Prince Elio
Princess of the Diamond Kingdom
This sunny morning, the princes and princesses were sitting quietly sipping drinks and just chatting with each other. Because this morning is the schedule of the princesses and princes gathered at Pejasone Palace.
“Tomorrow we will camp, so I think there should be something new interesting from the camp tomorrow.” said Prince Raynor
“What new thing is again? Do not let me throw my shoes if your idea is always strange.” said Princess Hera with annoyance.
Prince Raynor and Princess Hera rarely get along, especially when Prince Raynor speaks it feels like it has made Princess Hera rise in blood.
“I just proposed it, why are you angry?” prince Raynor said while crossing the fence
“What's the proposal? Wait before, we have to ask first if the other princesses and princes agree to add camping activities tomorrow?” ask Princess Quely
“Camping for 5 hours, plus having to hunt and adventure. Sometimes we can finish on time but I also can not avoid if we are often short of time.” Prince Zaire
“True, I agree with Prince Zaire. We often experience delays. So, I guess adding another activity to the camp tomorrow doesn't make sense. Isn't that Prince Elio?” ask Princess Hera
“Prince Zaire and Princess Hera are right, with 5 hours to complete 3 activities is also still lacking. So I guess it's less effective... Next time I can think if you want to add other activities in the schedule that day.” said Prince Elio
Princess Hera sipped a drink in her glass, raising one eyebrow at Prince Raynor as a sign that Princess Hera was winning.
Criet
“Greetings Your Highness the prince and princess. I am here to convey the message that Her Majesty Queen Ails called Prince Elio on her throne.” said the butler of Pejasone Palace.
“Alright, I will be there soon.” said Prince Elio
Prince Elio stood up from his seat and directly walked towards the throne room of Queen Ails, the queen who led the Kingdom of Pejasone. Pejasone Palace is indeed a gathering place for the princes and princesses of the 7 Great Kingdoms.
However, that does not mean that the Palace is deserted without a leader. Pejasone Palace was often quiet, so the leader of the Pejasone Kingdom had long agreed that this palace would be used as a gathering place for princes and princesses.
The citizens of the Pejasone Kingdom were also a bit unlike the other royal citizens. Queen Ails also leads the current Kingdom of Pejasone.
Pejasone Palace provides one large and spacious room for princes and princesses to gather every gathering schedule. So, they rarely get a call from the leader of Pejasone Palace because they are given freedom and privacy.
Prince Elio was surprised, he did not know if this was his fault or one of the princes and princesses? But what Prince Elio knows at this time is that the princes and princesses have not made any mistakes or messes all along.
As the golden door opened, Prince Elio stepped firmly and confidently. Then his eyes caught the figure of the blonde-haired princess neatly rolling using the flower as a decoration.
But he again focused his gaze on Queen Ails who was already standing firmly in front there. Queen Ails smiled at Pangera Elio as she gave a respectful greeting.
“Greetings Her Majesty Queen Ails, I am here fulfilling your orders.” Prince Elio said.
“I'm glad you're the leader of the princes and princesses of the 7 Great Kingdoms. Don't worry, I'm not calling you for reprimand or punishment. I called you here because you have a beautiful princess who will join you from today.”.
“Please introduce yourself to Prince Elio, princess.” Ratu Ails said
“Greetings... I am Princess Charlotte Kanzia Bernadette Leo Diamond, you can call me Princess Kanzia. I am from Diamond” Kingdom said Princess Kanzia
“Greetings... I am Prince Elio of the Kingdom of Corvus.” Prince Elio said
“Happy to meet you, Prince Elio” Princess Kanzia
Prince Elio saluted to answer Princess Kanzia's words.
“Now you are no longer the 7 Great Kingdoms, but the 8 Great Kingdoms. Read more Princess Kanzia can tell it at a later time if possible.” said Ratu Ails.
“Good Your Majesty, thank you for the information.” Prince Elio said
“You can go back to the gathering room” said Ratu Ails who turned around and returned to sit on his throne.
Prince Elio and Princess Kanzia saluted and then they came out of the throne room of Queen Ails. Along the way in the corridor of Pejasone Palace, Princess Kanzia kept talking. Prince Elio happens to be a person who doesn't like to talk much if it's not important.
