The Marrying The Prince

60

In these two days Kenna could continue to see her sister's bright smile. Elsa kept running around with a happy face. Kenna who saw that came to smile while occasionally rubbing her stomach.

As now, Elsa was holding a large bouquet of flowers in her milk with beautiful, fresh flowers that were new in her quote from a beautiful flower garden in the castle garden.

"It's so beautiful Kenna"

Kenna smiled warmly as she gently rubbed her sister's head

"You should ask permission first to pick the flowers"

Lazily, Elsa rolled her eyes

"Ken, this place has also become our home. After all they would not care if even if I made the bald flower garden, Dinand would easily be able to make it back"

Is correct... The present Kenna will not be the former Kenna. From now on he will be more courageous and show himself because he believes, all the places in every corner of the castle are Ferdinand's and Ferdinand is the father of the prospective child in his stomach, which was the same as if everything Ferdinand had was his as well.

In recent days, Kenna has begun to study the gestures, habits, and ways of the nobility. As now, he was carrying out the habit of nobles sitting quietly while enjoying morning tea gracefully, enjoying a relaxed life without the need to think about what tomorrow they will eat, what, or tomorrow they have to work as hard as they can.

All the scenery there made Anastasia smile wryly. He was still standing in front of the window of his library while gazing towards the garden. It had been two days that he locked himself in the library especially if Ferdinand was going to the palace. He will only come out to eat at the dining table, or when he has to check and arrange for castle needs.

Honestly, Anastasia no longer cares about everything in this castle. Honestly, Anastasia started to hate everything in this castle. Ahh right too... If he doesn't care, then why take care of him again? then just vanish, right?

"Ruth"

Ruth who was reading a book in the library to accompany Anastasia immediately put down with her book plan, and immediately stood politely.

"Yes, Your Highness"

"Tell Carl, if I want to flatten the garden"

Ruth's eyes were confused

"Pardon, Your Highness?"

Anastasia who could understand Ruth's confusion, immediately turned to look at Ruth with a smile

"Say it today too. I do not want when autumn arrives, the cluster of flowers there make the garden dirty. Finish Ruth's absence"

Still in confusion, Ruth tried to stare fixedly at Anastasia. Trying to figure out what her mistress was thinking but, Ruth found nothing there, on Anastasia's gentle face and gentle smile. Ruth immediately nodded her head obediently.

"Okay, Your Highness"

After Ruth walked out the door, Anastasia sat back in her chair to enjoy her favorite books. Books, was something that could now cool his heart and mind.

Hours began in Anastasia who continued to dissolve in her reading until the sound of someone shouting from the outside, making the alphabets that Anastasia was enjoying stopped. Anastasia put her book on the table, then began to straighten her feet towards the window, as long as the screaming voice she heard earlier.

With a flat-faced look, Anastasia stared fixedly at the garden, the source where the commotion occurred.

The direction of view captures what and who caused the commotion there, Elsa. The girl who was definitely younger than Summer kept shouting at some guards and servants who were doing their orders. The corners of Anastasia's lips twitched as they completely 'flatten' all the flowers there. They completely tore apart the still beautiful flowers there sadistically even, he saw Carl who had already pulled out his sword to slash through all the beautiful-looking colors floating in the air, he saw, then it ends up on the ground.

In silence Anastasia kept staring from her window, herself enjoying every destruction of beauty there. It seems, somehow the destruction there gives a sense of relief, satisfaction, and of course a sense of happiness. Tapping her gracefully linked finger in front of her stomach, Anastasia slightly flinched as Carl suddenly turned his head and raised his gaze at Anastasia, who was looking at her, then quickly a short bow while back leveling up to the roots of the poor flower garden there.

--000--

Today, Ferdinand came back to inspect the knight camp. He still tried to focus on training and taking care of the knights there, although at this time his mind continued to focus on the castle.

Things like this have continued to happen since the quarrel between him and Anastasia. There was a lot of unease Ferdinand was thinking about. Like Kenna could be injured in the castle, or when she came home, it could be Francesca or even her mother suddenly there while carrying the head of Kenna who was separated from her body.

That thought always made Ferdinand quiver, all those cruel thoughts could have happened, not without reason Ferdinand could have thought like that because he knew so clearly, The first princess of Castalarox was especially the Queen of Castalarox who would not hesitate or would not half-way to precipitate something they considered filth. Moreover, the presence of Kenna in the castle that has exceeded the word challenging for him to flutter on the palace's honor.

