The Rise Of The Queen Ernest

The death of Prince Lucius

That night, Arabella seemed happy because she could spend time with Prince Lucius. Although the prince did not really enjoy their togetherness because like there was something he thought but princess Arabella was quite satisfied. Such an opportunity is difficult to happen, he was worried that Ernest would mess it up but lucky his sister like deliberately did not want to interfere with their togetherness.

The moon shone so brightly, Arabella's servants even tried to abort the Cherry flower so that the princess get a romantic moment. Arabella is getting happy because her servant knows exactly what she wants. It didn't feel like the night was fast passing but unfortunately, their tea show was about to end let alone prince Lucius having to hurry.

"I think it's time for me to come back, Arabella" Lucius said.

"Thank you for the prince's willingness to come. At the party, does the Prince have a partner to dance with?" arabella asked, this is what she wanted to know and she hoped the Prince did not have a partner yet because she really hoped that Prince Lucius would ask her to dance later.

"Of course not, Princess Arabella. I haven't invited anyone to dance later because I can't haphazardly invite!" replied Prince Lucius.

"May I, Prince?" ask Arabella expectantly.

"We'll see, Princess. I didn't promise."

"Alright, thank you for the time given by the Prince. I heard the Prince is leaving in a few days so take this eye-sensing from me" Arabella gave Prince Lucius something.

"Thank you, I didn't bring anything but accept this as my thanks" Lucius gave a box to Arabella. He wanted to give it to Ernest but Ernest did not come. He also expected Ernest to give him something as a memory but he got it from Arabella instead.

"I'm so flattered, Prince," Arabella picked up the object given by Lucius, "May I see the contents?" arabella asked because she was impatient.

"Of course, it's already yours so no one's banning it. I hope you like it."

Arabella smiled sweetly, of course she would really like anything given by the Prince. The cover of the box was opened, Arabella saw the hair ornament that was inside the box with sparkling eyes. Pretty beautiful hair ornament, she was really lucky to get that hair ornament from Prince Lucius.

"It's really beautiful, Prince," Arabella said as she pulled out the contents inside the box.

"I'm happy if you like her, Princess Arabella" Prince Lucius moved on, it's time for her to return.

"Again thanks for your time, Prince. Please forgive my sister who can't come."

"Not to think about it, Princess Arabella. I have no problem" said Lucius, though he was very disappointed that Ernest was not present with them.

"Alright, again thank you Prince," Arabella put the hairpiece into the box and went to salute before Prince Lucius left.

Lucius also saluted and walked away. It was a very nice night to spend time with Ernest but unfortunately Ernest did not come. The moon was even brighter, Lucius paused for a moment to look at the moon. Never mind, hopefully he still has a chance to meet Ernest.

"Prince, regarding the words of Princess Arabella's servant," said Bastian who was at the side of Prince Lucius.

"Not to be discussed, Bastian. The words are unfounded even though princess Arabella justifies the words of her servant but this should not be discussed because it can destroy the relationship between Ernest and his brother. Let's go, it's time we go back!" and tonight he will return to Kenneth's palace because his father has asked him to return. It was sudden but it was indeed a few more days that they would return so it was not a matter. That was why he was so sorry that he could not meet Ernest and had to hear something unpleasant about him.

Lucius steps back, to meet King Leon and Queen Hana who already know if he will return to Kenneth's kingdom tonight as well. They could not prevent it because Prince Lucius had been asked back by his father but they would still take the departure of Prince Lucius.

"I'm sorry we didn't send you away so royally, Prince Lucius" King Leon said.

"No problem, your honor. I don't need to be delivered so cheerfully. I chose to leave tonight so no one would know."

"Alright, accept a little gift from us to the noble king James William" King Leon said again.

"Thank you, your Majesty King Leon. I'm very grateful for the welcome and the festive banquet you gave me" Lucius said.

"This is for you, Prince," the Queen stepped forward and gave a box to Lucius.

"Thank you, your queen" Lucius took it and gave it to Bastian.

After receiving the gifts of king Leon and queen Hana, Lucius and his army rushed to return to Kenneth's kingdom. Everything was ready, the horse carriage and also the horse he had was ready. He was escorted by several officials and ministers who were ordered by King Leon to take part.

Arabella, knowing the news, immediately ran towards the gate. Though they had just been together, why didn't Prince Lucius say that he was going back to his palace? Arabella ran with all her might and before Lucius came out of the open palace gate, Arabella shouted to stop her heart.

"Prince, wait!" scream Arabella. He was so happy because he had had a good night. The servant was very happy because his plan succeeded in making Ernest's daughter not interfere but why the separation that actually had to happen between them? I don't feel it because it was so sudden.

Lucius leaped down from the horse, Arabella who ran towards him immediately hugged Lucius without hesitation. Surely the actions of princess Arabella made Lucius unhappy.

"It's not appropriate that you do this, Princess Arabella," he said.

"I don't care, why don't you tell me you're going back to your palace tonight?" ask Arabella.

"I did it on purpose, Princess Arabella. I don't want a lot of people to know about my departure!"

"But you don't have to hide this from me, do you? Don't you trust me?"

"It's not so, sorry I didn't say it but I've got to go!" Lucius pushed Arabella and stepped back.

"I will miss you, Prince," said Arabella.

Lucius smiled, his eyes looking towards the king and queen. Though he wished for Ernest who ran towards him and said the words that Arabella had just spoken but alas, Ernest was nowhere to be seen.

Prince Lucius rode on horseback. He can't waste time. Whether the words spoken by Arabella's servants were true or not he certainly hoped they were not true and he hoped he could meet Ernest even though he did not know why Ernest would not meet him but in fact, Ernest and his two servants were at the night market to buy the souvenirs he could give Lucius.
