Elf Princesses

Episode 7's. Palaces

"In front of you will stay here, Miss. Hope this room is comfortable enough to live in." Diana smiled as she opened the window curtain of her room. "If you look out the window, there is a very beautiful garden. Many noble princesses who come here and visit the park, Miss will also definitely like it." Diana smiled gently and walked over to Rubby.

"I heard, your name is Rubby, huh? Your name is beautiful, like ruby's gemstone, very charming." Diana gently stroked Rubby's head. "If there's a word or an attitude of His Majesty that makes you uncomfortable, tell me, yes?" diana smiled back.

"Ah, Sire? She's a good person" Rubby smiled as Diana said.

Why did Doctor Lily and Aunt Diana say that? His nature is not so bad.

"Ring this bell if you need anything. There's something I need to take care of, you get some rest, yeah!" said Diana. He turned around and left Rubby's room.

"Why does it feel weird, huh?" Rubby muttered softly. He was holding his chest which suddenly hurt. "Have humans always treated strangers like that? In fact, in the world of elves, even if I was the King's biological son, my father, but I was never treated like a royal princess" Rubby smiled bitterly, I don't know what made him so survive all this time.

"How's the condition?" Zac stared intently at Doctor Lion, the Empire's personal physician.

"He had only a mild fever, it seemed like he had not fully recovered, let alone that he was a victim when the war occurred at that time" explained Doctor Lion.

"All right, I get it." Zac nodded in understanding. He held out his hand and was about to check Rubby's body temperature. But he quickly regained his senses and sighed violently. "I wish you'd come to your senses sooner" he muttered.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving now?" Diana looked at Zac who had turned around and was about to leave Rubby's room. Hearing Diana's words, Zac then gave a small nod. "I have to take care of some important matters, so please help her, Baroness" Zac told Diana, and the old woman could only nod and say yes to Zac.

"Miss, come to your senses" said Diana softly. That's because he was the first to learn about Rubby's condition, which was suddenly in pain with his eyes closed. After being examined, it was true that Rubby's body was hot, and the doctor also confirmed that Rubby had a fever.

"For me, His Majesty's wife is my daughter as well. I've been taking care of Your Majesty for many years, so you're my daughter, the wife of my foster children." Diana rubbed Rubby's head gently. "Rest if you feel tired or sick" Diana said.

"Looky Miss Rubby, why didn't you call me? If you call me, maybe you won't be lying weakly on a bed like this." Unknowingly, a tearful tear ran down the base of Diana's eyes. For him, both Zac and his future wife, Rubby, are a valuable part of him. Diana may not know Rubby very well, even she just met with Rubby today. However, at least Rubby is much better than his son who could afford to throw the mother.

"Ah, I unconsciously cried in front of Miss." Diana rubbed her cheek, trying to smile while holding Rubby's hand. "Relax Miss, I'll take care of the lady until she wakes up."

"Uhm.." sayup Rubby began to be able to open both eyes even though it still feels heavy. "Am I still in the palace?" rubby's murmuring is confused.

"Well, miss is up, is she?" Diana smiled and clasped Rubby's hand tightly. "Miss, get up! Aunty has prepared a very good meal especially for miss!" diana was excited.

Her voice was familiar, but my head was still dizzy enough to open my eyes.

"Miss, do you still feel dizzy?" Diana waved her hand in front of Rubby's face. "I'm sorry I was so presumptuous, but is Miss really any better?" diana was worried. Rubby nodded slowly and tried to open his eyes.

"Did auntie stay up all night here to take care of me?" Rubby smiled warmly as soon as she saw Diana by his side.

"Did the lady realize it?" Diana laughed a little. "Finally, my new lady stayed a while already having a fever, so I couldn't bear to leave the lady alone" Diana said as she prepared a soup that she cooked wholeheartedly.

"Auntie cooked it herself?" rubby asked as she looked at Diana who was next to her. "Of course, when I woke up, miss was still asleep, so I decided to cook this soup for miss. I thought this soup would be so good because His Majesty and my son are so-"

The deg!

"They like it so much?" Rubby smiled gently and took a spoon to eat it. "I think I'm going to like it a lot too" he continued.

"Thank you, Miss." Diana smiled and opened the closed window curtain. "Miss, after dinner later how about we go to the park? Moreover, the weather is very supportive to sit there," said Diana smiling.

"Alright, I'll prepare well" Rubby said as he sipped his warm tea.

"It turns out the waiters also often come to the park, huh?" rubby was amazed. The reason is, the waiter here can freely go around without punishment.

It feels so fresh, here, I can hear the sound of nature..

Rubby is an Elf, and his identity can never change. Even though his family thinks he was born a curse, Rubby is like any other Elf. It has the ability to communicate and adapt to the environment and plants.

"What flower is this? It's a very pretty flower!" Rubby smiled and looked at the flower that was located near the fountain, he bent his knees to kiss the Flower. The flower seemed to sing and make a tone of tranquility near Rubby, and Rubby could feel it.

"Did you like her?" diana asked smiling. "The flower is a gift from the magic tower to the empire, inside the flower is magic content, very interesting, right?" diana explained. "Yes, I love it." replied Rubby smiling.

"If Miss asks Him, Your Majesty will definitely give it to Miss right away" Diana sighed.

"No."

"What?"

"I mean, I don't need it. After all, the flowers and plants here would be more comfortable if living in a free environment like this garden, right? I'd rather observe it in a wide place like this." Rubby smiled softly, "How can Your Majesty make a place this beautiful?" rubby was amazed.

"It wasn't Her Majesty who made it," Diana smiled faintly and reached out to help Rubby stand up.

"You mean?" Rubby frowned confusedly.

"The Queen who made this garden. She is the mother of the present Emperor. From the beginning he married his father, he loved plants. Therefore, he asked His father and the emperor before His Majesty to make this garden for the results of his drawings" said Diana explained.

"After being heard, they must have been very romantic, right?" Rubby smiled faintly as he looked at the plants that were there.

"Yes, they were betrothed by her parents for political reasons. Far from that, in fact they have been friends even have a taste of each other," said Diana.

"It's like a fairy tale, but it's real." Rubby marveled.

"Miss can also get that love from His Majesty."

"W-what?"

Suddenly, Diana smiled and said that, not accidentally, but Diana wanted to say honestly that Rubby would be the wife of His Majesty.
