Cris said that sitting on the floor. Aren could not resist himself, he grabbed Cris and punched his face.
"You bastard! I will kill you."
Linda felt uneasy after seeing Aren's reactions. Juri, Stuart tries to stop Aren and Richard takes Cris and takes him far from Aren.
"You will pay for this."
By saying that Cris left the Duchy.
"Ah! What a disgusting man! Poor Elia the princess, she is so unlucky that her inheritance party went wrong! Now she is missing too. She must have been scared so she ran away."
Juri was shaking his head. And felt bad and pity for Elia.
"Aaah! I'll kill him. He's not a human, he's a beast."
Aren began to snarl in anger. He gripped the glass in his hand with such force that the glass broke and cut his gloves, blood gushing out.
"Aren! Blood! Why are you doing this?"
Linda was shocked, she rushed to Aren. She holds Aren's hand and casts healing magic.
"Heal!"
But Aren pulled away his hand. And he went to the window, looked outside. The sun was about to set down.
Linda was still confused,she did not know why Aren behaved like this?
"Stuart, Rechard make the preparations. We will head out tomorrow to search Elia and the rest of all. This time Dazel you also came with us. Linda and Juri take some rest for a while."
"Yes, Your Excellency, as you command."
Stuart, Richard and Dazel nodded.
"But, Aren!"
Linda tries to know why she and Juri are not coming with them.
"Linda! No more excuses. Just rest for a while. This time it will be a long journey so, you and Juri stay here Follow the every movement of that bustard Cris. And report me if anything bad happens here. Got that?"
Aren made a fuse, and ordered them what they had to do.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Juri replied with a bow. She took Linda with her and they went from there.
"Juri, What did you think, why is Aren behaving like this? I think something is bothering him. I am scared, I might be going to lose him"
Linda asked juri and worried about Aren.
"Sigh!Nothing bad will happen to him. And Richard, Stuart and Dazel will be with him too. So, do not worry about it this much." Juri tries to calm Linda.
"Let's go home." Linda proposed to Juri to go home.
"Yes. Let's go."
Juri replied to her with a nod.
In Duchy's room,
"Your Excellency, what is our next plan? This man Cris is a threat to you. He will destroy your plan."
Richard asked Aren what will they do now?
"Dazel, Inform each of every nobel family that nobody will be allowed to cooperate with Cris. It's my order. If anybody goes against my will they have to bear my punishments. And bring us some ordinary travellers' uniforms."
Aren Aren thought something after saying to Dazel.
"Yes my Lord. Eaah, Ordinary Traveller's dress? My Lord for all of us?"
Dazel was surprised to hear that. Stuart and Richard also looked surprised.
"Yes, you heard me. We will go there as regular adventures. Who completes their missions for earning money."
Aren replied and looked excited.
"I see, we will disguise ourselves. I did not go on a journey for a long time. It will be an exciting tour."
Stuart finds it exciting.
"But Your Excellency, Where are we going?"
Richard wants to know where they are going. Looks like Stuart and Dazel also wanted to know. They are eagerly waiting to hear what Aren will say?
"The South Heart Village."
While saying that Aren grabbed the curtain tightly and clenched his fists.
"My Lord, Why The South Heart Village? They might be recognised you"
Dazel was surprised, because Aren Grew up there. And everybody in The South Heart Village adores him. The village people follow him as their leader, their king.
"Bring us some long hair wigs. And let us call it a day now. We need rest for tonight."
Aren ignored Dazel's question of why he wanted to go to The South Heart Forest.
After that everyone went to their castle.
The next morning Elia woke up late. Lina brings tea to her with some bread.
"Your Majesty, woke up. It is morning already."
Lina tries to wake Elia.
"Emm, I want to sleep more."
Elia mumbled to herself.
"Your Majesty, wake up. Otherwise your tea will get cold."
Lina still tries to wake her up.
Elia jumped on the bed.
"Sigh!Do not ever mention Your Majesty. Just call me Nisa. We are only friends here."
Eila requested Lina to call her only Eila.
"Sorry! Your..Ma, I mean Nisa."
Lina felt shy by calling Elia's name.
"Lina, from today your name will be Tina, Okay?"
Elia gave Lina a new name.
"Thank you Nisa."
Lina replied with thanks.
"Aww Lina, Ups,sorry! Tina."
This time Elia mistook Lina's name.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!...
Elia and Lina both smiled with joy.
After having breakfast Elia, Lina and Xia went to the village market. Here they came to find a job for Elia. As Elia, Lina, and Xia strolled through the bustling village market, the aroma of freshly baked bread and roasting nuts wafted through the air, enticing their senses. The sound of merchants calling out their daily specials and the chatter of the villagers filled their ears. Amidst the vibrant scene, Elia's eyes scanned the stalls, searching for a glimpse of a job opportunity.
As they turned a corner, they stumbled upon a small, quirky shop tucked away between a bakery and a florist. A sign above the door read "Mystical Curios and Antiques." The windows were filled with an assortment of peculiar items: vintage clocks, intricately carved wooden boxes, and shelves upon shelves of dusty tomes.
Lina, being the curious one, pushed open the creaky door and stepped inside. The air was thick with the scent of old books and smoke. The shopkeeper, an elderly man with a kind face and spectacles perched on the end of his nose, looked up from behind the counter.
"Ah, welcome to Mystical Curios and Antiques! I'm Ezra, the proprietor. What brings you fine young folks to my humble abode?"
Xia, being the quick-witted one, spoke up. "We're looking for a job opportunity for our friend Nisa here. Something unique and exciting."
