Elf Princesses

Episodes 20. The arrival of Zac

Just hearing that made Marques Ahen exasperated. He bit his lower lip because he felt humiliated. "Look at you later, Your Majesty won't hold on to you for a long time," he slyly muttered.

Rubby's Room..

"Your Majesty, did you know that that was so cool!" jeina was amazed. He sees a different side of the usual Rubby.

"You're like His Majesty," Jeina smiled in satisfaction. For a long time he had wanted to get those words out to the Marques Ahen.

"That's all thanks to the information you gave me, Jeina." Rubby smiled and gently rubbed Jeina's head.

A while ago..

"Your Majesty, you should be careful of the man who was in the middle of the two nobles earlier. He's very cunning, he will do everything he can to get the perfect result" Jeina explained. "Not a few people know that he did dirty ways for his sake. But unfortunately no one can have proof of that,"

"Is there any other information you know?" Rubby scrunched his forehead. He felt he had to completely clean up the man this time as well.

Jeina nodded slowly. "He is a man who likes to play women, even at his ripe age, he does not have a wife because of his nature," explained Jeina.

"All right." Rubby nodded in understanding. "Keep following my steps. I'm going to see him now."

"What?" Jeina rounded her eyes.

"But Your Majesty, he must be talking to Your Majesty right now, and-"

"He was a crafty person, and it was impossible for him to talk about that now." Rubby smiled faintly, she confirmed her dress and went to wait near the meeting room in the palace.

When Marques Ahen was satisfied, a servant came and gave Rubby a cup of warm tea.

"Your Majesty, please drink the tea." the waiter smiled and bowed respectfully before he left.

"Jeina, aren't you tired of accompanying me all day? If you need a break, say it." Rubby smiled. But Jeina quickly nodded. "No, not at all. To me, accompanying Your Majesty is a joy in itself," Jeina replied in denial.

"Alright, whatever you want," Rubby gave a small nod. He sipped his tea while looking at the view through the window. Rubby fell silent, he put his tea cup on the table because he remembered something.

I have to say this before it's too late.

"Jeina, I think there's something I should ask. Don't you mind?" rubby asked seriously, she stared into Jeina's eyes.

"Hum, sure..does anyone have to make me object?" Jeina smiled, for her Rubby was one of her close friends, so Jeina always believed Rubby's words.

"Jeina, what before I came to the palace was something big going on?" rubby asked with a frown.

Jeina fell silent and tried to think. "In addition to the great war between the 10 kingdoms that attacked the Goncalves Empire, there seems to be no other major incident" Jeina said honestly.

Rubby fell silent, as if he remembered something forgotten. The woman scratched her own temple. Is there something I don't know? Rubby was deep, his mind unfocused.

..."You should be proud to be the savior of this world. That way, the world of Elves would not be haunted by guilt for his guilt."...

akh's.. Rubby held his head, his head throbbing for a while.

"Yes-Your Majesty?" Jeina frowned. Why did Rubby's expression change? he thought.

"You came a few days after it was over, and yes, your Majesty did win at that time" Jeina smiled. "If Your Majesty loses, perhaps the Empire is now destroyed. But thanks to His Majesty, he was able to save all his people" he continued.

"Be.. that's it, huh?" Rubby fell silent again, he took off his hand which had grabbed Jeina's hand. I... Why don't I know anything?

It feels like Rubby's head will hurt if he tries to remember. But for now he could only be silent.

Don't think no, Rubby. You are but a wasted weak daughter, Rubby's inner self, exhaling her breath.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

The knock on the door made Rubby and Jeina speechless, both of them turned towards the door and looked at each other. "Let me open, Your Majesty" Jeina said, stepping quickly out of Rubby's room.

"Your Majesty?" Jeina was silent for a moment, she then bowed respectfully before Zac who had just arrived.

"Is there a Rubby inside?" ask Zac with a flat face as usual.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jeina nodded small. Even though he had been in the residence for a long time, but his fear always appeared so faced with Zac.

"Rubby.." Zac approached Rubby, turning to Jeina for a moment to signal the waiter to leave Rubby's room right now.

Of course Jeina could not dwell on the orders of His Majesty, he finally obeyed and left Rubby's room although there were still many things he wanted to talk to the lady and her empress.

"Greetings, Sire." Rubby bowed respectfully, lucky that he had not changed his clothes to sleep because he was not yet sleepy.

"I told you not to be too formal with me, Rubby." cried Zac. "However I am your husband now" Zac sighed harshly.

"I'm sorry, Sire. But I think talking like this will be more comfortable." Ruby frowned for a moment before she gave the answer. Somehow he still felt strange because Zac had his legal husband status.

"really? I preferred your speaking style at our first meeting." Zac smiled faintly. He raised his voice again, "Rubby, I'm here because I'm worried about your condition" Zac paused for a moment and stared into Rubby's eyes. But the girl did not budge in the slightest, she was still silent in her seat.

"Rubby.."

Rubby looked into Zac's eyes. "I'm fine, Sire." the woman smiled, Zac's worries seemed to be too much on Rubby who had entered adulthood.

"Don't worry about me, Sire. Worrying about yourself, you must have worked hard for this marriage. I really feel moved and do not know what to thank," Rubby said with sincerity.

Zac paused for a moment, trying to think of something.

Sire, I could never read his mind.

Even this time Rubby was at a loss as to what Zac was thinking. He could only be silent waiting for the man to speak first.

"If you really want to thank me, then please fulfill one of my requests." Zac said confidently, he raised the corner of his lips slightly.

A request? Rubby scrunched his forehead. But when it dawned the woman quickly sighed and smiled thinly.

"Whatever you want, my Majesty, I will support it while I can"
