The Prince's Beloved Servant

The Prince's Beloved Servant
Andez Enter the Palace



As a crown princess, the life Hilda lived was very different from what she had been living in her family residence. Attending a party is an obligation. As on this day, he attended a feast held by the queen for the palace dwellers, one of whom was himself.


At the party venue, the crown prince chose to gather with his fellow princes as well as the sons of officials and nobles. Not sure what they were discussing, Hilda didn't know much about their world. He also had to try to mingle with other noble women who had rarely met before. He was like a stranger there despite being a princess. No wonder she feels lonely every day. Only Heiji made her feel at home.


It seemed that his presence there was lacking in welcome. Of the many noble women present, none of them would greet or invite Hilda to sit with them. Even the gaze given to him seemed to imply dislike. Perhaps they are still upset about not being chosen as a companion to the king. Behind the bliss of being the crown princess, she prepares to be hated by her rivals.


Hilda glanced towards the Crown Prince. The man stood out among the others. Some female elves also seemed to swarm her with twinkling eyes full of admiration. His handsome face became a magnet for every woman to fall in love with him, the most handsome man from the land of the elves. It seemed like the status of marriage did not sway them to tease people's husbands.


If they knew how cold her attitude was, Hilda was sure the women would not be willing to take her position.


Feeling bored, Hilda turned to the suburban area near the lake area behind the palace. Two peacocks that were chatting attracted his attention. He followed where the bird was walking. Arriving at a beautiful lake, the two peacocks stopped for a drink.


The scenery he was witnessing right now was so beautiful as if he was in a dreamland. Just this time he saw the beauty of the other side of the palace.


"Don't go near them!"


Hilda jumped in shock at the sound of a voice as she was about to step closer to the two peacocks. As he turned around, there was a man sitting leaning against a tree. He was wearing a warrior-style outfit, but the color was different from what the palace guards used to wear. Usually the palace guards wore white clothes, but the man wore black clothes.


'Is he also the personal bodyguard of a crown prince like Ezra?' ask in the heart. The man's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Ezra, the bodyguard who always appeared different from the others.


"They're married, don't bother them" said the man.


Hilda walked backwards away from the two peacocks. Peacock is his favorite animal, so he was very amazed when he could see the peacock directly in the palace environment of the King's residence.


"Do you know the difference between a male and a female peacock?" the man got up from his seat walking closer to Hilda.


The language that the man used was as relaxing as talking to a friend. Hilda was astonished herself to want to know who that man was. Normally the bodyguard would submit to him, but he behaved like a son of nobility. Though the aura of the elves was not possessed by him.


He invited Hilda to look back at the two peacocks drinking by the river. One of them develops the tail so that it displays a beautiful tail shape like a fan. Hilda was amazed to see the sight she had just seen for the first time.


"The peacock whose tail is beautifully inflated must be a female peacock. While the other is a peacock man." guess Hilda.


"You're wrong."


Hilda looked at the man. Their eyes meet.


"The ones whose fur is beautiful and can expand like a fan are the male peacock, not the female."


Hilda looked again at the peacock. It still doesn't feel right because the guess is wrong.


"Male brands have beautiful fur has a function to attract the attention of the opposite sex. While the color of the feathers on the female peacock tends to be more dull."


"Just like a deer, between a male and a female also have differences."


"Male deer have horns while female deer do not have horns. The male horn is usually short and consists of three branches. If it breaks, the horn can grow back."


Hilda was amazed to hear an explanation from him. "It looks like you're an animal expert."


The man chuckled, "My hobby is hunting, so know a little about them. I also spent my time living in the forest."


"By the way, why is a beautiful woman like you here? Shouldn't you join the others at the party?"


"I .... "


"Princess Hilda!" call one of the servants who used to serve him.


The man widened his eyes in surprise. He immediately knelt before Hilda. "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, please forgive me!" said it.


Hilda laughed a little. Since then he thought the man was the son of a noble who was pretentious towards him. She may not recognize herself as the crown princess.


"What's your name?" ask Hilda.


"Andez, Princess," he said.


"Where are you on duty?"


"I'm assigned to look after Prince Evander, Princess." Andez was upset with herself. He could have spoken presumptuously to a crown princess.


Just yesterday he passed the selection as a prospective royal guard. He was chosen to be the bodyguard of Prince Ivander, the crown prince's cousin. She did know the news of the wedding about the crown prince and Princess Hilda, but had never known what the face of Princess Hilda was like.


"Mr Princess, please forgive my presumptuousness that has been disrespectful towards the Princess. I really don't know if you are the Crown Princess."


Andez is really sorry. He was very afraid that his fatal mistake this time would make himself dropped from the selection. If he failed to enter the palace, then his plans would be hampered. He had to study the cases of his family in the palace archives. He believes his family is just a victim of slander. Where maybe his family is planning to carry out a coup to get rid of the rightful ruler.


"You did it because you didn't know. I forgave you. Stand up," pinta Hilda.


As Andez had heard from the people, Hilda was a kind-hearted princess. Today he proved it himself. The beautiful elf did not want to discuss about her mistake at all.


"Thank you for the Princess' generosity" Andez said.


"Mr Princess, the meal time has come. You must go there immediately," said the palace attendant.


"Yes, Sillu. We're going there now!" Hilda walked over to her servant. As he passed by Andez, he smiled.


Andez breathed a sigh of relief. At least today he escaped to make a mistake in the palace. "Where about Yuri?" ask him to yourself.


Yuri also escaped being a palace maid. Meanwhile, Zenzen fails to become a soldier while enlisting with him. Zenzen decided to continue the business of the tavern they pioneered. While keeping the residence for any time they want to return.
