chapter 10- pick up line

And last, we are in Oloisean land! I haven’t seen much of that since that night we arrived. I could no longer see that scene. Except for the bright lights in the Oloisean Capitol. Like Cyan, the people here are also very lively. I also see flags. A sign that the festival will be held on the upcoming birthday of their prince. I could no longer take my eyes off the window. The only difference is that my siblings keep me locked up because I might open the window again without permission or slip through my upper body again. I know I did that wrong. I just can't control myself every time I'm excited or overly satisfied with what I see and discover.

The big gate of the Palace opened spontaneously! I can't help but be amazed at how beautiful it is! I suddenly remembered the New Michael Palace in Russia because of its size and beautiful construction! I almost buried my face in the window. It's like I want to roam later, I still have energy left.

When the carriage stopped in front of the entrance to the Palace, we went down one by one. The door of the Palace opened spontaneously. A woman came out of there. Wow, she’s beautiful. She used to be a queen in my eyes. His smile was wide as he greeted us. So, this is what an Impetratris does?

"Welcome, Emperor Vencel Eryndor." his voice was gentle but lively. He turned to me. "So are you, princes and lone princesses of Cyan."

We greeted him by bowing to him. Now we will do these things because we no longer have this territory.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Empetratis Reralla Albelin." Vencel said in front.

"I'm sure you're tired from your trip. Let me take you to your room." he had already walked. We just followed him.

I watched my siblings. Tiredness and drowsiness were already on their faces. Even Prince Calevi could no longer restrain himself from yawning and covering his mouth. I intentionally slowed my pace. I don't think they hear me anymore. I roll my eyes at every step we take. I stopped walking. I looked to my right. There's also a path that I have no idea where it's going. I turned off the road. I chose to walk it. I’m just curious where this road is going. My forehead furrowed as I reached the end of it. Imperial garden turned out to be its exit. I continued my approach. I also overlooked the vast lake of the royal garden. There are big trees here too. I chose to approach that. One of my palms landed on a tree.

"It's beautiful ..." I was out of my mind when I saw the reflection of the moon on the lake.

"Indeed beautiful."

I almost jumped in panic when I heard a man's voice. I immediately looked for where it came from. "W-who are you ...?"

"I'm here." suddenly something fell from a height that surprised me even more.

I gasped as I rubbed my chest because I felt like my heart was going to come out in shock. I looked at the bulk of the man in front of me. A teenager ... Wait! "I-you ..." I said softly. Slowly my index finger landed on him. That look. The young man with white and smooth skin. Her red hair dances in the air. His nose was pointed, his eyebrows were quite thick, and his eyes were as green as a shiny emerald! "You are ..."

He stood up straight. He just seemed to ignore her when he jumped out of the tree. She smiled sweetly at me. He bent down as he held her hip. I backed away with watery eyes. "Finally, we meet again."

My forehead furrowed. He's really weird, anytime!

"Don't you know I'm waiting for your arrival?"

"Why are you waiting for me?"

He let out a deep sigh. He brought his face even closer to mine. "In fact most I hate of all is to wait. But if waiting means being with you, I'll wait."

I blinked. Gradually I felt my whole face heat up when I realized something. Because of the overflowing emotion no one said I punched him in the face! He fell down and was covered in his face. I heard him moan. I felt like I was out of breath when I did that thing. I'm out of breath. "I'm too young to flirt! There you are!" heavy steps I let go away from him. But fearing that he might catch up with me, I ran away.

That shy boy. Young people, know how to pick up line!

I can't get rid of the irritation. I was still letting go of heavy steps. I returned to the wide hallway of the Palace of the Albelins. I don’t know why I got so annoyed with him so I punched that young man. Was it because he surprised me so much or because of his flirtation? Tch.

I stopped walking. I clenched my fists and stomped on the floor to vent my extreme annoyance. I was also able to let out a deep sigh. Next thing I did I rolled my eyes around. My jaw dropped then stiffened in my stance when I realized I could no longer remember where our room would be. My biggest problem is that there are no people here or even a maid so I have nothing to ask.

