Antagonists Want to Be Happy too
43
A quiet night with slightly cold weather, Ana steps her feet into a park close to the room where she is staying.
A lavender flower with its distinctive smell made Ana directly lower her back, to be able to smell the fragrant flower deeper.
"Do you know what lavender means?"
The deg!
Ana's eyes opened wide when she heard Cleo's voice that had just come, and Ana quickly turned her head towards Cleo who had walked over to her.
What am I supposed to do? Should I call him Prince? or Cleo?
"Do you mind talking to me?" ask Cleo.
"Mom... That's not what I mean Prince," Ana replied with great difficulty.
"I'm just not used to it yet" Ana replied as she closed her eyes.
"Is that so?"
Cleo plucked one lavender flower in front of Ana, and she immediately gave it to Ana, of course with a confused feeling Ana Langung received the flower from Cleo's hand.
"Harum right?" cleo asked with a smile.
"Yes..."
"Do you know what this flower means?" ask Cleo.
"It's not wrong to mean loyalty."
Hearing Ana's reply, Cleo immediately made a smile, "I didn't expect you to know what this flower means."
Ana just smiled at that, "Because in this place of residence flowers like this are very difficult to find, what else there are almost all residents there no one to plant flowers."
"really? if you could find out what kind of place you live in?" cleo asked with his eyes staring towards the sky.
"The place I left behind is nothing so interesting besides this world, where almost all the residents there are very busy with their respective work, children who are forced to learn, and who are forced to learn, people who live freely, not even a little for those who choose to commit suicide due to too much stress."
"The law there is also not as heavy as the law here, if here the residents who are caught stealing will be in the law of cutting hands, if the law is not broken, but there they'll only be in brackets for a few years."
"If you ask it better to stay here or there? Then I will answer, I would rather stay here," Ana replied with her lips that immediately smiled widely.
"Is that so? So why in the beginning you are stuck here, you want to be able to return?" cleo asked who was directly staring at Ana's face.
"That's... I said it like that, because there is still my family there, but when I know that my family is no longer there, I can only rely on Miss Teri, she said, forgive me if my presence here makes you a bit of a hassle," replied Ana who immediately lowered her body before Cleo.
Cleo just kept quiet, she glanced back at the sky with Ana still lowering her body, "Get your head Miss, you don't have to bend your body like that."
Hearing that Ana was just silent, she stood up straight with her face still staring at Cleo.
"Well... All right because it's night you should come back, miss, nice to talk to you," said Cleo staring fixedly at Ana's face.
With a smile Ana also replied to a remark from Cleo, "I'm also happy to be able to speak with you prince," Ana replied no less friendly.
............................
The next morning as they had planned, Teo, a soldier from the Valantie family, chose to return to the Valantie family residence before Ana and the others went to meet the Elves.
"Once again I thank you Mr. Teo, because thanks to you we were able to arrive safely at Achilles" Teri told Teo.
"I feel proud Miss, has managed to get you to Achilles safely" replied Teo who immediately lowered his head.
With a smile Ana also lowered her head when Teo also gave her greetings, after she had finished greeting Teri and Ana, respectively, he turned his back to Teri and Ana to ride his horse.
"Of course, miss," Teo replied with a nod of his head.
After he finished greeting Ana and Teri, Teo immediately stomped his horse rope to start his journey from the kingdom of Achilles.
Shortly after Teo's departure, Cleo, then Crown Prince of Achilles' work, came along with his aide and several servants who followed him behind.
"Has he gone?" asked Cleo who had just appeared.
"Yes." replied Teri who immediately turned her head towards Cleo as well as Ana.
"Well, let's go see the Elves" Cleo asked, who was immediately approved by Ana and Teri.
...----------------...
A tree so big was a beginning for them, when the horse-drawn carriage that Ana and the others had boarded had entered the territory of the elves.
"Beautiful.." Ana murmured as she saw countless strange creatures she had never met before.
The sound of the footsteps of the horses pulling their horse carriages, was heard very clearly making all the inhabitants of the forest instantly glance towards their direction.
"Let's go down," asked Cleo who was directly obeyed by Teri and Ana.
After they all got out of the horse-drawn carriage, Ana's eyes immediately fell on a tree so large that it had golden leaves, many of the elves who were sitting on the tree branch were included with some strange creatures that were there.
"Prince Achilles?"
Buk up!
Buk up!
Buk up!
"Eh?"
Ana's eyes opened wide as she was startled by Cleo and all her followers, who immediately bowed before the Elves who had just emerged from the big tree.
"BOUND YOUR BODIES BEFORE THE ELF KING!" cleo's orders were directly obeyed by Ana and Teri.
It's hideous!
Ana was immediately frightened when she heard Cleo's voice that was so heavy and authoritative, very different from Cleo who she spoke to that night.
"Stand!" the Elf King said to Cleo and the others.
Obtaining orders from the Elf King of course they immediately stood up straight again.
So he's the king of the Elves.
When Ana's body had been standing upright accidentally her eyes looked at the face of the Elf King, which makes his world instantly like stop walking because for Ana this is the first time in her life she can meet the Elves directly and also real.
Incredibly, can I now say that Elves are real?
"You guys!" the Elf King said to his people.
"Returning to each activity is not a spectacle" said the Elf King who was expelling his people.
Obtaining orders from their king, of course, made the Elves who had gathered around them quickly leave from there, leaving behind the Elf king and those who were still left behind.
"So... Prince Achilles, may I know for what purpose you came here for?" ask the Elf King.