It was not that Ferdinand was unaware of what he was doing, not that Ferdinand did not know what repercussions he could have but, if he did not bring Kenna and take care of her up close, Kenna will be wiped out. Sooner or later his father will definitely kiss everything and... The cruel king would definitely not like it if there were insects that damaged the beauty of his throne. Because of that, after he was finally able to find Kenna and for days hiding them, Ferdinand immediately took the decision to put Kenna nearby, in his home, in the Chasembord castle.

But, there was one thing that was far beyond Ferdinand's calculations, Anastasia. Anastasia's change instantly turned one hundred and eighty degrees during these two days on him.

Cold, indifferent, flat, and evasive were always the feelings Ferdinand received from Anastasia. Ferdinand took a deep breath. Alright... Anastasia was angry with him, and she was sure that it was not too hot anymore, when Anastasia's anger subsided, he will speak from heart to heart and will plead for Anastasia to accept Kenna's presence, including her son and Kenna later.

Because to be honest, Ferdinand could not let go of Anastasia, he cared about Anastasia, he was already very fond and comfortable with his wife. Therefore, later when things started to cool down, he would beg for forgiveness and beg Anastasia to trust him again.

"Your Highness"

A knight with breathless breath came into the lounge at the camp, which brought Ferdinand and his daydream to a halt

"Why?"

While adjusting his breath, the knight opened his voice in a huff

"Solar's Knight says that His Grace Monalisa, Lady Charlotte, and Lord Michael came to Castle, Your Highness"

Ferdinand's forehead frowned. Why did the residents of Castle Albany come to the castle? Ferdinand almost immediately moved out of his chair but he immediately remembered that his work had not been completed.

The contents of Ferdinand's head were spinning, rethinking, whether he should return or not but, Duchess Monalisa and Lady Charlotte were not the women who would be on the 'danger' list in his mind right now. Finally, Ferdinand let out a long breath

"Where's solar?"

"Together the knight Keelf was checking all the equipment, Your Highness"

"alright. Come outside"

Politely, the knight lowered his head and left immediately.

Ferdinand also immediately returned to complete all the agendas and weapons records that he had to repair or update. There was no time to think of anything else, and just as he had thought, Arthur's wife and his aunty were not dangerous women who could hurt others

---000---

Monalisa, Charlotte, and Michael immediately stepped towards the entrance when their feet had already stepped on the ground of the Chasembord castle courtyard. The guards who saw immediately approached and immediately bowed politely to them

"Good afternoon Your Grace Monalisa, Lord Michael and Lady Charlotte"

Monalisa nodded her head briefly while circulating her direction of view. Look at all the shapes around the castle that do not change as much.

"Please Your Grace, My Lord, and My Lady"

The bodyguards who had already invited them, made Monalisa take a step first.

When they had entered, several servants ran over to them, including Stephen who spurred his old legs quickly upon hearing the sudden arrival of the important guests.

"Good day Your Grance, My Lord, and My Lady"

Monalisa smiled amiably while nodding

"Stef, find us the best room. Serve tea now"

"Where should we put tea, Your Grace?"

Monalisa glanced at Charlotte for a moment, Charlotte flashing her shoulders indifferently as she stepped towards the living room. Monalisa looked back at Stephen

"According to Lady Charlotte's request, Stef"

Stephen who immediately understood immediately nodded in understanding

"Good Your Grace. In that case, we immediately prepared everything and-" Stephen searched and raised his gaze to look at the three guests. "Welcome to Chasembord"

Michael chuckled as he patted Stephen's old shoulder, his face closing in on Stephen for a whisper

"I saw a relief in your face Stef"

Stephen could only smile. True if he is quite relieved because the people who come are not 'dangerous' like the message of his master. And also, in fact he was still a little traumatized when he heard that there were guests coming from far away. Could it be if the crazy master brought another mistress to their place?

In a fit of agitation, Anastasia continued to step up to head to the castle door. The news from Ruth if there are guests who come to make a smile and his lips rise, especially because of who the guests who come

"Good day"

Anastasia spoke softly to the three people who were still standing while tidying up their little dresses.

