As Rubia was busy practicing the sword with the knights at the training ground, Duke Harington arrived along with his Son and made an announcement saying that from today on he would take retired early due to severe injuries to his arm while at war, and on the orders of his Son Emperor Sir Axel Harington who would succeed him as head of the knight army. The choice of Sir Axel is not without reason, since his father went to the battlefield Axel was the one who succeeded him in leading the knights who guarded the security of the King and Queen in the palace.After that Duke Harinton and Axel left after finishing their affairs with the knight troops, Rubia just saw them from a distance.
Fiona approached Rubia "His Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor asked you to meet him" she whispered in Rubia's ear.
Rubia nodded and walked out of the sword training ground, until Rubia came to the door of the Emperor's study, Rubia immediately entered and Fiona waited outside the room.
When Rubia opened the door there was the King, Queen, Duke Harington and Axel Harington who simultaneously looked at him, on the table were seen several plates of biscuit snacks and each cup of tea in front of him, rubia's feelings aren't good.
Rubia greeted the King and the Queen "You call me Your Majesty" Rubia said with a stiff countenance typical of knights.
"Yes, come and sit down" said the Emperor casually.
"I've talked about this to the Duke and his Son about your engagement" Rubia was not surprised that she could assess the situation once she entered this room. "What do you think Rubia?"
An awkward and strange situation, why would the Emperor ask Rubia for an opinion if he had made a decision? But it was the first time the Emperor had asked for an opinion from him.
"I will follow your decision Your Majesty" Rubia said calmly, he has no choice but to agree, if he refuses then he will be considered to have insulted the Emperor and Duke Harington.
"Good decision Rubia, you must have a companion who can cover your shortcomings as a woman, and sir Axel Harington is the perfect match for you"
Deg, again Rubia had to hear such words from the Emperor, the Emperor deliberately emphasized his words with the intention that he was the one who was greater than his daughter, and Rubia had to receive help from an outsider to become the future Emperor.Rubia could only clench her hand to hold back the words that hurt her pride the other time.
"Your engagement will be held in conjunction with the celebration of the victory of the war in two days" said the Queen who occasionally sipped her drink.
"Well" replied Rubia and Axel simultaneously.
"Since you two are close from childhood surely you will be a very harmonious couple, right Duke? hohoho"
"Yes, of course Your Majesty" the Duke replied as he glanced at his son.
Both parents seem happy with the plan, but Axel and Rubia themselves know clearly about how their relationship has been for years, Axel glanced at Rubia who was just silent, she knew very well that the Princess did not like her but was forced to accept her, Axel smiled wryly before the King and Queen.
Rubia returned to her room after experiencing the unpleasant situation, she sat down with her head leaned against the table, Fiona who was behind her noticed
That master.
"Did anything upset you, Your Majesty?" ask Fiona.
"Yes, there"
Fiona immediately raised her sword "Who is that?"
"Emperor"
"Huh?Emm aheemmmm" he competed to fix the frame of his sword.
Rubia got up from her seat "I have to go somewhere"
"What are you going to do?" he followed Rubia, who walked before his closet.
"You too, change your clothes with this" Rubia gave the usual clothes worn by commoners and a thick black robe that covered the head and half the face.
"What is this, where did you get this from?"
"Confidential"
"Are we going to go out silent Your Majesty?"
"Yes, of course we have to do things like on the battlefield"
"Your Majesty, what if His Majesty finds out and you are punished?"
"Eat it don't find out, hurry up"
"Yes, okay"
Before long they both went out quietly through the window and walked through the roof, no wonder if there were guards who saw and thought they were intruders, fortunately around Rubia's palace there were not many guards standing guard, he said,because Rubia's palace was far from the palace of the King and Queen, so they could jump the fence easily. They walked together through the crowd in the middle of the market on the side of the road. The noisy voices of the merchants offered their wares until the boisterous voices of the laughing children signified how the lives of the people of this land, and its leaders, were, but there was something that troubled Rubia about the thing she had accidentally heard at the border.
"We're undercover, don't call me that"
"Yayaya, but you have to say what you're looking for so I can help you"
"Something I hear from people on the border"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Yes, I hope our minds are the same"
Dukkkkk! Rubia's step Stopped from bumping into something, she saw the man she hit looking busy staring at the falling red apple and scattered on the ground, even some of the apples were stepped on by passersby.
Rubia gestures to Fiona to give the money, Fiona throws a small bag of gold coins, which can buy more than a cart of red apples to the man, the man caught her in shock, Rubia again walked and through the man who was still staring at the apple.
Suddenly a man wearing a black robe like himself grabbed his arm and stopped him, Rubia turned to look at the hand of the man who had touched him.
"Hey, what are you doing, who dare you touch the precious Miss' hand!" fiona shouted as she raised her sword.
"Wait for Fiona, it seems like there's something this guy wants to tell me, put your sword back in, the kid who's looking will be scared" he observed the surroundings, those who are starting to be the center of attention.
"Good"
"Follow me!" The man pulled Rubia's hand and dragged her into a narrow alley not far from there, Fiona quickly followed on guard, she again pulled out her sharp sword, but Rubia stopped her with her hand from a distance.
"Kai, come here" said the man telling his sister to approach them.
"You, apologize to my sister" he said fiercely to the woman he considered impolite.
"Sister Ferderick, come on"
"No way, this woman has to apologize to you"
Rubia was still looking at the man's hand that had not yet let go of his hand "let go first just talk" rubia looked up at the man's face in front of her, the eyes of the two of them meeting each other, the cold blue eyes of the sea seemed to be able to freeze anyone who looked at him, that was the first impression Ferderick saw Rubia's eyes.
Ferderick immediately let go of his hand while turning his gaze, Fiona came forward to protect Rubia.
"What are you doing? haven't we already given the apple money?"
"Hahhh. such disrespectful behavior you take as restitution, you disgusting noble!' ferderick muttered and pulled Kaisan's hand away. He thought there was no point in dealing with a noble.
"Hey, what did you just say, you lowly human being" Fiona shouted at Ferderick who kept moving away and ignored him.
"Enough Dame Fiona, ease your anger"
"Based on this annoying young man, he thinks who he is, dare to call me disgusting, should I just kill Your Majesty?"
Rubia walks back in and Fiona follows her "Are you sure you can kill her"
"Why not?"
"I sensed the aura and mana of that man that no ordinary person possessed"
"Can you really feel something like that?"
"Of course, this is how I am still a descendant of His Majesty Alexander"
"What do you mean like this? I know you're an amazing person"
"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm untouchable"
"Eyyyy. Come on, Your Majesty smile if you are happy with my praise"
