Loving You in My Way
CHAPTER 11

Arriving at the palace gate, the gatekeeper immediately saluted and invited the princes Tara and Shata in. They were welcomed by the residents of the royal palace with great joy. One of the ladies-in-waiting saw her head straight to the queen's room and told her about the arrival of Prince Tara and Shata.

"Greetings Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Tara and his bodyguard Shata have been in the palace" said Naira, one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting from outside the queen's room.

"really? Please tell them that I will meet them in Prince Tara's room soon" replied the Queen with great joy because she really misses her son.

"Okay Her Majesty the Queen will I say. I beg you" said Naira.

Nairapun rushed to the head of the royal guard, he conveyed the message of the queen who then the head of the royal guard ordered one of his troops to convey the message directly to Prince Tara.

......................

On the other hand, Prince Tara and Shata have arrived at the building belonging to Shata which has been promised by Prince Tara before.

"This building belongs to you and your father" Prince Tara said.

"Gee.. Well done, Prince, can you come in now?" Ask Shata.

"Of course, I will also tell you about who Zio is because I know you must have been very curious" replied Prince Tara.

"Every Prince, the Prince knows. Please enter the Prince" Shata replied as he opened the building's door.

Shata was amazed to see the inside of the building. Everything looks very luxurious with rooms and equipment themed in red and gold.

"Gee.. Very good Prince. Thank ye. I didn't expect to live in this luxurious place" Shata said.

"Yes. When did you let me sit? Do I have to stand like this? like the guards outside?" Answer Prince Tara.

"eek.. Please sit down Prince Tara. I'm sorry hehehe.. I was so amazed to see all this, it felt like a dream" Shata replied.

Suddenly.....

"Greet Your Highness the Prince" said one of the royal guards. The royal guard knew that Prince Tara was in the Shata building because Shata did not close the door, so Prince Tara was seen from the outside.

"Please convey that the queen will meet you in your room, Prince" the royal guard said.

"All right I'll be in my room soon, thanks for the information" replied Prince Tara.

"Okay Prince, I say goodbye" said the royal guard while saluting Prince Tara.

"Gee.. The queen will meet you Prince. Let's hurry to your room" Shata said.

"Yes, I should have met him first. In fact, he met me. Then let's hurry, let's go to my room" replied Prince Tara.

"Ready Prince" replied Shata as she put a bundle of clothes and souvenirs from Alysa's mother.

They leave Shata's building and move into Prince Tara's private room. Shata had already imagined how magnificent and luxurious the room belonged to Shata. Considering his building alone is already quite luxurious.

arriving in front of Prince Tara's room, the guards immediately opened the door. Prince Tara and Shatapun went inside. Like the one in Shata's shadow, the room was extremely luxurious, elegant, and extremely spacious. There are many golden dragon-shaped ornaments. The room was divided into several small rooms again, there was a bed, a place to read books, there was a small flower garden, and a room to welcome guests.

"Gee... Wide and very nice prince" said Shata amazed as he looked around the room.

Prince Tarapun sat in the living room and just smiled at the behavior of his friend who was considered very tacky.

"Greet Her Majesty the Queen" said the guard outside the room.

Prince Tarapun hurried to stand back up. When the Queen entered, Prince Tarapun immediately hugged his mother. Not only Shata, Prince Tarapun during his stay outside the royal palace was very difficult to meet his mother. Shatapun just bowed to see the incident, he was very moved to see the queen's mother and prince tara embrace while crying.

"Open your mask, son, Mother wants to see your face" said the queen.

Yes, during his time in the royal palace or temple Prince Tara always wore a mask to show his identity as a prince. He had been wearing the mask since he was a child. This is done because of the issue of the successor to the kingdom of Baradha who will kill the prince with the intention of wanting to seize the throne of the next kingdom. For this reason, during his stay with Shata in the village, none of the residents recognized Prince Tara including Shata because they knew, the Prince always wore his gold mask. Even rumors spread that the prince got a curse from the king of the kingdom of Baradha and anyone who saw the Prince's face intentionally or not, he would immediately die.

"I miss you so much, Mother" Prince Tara said as he removed his mask.
