I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 28: Tranquility

"Why are you here?" Said the petite girl in front of him.

"Princess Jayna?! it's nothing. I just want to take some fresh air." Replied Angus.

"Really? How come you could enter this garden? If I am not wrong this is a prohibited area from the guest." Asked the 4th Princess.

"Huh?! I just walk here. Anyway, since I am bothering you then I will leave you. See ya." Replied Angus in a lazy tone.

"Wait… y-you are not bothering me. You can stay here." Replied Jayna hurriedly.

"Nah.. I will just go back to the party." Replied Angus casually.

"Y-You… Is it because I am weak right? Now, I am weak that you can ignore me like the others. All of this because of.. Because of my wound." As the princess tearing up.

Hearing this, Angus stops his track and looks at the crying princess. "You know what? You are really a troublesome girl."

"Y-You... " Before the princess could finish her sentence.

"Didn't I always ignore you? Why should I pay attention to troublesome girls like you suddenly? It's better if I just sleep around." As Angus shows his yawn.

Looking at this, the princess begins to remember Angus's laid back attitude that keeps ignoring her until now.

"L-Liar… you just pretend like others." [Princess Jayna]

"Why should I lie? Lying is a very burdensome task especially towards a troublesome girl like you. Besides I don't care if you are strong or weak, it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, "Is it true? Ever since I got hurt, everyone just..." [Angus]

Before Jayna completes her sentence, "Bla.. Bla.. Bla… keep the bedtime story to another person. I am not a shoulder you could cry on a troublesome girl."

"Y-You.. Insolent!! I am also not a troublesome girl." Grumbling the princess.

After that both of them stay silent awkwardly. Before the princess remembers her experience during the last confrontation with Angus.

Although at that time, she could not control her body, she was still conscious a little bit about the surroundings.

"Hey.. Angus, you don't happen to be… " However she stopped her sentence after seeing Angus sleeping while standing.

Looking at this, she once again has a high blood pressure and wants to kill the boy in front of her.

Before that happened, Angus woke up, "Ahh.. Sorry the ambience is so nice that I just feel asleep right away. Did you happen to say something?"

"Grr.. You really…" Once again before she could finish her sentence, Angus suddenly approached her without stopping.

"What.. What do you want?" As the princess was startled by Angus's sudden approach.

"As expected you really are a troublesome girl." Said Angus in front of her face.

"I am not…" [Jayna]

"Close your eyes!!" Interrupt Angus with a stern tone.

"What.." [Jayna]

"I said close your eyes. Quick.. I need to go back to the hall." Said Angus.

At first she is hesitant but knowing that Angus is more than he looks from her last encounter. She closed her eyes while grumbling, " I'll kill you if you do anything weird to me."

"Take a deep breath… then exhale. Deep breath.. Exhale.." Angus keeps saying that while Jayna follows his instruction.

After a while the princess started to get annoyed, "Imagine a place where you can relax, comfortable but still could focus." Instruct Angus.

"Then, try to focus on your mind and clear your mind. The thought that makes you uncomfortable. Clear all of them."

Few moments later, " Now, open your eyes." Instruct Angus.

As the princess opened her eyes, she could calmly see and feel relaxed. Especially when he looks at Angus. She feels safe, calm, and relaxed.

Ever since kid, she has always had a moody personality and always finds a lot of things annoying. However, this is the first time she could appreciate the surroundings and calm her mind.

"Alright then, I'll be back to the hall." As Angus walks towards inside, waking up the princess from her trance.

Before she could react, Angus himself had already gone from her.

"Angus, What a strange person?" As she went back to appreciate her surroundings.

Back at the hall, Vergil immediately found Angus leisurely eating some food.

"There you are, the crown prince already arrived. We need to greet him now." as Vergil drags his brother around to greet the crown prince.

The crown prince is a young man in blonde hair that always goes around with a happy smile. Soon, Jason also joins us and we greet the crown together.

"Ahh.. The Victory brothers. I hear about your news. You must be Jason… " As the crown prince praised Jason more.

Jacob and Vergil are happy that their family is respected and their achievement mentioned. While the crown prince uses his glib tongue to praise both of three of us. I just stand silently and hope that this event ends soon.

'This crown prince really has a good glib tongue. Well, none of that is my concern anyway.' Thought Angus while keeping a facade of smiling to not be rude in front of the crown prince.

Soon, they managed to get away and Angus finally could excuse himself to go back home. As a good brother, Vergil also follows her younger brother to go home early.

Meanwhile, at the other gathering where the adult noble gather, an important meeting is being held.

In the head of the meeting table, sat a bearded man with a robust physic and dangerous aura around him with a crown on his head, The King of Heart Kingdom, King Leon Heart.

The meeting is already going for an hour, however they still have not concluded who will accompany the king during the meeting at the Roundel city.

All the big players like the four dukes are still silent until now since all of them have a job to stay in the kingdom while the king is absent.

'This meeting is really pointless.' Thought Duke Victory.

During this time, Duke Victory cannot help but remember the secret meeting between him and the king himself.

"Jacob, how is your wound?" [King Leon]

"Don't worry, you majesty. it is fully healed already." [Duke Jacob]

"Really, I heard that wounds from high level monsters are difficult to heal." As the king releases his mana aura towards Jacob.

"Don't worry about it. It is already healed completely." As Jacob counters it with his own aura.

Few tense moments later, both of them are laughing together. "Hahahaha…"

"Jacob, how many times have I said don't use such a title when we are alone." [King Leon]

"Well, I can't help it since it is you who has the crown, isn't it?" Replied Duke Jacob playfully.

"Haa… You never change Jacob. Anyway, Jacob joined me during the meeting at the Roundel." [King Leon]

"I-Is it an order?." [Duke Jacob]

"No, I asked this as a friend. Rather than surrounded by those snakes, I prefer you by my side." said King Leon earnestly.
