“Aurel..” Say the figure.
From behind me was a boy with dark, dark blue hair. He approached me, lady, and lady Gudytha who were enjoying tea. A smile I haven't seen in a long time.
“Prince yesterday..” Call mistress Gudytha.
“Hi grandma, you guys are having a tea party?” After the prince saw tea and some pastries.
“Iyaa, how do you feel after a break? Is it better?” Miss Gudytha asked as she placed the back of her hand on the forehead of the first prince.
“I'm not too tired, aunty.” The prince replied with a crisp laugh that was nice to hear.
I noticed their conversation so familiar. They look like people who often meet and share stories. No one can believe they haven't seen each other in years.
The prince turned his head towards me, as if wondering about something. “Aurel, since when are you here? Why doesn't anyone tell me.” Said the first prince in an annoyed tone.
Madam and Miss Gudytha laughed at the adorable conduct of the prince. Suddenly he hugged me which made me quite surprised. “Aurel, why don't you tell me you're here.” Said the first prince innocently.
“Sorry prince, you came here since when?” I asked the prince who kept hugging me.
“Since yesterday.." The first prince answered with a face that was still gloomy.
"Hahahaha, it's so funny my granddaughter." The mistress of the Gudytha family laughed at the prince's behavior.
After a while had passed finally the prince let go of his embrace. Madam and Miss Gudytha did not want to disturb us finally decided to leave us to play together in the park.
The first prince pulled me towards the gazebo in the garden. The gazebo measures 3x3 meters with a brown color that looks so beautiful.
The prince lay down on the gazebo, then closed his eyes. I was confused as to what to do, I finally decided to just sit down.
"Are you uncomfortable with me?" Prince with his eyes closed.
"No prince, how does the prince think like that?" I replied surprised by what the prince had just said.
"You seem to ignore me sometimes." Prince grouse me.
I'm confused as to what to respond to, because basically we're not too close. I just met the first prince in this life. I don't want to risk this life to get too close to the palace family. I thought about becoming a queen, but I didn't want to go after that much.
"Do you prefer playing with the second prince?" Ask the prince back.
I shook my head, the prince opened one of his eyes to look at me. “Then why do you always avoid?” Ask the first prince.
“My letter to you? Why is there no reply? Is that what you hate? Or because I was the prince who was banished?” Continued the prince in a high tone that surprised me.
“Not so prince.” I said in a small voice and dared not look at the prince.
“Then?” Ask the prince back.
“I'm afraid something bad happened to you?” Answer me with fear.
“What do you mean? That's just an excuse isn't it?” The prince was upset and turned away.
“You mean?” The prince asked because he did not understand.
“One of the people around you always leaked everything to the queen.” I was clear to the prince.
“Where did you know?” Ask the prince.
I was silent for a moment, because I understood this based on my previous life. At that time one of the people around the first prince always reported the activities and what the first prince did to the queen. So that the queen was able to make a plan that was so mature to harm the first prince. “Sorry my prince couldn't tell him.” I was clear to the prince.
The prince frowned, he still did not understand where I got the information from. After that the prince breathed a heavy breath, which made me quite panicked. “Thank you for telling me, at least now I understand you don't hate me and there are bad people around me.” Prince with relief.
“Sama-sama prince.” I replied to the prince.
We fell silent awkwardly, after the debate earlier made me confused what topic to discuss with the prince.
“Ehmmm..Aurel let's go to the kitchen of this residence. Gudytha family has a reliable cook, let's make a cake together.” Bring the prince to me.
I nodded in agreement. Then we ran together towards the kitchen which was quite close to the park. Along the way we saw waiters moving groceries into the kitchen. The prince said this morning that there were some food ingredients that arrived at this residence. The waiters looked busy.
“Halo Bavol, I'm coming.” Greet the prince when entering the room.
Inside there are a lot of waiters who turned out to be cooking because it was close to lunch. “Halo, prince.” The cook's name was Bavol.
The arrival of the prince seemed to seize a lot of attention in the kitchen. Some people greeted and were greeted kindly by the prince. Until finally Bavol asked about me.
“Excuse me, prince. Is that miss Aurelia Lawrence?” Tanya Bavol excited.
“Iyaa, right. This is Aurelia Lawrence.” The first prince introduced me.
All eyes are now on me. The faces of the servants and Bavol looked shocked and incredulous. “Include my name Aurelia Lawrence.” I introduced myself according to the nobility's ethics.
The faces of Bavol and the servants were so shocked. They didn't think I'd introduce myself like that. Based on the existing tradition, a noble does not need to show too much respect to people whose status is lower than the brand.
“For us, the prince is already friendly enough to be able to get along and close to us. But miss, you stole our hearts all here.” Said one of the servants in the room.
The prince laughed at the words of the servants and Bavol. However there was no surprised expression from his face. As if he had expected that. “Aurel is like that.” He said with such a happy laugh.
“What are the princes and misses here? Can I help you?” Ask Bavol to us.
“Bavol, we're bored. Please teach us to make a cake.” Reply the prince in a limp tone.
“Ohhh so, all right. How about we make gingerbread because it's winter?” Bavol told me.
Me and the first prince stared at each other. There were impatient and excited expressions on both of our faces. Bavol immediately asked one of the servants there for help. We washed our hands with instructions from the waiter. Then the waiter helped us put on the apron so that our clothes would not get dirty and gave us plastic gloves.
“Who's sister's name?” I was wondering when the waiter helped me put plastic gloves on.
