Changing destiny ' White Rose '
CHAPTER 4
This morning I was summoned by King Damien to his study, I guessed the reason why I was getting ready to meet King Damien at the main palace .
The main palace is located at the very front in very tight guard because here the residence of the King and Queen, the, I walk with my servant Blance in the corridor of the main palace every time I pass the knights will salute .
I walked towards my father's study, when there the knight standing guard at the door said that His Majesty King Damien still attends daily meetings with the nobles .
" No problem, I'll wait for dad inside "I said as I entered alone .
Blance will wait outside because not just anyone can enter the King's shop .
Entering the office of a King, I began to circulate my gaze and look around the room . There was a large table in the middle of the room similar to the one in my study, behind the desk was a large window facing the imperial gate in the white curtain lid, and on the left right there is a high bookcase containing important documents, near the door on the right there is a sofa and a small table to receive guests, on the left is a door that leads to the King's resting roomÂ
' the typical rigid workspace is like an office job in my home place 'my inner self .
I turned to sit on the chair and looked at the pile of palace affairs documents scattered on the table, on a whim I saw one by one the hard ones that were in front of me .
After studying 2 years with Mr. Louise I have clearly understood the history of the Benedicte empire, understood the theory of the outline of social circles and nobility , ' he said , and about economics and politics I'm still learning the basics .
As I was busy looking at the papers, the door of the study opened and His Majesty King Damien appeared who was still wearing his official clothes . He stepped into the room smiling at me, put the document back down and came down from the chair and briefly hugged King Damien . I've been in this world for 2 years and I've considered them like my own parents .
" Did I make you wait a long time Clea "asked father while taking me to sit on the sofa .
" No dad, I just arrived and looked around my dad's study "said and continued "Oh yeah, what did you call me here "ask me pretending I don't know.
" You are 7 years old, and it should be at this age that you start learning, but because you have learned early so now only just look for a study companion for you" explained King Damien
" A companion learns what is it and for what ?? " just pretend you don't understand .
" Study escorts usually come from sons of nobles who have good achievements in the imperial academy and are used to accompany the Prince or Princess in his study period . So that when you learn there will be friends who can be invited to discussion and debate " explained King Damien, I just nodded to understand .
" Dad brought you a list of the top 3 students in the royal academy, you picked one that you thought was suitable" said King Damien as he moved and picked up some papers in the drawer .
The papers were placed in front of me, it contained the data of each person along with his portrait . According to the original story in the novel, the young master Albelart was recommended by the imperial teacher Mr. Louise, King Damien agreed because the young master Albelart took first place in the imperial academy .
But now I was told to choose for myself, in the first order of paper of course young master Albert Albelart (10 years ) I noticed his portrait 'fuck !!!! very handsome 'my inner swearing, in the second place there is a photo of a sweet man with blonde hair named Cyrilo Ignith (11 years ) comes from the middle class of nobles , and lastly a lady from the Cassiopeia family named lady Charlotte (11 years old ), I guess she might be one of my cousins .
Asked to choose what, is not the answer is clear who will be elected .
" Father, I chose young Master Albert of the noble house of Albelart "I replied
King Damien smiled meaningfully, and asked "why ?? "
" Father if I choose Lady Charlotte, then the nobles will protest, they will be suspicious if you want the Cassiopeia family to be top . And if you compare the Son of the house of Albelart with the Son of the family of Ignith, then from any point of view it would make more sense if the chosen Son of Albelart "i am clear
In the politics of the Benedicte Empire there were 10 major noble families who were entitled to engage in affairs in the empire consisting of the right 3 noble families led by the Cassiopeian Nobles who were loyal to the royal family while in the left 4 families led by the Nobles of Albelart who always want to be in the highest position . The remaining 3 noble families were only in neutral positions .
King Damien, nodding approvingly and smiling satisfied with my judgment .
" Wah.. My daughter really did not play around with her learning "the seductive King Damien.
" Of course dad" I said while being proud humph . King Damien laughed at my humph .
After it was decided that the Young Master of the chosen Albelart nobility, King Damien wrote an invitation to invite only Son of Albelart to be a study companion of His Highness Princess Clea Cassiopeia Beatrice .
