Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 16: Shouldn't Have Spoiled the Princess

"Ehem!" the King tried to cough the laughter again and just signaled the man to continue. He fears that if he opened his mouth, he may burst it out.

Seeing this, the man continued again, "Afterward, the princess raged at him."

The King and Queen just nodded at this.

If this was done to them, they may even do worse. However, the only problem was that the princess's rage is something else. She was just a child who throws tantrum. At this, they sighed as they imagined their princess creating a scene right after she just arrived.

"But later on, the princess still gave him a chance to redeem himself and speak what he wanted if he doesn't like tea."

"..." both the Queen and the King was stunned speechless. Doesn't that sound like that the princess gave that man the freedom to demand? That's... a stupid thing to do!

They knew that their precious daughter was not so bright and was still naive and childish but they also believed that it was because of them spoiling her. So by letting her go as her age turned seventeen, she would gain experience and remove her gullible characteristic by being influenced by the other two princes while gaining knowledge through ruling over a whole capital. She would learn the true consequences of her decisions and while her failures will nurture her.

Of course, those failures should be hidden under the ground, not letting the public know about this. However, it seemed like one of her failures was already publicized. It was greatly depressing for the King and Queen.

"Since there was no hot chocolate as of the moment, the man, Avion Teller, requested for meat..." before continuing, the man in the black robe gulped again, "And also, he requested to join the ride since he didn't want to walk."

'Audacious!' both the King and Queen's heads hurt as they thought, still speechless.

The officials, nobles, especially the knights and the guards shrank as they knew that their rulers were getting angry. The King and Queen's silence was scarier than just the King's grunts.

"... then... he requested to ride with Princess Alisera, and the princess agreed."

As if an earthquake began while a volcano was about to erupt, the earthquake created a tsunami, this tsunami was rising above the skies, winds picked up as it creates a storm, and then BAM the sun just exploded, a bring light virtually came out of the King's eyes, and those who saw that illusory felt that the world was ending.

They waited for the Queen to make the King calm down but as they look, lights were also beaming from her eyes.

Although these light were non-existent in reality, it almost took the souls of the people there as they began to fear for the worst to come.

The man in the black robe trembled, but he knew that there was good news after that so with courage, he spoke again, "But when they met the two princes, Prince Harold and Prince Julio, Prince Harold stopped Avion Teller from entering the capital's Royal Mansion."

After hearing this, the couple stopped and sighed in relief.

"I am still waiting for the news that happened after that. But it is Your Royal Highness's order to report something from the princess as soon as possible."

"That is correct. But that is enough. Prince Harold must've resolved the case already." the King confidently said.

They knew who Prince Harold was. If only they were not forbidden to marry off their children from both kingdoms then even the King who didn't want to let go of his precious daughter will have to agree. The King has a realistic view and he knew that somethings just need to happen even if he doesn't want to.

Prince Harold was calm and decisive while having farsightedness. This was important as a king. There was always pressure in deciding for the kingdom, and calmness and preparedness will always save the kingdom from dangers.

On top of that, he was perfect in every possible aspect, from arts to talents for elements. At such a young age, he was already at Rank Dih, the same as the famous Edora, the idol of every commoner, who was the current Royal Knight Captain.

So marrying their daughter off to him was a great choice. However, it was a shame they couldn't due to some complications. Especially, when both were already childhood friends, easing their worries. It was truly a shame.

The man in black robes couldn't leave until either the King or the Queen says so. So he stayed there until a white pigeon entered through the opened giant door. It landed on the shoulder of the man. There was a noticeable piece of paper tied to the pigeon's foot.

"Is that the last part of the news?" the Queen then asked, seemingly tired from the rollercoaster they were having earlier.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then finish your report." the King casually said since he knew what already happened.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." upon opening the paper and reading it, the eyes of the man in black robes had his eyes suddenly opened wide. He regretted not controlling his expression as this piqued the curiosity of both the King and the Queen. However, after reading what was on the paper, he just couldn't control his expression.

"Tell what's on the paper." the King grew impatient.

After a moment of hesitation, the man nodded, "Yes, Your Royal Highness," his hands trembling.

'Is there something else that happened?' the King and Queen thought as their hearts wavers. If something happened to their daughter, they wouldn't know what they would do.

"After Prince Harold stopped Avion Teller, Princess Alisera got angry at the prince with the reason that Avion Teller was her guest. Surprisingly, Prince Harold couldn't say anything back so Prince Julio joined in."

A silent "oh" came out of the Queen's mouth. She and the King didn't expect Prince Julio who was known for his good-for-nothing character intervened in this situation while Prince Harold couldn't do a thing.

"However, Princess Alisera threw insults at Prince Julio's attempt to intervene. Much more, saying the forbidden words to the Prince of Hansheles."

When these entered their ears, the King couldn't help but sigh, thinking, 'I should have at least spanked that girl's butt once to straighten her up. We shouldn't have spoiled her this much... she's just so cute... that girl...'
