The Rise Of The Queen Ernest

Must Pretend Stupid

In order to trick the enemy and so that Agnes is not considered to have failed in carrying out the task so that Agnes always gets the enemy's trust to harm her, Alena pretends to get a burn on her face due to the hard drugs brought by Agnes. An artificial wound he had already made but no one knew because Alena did not make a fuss about it. He would pretend that nothing had happened, he would act as if there had just been a small incident that left his face injured.

Amy who has returned to take Bastian to bring the enemy he captured into prison is busy making wounds on Alena's face. Lucius who was outside was now in the room to see what the princess was doing. She had heard that Agnes was betraying but she already knew what Alena was planning.

Agnes looked at the prince Lucius who was undercover in full search. He did not expect that Ernest's daughter would take a bodyguard. He had already heard that the bodyguard had been found by Ernest's daughter while on the way. Although the name Bastian was mentioned by Princess Ernest, he did not suspect at all the man standing behind the princess. But that doesn't mean he'll betray again, he doesn't dare to do it.

"Why did you cover your face with that artificial wound, Ernest?" ask Lucius.

"Of course to deceive the enemy. To achieve a goal I need to do it!" ernest replied without alluding to the betrayal committed by Agnes.

"Daughter, are you sure no one will say this to the enemy?" amy asked while looking at Agnes. She was afraid that Agnes would report to the enemy what they were doing right now.

"Of course, no need to worry. Get it done before anyone comes!" alena's orders.

Amy nods, though she doesn't understand why the princess didn't kick Agnes out after Agnes had betrayed her, but she believes there is a plan for what Ernest's daughter is doing right now. Artificial wounds have been made on the face and then covered with bandages so that no one knows if the wound is fake. Just let the enemy want to assume like what must be Agnes must remain on the enemy's side so that she can infiltrate to get information let alone the fifteenth is getting closer.

Alena looks pretty satisfied, good. To uncover the rot that is in the palace can not be done suddenly let alone the enemy is good at hiding therefore he must make small strategies to unmask the real criminals let alone could be, he said, the real villain was so close to him.

"What do you think of my appearance?" Alena asked Prince Lucius.

"Do you want to hear my compliments now or elsewhere that no one else hears?" Lucius asked back.

"Alright, save your praise but I want to ask you for the item I left you with because tonight I will meet the queen and father to discuss the contents of the book."

"Have you made an appointment with them?"

"No need, I will sneak into their room secretly so that no one will know but I need your help just in case no one follows."

"Give it to your bodyguard!" lucius.

Alena did not answer, her eyes out the window. It's time to find out who Mauren's daughter really is and if she really isn't the daughter of Queen Hana and King Leon. Tonight, he would meet them personally to get an answer from the contents instead of the ones written by who knows.

"Ernest, I heard you're back. Are you inside?" there was the voice of Arabella's daughter who had indeed come to see the state of her sister because she had not met Ernest since she returned. He also wanted to know why Ernest had a bodyguard now and he also wanted to see the bodyguard spoken by the queen mother.

Amy gets an order to open the door, Lucius stands behind Alena and pretends to be a loyal bodyguard. Arabella went inside and when she saw Lucius, Arabella looked at him with a probing gaze because she felt not so foreign. He was very curious about the foreign man who appeared suddenly and became his sister's bodyguard.

"Sister, how are you?" ask Alena, stale.

"Jeez, Ernest. What's wrong with your face?" Arabella walked up to her sister quickly when she saw a bandage on her face.

"I'm fine, Brother. It's just a fall wound" Alena lied.

"How did you fall and hurt your face? You're a princess, there shouldn't be a cut on your face!"

"No problem, Brother. It's just a minor wound and it'll heal soon. What about brother? I heard you were back before the dance was over?" Alena pretended to ask so as not to be suspected by her brother.

"I don't want to talk about it, we better talk about something else!" Arabella really did not want to remember the embarrassing incident again.

"Here you go, I hear you have two bodyguards. Is true?"

"Yes, brother. I do need bodyguards because I feel like the situation I'm in is going to get harder."

"What you're saying is very true, Ernest. I'm also worried about your situation" Arabella looked at the cold, untouchable Prince Lucius. Really, he felt that the man was not so foreign.

"Now show me how bad the wound is on your face" Arabella said.

"Sorry, Brother. My face has just been treated so it's better not to open it first."

"Well, what you said is very true. The wound on your face should be given the best medicine so as not to leave a mark, you understand?"

"Thank you, Brother," Alena smiled. She thought her brother would be suspicious since he wasn't in the palace when her brother came back. Alena had even prepared an answer if her brother asked her that but it turned out that she was wrong. Did her brother really not know of her disappearance or did he not suspect it at all?

"If I go first, you'd better get some rest" Arabella moved on, she'd seen her sister and she'd be relieved.

Alena takes a short walk until princess Arabella comes out of her room. Alena was still standing at the door and as Arabella walked away with her servant, who looked very dislikeful of Ernest, she went inside and sat in front of the window.

"Don't you feel like something's weird?" ask Lucius.

"What do you mean?" alena did not understand.

Lucius stared at Amy and Agnes, Alena knew there was something the prince was going to tell her, so she asked Agnes and Amy to come out for a while. Amy and Agnes certainly obeyed the order and came out of the princess' room so that Alena could talk to Prince Lucius in person.

"What do you mean by the words you just said, Prince?" ask Alena.

"The behavior your brother just showed you, don't you suspect him at all?"

"No, he's my brother so why would I suspect him?"

"Ernest, though, I don't want to accuse you but you yourself said that everything in the palace could be your enemy so I want you to be wary of anyone and you should be suspicious of anyone including your brother and your mother and father. I don't want to provoke your relationship, but what if what's written in the book is very true that you're the daughter of Mauren and what if there's a big conspiracy hidden from you during your time this is?"

"I know what you mean, Lucius," Alena leaned against Lucius' chest sitting by his side.

"I must suspect everything in the palace but I must not show my suspicions so openly that the enemy knows and is vigilant. I have to pretend to be stupid until I know the truth of the writing. I told you tonight I'm gonna find out and after that, I'm gonna figure out what to do and figure out who's the opponent and who's the friend."

"We, don't forget me!" lucius' hand was already on Alena's forehead and rubbed her slowly. Both of Alena's eyes were already closed, enjoying their togetherness as she didn't know if they could still be like that or not in the future.

"My brother is so pretty, but why are you interested in a loser like me?" ask Alena. Although he asked that but he knew that what the prince liked was Ernest, not him.

"On that matter," before continuing his words, Lucius kissed Alena's cheek and did not keep his lips away from Ernest's pretty face, "I don't know because this feeling is present by itself without me wanting and I know, this feeling cannot be wrong even if you are considered a loser and even though you are considered a witch by everyone but to me you are not like that!" heed

Alena smiled, whether it was Ernest who was lucky or him but she knew their relationship would not be approved let alone by the people in Kenneth kingdom. If he wants their relationship to stay together then he must clear Ernest's name and prove to the world that he is not the witch he thought he was and is tonight, all the answers he had to get from king Leon and queen Hana since he had already planned to meet them to discuss the book the Holy Order had given him.
