Changing destiny ' White Rose '
CHAPTER 43
" Daughter, will there really be a war ?? "
I looked back where the voice of the question came from, in front of the open door stood Blance and Deenna . More precisely Blance who was exposed by Deenna, his usually blushing face was now pale .
' Is Blance sick ?? ' my inner
The silent me made Blance even more agitated, he walked forward towards me anxiously . Deenna tried to prevent him from being reckless but ignored .
" Daughter, don't you say if it's not a secret then you will answer it "he said hastily
I woke up from my mind and saw Blance who was usually calm and indifferent, now looks agitated and scared make me confused by what happened ??...
" Daughter, what about my question ' is there really going to be a war ?? ' " he asked nervously
Deenna who saw Blance getting more careless and disrespectful became unable to bear it anymore, she immediately rushed forward to the front to pull Blance away .
" Daughter, please forgive Blance . He was just sick, so he spoke incoherently" Deenna explained to me
But Blance refused it and brushed Deenna off, I was more confused because of both of them . Alice and Chacha who were watching behind now looked very worried at Blance .
So I raised my hand to stop Deenna who was still trying to prevent Blance from talking so much .
" It's okay Deenna" I said
Deenna finally gave up and removed her hand from Blance's arm, but her expression was still as anxious as before .
" Hah ... already do not rowdy " said I tired
" Daughter ... sorry .. "granddaughter Blance while looking down felt guilty too
I waved my hand as a sign to forget that earlier, I looked up to see that the pale-faced Blance did not dare to look at me but it was clear that he was really curious about the war .
" Your question just now, I can answer it "I said slowly
Blance was surprised, he raised his head to look at me in disbelief . Likewise with Deenna, Alice and Chacha, they also looked at me with complicated expressions . But as soon as Blance hesitated, he was worried that I was leaking a secret that should not be said because he made a noise earlier .
" But, Princess .." he said hesitantly
" Don't worry, about this border war is not something that can't be said . After all, the nobles have known for a long time, only for an official announcement for ordinary people to be held soon . You only know earlier "I said casually as I sipped a little flower tea on my cup
Blance let out a sigh of relief, as it did not put me in a difficult position . Deenna, Alice, and Chacha also loosened their expressions . After all the calm returned, the four personal servants refocused their attention on me, waiting silently for every piece of information I was about to say .
" So, ' is there going to be a war on the border ?? ' . Yes, there will be war .. "said seriously
Everyone in the room was breathing cold air, their eyes wide open shocked by the information I confirmed . Especially Blance whose expression was getting scared, her eyes were red as if she was going to cry right now .
" Hah ... don't put on such a sad expression, nor will the Benedictine Empire go to war "I can't stand their expressions
" WHAT ??!!!! " cry them in unison
I stepped up and slightly rubbed my sore ears as I said
" Uhm, it is not us who are at war but the Kingdom of Versailles and the Kingdom of Theodore" I said as I nodded
" The Kingdom of Benedict will be neutral and impartial or support any one of them . So take it easy, Your Majesty the King has prepared everything if the war really happens, as it is now "
The four people who were still standing in front of me gawked in disbelief at what they heard, after a while Blance's cry broke the silence .
" hiks .. hiks .. hiks ... thank goodness ... no war "cries Blance lowered his head while covering his face with the palm of his hand.
Deenna who was standing next to Blance rushed to comfort him, I was surprised to see Blance's sudden crying response .
" What is this ?? why is Blance crying ?? actually what happened to Blance "was confused
" In fact Princess, Blance is from the border . And when he heard that there was going to be a war on the border, Blance was very worried about his family being there "clearly Deenna was still patting Blance on the shoulder to calm him down
I was quite surprised by this news, I must admit also all this time I never wanted to know the life of my servants . Well ... right, I just assumed they were some sort of part of the novel I was reading, or the NPC of the game I was playing . I never really considered them the people in my life, honestly I still could not fully accept my fate that goes into this damn novel .
I cleared my throat a little, and pretending to sympathize with Blance's circumstances like any other, he himself was still trying to control the cry of the legion .
" Why not tell me ?? honestly Blance, you don't have to worry . The border is very safe now, His Majesty the King has ordered to tighten the guard . Trust me. Even flies can't go in "I said, ending in a joking manner
Blance looked up at me with wet eyes and a reddened face, then he nodded with absolute confidence in my words . The corner of my heart feels a little guilty on them ...
" Servant believe, Princess thank you "she said solemnly
Her sincere words pierced my deepest heart, beautiful face adorned with a sweet smile attached felt a little cracked . The corner of my lips twitched a little, but I lowered my head while drinking the flower tea in the cup to relieve the sudden sourness .
My four personal servants rejoiced at the news they had just heard, Blance smiled back cheerfully .
" Well, then let's continue with each other's duties . The day is almost noon, the Princess is waiting for us to serve her " said Deenna ending the joy of the three people
" Good "say them simultaneously
Then Deenna went to prepare the dress that I was going to use to study with Mr. Louis and Albert, while Chacha and Alice went to prepare warm water and flowers and fragrances for my bath . Blance was left here to accompany me and serve tea .
I saw the atmosphere in the morning through the open window, the morning sky began to light gradually, fog and dew began to be seen, sparrows fly from their nests to go in search of food . Cold air cooled my head, making it clear from the trail of confusion earlier .
Blance stood to the side while observing the atmosphere outside like myself, we fell silent at the thought of each of us until Deenna called me to clean up .
