Prince Elio
Saphire Sword

The quiet situation made Prince Elio focus and concentrate on what he was looking for in the library of Corvus Palace. It's been 2 hours Prince Elio hasn't been out of the library even skipping breakfast together.

Prince Elio was still not satisfied with what he was looking for at the moment, it was obvious that the table where he was reading was already full of piles of books after he had read.

Kriet's...

The door of the library opened and revealed King Aiden as he walked over to a pile of books covering Prince Elio's body.

King Aiden smiled faintly and he sat face to face with the pile of books. A few seconds silent, King Aiden chuckled and muttered.

“He's serious, what is he looking for?” muttered King Aiden

“What are you looking for, my son?” asked King Aiden as he stood up from his seat

Yang was not answered, he was still focusing on a colored book with the title “Saphire” Sword History which is yellow gold.

King Aiden took a book in front of him, then he tapped it on Prince Elio's head.

“Ready-Her Majesty? Salutations... I'm sorry I didn't know you were here. How many lam-“

“What are you looking for so focused?” cut King Aiden

“I only read about the Saphire sword, Your Majesty” said Prince Elio with a big smile

King Aiden turned to read all the titles of the book that Prince Elio had taken and sighed.

“It seems you are very curious about the Saphire sword, yes?” ask King Aiden

“True Your Majesty, because I want to know more about the sword” said Prince Elio

“About the sword or its owner?” ask King Aiden

“H.. Actually his second, Your Majesty.” Prince Elio answered with a sweet smile

King Aiden leaned against the edge of the table, then he crossed his arms while staring at the library window 3 meters in front of him.

“Actually, those books are not enough. Royal officials in ancient times spoke of some facts about the Saphire Sword. Books alone are not enough, it is fortunate that His Majesty told me about one of the secrets of the Saphire Sword when my umut 9 years.” explained King Aiden.

“H... Can you tell me, Your Majesty?” ask Prince Elio

King Aiden turned his body around and gave a sweet smile of his.

“Surely, after you tidied up all these books.” said King Aiden

“Good, Your Majesty!” prince Elio replied with excitement.

Prince Elio immediately tidied up the pile of books on the table, after he tidied it to the edge of the table, King Aiden immediately sat down at the original place.

“Before, I'll ask. Why do you want to know so much about the Saphire Sword? Is there an incident that makes you curious like this?” ask King Aiden

“Alright, I'll tell you a little bit. At the Pejasone Palace Festival where princesses from all kingdoms perform sword dance. I saw the sword of one of the princesses glittering in the sunlight. And I focused my gaze on him, and I was surprised when the sword had a Saphire stone in the handle. When I chased him, he ran away.” explained Prince Elio.

“So so the story. But, why do you want to meet the owner?” King Aiden

“Once, I don't know why I want to know more about the owner of the sword. Moreover, couldn't the owner of the Saphire Sword be out of the kingdom that freely?” ask Prince Elio

King Aiden nodded his head and smiled.

“Listen to your words, I'm sure you seem to like the princess. Right no?” ask King Aiden

“Your Majesty, I told you, didn't I? I just want to know, not because I like let alone fall in love.” elak Prince Elio

“Alright, you like it or not only your feelings can be decisive. I will tell you one of the facts about the Sword of Saphire and tell you a little about it.” said King Aiden.

Prince Elio immediately put up his hearing well, he did not want to lose a word that came out of King Aiden's mouth.

“Ninety-five percent of Saphire Sword owners are male. The royal court in the year 44 used the jewel of Saphire to distinguish them between the higher-ups and the royal family. However, the image of the owner of the Saphire jeweled sword became bad when some of them committed illegal massacres. Even then there was an organization for those who possessed the Sword of Saphire. If you say that a princess appeared with a sword like that it is likely that the sword was descended from the previous higher-ups.”.