"Ohh.. hello dear"

Lottie immediately came forward to receive Anastasia's warm welcome

"Hello Ana"

"Hello aunty Mona"

Politely Anastasia immediately gave a short nod. Until Michael also came forward while thrusting his hand that held up. Anastasia was quite confused by Michael's movements, then glanced at his aunties who seemed unwilling to see?

After a few seconds of thought, Anastasia finally thought if it was impossible for her to refuse Michael's polite greetings. With a sombre smile, Anastasia immediately gave her hand that was directly in Michael's kiss.

"Hello Your Highness"

"Halo Marquess Michael" After Anastasia's hand was released from Michael, Anastasia's gaze alternated with the King's and Queen's three brothers. "Please sit aunty and Marquess"

They immediately took their own sitting positions, and soon the servants who had pushed trolly began to serve tea and snacks on the living room table.

"How are you doing Ana?"

Monalisa asked while lifting her cup.

"Good aunty. Aunty, how are you?"

"As you can see Ana, the happiness of the household makes us happy"

While saying Monalisa glanced at Anastasia who could only smile merrily. Charlotte who realized it immediately got up from her seat and immediately took a spot next to Anastasia, her warm hand rubbing softly on Anastasia's back.

"Actually we'd like to stay here a few days? How's Ana?"

"Of course aunty. You can stay as long as you want. This is your house too"

"Ohh, you're so nice Ana"

And their conversation continues. They began to open ordinary and casual conversations, occasionally the sound of graceful curses or polite gestures of laughter filled the living room until, two people entered and surprisedly looked at all of them.

Monalisa who first saw the two people raise one eyebrow, Charlotte who was chewing on biscuits smiled gracefully while looking at them fixedly, while Michael looked indifferent while sipping his tea

"Who are they?"

The question that came out of Charlotte's mouth made Anastasia immediately follow Charlotte's line of sight. Anastasia looked at Kenna and Elsa for a moment, then sipped her tea without answering

Anastasia's stubbornness allowed Monalisa and Charlotte to conclude right away, if this is the woman they've been talking about for a few days in a bad way

"Is this the new waiter?"

Monalisa's voice sounded while smiling kindly. Charlotte chuckled gracefully and made a sound, answering Monalisa's words

"It seems so Mon" Then looked at Kenna intently. "Yes, right?"

Questions or statements from Charlotte make Kenna smile wryly while holding firmly Elsa's hand. He sent a message that Elsa would not open her mouth, for she would open her mouth

"Sorry madam, but we're not servants because we're 'guests' of His Highness"

All the ears that could hear Kenna's words could realize that. Emphasis and also rejection are scented with offence in every tone and gaze of Kenna. His clear gaze dared to stare with a judgmental look at the two graceful women before him whom Kenna did not know

Charlotte and Mona glanced at each other, then both glanced at Anastasia who had started a conversation with Michael, as if the two people who were still in front of the door were just wind blowing

"Guests? Then...who are you guests of His Highness?"

By returning the friendly smile of the two women in front of him with a smile no less friendly, Kenna opened her mouth again.

"I'm Lady Kenna and this is my sister Lady Elsa"

Michael nearly spouted the tea that had just flowed down his throat upon hearing Kenna's words. Anastasia's new hand would grab the biscuits on the plate stalled and floated in the air. Monalisa and Charlotte held a twitch at the corner of their lips.

Ooh... Oh my... What joke is this? Which is true.... and what did he say just now, 'Lady'????

Gracefully Charlotte reassembled her friendly face while refraining from laughing as Monalisa, who was sitting on the sofa in front of her, deliberately nudged her legs.

"Bad.. Lady Kenna and Lady Elsa turned out, where are you from?"

Confidently, Kenna answered straightforwardly

"Mother of the city"

And for the second time, the corners of the lips of the two graceful women twitched strongly. Michael almost choked on the biscuits in his mouth, while Anastasia just kept quiet and continued chewing the biscuits in his mouth which had stopped because of Kenna's answer.

"Lady Kenna" Monalisa finally spoke, she glanced at Charlotte for a moment, then spoke again. "The city has many nobles. You do not need to mention the location of your house, because you only just mention your family name or family title. With that in mind, we certainly know where your home is or even your family history, Lady Kenna"

Explanation with a soft tone and the look of Monalisa's friendly face in fact does not provide good for Kenna. Kenna was not so foolish as not to know that she was now being gently tossed in the trash from Monalisa, especially from Anastasia who from the beginning did not even try to explain who Kenna was
