Prince Lucius Willian has arrived at the palace. The journey was quite long and tiring but in the end he arrived at the kingdom of Kent Arsia. King Leon Herbert and the queen were waiting to welcome him. Princess Arabella and Ernest stood at the back, they were about to come forward when their father called out to him.
Lucius came down from on horseback, as did his trusted bodyguard. They stepped closer to King Leon and Queen Hana who were already waiting for their arrival.
"Welcome to the palace of Kent Arsia, Prince," King Leon said.
"Thank you for this great welcome King Leon. Surely there is no need to greet me so festively so accept the little gift I brought you."
"I'm very grateful, introduce my two daughters," the king introduced his two daughters who were approaching.
"Greetings, Prince. I am Arabella, the eldest daughter of His Majesty the king and Queen," Arabella bowed slightly to pay her respects.
Ernest bowed, but he did not say hello. He was afraid that the prince would recognize his voice and reveal his secret.
"This is my brother, Ernest. Sorry if he didn't say hello, Ernest is not well" Arabella said quickly. Do not let the prince angry because of Ernest's attitude that is like unpleasant.
"Please forgive me if my daughter's demeanor is not pleasing, come with me" King Leon said.
The prince did not take his eyes off Ernest who was looking down. So that princess is the useless loser? So she's a witch rumored by many? Too bad, though beautiful, but she's still a useless loser.
Lucius stepped away along with King Leon and Queen Hana, Arabella turned and looked towards her younger brother who was still lowered because she was worried that the prince recognized her.
"What's wrong with you, Ernest? Are you sick?" ask Arabella.
"No, Brother. I'm fine."
"If so, don't repeat it again. What if Prince Lucius gets angry? Don't put father and mother to shame."
"I'm sorry" said Ernest.
"It's okay, but next time don't repeat. We have to keep both our parents' good names."
Alena nodded, Arabella rubbed her sister's slightly pale-looking face. Why does Ernest seem so unwell?
"Are you okay, Ernest?" ask Arabella.
"I'm fine, Brother. We'd better catch up with Ayahanda and Mommy."
"You sure? Your face looks pale."
"I'm fine, really."
"All right, let's catch up. Don't let us offend the prince."
Arabella grabs her sister's hand and invites her to follow their parents. King Leon was chatting with prince Lucius in front of a painting, the queen stood by the king and spoke occasionally.
Arabella and Ernest stepped closer, Arabella smiling sweetly as prince Lucius looked towards her. Ernest still looked down, he looked mysterious and closed. Somehow Lucius felt familiar but who? What are his feelings? Arabella who had been trying to attract the attention of the prince looked at the gaze of the prince Lucius, Alena who was playing the role of Ernest pretended to be afraid and hid behind her brother.
"Hm, Dapper!" king Leon cleared his throat.
Lucius turned, looking at the king and queen who were waiting for his answer. He's not feeling too good, don't tell me if Princess Ernest is really a witch who's starting to influence her.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King and Queen" Lucius said.
"It's okay, please come with us. The Prince has traveled so far, you should rest first," the king invited the Prince to his place to rest,
The prince and his followers followed the king and queen, daughter Arabella and Ernest were asked to return to their rooms. Arabella who had fallen in love with the prince for a long time, getting drunk kepayang after seeing the good looks and prowess of the prince that he had always heard all this time. He had met Prince Lucius before, but at that time, the prince was not as handsome and valiant as he is today.
"Did you see it, Ernest? He's really dashing and handsome!" said Princess Arabella who was in her sister's room at the time.
"Down your voice, brother. What if someone hears?"
"I can't stand it, he's really my dream man" Arabella sat by his sister's side sitting on the bed.
"What do you think, Ernest? Did Prince Lucius show any interest in me just now?" ask Arabella.
"I don't know, Brother. I was afraid to see it," Alena replied pretending.
"I was just scared because she looked scary" Alena was still lying, she was not afraid but she was worried that Lucius William recognized her.
"Alright, but you don't have to be afraid like that. You can be a sneer if you show fear so don't do it again. Youunderstand?"
"Good, Brother. Then how, it looks like you really fell in love with her," seduced Alena.
"Is it so visible?" arabella's face flushed red because she was embarrassed.
"The prince is so handsome, brother. She is very suitable to be a big sister's companion. I pray that brother is making a fool of him."
"Huss, don't talk like that. What if he already has a lover or a future wife? Don't let me bear the shame for this."
"If so, you better find out about this and try to approach it. Maybe he's a match with Arabella's sister."
"You're right, I've loved it for a long time. Now that he's here, I should try to get close to him to get his attention."
"Effort, brother. You are beautiful and you are a princess. So trust yourself if you can get his attention."
"Thank you, Ernest. You'd better get some rest because soon, a banquet to welcome the arrival of the prince will be held soon. I also want to rest for a while and improve my appearance."
"Dress beautiful, may you succeed at the banquet."
"Thank you" said Arabella. Alena smiled, as her sister rubbed her arm. Arabella moved, it was time for her to return to the room to repair the makeup because the banquet would soon be held. Alena dropped off for a while and after her sister left, the door to her room was tightly shut.
"How are you, Princess? Are you all right?" ask Amy and Agnes.
"I just feel a little tired," Alena lay down, a truly terrible poison.
"How is this, Princess? Will the prince recognize the princess?" ask Amy.
"What do you mean?" ask Agnes who knows nothing.
"We met the prince while on the road when we were intercepted by robbers and did you know?" Amy was visibly excited, "Mr daughter fought the robbers bravely" he said.
"really?" Agnes seemed to be in disbelief.
"Why am I lying? The Princess played the sword agilely against the robbers but luckily the prince came when the Princess was overwhelmed" explained Agnes.
"What happened to you, Princess. Ever since that horrible night, you've really changed, but I'm so glad you've been able to fight back" Agnes said.
"Yes, Princess. Now you're a lot different than you used to be. I'm glad you have the ability to fight back" Amy said.
"You don't have to worry about me anymore because the weak Ernest is no more. Trust me, we can uncover the crime together."
"I will remain loyal to you, Princess," said the two servants.
"Thank you, I'm so glad you were with me when I didn't know which friend and which opponent to fight because you could, the whole palace was my enemy."
"We'll always be loyal to you but princess, there's actually a hit man who was going to kill you last night" Agnes said.
"What's? Did you hurt Agnes?"
"No, I'm fine. I'm just worried about the Princess."
"The enemy really wants my death but we must not be afraid and I hope you are not weak like this anymore!"
"What is the Princess?"
"Find a safe place, I'll train you in martial arts so you can fight if there's a killer or whatever it is."
"But princess?"
"Don't argue!" alena's orders. Both servants should be able to fight, at least they should be able to swing a sword when there is an enemy.
Agnes and Amy looked at each other. Was the one with them at this moment really Ernest's daughter? I don't know why they were suspicious, don't tell me who is with them right now isn't the princess because they've seen with their own eyes if the princess is dead that night but is it true who was with them when this isn't Princess Ernest? If not, then who is with them? I don't know why they were so suspicious.
