Chapter 17 - 13

Meanwhile, Princess Aishia, Princess Elise and Princess Freya arrive in the city. They started going around. They all wear robes to make them look not flashy on the street. Along the way, Princess Freya glancing at Princess Aishia. But Princess Aishia didn't realize it. Because she kept looking around like she was looking for something. But finally, she realized that Princess Freya was paying attention to her.

"What's wrong Freya, is there something on my face?" Princess Aishia tilted her head cutely.

"Nothing, it's just not usual that you wear makeup like that. Usually, you'll come out without makeup or just with thin makeup." Princess Freya smiled shaking her head and said to Princess Aishia.

Princess Aishia is the type of girl who likes what she is. It's not that she doesn't like dressing up or making up. But she has natural beauty without all of that stuff. But this time she dressed up a long time enough before going out.

"What are you talking about? I dress up because I'm going to meet a lot of people. And today is also my birthday. So shouldn't I look better than usual?" Princess Aishia tried to lie to her.

"Are you sure? Theo, do you think Aishia is prettier than usual now?" Princess Freya still doubted her answer.

"Yes, I think she's much prettier at the moment." Theodore nodded and smiled broadly.

"Geez... Stop teasing me. Shouldn't you give me a gift instead of mocking me constantly?" Princess Aishia puffed her cheeks in embarrassment and upset.

When Princess Freya asked Theodore's opinion about Aishia. He replied with a charming smile. But it makes Princess Aishia a bit upset and disturbed.

"Alright, but I'll give you my gift at the banquet tonight. But don't expect a better gift from your bracelet. Maybe you're the only princess in the continent who got an artifact Saint rank for a birthday present. Hehe." Princess Aishia said jokingly.

"I don't expect that either. And I don't care if it's an artifact or an ordinary bracelet. The most important thing for me is the one who gave it." Princess Aishia clasped her bracelet around her chest.

"Heeh... I'm getting curious about that guy." Princess Freya teased her.

"Sooner or later you'll know." Princess Aishia replied with a big smile like a blooming flower.

Princess Freya just smiled seeing her childhood friend like this. But there was someone who listened with an upset expression on his face. That man was Theodore. He could only grit his teeth at the smile of Princess Aishia that wasn't for him.

"Alright, I'll wait until then." Princess Freya could only smile bitterly.

"Yes, you have to wait." Princess Aishia smiled sweetly.

Suddenly they were startled by the sound of Princess Elise's screams.

"Nee-sama!! Look that Ziel and Siesta nee-san!" Princess Elise pointed towards the crowd.

"Yes it's Siesta and Ziel, Let's see them." Before the others could answer, Princess Aishia had already walk to Ziel and Siesta. She walk quickly so the others were left behind. They didn't know what made she walk in a hurry.

"Ziel!! Siesta!!" Princess Aishia shouted.

Hear that voice, Ziel and Siesta saw Princess Aishia running slowly towards them. Ziel's reaction was as usual, but Siesta was shocked by Princess Aishia's attitude. And what she was most surprised about was the makeup on Princess Aishia's face. Because she had never seen princess aishia apply makeup like that. Her face is now much more beautiful than usual.

"Princess."

"Princess Aishia."

Ziel and Siesta replied at the same time. Slightly lowering their heads. Princess Aishia kept watching them and what they ate.

"Where are you going?" Princess Aishia asked Siesta but glancing at Ziel's face and blushing.

"Nee-sama why are you walking in such a hurry!?"

Before Siesta replied, there was a scream from behind Princess Aishia. She could see Princess Elise, Princess Freya, Theodore, and Aryana approaching them.

"Hehe sorry elise, I got carried away." Princess Aishia smiled shyly in response. But Princess Freya kept looking at Princess Aishia. Because Princess Aishia will sometimes glance in a direction on a butler wearing a mask. And she remembers he was a servant recruited by Princess Elise.

(Heeh...There seems to be something between them)

Princess Freya thought in her heart. While thinking about some possibilities that might occur between them.

"Ooh, what are you and Ziel eating Siesta-neesan?" Princess Elise pointed to the food that Ziel and Siesta were holding.

"This is 'burger' Princess Elise. We bought it at the shop at the end of the street." Siesta replied while showing the burger seller's shop.

"Onee-sama, Freya nee-sama how about we buy it too?" Princess Elise drool at it and invited the two Princesses to buy it as well.

"Alright let's go..." Princess Aishia would approve it but stopped saying it when Hearing a noise from the direction of the city gate, She saw a dozen people tied up by soldiers and dragged. Princess Aishia frowned at this.

"What happened there?" She muttered curiously.

"I don't know nee-sama, how about we check it?" Princess Elise replied.

"Yes, we better ask the soldiers who are on guard, Aishia." Princess Freya agrees with Princess Elise.

"Let's ask them." Princess Aishia nodded softly.

Princess Aishia and the others walked up to the soldiers. Upon seeing the Princess's face, the soldier was startled and immediately lowered his head.

"Greetings Princess Aishia, Princess Elise." The soldiers greeted the Princess sisters.

Princess Aishia just nodded her head. And asked one of the soldiers immediately.

"What are you guys doing? And who are these people? Why are they tied up and dragged like that?"Princess Aishia asked curiously.

"Aah, they are bandits who are actively seizing the goods of merchants or people passing through the border forest." The soldier explained what happened.

"Aren't you too cruel to treat them? It should be tied up enough, right? Why do I see so many scars of torment?" Princess Aishia's tone sounded very angry at what the soldiers had done. And the soldiers were silent, no one dared to answer. They just put their heads down.

Ziel who was at the very back of the group didn't pay any attention to their conversation at all. He narrowed his eyes looking towards the alba mountain range. He suddenly said softly...

"They came..."

Suddenly the sky darkened. But it's not covered by clouds. But... The beasts and numbers might even be tens of thousands. The person leading them had black wings like a crow with white hair.

"Look what it is there...!!"

"Why did the sky suddenly darkened!!"

"Look at that beast, is it a magical beast? And there are a lot of them!"

"Heeeelp... There are monsters!!"

The people shouted. Princess Aisha and others looked towards the ten of thousands of beasts flying in the sky. And their eyes sank. They just fell silent. The pressure exerted by ten of thousands of beasts is incredible.

"Hahaha, so this is the place. Find that thing and... Destroy everything here."

There was a burst of evil laughter from the direction of the Alba Mountain Range sky. The beginning of the Argaint Kingdom disaster began.
