I Accept Your Insults | 6
"You're getting married?"
A sad tone sounded out from the mouth of the handsome and dashing man who was sitting beside Aalis.
His irises were gray in color so bright they were like a sprinkling of stars in the night sky. With a perfectly sculpted face line.
It was Drake. First son of the Minister of Justice. He is one of the war generals who always with Aalis.
Drake was the only man who looked at Aalis with a look of admiration and respect. He considered Aalis as his sister.
If Aalis had known. That the man who has always supported her is someone who loves her so sincerely. He was so saddened to hear that Aalis got a proposal from the Second Prince of his kingdom Groft.
The prince was not the Queen's son. But, when compared to him who was only a son of the Justice minister, he was certainly no match for him.
"No."
Aalis answered Drake's question casually. Making the man scare his eyebrows confused.
"You're rejecting his proposal?"
"No."
"Aalis, what do you mean? Don't confuse me with your words."
Aalis turned to face Drake. Give a soothing warm smile. Drake's face looks so wrong.
"You know me more than anyone, brother. What was? Why do you look so sad?"
"none. I was just worried about my little sister getting married."
He is so self-conscious. Aalis who was a princess of the King considered her brother to be lucky. So greedy if he asks for more.
Yes, Aalis considers Drake Big Brother more than the Crown Prince who is the real brother. However, always showing a contemptible look to her.
"Who said I'm getting married?!"
Still with laughter adorning his lips. Aalis answered Drake's words with a question.
"There will never be a marriage before my goal is achieved, Brother."
He continued his words again. Drake understood, what purpose Aalis meant.
Actually, if Aalis knows her feelings and accepts her love. Perhaps, Drake will take Aalis as far as possible, and unleash the grudges he was born with.
He knew, Aalis was unhappy with always holding a grudge in her heart. She is just like any other girl. Who wants the love of their parents.
However, the bitter destiny he was born with made him never able to get what he needed. Revenge, just impingement. So that his heart would not be hurt more deeply.
"All right, whatever it is. My message is one, take good care of yourself wherever you are."
"Good, Brother. Your message will always be remembered."
"You haven't practiced for a long time, do you want to practice today?"
"Yes, of course. My day was a little leisurely this time, and I also felt bored."
Finally, they went to practice the sword.
Side, other. The entourage of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of Groft Kingdom, had already entered the Menzel area.
Until the horse's voice stopped. The Crown Prince, who is none other than Jackson's Prince Jenner Groft. Stopped the steps of his entourage.
The second prince, Caesar Jenner Groft. To stop his horse's steps, he approached his brother.
He was a little upset, because his older brother was always hampering his journey for various reasons. Actually, he had already banned his sister from coming along.
Because, knowing it would definitely slow down their journey. Disappointed he asked his sister.
"What's up, Crown Prince?"
"Please a minute, Prince Caesar. After all, we're already at Menzel's border. In just a few hours we reach the capital. "
Again, the answer that made Caesar upset and wanted to beat the face of the person in front of him. Until when they will continue to rest.
"All right."
He left Jackson. Jackson stared at his younger brother's back which slowly drifted away, he deliberately wanted to upset Caesar.
You want to marry my queen? No, it's never gonna happen. Her lips slightly raised, displaying a smile that was difficult to decipher.
After resting for a few minutes. They finally went back on their journey. On that hot day, they kept riding to reach Menzel's palace.
When the Sun was about to set, the Groft Kingdom finally arrived at the capital of Menzel. The flag of the Groft Kingdom fluttered, telling all the Menzel people that the future son-in-law of the King had arrived.
In the palace, everyone was already standing in front of the main Gate to welcome the arrival of the Groft Kingdom entourage.
King Carlos stood with his gallant and beside his stood Queen Beatrix who was always graceful. The concubines and sons and daughters were already standing there.
Before long, the sound of the horse legs slowly approaching arrived in front of the palace. They welcomed the guest with a smiling face.
After that, Prince Jackson and Prince Caesar came down and approached King Carlos.
"The Crown Prince salutes His Majesty the King."
"I accept your greetings, Crown Prince. Stand up."
After that followed by Prince Caesar who also gave greetings.
"The Second Prince saluted, Your Majesty the King."
"I receive your greetings, Second Prince. Stand up."
Aalis who saw the two so close as to stand beside the Queen who was next to the King, was slightly stunned to see Crown Prince Jackson.
For some reason, suddenly a shadow appeared and showed his closeness with Crown Prince Jackson. Aalis shook her head.
No, how could it be. This was the first time he had met Crown Prince Jackson, how could he feel this familiar feeling.
Accidentally, their views met. Crown Prince Jackson, looking into the eyes of Aalis who was so calm as the ocean yet drowned.
So did Aalis. He looked into Jackson's green eyes like Axela's. No, Iris Crown Prince Jackson's eyes aren't quite the same as his friend's.
The green iris was so bright and calm, yet her gaze was misleading. He blinked, waking up. He shouldn't have looked at Crown Prince Jackson for too long.
However, there was something strange inside his chest that was churning all of a sudden. Not with Jackson. He felt calm when looking at the face, especially Aalis' blue eyes.
Crown Prince Jackson decided to immediately rest and was approved by Prince Caesar. Finally their welcome banquet will be held tomorrow, at the end of which everyone returns to their respective residence.