I nodded then approached a wall. My palms rested there. I sighed a little, preparing myself because I wanted to bump myself. I never thought my mischief would get here.

I took a sip of air and then I would punch myself as punishment for what I did. I firmly close my eyes. I was about to punch myself but suddenly something soft blocked my forehead. I also quickly opened my eyes. I tried to look at what was on my forehead. Huh, hand? I followed to see who owns it. My mouth opened when I saw a new face. He was a boy about my age. He looked at me coldly. His hair was black, his skin white and smooth. I couldn’t help but look into his eyes. It's hazel brown eyes. It looks like a carbon copy of the crown prince of the Oloisean, Prince Dilston. But why does he seem to shrink?

I looked away from behind him. There was another girl in the corner. I can’t see him well because he hides like he’s still embarrassed. Wait, who are they?

"What are you doing?" the boy asked me coldly.

Before I could answer his question I looked again at his hand that still remained glued to my forehead. I went home and then I deleted it myself. He withdrew his hand. He folded his arms in front of me. Looking forward to my answer. "I'm lost." my sparing response. Then I watched him closely. He was wearing a simple white long sleeves polo shirt, pair of shorts and suspenders. Only now did I notice that his hair was quite long and wavy.

"But this is no longer the way to the guest rooms." his cold promise.

Did I mention, I'm really lost. Especially since I no longer have this territory.

"Based on what you're wearing, you're not an ordinary person. Whose child are you?" he asked next.

I was about to answer when the girl with him suddenly spoke. "Brother Luth ..." his voice trembled when he was called.

One of my eyebrows fluttered. Ah, so ... Luth is the name in front of me now. Okay, copy.

I wondered more why that Luth was a little confused when he visited the girl. Concern was on its face. "Does it still hurt, Heidi?" he asked gently.

Luth and Heidi are their names. Based on my observation, they are siblings because of almost their features. The girl is like a girl version of Prince Dilston. I caressed my chin. I kept staring at them. But because my curiousity was working again, I stepped closer to them. "What's the problem?" I can't help but ask.

They looked at me at once. I was a little taken aback when I saw how a boy named Luth looked at me intently. "Can you stay away from us?"

"But ..." I shifted my gaze to the girl. He was already bent over while squatting on his tyan. "Why is he in pain? Maybe I can help."

"Huh? What can you do to help with his pain?" Luth was a little angry. Why is this one so angry?

Humalukipkip ako. "The question is, why does his tyan hurt?" I gave a cold look. I saw how shocked he was that I made him feel like he couldn’t shout at me.

"I-I'm hungry ..." the girl said weakly. "We haven't eaten for two days."

I was shocked when I heard that revelation. I stared at the siblings in front of me. What did he say? They had no food for two days? But I think, with the pomp and wealth of the Albelins, they will certainly not go hungry in this state. The question is, who exactly are these siblings? What exactly is their personality?

I took a deep breath. Someone grabbed me from my little sling bag. I chineck if I have anything left there. Jackpot! It was abducted and handed over to them. I could see how surprised and surprised they were when I handed them the rest of my lollipops.

"W-what's that?" Luth asked.

I sucked. "Lollipop. That's food too. I made those myself." I said.

He stared at me for a long time, as if he was studying whether I was telling the truth or not. Eventually he was able to accept the candies I made. He removed the wrapper and gave it to his brother. I smiled a little when I saw how Luth was cared for and cared for his younger brother.

Suddenly I remembered my siblings as well as Vencel. "Oh, where can I find the guest rooms?" I will ask. I need to grab this chance, I think they know the ins and outs of this Palace.

He pointed the right way. I really listened to him carefully. At these times, my companions must have been worried and wanted me.

