Arielle had never seen Sasha this excited about anything. Even at his farewell party, Sasha wasn’t this excited.
"When will Lord Kael’s sister arrive?" Sasha asked impatiently.
"At lunchti. Maybe from today she will stay in the palace. Miss Ai will use your old room because it is the most suitable room for the guest."
"Well... if I could stay the night, I’d really like to spend ti with you while talking about a lot of things."
Arielle laughed, and so did Tania.
"You already have a new house, and you must have your own room there, right?" Tania asked.
"That’s right. My room might be smaller than the room in the palace, but Papa allowed to keep a lot of toys in the room. And there is no Tania who will nag at when I don’t tidy up my toys, bleee." Sasha stuck his tongue out at Tania. Arielle laughed out loud when Tania put her hands on her waist while putting on an angry face that Sasha ignored.
"But still... I have no friends to play with. Here, I can play with the knights. I also still want to go camping with Lord Kael like before," Sasha said dejectedly. The boy plopped down on the table.
"What if I give you another invitation if Lord Kael goes camping?" Arielle asked, making Sasha’s sad face beco more cheerful.
"Is that true? I will be very happy, Your Highness!" Sasha exclaid too enthusiastically.
"Alright, but you have to learn to tidy up your own room first, so you won’t beco a burden to Lord Kael when you go camping with him later."
Sasha nodded quickly, holding out his pinky, and Arielle accepted it. They had made a deal.
Lucas ca to inform that Miss Aie had arrived. Sasha got up to greet Lucas, who was surprised by the boy’s presence. After hugging Lucas tightly and talking for a while, Sasha returned to Arielle, pulling her to et Miss Aie right away.
"Alright, alright... Miss Aie isn’t going anywhere," Arielle said, trying to calm Sasha, who couldn’t wait to et Aie.
In the reception room, Aie had been waiting alone. When the door opened, she imdiately stood up to greet the princess and... a child she didn’t know. Aie smiled back at the boy, who was looking at her with sparkling eyes.
Sasha’s heart pounded when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him. He let go of Arielle’s hand to hold his heart, which was beating faster than usual. Did he fall in love for a second ti? Sasha rembered this was how he felt when he first t the princess.
On the night of the festival, he was amazed that Arielle gave up her front place for Sasha so that Sasha could watch the show in the town square. When he looked at Arielle up close, Sasha felt his heart pounding like he was feeling right now. At that ti, Sasha even gave a flower to Arielle. After that, he found out that the princess was the king’s fiancée.
"Miss Aie," Arielle said. "Welco, please have a sit," she added, asking the girl to sit back down.
"How are you, Your Highness?"
Even though he wasn’t the one being asked, Sasha felt his face was warm, seeing how elegant Miss Aie was.
"I’m pretty good. How about you?"
"Oh, I’m fine. Even though there was a slight disturbance earlier when I briefly stopped in the city."
"Disturbance?"
Miss Aie shook her head, not wanting to talk about it. She would end up burning with anger. "It’s nothing, Your Highness. Just a small, aningless thing."
Aie turned to Sasha, who kept looking at her with sparkling eyes. The girl smiled and Sasha imdiately hid behind Arielle’s body, feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, I didn’t know you had a brother?" Aie asked.
She looked at the boy and Arielle in turn. Both had very different features. There wasn’t a single trace of resemblance to show they were siblings. However, there was no way anyone else could be this close to a princess without being related, right?
Aie tried to rember Kael’s stories about the brother of the princess, but she just rembered that her brother was a walking iceberg. Cold and hard to talk to. They only spoke once when the man picked her up. During their journey, the man told her about how amazing the princess was.
"Let introduce you. This is Sasha. I already consider him like my brother," Arielle said, making Sasha turn around with sparkling eyes. He was touched by the princess’s words. After His Majesty the King considered him as a friend, now Sasha got a precious gift as the princess considered him like a brother.
"Sasha? His na is beautiful. Nice to et you, Sasha. I am Aie. From today, I will beco Princess Arielle’s personal assistant."
Sasha nodded, still hiding himself behind Arielle’s body. "Nice to et you."
"Sasha said that he was looking forward to eting you, Miss Aie"
"Your Highness ..." Sasha whined, feeling embarrassed when Arielle suddenly talked about it.
Arielle put her fingers in front of her lips, holding back a laugh at Sasha’s shy attitude. Just a few minutes ago, the boy was full of enthusiasm to et Aie, and now he was hiding behind her body.
"Is that true?" Aie asked while tilting her head to peek at Sasha, who buried his face in Arielle’s back. The boy’s face was as red as a tomato, so he wanted to hide it from Aie.
Aie smiled, seeing Sasha’s pale earlobes turned red. The boy was so adorable, she thought.
"Right, Sasha said he wanted to know your secret about how to take Lazarus down."
"Lazarus?"
"Sasha has a dream of defeating Lazarus soday."
"Wow, what a wonderful dream. Do you hate Lazarus, Sasha?" asked Aie, who beca very enthusiastic.
"I-I don’t hate him. I-I just don’t like that man," Sasha stamred.
"Hm..." Aie rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Ah, but that’s enough. I’m one level higher than you. I hate Lazarus."
Arielle blinked her eyes in surprise at the clear statent from Miss Aie. The girl even smiled prettily.
