The Neglected Princess

31. Letterbox

Olivia was tired and tired of studying. He lay down, then rolled around in his bed to drive away the boredom that struck.

"Ahhh .. bored. How many hours have I been in my room. Why did the Crown Prince suddenly come. Because of him, I can't get out of the gasil. Huuhh, sucks. Though I want to go out for a walk," muttered Olivia grumbling.

Olivia is sad, she has no friends because Emma is going to the market to buy paint. The head of the kitchen asked Emma directly for shopping because the supplies in the kitchen were running low. Paints will not be made on that day, if you wait for the delivery of materials from the subscriber.

The relaxed Olivia gazing at the ceiling of the room bothered her future. He imagined the building of the Hotel stood firm and looked beautiful from a distance. Olivia's smile expands, she can't wait for the day the hotel building is completed.

Suddenly Emma knocked on the door and entered the room in a hurry.

"Miss .." cried Emma over to Olivia lying in bed.

Olivia was surprised, "Emma .. "call her.

"Miss, Miss, get up!" exclaim Emma.

Olivia looked at Emma, "What's wrong? I'm lazy to get up" replied Olivia.

"You must be surprised by what the same brings," Emma said.

"What did I bring? did you buy me sugar candy?" Ask Olivia.

"There's more to it than sugar candy. You don't want to know?" ask Emma.

"Emma, you're curious. What exactly did you bring?" ask Olovia. Still in the sleeping position.

Emma takes out a light blue envelope from under her cloak and gives it to Olivia.

"This is a letter from someone you saved back then. My friend gave it to me because it was a letter addressed to you. My friend also said, if you should reply to his letter. That's what the letter writer says." Emma said it explained.

Olivia stared at the letter Emma was carrying and immediately got up from her lying position. Emma gives and is accepted by Olivia.

"The one I saved? what is that young man, you mean?" ask Olivia.

"Yes, Miss. My friend also said, if the young man sometimes looks in the market like looking for something. There are times when you stop by to buy fruit and ask. Take it easy, my friend will not divulge secrets about who you are. I'd beat him up, if he dared to say anything recklessly," Emma explained.

"Yes, okay. You can go and do your job, Emma. I'll read this letter and call you if I need anything" Olivia said.

"Yes, Miss. I'm helping the head of the kitchen make your favorite cookies first. Later if it's so I'll bring it to you," said Emm. Yabg immediately left Olivia.

Olivia stared at the envelope, "No stamp or mark whatsoever," murmured Olivia.

He opened the envelope and took out a letter, then read it.

A few moments after reading the letter. Olivia immediately went to her study desk and pulled out the paper from the desk drawer. He then wrote a reply to Ron, the sender of the letter.

The contents of Olivia's letter contain a rejection of the gift that Ron will give. Olivia also refuses to meet for busy reasons. In the letter, Olivia asserted, if Olivia only helped because Ron was in front of her, if it was someone else, then Olivia would still help. So, Olivia asks Ron not to remember what he has done. After all, Olivia also left immediately after treating Ron. And the rest of the fruit sellers take care of.

Olivia stared at the letter she wrote, "Is this enough? I guess it's obvious what I mean, right? if this young man is intelligent, he can definitely grasp the meaning of my writing. I'm not arrogant or disrespectful of good intentions, but I don't want any relationship with strangers, especially men. Issac and Deon, I did approach them intentionally for a purpose. I also keep my distance. Ron, I don't know who he is. He's not even a character in a novel. So, I don't need to involve him. I can't just accept friendship or anything like that, maybe I'm stuck in the same situation as the original content in the novel. Yes, although I'm not the same as Olivia Hubbert, but I am now her." Olivia's inner self.

Meanwhile. In the office of His Majesty. The adjutant was telling a daily schedule and telling what the Crown Prince's aide had heard, if the Crown Prince was to return to the academy and study formally.

Hearing the news, His Majesty seemed shocked. He had not expected his stubborn son to not want to come to the academy by himself to go to the academy and study.

"Are you sure? you may have misheard," said His Majesty staring at his Adjutant.

"I am very sure, Sire. I spoke directly with his aide" replied the Adjutant.

His Majesty frowned, "What's the matter, huh? he who was outspoken and unwilling to study at the academy suddenly changed his mind. Is he bored? I had to meet him personally to know what was going on," Inner Emperor.

"Yes, already. If it's the Crown Prince's will, then I can't do anything. The new teaching will start in a few months, won't it? until that time comes, make sure all the Crown Prince's work goes smoothly" His Majesty said.

"Okay, Sire." replied the Adjutant.

The Emperor asked the Adjutant to arrange his schedule to meet the Crown Prince in person. The adjutant nodded his head, reciting the words of His Majesty the Emperor.

Her night. After dinner. Arron had just finished taking a shower and was about to change clothes. Suddenly the door to Arron's room was knocked from the outside.

Arron frowned, "What the butler didn't hear me say. I don't want to be disturbed by anyone tonight. Who's coming?" inner Arron.

Arron opened the door. He was surprised to see his father coming to see him in his room.

"Ba-baginda," murmured Arron.

"Can I come in, Ron?" ask the Emperor.

"Yes, please." replied Arron.

The Emperor entered Arron's room. Arron looked out of the room and found no one. He closed the door and followed his father.

"Am I bothering you?" Ask the Emperor.

"No, Sire. Please speak," replied Arron.

"We're just the two of us. Just talk relaxed. Oh, ja. I heard something interesting from the adjutant this afternoon. Do you really want to study in the academy?" asked His Majesty the Emperor to look at Arron.

"Yes, I will be entering the academy in the new school year. All this time I was a shadow student who never attended classes or even school events. Because I felt I needed to socialize with my peers, I decided to be active in the academy. Is there a problem, Dad?" ask Arron.

"none. I just want to make sure what I hear. You who used to be just busy thinking about training, suddenly changed your mind. Mind me. Although I know, your reasons are not just what you say, but I'm glad you think so. Do what you want. Who knows you met your partner at the academy. You go first, istirshatlah." Said His Majesty the Emperor who immediately left.

Arron was shocked to hear his father's words. To the extent that he could not answer anything. Brow wrinkled. He stared at his father's departure until he disappeared behind the door.