.
.
.
At 8am, I walked down the road to my study . As long as I walked incessantly I saw the palace soldiers busy passing by .
I sighed while grumbling "It sucks . indeed in any age war always makes heads dizzy just from looking at it "
I knead my temple slowly while accelerating my pace to the building where I studied . Arriving in front of my study room door, I put on my sweet smile and opened the door slowly .
" You've come "I cried to someone who stood straight against the window
" Yes, Princess " answered
I closed the door and walked towards Albert who was still standing by the side of the window .
" What do you see there ??!! you look so serious .., "you joke around
Albert and I looked out the window together to see what Albert had been looking at since then, the main road leading from the gate and the main palace, was visible, there are many magnificent horse-drawn carriages going in and out of the main palace . There were even some who were neatly lined up on the edge .
" Wah ... so many !!! " call me lightly
" Just this time I saw this crowded palace "more relaxed
" Hemb, it's been a long time since I've seen this many palaces, probably the last time you were born" Albert said casually
" Wah ... You even remember the day I was born when you were 3 years old" I said doubtfully
Albert looked at me closely, then smiled his trademark smirk and said confidently .
" Of course, I'm very, very smart Princess" she said arrogantly
I pursed my lips pouting seeing her smile like that to me . ' Shit ...!! very handsome !! ' My curse in my heart
I advanced closer towards him, my left hand grabbed his shoulder and tiptoed closer my lips to Albert's ear .
" You're right, that's why I chose you, right ?? " whispers in his ear
Albert's smile cracked slightly, but he kept trying to maintain his confident expression . I turned to look into her dark gray eyes with a tinge of purplish light then I smiled and cupped her face with both my hands .
" It's so handsome .. I like it too "I said cheerfully
Albert kept smiling at me, he did not respond or reject all my words . But his gaze was very striking, I was very curious as to what was on his mind at the moment .
I was tired of Albert not responding to my profession, he behaved as if an understanding adult man towards his attention-seeking little lover . I turned back to look at the horse-drawn carriages that were still busy going in and out of the palace gates .
" Why Mr. Louise is still not here either. "I said lazily as I leaned against the large window frame
Albert was still silent, he kept staring at the outside leisurely but I knew his gaze was now very focused on the soldiers on patrol and the noble families who came to the palace .
" Hey .... Albert, what do you think of that war ?? " many want to know
Because Albert's current attitude is still the same as usual, as if there was no war at all at the border . He looks relaxed, calm, and cold .
" What how ?? this is not the first time they have fought a war" Albert said flatly
" What is a little strange is the decision of His Majesty the King who is neutral" he continued
" What is it ?? Do you disagree ?? " many
" No, I totally agree with that choice . Merely, I feel this is not the usual attitude of His Majesty the King " replied Albert casually
I giggled to hear his answer and then I teased him by speaking "Wah .. You understand very well Your Majesty the King, I salute "
I pointed my two thumbs at Albert, then he glanced at me who was teasing him . Albert smiled softly and poked the tip of my nose fat, I giggled in response .
We looked back out the window, after a while I spoke again .
" But you're right, it's not the decision of His Majesty the King himself" I said suddenly
" Huh ??! " albert cried out inexplicably because I suddenly spoke without warning
" I was the one who advised dad to be neutral "I said directly
Albert was very surprised when he understood what I meant, I clearly saw the surprised expression that was emanating in Albert's complicated eyes . He was lost in his chaotic and dreamy mind .
I smiled when I managed to mess with his mind, and then I added a nuclear bomb that killed him .
" I know that if you insist on interfering in this war, it will benefit the third party who is waiting confidently" I said with an innocent look
Albert froze undisturbed, I know his family also took advantage of the war in the original novel . Alberlart's family, which governed the economy of the Benedicte Empire, corrupted funds for the soldiers at the border to gain no small profit .
But that was all the decision of Gilbert Alberlart, while Albert he did not like the solution of the war but he also still had no power to oppose the decision of his father who was the Head of the Family .
This time hearing my statement that suggested the decision directly, he fell silent . Albert was thinking that I had intervened in the affairs of the Empire, and he wanted me to side with him . If Albert can control me completely .
......................
The night ...
King Damien, Queen Carissa and I were having dinner together . The atmosphere was very quiet, only the clinking of the fork and knife collided into the plate sounding sonorous filling in silence .
I glanced at the tired looking King Damien, his black eye bags looking very bad to see . While Queen Carissa still smiled gracefully and calm but clearly visible murat of worry and anxiety faint in the look of her eyes .
" Daddy when will the announcement for the people be made ?? " my question suddenly broke the silence
King Damien did not expect his daughter to directly discuss the thing that made him dizzy from this morning, it was a pity that discussed it his dearest daughter if it was someone else then he would immediately curse loudly .
So King Damien could only smile and respond with half a heart .
" Morning at 10:00" he said patiently
" Have you come ?? " just ask again
Queen Carissa paused for a moment from her dinner activities, then looked at her daughter and said softly .
" Of course, dear, this is an official event for the Kingdom . So the Queen must be present as well "he explained patiently
" I want to come ...!!! " I cried innocently
King Damien and Queen Carissa were surprised by my request, Queen Carissa refused subtly and gave various reasons .
" Can't Clea, you haven't debuted . Clea can't just perform in front of the public, so well okay .., wait at the palace" said Queen Carissa patiently
