Bad Intentions

On the way back to Odeviel Kingdom, Anastasia was escorted by two royal guards, a mage, and a swordsman.

After her horse carriage left the Trules Kingdom, Nathan sat across from Anastasia, telling about Prince Zach's bad intentions, who he knew when they met in the Trules Kingdom castle while looking for his elder sister.

"Elder sister, you have to be careful with Prince Zach and it's best not to approach him! It looks like he has bad intentions towards someone." Nathan was still guessing that the one Prince Zach was looking for was his elder sister. Nathan spoke quite seriously to his elder sister.

"How do you know if he has bad intentions for someone, Nathan?" Anastasia was curious about her little brother's warning because him and Prince Zach had just met.

"When I got lost in the royal castle of Trules, I overheard Prince Zach talking to himself in the hallway. He talked about a girl he met in the toilet. He talked a lot in an angry tone while hitting the wall several times. His character is very different when we meet in the Trules royal kitchen." Nathan hoped that his elder sister would believe in him.

"That's right, Nathan. In the kitchen, he's a completely different person! I didn't think Brother Prince Mills would be like that. Huff." She crossed her arms.

Anastasia was happy that it was not only herself who felt that Prince Zach had two different natures, good and evil. She blurted out about her meeting Prince Zach in the toilet. Her words unknowingly gave an answer to Nathan's anxiety.

"At first, I wasn't sure if the girl he was talking about was my elder sister. But it all made sense when I met you in the toilet cold. I'm sure you must be the girl Prince Zach was referring to." Nathan's anxiety became even more, when he found out that his guess about Prince Zach's evil intentions towards his elder sister was true.

Realizing that Anastasia's words made Nathan's expression even more anxious, she immediately explained to Nathan what had happened.

"I didn't mean to lie to you at that time, Nathan. When I met Prince Zach I didn't know him at all and only thought he was Prince Mills' brother because the shape of his face and the sockets in his eyes were very similar. But when I wanted to confirm whether he was the brother. Prince Mills or not, but before I got the answer he immediately attacked me with his magic." Anastasia felt guilty to her little brother for lying.

Nathan immediately stood up and bowed deeply for not fulfilling his responsibility from his parents. "I'm sorry, Elder sister, because of my mistake, you were attacked by Prince Zach. Even though I promised Mommy and Daddy to watch over and protect you from bad things. How can I make amends my mistake, elder sister? Should I go on foot to return to the Odeviel Kingdom? " Nathan really felt guilty and spoke seriously about his punishment.

"Eh ... d. Don't do it, how could I be that cruel to my sweet little brother, you better sit quietly and enjoy our trip back to the palace."

Anastasia really did not think her little brother guilt feelings were so excessive, even herself did not blame him. Anastasia felt her little brother's apology was too much and immediately raised Nathan's body which was bowed to her.

"No, sister. You have to punish me for my mistakes, I promised daddy and mommy to take care of you." Nathan still insisted that his negligence should be punished by his elder sister.

"Yes, let me think about punishment for you later, Nathan." Anastasia was very troubled when her little brother kept asking to be punished. She was not experienced in punishing little brother and asked him to wait when they arrived at the palace.

"All right, but daddy and mommy should know about your problem with Prince Zach. They need to know what crimes him committed to my elder sister." Nathan thought of asking their parents for help to overcome Prince Zach's bad intentions.

"No, Nathan! This problem should not be known to Daddy and Mommy, especially if my problem with Prince Zach was heard by the people of the Odeviel kingdom. Maybe something troublesome will happen. Better not to do that, my sweet little brother."

Anastasia tried to persuade her little brother not to complain about this problem to their parents, actually she was afraid of her mother knowing that she hit Prince Zach because she lost her balance while wearing heels.

"Very well, if that's what you want, elder sister. I can't argue with it, because it's for the harmony of the two kingdoms. But please remember my warning about staying away from Prince Zach."

Nathan thought it was his sister's good intention not to tell their father and mother about this matter so as not to cause a stir between the two Kingdoms. But in Anastasia's mind when she asked her little brother to keep her problem secret from their parents, they were only because she was afraid that her mother would find out what the problem was.

"Please just pretend nothing happened at the Royal Trules Tea Party. If daddy and mommy ask you about me, tell them what is fine. Let me work it out myself with Prince Zach." Anastasia was a little serious when she asked her little brother to keep her problem secret from their parents
