The Rise Of The Queen Ernest

Unbecoming

Lucius who was waiting for Ernest's arrival was very happy because the princess he was waiting for had already arrived. He could tell it was from the red diamond necklace worn by Ernest because it was the thing he gave him and he asked Ernest to use it so he knew if the princess he was waiting for had come.

Alena looked elegant that night, with a gold thread embroidered dress made by Amy and Agnes. Mask decorated by peacock feathers worn by Alena, he also invited Amy and so as not to be caught. They are already very late to attend the party let alone they are intercepted by the guards because they do not have an invitation card but Amy acts out and says if they both eliminate her.

A royal name in the middle of nowhere was mentioned so that the guards believed and after examining it, the guests of the kingdom had not come but actually the invitation did not reach the kingdom. Alena and Amy were so relieved that they could enter but they were both surprised that they were the center of attention. Their shock was not long when Lucius had already stepped forward and approached Alena.

"Are you willing to dance with me, Princess?" ask Lucius.

Alena glanced at Amy for a moment and after that, Alena welcomed Lucius' invitation by putting her palm over Lucius's palm. The goal of coming to that place was indeed to talk to Lucius and after that he would leave.

Arabella gripped the handkerchief so tightly as Lucius led Alena to the dance floor. Who, who is that mysterious princess? Why didn't he know that there was something that Prince Lucius liked? The sound of music that had stopped was heard again, some princesses and princes back dancing together with the princes Lucius and Alena.

"I don't think you're coming" said Lucius.

"Call me, Alena. Don't let me say my name!" whispered Alena.

"Well, why are you late? Did something happen on the road?"

"No, I did come too late on purpose," because of the long gloves he was wearing, Lucius would not be able to see the wounds he had on his arm due to the fight with the hitmen.

"I'm glad you came," Lucius pulled Alena's waist up until their bodies docked.

Her father and mother were thrilled to see her son getting a partner to dance with. Some of the princesses looked envious to see the togetherness of the two of them even princess Arabella was already so wrathful. He should have been the star, he should have been the one on the dance floor along with prince Lucius. Now, he will be the scorn because he is not the one who was invited to dance by the prince Lucius.

"You look amazing, Alena," said Lucius. He did not know if the name he was referring to was the real name of the woman he was dancing with.

"Thank you for the prince's praise, but I can't take long."

"Why?" ask Lucius.

"Turn me a minute!" alena Pinta.

Lucius twisted Alena's body for a while then pulled Alena back into his arms. The two of them danced for a while before continuing their conversation.

"Say, why can't you take long?" ask Lucius.

"There's something I have to do and I think it's time I get out of this place!"

"No, tell me where are you going? I already said I'd help then I'd involve myself in the trouble you're in!" Lucius further tightened his embrace and Alena's hand was held tightly.

"I can't say this because it's a secret so let go!" alena Pinta.

"Say where you want to go, I'll let you go!"

"Westtrink, I have to go there and have to arrive tomorrow morning so I can't be long" said Alena slowly.

"What do you want to do in that village?" Lucius was more and more curious as to what Alena was about to do.

"For that, I can't tell you yet, prince," Alena stopped her steps and removed the necklace given by prince Lucius.

"I'm so grateful you'd invite me but like I said, I can't take long. Thank you for giving me this very beautiful thing but I don't deserve it" Alena put the necklace over Lucius' palm.

"This thing I gave you so don't give it back!"

"That thing is too fancy for me, prince. Give it to another princess who deserves it."

"Nobody deserves better than you?" lucius' words came to a halt as Alena had already put her finger to the man's lips.

"Thank you," Alena stepped closer and gave a kiss on the lips of Prince Lucius, "I'm very flattered but I feel that I'm not right now!" said again.

"If so," Lucius grabbed Alena's waist and raised his chin, "I'll wait until you feel you deserve it and I'll help you until you're in a position where you'll feel you're fit and at that point, at that point, you will be the queen of this kingdom!" after saying that, Lucius kissed Alena's lips. Everyone who saw was surprised especially Alena hugged the prince and kissed him back. Let it be, maybe this will be the end of their meeting because he doesn't know if he'll come back again or not after meeting Kendrick.

Everyone watched, of course, the feeling of envy increasingly filled the hearts of some of the guests present, whether the very lucky woman was who they were very curious to know. Like in a fairy tale, Alena stepped back after the kiss stopped. A smile adorned his face, yet he already had to leave that place.

"Goodbye, Lucius" said Alena before turning the steps. Amy was already waiting at the door, all watching the departure of the unknown princess.

Lucius looked at the necklace that was in hand, unable to. If he hadn't chased after Ernest now, he thought they would never have met again therefore he couldn't have let Ernest just walk away. Witch or loser, he doesn't care.

Lucius immediately chased after Alena who had stepped quickly along with Amy. The two of them looked so hurried as if they could not wait to get out of the place.

"Wait!" shouted Lucius.

Alena and Amy's steps came to a halt, Lucius was already chasing behind them. Amy even stepped back as Lucius hugged the princess.

"Wait for me at Westtrink, I'll be there tomorrow morning!" lucius.

"No need, Prince. You didn't?"

"Wait there, I don't accept any excuses. I know what you're about to do, I'll help you find the real witch and clear your name of slander" Lucius hugged her tightly, he felt they would not meet again if he really did not involve himself.

"I hope you stay in the palace, prince. If you catch up, people will think of you as an ally of a witch like me and everyone will know that I'm the one who danced with you tonight. You know the more hatred I get even my brother who sees will hate me so please understand and make a wise decision!"

"I know," Lucius stretched out his arms, his hands were already on Alena's cheeks, "I know what I have to do so there's no need to worry because of every action I take, I must have thought about it well so wait for me in Westtrink village."

"Alright, but I've got to go," Alena stepped back, this time Lucius did not prevent and as in the Cinderella fairy tale, did, Lucius seemed to have lost the princess by the time the clock had rung because he could only let Ernest go without being able to prevent it and again their meeting was very short.
