Changing destiny ' White Rose '

CHAPTER 17

The trees by the lake are very shady in spring, sparrows also chirp on the branches of the tree .

I sat under the tree enjoying the delicious sandwich the waiters had prepared, Albert sitting beside me arranging the flower tea set after he lay down to read the book he was carrying .

I saw the lake in front that was crystal clear clear .

" I want to fish "my murmur slowly unconsciously

" Did you say something ?? " asked Albert without turning his head seemed to hear my mutterings

I smiled sweetly and lied without hesitation "I said the lake is beautiful" I said with a sweet smile

" Ehm, spring has arrived" he nodded but still focused on his book

" Ah, I learned a new song yesterday . Too bad I forgot to bring the violin "I said scowling

" I'll listen to it tomorrow morning" Albert said casually

" Ehm, then wait for me tomorrow morning in the study room" I said commandingly

Albert nodded briefly, I re-seized a last sandwich in the lunchbox . I chewed on the sandwich slowly as my eyes caught something, I put the sandwich back in the box and stood up suddenly .

Albert stared in wonder at me who was standing then suddenly I ran to the right along the edge of the lake . Albert got up sitting surprised and ran after me as well .

" Daughter, where are you going ?? " he shouted towards me

I turned back and called out

" Albert, I saw a fruit tree there "I said while pointing across the lake in the distance .

" Even so you have to tell me first" he said as he pursued my position

" You startled me when you suddenly ran "continue Albert's protest again

" I'm sorry "I said while looking down pretending to be sweet

" Hah ... let's go together "he said give up so easily

Albert took my hand to walk around the lake to the other side . I danced a little towards the dense trees .

" Don't go too far" he warned

" Not far, I saw him around here" I said walking around looking around .

I circled my gaze in all directions, looking to the left and right looking for the fruit tree I saw earlier . I dragged Albert's hand so that he would quickly follow me and when a tree I was looking for entered my view, I cried out in excitement and ran towards the tree .

" Aaaaa .. I found it "cried me.

" Daughter, be careful with your steps "squeak Albert surprised and immediately chased

When it came to a peach tree that was not too big, it was slender at about 2.5 meters tall with fruit that was not too dense as it was still early summer now .

" Albert see, this is called a peach" I said as I turned to him

Albert stood beside me with a flat look at the pale reddish peach .

" What fruit is this ?? " he said flat

" It's a fruit from the middle eastern continent across the ocean, they call it a peach" I explained

Albert looked at me suspiciously, his gaze as if saying 'how did you know ? '

Uhuk,

I coughed nervously, then smiled shyly

" This is some book in the imperial library that mentions plants in the middle eastern continent, maybe they are a gift from the Kingdom of Hilaire" I said lying

' Damn it, this lady is almost suspected because the mouth of this bucket 'my mind swears

Albert nodded in understanding then turned his attention back to the peach tree .

" Ehm, what fruit can be eaten ?? " he asked without looking

" Of course, the reddish one means it is ripe and he says it tastes sweet "I said while looking at some reddish fruit

But I occasionally glanced at Albert's reaction, 'Did he really believe ?? ' thought

" You want that fruit ?? " ask Albert looking at me

I nodded hard with sparkling eyes, I really wanted that peach . ' How long has it been since I moved in this world haven't eaten peaches' asked my heart to myself

" I'll call some servants" Albert said, turning around to leave

" No need to "say a deterrent while grabbing Albert's hand

Albert turned towards me and looked at me calmly as if saying 'then ?? '

" We can both pick it up ourselves right, after all it's not high" I said with a sweet smile

" Daughter, we can't climb the tree" Albert warned

A noble never behaves disrespectfully much less for my status that of a princess, although we are still classified as teenagers but the behavior of climbing trees is also an act of disrespect and the sons of noble daughters are required to have their own honor .

" I know "I said while pouting

" But Albert can carry me "I said quietly and smiled sweetly at him

Albert frowned like he disagreed with my proposal because it was also disrespectful behavior between men and women . I who see it will refuse to take his hand immediately and plead with teary eyes .

" Come .." said I weld while shaking his arm

Huh ....

Albert sighed then walked towards the tree and suddenly knelt down with his back facing me .

" Come on the ride" he said slowly

I smiled and rushed towards her, I lifted my skirt up high and climbed on her shoulders, white and smooth thighs exposed and clinging to Albert's nape . Albert flushed in embarrassment but kept holding my thighs tightly with a nervous sweaty hand so I wouldn't fall .

