Queen Without Crown

Chapter 98 United

Eldrige is very worried about the situation of Princess Juwita. He got the information that today there was a visit from another school so there were no lessons. Finally Eldrige decided to look for Princess Juwita.

While passing through the crowd of students who were chatting loudly, Eldrige did not find Princess Juwita. Finally, he decided to look for her in class.

However, how surprised he was when he saw a young man who was looking at Princess Juwita. As the young man's hand was raised to stroke the girl's hair, Eldrige's hand quickly caught it.

"Who are you? " Tanya Eldrige growled.

"I'm this girl's friend, my name is Bagaskara." The young man looked a bit confused.

"Juwita, wakeup! " Eldrige patted Princess Juwita on the back.

"What's Eldrige? " Daughter Juwita opened her eyes lazily.

"Let's sleep in your room! " Say Eldrige softly.

"Hoam.. I'm so sleepy! " The girl's behavior is very cute making the two men in front of her so anxious.

"Here, get on my back!" Eldrige immediately crouched down in front of Princess Juwita. He did not want the brash young man next to him to constantly glare at Princess Juwita.

The girl got up and immediately jumped on Eldrige's back while wrapping her arms around the man's neck. Then Eldrige stood up while holding the feet of Princess Juwita who wrapped around her waist.

Eldrige then stepped away while holding Princess Juwita, leaving Bagaskara who could only stare in disbelief.

"Damn! " Follow the young man.

Finally he went to join his friends. He did not expect to experience this at all. He had imagined spending time alone with the girl.

Who would have thought there was even a tall and silver-haired man who suddenly immediately took away the girl.

Who is that guy? Is he a teacher here? Shouldn't all the teachers in this school be women?

Bagaskara was still preoccupied with various questions on his mind about the man who took Princess Juwita away.

Meanwhile Eldrige walked while carrying Princess Juwita who was asleep on her back towards the girl's room located on the second floor.

When Eldrige was stepping on the stairs, Miss Sekar accidentally passed by and saw her. The woman was stunned to see Eldrige holding Princess Juwita. He just found out that the relationship between Eldrige and Princess Juwita is that close.

There was something that felt like it was squeezed inside his chest. Then the woman immediately left the place.

*****

Eldrige looked at Princess Juwita who was asleep in her bed. The man was really worried about the girl. There could have been an unknown young man who dared to approach her while the girl was asleep.

What angered him the most was that the young man was trying to touch him. Eldrige was completely unwilling that anyone would dare to touch his Lord Daughter.

"Don't carelessly trust people, Princess. There's a lot of bad guys out there that you don't know about. This world is not as beautiful as your shadow! " Said Eldrige while stroking Princess Juwita's head.

The girl blinked as she felt Eldrige hand caress her head. Then he smiled when he saw Eldrige's face.

"Eldrige, don't go! " Daughter Juwita held Eldrige's hand tightly, then the girl went back to sleep.

"I'm not going anywhere, Juwita! " Answer Eldrige.

All afternoon, Eldrige did not leave from Princess Juwita's side. He continued to wait faithfully for her by the girl's bedside. When Princess Juwita finally woke up, time was past noon.

"Thank you for bringing me here, Eldrige. " Daughter Juwita said as the girl was completely awake. His body feels fresher now.

"I don't mind doing it. You look so sweet in your sleep, Princess! " Eldrige looked at the girl with a look of admiration.

Eldrige's words made Princess Juwita blush. If only their relationship would have remained this way, he would have been very happy. Yet he cannot be selfish by mastering Eldrige for himself. He had to free her to make her happy.

"Eldrige, I won't force you to always be by my side. I want you to be happy. So, go Eldrige. Go after the woman you love! " Daughter Juwita ventured to look directly into Eldrige's eyes that were as red as ruby.

"What are you saying, Juwita? I don't understand at all. Don't ever tell me to leave! Don't ever tell me to stay away from you! " Remove Eldrige.

"But I want you to be happy, Eldrige! Therefore, now I release you! " Daughter Juwita tried to crush Eldrige.

"But I don't want to leave you, Juwita! " Remove Eldrige. Suddenly the man was afraid if Princess Juwita threw him away.

"No, Eldrige! You've taken care of me since the baby. Now is your chance to achieve your own happiness! " The girl insisted.

"But my happiness is you, Princess. My dream is to be with you always! " Eldrige speaks with the heart as it is slashed.

"Don't you want to go after the woman you love? " Task Princess Juwita again to make sure.

"Yes, I want to go after the woman I love." Eldrige answered seriously.

"Then go after it, I won't stand in your way!" This time Princess Juwita really tried to strengthen her heart.

"Can I go after him? " Task Eldrige while looking intently at the girl.

"of course. I'm still happy even though you'll remember me only once in a while." Said Princess Juwita even though her chest felt tight.

"Why do I only remember you once in a while? You have even mastered my mind. Every day that I remember and think about is you, Juwita! " Eldrige's sharp eyes seemed to pierce through his heart.