“Kingdom Corvus huh? I have heard so much about the Kingdom of Corvus, it is a great pleasure to meet the Crown Prince of Corvus. We're gonna be friends, right?” Princess Kanzia
“I think” said Prince Elio
“Oh so apparently... It's okay, maybe you don't like new people. But I'm sure you'll get used to it, let's just say I never got into your royal circle, prince.” Princess Kanzia
“Other times if already friends, can I visit your home?” ask Princess Kanzia
“Please..” said Prince Elio
“Wah... a great honor for me when Prince Elio allowed it.” said Princess Kanzia
Prince Elio stopped in front of a large silver-plated golden door at his side, he took a breath and then he faced Princess Kanzia but not with his eyes. He looked at Princess Kanzia's hair.
“Let me explain, in this room there are many princes and princesses. They're your new friends, too, so introduce yourself well if the time allows you to tell me about the background of the kingdom so everyone does not think negatively about your kingdom entering the scope of the 7 Great Kingdoms. After that I will send the schedule of the princesses and princes every day.” said Prince Elio explained everything to Princess Kanzia.
“Alright, I understand.” Princess Kanzia raised her dress and humbled a little saluting.
“One more time, you can talk normally like that. Wearing me-you're too formal. Adjust it to others, you are no longer a stranger to us.” said Prince Elio
“Good, I understand!” princess Kanzia was excited.
As the door opened, all the princesses and princes inside stared at Princess Kanzia. They put on cheerful faces so unimpressed to corner as if they were friendly with strangers.
“Come in.” said Prince Elio
Princess Kanzia followed Prince Elio to step into the gathering room. Princess Kanzia stopped just to the right of Prince Elio and then she paid her respects and introduced herself.
“Greetings... Nice to meet you all, I am Princess Charlotte Kanzia Bernadette Leo Diamond, you can call me Princess Kanzia. I come from the Diamond Kingdom, my kingdom has officially entered into the scope of the 7 Great Kingdoms which may currently be the 8 Great Kingdoms.”.
“The reason why the Diamond Kingdom entered the scope of the 7 Great Kingdoms because 3 days ago we had conquered the Kingdom of Tamsil and the Kingdom of Yoama. My father, King Parvio has officially registered the Diamond Kingdom with the head of these 7 Great Kingdoms, His Majesty King Harris 1 day ago. So I ask for your help while I adapt here, thank you.” said Princess Kanzia with clear intonation.
The princesses immediately stood up and lined up neatly behind their respective seats, then they paid their respects to Princess Kanzia.
“Hail Princess Kanzia” says the princesses together.
“I hope you can adapt to us” said Princess Hera gave a smile that made her eyes disappear
“Good friends with us, Princess Kanzia” said Princess Quely gave a sweet smile
“We will help you.” said Princess Lizzie by bending her body
Princess Kanzia smiled widely, then Princess Hera accompanied Princess Kanzia to sit on the empty seat next to Princess Eudora. Meanwhile, Prince Elio sat back in his place and gulped down some mineral water.
After all sitting down, the originally awkward atmosphere managed to liquidate back due to a question from Prince Theonor.
“Tamsil Kingdom and Yoama Kingdom, it's the kingdom of the North isn't it?” asked Prince Theonor while looking at the mineral water in front of Princess Kanzia.
“True, they're the kingdom of the North.” Princess Kanzia
“Iya.. indeed at that time was circulating rumors of the kingdom from the North was faltering. Apparently there is a conquest... Congratulations to you, Princess Kanzia.” Prince Xavier
“Yes, Prince Xavier is right. The Northern Kingdom is not okay. It turns out that it makes our scope increase one kingdom yes.” Prince Theonor's smile is sweet.
“So, your palace gets the expansion of the region huh?” ask Princess Jannesa
“Iya, we expand the region. Because the Kingdom of Yoama is wider in area than the Kingdom of Tamsil.” Princess Kanzia.
“Alright, I understand now. May we be friends!” Prince Raynor smiled and raised his hand into the air.
“Do not be friends with him if you want your health condition to be fine. It was a warning and advice from me, Princess Kanzia.”, Princess Hera said.
“Hei... Why did you say that?” ask Prince Raynor
“Are my words wrong? That's proof, real proof.” Princess Hera was upset
“Hey... You're the only one acting like this. Others do not dispute it.” said Prince Raynor is no less upset.
“Better they just marry” said Princess Eudora slowly, but it makes Princess Kanzia laugh because she heard it.
“Hei hey... What are you guys doing? How long are you going to fight like that? We have new friends, why do you give such a bad impression? Didn't you see Princess Kanzia's face in fear?” said the Prince of Aragon who was mediating a fight from Prince Raynor and Princess Hera.