" Hold to the tree" he said from below, his voice slightly depressed

" Em, I know . Albert moved slightly to the left of "I said commanding as I grabbed the tree branch for a handle

Albert shifted to the left slowly so I wouldn't fall .

" Well enough" I said as I grabbed 3 reddish peaches the size of a hand grip .

Then I ordered Albert to move left and right to pick up the other peaches . Albert obeyed all my orders and moved slowly .

When it was over a dozen peaches in my arms, I asked Albert to come down .

" Albert is enough" I said lowered my head

I clung tightly to the tree trunk and Albert knelt down slowly to keep me stable . I went down and hugged the peach next to my arm, turning to Albert to thank him .

But all I saw was her nervous face that glared bright red to her neck and ears . I was stunned at her .

" Albert, are you hot ?? " i said idly trying to tease her but who knows what kind of reply I got was so cruel

" No, this is because the heavy Princess "he said flatly

I was stunned to hear Albert reply, then my face reflexively flushed in embarrassment also wanted to be angry . I threw a peach in my arm towards Albert who was caught instantly with his reflexes .

Humph ...

With a grunt and throw at my face, I turned deeper into the forest .

Albert scratched the end of his nose awkwardly, he knew I was angry because of his original words . He immediately ran after me who had walked far away leaving him .

" Daughter, where are you going "he said when he was by my side

I threw my face again refusing to answer it .

" Not to explain !! I know, the point is I'm not fat to understand "I said with a frown

" I understand "said Albert with a gentle smile, then holding my hand trying to persuade me who was angry .

" Daughter, this is not the way back" she said worriedly seeing me progressively walking into the trees

" I know, but I saw some peach trees on that side earlier "I said enthusiastically forgetting my anger at Albert that never happened .

Albert just nodded, wanting to forbid but worried I would get angry again . Albert just followed my wish while holding my hand tightly .

The lake where our picnic had been was not seen covered by shady trees, we entered the trees that were increasingly crowded with many bushes on the side of the road .

Albert frowned in surprise and glanced at me a little towards me looking 'whether I was going the wrong way or not ', but seeing my confident expression and not anxious at all, Albert just pulled my body to get close to him .

" Consider your steps" he said as I turned to him

I just nodded in understanding, and closing our bodies let Albert walk me through the bushes .

Sometimes the edge of my lacey dress was stuck in the thorny bush I pulled it a little and made a small tear at the end of that lace . Albert looked down at her then looked at me grimly while looking down at the end of the dress that was torn a little but still with one arm hugging the peach earlier .

Albert thinks I'm upset because my dress is torn, but all I think about is 'a fucking dress, very expensive but even with a small twig can be torn '

" Is it still far away ?? " tanya asked me

" It seems like a little more "I said and walked forward again forgetting the damn dress

" Why not just ask the waiter who picked it up "asked Albert puzzled

" You don't know, in spring the peach tree will be filled with blooming flowers . Very beautiful, I want to make sure the location is now "I said excitedly

" How do you know if it's beautiful ?? " he said spontaneous

degh

' Fuck ... This crow's mouth can be silent 'my inner rto, I want it to feel like I'm slapping my mouth right now

I looked at Albert with a sweet smile,

" Of course from the middle east painting in the imperial library "I'm sure

" Then I want to see the painting as well, is it really very beautiful" said Albert either curious or being tested .

" Of course you can see it later in the imperial library" he said approvingly

' Shall I start looking for a foreign painter to paint a peach blossom spring scene later ' I thought I started working

We walked while talking unfeelably the forest trees and shrubs were gone replaced with small fine grass stretches and mature peach trees full of reddish fruit lined up in front of the eyes .

" yeah .... Albert look very beautiful .. "I'm happy.

Spontaneously I let go of Albert's hand immediately running towards the mature peach trees . I circled around one by one the trees and picked some ripe fruit on the low branches .

Albert who felt the emptiness in his hand was a little sad, but when he saw me who ran happily round the tree to the tree like a child . Albert just sighed and smiled helplessly at me .

Albert looked around at the unfamiliar fruit tree in front of him . But he has to admit that they look a little beautiful despite being unkempt

Albert noticed I was still busy looking for ripe peaches around the peach tree . Albert then gazed into the distance and saw a large green tree that was striking in the middle of the red peach tree .

Albert also walked towards the tree, he turned his head towards me who was still busy grabbing fruit on the low branches . Albert decided not to bother and walked alone towards the tree .

