A man enters a secret chamber through an unfit building that sits behind the stables of the western palace of the residence of the Crown Prince of the Amoland Empire.
"Let's go Edgard! " said a man who was in the lotus position while closing his eyes to breathe the manna around him.
"Hamba almost got caught by Her Majesty's Princess! It was fortunate that I quickly escaped so as not to get caught! " answered Edgard, bowing in the style of a knight.
"What nearly got you caught? " ask the handsome god-like man without opening his eyes.
"Excuse the carelessness of His Majesty's servant! The servant tried to unlock the protective magic when the Princess spoke to the man in an open space in her residence! Servants want to know their conversation out of curiosity! The moment the Princess realized her servant immediately ran away His Majesty! " answered Edgard honestly.
"Do you know the identity of that man? " ask Crown Prince Julian again.
"It's His Majesty! The man was the vice-chairman of the Silver Moon Guild that was on the border of the capital. She is an orphan who lives alone with her 15-year-old sister. Today it seems like the Princess took the younger brother to be made a personal servant as I heard earlier. And according to the analysis of the servant, the man is the man of the Princess! " answered Edgard in such detail.
"It looks like my future empress is so mysterious! There are so many secrets that he keeps from his family and everyone! Hmm, that's interesting! There has never been a woman this attractive to a Julian Emeraldy! Keep watching and keep an eye on my future empress Edgard! And don't forget to always give me your report! " crown Prince Julian said with an end to his activities.
Edgard replied and left directly before Crown Prince Julian. Julian undressed his clothes to show the muscles of his stomach and arms are so stocky and make women drool when he saw her. In the spacious room he practiced martial arts alone with tools that are so caught.
His activities stopped with the arrival of his loyal adjutant Henry.
"His Majesty's report, Your Majesty has His Majesty ask your Majesty to face the throne room! " said Henry while giving his respects.
"Is there an important meeting today? " ask Crown Prince Julian with an end to his activities.
"Yes Your Majesty! It seems to be an emergency meeting because it is not on His Majesty's agenda! Not only that, all the leaders of the region also came in the throne room besides the ministers! " answered Henry again.
"All right! Let's go over there! " crown Prince Julian said while wearing clothes and not forgetting his mask.
With his wind magic Julian made his body dry by sweat while practicing earlier. He and Henry walked in a dimly lit hallway that was directly connected to a door in his private room.

The private residence of Duke Airos..
All the servants in the residence were neatly lined up due to the Duchess' orders in the living room. They all lowered their heads with frightened faces and hands clinging to each other in trembling.
"Do you know why you're all gathered in this room? " duchess Sabrina asked with sharp eyes looking at the servants of their residence one by one.
"Sorry Your Majesty, we really don't know! " answered Roger Weber representing his subordinates.
"My personal servant overheard a rumor about my eldest daughter out there taking a dress order at Madam Evelyn's boutique! You know, they say my daughter Vira is a sad woman who failed to marry her fiance Count Clark's son! They also said the rumor that made me furious that Vira was only benefited by Count Clark's family! They say my daughter sold out expensively by delaying their marriage as a result of Count Clark's son turning to another woman! This rumor wouldn't have spread if none of you were gossiping out there! I hate keeping snakes in my house and I don't hesitate to exterminate them if you dare to hurt my children! " said Duchess Sabrina with a face full of anger.
The butler looked up at the angry face of this House Mistress who was so sinister like a ferocious tiger who was straying her calmness. This was the first time he had seen the Madam of the house get angry to this creepy.
"Emma! Take them all to the backyard to get a 10x each person punishment! George, you watch them all with Emma! I want them to make this a lesson because I wouldn't be merciful if I knew there was an enemy in the blanket in my house! " command Duchess Sabrina in a cold tone while leaving from there.
Meanwhile, Sakura and her older sister Savira were going to the Imperial Capital with their respective personal servants. They went by horse-drawn carriage bearing the emblem of their residence, the white Magnolia flower.
They went to finish breakfast with the permission of Duke Airos who at that time would also go to the Imperial palace on the orders of the Imperial Majesty. The Duke leaves with his horse while Rara and Vira go using the horse carriage.
They did not know if the atmosphere in their residence was in a scary time because their mother who pulled out her fangs that had been stored neatly.
"Huh, remember I will Betty to renovate this train to be comfortable while driving! " sakura complained while holding her waist.
Vira and Sakura's personal servant giggle at Sakura's grievances as her body is shaken up in waves as the road they are on is rocky and bumpy.
"Sister, we're only halfway through the journey to complain! It's still an hour's drive away until we reach the Imperial capital! Better to eat a snack first while enjoying the view outside! " vira said so gently as her lips always let go of a smile.
"Sister." Sakura finally came out to hear her brother's words.
Betty, Rein and Vira's personal waitress suppressed their laughter by shutting their mouths at Sakura's seemingly resigned whimper with the length of their journey.
Finally, after a three-hour drive to the Imperial Capital, they reached the gates of the Capital. By revealing their identity upon entering the checkpoint, their horse carriage entered the streets of the Capital.
