Queen Without Crown
Chapter 96 The Discussion of the Girls
Princess Juwita woke up in the morning with a smile on her face. He was happy that last night Eldrige came to see him.
The girl quickly took a shower and got ready for school. As he descended down, his eyes looked at the cracked wall of the dormitory. His friends also looked puzzled at the crack.
Did the earthquake happen last night? Did I sleep too well to not notice?
Princess Juwita walked into the dining room that had been filled with several girls and sat waiting for her friends.
"Did you feel the earthquake last night? " Sari who had just come immediately asked as soon as the girl sat down next to Princess Juwita.
"No."
"I don't either. It's so weird, why doesn't anyone feel it? " Say Sari.
"Who were you with last night? " Sari smiled seductively.
"Whatchu mean? "
"Don't lie! Last night Sapna saw a man in your room delivering a cake. " Sari smiled at Princess Juwita.
"Is that the ghost you were referring to at the time? " Sapna suddenly whispered in Princess Juwita's ear making the girl shocked.
"No, you're wrong. " Reported Princess Juwita with a slightly flushed face. He couldn't possibly say that Eldrige had come to see him.
"Yes if you don't want to confess. We'll ask Ningrum! " Ratri who had come with Sapna laughed gigglingly.
Ningrum who came last was immediately asked a question by his friends.
"I don't know, I went to bed earlier last night. " Ningrum's answer disappointed his friends.
When Miss Sekar walked into the dining room, the atmosphere was suddenly quiet. They all ate breakfast quietly.
When Princess Juwita walked out suddenly Miss Sekar greeted her.
"How are you today, Juwita? Did you sleep well? "
"Yes, Miss Sekar. I slept well last night. "
"Thank God. Eldrige probably won't be home for a few days, he's got to do something. " Miss Sekar seems to be hiding something.
"Oh, that? "
"As long as Eldrige isn't around, you don't have to worry. I'll help you. " Miss Sekar spoke very kindly.
"Thank you, Miss Sekar. "
"No need to worry, Eldrige and I have known each other for a long time. I know both of your parents. " Miss Sekar smiled.
That day Princess Juwita went through her school activities without anything happening. It's just that he feels a bit lost to Eldrige.
*****
Eldrige accompanies Princess Devi to meet Queen Malea in the Kingdom of Lucshire. The young girl looked at the nature around her in amazement.
The various giant trees and creeping plants wrapped around the tree branches made it feel like entering another world.
Eldrige smiled looking at the innocent behavior of the girl who was walking next to him. The girl looked cheerful, the reddish tinge on her cheeks signifying her spirit.
"We're almost there, Princess." Eldrige said as they walked under the canopy of white Sempervirens roses.
The girl smiled then nodded to Eldrige. He could not wait to live his new life in this forest. All this time the girl was only confined in her room and Graha Usadha.
He had no friends, even the servants were reluctant to accompany him. They just do the job and then leave after. Only her mother and father showed her affection.
The memories of her playing kite with her mother and aunt at least gave her another color in her monotonous life. But now, the girl was in the palace of the fairies who only existed in the delusion of people.
Princess Devi saw a beautiful, long-haired woman dangling down almost to her ankles. The woman smiled at him which made him curl his lips.
There was an aura of majesty surrounding the woman. Without being told, the girl is convinced that she is the Queen of Malea, the supreme leader of the fairies in the Kingdom of Lucshire.
"Greetings, Queen Malea! " The girl bowed respectfully to Queen Malea. His polite and quick attitude impressed Queen Malea.
"Greetings Princess Devi! " The Queen of Malea answered.
Princess Devi was shocked that Queen Malea knew her name, but the girl held her tongue to ask. Although he did not meet many others, he never forgot the manners taught by his mother, Queen Elok.
"King Gaurav sent a letter and parcel to His Majesty! " Eldrige took out a letter and a gift box from her pocket. He handed the letter and the gift box to Queen Malea.
"Tell my thanks to King Gaurav, tell me that I really appreciate his gift! "
Eldrige nodded. He waited quietly as Queen Malea read a letter from King Gaurav.
"I've read your father's letter, and I understand it. From now on you will stay here with me Princess Devi." Queen Malea spoke to Princess Devi.
"Thank you Your Majesty. " The girl showed her gratitude.
After that Princess Devi was escorted by some fairies to her room. Meanwhile Eldrige still had a serious conversation with Queen Malea.
"There were Daemonies who broke into the Griya Pitutur dormitory in the Kingdom of Alsatia."
"I was expecting it Eldrige. Some time ago my soldiers caught dark energy crossing the border of the Lucshire forest. I did Scrying right away. I saw Strix birds flying through almost the entire territory of the Royal League."
"So my guess is right? " Surmurm Eldrige.
"I will send my soldiers to help guard the territory of the Royal League."
"I'm glad to hear that, Your Majesty. "
"By the way Eldrige, I can feel your frozen heart has now completely melted away." The words of Queen Malea made Eldrige's face red.
"Are you really in love?" Queen Malea asked in a soft voice.
"I don't know Your Majesty. I used to think I was in love, but this time the feeling I felt was so different and foreign. I used to be able to hold back my emotions and stick to common sense, but this time I sometimes lost control." Eldrige answered honestly.
"That's the love of Eldrige. You won't be able to understand it even if you study for hundreds of years."
