The eyes that were still lurking began to suspect because the princess did not move from earlier. The two servants were busy but there was no way the sleeping princess would not move. As a normal person, anyone sleeping would definitely move but the one on the bed, looked suspicious.
One of them decided to report to the person who sent them. They have to say the oddity but the wrong time makes them have to hold back so they decide to keep watching until morning.
Agnes and Amy were not able to resist sleepiness, the window that was accidentally opened was closed. They hoped that the princess would return quickly so that they could go to sleep soon. Alena who was already at the secret door along with prince Lucius looked around with misgivings, she had to remain vigilant for no one to know.
"I have to go back, Prince" said Alena.
"Wait a minute, Ernest," Lucius took something out of his robe and placed a box over Alena's palm.
"I really hope you come but come undercover so no one knows. I will announce if you are not invited and only Princess Arabella will come. This will ease the fear of the people so much that everyone thinks you won't come but I want you to keep coming so come use that thing so I can recognize you. Anyway it's a masquerade party, nobody's gonna know what you look like."
"I think it's better I don't come, Prince. I'm afraid I'm gonna ruin the party!" said Alena.
"Come, Ernest," Lucius pulled Alena over and hugged her, "We'll do as planned, I'll announce if you don't come and you, tell me also if you don't come for everyone to believe!"
"Why, Prince? Aren't I not important at all? There must be a lot of beautiful women coming to the party but why do you want me?"
"Come on, I really want you to come!" lucius. Actually, what he wants to dance with is just Ernest alone let alone the woman he will choose later will be considered as his prospective empress so he should not invite carelessly women to dance.
"All right, I'll work it out. But now I have to go inside."
"Be careful, I'll wait for you at the party."
Alena nodded, it seemed like she had to remember how the snow princess fairytale was because she was able to try out some scenes in the fairy tale. Maybe he also had to make a glass shoe for the competition. Ck, his brain went wrong because of the dance.
"Come in, I'll wait," Lucius again landed a kiss on Alena's cheek.it didn't feel like parting but whatever the force, it was, he falls for the princess who is considered a loser and a witch by everyone.
Alena looked dazed, one hand was on the cheek. He did not understand, why did prince Lucius kiss his cheek again. Doesn't that guy like his brother? The prince shouldn't have done that and he shouldn't have let Lucius kiss him like that again.
With a heavy heart, Lucius released Alena to return to the palace. He also had to return to the palace let alone travel far enough. Alena returns with a way to settle down, moving as carefully as possible to avoid spies she believes are still lurking.
Amy and Agnes had almost fallen asleep when the door opened. They were even surprised because they thought there was a villain who went inside but when they saw the princess who came back, they looked relieved. Fortunately, the spies could not see because they were tired.
"Daughter, you're finally back" Amy and Agnes came to him.
"Sttss, don't be noisy!" Alena took off her robe and put down the thing Lucius had given her.
"Have anyone come?" tanyakanya.
"Nothing, we've tried to do what the princess said but we're not strong because we're so sleepy" Amy said.
"It's okay, now go get some rest. I'll rest soon, too" said Alena.
"Well, princess," replied Amy and Agnes. The straw doll on the bed was removed, the bed was cleaned.
Alena washes her face first, then changes her clothes. The two servants had already gone to rest because they were both completely sleepy. Alena sat at the side of the bed for a while because she wanted to see the thing given by prince Lucius. Though the man did not need to give anything, he was not feeling good because he did not bring anything.
The King and Queen were already in the arena to see him train, the spies who had been scouting him since last night had already reported to his master and said if there was anything strange but even so, the spies had told him, they can't prove anything.
Alena who was less rested did not get excited at all to undergo training and because of that, the general shouted furiously even Alena was made to fall several times.
"Where's your spirit, princess?!" he shouted while relentlessly attacking.
"Let me rest for a while, general!" alena Pinta.
"Don't be weak, Princess. Dangerous situations don't know you're tired or anything!" the general again swung his sword with all his might and because of that, Alena bounced back. Alena shouted, she was completely negligent.
"Stop!" shouted the queen mother who had stepped closer to Alena.
"What's wrong with you, Ernest?" ask father.
"Sorry, father. Ernest was not feeling well" said Alena.
"If so don't push yourself," the queen mother had already helped Alena to stand up.
"Sorry, Mother. Ernest is disappointing."
"Here you go, let's get some rest" his mother asked.
A resting place becomes a destination, a waiter pours drinks for Alena as the princess sits with the queen mother. The drink is not poisonous. Alena was really tired, the next time she had to rest enough so that the incident did not happen again.
"Do you have a dress for you to wear at the party, Ernest?" ask the queen mother.
"For that, I don't think I'm going to go, Mommy" Alena replied.
"What do you mean, Ernest?" ask Arabella who was not far from them at that time.
"Sister?" Alena turned, Arabella had already stepped closer to her.
"What do you mean you're not leaving, Ernest?" ask Arabella again.
"I think it's better not to go, brother. The situation is unfriendly, I must not be accepted by the people of Kenneth Kingdom. Instead of me messing up the party and putting you in danger, I better not come to the show. Anyway I don't want to make a fuss and I don't think I'm welcome there either."
"But it's not necessarily true and no one dares touch you let alone you being with me" said his brother.
"No, brother. I don't want to make a mess let alone the safe place for me right now is the palace."
"What Ernest said was very true, Arabella. Your sister better not go to that party. It's very dangerous for her and for you" said the queen mother.
"Well if so, when I really want to be able to go with you," Arabella looked disappointed but want how else, she did have to think about her sister's situation.
Alena smiled, though, he had already said that he would not go according to the plans of the prince Lucius and was now just looking for an excuse so that he could get out of the palace without anyone knowing other than the queen mother and her father because only the two of them could help him.
