章 9: THAT'S HER
Alen's words made the king and queen smile.
'' Of course . I promise to give the future empress my kingdom. '' King looked at Olivia and replied with a smile.
At that moment a servant came and informed the king of arrival of a certain man .with the king's permission , the man entered the dining hall. He was about seventy years old man and looked like an adviser of the king. when he saw the old man , he saw that the look on the king's face changed and Alen became suspicious.
Alen came out of the dining hall and looked at Alen and left.
.....
'' You have been here long time. '' king said.
'' yes . Your majesty ''
''what's the matter ? '' asked king.
'' I think you know why I came. '' old man said with a sly smile.
'' I also saw what happened last night , has that thing resurfaced ?'' the king asked curiously.
'' According to what happened last night, that power has returned to world.'' old man replied.
''Then we have to seize that power this time. many have been waiting for this power for hundreds of years .''
'' I know Your Majesty ''
'' How to get it ? we need to own it soon. because the whole empire knows what happened yesterday. Therefore , they will inevitably come to the kingdom of Ailech to gain power. ''
''of course. they already know that power came from Ailech . we must first find out who has this power .''
'' Yes . but how ? '' king asked.
'' Your Majesty ,perhaps with the fourth princess .... '' he looked at the king .
'' No she has not had clue about it for so long . I watched her from the day she left the palace. she is normal person .''
'' I have a way of finding out who has that power .''
'' Then I trust you. Find it as soon as possible .''
While Alen was stroking the his eagle's head , Dio came forward like a shadow and bowed.
'' Your Highness , I could not hear what they were saying. but I'm sure they were talking about the fourth princess.''
'' fourth princess ? '' Alen asked .
'' Hmmm ''
After thinking for a while , Alen said '' Dio , go find out about the fourth princess secretly .''
Then Dio bowed and walked out.
' I'm going to find out what the king is trying to hide from me '' Alen thought.
.....
Ashlyn had been staring at the golden rose since that morning. she though about Alen. she regretted not being able to thank him for helping her. she wished she could see him again. even that little moment spend with him was an unforgettable memory for her.
'' I've seen him somewhere '' she muttered.
'' My lady , the engagement ceremony will begin in a few hours.''
'' All right. then let's go and get ready.''
Dio arrived just as Alen was getting ready to attend the engagement ceremony.
'' Your Highness , I found out about the princess. king Hendry had a reason to hide her from you .''
'' what is that ?'' Alen asked curiously.
'' Queen Elisa and the mother of the fourth princess have been best friends since childhood.''
'' I had never heard of it.'' Alen thought.
'' But why king trying to hide her from you ?'' Dio asked.
'' He invited me with an ulterior motive. he wants me to marry princess Olivia. for that reason he tried to hide her from me. he must have thought I would marry the fourth princess when I found out the truth. '' Alen explained.
'' Let's go to ceremony now. I feel like she's coming to the ceremony too.'' Alen said wearing a mask in front of the mirror.
'' She ?'' Dio asked in surprise.
''hmmm'' Alen nodded.
After announcing Alen's arrival , he entered the ballroom. all the guest who were present drew their attention to him. the young girl in attendance were fascinated by Alen's handsomeness.
Alen wearing a black suit with gold trimmings emerged from shadows. his black hair fell on his forehead and added to his good looks. Alen walked solemnly to his seat ,not caring for anyone there.
Moments later, Ashlyn's arrival was announced.
'' Ashlyn Rose Wilmot , the fourth princess of the Ailech kingdom , arrives at the ceremony hall ''
her arrival caught everyone's attention . the reason was that no one had seen her outside the palace. she was wearing a white ball gown adorned with floral pattern in blue. her brown hair was unkempt and had a band tied around her forehead.
This is the first time she is participating in such a ceremony. so she was nervous. she gripped the gown tightly with her finger and began to move forward. At that moment the hall was filled with murmurs.
'' This is also the fourth princess''
''She does not look royal''
'' That's true. I do not think she will ever get married.''
'' Yes. who wants to marry someone who lived in a village like this ?''
The ballroom suddenly noisy , and Alen looked at it.
'' That's her.''
seeing Ashlyn, he was overjoyed.
Ashlyn went straight to the king and bowed.
'' Fourth princess Ashlyn '' said the king.
Hearing this , Alen thought, '' Then she was the fourth princess''
Ashlyn talked to king and went to the seats at the far end of the ballroom. from there she stared at the couples on the dance floor. seeing this, Alen got up from his seat and stood behind her.
''Then we will meet again.''
Ashlyn looked back , realizing she had heard a familiar voice. Alen put a loving smile on his face and stared at her. the smile on her face as soon as she saw he made Alen happy. she barely stopped smiling when she realized she was smiling with him.
'' Hmmm '' she nodded.
Unable to think what to say , she looked down in embarrassment. realizing she was nervous . Alen extended his hand and invited her to dance with him .
Ashlyn looked at his face in surprise. then Alen smiled . Alen led her to dance floor as she placed her hand on his hand.
As soon as the two of them arrived on the dance floor, everyone's attention was drawn to them . Alen grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer to him. she looked into his eyes at that moment. the music started playing, they started dancing.
'' This is the first time.'' he asked , noticing the look on her face.
''Hmmm''
Suddenly Alen smiled.
'' why are you laughing ?'' she asked sweetly.
'' I remembered as much as you talked yesterday. but today not a word is spoken.'' he said.
she too had a smile on her face at that time....
