Let Me serve you, Prince!
Prince | Chapter 38
Looking at the gazes from the people at the dining table, Prince Erland laughed and said, “Not in my room, but in Alice's own room. I let him take a day off so he can rest. Even though I suddenly want breakfast risotto.”
The King and Queen of Warlingtoon looked at each other. While the two Ruby parents who had been anxious since, could finally smile in relief.
“Come, we continue eating!” said the King who did not want to discuss a servant at his dining table.
The king himself had confirmed that Alice had left. There's no way the waiter showed up here with his risotto.
The nobles enjoyed their breakfast. The king did not know what the Prince of Eland was planning to do. The Prince's attitude that should cause suspicion, in fact, was not even realized by the King.
Meanwhile, Prince Erland kept a close eye on the King's movements and all his suspicious body language. He was only afraid that the King would finish Alice off on this trip later.
After breakfast, the King immediately opened a chat regarding their purpose for breakfast together this morning. “Prince Erland and Princess Ruby are engaged, now how about we talk about marriage! Two more days is an excellent day for the wedding ceremony. In royal belief, that day is the day on which love and immortality are revealed to the earth. So, I hope the Prince's wedding will be filled with love as well as immortality!”
Hearing the opening words conveyed by the King, the hands of Prince Erland hidden under the table were clenched tightly. Although he was angry, but his face still displayed a smile and seemed to accept whatever the King planned.
Ruby glanced at Prince Erland who was smiling faintly, but her little heart was not sure that her fiance was indeed accepting their marriage.
Actually, even if the Prince married her, Ruby would not mind if after ascending the throne of Pnageran Erland would make Alice as a concubine. However, Ruby knew very well that Prince Erland would not do that, because only Alice would be the Prince's only wife.
“Your Highness, anytime we will be willing. Although two days are short, but we will leave everything to His Majesty and this kingdom,” reply Ruby's father who actually did not patiently want to formalize relations with this kingdom.
“We must ask first on both brides-to-be. Do you mind this wedding date?” The Queen tried to be wise.
“What do I think is still being heard in this kingdom? Didn't the king decide, that means the decision has been made? Then, why ask about my opinion?”
The king looked at his brave son in a disrespectful manner. Even so, the King still hid his emotions that really had to be awake.
Prince Erland turned to Ruby and looked at his future wife in confusion. From the look in Ruby's eyes, Prince Erland knew that the girl was lying.
“Iya, right. Rules in our kingdom should be married in a holy state,” replied the Queen. She looked at her husband and asked, “Your Majesty, should we choose another day?”
The old men then went back to discussing with the royal elders as well to look for a good day beyond the date that the King had previously set. Until finally, they agreed to hold the wedding ten more days.

After the breakfast, the Prince will return to his room to prepare to go outside the palace undercover.
“Prince, wait!” call Ruby who deliberately prevented the departure of Prince Erland.
Alice's lover turned his head and looked at Ruby suspiciously. “Why?”
“Did Alice really leave this palace?” ruby asked who instantly turned into a good girl.
The prince did not want to answer and just glanced at the girl.
“Actually, my view of Alice has changed. He was right, I should be able to fly freely with my own wings. Being your wife, not necessarily I would be free to do anything, and not necessarily we are happy. I want our marriage annulled and I can pursue my dream, but please help me get away from all this!”