I plucked a stack of fresh peaches and hugged them tightly in both my arms . I turned towards the tree at the end and asked Albert to return to my palace, but what I was looking for was not there .

I looked around looking for Albert, ' maybe he was walking around ' I thought as I walked around looking for Albert around

" Albert " my yell

" Albert "yelled again as I walked

" Albert " my yell

" I am here Princess "the voice of Albert is heard in the distance

I turned towards the source of his voice and saw him staring at a large shady green tree with black wood as black as ink . I knew right away that it was an old cherry blossom tree that was hundreds of years old even from afar .

I walked in that direction as well, and I saw Albert's back staring at that tree .

I walked over to his side and exclaimed "I found you know "

But Albert still did not answer or look at me, he seemed drugged and looked down .

Peach trees are located on higher ground, so it is necessary to look down to see the cherry blossom trees that are in front .

The cherry blossom tree is very large and shady in age perhaps hundreds of years with a sturdy, thick jet black stem as thick as the arms of 4 adult men and branches sticking out to its sides .

But it wasn't the tree that kept Albert glued to his feet, but a small building on the back side of the tree . The building looks a mixed style between europe and southeast asia . The walls of the building are made of brick but the doors and window grilles are typical of southeast Asia .

I was astonished to see it so as to involuntarily release the peaches in my arms . The fresh, reddish, plump peaches fell rolling around my feet but I didn't care about them anymore .

My eyes glared and my lips slightly opened looking at the building, I couldn't possibly have mistaken the carved wooden window with oil paper cover and the intricately carved sliding door it must be a culture belonging to southeast Asia .

Albert looked at me who was surprised even forgetting the peach fruits that were very enthusiastic I picked earlier to be astonished .

" Daughter know what that building is ?? " ask Albert breaking my daydream

' Well ... what building is it ?? being in the corner of the palace and unknown to anyone but still well-preserved ' my mind started working

Albert, who saw me awaken from the shock, heard his question and began to think seriously, not disturbing my concentration but waiting quietly on the side .

' Located hidden, simple, but beautiful ' I thought seriously

degh,

Suddenly a thought crept in my mind, and I subconsciously screamed in restraint . Albert who saw me slightly squealed suddenly then looked at me deeply .

" You remember, Princess ?? " ask slowly beside me

I shuddered in horror at her, my hands trembling a little at the sound of Albert beside me when we usually chatted very closely but I never reacted like this .

I don't know maybe this is the subconscious reaction of this body when it is presented with the building in front and Albert standing next to me . My body became trembling in fear, my face paled .

Albert who saw me looking down silently seemed like something was wrong, he then turned to look at me and saw my body tremble and my face was pale . Albert became very panicked and worried for him .

" Daughter, what's up ?? " she said softly as she grabbed my hand

But my reaction was so unexpected, I brusquely rejected Albert's hand trying to grab my arm . I screamed in surprise a few steps back and fell backward while widening my eyes in fear staring at him, Albert was surprised not to play at my reaction .

" Pu .. princess ... What's the matter ?? this is me Albert "he said stammered in surprise

Albert was also confused, worried, and sad to see my expression that seemed to fear him . After Albert spoke, I began to realize my strange and exaggerated actions earlier .

I was confused and this body responded to fear by itself so that my eyes glazed over, my voice choked, tears would drop at any time .

" Albert .. I'm afraid "my light softly with a hoarse voice

I don't know what I'm thinking right now, I just know this body responds unnaturally when it's in this place . Albert who was confused at my refusal became very worried seeing me who was about to cry, he rushed towards me and calmed me down .

" Don't be afraid, I'm here Princess" she said as she hugged me

I still didn't feel better and cried sobbing sadly in Albert's arms, and Albert who felt I was crying sadly in his arms became worried and confused about what to do .

" I want to go home .. "my whine in between sobs

" Well, alright don't cry anymore okay .. let's go back now" said Albert gently as he hugged me

Albert didn't ask any more questions, and raised me bridal style carrying me in his arms . Albert turned around and walked quickly down the peach trees, taking me who was still frightened and sobbing sadly in his arms .

I wrapped my arms tightly around Albert's neck and closed my eyes and buried my face in the recess of his neck . This body was still trembling in fear and crying miserably, perhaps this was the original reaction of this body when it saw the scene that tormented it until the end of its life at that time .

I was held in Albert's arms and walked quickly to leave the peach trees behind, no one cared about the fresh peaches anymore .
