The Spirit of Modern Women in the Ancient Kingdom

Chapter.10 Not Opening the Heart.

Raven slowly let go of her best friend's sister, wanting to say something to Eloisa.

"Raven, if there's anything you need to talk about, it's better to go home first. Just talk at home, not on the street like this." Ellora cut the words that would come out of Raven's lips.

After saying that Ellora went past them to walk home.

Eloisa did not understand why the woman called Prince Everald by the name of Raven, she was very surprised. Moreover, the tone of the woman's way of speaking like commanding to her Prince made her instantly angry, it could be that the woman was being rude to a Prince.

Raven heard Ellora say that, and she followed him while looking at Eloisa, "Follow me."

Eloisa quickly followed behind the Prince, along with three bodyguards and one female servant.

After arriving at their rented house, Ellora immediately went to the kitchen to prepare drinks and snacks to entertain guests, while Raven and Eloisa were already sitting in the living room of Ellora's arrangement.

The guest room looked neat and very nice to see, there were fresh flowers arranged in the vase, Loisa who saw him frowned because she was not happy.

"Okay, sister, I want to hear an explanation why you accidentally disappeared for a month? When I investigated it turned out that brother went to the Akadia Kingdom, did you want to meet your future Bride Wife?" Ask Eloisa full of questions.

Raven quickly closed the girl's mouth, her index finger was on her lips to keep Eloisa quiet. He then pulled the girl's hand into his own room and closed the door.

"Shut up! Don't be heard by Ellora! I'll explain everything later, but you can't tell anyone that I'm a Prince including Ellora. Understood?!"

So that woman's name is Ellora, cih! Eloisa grumbled in her heart.

"Well, tell me first who's that woman outside? Why would he act like that to you? He was being disrespectful to Big Brother and also why did he call you by the name of Raven? Also why can you live together in this house?" Eloisa.

Ellora brought drinks into the living room, but she did not find them there. Finally he went around, he heard their voices from the direction of Raven's room even though it was only a faint - faint sound.

When Ellora wanted to knock on the door, she heard the last words of the girl inside. He did not hold back and knocked on the door.

"Lake in." Raven's voice came from inside.

"I brought you a drink for Mr and Miss, please enjoy." Ellora said with emphasis on the word Master.

Raven was surprised by this Master's call, she looked into Ellora's eyes and found a stern look from her. He understood and just remained silent.

"Sorry Miss Eloisa, I just accidentally heard what you said about who I am." Ellora.

"Actually I was just someone who had been helped by Mr. Raven, at that time I was in a state of difficulty. Mr. Raven is the one who helped me." Ellora told a lie.

But there is indeed a little truth to the word - he said, it is true that he has been helped by Raven.

"So you're saying, brother has helped you and let you stay home with him, is that it?" Eloisa looked at him in disbelief.

"Right Miss, since I have no family and also no place to live, I ask Mr. Raven for help. In order for him to take me with him, I said I would serve him to return his help to me." Ellora's answer still tells half the truth and half the lie.

"Is that really brother? Everything this woman says is true, if she's just your servant in this house?" Eloisa asked deliberately suppressing the word of the servant.

Raven remained silent, she looked towards Ellora. The woman just nodded to him.

Eloisa was pleased to hear everything, "Well, now come out I still want to talk to Ev's sister uh Raven."

"Well," Ellora went out with her eyes staring intently at Raven warning her.

Raven of course saw it, he sighed resignedly.

"Then it's sister's house, because I know you often sneak out of the palace. So I'm not going to tell you to go back to the palace, but I also want to stay here with you." Eloisa said sweet.

Eloisa wants to be able to make the Prince she adores and loves from a long time ago will fall in love with her and break her marriage bond with the bride-to-be in the enemy Kingdom.

"If you do not allow it, I will go home and tell the King. If you hadn't been in the palace all this time, and I would have told the lady outside that you were a Prince!" Threaten him to Raven.

Raven is instantly frightened, instead of wanting forever to keep it a secret that she is a Prince and also his bride-to-be Elllora. But now that this was not the right time, he wanted Ellora to love him first as a Raven instead of as a Prince, only after Ellora loved him would she say everything.

"Alright, but I'll determine when you can be here. If I tell you to go and go home, then don't refuse my orders." Raven finally compromised with the girl.

"agree! Then I'll have the waiter bring all my belongings from the inn. I'd also tell the bodyguard to tell people at home that I'm going with my sister." He said spoiled, Eloisa immediately walked away out.

Raven thought of all the unexpected things today, she instantly remembered Ellora. He immediately went to look for her, the woman was in his room. He knocked on the open door, "May I come in?"

"Come in." Answer Ellora.

"Ekhm. Look Princess, uh Ellora. Eloisa is my best friend's sister, so we've been close since childhood and I've looked at her like my own sister." Raven explained nervously.

"Please don't get me wrong, he also asked for permission to stay with us here. I've already stepped in, are you angry?" there was a bit of anxiety in the man's words.

Ellora heard her worry, she thought about Raven's services to her all this time, let alone this house the man who had rented her with his money. He felt he had no right to forbid Raven's will.

Ellora finally nodded, as they still wanted to speak Eloisa's voice called out Raven's name.

"I'm out," Raven immediately exited Ellora's room.

Ellora only looked at Raven's back as the man exited her room, there was a hint of unwillingness if there were other women around Raven besides her.

But Ellora gets rid of that feeling, if there is even a good Eloisa for Raven if the man can get a lover. At this time he did not intend to have a lover, nor did he want to give false hope to Raven.

"In that case, I'll bring the two of them closer together" he murmured.

Ellora had actually felt Raven's gaze and demeanor were now somewhat different to her, the man was getting softer, she knew Raven seemed to like her.

Just then when he noticed the way Eloisa was looking at Raven with a look of adoration, he could immediately tell that Eloisa actually liked Raven as a man rather than as a sister. Because he himself had also been like that when he loved his lover.

As soon as Ellora remembered her lover, she still felt a bit of sadness and loss but it was not as painful as before. Maybe he still feels some kind of trauma, if he has to start loving someone again.

Raven was daydreaming about how she should behave to Ellora when Eloisa was in the house she was staying in. He did not want to make Ellora his servant, let alone have to hurt the woman. "I must soon find a way to drive Eloisa out of this house!"