“Because of old times, His Majesty Maverick said that the organization of the Saphire Sword had been spent, there was nothing left for even a single person. Their swords were placed in wooden crates and burned.” explained King Aiden

“If it has been burned and destroyed, why is there still someone using the sword? Or maybe they used a new gem that was indeed affixed to the hilt of their sword?” ask Prince Elio

King Aiden shook his head thinly and looked at Prince Elio.

“Getting Saphire Gems is not as easy as hunting a deer. Saphire gems can be obtained if you travel to the orange forest, a forest where the leaves contained in the trees are orange. And, at certain times the jewel will appear downstream in the river in the forest, but the wild animals nest there. Even at this time, the gem had already not appeared anymore because of the greedy royal higher-ups back then.” explained King Aiden.

(So one reasonable reason is that the princess is a descendant of the higher-ups who possess the Saphire Sword. How could he possibly have a sword that had already burned and vanished?) inner Prince Elio.

“So... What do you think, Prince Elio?” ask King Aiden

“In my opinion, the princess is a descendant of the higher-ups who possess the Sword of Saphire. Humans can be careless, there is likely one of the descendants of the higher-ups who are indeed the swords he scorned and replaced the fake ones before the swords were burned.” Answer Prince Elio

“It could be, because he could have done anything to secure the precious sword” said King Aiden

Prince Elio lowered his head and he thought with the logic he had.

“So, after knowing all this. What are you gonna do? You still want to know the figure of the princess of the Saphire Sword, prince?” ask King Aiden

“Someday I will definitely find the princess, Your Majesty.” Prince Elio

“After getting it, what will you do?” ask King Aiden

“I will kill him, because he could have built such a dangerous organization and done dangerous things again.” replied Prince Elio

“Killing the owner of the Saphire Sword will not be punished or sanctioned. Because they had already entered into the forbidden organization in the royal world. So, if you kill him it will not be guilty.” King Aiden said

Prince Elio nodded his head, but at once his brain displayed a memory in which the sword-owning princess danced skillfully and masterfully. Even the dance mesmerized Prince Elio's eyes the first time he saw it.

(Yes, if I find him he will kill me before the old thing happens again) Prince Elio.

“Thank you for the information you have provided, Your Majesty.” said Prince Elio stood up and saluted.

“Other times do not miss breakfast hours just because of this.” said King Aiden

“I'm sorry, Your Highness.” replied Prince Elio

King Aiden smiled then clenched his hands and pushed him before Prince Elio. Prince Elio seemed to think for a few seconds before he clenched his hand and snatched it into the hands of King Aiden.

They smiled at each other after which King Aiden directly left the library. Prince Elio did the same, but on the way to his room, a bodyguard gave a letter to him.

“Greetings His Highness Prince Elio. I want to deliver this letter from the letter head Mr. Ran. This is for you, Your Majesty.” said the bodyguard

Prince Elio resumed his journey, when in his room Prince Elio opened the letter and he frowned.

“Princess Kanzia?” murmuring Prince Elio

Prince Elio opened his letter and read it.

Greetings Prince Elio,

I'm Princess Kanzia of the Diamond Kingdom, I don't think you need to introduce yourself because you must already know that this is from me. All right, what are you doing this afternoon? Am I interrupting your time this afternoon, Prince?

I am not sending this letter without reason, please read it well and respond to this letter if you want, otherwise I am not forcing either. The point you're responding to my letter is for me to know your response or answer.

I want to apologize to you, maybe you were offended by my words when we were having camp in the woods. You instantly shut up and left me with Princess Quely after helping me.

If my words hurt your heart, I apologize profusely. I don't know if it'll hurt your heart, I don't want someone to hate me because I haven't been with you and the others, prince.

So I will try my best in the future to make a good friendship with you, so I hope you respond to this apology.

I apologize profusely to you, thank you for reading this letter to the end.

Greetings, greetings,

Princess Kanzia

Diamonds.

“Why not say it directly?” murmuring Prince Elio

Prince Elio placed the letter on the table, and he immediately threw himself into the bed. Because today he had no royal schedule so Prince Elio took the opportunity to lie down.

