bo-lie, I don't have a father" he said in disbelief.
The bodyguards on duty were only confused because none of them had ever dealt with a child, the only ones in their grasp were sword and sword, even to just meet a girl of the heart alone does not have time.
"mr princess come with us"
"no-no! ja-don't hurt me, my sister is already sick don't hurt again huaaa😭😭😭"
"ahh ga-gawat" they complained.
"can I check on your sister?"
"don't! don't hit the big brother" he immediately hugged the stiff body in front of him.
"no master daughter servant will not hit him, I will check his wound😊"
"really🥺?"
"it's really the princess, so let me check it out huh?"
"i-iya" he said taking off his embrace.
The hard-earned knight coaxed the little girl straight over and examined her, her body was already stiff enough and her lips were already completely white, he opened the clothes that covered his body and looked a lot as long as bruises there.
The knight looked at his subordinates and shook his head, although from the beginning he knew the boy was dead, but he hesitated to say it, moreover, the face of was was was and restless little girl next to him made him unable to tell the truth.
"since when has this brother been silent like this princess?"
"since last night, my sister's still hugging me but when I woke up my sister was silent until now, was she very sick?" tanyanya.
"no, this brother is no longer sick, he's gone to heaven"
"heaven? isn't brother sleeping?" the boy approached.
"my daughter has a hard time explaining it but this brother is gone, he went up there, which is just his body"
"up there? how-to? what's far?"
"yes heaven is far away"
"is there brother not sick? brother get food? you're not cold, are you?"
"i-iya princess"
"why didn't my sister ask me? does your sister hate me? brother angry well at me🥺?
"no no, this brother does not hate the princess but because the princess is still small and the place is far away the princess cannot come" he explained.
"oh so .. So now I'm alone? you know, if big brother bothers me .. brr .. brrr" his body shakes again.
"the princess is not alone and will not bother the princess, so come with us😊"
"ti-no want😟"
"ahhh shh .. emm the princess wants candy?"
"candy? what'sthat?"
"this candy is food, it tastes sweet and a little sour, it will melt in the mouth"
"🤤 is that delicious sir?"
"that-lord? call me the Bell"
"ah is that good, Mr. Bel?"
"not Mr. Bel, but enough Bel"
"but my sister said I should call the adults by the name of master and mistress, otherwise I will be hit" he said with a plain face.
"hit? a-do the princess often at😠?" exclaim Bel annoyed.
"godh😧.."
"sorry princess, now try this candy🍬"
"what can?"
"yes just try it, surely the princess likes🙂"
"take .. so good sir 😲"
"princess don't call me master call me Bel, Belnandra Alpeoluss"
"hng?? name nik😱"
"try calling me!"
"Bel" he said slowly.
"try calling me again"
"Be-bel?"
"iya mr. putri😄"
"thank you for the candy😊"
The little girl who had been trembling with fear gave her best smile after seeing Bel smiling sweetly at her, The man was the second person to give her such a sincere smile other than the older brother who had been protecting her all this time.
"the princess believes in me right?"
"iya Bel person good😄"
"then the princess wants to come with me to meet the Emperor?"
"is there candy?" ask her with a plain face.
"candy? hahah in there is only candy, but there is a lot of good food, the princess will faint if eating everything" said Bel melted the atmosphere.
"really? but.."
"the princess can eat as much as there, so the princess comes with me huh"
"yes I want to" he said a little doubtfully.
"let's come with me" Bel reached out.
"ta-but brother how?"
"my subordinates will bury him in the royal family's funeral, the princess doesn't need to worry, so let me carry"
"yes-yes"
Belnandra lifted him up with both hands "even my sword is much heavier than her weight" her inner self felt pity.
"his horse is very big Bel😲" he said amazed.
"ohyah? his Majesty's horse is much more stout and dashing"
"really? can I hold it?"
"just hold it slowly"
His little hands stretched out trying to hold the dashing black horse in front of him, as if knowing that the little girl in front of him was amazed, the horse just arrogantly puffed out his chest as if he was the one who was stout.
"then let's ride with me"
"yes"
Before riding the Bel took off his robe and wrapped the girl's body, because later when the horse ran the wind will feel tight.
