The entire inn in Kenneth's kingdom was already filled with girls waiting for the dance to be held later that night. The girls beautify themselves, they carry the beautiful dresses they have as well as the golden masks they will wear. The princesses present really showed the power that their father had.
The inhabitants of the palace looked busy, the servants were busy preparing everything for the party that was about to take place. Not only the servants, the soldiers were also busy keeping watch and tightening security so that no one could barge in carelessly.
King James was also busy talking to ministers and officials while Lucius was watching the preparations being made. He had already spread the word if Ernest was not coming so he was sure that there would be no commotion going on but even so, he was very hopeful that Ernest would be present at his dance party later that night.
Lucius even imagined Ernest's extraordinary appearance with the thing he gave him. It felt impatient, very impatient for the night to come quickly. Because imagining Ernest's extraordinary appearance made Lucius unaware that his adorable sister was already standing by his side.
"What did you see?" alicia asked but her sister did not answer.
"Sister, the party hasn't started yet so don't daydream!" alicia shouted as she pulled her brother's hand.
"Alicia, why are you playing here?"
"Alicia's just looking, not playing!"
"Alright, but here it's dangerous for Alicia. Go back to the room and find the best dress Alicia has."
"Did you decide who to dance with?"
"Ck, little kids don't need to know about this!"
"Come on, Alicia wants to know which daughter you're going to dance with."
"Later Alicia will know so come in."
"Alright," Alicia lowered her head and looked sad. Though he wanted to see but the busy servants could crash into him accidentally so he was asked to be in the room for today.
Lucius stepped away, to meet his father and mother. Just waiting for the night to come, waiting for Ernest to come and he hopes Ernest comes. Ernest was on his way to Kenneth's kingdom. After bidding farewell to her parents, Alena immediately leaves with Amy while Agnes lives in the palace to pretend to be her.
Alena and Amy were just the two of them, she didn't come along with the bodyguards because she didn't want anyone to know. The more crowded, the easier it is to be caught because of that he is just alone. This was done to avoid the same incident so as not to repeat itself.
Although heavy, but inevitably the king and queen let go of their daughter. Alena's first goal is a dance party, she wants to return an object given by prince Lucius and after that, she and Amy will go straight to Westtrink village because she doesn't want to waste time.
Their journey was quite far away but unfortunately from the shady and towering trees there was a strange movement because there was a group of assassins following them secretly. Strange, though who knew his departure was only the king and queen but why would anyone follow?
The horse was increasingly being carried at high speed, he should be able to avoid anyone who was chasing but it turned out that not only did the enemy move from tree to tree but a few horse races were heard not far away.
"Run, Amy!" shout Alena.
"What's up, Princess?" ask Amy.
"We're being followed!" alena replied and at that moment she had to pull the saddle to stop the horse since they were already surrounded. Amy did the same thing so her horse stopped.
"What's going on, Princess?" ask Amy.
"Let's go" Alena took her horse around, the men turned it around. Not only the one riding but also the one who just jumped down from the top of the tree.
"What do you want?" shout Alena.
"Sorry, Princess. We were ordered to kill you!"
"Who gave you the orders?" ask Alena again.
Alena drew her sword and jumped down from the horse. Amy who had learned to use the sword also jumped down. Enemies begin attacking Alena and Amy as they get orders to kill Ernest's daughter.
The sound of a sword clash started to sound, Alena repelled every attack given by the enemy as well as Amy. If he knew that he would be attacked, of course, he would bring his bodyguards but they had left as carefully as possible, how could there be hired assassins chasing after him. Who really ordered them?
"Kill Ernest's daughter and cut off her head. The queen wants her head!"
Alena was surprised to hear that. The queen? Whoever said such a thing must be his head is being targeted.
"You won't be able to carry my head easily!" shout Alena. The sword hilt in the clasped tightly and after that, Alena ran towards the hitman and attacked them.
"Don't be reckless Princess!" scream Amy. He attacked just like Alena did. The sword fighting happened again, Alena's sword was covered in blood. Some injuries he had obtained but Alena could still attack. Amy who had trained hard had already killed some of them. It turned out that the training he had gone through was not in vain.
Some of the enemies had already fallen drenched in blood, Alena dodged the occasional enemy to attack. He tried to focus even though he was thinking about what the assassins said to the queen who ordered them to kill him.
"Daughter, behind you!" amy shouted as she saw the princess about to be attacked from behind.
Alena immediately turned around as she slapped her sword towards the enemy who was about to stab her. Ernest's notoriously weak daughter, was now someone else. Alena had even been covered in blood, of course, it was the blood of the enemy that hit her. Fresh blood flowed from her sword, Alena suddenly looked scary in the eyes of the enemy even Amy swallowed looking at the princess who looked cold without a smile.
"Whoever you are, I won't let you go!" Alena stepped forward, took the enemy sword that was on the ground and now two swords
it's already in hand.
"Retreat, Amy. I'll take care of them!" said Alena.
"But princess?"
"Forward!" alena's orders while putting up the horses!"
"Get him down and kill him!" the leader of the group's order.
"Do it if you can!" Alena shouted and ran towards the enemy while knocking out the two swords in hand. Alena gets attacked from all sides because she is in a ruckus but she can fend off any attack and injure the criminals who are attacking her. Amy was just watching, she was eager to help but the princess who was angry and slapped her sword blindly scared her away.
Alena swung her sword here and there, wounding everyone nearby. The enemy's head was even decapitated by the sabetage of his two sharp swords. Alena gasps, she still has not stopped and does not care about the fatigue she feels and the injuries she gets because she continues to attack until finally the remaining enemy can she cut off her head.
Tired, he was really tired after it was finished. Alena fell down
on her sword, Amy immediately ran over to the battered princess.
"Daughter, are you okay?" ask Amy.
"I just need a break" replied Alena.
"As for the assassin's words, is it true that the queen mother did it?" ask Amy.
"We'll find out later after meeting Kendrick!" alena said, but she was not sure if her mother was the one who wanted her death.
"Your wounds must be treated, princess," Amy ran towards the horse, to take the medicine. Alena did not prevent, instead she sat on the ground among the corpses she had just killed. Queen, did the queen mother really want her death or was there another queen they were referring to?
It was already dark as they resumed their journey towards Kenneth's palace. A little obstruction blocked their steps and they still had not arrived whereas by then, the feast was already about to begin and the palace was already opened to welcome the princesses who would be present at the dance.
