It seemed that the little boy in front of Fred was of the same age as him. But he has a mature attitude. So far, many people have always been respectful in front of Fred. When confronted, they always bow their heads. This was the first time anyone had dared to look at his face. He is the crown prince of the Southern kingdom during the event. Fred was silent. The guests are enjoying the event. They must not have noticed if Fred left the room. Slowly he left the place. Fred walked into the palace gardens.
"The atmosphere of the party must have made His Highness the Crown Prince uncomfortable."
Fred looked at the Lion crown prince, who was talking.
"I just don't like crowds." Fred replied with sadness on his face.
"Everyone has been nice to me. I know they actually talk about me behind my back. Even so, I must always look perfect."
It turned out that Fred was not the only one who experienced this. Maybe because they both had the same fate as the crown prince, Fred understood that feeling very well.
"Would you be my friend?" Fred held out his hand. The Lion crown prince looked at the hand in front of him. It wasn't long before the Lion crown prince accepted him. They shake hands with each other.
"Yes. From now on the two of us are friends."
Fred then smiled happily at those words. After the event is finished, they met each other a few months later.
"Can you play the sword?" Crown prince Lion asked Fred. A slow nod of the head represented an answer. Fred then took the sword given by the crown prince Lion.
"Isn't it dangerous if we fight with real swords?" asked Fred. At this age. They should only play with swords made of wood. Their teacher would be angry if they saw it.
"That's okay. My master has trained me with this sword."
Fred was amazed to hear that. Wouldn't it be hazardous if they got hurt? The life of a crown prince is very precious gold.
"You don't need to be afraid. I won't hurt you." Crown prince Lion added to his words. In the end, they both competed. Time keeps running. It didn't feel like it was getting late. Fred and the crown prince looked exhausted. Their sweat-soaked their bodies.
"Ah tired"
Fred threw away his sword. He then lay down on the ground. The crown prince then sat down beside Fred.
"So much fun, huh?"
"Yes that's right. I still want to play. How about you stay at my house tonight?"
Fred wants to spend time with his friends playing.
"Sorry, my mother is not well. I must go home."
"It's a pity. In that case, okay. But we should see each other often."
The day starts at night. The crown prince, along with his bodyguards, prepared to go home. The horse carriage then walked. Fred accompanied his friend's departure.
"I am home."
"See you next time my friend."
Fred waved. The crown prince looked at his friend from the carriage window. He then waved his hand. When the figure of his friend is not visible. Fred's face turned sad. Sebastian, who stood beside him, then patted Fred's shoulder lightly.
"His Highness the Crown Prince need not be sad. You can meet again at another time."
Fred nodded his head. Sebastian then invites his students into the palace.
"My first meeting with Crown Prince Lion was an accident. I really admire her courage and kindness. He is my most valuable friend. We lived through our teenage years. But unfortunately the destruction of Swift's kingdom made me break the bonds of friendship that we had been maintaining. I came to my best friend's wedding. She looks very happy. Actually I really wanted to ask why he always covered his face with a mask. But when I want to ask Instantly the intention was gone. I don't want him to get hurt. Swift's empire crumbled after one year of my best friend's marriage. The empress who is the wife of my best friend fell in love with me. He said his feelings but I refused. There's no way I can be with a woman who is the wife of my best friend. Son of my greatest enemy. Time keeps running. My current strength is not enough to destroy the Northern kingdom. Finally I decided to accept the proposal of my best friend's wife to be his concubine. As long as a concubine. I always avoid my best friend. Guilt and revenge that made me unable to meet him again. If we both didn't live in a world like this. I want to be friends with him. Talking and spending all the time with my best friend."
The crown prince closed Fred's diary. Then she burst into tears.
"It turns out that we are both the same. I also want to spend time with you. You stupid!"
The screams were deafening. The Empress, who was at the door of the Lion crown prince, then stepped back. He refused to go inside. It was better to let the crown prince for a while cool down. The moment the empress walked in accidentally bumped into someone's body. From below, you can see the shoes worn by men. Slowly the empress raised her face upwards. That man is Karol.
"Sorry I did not mean it."
Karol saw the princess was thinking about something.
"Is there something?" Karol asked the empress. The empress couldn't tell Karol about another concubine.
"There is not anything. I was just tired."
"Your Majesty's better get some rest."
"Yes."
The Empress left in a hurry. He wanted to get into the room as soon as possible. In the evening, the empress walked into the palace grounds. She couldn't sleep. The crown prince Lion has fulfilled his feelings. The Empress was eager to comfort him.
"Your Excellency?" Emmanuel called out to the empress gently. When she saw her face, the empress felt calmer. The Empress then walked over to Emmanuel.
"Would you like to walk in the park with me?"
"Servant is ready Your Majesty."
Emmanuel was happy because he was walking with the woman he loved. When Emmanuel looked at the empress's face. The empress's expression was not as usual.
"Your Majesty can tell the servant."
The Empress then smiled.
"What should we do to cheer someone up? I mean it's about the crown prince Lion. He had lost his best friend. I'd love to do something."
Emmanuel was silent for a moment. His heart ached when he heard his wife talking about another man in front of him. But Emmanuel realised that he was not the only husband of the empress.
"There are different ways of comforting a man. The Empress can bake a cake for the Lion crown prince or give him some warmth."
"What does it mean to give warmth?"
The Empress didn't know what he meant. Emmanuel then brought his face closer to the empress's face then smiled.
"Of course carrying out the duties of a wife to her husband."
The queen's face instantly turned red. He then stepped back backwards. This sounds so embarrassing.
"I'm going to ask the palace cook for help to teach me how to make cakes."
"That's a good decision, Your Majesty."
Emmanuel's facial expression brightened. The Empress did not understand Emmanuel's attitude.
