"Strix? " Mrs Padma was shocked to hear Eldrige's words.
"Didn't the Daemonians have left the League? " Bu Padma's two hands clenched under her chin.
"I think they've infiltrated here. It's likely that they use the airway at night, that way they might be able to get through the border guard."
"I think this is a serious thing, we have to report it to King Sagar. "
"I also planned like that, but King Sagar is currently definitely in Watu Ijo Kingdom to attend the Royal League Meeting."
"But this school needs immediate care. I can't imagine if any of the guardians knew this." Bu Padma's face hardened.
"I will try to protect this school until King Sagar returns. " Say Eldrige.
"Do you really want to do it? " There was a twinkle of relief in Bu Padma's gray eyes.
"Of course, I won't let Princess Juwita be in danger! " Eldrige's voice sounded flat without emotion.
"I'm really grateful if you want to protect this school! " Said Mrs Padma.
Miss Sekar who had been silent, now looked at Eldrige with admiration. From the very beginning he knew the man, Eldrige always showed concern and responsibility.
"So, am I allowed to stay here temporarily? "
"of course. Miss Sekar will show you your room. " Mrs Padma turned her eyes to Miss Sekar.
"Thank you, I'm sorry. " After bowing for a moment, Eldrige came out following Miss Sekar.
Throughout the school hallway, the girls stared in awe at Eldrige while whispering. They were very curious as to why that handsome man was still here.
Suddenly Eldrige stopped and stared intently at a girl who had just entered the building.
"What are you doing? " His voice sounded gentle as well as firm, asking the girl for an explanation.
"I want to go to school." The girl answered while holding her books.
"Who allowed you? " Tanya Eldrige
"I'm well, Eldrige. I'm bored if I keep in my room. "
"I'll keep you company, you won't get bored." The man's reply instantly made the girls watching him grow hysterical.
Princess Juwita who was feeling uneasy immediately walked towards Eldrige and pulled her hand, then dragged the man out of the school building.
"Jeez, Eldrige! You're hysterical about my friends! Can you not be flashy? " The girl looks very upset.
"What do you mean, Juwita? " Tanya Eldrige didn't understand.
"Didn't you see those girls constantly looking at you? Or maybe you like it, get their attention? " Princess Juwita pouted.
"I don't know. I never intended to attract anyone! " Unless you. Splice Eldrige in the heart.
"After all, what the hell are you doing here?" Princess Juwita looked at Eldrige sharply, making the fairy bewildered.
"Eldrige will stay here for a while. " Suddenly a voice cut through their debate.
"Miss Sekar? " Princess Juwita was shocked.
"Bu Padma asked Eldrige to help keep the school safe. I'm very happy because Eldrige is willing to accept it. " Miss Sekar Sekar speaks very gracefully.
"Let's Eldrige, I'll show you your room! " Miss Sekar smiled at Eldrige and walked past Princess Juwita just like that.
"I'm going first, Juwita! " Eldrige immediately caught up with Miss Sekar who was still standing in the field waiting for her. They then walked towards the dorm building together.
"this serious? " Daughter Juwita looked at Eldrige's back in disbelief.
Princess Juwita was agape at the sight of it. The girl was disappointed and upset not playing. Now he was completely convinced that there was something between the two of them.

The Royal League meeting is over. Several delegations of representatives of the members of the Royal League have already returned. However, King Satria and King Sagar were still there to gather with the royal family who were still their relatives.
"How are you, Sagar? " Queen Gita greeted her husband's cousin while they were gathering that night.
"My news is good, Brother Gita. A while ago my wife and I met Juwita. She really is an interesting girl! " Said King Sagar.
"Thank you because you wanted to see him. Even though he looks mature, yet his nature is still childish." Queen Gita replied.
"No, she's a pretty wise girl. Actually, my wife's niece is coming. She's almost the same age as Juwita, and I see Ryo might be interested in her. But your daughter responded to the young man as an honorable princess! " Apparently the attitude of Princess Juwita who somewhat kept her distance with Prince Ryota impressed King Sagar.
"Ryo's? " King Satria immediately looked at King Sagar with caution.
"Prince Ryota is my wife's niece, Queen Akemi. He also came to Alsatia to attend school. " King Sagar was unaware of the hostile aura of King Satria once he told him about Prince Ryota.
King Gaurav who understood the nature of King Satria immediately sought reason so that the man would not be angry.