The nobleman of Albelart accepted the invitation with pleasure and the young Master Albert Albelart would come the next day .
In the winter morning, I was getting ready to study as usual . Sitting in front of the mirror with Chacha and Blance helping to tidy up my hair, I saw my appearance that was no longer like a boy, the typical chubby face of my baby has disappeared in place with the face of a girl who became a teenager looks more beautiful as time goes on .
While daydreaming, Deenna came to me reporting that the young master of the Albelart family had arrived and was waiting in the living room downstairs . I also understand .
Finished dressing I also walked towards my palace living room with my servants . From the top of the stairs was a 10-year-old teenager sitting on the large living room sofa with a waiter waiting by his side .
I looked down and she looked up looking up at the view we met . What a handsome face, it deserves he became a prima donna man among nobles his age , the face was with thick, firm eyebrows with sparkling pale bluish-gray eyes and pliable lashes 'very pretty 'my inner, pointed nose with a high nose bridge , on the face of sexy lips with a thicker lower part as well as pointed chin and strong jaw, neatly combed jet black hair and thin bangs that slightly fell on his forehead .
'Damn, seeing the real one is even more handsome, well I decided he would be my first prey ' I thought excited
Finally I got in front of him, he immediately stood up to give his greetings while bowing
" Greetings to the glory of Her Royal Highness Princess Clea Cassiopeia Benedict" Albert said
" Wake up" I said "Are you young master Albert Albelart who will be my study companion ?? " just pretend to be plain
" Right Her Highness Princess Clea, I will accompany you to study later "she replied with a smile .
' Damn, that smile can make me nosebleed ' my curse in my heart
" Please "please help her, I replied with a sweet smile
Then I took her to my study, Mr. Louise was waiting inside , she also knew that young Master Albelart would be my study companion . Mr. Louise did not feel awkward because she had met the young Lord Albelart at the imperial academy, so learning became comfortable .
What a number one title as a royal academy is not just nonsense, I feel Clea's brain is very smart even feels ordinary when compared to this Albert . He really mastered, understood, and understood the history, social, political and economic of the empire better than I . And when I praised him smart, he just humbled himself not to take my words seriously .
We often also chatted and drank tea together outside of study hours, we became very familiar . I did not limit myself to wanting to be close to her, trying to charm her and lure her to my side .
.....
It doesn't feel like 3 years went by now summer when I was 10 and Albert was 13 years old, me and Albert were such close friends . We even often played in the palace together .
Today I enjoyed a picnic in my favorite rose garden with Albert, yes now I just call him Albert and he calls me Princess Clea, we are much more familiar now .
We sat on the mat under the shade of a large tree, I sat playing my violin melodiously while Albert stretched his body beside me while focusing on reading his book .
" Albert, if on my birthday I ask you to learn martial arts as a gift, what do you think "my question suddenly
Albert glanced at me a little "I'm sure His Majesty the King won't allow it" he said casually
" Then you helped me persuade dad, huh ??? " i said sweet
" No "he replied quickly "His Majesty the King will not listen to my words "he said
" Wasn't it because you kept showing off your riding and sword skills to me "I cried back to blame him .
Albert just gawked in disbelief at my absurd reasoning . Then try to persuade me not to get angry .
" Daughter Clea, if you just want to learn to ride I can teach Princess" she said
" Really ?? " many of me reassure .
Albert smiled, too . I was very happy to lunge into his arms until Albert lapsed back with me who overcame him . ' Ah.. I want to tease her a little ' thought I was naughty . Then I started rubbing my face against his neck while whispering softly into his ear
" Albert I like your smell "
Deghs
I felt his body sculpt, I turned my head and saw his ears blushing . I got up but still sitting on his stomach, I saw him tilting his face and covering with the back of his hand so I wouldn't see his face flushed . I saw him laughing happily .
Tomorrow, though,
" Daughter Clea, young Master Albert is waiting for the Princess in the garden" Alice said
" Albert ??? what did he do here, didn't there study together today ?? " question me while changing into a simple dress after the end of the class pullu .
" Young Master didn't say anything Princess " replied Alice again
" Well I'll meet him now "I said as I passed .
