Chapter.48
That afternoon Safire was awaiting the arrival of Daniel who would discuss about the temporary hospital they planned to build with the policy of the Emperor on all costs to be incurred for the construction.
Safire walked through the living room, the familiar sound of laughter in his ears sounded.
"Jeez Zabrina, your taste is indeed very unique. Look at this cloth, why do you want to present it to me. If this cloth is made into my clothes, it will look terrible..." Prince Otis laughed out loud - bahak inside there.
Degh's!
Safire squeezed his chest, he shook his head continuing his footsteps. At the doorstep of Alex's Palace had just come from investigating the case of Levon's assailant, "You've come, how's the investigation going?"
"Lumayan, there's a meeting point, you're still waiting for Daniel?" ask Alex.
"Hm, take this. You promised you'd help us" Safire put down a pile of books he and Daniel wrote these days. About what are the tools - tools sober that must be prepared in that century, because there can be no modern tools there.
"Why don't you ask Albian." Alex cupped the books into a hug, he looked at the bodyguard.
"Albian must be ready with his sword to protect me, don't protest. You can go first to our room, or wait for Daniel to come with me here" Safire said.
Alex saw his Uncle Prince Otis and Lady Zabrina come out of the living room, he leaned closer to Safire whispering, "Do you still want me to have a show with you, you want Uncle to stay away from you?"
"Did your uncle walk in here?" reply Safire similarly whispered his.
"Yes, want to start?" alex asked with a smile.
"Why are you enjoying our situation?!" Safire growled in annoyance.
"Of course, Uncle took you from me. I'll-"
Prince Otis approached asking in a cheerful voice, no more voices of compassion or sadness like last night.
"It's Esmera's books, we're doing something" Alex replied, the man glanced at Safire.
"Please, Lady Esmera.. ah not Lady, is she still a Princess because you'll be back with Alex?" cynical Prince Otis.
Safire held back, then smiled. "Prince Otis, greetings Lady Zabrina. Just call me as you please, Uncle."
"Greetings Princess Esmera, we're just about to go horse riding. You want to come with us?" bring Lady Zabrina.
"I'm busy, please go both of you. I'm waiting for the good news of your marriage" Safire said with a smile on his lips.
Prince Otis did not even refute Safire's words as if he was really about to marry Lady Zabrina.
The atmosphere felt awkward, Alex wanted to say something but someone's voice sounded.
"Lady Esmera, I'm coming..." Daniel ran away in a hurry while carrying something in his hand.
"Come," Safire. He turned towards Otis and Zabrina. "I'm sorry, have a good day." Afterwards he walked away following the bodyguards of Albian, Alex and Daniel who had greeted Prince Otis.
Seeing the woman he loved in the company of 3 men without her made Prince Otis' heart even more sick, "I feel worthless in his eyes" he said.
Lady Zabrina patted Prince Otis on the shoulder, "You also performed too much earlier, why laugh so hard. You want Esmera to be jealous and come back to you, but I think Esmera is determined to end it with you. Prince, I have also been urged by my father to marry you. If they see us as familiar like this, don't the Emperor and my father assume we've accepted each other? This idea is very absurd for those of us who do not want to be together" protested Lady Zabrina.
"Let's go, isn't your lover waiting?" Prince Otis did not want to answer Lady Zabrina's words walking out of the palace with a troubled mind and an injured heart.