"I heard that the schools in Alsatia are very strict? " Task King Gaurav to his brother-in-law to divert the conversation.
"What about students who have a somewhat weak physique?" Ask King Gaurav.
King Sagar understood the direction of King Gaurav's conversation towards Princess Devi.
"For students with such conditions it is preferable to study privately. " Absaid King Sagar in a weak voice.
King Gaurav nodded in understanding. Suddenly he saw his wife straightening her back.
"I'm planning on asking Eldrige to take Devi to Lucshire to meet Queen Malea. " Said the Queen Elok, the woman's face looks tough.
"Where did you get such an idea? " King Gaurav was feeling a bit riled up. He could not imagine his beloved daughter living in the middle of the forest.
"I suggested it, Gaurav." Said Queen Gita softly. The woman's smile never failed to soften King Gaurav's heart.
"But will the Queen of Malea accept my son? " King Gaurav looks a bit doubtful.
"Queen Malea is very wise. I'm sure your daughter will be safe with him." This time King Satria was convinced. The man will never forget his encounter with the ruler of the Kingdom of Lucshire.
"If you think so, I have no reason to refuse." King Gaurav said, sipping his drink.
A smile spread on the lips of Queen Elok when she heard the words of her husband. She hopes her decision this time can bring positive change for her daughter.

At dinner, Eldrige is seen joining Miss Sekar's table. They both ate the food quietly. The girls whisper and throw a code of gaze and deheman in response to Eldrige's presence.
Princess Juwita was seen staring fiercely at the two men and did not care about her friends who wanted to ask her about Eldrige.
"Why is your face so tangled? " Whisper Ningrum.
"I'm still not feeling well." Replied Princess Juwita did not lose slowly. But somehow at that time Eldrige immediately turned to him as if hearing the girl's words.
"Want to eat a little. Can the sausage you got rid of be mine? I really like that sausage. " Tanya Ningrum's.
"Take it! " Daughter Juwita moved all her sausages to Ningrum's plate. The girl did not realize that Eldrige was watching her from earlier.
"Is it tonight you're not hungry? " Task Ningrum again when he saw that his friend had finished his meal.
"I still have my nanny's supply of sweets." Princess Juwita smiled faintly.
Eldrige's forehead wrinkled up at the girl he had been nurturing since the baby.
"Huh, those nights eating sweets? He should be sick!" Eldrige's grouse was not happy.
"You love eavesdropping on your Princess, Eldrige!" Sindir Nona Sekar's.
"He's my responsibility, Sekar! " Answer Eldrige in a flat tone.
"You're wrong! Now he's my responsibility." Reply Miss Sekar.
"I'm here to protect him anyway. " Speak Eldrige while putting a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Not just him, you're obligated to protect us all." The woman used Eldrige's words.
"It turns out that after being a housewife, you're getting better at talking. "
"Thank you for your compliment, Eldrige. " Miss Sekar smiled sarcastically.
Eldrige raised his glass with a smile towards Miss Sekar.
After dinner, the girls enjoy their break. Princess Juwita rushed back to her room on the second floor. He wanted to cool his mind that had been jittery since.
Suddenly the door of his room opened and his friends went inside.
"Are you still sick? " Tanya Sari while dropping her body next to Princess Juwita who was lying on the bed.
"It's a little bit confusing, why? " Task Princess Juwita.
"Later tonight we want to celebrate Sapna's eighteenth birthday in her room." Sari.
"I really hope you all can come. I got a bunch of cookies and candy from my parents." Sapna's face looked bright as she told that.
"I want to but.. " I'm not sure Eldrige will allow it. Princess Juwita grumbled in her heart.
"I won't force you if you're still sick. Don't worry, I'll give you those delicious cookies! " Sapna sat on the narrow bed.
"Thank you, Sapna. Before it's too late, I want to wish you a happy birthday! " Daughter Juwita lifted her body and sat down next to Sapna then hugged the girl.
"Thank you, Juwita! " Sapna smiled happily as she returned the girl's embrace.
After talking for a while, Sari and Sapna came out. Princess Juwita was back alone in her room. The girl immediately rushed to lock the window, she was afraid that Nicolae would suddenly enter her room again.
When Princess Juwita turned around, the girl was aghast to see someone behind her.
"Would you like to come here? " Task the girl.
