The eyes of the prince could not be separated from the figure of the servant who was busy serving the guests at the party. Although many women were clustered, the prince was not interested in him at all. He preferred to look at Yuri who was finally able to enter the palace. The part of his heart was so swollen that he wanted to prance if he did not remember that he was a crown prince.
Even the chatter with the princes who were nearby he did not listen well. His eyes continued to move in the direction of the woman's movements. He wanted to come and embrace her. However, that woman would definitely be very angry. The only woman who dares to refuse his love is Yuri. She was also the only woman who could attract her attention.
"Crown Prince?"
The call from Prince Evander disperse the Crown Prince's reverie. "What's up, Evander?" tanyakanya.
"Since you saw what?" Evander directed a glance at the side that the prince might be glancing at.
"Mungkin Putra Mahkota sedang mencari istri cantiknya," goda Ebes, salah seorang putra bangsawan di istana.
"Having a wife like Princess Hilda does make all men jealous" Evander murmured.
Prince Adrian just smiled. He doesn't even remember having a wife. His heart was filled with the shadow of Yuri.
"Isn't the banquet about to begin? How about we join Her Majesty the Queen's desk, too" Evander asked.
They immediately moved to a banquet place in the form of an elongated dining area for the family near the king. The prince sat next to Hilda who had already been there.
"Are you enjoying the show?" ask the prince to Princess Hilda. They also talk a little. However, whenever there was a chance the prince would invite him to speak even if it was just a word or two.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I really enjoyed the show." Hilda developed a fake smile. She wanted to cry because no one wanted to make her friends. All the women seemed to hate him for successfully becoming the prince's wife. He only pretended to be strong in front of the prince and all the inhabitants of the kingdom. If he looked weak, they would only oppress him even more.

"Well! So tired!" Yuri directly leaned her back on the tree trunk near the lake. He knew Andez was waiting for him.
"Well! You think it's easy being a waiter? I just got some time off. It's delicious, so personal bodyguard. A lot of leisure," Yuri grumbled. Since morning he has been in the kitchen and served the guests. I think he just fainted. Working in the palace was more exhausting than working in his own tavern.
"Although relaxed, the stakes are life. This is the prince I served at the party. I'll be back on duty when he gets back."
Both of them were silent for a moment enjoying the sweet sound of birds chirping. Finally their dream of entering the palace materialized as well.
"What are your feelings now? Are you happy?" andez asked blankly towards the sky.
"Eitherway! I don't know if I'm happy or sad" Yuri replied.
He likes to enter the palace because it means his goal to go home will be closer. However, he also felt that the palace was actually not his goal. His life was more pleasant outside the palace. Meanwhile, if he chooses comfort, then he will not achieve his bigger dream.
"What about you?" Yuri turned the question around.
"alike you. I don't know what to do here either." Andez feels even more stupid. He was given the gift of a good life by his parents, but he chose to return to the place where his family was slaughtered. If he fails to prove the truth of his family, he will die there.
"Are we going to meet often? I'm still a stranger to this place" murmured Yuri.
"Aoa you're sorry? How about we run away from here?" andez Proposal.
"Are you crazy? You want to die? We'll be accused of playing with the selection process, fool!"
"All of a sudden I miss fighting with Zenzen."
"Hahaha. Though this was only the first day but it was already this heavy living in the palace as an ordinary elf."
