Chapter 12: Departure

Third Person's Pov

All the soldiers along with Tigreal and the maidens who will be coming back to the capital were already waiting near the carriages along with the crown prince and the other prince's. Everyone seems to be eagerly waiting and excited to depart.

Soon some of the maidens seem to stop whatever they're doing and keep looking dazedly somewhere when the soldiers notice and some others each of them will follow the gaze of those who are in daze and will also end up in daze after seeing the cause of the matter .

"Hey their seems to be something wrong with everyone their acting weird" prince Kaja said in confusion the others along with the crown prince who are currently standing on the other side of the carriage turns to him questioning what he means through their gaze.

"Look they are standing like statue with their eyes looking daze" he said whille pointing some of the guards and maidens.

"Whatever lets see what is going on" Prince Kaja said and even grabs prince Valir as he walks on the other side to see what cause the commotion.

"You don't need to grab me Kaja hey you..." Prince Valir suddenly stop mid sentence

"Ohhhhh now I understand what's going on" Prince Kaja said in admiration.

The crown prince and prince Roger followed the two silently along with Tigreal and the rest of the guards whose with them. They also can't help but admire the alluring beauty in front of everyone.

Miya's Pov

"Hmmm Hilda seems like you made something unusual again with my appearance everyone seems to look at me weirdly" I whispered without looking at her. As I look forward trying to keep a mild smile on my face as I feel all the gaze around me.

" My Lady just believe when I said that you real look good no matter what your wear" I hear her answered while giggling a bit. For some reason I can't help but feel my face heat up embarrassed of what is going on right now. I really don't understand what wrong with this people during being a commander I am use to my soldiers looking at me with respect but this feels different and I can't really grasp the meaning of their gazes right now.

" If only you can give proper explanation" I can only mutter so that it can only be heard between us.

"But I did My Lady" this time she said while smiling brightly like saying the obvious thing on earth. So I can only sigh in defeat .

Since we're able to walk in front of the princes' group I bowed to greet them " Good morning your highness's seems like everyone comes earlier than I expected If I've known I also comes earlier with everyone else" I said .

" We're just used to waking up early and now we're just waiting for father and mother to arrive" unexpectedly thr crown prince is the one to answer.

" Seems like its a daily routine of his highness then. His majesty will also arrive soon we can depart earlier than plan then." I answered back. "Hmmm however everyone seems to be acting weird may I know the reason?" I can't help but ask soon the other prince's even my soldiers with Tigreal seems to cough at the same time which for aome reason is quite funny.

" It's because of the alluring view of the palace early in the morning my Lady it somehow captivates everyones attention" prince Valir suddenly said.

"Ohhhh you're right it's quite beautiful and peaceful indeed " I also agreed as I look at the palace.

"Since most of you might miss the palace it is indeed the right time to keep the view engraved in your mind." I nod as I added.

Everyone seems to be happy on what I said even Hilda on my side seems to laugh a little . I can also see the two nonchalant prince's ( Alucard and Roger) have a small smile on their face .

Alucard's Pov

Such a simple and naive princess. How can she believe such excuse when its obviously her that cause the commotion. Tsssk she really needs protection or some bastard will surely play her.

How can I let that happen. This brother will definitely keep her away from this bastards.

"His majesty and the Lady arrives" someone announce

Everyone greets them .

"Prepare to depart everyone"the emperor said which everyone acknowledge.

The emperor and Lady Selena enters the first carriage as assigned. And the crown prince escorted Lady Miya as she enters the courage. Which she didn't expect at all remembering her current identity she receives the hand of the crown prince to enter the carriage.

On the other hand before the other prince's follows to enter the carriage prince Kaja suddenly whispered " since when did Alu becomes so gentle to someone aside from his mother?"

"We just see it now" Prince Valir whispered back while prince Roger keep his eyes inside the carriage for a while before following inside before the other two whose still whispering to themselves.

Lady Miya sat alone at the back of the carriage while on the left side sat Prince Kaja and Valir, while the crown prince sat on the right side beside her along with prince Roger.

"The entourage will now depart everyone move forward" Tigreal announced as they left the Southern palace.

The departure to the capital soon commence.
