“No matter, ye must take a rest.” Prince Woon told the tribe princess who had drank up a warm medicinal soup. He was not even asking anything about what happened because he was afraid it might trigger another unwanted reactions from her. For that consideration, princess Alminah felt glad with that.
“Yea I must since heaviness could be felt from all of my limbs.” She muttered which made him look worried. “ But do not worry since I am naturally like this at times.”

“What is this all about?” Prince Jion inquired the two lords upon beholding that his private garden wast occupied with people. He just arrived from his travel with the king across lands to arrange some matters on hand. The neighboring kingdoms were quite agitated with the royal families' future alliance to the largest native tribe of the country thus the reason why they were facing a lot of threat among the neighboring countries. Such news only made the king decided to rally or wield the defense army in advance for any unseen attack. Most of the king’s decisions relied on his ten royal ministers which the prince thought to have been ruling the empire instead of the king. ~~~ “They came from across lands I heard, your highness.

After the incident two days ago, princess Alminah sent back Chaerin and Shima to the forbidden valley despite their protest to stay. She heard that there were rumors going round about the palace pointing directly at her. She did not want her friends to be entangled whatever the bad rumors might bring her. She already saw this one coming on her vision but she did not know what wilt be the outcome to all of this.What happened in the museum was a big deal to some of the royals who happened to be there during the time she was suddenly put into immobility because of the painting she saw there. They suspected her to be suffering from a very dangerous malady that might bring forth misfortune among the dwellers on the land.Andsotoaddressthematter,thekinghastarrangedforacourtmeetingwheretheprincesses,princesandkingsamong
King Suk, now alone in the court which was filled with important royal families abroad while ago, was now contemplating about the sudden entrance of the young prince just before the court trial begun. The tribe princess was no where to be seen during the trial yet the young prince did all the talking about the case of the young princess living among the royal family.There were disputes and harsh questions raised against the truthfulness of the words the crown prince spoke, trying to rebuttal and find fault of his words. Yes, there were those kings who cared no less about the rumors but they only attend as to create a chink on the strong armor that the current ruling family was wearing. The empire was like a giant wall and it got stronger upon the time being most especially that the royal family hast weld alliance to the most formidable enemy of the country. The Teuton tribe.Maybe displeased with the unending seas of inquiries, the crown prince breathed a
Jion took his silence first, intently staring at the princess in the eyes before he asked again. "What's with you and east kingdom that you're even willing to dine with robbers instead of clicking glasses in the ball?"“The east kingdom is where the danger reside, your highness.” Princess Alminah said where she was answered with another stretch of silence from the person across her.Jion walked closely towards one of the book shelves, picked a random book then sit back to his large chair, taking his time to process her words.“Howmuchdoyeknowaboutthekingdomtosaythat,littleprincess?Whyareyoulividoftheideaofusgoingthere?”“Livid?” Alminah's brows contorted in confusions on her face before she spoke again. “I am no angry.”Jion rai
After dinner in the kiosk, Jion gone back to his study and once again stared at the painting situated near the door. He didn't intend to have a meal with the princess after he had gone overboard with his emotion in the morning.However, curious as he may seem, he wanted to discover what did the princess know that he did not. For her eyes always tells of tale he always find himself almost compelled into asking.How did she know of king Gadianton? Why such rile against the king and his work of arts as if it was the princess' personal poison to her soul?During the dinner, he had far too many inquiries he planned to throw at the princess. However, he was maimed the whole time while desperately wanting her to just look up from those damn plates and glass of dessert she obviously liked. Maybe if she did, he can find the bearing to finally ask her. But he believed that even if she did look up, he cannot still inquire her in
Fara left the east king and the young prince after such exchange and waited for no one to open the door for her.The crowd in the huge ball room looked up at the tribe princess going out from the king’s private banquet hall.There was a crazy look on the eyes and the aura of animosity around her while she passed by each of those women in expensive dresses and men in nicely tailored suits. As if she was either plague to be avoided or a force to get repelled with, the nobles present would not gone her way as they parted like that of great red sea. She might have the most beautiful face for that night but dangerous enough as to command silence in the crowd until she was out the palace garden.Everybody sighed at her absence in that ball but the wonder on their conversation was still there in hush voices. Most especially that the young she came with hadn't came out from the king's private banquet.  
Later that night, the king of the east was left on now deserted ball. He was sitting on the throne, furiously thinking how can he eliminate the prince so that he can exist in this world. Both of them who were once dead cannot co-exist for long. Either one of them must die for the other one to live.He laughed hysterically, thinking countless ways that he could kill him. How would it be to make the tribe suffer simultaneously. It would be very lovely if she wilt have to die too.“Princessprincess…letusracewithdeathshallwe?”Hespokeandfeltthecoldnessofhisownvoice. ***Sincetheb
