Since princess Alice had no answer, prince Edwin was surprised. "Alice!"
Princess Alice was shocked. "No! I won't tell you."
Prince Edwin fell silent with his mouth half open, then normalized his expression a second later.
"All right! Good luck!"
After saying that, prince Edwin left immediately in front of princess Alice. She walked out of her shoulders and chuckled. Meanwhile, princess Alice may have been very upset with him.
Prince Edwin went to his father's throne by order. Before finally, he was curious as he passed his sister's room clattering by the exasperated murmur of princess Alice.
King Luis smiled when prince Edwin arrived. "What's taking so long? Did you intentionally keep your father waiting?"
Prince Edwin bowing. "Sorry, father. I was just in Alice's room. Apparently, he objected to his engagement to prince Ken."
"There are other things more important than that. Don't waste time on your sister."
Prince Ken was astonished by the words of his father who seemed to care nothing about Alice. It's the first time that king Luis has refused to discuss his daughter. Nevertheless, prince Edwin would not go against his father's word.
"Okay, dad. What brings you here, father?"
King Luis rises from his throne. "A war just broke out. There is no peace in the history of the horathomi empire. You need to get over it before I bequeath the throne to you.
Prince Edwin was surprised. "Dad,...."

After meeting his father, prince Edwin returned to his Chambers. He wants to cool off and rest for a while.
"Father did not allow me to join the war. So, you're asking me to solve the royal peace problem?"
The man was mumbling to himself. Questioning everything about her father. Not much bothers her, but it makes her uncomfortable.
He was born in the kingdom of horathomi. As a child, he'd play in the palace. However, he doesn't remember much. At an early age, she went abroad to study abroad. Shortly after he returned home at the age of 17, he had just learned that the real reason prince Edwin's overseas was the war.
Until now, he had no knowledge of the kingdom at war with the kingdom of horathomi at that time. In fact, he didn't have the courage to ask his father until now.
"You hide things from me. How, then, can I be the rightful heir to the throne?"
After mumbling to himself, prince Edwin was getting tired of being in the room. Then he got up and walked out of his room. Just want to walk around the palace, enjoy the view. Unconsciously, two men behind him were running as if they were being chased. Until finally, the two men were in front of prince Edwin.
Prince Edwin is a little wobbled forward. He immediately looked back to see what had happened. It turns out there were two foreigners who fell on their backs. Meanwhile, ichiro and jirou gasp and stop right in front of prince Edwin.
"Prince, forgive us."
"Who are these two? Why are you chasing them?"
"They both stole in the palace basement, prince. We tried to catch the two of them trying to escape," ichiro blurted out in a guilty expression.
Prince Ken took immediate action. He crouched behind them, pulled out the hair of the two men who had fallen.
"Who are you?" asked prince Edwin in a hushed voice. Ichiro and jirou can't hear them.
"W-- we're friends of jerry's. My name is Grace. Please forgive us, prince," grace whined. Prince Edwin frowned.
Alen pleaded. "Prince, we promise never to set foot in the palace again. So, please spare us, prince. Let us get out of this palace."
Prince Edwin took his hands out of both of their hair. "All right, I'll let you two go."
Grace and Allen seemed pleased and thanked them immediately. After that, they both walked toward the palace gate. Meanwhile, ichiro and jirou are both surprised and relieved. They thought prince Edwin would never release the two thieves. Still, it's a good thing they didn't bother explaining it to Jerry.
Prince Edwin stood up, then smirked. "You can leave after I cut off both your heads!"
Grace and Allen turned and turned with trembling bodies. It's the first time they've ever heard such a saying. There was nothing they could do but walk closer in fear. The two of them were clinging to each other. Ichiro and Jirou also have this creepy aura that suddenly burst out of prince Edwin.
Prince Edwin designates ichiro and jirou. "Both of you! Put these men and women in the dungeon!" prince Edwin commands.
"Yes, prince."

A few days later....
Jerry's awake from his blackouts. When he woke up, he was very confused. He stepped out of the squad room and looked at it like nothing had happened. In fact, he remembered the last time he fought in front of the palace.
"Jerry!"
Jerry turned his head and saw princess Alice scurrying toward him. "Your Highest." He immediately saluted.
"Jerry, are you okay? You were out for a long time."
Jerry seemed like a straight shooter. "How long do you think, princess?"
Princess Alice shows her three fingers. "Three days! Do you feel better? Do you feel any pain?" Princess Alice asked for a number of increasingly worried questions. He's also carefully researched Jerry's face.
During the blackouts, princess Alice would visit the squad room just to check on jerry. Brought him a cup of tea that he himself had made, hoping that Jerry would regain his senses. Until finally, today she didn't make any more tea because she didn't think jerry would wake up. However, the assumption was wrong.
"Princess Alice, what if prince Ken sees this?"
"Whatever. I don't give a shit. Besides, we didn't do anything. I just wanted to see how you were doing," said princess Alice with a happy smile.
Soon afterward, jerry saw prince Ken walking from the back of princess Alice. He lost focus on what princess Alice was talking about. Prince Ken is closing in, while princess Alice is still unconscious.