"Prince Luth! Princess Heidi!" I heard a woman's voice. I looked at the source of that voice. A maid approaching in our direction. He stopped right in front of us looking exhausted. "I've been looking for you for a while. O-it's time for you to go back to your room." he immediately grabbed the two children and left in front of me.

I looked at them as they walked away. I couldn’t help but frown. I grabbed my chin. My eyes narrow. Based on my observation. Why does it seem like a big sin for me to see the prince and princess? Why for two days did they not eat? Why does the royal family just let it go? What is this? Another mystery?

My shoulders sagged and then I left so that I could return to my family.

**

I am thankful that I have arrived in the room. Another good thing is, Vencel wasn't angry that I suddenly disappeared earlier while taking us to the room. I just slipped in with a beautiful view that caught my attention, then I asked where they were. And most of all, he bit into my excuse.

Our personal maids took a bath and dressed me. Vencel said that the Albelins had prepared dinner for us and then they would take us to our room. A few minutes later the food they were referring to arrived. The food served on the table here in the guest room also looks delicious. I was not made to sit in Vencel's chair, but on his lap. I no longer refused because sometimes he would do that to me when we ate at our own Palace. Once again Raegan, Eomund, and Cederic are jealous. They want me to sit on their lap. I, on the other hand, just follow the flow of life.

"Papa? I have a question." I suddenly said while we were in the middle of a meal.

He stopped sucking then looked at me. He was looking forward to what I had to say. "What's my youngest's question?"

"How many children does the Emperor of Oloisean have?"

He leaned back in his chair. "They only have one child. Then I never heard that he had children even with his concubines." he answered softly. He stroked my hair. "Why did you ask?"

"Hmm ... When I got lost earlier, I met two children. I helped them because one of them was sick because of hunger. I gave him food. Then, an assistant came from there. in this Palace. He calls the two children prince and princess ... "I innocently told him.

From what I said, I felt that he was stunned. He seemed surprised to learn that the Emperor of Oloisean had other children besides Prince Dilston who had attended my baptism. "I don't know about that thing. I just heard, right from you, Rini."

My shoulders sagged. "Why don't they attend even once on my birthday, papa?" my next question.

His eyes narrowed. He was depressed, he seemed to be thinking deeply.

"Papa?" I wondered to call him. "Is there a problem? Are you all right?"

His consciousness returned. He took a deep breath. He stroked my hair again. "I thought a little, my youngest. But this is all I can say, you are not really the son of an ordinary man that others think. But the truth is you are really the son of the late Empress of Cyan."

I was stunned by what I heard. "A-I'm really the son of ... Empress?" I repeat.

He nodded. "Your mother may be two, but the blood that really lingers in you is that of me and your mother, the former Empress."

But who is Lorah?

I want to ask that but I feel like something is stuck in my throat. I want to take this opportunity to know everything especially about my personality. Who really is a Princess Styriniana Eryndor of Cyan. Instead I turned my gaze to the food.

**

It was noon when I woke up. Vencel was no longer beside me when I opened my eyes. Maybe he was busy earning money or he had a meeting with other Emperors of each continent, as well as with the rulers of other countries. Or maybe he was already ahead of breakfast and didn't even disturb my sleep. This isn’t the first time I’ve been next to him in sleep. Ever since I turned four years old I have been sleeping in his room. He said it was for my safety. Still not missing the people trying on my life. It is better to be careful. I moved slightly then got up. I rolled my eyes. I even heard Nesta greet me. She said that my bathing suit and the clothes I was going to wear were ready.

I also had breakfast here in the room. But in the middle of my meal came my brothers as well as Prince Calevi. They invited me to visit the Oloisean Capitol. They also said goodbye to Vencel. It allowed them. The weather is good today and we will definitely be able to buy a lot in town. They seem to know exactly what I want. Because of that I hastened my meal. I felt excitement again. By the way, Vencel had a condition before he finally allowed us to leave. We had to bring a soldier and helpers. He is surely being cautious for me, huh. Well, all right.