"What should I do, Your Majesty?" Eldrige asked almost in despair.
"Follow your heart, Eldrige. Follow the destiny that led you!"
"Am I not destined not to feel love? "
"Who said? Your heart is purposely frozen to keep you steadfast in your duties as a Guardian. But from the beginning, your destiny wasn't for it. That's why I told you that one day your frozen heart will warm again." Queen Malea looked at Eldrige with shady eyes.
"Is that moment now? Does His Majesty allow it?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! "

"There will be another Baggata game next week. We should watch it together! " Sari said to her friends as they gathered in her room after dinner.
"Well, I can't wait to support Bagaskara! " Sapna was strangled with pleasure.
"I heard that tomorrow's match the Kesatrian School team will be against the Elixir School team . Imagine, young men of medicine would play Baggata! " Ratri followed along strangled happily.
"Heard you had a brother who studied at Elixir School, Ningrum? " Sari suddenly asked Ningrum.
"Yes, my sister went to school there. " Answer Ningrum.
"So your family is a medicine expert? " Tanya Sari's.
"My father was the physician of the Alsatian court." Ningrum mentioned his father's post proudly.
"Wow, I can't believe your father turned out to be an important person! My father was just a county official." Grieved Ratri.
"What about your father, Juwita? What position? " Tanya Sari's.
"That's. uh, my dad is.. " Princess Juwita hesitated to answer. He did not want to boast about his father's position.
"Have, we do not have to ask the position of each parent. We can all go to school here because we are still descendants of nobles! " Sapna mediate.
Princess Juwita is very grateful her friends have not asked about her father's position.
"By the way, why is Mr Eldrige nowhere to be seen today? " Sari was very curious because her only entertainment in this dorm suddenly disappeared.
"Could Mr Eldrige have gone home to Elfian? Do you know Juwita? " Tanya Ratri's.
"I don't know. " Reply replied Princess Juwita honestly.
"It's a pity, even though just looking at his handsome face can make me excited! " Sari is acting limp.
"You're a really naughty noble girl! " Sapna pretended to scold Sari.
"Didn't you realize Miss Sekar's attitude today was warmer? " Sari leaned forward and spoke dramatically.
"meaning? " Tanya Ningrum didn't understand.
"So Miss Sekar asked me if I slept well last night, do you believe that? " Sari said as if it was something extraordinary.
"really? " Daughter Juwita said, she remembered that this morning Miss Sekar also asked her the same thing.
"So Miss Sekar also asked my news. " Said Ratri.
"Do you think that's weird? Isn't that a normal question? " Task Princess Juwita.
"Of course it's strange, all this time Miss Sekar just made sure all the girls here obey the rules. He never asked me if we slept well." Ratri spoke seriously.
"Sound! " Daughter Juwita also felt strange.
"I think Miss Sekar's attitude changed because something happened! " Sari said, making her friends look at her curiously.
"Something? " Daughter Juwita confused.
"Miss Sekar is in love! " Sari said with great confidence.
"What's? With who? " Ratri and Sapna spoke together.
"With the only man allowed to stay in this dorm, Mr. Eldrige! " Sari spoke out loud.
The deg!
Suddenly Princess Juwita's chest rumbled. It turned out that it was not just him who thought that something was going on between Eldrige and Miss Sekar.
"Why do you think that? " Princess Juwita asked in annoyance.
"Because people who are in love, usually will do something that is out of the ordinary." Sari said sok know.
"Fell in love? Have you ever fallen in love with Sari? " Task Princess Juwita out of curiosity.
"You don't ask him that, Juwita! Sari always fell in love with every handsome guy she met! " Sapna shook her head.
All his friends laughed when they heard him. Sari pouted and pretended to sulk.
"But I love the feeling of falling in love. " Say Sari.
"Falling in love is what it feels like? " Task Princess Juwita again.
"Fell in love, you'll be pounding when you meet her. Always remembered him. I will miss him if I don't meet. You'll be so happy even if you just hear his voice! " Sari spoke as if she was dreaming.
"Did you read it in a book? " Ejek Ratri's.
"That's all my own thinking! " Reply Sari did not accept.
"Juwita, have you ever liked someone? Maybe with someone you just met? " Now Sari turned her question to Princess Juwita.
Princess Juwita thought for a moment. He has never been friends with the opposite sex. The only man close to her other than her father was Eldrige. If someone asks if he likes it, the answer is yes. But he couldn't possibly fall in love with Eldrige, because Eldrige was already like family.
"When I left here, on the way I met a young man. " Princess Juwita suddenly remembered Prince Ryota.
"really? Tell us that! " His friends swarmed him.
"We were just looking at each other. When I stopped by my uncle's house, we met again." Princess Juwita was a bit embarrassed to tell it.
"Well, maybe he's your soul mate! " Excited Ratri.
"That's romantic! " Sari seems to be enjoying a romance story.
"Say people, if you meet once it's called accidentally. But if you meet him many times, it means you are a match! " Ningrum suddenly said surprisingly.
"You don't mess around! " Disputing Princess Juwita.
"I'm serious! I've heard someone say it. " An Ningrum replied as he flicked his shoulder.
"Remember that Juwita, who knows you've met her again. " Sapna God.
Princess Juwita's face became red because it constantly teased her friends. The girl was pounding imagining that Prince Ryota was really her soul mate.
