The pace of the horse that Samuel was racing was very fast for this noble man to arrive at the Winter Palace in a timely manner according to his plan before he decided to meet his lover, his heart,claudia.
Claudia and Sonya had planned something to enjoy their winter time at the Winter Palace by going to the winter festival held every year in the village settlement that was not so far from the Winter Palace.
" Hey..Where are you guys going? " Task the King from the door of the room caught the two of them walking so slowly in the corridor together with Ray.
"Ka..We're.." Sonya said nervously.
" A..I'm.." Ray replied trembling.
" To the park.." Answer Clau smoothly.
" I want to come..If you don't let me come where you go ?..You're banned from coming out of my Winter Palace." Said King Philip looking straight at Claudia.
" Aish..Ahhe..Yeah, fine." Yeah." Clau replied with a forced tone.
So, the four of them also participated in the winter festival activities in the village with a very cheerful mood even Ray invited Sonya to dance together at the festival.
" Clau, you try to drink this fresh, warm drink." Said King Philip offering Clau a glass of wine or red wine.
" Uh ..I'm sorry, I don't really like wine." Clau refused to accept the offer from King Philip.
" Ei, wasn't it your time at your house..? I've seen you drinking wine with your parents at Duke Sean Fillan's birthday party." King Philip said he would offer Claudia wine.
"Yes, that was but now I'm not drinking that drink." Clau said with great effort to avoid the wine entering his mouth from King Philip who poured the wine forcefully into his mouth.
" Let's just take his place to drink red wine from you." Samuel said that he took the glass from King Philip's hand and drank it with one gulp.
" You..?! "King Philip was surprised to see his rival appear before him in an unusually arrogant manner
" Samuel..!" Clau was surprised to see the presence of the man he always loved in front of him by helping him drink the red wine King Philip offered for him.
" Sister..?!" Call Sonya who quickly met Samuel with Ray who looked back at Samuel with an apology because Ray had dared to invite the famous Duke's sister dance.
"Your Majesty, we happen to meet here..!I'd like to ask permission to speak four eyes at the Winter Palace with you." Said Samuel directly looking straight at King Philip who was shocked not playing.
King Philip wanted to grab Clau's fingers on his right side, but Samuel's hands had already pulled Claudia's fingers for the girl to stand behind Samuel's back.
" Never again for you to touch Clau's finger in the slightest." Samuel said in a very strong tone to King Philip.
" What do you mean, Duke White?" King Philip asked Samuel angrily.
"I'll answer you once we all arrive at your Winter Palace." Samuel answered with no regard for King Philip who was shocked to see the great pride of Samuel.
Samuel led Clau to ride on the back of his horse while he held his horse's neck strap for a leisurely walk on the snow piles along with Ray and Sonya followed by King Philip and his guards that's.
Once they arrived at the Winter Palace. This man invited King Philip to speak privately in the King's private room. King Philip waited for him with great emotion but was restrained by the King to take care of his wife and also his health.
"Well, I gave you the answer to your question about my attitude earlier.I want to tell you honestly and openly that I have never had the slightest desire to seize the position of Your King..Because I want Clau far more than all the power put forth by the foolish nobles about Me to be misinterpreted by You.Therefore I'd like to ask You to return Claudia to Me starting today and tonight as well without any reason you put forward to hold Clau by your side." Samuel said with his eyes defying King Philip's fiery eyes.
"Where could I possibly trust a proud person like you because you have a healthy body and a brilliant brain?" King Philip asked Samuel in a cold tone.
" Emm..I've prepared a file that you can see for yourself to prove every word that comes out of my mouth." Samuel's reply gave a file containing the handwriting of Duke Berlioz the Younger who wanted to conspiracy with a number of high nobles to bring down the power of King Philip by using the name Samuel as his scapegoat to King Philip.
" Eh, why did you give me this file? Shouldn't you just save it for you to be the King as my successor in accordance with their wishes to you in the Royal Capital of Lovenia ?" King Philip asked in a tone that could hardly believe what Samuel had told him that night in the Winter Palace.
"I've said I don't want the King's position with those who support it with false hearts.I want to compete sportively with you because I don't want to be the puppet King played by them, one more thing I've come to take back Claudia to my side." Samuel answered with a smile to King Philip.
" You can't take Claudia away from me, Duke White..! I can sentence you and your White family to death if you dare to take Claudia away from me..!" King Philip cried out so unwillingly that Samuel took Claudia from him.
" Oh, uh,You can't sentence me and my family to death for no reason that makes sense the real man you should have as a man who knows he's never been loved by the girl he loves, one more thing you will be stamped as a miserly King by seizing the lover of your own people by all your people in this land." Said Samuel who silenced King Philip with great intelligence and agility.
King Philip was silent in his private room while hugging some rabbits in his private room, He could only see Samuel walking out of his private room by grabbing Claudia who was standing behind the door of his private room by waiting for the two of them to finish talking outside.