'Wow!' ejaculated my mind as we stepped into the Oloisean Capitol. I rolled my eyes around. My eyes are already glistening with what I see. There are many food stalls, there are also many shops that can be entered.

"Yuhooo!" I couldn’t stop running and leaving them.

"Wait, Rini!" at the same time my older brothers shouted loudly. Confused to chase me.

I stopped running. I faced them with a wide smile on my lips. I was even able to wave at them. I was caught in my pink victorian bonnet.

"Let's hurry, brothers. It's a waste of time. Prince Dilston's birthday celebration will be held tonight!" I ejaculated loudly at them.

They laughed at what I did. "Is that really the reason or just can't wait to get into the stores?" Eomund spoke, smiling. Excited at my expression.

Okay, I really don’t have a loophole in this. "Just, I want to taste the food, see what good things are while we're here." glad I promised. I rolled my eyes around. Lots of buildings. I don't think we can get into that in a short time. Maybe we can get there if we stay here a few more weeks.

We started entering stores selling clothes. We each find something nice to wear when we get Cyan back. The design is amazing. I bought a little. As well as accessories. Next we tasted the foods. Streetfoods! I don't feel like eating in restaurants because there are already a lot of people, definitely foreigners or tourists from different countries are flooding costumers inside.

When we got tired we decided to sit on the park benches. Eomund, Cederic and Prince Calevi still look energetic, they’ve even managed to play chase or whatever. I drink quietly. Watching my siblings. Raegan was next to me, he regained his strength. Maybe he couldn’t handle my energy wandering around. Like me he also drinks the drink we bought. I just silently stared at him. I watched every expression on his face.

Of our siblings, he is the only one heir to apparent the throne and crown of Cyan. But during my time with him under the same roof, he is a composed and responsible older brother not only for me, but also for Eomund and Cederic. Not only is he responsible as an older brother, he is also a responsible son and heir. He is expected to follow in Vencel's footsteps on the march and be the leader of the strongest Empire of the Eryndors. Sometimes, he's reserved. The only sad thing for him is that he may not have enjoyed his childhood because since he was born into this world, he has borne the responsibility of not just one country. Aside from Vencel, he has also seen and been with the late Empress.

I moved closer to him then leaned myself on his side. "Are you tired, Rini?" he asked softly.

I shook. I smiled. "Are you okay, brother?" worried I asked him.

He smiled as well. "When you're tired, tell me right away so I can take you back to your room." he stroked my hair, as Vencel does to me.

"Brother, weren't you angry with me when I was born into this world?" I suddenly ask, concern in tone.

"What do you mean?"

I looked up at him. Fear was already on my face. "Because they said ... I'm the son of an ordinary person. I'm not really full of blue blood like what I hear. My mother is different ... Miss Lorah. Aren't you angry that we are different mother? "

His forehead furrowed. He turned to me and then touched both my shoulders. "What you're hearing is wrong, Rini. Our mother isn't really different. In fact, you're really a blue blood."

I was stunned. That’s exactly what Vencel told me. That their blood of the former Empetratris is on me. But what is Lorah’s persona? Why do the maids say, even Nesta says she is my mother? What is really true?

He let out a deep sigh. "I'm not the right person to explain those things to you. Only our father, the Emperor can tell the truth. So don't think about those things too much. No matter what happens, even turn around No matter the world, no matter if our mother is different or if you are not related, I will still choose you as my sister, Rini. " then our eyes hit.

At what Raegan said, I couldn’t help myself to cry in front of him. He was alarmed and tried to calm me down. I grabbed her dress. I even pressed my face to his chest. "Thank you, brother Raegan. No matter what happens, I never regret that you became my brother. I will still ask that you be my brother."

"Thank you very much, Rini. And you came into my life ... Into our lives."

I turned my face away from him. I looked at him. Even with my face soaking wet from my tears I was still able to smile at him. After a while I slowly closed my eyes. I leaned my head on his chest.
