Suddenly calm, day, Agnes did not show any suspicious behavior because all the followers of the sect were indeed asked not to do anything until the fifteenth day arrived so that no one would be suspicious and so that no one would know what which they will do.
The quiet day was certainly used by Alena to relax together with prince Lucius. Alena was on the branch of a large tree with Lucius sitting behind her. Alena even leaned against the chest of the prince while enjoying the apples given by Lucius. The two of them were like they were mixing love on the tree even though Amy and Bastian were not far from them.
"Are you going back to the palace after we catch the witch?" ask Alena.
"Of course, I'll be inducted soon. Are you coming, Ernest?"
"Am I going to be accepted?" alena asked before biting the apple.
"Of course, you will definitely be accepted especially after we catch the witch. Your name will surely be clean from the slander you've been getting there won't be anymore."
Alena was silent, not answering. He was instead thinking about what would happen to him later after he had completed that mission. It was a pity that he could not meet with Ernest's soul, if they could be reunited maybe he could figure out if he would disappear after his role ended or not.
"Why are you quiet? What are you thinking?" Lucius rubbed Alena's forehead, the fruit in Alena's hand fell out of her hand because Alena's hand was already on Lucius's arm.
"I'm afraid, Lucius," he said.
"What are you afraid of, Ernest? Will you go to another country after this or something else?"
"Not that!" Alena straightened her seat, her facial expression looking sad.
"What's wrong? Tell me??" Lucius shifted closer and hugged Alena from the side.
"After all this is done, it looks like I will also disappear!"
"What do you mean?" Lucius really did not understand what Ernest was saying.
Alena turned, looking at prince Lucius with a sad look. A thin smile adorned his face, Lucius grew curious about Alena's words especially behind her smile stored something that he hid.
"Ernest, I don't like guessing!" Lucius clasped Alena's hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Tell me what do you mean? You've spoken strangely like this twice and I don't understand the meaning at all so tell me, why are you talking like that and what does that mean?"
"Why are you talking as if this body isn't yours, Ernest?" Lucius hugged him from the side, he did not understand but Ernest's words seemed to say if he was not entitled to his own body.
"Do you like me, Prince?" Alena turned back, looking at prince Lucius with a serious facial expression.
"Of course I like you, Ernest. You know that but why do you still ask? Can't you see what I've done for you? I'm willing to leave the palace just for you, do you still doubt me?" ask Lucius.
"It's not like that, Prince. I know you like me but I want to know what you like about me. Is it my face or is it my famous loser personality that you like?"
"You're a loser, I heard news like that but after I met you and got to know you, you were completely different. What people have been saying about you all this time is not true. You're not a loser and you're far from my shadow and you're giving me a lot of surprises. I can't even believe what I see every time you take out your enemies. You're not as weak as the issue I heard, you even killed without mercy and me, he said, it's amazing of you so I'm not only in love with your beautiful face but I'm in love with your extraordinary nature and that surprises me with your surprising actions."
"Thank you for your answer, Prince," Alena placed her head on Lucius' arm.
"But I want you to promise me one thing. Are you ready?"
"Of course I'm willing, tell me what you want, Ernest?"
"Thank you so listen to my request carefully. After we catch the witch, I don't know what will happen to me after. Whether I will remain me or not because I do not know this life is mine or not. I'm just a replacement role for the lead character and after the contract between us is over, I don't know if I still have a hand in the role I'm playing, if my nature changes one day, if I am like everyone else and weak, will you still love me? Are you going to turn to another woman and dump me?" Alena asked for this because Ernest could have returned to his body and his role was over. They are two different people, of course the character they have is also different. Do not let the prince just do not like the character owned by Ernest to dump the real princess because after all he is only a substitute and he must save Ernest's position so that the original princess remains loved by the Prince and Ernest could be queen in the future.
"All your words really confused me and I can't understand, Ernest!" Lucius hugged her tightly. Alena's words really confused him but he was sure, Alena was serious.
"My words don't need to be interpreted by the Prince, all I want is your promise. Would you still love me if my nature suddenly changed and not as you know it all along? Answer me Prince and promise me!"
"I promise you, Ernest. I promise I will always love you even if your nature changes one day. I swear I won't leave you in any circumstances, it's my oath as a man!"
Alena smiled, the vow uttered by Lucius made her feel calm. In this way Ernest's position will be safe when he returns to his body because Lucius will still love him and him, he said, it was already very satisfied being loved by a handsome man like Lucius even though that man was from ancient times but at least he had already felt the love in his life.
"Thank you, Prince. I'm happy to hear it" Alena said. Now, no matter what would happen to her later, she would not regret it much less since the beginning she was indeed dead.
Lucius did not let go of his embrace, for some reason he became afraid. Afraid that the bold figure that was in his arms was currently disappearing from before him. He hoped that what he feared would not happen, he hoped that Ernest would remain Ernest even if he did not shout at what Alena said but because of Alena's words and requests, a feeling of fear arose in his heart and he felt that he would lose the woman in his arms at this time.
