The Prince's Beloved Servant

Eluigwe village

The holiday finally arrived. Yuri was still busy packing her belongings to take home. His gaze was fixed on the beautiful clothes he had gotten from Ezra. He did not even dare to wear it there so good. If anyone sees, he may be accused of being a thief. He also hid the hairpin that Hilda had gifted him in the bottom pile.

Remi was beside him doing the same. He packed more food that he would bring on the trip. If there is any leftover, he will give it to the family. The woman's face looked cheerful before her return.

"Remi, palace ... is it far from where we are?" ask Yuri. He was eager to see the palace of the elves.

Remi stopped his activities for a moment. "Stana? I don't think it's too far. It may take about 3 days to travel by horse-drawn carriage. It's pretty close to the mountains in the western region." Remi ties the ends of the rectangular-shaped fabric so that it can wrap the luggage tightly.

"Have you finished? If so, let's head to the mansion to take our pay."

Yuri follows the way Remi packs her things. He took possession of his belongings and prepared his farewell to the Asterian family.

In addition to Yuri and Remi, there are several other workers who also use their vacation rations to return home. They queue up to see Mrs Catlin who is in charge of distributing their income during work. Beside Madam Catlin, there was an Asteria who seemed to be looking for Yuri. Seen from the look of his eyes that had focused on Yuri.

'Relax, Yuri. You will be home soon. I will help you find a way to not have to work in this place again, Yuri said in her heart.

One by one workers get a bag of coins as wages during their work. The shape of the currency used as a medium of exchange is made of copper which is made in a circular shape and given a hole in the middle.

Finally, it was Yuri's turn to receive her wages. There was something strange about the pockets he received. It felt like his pocket was smaller and lighter than the other workers received.

"Why?" asteria asked with a soft tone and a grinning smile at him. "Because while working here you always make trouble, the salary I give is only half. It's still better than not giving you at all. Get out of here!" expel Asteria.

Yuri did not want to prolong the problem. He accepts what is his ration. Deposits from his income first as long as he does not go home are also quite a lot. He left the residence of the Jansen nobility with a casual feeling.

"Miss Asteria is outrageous. He shouldn't have done it like that" Remi grumbled. As a friend, he was upset and wanted to curse.

"It's okay, it's okay" Yuri said, calming Remi down.

The two rode on a horse-drawn carriage that would take them back to their respective villages. There were two other people who were also on the train with them. The direction of their return is the same, it's just different villages. Yuri who lives the farthest away from where she lives. The cost of hiring a horse carriage is quite expensive, but it is comparable to the distance they have to travel.

Along the way, Yuri continued to look outwards through the window hole on the side of her seat. As he had imagined, all the way there were only trees in the forest. Do not expect to see hotels or restaurants there. Not meeting a savage beast alone seemed to have been lucky.

When night fell, they built their own camp in the woods to rest and sleep. Train drivers should know safe and dangerous areas throughout the journey. If one determines the location of the break, they could be targeted by robbers.

After a long journey, Yuri finally arrived in front of the monument that read Eluigwe Village. He got off the train while giving wages to the train drivers.

Yuri's gaze stared straight ahead at the path she was about to take. From the beginning of the village already appeared some houses are located quite far apart. Simple houses belonging to residents almost have a similar shape. The shape is made circular with a towering roof like a mountain made of dry grass.

Yuri was wearing the head covering of her robe. He began to walk down the village road to a house that even he himself did not know.

"I didn't think the world in a novel could be this big. It's like coming into a movie and feeling it firsthand" he murmured.

After a long walk, he finally arrived in the middle of the countryside where there are more houses and the distance is not too far. He found some children playing in the yard.

"Hi, Son! Can I ask for help?" Yuri tried to approach the three cute little elves.

The three children stared at Yuri with astonished gazes. They see each other.

"Who are you? Are you an ogre?" accuse one of them.

"It looks like he's Ogre! His face is so ugly!" the other child whose body is the highest. He was called ugly by little children. Even if it's really ugly.

"Ogres! Go you!" the other boy beat Yuri up for thinking he was Ogre. The two children who had followed closely beat Yuri.

"Ogres! Go ye! You ugly Ogre! I love eating elves!"

"Ouch!" pekik Yuri felt the punches of the children. "I'm an elf like you! Look at this, my ears are the same!" Yuri brushed her hair so that her ears would be visible. After seeing the shape of those ears, they immediately stopped hitting.

"Are you Yuri?" a voice from one of the houses. A female elf came out from inside the house and walked closer towards Yuri. He watched Yuri's body from top to baeah while smiling like a mocking person. You finally dare to go home. I thought you'd stay forever in the House of Jansen and forsake your father."

Yuri had no idea what the person was saying. From the way he spoke, it seemed like that person hated Yuri. 'Yuri, are you also an enemy of the people in the village' Yurika asked inwardly.

"Kids, take him to Mr. Grafin's house. Maybe too long gone he's forgotten his house."

"Grafish sir that bad drink seller?" ask one of the kids.

"Right, get him to her!" the woman's orders.

"Alright, come!" The children vigorously walked over to deliver Yuri to the destination.

Yuri was stunned. I'm sure something's wrong with there. But follow where the kids are going.
