Elena; Queen of Ardorarias

Part 8; First Time Chat

This morning, the atmosphere in the surroundings where Elena lived was already crowded with citizens gathered. Residents around are busy watching a group of policemen who are called by Elena's father to drive out fanatical fanatic Rave Josha.

Elena only noticed the commotion from inside the house. The attraction activity was seen between the police and the fans, not to mention the residents who had been upset and helped the police there.

Seeing his daughter who looked sad to see the noise outside their house, Daniel immediately approached Elena. He held onto Elena's shoulder and tried to calm Elena who was feeling sadness. Daniel knew exactly what his daughter was thinking. Naturally, from the first day Elena was born into the world until she was 26 years old, Daniel was the one who took care of her adopted daughter.

"Elena, listen.. Sometimes leaders don't have to feel sorry for everything. Many things will go against you and you should be able to choose what is best for many."

Daniel clasped Elena's hand gently, "Remember, Elena. You must be strong and strong. Must. Don't be weak with things like this" Daniel's eyes turned toward the outside of their house, "You know, if the King knows what's happening to you right now, he's not reluctant to punish them all. And you know their laws that dare to lurk even terrorize the Royal family? Death sentence."

"Dad.." Elena's eyes immediately looked at the father, her head shaking slowly, "I beg you not to let the King know this. Actually it's all my fault too, if I hadn't been dating Rave, maybe this would never have happened. If the King finds out, not only civilians are affected, but also... The rave."

"Dad knows. That's why you can't do anything to them. I can only ask a police envoy to keep our neighborhood alive." Daniel sighed heavily, "Elena,"

Elena looked up at her father, "Yes, Dad?"

"Have you covered your relationship with the Rave of the King. The king must not know about this," Daniel looked back out the window, "If the King would surely be very angry when he found out you were dating Rave, who would bear all the burdens is Rave. Not you."

Seeing the arrival of the police who managed to evict the fans who had been unsettling for a week, Daniel immediately came out to the police who came. He took all his briefcases and left Elena home alone.

Seeing her father who had gone away, Elena went inside her room. He sat quietly on his bed. Without her noticing, falling tears flowed freely on her cheeks. His distant mind flies into the past when he first meets Rave Josha, his lover.

...***...

Autumn is taking place in October. Elena who was sitting in the first semester of the upper second grade returned to her classmates monthly. Elena was indeed a quiet girl and did not say much. Since childhood the King had asked and reminded Daniel to keep an eye on Elena, the King wanted Elena not to get too close to others. Therefore, until Elena sat in the upper second grade, she had no friends at all.

"Hey Elena, isn't today your schedule picket class? The trash in front of the class was piling up. You'd better get rid of it before the smell spreads into the classroom."

Not wanting to engage in a debate with her classmates, Elena immediately got up and threw the trash into the landfill. He was used to being treated like this, even sometimes he was told and bullied by his classmates for no reason.

After sorting out the trash that could be recycled with the ones that were not, Elena decided to sit under the Beech tree. The fallen leaves also covered the school garden, making it look very beautiful. Compared to spring, Elena preferred autumn because the atmosphere felt much warmer.

Taking a break from the noisy atmosphere of the classroom, Elena took a deep breath and then closed her eyes. Enjoy the warm autumn wind.

tak.

Feeling that there was something beside her, Elena opened her eyes and turned her head towards the right side of her. How surprised he was to find a young man sitting right next to his right.

"Hi, Elena."

The young man smiled very sweetly towards her. Elena who was confused and shocked to see him could only reply with a small nod. The young man sitting beside her then thrust a can of ion-enhancing drink at Elena.

"For you, you're tired aren't you?"

Not getting a response from Elena, the young man placed the can of the blue-colored drink on both of Elena's palms. The coldness snatching from the can of the drink made Elena's palms redden.

Elena was increasingly confused by her attitude, why also this young man beside her had to bother approaching and giving drinks to Elena. However Elena could not possibly say that, she immediately thanked the young man.

"Thank you."

"Raves. I'm Rave. You know my name, don't you? Rave Josha's. Since we were in elementary school we've known each other."

"Yes, I know your name. Thank you, Rave."

Rave smiled as he heard Elena say his name. While Elena just looked down at the minjman can that Rave gave her.

"open up. Aren't you thirsty after you throw and sort out the trash?"

Hearing Rave's words, Elena immediately opened the lid of her can of drinks. Due to the rush and the tilting state of the can when Elena opened it, the water inside the can sprayed towards the skirt she was wearing.

"Ah.." sigh Elena who immediately stood up so that the water from the canned drink does not make the wet skirt Elena.

"Geez, you're pretty sloppy, aren't you, Elena?"

Rave chuckled at Elena's behavior. He took out a handkerchief folded neatly from his pocket. He took a can of drink from Elena's hand and wiped Elena's hand using his handkerchief.

"You look strong from the outside, but I've misjudged you."

Elena snickered and pulled her hand from Rave's grip, "What do you mean?"

Rave realized that the words that came out of his mouth just now might hurt Elena's heart and make Elena misunderstand, he immediately waved to the right and left, apologizing for Elena's misunderstanding just now.

"That's not what I mean. I didn't mean—"

"Yes, no problem." Elena cut off Rave's words quickly making Rave feel even more guilty.

"Elena... Are you mad at me?"

Elena who had just sat back looked up at Rave who was standing in front of her. Elena shook her head slowly, "Why should I be mad at you? You did nothing wrong. Rather than being angry, I should be thanking you."

Hearing Elena's extremely gentle words, Rave sat down beside Elena back. Rave's eyes focused on Elena, "Elena let's be friends with me."

...***...

Elena shook her head quickly and wiped away the tears flowing down her cheeks. He got up from his long daydream just now and headed to the kitchen. He had wasted almost an hour just to daydream about the beginning of his life close to the Rave.

"Elene... Is it home?"
