The Lawrence Family Rescue
CHAPTERS 15. My daughter will accompany the Prince
"How's Aurel doing today?" Ask dad in a pretty serious tone.
"As usual, Aurel is full of surprises." Answer me seriously anyway.
"What would you say if Aurel went to the palace to..." Said the father with eyes staring at the window.
"No." Cut me firmly.
"So father invited the emperor directly to lunch together." Obviously dad to me.

"Head of the Lawrence family how are you?" The emperor said to the head of the family.
"Well, how are you Emperor?" Gautam Lawrence replied.
The room was so quiet, the servants had finished arranging the food. "Lawrence, like the economy of this empire is being very very very good huh.." Cursed the Emperor with a glass of tea.
"Yes, the crops are also abundant." The head of the Lawrence family replied casually.
They talked about a lot of things about this empire. Until at one time the Emperor discussed about the successor to the imperial throne.
"You think Lawrence, who will be Emperor after me." The Emperor asked curiously.
"During this time Lawrence's family has always been neutral in terms of succession to the throne. Then what did the Emperor mean to ask like that? Do you want to change the nobility by using the surname Lawrence?" Cetus the head of the family was upset.
"I don't mean, I just ask. I know you are very sensitive on this topic, especially since the arrival of the princes to your residence." The Emperor replied trying to dampen the emotions of the man nearby.
The atmosphere of the room became so tense, a serious look on the two imperial important men. After some time had passed, the head of the family let out a rough breath.
"Anyone can be Emperor. As long as it doesn't bother my family, especially my granddaughter Aurel." Cetus was the head of the family.
"But Lawrence, your granddaughter has already taken the hearts of many, that's what a queen needs." Said the Emperor while looking seriously at his interlocutor.
"I don't want my granddaughter..." The head of the Lawrence family.
"Let me guarantee." Cut the Emperor to convince.
The head of the family's mind was hesitant, hesitant to believe the emperor's words. But the Emperor tried hard for it, for the sake of this empire. He was not a good Emperor, but he still loved his country.
The emperor raised his hand, followed by the approaching servant. I don't know what the Emperor whispered to his personal servant. But before long, the servant came with a tray of paper, a pen, and the Emperor's seal.
The Emperor wrote down a few sentences, complete with his signature and stamp. The stamp was not an arbitrary item, there was an imperial good name at stake there.
To the honorable Head of the Lawrence Family..
I am Emperor Richard the imperial sun, making a pact by risking my name and this empire to the Lawrence Family. In order to appoint Aurelia Lawrence as the companion of one of the future successors to the throne, I pledge to protect Aurelia Lawrence from all sorts of things that will happen in the future. In addition, my Emperor Richard granted Aurelia Lawrence the right to determine her own prince.
Emperor Richard.^^^
The letter that made the head of the family surprised read it and would think of the Emperor's serious request. Hopefully this agreement can be a guarantee Aurel is safe if he is in the palace someday.

"Did you agree then?" I asked dad.
"How do you think Louis?" Ask dad back.
"May.if the Emperor's assurance is truly trustworthy." Answer me flatly.
Dad was silent, his heart was hesitant to decide this. Maybe if it wasn't Aurel, dad wouldn't be this heavy deciding.
"I'll see the Emperor on this matter." My welcome is firm.
"Well, regarding this, I will follow your decision." Answer me while breathing heavily.
"Dad…." Greet Aurel cheerfully by jumping from his bed.
"Yes, baby.." I said softly as I stroked her hair.
"Daddy, have you eaten?" Ask Aurel curiously.
"Not yet..., Aurel has eaten?" Asking back.
"It's dad, Ishana brought a really good soup. Aurel has biscuits for dad, Aurel left one. Father let's try.." Aurel answered by holding a biscuit.
"Wahhh, thank you Aurel." I received the biscuits.
"Dad let's read a fairy tale for Aurel to sleep." Whine Aurel to me.
"Come, I'll read you a beautiful fairy tale for Aurel." Sahutku spirit.
Aurel ran to get the storybook on her desk, and gave it to me.
"A long time ago…"

"Chairman…." Charles said to me as he waved in front of my face.
"Oh yeah.." Answer surprised.
"Chairman why? Your gaze today is so empty?" Ask the man to me.
my mind was blank, my father's words yesterday managed to give me a deep punch. " The emperor wants my daughter to accompany one of the princes." Reply sad.
"Miss Aurel will enter the palace?" Reply with a sad tone
"It's okay everything's gonna be okay." Saying to him.
"Yes the Chairman." Charles said with a sad look.
"Heyy. Why are you suddenly sad?" My cetus to comfort him.
"It's okay, chief, I just feel sorry that lady has to enter that cruel palace." The answer made me silent.
Hearing Charles' words made me even more worried about Aurel's condition. There have been many murders in history of the Queen. The previous empress died of poisoning and until now still not revealed who the mastermind. But according to some parties the mastermind of the murder is the empress who is currently in office.
Indeed, being a companion of the prince does not guarantee that he will be the empress in the future, but it is better to prevent this.
"Here we go, let's hang out with the others." I said to shift the topic.
"Good."
We walked towards the main hall. There are already many members. One of the members came to me.
"The two will soon be approaching winter, we need to prepare ourselves to guard the northern border." Said me.
Without me knowing winter was near. It's a month until winter comes. Maybe I should spend some time preparing and having fun with Aurel.
"How about tomorrow I take Aurel for a walk?" My words inward.
"Is there a recommendation for a good place to go for a walk?" ask the people in the room.
As soon as they fell silent, perhaps my question was too sudden.
"The main street in the empire, Chief." The law of one member.
"Yeah, right. There are so many sweet foods that children love." Authorized other members.
"Listen there's a toy store that just opened there. The chairman wants to take Miss Aurel for a walk?" Said one member.
"Yeah, like your idea's good. Thanks for the idea." I said while thinking about the time for tomorrow.
"Ohh yes, chief, there are cotton candy as soft as clouds that are always crowded there. If the commander wants to come in the afternoon, so that he can enjoy the sunset." Charles said to me.
"Yes right, Miss Aurel would have liked it." Reply to one of the members.
