"Waow ... this place is amazing. I would be very at home if I lived in a palace like this, who created this brilliant idea? I want to have a lot of gardens like you," said Princes Shem at that time.
"My mother, Queen of Librivia. She really likes beauty and she herself always pays attention to all her gardens, of course assisted by the palace maids, I also help a lot," said Adaline.
"Humm ... You're an amazing girl, cool. I admire you, but why did you ever tease me when you didn't know me first?" Prince Shem continued.
"There's no excuse. I'm just for fun. Hehee," answered Adaline honestly.
Both of them laughed with the cuteness that had happened. Adaline showed Shem the various animals that were there, while pointing out their types and origins? Even the name. Adaline and her mother gave to the animals.
Adaline and Shem sit on the grass that surrounds the garden filled with animals.
"I will introduce you to Meriam and Marlon, they are my friends when I'm alone. I'm sure you will like it," said Adaline.
"Really? Who are they? What kind of animal are they?" asked the 14 year old Shem.
"MERIAAAAM! MARLON !!" Adaline shouted for them, while clapping her hands with a certain gesture. Shem seemed to glance and lifted his head looking for the animal figure which was called by Adaline, but it didn't appear. He wondered what kind of beast was this Adaline friend?
It seems that two small monkeys have been jumping and running around in the trees and getting closer to Adaline and Shem. Immediately the two monkeys jumped into Adaline's lap. Adaline greeted him with a happy smile and stroked them.
"Introduce Shem, these are the lovers in this Park, Marlon and Meriam. They are my little friends." Adaline informed.
"Humm ... Even monkeys have lovers? Hihihi," whispered Shem to himself, smiling to himself.
"Hey, what's wrong with you Shem? Smiling unclearly, but nothing funny,"
The Meriam then jumped towards Shem's lap now. And Shem was surprised because suddenly the monkey was in front of him. Also Shem felt that he had never been so close to any kind of animal in his life.
"Hey, is he here? Isn't he going to bite me?" asked Shem a little scared.
"Wkwkwk ... He turns out to like you Shem, Meriam likes you. He can see handsome men. More handsome than Marlon. Hahaha." Adaline made a laugh.
Even though Shem was panicked by the situation, in an instant Shem had mastered the beast. He tried to dare to touch and pet the little monkey. Really he had never interacted with animals before. Only Adaline was the first to introduce and even made Shem able to touch animals directly. They joked and talked about many things. Shem increasingly admired Adaline's figure. She was not as bad as his judgment at that time.
The more days Shem and Adaline met, sometimes Shem's father, King Theophylus could not visit the Serafin Kingdom. So Shem and some of the royal officials were present. Their friendship and closeness have been going on for three years. Likewise, the cooperation of the two great Kingdoms also lasted for three years. As Shem got older. Now that he is 17 years old, Adaline is starting to be 15 years old. The two of them are still close and have a very close friendship.
"Has your meeting with my father finished Prince?" The girl asked and came to Prince Shem when his important event was over.
"Of course it's finished, my lady, so what?" asked Shem with a smile.
"I really want to show the Prince a beautiful forest and lush with thousands of kinds of trees that you must have not found a beautiful forest like in this Serafin Country," said Adaline.
"Really? I am very interested. Why does your country have so many features? I hardly find it in other countries. Even in mine." Prince Shem was very enthusiastic about Adaline's invitation.
"That's because this kingdom is very fertile, our people are also prosperous, in addition to my father and mother who are lovers of all creatures. Animals and plants. No matter how small and unique, they will be cultivated. There are special institutions that are ordered to care for and preserve them." Adaline immediately grabbed Shem's arm and led him to walk towards their respective horses.
Adaline said that because of his love for the Kingdom with plants and animals, the Palace was not playing with a new discovery. If there are people or people who find new types of plants or new species of animals, they will be given a very attractive gift. So that many are competing to find the existence of other rare plants and animals.
The two of them then rode at a moderate horse speed, neither too fast nor too slow. They really wanted to enjoy sight after view on both sides of their path. It looks beautiful and shady. Shem was amazed time and time again by the arrangement and the locations that looked neat and tidy.
Adaline tells that in the forest it is very safe. There are guards who periodically change shifts to guard the beautiful forest. So they don't need to be afraid to visit with wild animals. All have been confirmed to be sterile from wild animals.
They run their horses very slowly because they enjoy this shady and cool natural scenery. Shem kept staring at the trees of all kinds. Adaline also provides a lot of tree details and shows several types of trees that exist. Adaline deliberately brought a book made by guard experts who guarded this forest. To match the tree seen with the pictures and descriptions in the book.
The horses are lined up but in different directions. The head of Shem's horse was level with the belly of Adaline's horse. The longer the horse is in position the head meets the tail of the other horse. So that Adaline and Shem seem very close together.
The two of them looked at each other meaningfully. In a heart full of happiness and pounding. These two young humans felt a different vibration from before.
"Adaline, the more I get to know you, the more you captivate me. I've never found a girl as beautiful and smart as you." Shem began to take Adaline's hand which was holding the horse rope.
Shem then raised his head in front of Adaline. Make his face closer to the girl's face. Suddenly Shem kissed the girl gently. Adaline didn't seem to refuse, she closed her eyes and returned the kiss. The two of them were carried away by the atmosphere of love at first sight. In a cool atmosphere, under the shady trees that witnessed the implantation of their first love.
