"How long will you follow ?" Arielle asked Archie.
"I don’t know. Until I feel bored, maybe," her brother answered casually.
Arielle stopped in front of a jewelry store to see a pair of jewelry in a glass display case. The jewelry had a blue gem, reminiscent of Arielle’s necklace, which belonged to her mother that she had refused to receive from Duke Pellington.
"Oh, where’s your necklace? You’re not wearing it anymore?" Archie asked, looking at Arielle’s bare neck.
"I kept it sowhere safe, I don’t want to make another fuss if my other siblings see it."
"Oh... it’s a necklace from King Ronan, huh?"
Arielle turned around, not answering Archie’s question. Arielle greeted several people there, one of them was the sa fruit seller who was also a spy from the North.
"Girl, you’re taking a walk? Just now, your little maid ca to visit with Tania," said the man who wrapped so apples and then gave them to Arielle.
"Sasha was here? When? Do you know where they are now?"
"I saw them just now, and I think they’re back ho."
"Oh..."
The man looked at the man behind Arielle and bowed respectfully. He recognized Archie as one of the princes of Nieverdell. Even though the man was wearing a hoodie, the golden shimring blonde hair strongly indicated that the man was a mber of the royal family.
Archie led Arielle away when the girl accepted the fruit from the man and offered him to take a bite of one of the apples.
"Hm... I’m getting bored. Now, do you want to co with ?" Archie asked Arielle.
"Where to?"
"Brunch with half a sandwich won’t fill up. I want more," Archie replied with a shrug.
"I don’t have much money."
"I’ll pay. I’m not a moneyless royal like you."
Arielle smiled bitterly as Archie said so. Even so, she still followed Archie to visit a nearby restaurant. That was better than having to go back to the palace and get her to et Andrea or worst of all, Duke Pellington.
***
Sasha and Tania had co ho from work and accompanied Sasha to visit one of the fruit sellers. Sasha had received new information to visit one of the inns soon. The child accompanied Tania back to the palace to inform Arielle of the information he had received.
But when they arrived at the princess’s room, there was no one they could find. Tania fell to the floor seeing Arielle’s ssy room. The bedsheet was out of place.
All of Arielle’s and Sasha’s clothes were taken out and then thrown around the room. Glass jar filled with frostberry jam shattered all over their clothes.
"Who did this?" asked Tania feeling both resigned and scared.
Sasha threw away his fruit basket and looked for the culprit. He asked everyone he t.
"Did you see soone enter Princess Arielle’s room?"
"Did any of Princess Arielle’s siblings co here?"
"Do you know who ssed up Princess Arielle’s room?"
Sasha’s level of tolerance was at its limit. The people who did that had all crossed the line. Sasha didn’t care if they beat him to death, but he wanted to know who did this so that King Ronan could punish them later.
Sasha asked each of the servants one by one. And there was one person that Sasha was very suspicious of right now.
"Olin!" Sasha called to Olin, who was resting in the kitchen.
The woman imdiately stood up when her na was called, but after knowing who was calling her, she sat back down to gossip with her other fellow servants.
An annoyed Sasha walked quickly to the woman and pounded the table in front of Olin.
"I’m talking to you!" shouted Sasha. His roar was deafening.
"What do you want from ?" asked Olin back lazily.
"I know that you are one of the perpetrators of the vandalism of Princess Arielle’s room right?"
Olin looked at her friends with furrowed brows. "What are you saying? I don’t understand."
Sasha pulled Olin’s hand to make the woman see the condition of Arielle’s room.
"Don’t play dumb, I know you did it!"
Olin threw Sasha’s hand, almost making the child fall on the dining table. Sasha growled loudly. He checked the white apron the woman was wearing and tugged at the bottom, causing Olin to scream in surprise.
"Look at this! It’s a red stain by Frostberry jam, isn’t it!"
"I. don’t. know. anything," Olin growled.
SLAP!
Olin slapped Sasha so hard, but Sasha kept pulling the apron off Olin’s body. With flushed cheeks, Sasha imdiately hid the apron behind his body so Olin couldn’t take it again.
"I will take this as evidence! You will regret your decision to treat Princess Arielle like this!"
"HEY!!! Give back my apron or you will die by my hands! Little brat!"
Sasha ran fast to find one of the bodyguards, who was also a spy for the North. He needed imdiate protection. Olin was still chasing him, Sasha will not let her off. He had to imdiately inform King Ronan of this.
"Damn child!" shouted Olin, who kept running after Sasha.
Sasha jumped over the balcony fence and fell over the bushes but soon Sasha got up again to run through the flower garden. Several pairs of eyes saw Sasha running over the flower garden in surprise.
Queen Rosalie, who was enjoying her afternoon tea with her two daughters widened her eyes in surprise.
"I-isn’t that Arielle’s maid!? What is that kid doing with my flowers!!!" cried Queen Rosalie, furious at the little maid’s trampling, and damaging the flowers.
Andrea imdiately got up and called the guards to arrest Sasha imdiately. Sasha continued to run without looking in the direction until his body was thrown backward when it hit sothing hard.
"Aww... my ass..." he growled in pain.
"What are you doing here?"
Sasha looked up and widened his eyes to see King Hugo was staring at him intently.
"Oh, shit," the boy muttered.
