Eps 78 Dating Night Festival

Rubia and Ferderick went out quietly from the palace after changing into their clothes and wearing black robes that covered their heads, they walked among the crowd of people who were enjoying the festival along the way, the hustle and bustle filled with happiness, various shows also enliven the atmosphere of the festival, the night is getting late but the crowd passing by is getting denser.

"Master Count, hold my hand or you'll be left behind" he whispered as he reached out.

"Alright, even though I should have said so" he muttered, then he grabbed Rubia's hand.

"What did you say?"

"No, here please call me by name only Sire"

"Well, you also call me by name"

"What's? I didn't dare.." His face started to feel hot.

"Why? We're undercover"

"Alright, Miss Rubia" he fluttered his hand in front of her face in shame.

"Good"Rubia smiled with satisfaction.

Ferderick began to see snack vendors lined up on the roadside "Have you had dinner Miss?"

"Why indeed?You want to buy me food?"

His face was so embarrassed "Ehemmm, I dare not make you eat foods that are not yet clear of safety"

"Why indeed, I've wanted to try that since I was a child every time there was a festival in the empire " Rubia pointed to a meat satay trader who inserted various vegetables such as onions and peppers between the meat diced, the merchant was being mobbed by visitors.

Ferderick stopped his steps "Please wait here, I'll be right back" Ferderick walked quickly and returned with a few skewers of meat in his hand.He approached Rubia who was sitting on the wooden bench of the city square while his eyes continued to circle around the surrounding area.

"I'm coming Miss" Ferderick held out a skewer in his hand, Rubia picked it up, smelling the scent of burnt meat first.

"Thank you Fer, this looks delicious" When Rubia was about to open her mouth Ferderick stopped her.

"Wait, let me check the flavor first Miss"

"Yes well" Rubia smiled faintly at Ferderick who was eating with a mouth full of food.

"Pffit.." Rubia covered her mouth with her hands.

"Why are you laughing?" he said after swallowing his food quickly.

"You look cute"

Ferderick turned his eyes away in embarrassment "You can already eat it, I'm sure it's safe"

"Yes, alright" Rubia ate the satay quickly, her eyes twinkling with her head nodding a nod.

"You like it?"

"Yes, this is delicious" Ferderick smiled at Rubia who was eating excitedly, by the way this is his first time seeing Rubia seen enjoying the food, saying, right now her face looks carefree as if she is just an ordinary noble girl, who would have thought that the Emperor was eating a satay by the roadside with himself with a very simple appearance.

Suddenly people began to run while looking up at the sky, Rubia wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and then pulled Ferderick's hand and took her walking quickly, they stopped at an old building that looked solid, then Rubia climbed up slowly until she arrived on the roof, she waved her hand asking Ferderick to follow her up, Ferderick followed him and they sat side by side on the roof looking up at the sky.

"Today you surprised me a lot Sire"

"really? It seems I was too excited until I forgot my dignity, ahem ahemm"

"Don't hesitate, Sire, I'm glad to see this side of you" Ferderick smiled at him, Rubia smiled at him.

"Baginda-" he did not finish his speech because a loud voice interjected.

"Beautiful right?"

"Yes, very pretty" she replied muttering.

Until a while finally the fireworks show had finished, they saw people start walking away from the capital square, the capital square, the road began to stretch because people have returned to their homes after a day of enjoying the festive festival.

"Baginda, please forgive my sister's mistake that made a mess at the festival"

"Had it been, he should have fought back when he had been oppressed many times, it was not a shame, do not scold him too much when you meet at home later"

"Thank you, Sire"

"I'm supposed to thank you for taking this kind of leisurely walk with me, it's the first time in my life, shouldn't I at least have to go through the night at least once during the festival before I start to age?"

"True Your Majesty"

"Simple things like this feel very special to me, being born as a princess makes me live a stifling life, no one dares to take me away at the festival, I couldn't have someone accompany me and sneak out of the palace just to watch the fireworks from a short distance away like this, sometimes I feel very envious of the lives of ordinary people who have freedom, hahh subconsciously I even complain to you"

"You have lived very well Sire, I feel proud of you" he said with a straight look ahead, Rubia looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you for coming into my life Fer"

"When I came to kill you, were you grateful"

"Ahh right too, but if it wasn't for that you wouldn't be with me now"

"She, call whenever you need someone to enjoy freedom like today"

"Can?"

"Of course, you can use this" he raised his hand and revealed the ring on his finger.

"You still wearing it?"

"I plan on not taking it off"

"Why is that?You won't regret it?"

"Let's know, I just feel empty when this sparkling thing is no longer where it should be, when I look at this blue gem I see your eyeballs and it feels soothing"

"Ehem..You say things like that like nothing" Rubia turned her face away from embarrassment.

"I don't understand either, Sire, at the end of this I can't control my own words in front of you, I always say what's on my mind without me noticing, sorry if I make you uncomfortable"

"That's not what I mean-" Rubia's attention begins to get distracted by something that steals her attention until she doesn't finish her speech.

Suddenly Rubia's eyes aghast at the glimpse of someone she knew moving appeared and disappeared back quickly down there, she woke up from her seat and her eyes followed the movements of the two people.

"What's up, Sire?"

"It seems like I saw Master chasing after someone who had a pitch-black aura" Rubia started jumping down from the roof and followed the Great Witch away, and Ferderick rushed after him.
