After capturing the assassin who nearly killed Agnes, Alena decides to return to her room. It was very unwise to return to the banquet hall because people could suspect him. This time he really took advantage of Ernest's weakness, he had his reasons when the queen mother asked him why he left the banquet.
The guard of the prince Lucius had already returned, he could not tell what he had seen to the Prince at that place. A gesture he gave to the prince if he would wait in the room. Prince Lucius who could not leave the banquet only gave a gesture to his personal bodyguard. Although curious but he had to endure it.
"What about this banquet, Prince? I hope you're happy" said Princess Arabella.
"Of course I'm happy, princess Arabella. I'll welcome you when you come to my palace."
"Well, are you going to invite me to your palace?"
"So, I'll send an invitation to the king."
"I'm very flattered, Prince. I can't wait for it" Arabella smiled sweetly, she was really impatient because that way she and prince Lucius would get closer.
For him the man was perfect, Lucius William was the first prince of Kenneth's kingdom and soon he would be crowned crown prince. He was the ideal prince for many princesses from the kingdom and from the nobility. His lunge that had won a battle made him respected so many kingdoms that are with him.
Arabella considers if the suitable companion to be prince Lucius only. She is the future queen candidate of Kent Arsia therefore, when the two of them unite, they will both be a compatible couple and they will both lead two great empires.
The shadow is already in his head, so he must realize what is in the shadow in order to be real.
A festive banquet, no one was aware of Ernest's whereabouts. They enjoyed the festive banquet especially when Lucius delivered the invitation he gave to the kingdom of Kent Arsia in order to attend the party to be held in his palace.
The sound of music grew louder, all rejoicing but the queen mother began to realize that princess Ernest was not at the banquet. The queen looked at the place carefully but princess Ernest really did not exist.
"Baginda, I don't see Ernest" the queen mother told her husband.
"really? Was he not with us from then on?"
"What's up, Mommy?" ask Arabella.
"Your sister is nowhere to be seen. You better see it in the room."
"Let me, Mother. Maybe Ernest isn't feeling well."
"Alright, come back again after you've ascertained the circumstances" the queen mother asked.
Arabella nodded and moved, the two servants following her to Ernest's room. The prince who had been very curious was also so curious why Ernest did not return to the banquet. Did something happen to that loser? Really he was very curious and hoped that the banquet that was starting to get boring was coming to an end.
Alena who had returned to the room did nothing. He deliberately lay down so that when anyone entered his room, no one was suspicious of his circumstances. Today he did want to rest let alone the poison that he had consumed still made his head dizzy.
"What about the maid we've got, Princess?" ask Amy.
"Stss.today we do not discuss anything about it. Go make something for me in the kitchen, maybe there will be a rumour you hear there" Alena asked in a soft voice.
"Sorry, princess. I will do your command. What does the Princess want, does the Princess want red bean soup?" ask Amy.
"Sure, I need something that can add energy."
"I'm going to make the red bean soup the princess wanted, right away" Amy stepped towards the door and when the door opened, Amy was surprised to find Arabella's daughter standing at the door with her two servants.
Alena looked towards the door, was that her sister?
"Where's Ernest? Why isn't he at the banquet?" ask Arabella.
"I'm here, Brother," said Alena. Don't let her sister suspect.
"Ernest, why are you in the room? Has your illness recurred?" Arabella stepped in and sat on the side of the bed.
"I'm sorry, Brother. My situation is really not supportive. I didn't want any commotion at the banquet so I left secretly."
"Have you taken any medicine? If not, I'll have someone make you some medicine."
"Thank you brother for worrying about me, I've asked Agnes to make me some medicine."
"Alright, but next time you have to tell me this so I can drive you into the room."
"Thank you, Brother," Alena smiled. I don't know who he should trust and I don't know who he should watch out for because he still doesn't know who wants Ernest's death. It could have been Arabella's daughter, she was good but it could have been that the kindness she showed was a mask and it could have been that she had to be wary of the queen mother who did not want her. It could have been that the queen mother considered it a hindrance to Arabella, therefore the queen mother wanted to get rid of her and it could have been the king himself who wanted her death but for what? He must find a strong and reasonable motive to accuse his own family members.
All was still a mystery and looked gray, his lack of knowledge made it difficult even he did not know what mission Ernest had to undertake. The waiter, may he get a hint even if at least a hint of the ritual to be held on the fifteenth.
"Ernest" Arabella called him because Ernest was silent.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Alena looked nervous.
"What's wrong with you? I called out to you earlier," Arabella held her sister's arm and looked worried.
"It's okay, sorry if I'm daydreaming."
"All right, you better get some rest. I'll tell Mommy if you're in the room to rest."
"Thank you, Brother. Thank you for visiting me."
"Already, we were worried about your sudden state of not being in the banquet hall. Now that I've seen you, I've calmed down."
"Please apologize to mother and father" said Ernest.
"Surely," Arabella had moved out of Ernest's room.
Arabella returned to the banquet hall to convey Ernest's condition to her parents. He also wanted to talk to the prince because he wanted to get closer to the prince he wanted but unfortunately Lucius had returned to the room with a reason to rest when he wanted to hear what to be delivered by his personal bodyguard.
"Say, what do you see when you follow him!" lucius Pinta.
"My lord, it seems that the news of him being a loser is not true" said the bodyguard.
"What do you mean?" lucius did not understand.
The bodyguard stepped closer and said what he saw to the Prince in a whisper. Lucius was surprised, was what his personal bodyguard said true? To be honest, he did not believe it, but his personal bodyguards could not lie. Was Ernest really not a loser or was he pretending to be weak just to cover himself who was a magician? Somehow he became very curious about the figure of Ernest.
