Two Princes One Love 2

Distances

"Around the border safe, Prince. I also cleaned the tree house. We will stand guard below to protect the Prince and Miss during the rest." The man said.

Eh? Me and Zu? In a tree house?

"Thank you for your cooperation, Lee. We'll be there soon. Please help coordinate the soldiers guarding around the area. I'm counting on you." Zu gave the order.

"Ready, Prince!" The man named Lee stood up straight to take orders from Zu.

At that moment I was astonished too. Why is Lee acting this formal to Zu? Zu is his half-brother. Is it possible to be treated differently between half-siblings and siblings? It might be better if I ask him directly.

"Ara, let's go up that tree."

Zu then invited me to climb up the tree house that was in front of us. The tree house was large enough for a few people to occupy. It also seems sturdy for places to put luggage. So yes, I followed him back to the tree house.

How can you build a house on a tree like this?

Arriving under the tree house, I was asked by Zu to climb a ladder made of bonded wood. A little scary if you have to ride it by wearing high heels. Then I immediately put my shoes to Zu and climbed the stairs. I didn't realize he was a prince I had to respect.

I just gave him my shoes. And strangely, my shoe was accepted by him without the slightest refusal. It seemed like he could not refuse what I was giving this. Yes, even if it's just a minute's cheek.

In the tree house, the border forest of Asia and the Land of Flowers...

I finally arrived at the forest tree house on the border. A tree house that is like a house. There was a door, a window, and there was a bed to sleep in, like a small room. I also saw the situation around which surrounded the terrace in front of him. You can relax or breathe fresh air. I really can't believe there's a tree house in the middle of this border forest.

The tree house is made of finely carved wood. Similar to the boards arranged in such a way that it becomes a house. I went into a small room that looked like this. However, before long Zu startled me. He was already behind me.

"This is a safe house against wild beasts, Ara. This area is very dangerous for newcomers. Shu also adopted a lion that came from here. Then I will accompany you myself." He told me.

Oh, so this area is very dangerous for newcomers?

I turned around, facing him. "Prince, but why are we the only ones staying on top. Are all your soldiers standing guard downstairs?" ask him.

I saw Zu smiling as he leaned against the door of the room. "It was already their duty and responsibility to protect the crown prince, Ara. They have signed a death contract with the kingdom. So they'll be keeping watch under no matter what the situation is." Zu told me.

It's so sorry for those soldiers. Are all state tools positioned like this?

Don't know why I feel sorry for the soldiers standing guard downstairs. I also walked past Zu and saw the situation under this tree house. I saw that the soldiers were building an encampment with torches surrounding it. The dark atmosphere of the forest became bright thanks to the light from the torches. I also feel not scary anymore with the situation around. But still feel sorry for them. They also have a family waiting at home.

"Ara, what are you thinking?" Zu asked as I looked at the situation under this tree house.

I turned to face him. "Prince, may we join them?" just ask.

"What's? You want to join the soldiers downstairs?" He was shocked to hear my question.

"He-it." I'm nodding. "There's no harm, is there? Come on!"

Without hesitation I pulled Zu's hand to follow me down this tree house. Zu also seemed unable to refuse my request. So yes already, let's enjoy the view of the soon-to-be-made bonfire in the middle of this border forest. Maybe we can get more familiar.

Entering night...

I sat down while chatting with the soldiers who were here. Zu accompanied me on the side. He seemed to notice me trying to get close to his soldiers. We sat around a big bonfire. This of course makes me dejavu with the event that was once held on the hill of the tree of heaven. Where Zu cheated in order to get the same answer as me. So we could be a couple last night.

I don't think time goes so fast. It feels like just yesterday met at the palace when going to hold a fashion show. And now Zu and I have made wonderful memories together. Only me and her know it.

Until now I have never told Rain or Cloud what really happened between us, because it is very dangerous. Know for yourself how the two princes if already jealous. Although Cloud was soft-hearted, but still a moment of jealousy dominated my world. What if both? Crushed already. I could only stay quiet all night.

"Prince, what do I call your brother?" I asked Zu who was sitting by my side.

The light of the campfire illuminated his pure white face. I saw her smiling sweetly beside me. Maybe he felt like I was back to my true self. An Ara that he knew a long time ago. I don't know, I can't read his heart and mind. I don't know the reason why he smiled at me like that.

"Call me Lee. She's only two years different from me." Zu explained.

"Oh ...." I also have a beard next to him.

I saw Lee shut up. He did not say a word if he was not asked. I was surprised by him myself. Is this really his true nature? Or innate as a palace warrior? I saw Zu was also as mediocre to Lee. However, there was a long distance between them.

Maybe something has happened before. Which is related to the attitude of fellow half-brothers. I hope someday I can find out for myself. It may be an intermediary for the problems that occur. What do brothers hate each other for? Because loving you means more.
