Sseett!!
An arrow shot out of my bow and... Yeahh!! On target!
I was practicing archery to fill my time. People in the palace thought I was a woman learning archery because I was bored, but the real reason was to bully me. Who knows, my archery skills now will be useful in the future. No one knows when danger will come, especially in this hate-filled palace. I also practice horse riding, who knows if needed I can escape on horseback.And the last five years my skills of archery and horse riding I think it is quite good. Yes, without feeling I've been through my life in this palace for five years.
Prok.prok..prokk...!
There was applause from beside me.
"Waaah... The more days Isse's getting the better." Oscar said with admiration for me.
I practiced archery with Oscar today and the one who clapped that hand was him. For five years my relationship with Oscar has been very good. He who grows up still follows as he once did.
"of course... I've even beaten you so many times." I said with pride in myself.
"Other times I'll definitely beat you, brother." Oscar sounded very sure.
"Are you sure? You can't even beat me in a horse race." Sahutku.
"Ah... Alright, brother is invincible. I have no talent at all in physical matters." Her speech.
"I know you'd rather use your brain than your muscles. So I suggest you find a strong woman who can protect you, Oscar." I said with a smile to her. And Oscar knows that I'm hurting him.
"Sir...!!" Oscar was upset and I laughed out loud.
"Stop laughing... Why does he like to make fun of me?!" He said again with funny bulging cheeks. Even though he was more mature than five years ago when you first met, Oscar was still like a cute little brother.
"Pff... Because you're so cute when you're sulking like this." I said while pinching her gnash cheek.
"Ow! Brother Isse... I'm not a kid anymore...!" He cried with a face that looked annoyed because I always treated him like a child.
"But to me you're still Oscar's son..." My mouth with lips still smiling wide.
"Haaah... This brother's base. I'm tired, let's just rest." Said Oscar, who gave up on my behavior. He was a good boy, although I liked to tease him but he was never angry at all. Huhh... Is he really the son of his mother? Queen Media was very lucky to have a son as good as her.
"All right, let's take a break." My solute. And we both put down our arrows, then rest on a bench in the archery area of the palace.
"Sir Isse..." Call her.
"Hmm...?" My answer.
"Son would have heard that the Empire's territory in the Northern border area was under attack by the Barbarians and there was a war there." He said while looking straight ahead.
"Of course, everyone's been talking about it lately." My answer.
"But brother, does Isse know if Leon's brother..."
"Will be sent there to fight." My voice cut out Oscar's words.
"Ahh, I've expected it if Isse's sister already knows." Oscar said, lowering his back like a limp.
Leonard is eighteen this year. And according to the original novel's story, this was the time set by Queen Media to send Leonard to the battlefield.
"Son Isse looks so calm, aren't you worried about Leon's brother?" Ask Oscar who was so surprised by my attitude.
"That's because Leonard will return to bring victory." Answer me with a smile.
"Although still it is a battlefield." Oscar said with a worried face.
"We are the Imperial family, although not on the battlefield but danger always awaits us." I said to make Oscar not worry about his brother too much.
"Yes, I know that." Legally.
"Don't worry too much and trust your brother, he'll definitely bring back the victory." I said, patting Oscar on the shoulder.
"Ah... Wish I could always be as optimistic as you are, brother." Oscar.
"Haha... I'll teach you." I said while laughing.
"Ughs... What the fuck?" Oscar narrowed his eyes, and I still laughed.
Yah... There is nothing to worry about because according to the original novel Leonard will bring the famous Barbarians very strong on the battlefield. Then he returned to victory and became a war hero. After that Leonard was crowned Crown Prince.
Ahhe... If only I could tell you all that. But I can't do it. After that, I'm going to get divorced from Leonard and live peacefully in a small, quiet area.
...****************...
At night, as usual, Leonard and I would sleep in the same room and bed. That's because we're adults and don't need separate rooms anymore. After all me and Leonard had now become close, it happened after we went outside the palace both. Since then Leonard has kept no distance from me. But as a friend not as a husband and wife, because until now Leonard had never touched me at all. And that's what I expected, because anyway we're getting a divorce, so that romantic story between us won't hold.
Leonard was sitting on the same bed as me. As usual Leonard would read books and talk to me before we went to bed. But until now he had not discussed about himself going to war at all and it was very upsetting to me. I thought he and I were close friends, did I think that?
"I should have said that to you First Prince." I said a little bit.
"First Prince?" Leonard.
"Louisse, are you mad at me?" Ask.
"You think for yourself!" I turned my face away from her.
"Did I make a mistake with you? Then I'm sorry, but I don't know what my fault is." Her speech.
"Why don't you tell me anything if you're going to war?!" I asked in annoyance.
Leonard fell silent and closed the book he was reading.
"Since when have you..."
"I found out this morning, although we were related like a friend but anyway I'm your wife Leonard... I should've known this straight from you, not from anyone else." I said very upset.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you because you'd know anyway because I'd still go and you wouldn't have to worry about it." Leonard spoke calmly, but still he was only an eighteen-year-old, where there might not be any worry in his heart.
"Don't misunderstand me! Who's worried about you? Because after all you will still return with victory." My words just now surprised him a little, maybe two did not expect that I would say such a thing.
"It seems I have to prepare a victory robe that I embroidered myself as long as I wait for you to return. Because you need it for the welcoming parade." I said while thinking if I should practice embroidery even harder. It's because I'm so weak at embroidery, but for Leonard's sake I'll try harder to do it.
"Pff... Thank you for thinking about it even though I'm not sure how it turned out." Leonard said with a mocking laugh. I'm a little upset anyway... But seeing him laughs makes me sad. He was so to cover up his anxiety. He is still a teenager.
"You don't have to worry, because this brother will always pray for you to be okay there." I said as I hugged his suddenly stiffened body.
"Ahh, it turns out that she's this whole thing until her whole body stiffens." I thought in my heart.
"Leonards... Do I need to massage your body for a while to be more relaxed because it seems like your muscles are a little tense."
I offered it to Leonard and was about to start massaging him, but he suddenly stood up and surprised me.
"Louisse, I'm going out for a while, there's something I forgot in my study, so you go to bed first." He said suddenly without looking at me but I could see his reddened face from the side.
"Yes my... Is she moved by my words and wants to cry somewhere else alone?" I murmured in a heart that felt sorry for him.
"But Leonard, you can use my shoulder to lean on if you're feeling down." Lick him.
"I'm okay, you sleep first don't have to wait for me." Leonard walked toward the door, but I had not said anything else he had come out and closed the door quickly.
"But Leon..."
"Huff... Maybe he really wants to be alone right now." Mumbles.
...****************...
Behind the door Leonard stood pecking while holding his chest that was pounding.
"Louisse... Do you want to play with me?" Leonard lirih.
Seriate....

NB: Author and Oscar Chat
Author: "Is Louisse stupid? Or is it insensitive?"
Oscar: "He always called me a little boy, now who deserves to be a kid?"
Author: "Yyyy.. I agree."
Oscar: "Didn't he make Isse's sister like that? The author's basis is not pekanya." Oscar muttered softly as he glanced at Author.
