Two warriors were hiding in the forest behind the palace, dressed in black and looking at the southern wing of the palace.
One of the warriors said.
"Tonight is the season change ball, it is then the best chance to take action. Both the queen and the king are obliged to be present there "
The other warrior answers
"Yes you are right, and it also makes it easier for us that the children are staying in the south wing of the palace."
When Liula received a message about the appearance of the second prince, she had immediately sent two assassins to kill him. In order not to take any risks, she too wanted to kill the first prince and first princess, since one had red hair and the other had red eyes.
She thought it would be an easy task for them as Kaida was in a coma and Huli was not interested in the children, according to rumors. But the assassins had been waiting for three weeks for a opportunity to strike.
It was not easy to secretly enter the north wing of the palace, because Haya was staying there and she always had sufficient security.
The southern wing of the palace was easier to enter because it was not used at first, so it was not necessary to have warriors guarded there.
The biggest advantage was also that Huli did not stay in the south wing of the palace since he would be the biggest obstacles if he realized that assassins had entered the palace, Kaida was not a problem for them at the moment as she was recovering.
"We have been observing for three weeks now and I still have my doubts. Where does Huli always disappear to in the night? There are times when we cannot determine what he is doing."
The other warrior answers
"I think the information our spy has given us is correct, it is clear that the king does not look after the children and that only the queen and the children only stays in the south wing. I think if we don't attack tonight we won't get the chance again. "
The one warrior looked doubtful and thought. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was. During the three weeks they were observing the palace, they received information about the situation inside the palace. But there were too many uncertainties. Why did the king disappear at random moments and his whereabouts at those moments was a mystery.
After a long thought, the warrior said
"You are right if we do not attack tonight then we probably will not get the chance anymore. Let us prepare so that we can take action as soon as the king and queen have left the palace "
The warriors, however, did not know that Huli had long noticed Liula's spy and overpowered him. On behalf of Huli, the spy gave the assassins wrong information.
...…
"Do I really have to go? I don't feel like leaving the palace at all, and what does the season change ball mean? "
Kaida grumbled in front of her while Rei was busy with her hair. She was wearing a turquoise blue ball gown. The dress had a tight top that looked like a corset and a wide skirt
"Yes you really have to go. Here in the north the weather is influenced by the four seasons, which change every three months. "
Kaida looked at herself in the mirror when Rei finished her hair. Because of her pregnancy she was slightly fuller and her breasts had grown a lot and she particularly noticed in her ball gown.
"Seasons? Which ones are there, is it like in the south that it rains a lot? "
Rei gave Kaida her fox fur coat and put it around her
"That's the fall here. And that is over since today, now the winter is coming and then it is mainly cold. They say it is very cold and snow is falling. Then they have spring, then all the flowers come out. Summer comes after spring and then the sun shines again "
Kaida turned and smiled at Rei
"Thank you I look beautiful again and thank you for the information. I'm curious about the snow, even though I've heard stories about it, I never really saw it. I hope to be able to admire it during this season "
Rei nodded
"It's my pleasure your queen, let's go Huli is waiting for you"
"Yes, let's indeed go, I am also curious about Ronin's family. I have heard that his family organizes the seasonal change ball every year "
Kaida wanted to pass by the nursery to see her children before she would leave. When she opened the door she was surprised to find Huli there.
He was wearing a turquoise-blue suit that looked great on him. His hair was combed back tight, making his blue eyes stand out even better.
When he looked up at her and gave her a loving smile, her heart skipped and was beating faster. Why did he have to look so attractive?
"I did not expect to see you here my king "
That was visibly a lie because since Kaida moved into the southern wing of the palace, he was regularly there, whether she wanted it or not.
Huli first looked at Kaida from head to toe. She was wearing a ball gown where her voluptuous shapes were clearly visible. He had long since noticed that Kaida had wider hips and larger breasts when she was pregnant. But he didn't dislike it at all. No, in contrast, he found her to be more beautiful every day.
"My queen, I wanted to say goodnight to the children before we went to the seasonal change ball, since this is the first night we will not be there"
Kaida walked past him into the nursery and went past the children's beds. They were sleeping peacefully in their beds. Hiroshi slept with his dragon while his fox slept next to the crib, Hiromi slept with her fox and her dragon slept at the foot of the crib. Hiroki slept with his dragon egg on the left and his fox on the right.
"They are sleeping so peacefully, let's go my king"
Huli grabbed his fox fur cloak that he had hung around the rocking chair and put it on. Although Kaida was still a bit distant, he noted that she called him "my king" again two days ago.
He approached her and extended his hand to her.
"My queen"
Kaida nodded and took his hand
" my king "
Together they left the nursery and left for the family estate of Ronin.
