Two Faced Princess
Chapter 33
Apollonia cursed to herself. A banquet is held as a celebration of the princess's birthday ceremony. In other words, a good day to lure someone without being caught. Everyone's attention was drawn to his banquet.
He looked drunk and not fully aware but it was definitely part of his plan.To choose a young maid, take her to the banquet on the grounds as his introduction.It was clear where they were going.
When Apollonia reached the Garden of Serbia she saw two shadows in the darkness. Smaller shadows try to resist larger shadows but are useless.
Apollonia thought of shouting at them but he changed his mind. This park is not even his. What's the point of protecting her?
“Yang Mulia....?”.
Apollonia gasped at the familiar voice behind her. Apollonia turns and finds Nisha, Gareth's younger brother.
“Why are you outside?” ask Nisha curious. Nisha is a kid who hates crowds and commotion, He must be out for a breath of fresh air.
When Apollonia saw his face, an idea flashed through her mind.
“I'm looking for my hair accessories. Looks like I accidentally dropped it in the Serbian Garden. Will you help me?”
Apollonia pointed to the place where Gareth was still visible. Unlike her sister and mother, Nisha is young and innocent. Nisah nodded and ran in the direction Apollonia pointed to.
Moments later, Nisha ran out. His face looked surprised. “Your Majesty! in-in there are people..”.
“What do you mean only members of the royal family can enter this park.”
“I tell you the truth! There's someone inside! How about a thief?”
Nisha's plain face trembled while clutching Apollonia's hand. Apollonia looked at Nisha and tried to put on a frightened face.
“If there is someone.. does anyone break into the royal palace?”
Nisha's eyes widened.
“Then…. I have to tell Prince Paris.”
After Apollonia nodded at her, Nisha marched to the banquet hall and pulled on the arm of Paris who was chatting with several people.
“Yang Mulia.”
Paris Vianas Ferdian's. Next king.
The man who had blonde Apollonia-like hair was surrounded by other young men of his age. Paris was born with light brown hair but the color changed since her mother's death. The king said that the late sign of a member of the kingdom appeared because of the late growth and development. In fact, many people whose characteristics are too late develop so everyone believes his words.
“What's Nisha?’
Paris and the nobles focused their attention on Nisha, just as Apollonia had planned.
“I saw someone in the Garden of Serbia!There must be a thief!.”
“Quiet and explain. Is there only one person? what are they like?”
Apollonia stroked Nisha's head to calm her down.
“They look like women and Men, Your Highness.”
Paris's face turned dark. He already knew that the intruder was Gareth. Paris has always ignored the secret visit of Paris. But since Nisha mentioned the female shadow it would also be difficult to defend Gareth. Acknowledging that he allowed women to enter Princess Ellenia's beloved garden would ruin her reputation.
“Come call the guard.”
Without knowing the thoughts of Paris, the nobles around him felt angry.
“The thief in the Garden of Serbia?! How dare they touch His Majesty's! They must want to die!”
“If they are thieves, why do they go to the park?Looks like one of the guests got drunk and got the wrong way.”
Paris tried to calm them down, but the guests were so upset.
“But Your Majesty, the garden is like a labyrinth. It will be difficult for those who do not know the way to find the entrance. Even if it is not a thief, it must be done by people who have planned with evil intentions. We must make sure that this will not happen again.”
They rush to the Royal Park, Paris Nisha and Apollonia follow behind. As they approached the park entrance they heard a female voice.
Yet the screams that sounded were so suffocating that his words were unclear.