"Well, there's a lot ! It looks like the capital! Houses here are so many but not as dense as housing in modern times! The streets are also big like the streets in big cities when I was still Sakura Aergantara! It's just that what distinguishes him is his road that is still unpaved land and his vehicle that is still a horse carriage is not a car or motorcycle! " sakura murmured full of admiration.
"What's she talking about?? " asked Vira by linking her brows which heard Sakura's murmur but only a glance.
"Not say anything, brother! Just admire the state of the Capital as this is Rara's first time to the Capital until this present age! " answer Sakura relaxed.
"Yes too! Yeah, well, where are we going now? " vira said as she asked her sister.
"Come away Brother Rara is confused! Rara is the first time to the capital, so do not know a good place for us to go! " sakura replies pretending not to know.
"Although it looks the same as it used to be but I feel the present Capital seems a little changed, whereas I go back to the past where there should not have been the slightest change like back then! Long ago during my stay in the Eastern palace I was never free to come out of the palace even to visit my family! That bastard always had a reason to lock me in a golden cage and stupidly I consider the ban as a form of attention and love that I do not want to do anything when I go out of the palace! Huh, how could I have been so stupid and naive just because of a fucking Oscar! Really sucks ! " sakura in his heart.
"Then we go to the shoe store that's just down the street! " vira said pointing from the window.
"Boleh Brother! Betty, tell the coachman we're going to the place that Brother Vira pointed to! " answered Sakura agreed.
Betty immediately told the coachman as Vira had said. The horse-drawn carriage again walked towards a shop designated by Vira which was located at the right turn of the end of the road leading to the market of the capital.
"Let's get down! " take Vira as their bodyguards are already standing at the door by reaching out their hands to help their Miss get off the train.
They alternately got off the train one by one including their personal servants. Sakura takes Betty and Rein while Vira brings Luna and irish.
Sakura always wears her veil every time she goes out of the house since she is aware of her coma. A shopkeeper opened the door as they stood in front of the door and greeted all of them kindly as he looked at Sakura and Vira's clothes which looked graceful like that of the noble Miss although Sakura's clothes looked simple to the size of the noble Miss at that time.
"Please enter Misses! I'll help Miss pick and see the latest collection in our store! " said the waiter with a friendly smile.
Vira replied with no less friendly, while Sakura just kept quiet and walked along next to her brother.
"I didn't think! The shop is crowded too! Seen from the many noble ladies who came to this shop and it seems that this shoe store is like a special shoe store for nobles because I see no ordinary people entering this store! Just look at those who come on average wearing clothes that are so striking like a walking clothing store, not to mention the amount of bling-bling jewelry all over their bodies, plus the menor decoration that makes their faces like clowns! " sakura said in her heart with a cynical smile behind her veil.
"Well, whoa, whoa.. ! I didn't expect to see Eldest Miss Airos in this shop! Greetings to Miss Airos, may you always be blessed! " said someone approaching them from the left.
Sakura and Vira immediately turned their heads to see who had come to greet them.
"Miss Salomon.. ! May you also bless Miss Salomon! Will you buy shoes like us? " saw Vira with a glance.
"Of course Miss! Who is this lady who covered her face? I've never met a Miss who wears a face mask like this! " ask Liliana with a pretence of familiarity.
Well, the one who greeted them was Liliana De Salomon. He who was lazy to shop became excited when he saw Savira from a distance.
"This is my sister Sakura! He had indeed covered his face since waking up from illness! " reply replied Vira gently.
"God.. ! Forgive my ignorance young Miss Airos! How are you doing now? I heard you fell into a coma almost two months after the incident of fainting at your debutante party at the time! I'm sorry young lady! " said Liliana a rather loud voice and a face made concerned.
"Curtain, you hypocrite! Maybe everyone can be fooled by your concerned face is Liliana, but I won't be fooled anymore because I know in your heart you're laughing cheerfully at me! " said Rara growled in her heart.
Liliana's loud speech attracted the attention of some noble Miss who was in the shoe store. They focused their attention on them and instead partially walked closer towards Liliana like providing support for some reason.
"Thank you for worrying about me Miss Salomon! Until now I was fine even though I was in a coma for almost two months! " sakura replied coldly behind her veil.
Not only Liliana and the noble Miss who was there were shocked to hear Sakura's cold tone, Vira and her personal servant were also shocked to hear Sakura's cold tone on Liliana.
Liliana incubated in her heart hearing Sakura's cold tone, she clenched her hands while squeezing her dress. He smiled again and raised his face as if Sakura's words had no effect on him.
"I'm sorry if my words offend young Miss Airos! Oh yes, by the way how are you Miss Eldest Airos! I am deeply saddened and concerned by your failure to marry Count Clark's son! I didn't expect Ben to be able to do such a heinous thing by betraying you! Though you are a very beautiful woman, classy and rich, but Ben easily turned to other women! " liliana said with a veiled intention while always smiling face wide.
Vira's face instantly changed hearing Liliana's long speech. His heart rumbled violently and he wanted to feel like he was gagging Liliana's venomous mouth which was conditional on an insult.
"Hold your emotions! Step back because I will face a poisonous woman like this! " sakura whispered in her sister's ear.