Meanwhile, Princess Quely was sitting in the flower garden of Rumpelstiltskin palace. He immediately recalled about the white tiger belonging to Prince Elio—Igr.

He was immediately shocked in horror when he remembered the tiger was about to attack him at that moment.

“What's right, Prince Elio has a white tiger? In the forest and not kept in the palace? Why yes? Do I have to ask you, is it true that Aunt Carla was not attacked by the tiger? But wasn't it then clear that aunt had a big scratch on her body?” muttered Princess Quely

“Prince Elio owes me an explanation about this” Princess Quely

Prince Elio plans to visit residents around the Corvus palace. Prince Elio was very happy when he saw the citizens happy with the system of government that King Aiden applied.

Prince Elio walked leisurely amidst the crowd of citizens, even his face dazzled the village girls. All the passing girls immediately lowered their heads but many also stared blatantly at Prince Elio's face.

“Greetings Your Majesty, I brought this to Your Majesty. I hope you like it.” said a girl who brought a box of food to Prince Elio

Prince Elio just kept silent and looked at the girl, but the girl lowered her head while her hands were still loyal in front of Prince Elio. He held back the ache for the result of the hard work he did this morning.

“Thank you” Prince Elio took the gift and left just like that

The girl smiled, she raised her head and her cheeks turned red.

“Prince, received my gift” murmured

Prince Elio often gets gifts when he walks to the village area, but many also send gifts to Corvus Palace. But unfortunately the gifts that come only a few are not all. Because the royal officer selected the gifts.

Prince Elio's decision to visit the village took 3 months to be approved by King Aiden, not without cause.

King Aiden wanted to ascertain whether the Corvus environment was safe for his son to roam around like this because he also did not know when the enemy would attack in the middle of the Corvus neighborhood.

As he continued to be urged, King Aiden also appealed with the King's advisers for his decision. In addition, Prince Elio also helped convince the schedule he wanted to have.

After 3 appeals. King Aiden did not give an answer, King Aiden did not give an answer because during the visit the prince did not want to bring a bodyguard.

After being urged to rely on faith, King Aiden finally agreed to a new schedule for Prince Elio. Visit the Corvus settlement.

Prince Elio returned to the palace to take his horse, he planned to ride a horse to go for a walk. But on the way he met Princess Quely who was blocking his way along with his white horse.

“What's up?” ask Prince Elio to Princess Quely

“You deal with me, prince.” Princess Quely said

“What solution? I don't have much time” Prince Elio said

“Igr, you have to explain it to me. Se.ka.rang!” Princess Quely

“Igr? You want to meet him?” prince Elio asked with a sly smile

“No, you must explain the tiger's connection to the death of Aunt Carla. You know something, right? It's obvious aunt died from a tiger scratch why are you saying that it wasn't the tiger that killed auntie?” ask Princess Quely

“The story is long and I don't have time for it” Prince Elio said

“Then I come with you, so you can tell me on the way” Princess Quely said

“No! You can't come to” said Prince Elio

“Alright, I'll stay the night. I had anticipated this would happen. So relax, do your thing until you're done, you'll tell me about it here. See you~” said Princess Quely

“Hei!” Prince Elio descended from his horse as Princess Quely gawked into the courtyard of Corvus' palace.

“Who allowed you to stay here?” prince Elio asked as he gripped Princess Quely's left arm.

“King Aiden, why? You didn't think that I would get permission for the King? Do your thing, I'll wait here with the king. Hahaha” said Princess Quely in a soft tone.

“As far as you” replied Prince Elio

Prince Elio sighed and he let go of the clutches of his hand after that directly riding his horse left the Corvus Palace.

“He was very rude, thought his grip was slow. It feels like an eagle. Ya~ however she is Prince Elio. Such is his nature.” muttered Princess Quely looking at Prince Elio who was lost from his sight.
