The troops had already walked quite far from the palace. That afternoon the sun was shining so hot, the hot weather like that made Alena feel dizzy. The circumstances made King Leon and Queen Hana anxious, so Alena was ordered to be in the carriage.
Arabella was already inside the horse carriage, the weather was really so hot that she could not stand it. King Leon even ordered his soldiers to find a place to rest. After all the troops on foot already looked exhausted.
A resting tent was erected quickly so that the king and queen could rest immediately. Alena who was inside the horse carriage opened a bit of cloth that covered the window because she wanted to know why the horse carriage had stopped.
"Is there anything you want, Princess?" ask Amy who is walking on the side of the train.
"No, I just want to know why we stopped?"
"The king wants to rest for a while, Princess."
"Is it far away?" ask Alena.
"It looks like we're already halfway through and we'll be back on our way after we're done resting."
"Alright," Ernest got out of the carriage, they were in the forest at the time. The air that blows is quite cool, it seems very pleasant if you can take a walk for a while.
"Where are you going, Princess?" ask Amy and Agnes.
"Street a minute."
"Wait, Princess. Don't go far!" Amy and Agnes immediately run after Alena who is walking towards a large tree.
Lucius who saw also immediately jumped down from his horse. Without wasting any time, Lucius stepped quickly towards Alena. Bastian followed along with some of his soldiers.
Alena who wants to walk for a while is the center of attention, surely from the people who wanted his death but those people could do nothing but pay attention because prince Lucius was chasing after princess Ernest.
Alena, who was aware that she was being followed, hid behind a tree quickly. Amy and Agnes continue to walk according to the request of the princess. Lucius was very surprised because Alena suddenly disappeared but the knife that was suddenly under his neck made Prince Lucius surprised so that his steps stopped.
"What are you doing, Prince? Do you always do things like this? Trailing a woman and I think you know that this is not a commendable act" Alena said.
"Let your knife down, Ernest. I think you know that what you're doing could be misinterpreted by the person who's watching."
"You're lucky I didn't cut your neck right away, Prince," the knife was taken down and then put back in storage.
"Why are you following me?" alena asked as she walked over to the place where Amy and Agnes were.
"I saw you so I wanted to know where you were going" Lucius followed Alena's steps.
"For what, Prince. This place is big, I think you can definitely find a good place to rest.
"It's not good to go all the way, Ernest. You could be the target of bad guys or robbers hiding in the woods."
"Thank you for the advice you gave me. I didn't go far, I just wanted to be there!" alena said pointing to the side of the cliff where Amy and Agnes were waiting.
"Come, Princess. This place is so good!" yell Amy and Agnes.
"Sucks, you're ahead of me!" Alena stepped closer, all because of the Prince who suddenly appeared.
"Well," Alena seemed to admire the sight before her eyes.
"Really good!" said Lucius who was standing by his side.
"What does our closeness have to do with Princess Arabella?" lucius did not understand.
"My sister likes you, she's a future queen so I don't want to let her down!" Alena shifted her steps to the side.
"Gee.. Well, I really didn't expect this. She likes me, but do you think I like her?"
Alena turned, looking towards the prince Lucius who was also looking towards her. Alena did not say anything, she again saw the natural scenery that stretched beautifully under the cliff. Lucius wants to like his brother or not, he doesn't care at all.
The two of them remained silent until they were finally startled by Arabella's voice from behind. Arabella who was looking for her sister did not expect that she would find the whereabouts of her sister who was with Lucius. Really, he was increasingly suspicious of the relationship between the two of them who seemed to be getting closer.
"Ernest, Prince, what are you two doing here?" asked Arabella who was having trouble lifting her long and heavy dress.
"Sister," Ernest immediately approached his brother and helped him lift the dress, "Where's your servant?" ask Ernest.
"They're resting, Ernest. Tell me, what are you doing here with the Prince? Am I bothering you two?" ask Arabella with a smile.
"Don't misunderstand, Brother. We met here by chance. We want to enjoy the natural scenery and look, this place is very nice," Alena pointed to the scenery in plain sight.
"Wow, you're right. This place is very good," Arabella was stunned by the beauty that was in front of her eyes.
"If so I go first" said Lucius. He's lazy to be there because there's Arabella.
"Why so fast, Prince. What if we talked together?" bring Arabella.
"Why do you suddenly want to leave, Prince. Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me and ask about my brother?" Alena deliberately kept the prince from leaving and so that Prince Lucius could be close to his brother.
"What's? Is that true, Prince?" ask Arabella. He looked so happy with what Ernest had said.
Lucius glared, while Alena smiled sweetly. He wanted to see how the prince avoided his older brother who was obviously very fond of him.
"What do you want to know about me, Prince? I'll answer and say whatever you want to know about me" Arabella said.
"Hm, it's not really important. You are the future queen candidate and the one who will lead the kingdom of Kent Arsia therefore I would like to invite you to exchange ideas. I deliberately asked Ernest when you had time to talk to me, "he never really wanted to talk but because of Ernest he had to create an Alibi.
"When I can, Prince. It's an honor for me to talk to you" Arabella bowed slightly as she said that.
"Thank you, princess Arabella," Lucius again glared at Ernest who looked dissatisfied with the result.
"Alright, it looks like we have to go back because the break is over" Arabella said.
"So right, let's go back!"
Arabella turned the steps, stepped away first. Alena followed in her brother's footsteps from behind but Lucius grabbed her waist all of a sudden. Surely it made Alena surprised, she even shut her mouth so as not to scream.
"Review you, Ernest. I'll pay it back later!" whispered Lucius quietly.
Alena could only glare, what was the man willing to do? Alena hurriedly brushed off Lucius' hands that were at the waist because she was afraid Arabella knew what they were doing but unfortunately, Arabella already knew. Both hands of Arabella clutched her dress tightly, it felt very upset but she had to endure all that.
They returned to the troops who were ready to leave for the hunting ground. The King and Queen were waiting for their two daughters to return. The queen even asked Ernest and Arabella for a carriage with her because she wanted to have a conversation with her two daughters.
Alena realizes there is another look from Arabella but she does not know if the brother is currently looking at her with jealousy because of her closeness to prince Lucius, the man she really wants.