I walked towards the front garden of the palace, seen in the distance a teenage man standing his back to me I ran a little towards him, the teenager who heard the footsteps behind him turned and smiled at me . I ran faster and hit my body towards him, Albert slightly retreated but quickly stabilized and held my body from falling while I hugged him tightly .
" Why did you come ?? " many wonder
" I have a gift for you" Albert replied
" The prize ?? but I haven't had my "exciting birthday yet
" It doesn't matter that I just want to give it to you " replied Albert "let's go" he continued
Albert led me towards the imperial court, I was confused by his intent . After I noticed again, Albert's appearance is not as usual now he uses his special martial uniform . When we reached the arena, I was still confused when Albert invited me to the arena of the match .
" What is this Albert ??? " much confused
" Ssttttt" he said as he placed his index finger on my lips.
" i have a surprise for you, let's see there Princess "he continued while pointing towards the entrance of the arena .
From that direction there was a beautiful white horse with a tail and a blond mane . I widened my eyes in amazement, Albert who saw my reaction chuckled . The palace soldiers brought the horse towards us .
" For you .. "he said beside my ear.
" For me ?? " many of you don't believe .
" Of course, I've also asked His Majesty King Damien for permission to take you on a horse, and he's allowed it while it's still in the palace area" Albert explained, I didn't think he was really serious about helping me talk to Dad .
I screamed and hugged him, I wrapped my hands around Albert's neck and because he was taller I held him down to hold my waist so as not to fall . I smiled sweetly at her and said quietly "Thank you" then kissed her left cheek .
Albert was surprised his body froze, the soldiers who saw him were surprised but soon recovered and pretended not to see anything . I, too, who felt that there was nothing wrong with me, let go of my arms and walked to the side of the beautiful white horse while watching from side to side still notjud by how beautiful the horse was .
" Hey, Albert what's this horse's name ?? " question me without turning my head, feeling that no one is answering .
I turned to look at him dumbstruck by holding his cheek 'what's wrong with this kid?? wasn't it just a kiss on the cheek ' I thought ordinary .
" Albert "my yell is anxious .
" Yes ??? " the answer is still unconscious
" I asked the name of this white horse "ask me again
" Oh, he doesn't have a name I just bought it last night, you can give it a name as you like " replied Albert casually like he wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded
" Well 'cause you're a pretty white stallion, then decide your name is Blake" I said satisfied
Albert who heard me mention Blake, raised his eyebrows next to him and muttered "completely unrelated "
" Why ?? " i asked who didn't hear his murmur clearly
" It's nothing, let me teach you how to ride while going around the palace" said Albert, I heard his enthusiasm .
Then suddenly I realized something and then fell silent, Albert who saw him confused approached me and asked "what is it ??"
" I'm not pretty" I said with my head down, Albert getting confused so I explained again
" Today I don't dress up and wear a simple dress, it's the first time I've rode I should look pretty" said Albert, who heard my reason for laughing out loud
" Don't laugh "I'm getting sullen
" Daughter is beautiful whatever you use will not affect anything, because Princess herself is beautiful "she said seriously to me .
He leaned slightly so that his face was right in front of me, Albert looking at me seriously with his trademark smile . ' OMG I can't, I'm really weak with my inner good-looking face, my face flushes and I look embarrassed . Albert, who saw me ashamed, smiled briefly, then passed to Blake .
Albert tracked the pedal and jumped easily, then extended his hand towards me . I also walked towards him, the soldier who was waiting swiftly kneeled on one leg to help me ride .
" Hold my hand with my right hand, left hand held in the saddle, then raise the right foot on the soldier's thigh, left foot on the pedal and lift your body up" guide Albert one-on-one, I carried out Albert's instructions carefully and as I lifted my body on the horse, Albert grabbed my waist and helped sit properly on the horse .
I felt so excited, we both sat on top of Blake with me in front and Albert in the back, we went around the palace on horseback , I'm so happy it's my first time riding a horse in 2 of my life sometimes I tell Albert to ride faster . He also obeyed all my words .
I spent all summer and autumn learning to ride with Albert . Well even if it's just inside the palace, King Damien hasn't gotten me out of the palace yet, because a Princess will be allowed out of the palace when she finishes her debut .
