Prince Elio
The Princess of Kanzia

Today was the training schedule of the simulated wars of the princes in the Black Cart Palace.

The princesses sat on the edge of the field while watching the princes who were ready to use war clothes and swords in their right hands.

The princesses were waiting for this activity, they were all enthusiastic about seeing the prowess of the princes while they were unsheathing swords.

Although this is a simulation, the princesses are never absent for this one activity.

"Relax Princess Athanasia, I feel like this bright morning will show you the magic, the paper scroll you hold must contain the name of Prince Elio" Princess Quely said.

"Right, you don't have to worry about the princess" Princess Hera added.

"Can we request the contents of the paper roll?" ask Princess Kanzia.

"If I could, I would have done it a long time ago." replied Princess Lizzie.

"I know who you'll choose" seduced Princess Jannesa

"Who?" challenge Princess Lizzie

"Prince Raynor! Hahaha, isn't it?" said Princess Jannesa

Princess Lizzie immediately opened her eyes wide and closed Princess Jannesa's mouth using her hands

"Hey, don't say it out loud" said Princess Lizzie.

"Oh.. So what you're talking about all this time is Prince Raynor, Princess Lizzie?" ask Princess Athanasia who is sitting next to Princess Lizzie's right.

"Can you be a secret, isn't this Princess Athanasia?" said Princess Lizzie quietly

Princess Athanasia smiled sweetly, then her gaze returned to Prince Elio who was serious about simulating this war.

(Why Prince Elio is so handsome, plus he is trying so hard.) Inner Princess Athanasia.

...****************...

The simulation of the war was over, the princesses stood up from their seats and gave their best applause, cheers and smiles for the hard work of the princes.

A palace maid came with a tray containing a paper roll, followed by another palace maid carrying a tray of mineral water and a small towel.

Princess Athanasia hopes the scroll she holds contains the name of someone she loves-Prince Elio.

When they are welcome to open the paper. Princess Athanasia immediately smiled widely and walked towards the prince's name.

The prince was lying on the grass while closing his eyes, leaving his body exposed to the morning sun.

Sweat poured out on his body, even his face was also filled with sweat. But his eyes opened when the sunlight turned dark as if blocked.

"Daughter Athanasia?" prince Elio.

"We met" said Princess Athanasia

Prince Elio immediately sat down, Princess Athanasia also did the same. He sat down in front of Prince Elio, revealing his best smile.

"This is for you"

Princess Athanasia thrust the mineral water and the small towel she held onto Prince Elio.

"Thank you" replied Prince Elio.

"Sama-sama" Princess Athanasia replied gently.

"You worked hard today, you look good and professional. I admire you." said Princess Athanasia.

"You're too impressed with me, I'm not like that. After all, people like me don't deserve your admiration." replied Prince Elio.

"You don't deserve me to admire, because you deserve me to love more" Princess Athanasia said with a sweet smile.

Prince Elio looked down and smiled. Then he lifted his head and turned to look at the beautiful princess in front of him.

"Since when have you been a tombal, princess?" ask Prince Elio

"Every night, because I read a book about seduction and flirting." replied Princess Athanasia.

"Hahaha, you're so cute princess" Prince Elio said.

Prince Elio patted Princess Athanasia on the shoulder, making the long-haired Princess brown, a small, sweet and beautiful face surprised.

Highlight brown eyes instantly widened when receiving the treatment.

"Is it boring to get a scroll with my name?" ask Prince Elio.

Princess Athanasia was instantly aware of her daydream, and answered Prince Elio's question.

"No, I never get bored. Even if I have to get your name up to 100 times" replied Princess Athanasia.

"You're overreacting princess, what if you ask you? Are you willing to answer?" ask Prince Elio

Princess Athanasia immediately nodded and replied...

"I'm ready!"

"Is it true that you like me?" ask Prince Elio

Princess Athanasia is silent, she looks confused and panicked because Prince Elio can know her feelings.

"Mr Princess Athanasia?" Prince Elio said hello.

"Do I have to answer this right now?" asked Princess Athanasia while arranging the irises of Prince Elio's eyes which turned out to look at him as well.

"Alright, answer... Yes, that's true." replied Princess Athanasia.

"What's the reason you like me?" ask Prince Elio

"For no reason, I like you so much" replied Princess Athanasia

"Isn't that weird? You like me for no reason?" ask Princess Athanasia.

"It's called love, if you like that person for no reason then it's called love" said Princess Athanasia.

"I don't understand your way of thinking princess" Prince Elio said

"It's like that, I'm sure you understand His Highness Prince Elio" Princess Athanasia said.

Prince Elio placed his hand on Princess Athanasia's dress.

Prince Elio looked at Princess Athanasia's face intensely then he smiled.

"Your face is flushed."

Prince Elio folded the small towel he was holding and placed it over Princess Athanasia's brown hair.

"Use this to cover your face" Prince Elio said

Prince Elio immediately stood up and joined the other princes to enter the palace.

"Princess Athanasia~"

Princess Quely ran over to see Princess Athanasia who was still sitting on the spot and not moving at all.

His face was still shocked and his expression was still frozen.

"Lady princess? You don't want to enter the palace?" ask Princess Quely

"Yes? Oh yeah, I.. I'm coming with you." said Princess Athanasia after waking up from her daydreams again.

"Alright, come! Others have walked into the palace" said Princess Quely, holding the hand of Princess Athanasia.

"A-ayo" said Athanasia's daughter.

...****************...

The princesses and princes enjoyed the lunch meal well, then they were given time to rest.

Beside the lake of the Black Cart palace, Princess Kanzia sat hugging her feet while looking at the calm water.

Prince Elio came and stood a distance of 3 meters beside Princess Kanzia sitting.

"Why are you here alone?" ask Prince Elio

"I need calm" replied Princess Kanzia

"The others are in the front yard of the palace" Prince Elio said

"Yes, I know." replied Princess Kanzia.

Prince Elio looked at Princess Kanzia at a glance, then he looked back at the lake in front of him.

"You alone, what are you doing here, prince? While the other princes are in the horse racing area" said Princess Kanzia.

"I just want to take a walk" Prince Elio said.

"I thought you would answer to be alone" said Princess Kanzia.

"I'm different from you" replied Prince Elio

Prince Elio left the lake area, but just a few steps away from the area, a surprise Princess Kanzia made Prince Elio stop his steps.

"Sapphire sword..."

Prince Elio turned his back and looked at Princess Kanzia who was standing on his back.

"What do you know about sapphire swords?" ask Princess Kanzia.

"You're asking me?" ask Prince Elio

Princess Kanzia turned her body around and looked at Prince Elio intensely.

"Who else?" replied Princess Kanzia.

"I don't know anything about sapphire swords" replied Prince Elio.

"Yet your reaction says otherwise" replied Princess Kanzia.

"You suddenly interrupt, of course I turn my back." - Prince Elio.

"Say, how far have you come to know about the sapphire sword?" ask Princess Kanzia.

Prince Elio was silent, he thought for a moment and researched the meaning behind Princess Kanzia's current expression.