One week earlier
"how is it possible? who is Zizia anyway?" exclaim Veano in disbelief.
"but he swore to you"
"do you think this is the first time?"
"yes not really, but somehow I'm sure about this one" Alvino said.
"4 year old boy? where was I 5 years ago?"
"srak"
"srak" Alvin opens the entire Ano agenda.
"hngg? 5 Years ago we were at war?" alvin was confused.
"warring? with who?" ask Ano to be confused.
"the kingdom of Groi, king of Alrus"
"Groi? King Alrus? you don't play me Vin, do you want me to cut your tongue?" ano threatened.
"it's real, look"
"hey? but I don't remember anything"
"me too, the kingdom of Groi king of Alrus🤔"
"wasn't it during these 7 years that you recorded my entire agenda?"
"of course, that's my job"
"then how can this record be here in a 'route?"
"i-that's I don't know😓 either"
"are you tired of living a life?"
"i'll find out, I swear I'll investigate" said Alvin lagsung running.
"hng Zizia? King Alrus? why don't I remember at all?" said frustration.
That day Ano had just read a mysterious letter that came to him, it was written on shabby paper and had no stamp of any nobility, at first he kept ignoring it, but strangely the letter continued to be in the top pile of his paper duties.
When he opened it Ano was quite surprised because the correspondence contained a request to pick up his daughter, Ano who had been drowning with work and war certainly did not believe him, he said, but at the end of the surar said that he was Alzo, Ano was a little curious and had Alvin investigate, especially on his personal agenda there were events that could not be remembered by anyone including himself.
"Baginda Knight Belnandra asks permission to face"
"in"
"The knight Belnandra faced after completing the task" he said kneeling.
"where is the boy?"
Out a shabbily dressed little boy from under his robe, his clear eyes staring in awe at the splendor in front of him, the scrawny body-worn clothes only bones and skin remained.
"the princess salutes her Majesty" whispered Bel.
"ah salam His Majesty the emperor, I came to face" he said stuttering.
"🤨 what's your name?"
"na-name? I don't have the name .. brrr brrr" his body doesn't stop shaking.
The creepy aura and feeling depressed when he saw his figure made his small body again tremble in fear, let alone the sharp eyes that directly hit his heart.
"take the kid to the back pavilion"
"Baginda!"
"what?"
"he was the put sir.."
"i won't admit it until there's clear evidence😒"
"but.."
"tomorrow call the best witch of the Association"
"you're gonna do a blood test?"
"hm"
"well, I'll call you as soon as possible"
"would I stay here Bel?"
"master princess is only temporarily here"
Next day
"sir princess"
"don't want to, I-I don't want to" the little girl in the corner of the room refused.
"Baginda's waiting, you have to take a shower"
"no! no way" he said again.
"hiss we're dead"
"what should we do️"
"🤷🏻♂️"
The boy who was called the princess just sat in the corner of the room from the first moment he came, this morning he had to do a blood test with the Emperor to prove himself but the boy did not budge from his place.
"sir princess later Her Majesty️"
"don't want to . I don't want to hit"
"that's.."
"stop!"
"Ba-baginda? Greetings to the imperial light" they said lowered their heads.
"why isn't he ready?"
"i-it's the princess refusing to take a bath" replied one of them in fear.
"what do you think I'm paying you for?"
"we are guilty sire😖"
"hey come out or I slash your neck" he threatened in a serious tone.
"br . brr" the boy came out with a trembling body, his head down and his hands holding hands as if he was very agitated.
"why don't you take a shower? and what's that dirty rag?" he said when he saw the clothes of the boy who was still dirty.
"...🥺"
"why crying?"
"hiks .. ti-no" he said, wiping away tears.
"hurry up and take a shower and don't make me wait!" he said go straight away.
"hiks hiks"
"so I told you your Majesty will be angry, now the princess is taking a bath?" persuade the waiter again.
"i-I'm gonna shower sen myself"
"but.."
"i'm ashamed, I'm a girl"
"ahhhh so the reason the princess refused to take a bath is because we're men?"
".." he nodded quickly.
"ha haa .. hahaa gosh then I will prepare the bath water and the princess's clothes" the waiter's strange laughter earlier.