"What do you mean, Eldrige? " The girl really doesn't understand.

"I love you, Princess. You're the only woman I want. Will you accept me, Juwita? " Eldrige's gaze now looked very soft.

Princess Juwita looked at Eldrige's face in disbelief. All this time he thought that the man in front of him was in love with Miss Sekar.

Yet looking at Eldrige's expression now that looked solemn with a pair of eyes that radiated love, would he still have to doubt his sincerity?

"Can you say one more time the words you just said, Eldrige? " Pinta the girl.

"Which words? " Eldrige pretended she didn't understand to tease the girl.

"Huft, you're such a bitch! " The girl beat Eldrige's chest in annoyance at being played with.

But Eldrige immediately caught his hand and kissed it gently, "I love you, Princess! "

Eldrige's words instantly made Princess Juwita melt. The girl's face was completely red to the ears. Shamefully the girl tried to hide her smile.

"What's your answer, Juwita? Do you accept my love? " Eldrige looked at Princess Juwita expectantly.

"of course. Your answer is very important to me. With that, I will be able to determine the next step I will take." Said Eldrige solemnly.

Princess Juwita finally nodded, yet she no longer dared to look at Eldrige's face.

"Yes, Eldrige. I accept it." Answer the girl slowly.

"Didn't you feel compelled? " Task Eldrige while bringing her face closer.

"Yes, I don't have to." The girl said, still embarrassed.

"Do you love me too? "

"Yes, I also love.. " Suddenly Princess Juwita looked up and smothered her own mouth.

"Why don't you go ahead and cover your mouth like that? " God Eldrige.

"I'm ashamed, Eldrige! "

"But I want to hear it, Juwita! " Snake Eldrige.

Suddenly Princess Juwita brought her face closer to Eldrige's ear and whispered there.

"I love you, Eldrige! " His soft voice made the elf float.

The king of Satria and his retinue soon returned to Elfian. The rather long journey was forced to end because of the threat from the Daemonie nation.

King Satria ordered that the guard be tightened immediately, especially at night. They were also ordered to build a watchtower at several points devoted to watching the movement in the air.

A few days later, Queen Malea's entourage of fairies arrived. They were the fairy warriors that Queen Malea had ordered to help the Elfian Kingdom.

Faye, a beautiful fairy who is often sent to meet King Satria also participated in the group. There is also Arya, Miss Sekar's sister.

King Satria welcomed their arrival with a feeling of relief. He could not have faced the dark forces of the Daemonies just by relying on his army, not without Eldrige's help. While the fairy is now being assigned to look after Princess Juwita.

"How did the Daemonies develop? Is their location known? " Ask King Satria while meeting with the Royal Council and the fairies.

"The Daemonies changed into Strix birds and have crossed various regions in the Royal League." Answer Faye.

"You mean, they've probably already managed to infiltrate every region of the kingdom?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Faye nodded in confirming.

"Where are the Strix hiding? "

"That's not what we can know because they can blend in with ordinary citizens. "

"There must be certain places they might like. In the cave for example?"

"Ehm, they are not primitive creatures living in caves. They are a nation that loves beautiful places. A place with magnificent architecture would probably interest them." Faye.

"Do you think they're hiding in this palace? " Task King Satria when thinking about that possibility.

"I have to make sure of it first." Faye answered honestly.

"Well, from now on there will be checks in buildings and buildings that look beautiful and magnificent. And that includes the palace! " The Command of King Satria.

Some staff immediately took notes. There was not a word in the meeting that they missed.

King Satria then checked the map that had just been provided by a Royal staff. There are already marked places that have been reported about the appearance of Strix.

"How many sighting reports have you received today? "

"There are three reports, Your Honor. In here! " Say Radit. The Royal Investigator, who served for a dozen years, is now the chairman of the Royal Bureau of Investigation.

"Alright, keep monitoring! " The Command of King Satria.

They continued to discuss until late at night. Then King Satria closed the meeting telling everyone to do their duty.

A large group of black birds flashed above the night sky. Then the group flew over the trees flanking a long road leading to a school building.

They swooped down and circled above the school building. Then they quickly entered the open door.

A black-clothed man immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.

"How are your work? " The man was standing before a group of young men dressed in black.

"We managed to infiltrate the places you ordered! " Answer one of the young men.

"Have you found Vincent, Nicolae? "

The young man who stood at the very back shook his head.

"Sorry, I haven't found it yet. "

"Why are you so careless? Your partner has been missing for a few days and you haven't been able to find him? Has your heart become weak because I'm assigned to guard the ladies' dormitory? "

"I'll find Vincent soon!"

"And if you fail? " The man looked at Nicolae, wanting to ensure the seriousness of the young man.

"I am willing to accept punishment! " Answer Nicolae.

"Well, you promised me yourself!" The man looked at the young men.

"Late next week is your chance to act. I hope you can complete your mission well! Remember, never leave your friends! You guys have to be compact! "

"Okay, Domn ! " Reply them in unison.