“Better show your good looks in front of Princess Kanzia” said the Prince of Aragon while justifying his hair and clothes and then winked.
“What are you doing? You're more terrible than the fight. Don't tease her.” said Princess Quely annoyed at her cousin.
Princess Kanzia chuckled, she was happy to be greeted warmly by the princes and princesses she just recognized today.
...• • •...
"Alright, I think it's enough to get here to our meeting. I hope tomorrow you all can follow the schedule. Don't be late and prepare well" Prince Elio said, staring at everyone sitting in the room.
"Good!" answered the princesses and princes then they stood up from their seats to return to their respective palaces.
As Princess Kanzia was about to leave, Prince Elio chased after her. Then he stood before Princess Kanzia.
"Oh? Greetings Prince Elio... What's the need?" princess Kanzia asked with a puzzled look
"Tomorrow the princes and princesses will do camping activities. Which is done once a week. You're in on that activity, right?" prince Elio asked with his face flat.
"Sure! Since I'm already a part of you, of course I have to follow whatever kind of activities, right?" the Princess Kanzia
"Alright, then prepare well that has been met earlier" said Prince Elio, he bowed respectfully and then turned his back.
However, Princess Kanzia confronted Prince Elio in front of the main gate of Pejasone Palace.
"What's wrong?" prince Elio asked without any expression at all
"I will arrange my schedule in the palace, so can I get that schedule today?" princess Kanzia asked as she looked into Prince Elio's eyes.
"You can come with me to the palace" Prince Elio said
"Okay, I'm riding a horse. So I can follow you from behind" said Princess Kanzia followed by a wide smile.
"Yes, let's go" Prince Elio precedes Princess Kanzia.
However, the figure of Princess Athanasia was waiting at the place where the horse was kept. He even smiled as Prince Elio was about to come.
"Hail Prince Elio" said Princess Athanasia, saluting her
"Hail Princess Atha, why haven't you come home yet?" prince Elio asked as he opened the door of the stables.
"I? I'm waiting for you, prince." Princess Athanasia
"Don't wait for me, you'll be exhausted" Prince Elio said as he stroked his horse
"I never feel tired waiting for you" said Princess Athanasia
(What is this? Do they love each other?) the Inner Princess Kanzia who only listened to the atmosphere in front of her.
"You'd better go home" Prince Elio said, turning his eyes to Princess Athanasia.
"I'll be home when you come home, prince" said Princess Athanasia
"Daughter of Atha, I told you not to wait for me. It's a waste of your time." said Prince Elio, herding his horse out of the stable.
"Why are you standing there Princess Kanzia? Take your horse" said Prince Elio, and then he rode it.
(He was like a handsome prince in a fairy tale) the inner Princess Athanasia looked at Prince Elio from below.
"You'd better go back to your palace, princess. I'm saying goodbye, salam..." Prince Elio greeted her in the chest and then he rode back to Corvus with Princess Kanzia behind him.
...• • •...
Arriving at Corvus, Prince Elio handed his horse to the soldiers guarding the palace grounds. And Princess Kanzia as well.
"Follow me."
Prince Elio went straight into the palace and entered into his private workspace.
But because of walking down, Princess Kanzia's forehead hit the brown wooden door in front of her.
"Ouch. I'm more embarrassed" muttered Princess Kanzia as she rubbed her forehead.
Prince Elio came out of his study with a scroll of paper, then he gave it to Princess Kanzia. Princess Kanzia accepted it still with her head lowered in embarrassment.
"You okay?" ask Prince Elio
Princess Kanzia looked directly at Prince Elio in front of her with a surprised look that rounded her eyeballs. And that was when Prince Elio could see Princess Kanzia's forehead blushing.
"It-it's not me-"
"It looks like it hit hard huh. I'll take you to the palace healer" Prince Elio stepped in but his clothes were taken away by Princess Kanzia.
The eyes of Prince Elio and Princess Kanzia met, Princess Kanzia hurriedly removed her hands from Prince Elio's clothes then she lowered her head again.
"No need for the prince, I'm fine. Because I still have another schedule at the palace I'm leaving. Thank you for the schedule, greetings Prince Elio" Princess Kanzia gave a respectful greeting then she left in a hurry.
"Ohh, I'm so ashamed. Everyone looked at me like that, why did I have to hit the door, everyone looked at me even more strangely." Princess Kanzia grumbled along the way out of Corvus Palace.
