Chapter 28: Tranquility
"Why are you here?" Said the petite girl in front of him.
"Princess Jayna?! it's nothing. I just want to take so fresh air." Replied Angus.
"Really? How co you could enter this garden? If I am not wrong this is a prohibited area from the guest." Asked the 4th Princess.
"Huh?! I just walk here. Anyway, since I am bothering you then I will leave you. See ya." Replied Angus in a lazy tone.
"Wait… y-you are not bothering . You can stay here." Replied Jayna hurriedly.
"Nah.. I will just go back to the party." Replied Angus casually.
"Y-You… Is it because I am weak right? Now, I am weak that you can ignore like the others. All of this because of.. Because of my wound." As the princess tearing up.
Hearing this, Angus stops his track and looks at the crying princess. "You know what? You are really a troubleso girl."
"Y-You... " Before the princess could finish her sentence.
"Didn't I always ignore you? Why should I pay attention to troubleso girls like you suddenly? It's better if I just sleep around." As Angus shows his yawn.
Looking at this, the princess begins to rember Angus's laid back attitude that keeps ignoring her until now.
"L-Liar… you just pretend like others." [Princess Jayna]
"Why should I lie? Lying is a very burdenso task especially towards a troubleso girl like you. Besides I don't care if you are strong or weak, it has nothing to do with ."
Hearing this, "Is it true? Ever since I got hurt, everyone just..." [Angus]
Before Jayna completes her sentence, "Bla.. Bla.. Bla… keep the bedti story to another person. I am not a shoulder you could cry on a troubleso girl."
"Y-You.. Insolent!! I am also not a troubleso girl." Grumbling the princess.
After that both of them stay silent awkwardly. Before the princess rembers her experience during the last confrontation with Angus.
Although at that ti, she could not control her body, she was still conscious a little bit about the surroundings.
"Hey.. Angus, you don't happen to be… " However she stopped her sentence after seeing Angus sleeping while standing.
Looking at this, she once again has a high blood pressure and wants to kill the boy in front of her.
Before that happened, Angus woke up, "Ahh.. Sorry the ambience is so nice that I just feel asleep right away. Did you happen to say sothing?"
"Grr.. You really…" Once again before she could finish her sentence, Angus suddenly approached her without stopping.
"What.. What do you want?" As the princess was startled by Angus's sudden approach.
"As expected you really are a troubleso girl." Said Angus in front of her face.
"I am not…" [Jayna]
"Close your eyes!!" Interrupt Angus with a stern tone.
"What.." [Jayna]
"I said close your eyes. Quick.. I need to go back to the hall." Said Angus.
At first she is hesitant but knowing that Angus is more than he looks from her last encounter. She closed her eyes while grumbling, " I'll kill you if you do anything weird to ."
"Take a deep breath… then exhale. Deep breath.. Exhale.." Angus keeps saying that while Jayna follows his instruction.
After a while the princess started to get annoyed, "Imagine a place where you can relax, comfortable but still could focus." Instruct Angus.
"Then, try to focus on your mind and clear your mind. The thought that makes you uncomfortable. Clear all of them."
Few monts later, " Now, open your eyes." Instruct Angus.
As the princess opened her eyes, she could calmly see and feel relaxed. Especially when he looks at Angus. She feels safe, calm, and relaxed.
Ever since kid, she has always had a moody personality and always finds a lot of things annoying. However, this is the first ti she could appreciate the surroundings and calm her mind.
"Alright then, I'll be back to the hall." As Angus walks towards inside, waking up the princess from her trance.
Before she could react, Angus himself had already gone from her.
"Angus, What a strange person?" As she went back to appreciate her surroundings.
Back at the hall, Vergil imdiately found Angus leisurely eating so food.
"There you are, the crown prince already arrived. We need to greet him now." as Vergil drags his brother around to greet the crown prince.
The crown prince is a young man in blonde hair that always goes around with a happy smile. Soon, Jason also joins us and we greet the crown together.
"Ahh.. The Victory brothers. I hear about your news. You must be Jason… " As the crown prince praised Jason more.
Jacob and Vergil are happy that their family is respected and their achievent ntioned. While the crown prince uses his glib tongue to praise both of three of us. I just stand silently and hope that this event ends soon.
'This crown prince really has a good glib tongue. Well, none of that is my concern anyway.' Thought Angus while keeping a facade of smiling to not be rude in front of the crown prince.
Soon, they managed to get away and Angus finally could excuse himself to go back ho. As a good brother, Vergil also follows her younger brother to go ho early.
anwhile, at the other gathering where the adult noble gather, an important eting is being held.
In the head of the eting table, sat a bearded man with a robust physic and dangerous aura around him with a crown on his head, The King of Heart Kingdom, King Leon Heart.
The eting is already going for an hour, however they still have not concluded who will accompany the king during the eting at the Roundel city.
All the big players like the four dukes are still silent until now since all of them have a job to stay in the kingdom while the king is absent.
'This eting is really pointless.' Thought Duke Victory.
During this ti, Duke Victory cannot help but rember the secret eting between him and the king himself.
"Jacob, how is your wound?" [King Leon]
"Don't worry, you majesty. it is fully healed already." [Duke Jacob]
"Really, I heard that wounds from high level monsters are difficult to heal." As the king releases his mana aura towards Jacob.
"Don't worry about it. It is already healed completely." As Jacob counters it with his own aura.
Few tense monts later, both of them are laughing together. "Hahahaha…"
"Jacob, how many tis have I said don't use such a title when we are alone." [King Leon]
"Well, I can't help it since it is you who has the crown, isn't it?" Replied Duke Jacob playfully.
"Haa… You never change Jacob. Anyway, Jacob joined during the eting at the Roundel." [King Leon]
"I-Is it an order?." [Duke Jacob]
"No, I asked this as a friend. Rather than surrounded by those snakes, I prefer you by my side." said King Leon earnestly.
