HAZEL IN CASTOR'S LAND
A Heartfelt Promise

The soft voice calling her name sounded melodious, waking her from the subconscious, slowly Alaric opened his eyes, the first time he saw was the Queen of Florida, after which Grandpa Van Hill. Alaric was stunned to see his Grandpa and Mother, wasn't he in London, where Hazel was? his inner.

"You're conscious, son? I'm very worried" said the Queen of Florida.

Alaric was still confused, why there was Rtau Florida and Mr. Van Hill beside him, he tried to spread his eyes to every corner of the room, it turned out that his private room was in the main palace Castor.

"I've been in Castor" he murmured.

He tried to remember the last incident before he was unconscious, Hazel and Emma were talking to Valencia, because already guessing the hang had happened, Alaric woke himself up from the bed, his chest was still sore, he said, but it hurts even more because there is no Hazel around.

"When have I been in Castor, Mom? Is Hazel coming?" tanyakanya.

The Queen of Florida glanced at Mr. Van Hill, when the Queen was also still saddened by the death of King Carlos three days ago, Castor State was still filled with sadness. Alaric did not know that, Mr. Van Hill has not yet told the sad news to his ailing grandson.

"Rest Alaric, you're still sick, let your mother rest too, she's also very tired from a week ago" Mr. Van Hill said.

Alaric looked at his mother carefully, when the Queen of Florida was pale, faint, her eyes were very swollen, very clear Queen Castor was just crying. Alaric thought to himself whether it was his condition that made his mother so sad.

"Mom, I'll be fine, it's a matter of my love's destiny, don't make you sad like that, I can get angry from Dad later," Alaric said.

Hearing the word "Father" from her son, the Queen of Florida can not stem her tears broke, she hugged the son just the wayangnya asked for strength to be strong face reality. Alaric was amazed by his mother's attitude, he turned his gaze to Mr. Van Hill, but his Grandfather looked down.

"What's going on? Why are you so sad?" tanyakanya.

Alaric looking from the window of the room, carried by the gate lined with black flags to mark the death of the royal family, Alaric now knew the cause of the grief of his Mother and Grandfather.

"Who's dead Mom?" tanyakanya.

Alaric beat the pillow, saw the red flag in the black flag ranks found the answer that King Carlos was gone.

"Since when? Since when did you leave without saying goodbye to me? Dad left just like that, huhuhu" The sturdy man was uprooted already by his father's deathly farewell.

Alaric felt like a useless child, not having a good hand to be beside his father in his last moments of his life.

"I'm not a good boy, I'm too busy with my own affairs" Hardic told himself.

" Take it easy, calm yourself Alaric.." Mr. Van Hill rubbed his grandson's head.

"I didn't accompany my father in his last days Grandpa" Lirih Alaric.

"It is not too late Alaric, your father did leave us, but his role remains, he advised you to advance Castor Country in accordance with the expectations of the people," said Mr. Van Hill.

The message was said by Raha Carlos before he died. Mendian King Carlos wanted Alaric to be the next King, becoming the King who led Castor in the new order.

"Your father has left the kingdom for you to take responsibility, you are the only focus of your father, Alaric.." Mr. Van Hill said.

Hearing that, Alaric got down from his bed, slowly he walked to the window, saw the vast expanse of Castor, the resident rim of his room's dadi artas, his room, but on the other hand, there is a love with Hazel that hangs, Alaric cannot choose between the two. Castor and Hazel sams-sama are important now.

"You promised me that in front of Mom and Grandpa, I would be the King who made Castor better and more prosperous, I promised Castor my life and death," said Alaric, who raised his hand to do the deal in front of the Queen of Florida and Mr. Van Hill.

After several hours of deliberating, the announcement of the entire Castor country would be held, a news for Alaric's inauguration as King would be held the day after tomorrow. After the Queen of Florida returned to rest in her own room, and Mr. Van Hill returned to her private room, there was Jasper who went back in to see Alaric.

"Sir, is there anything else I can help you with?" ask Jasper.

He knew Alaric was in need of a chatmate, Jasper was very sure Alaric was not doing well, only Alaric did not want to show the problems he was facing right now in front of his Mother and Grandfather.

"Jasper, sit here, lose yourself as commander for a while be your usual friend" Alaric said.

Jasper sat in a chair beside Alaric, on the balcony, the two handsome men looking at the flickering lights of Castor's house, and the beautiful forest.

"You ever been in love?" alaric asked Jasper.

The question surprised Jasper, this is the first time anyone has ever celebrated his feelings. But it would be impolite not to answer honestly, Jasper told the truth.

"Yes, I've been in love" she replied.

Hearing Jasper's answer, Alaric is very interested, a cold and reserved man like Jasper has never been in love, he thinks Jasper is too busy to feel such things.

"When? to whom? Are the women dumping in the palace? or the Castor people?" tanyanta again.

Jasper swallowed his saliva, a secret that no one else had ever told him, all this time he just harbored his love, trying to turn off his anger that he thought was inappropriate.

"She's a woman who's just another Prince" said Jasper, who was embarrassed to reveal her feelings.

"You embarrassed? Is your burly body too ashamed to confess your love?" ask Alaric. He still wanted to know who the girl Jasper loved was.

Jasper did not want to argue with the future King, even though Alaric was his friend, he had to respect Alaric as much as he could.

"Yes, she's the lady in the palace, but..."

"But what? she has a husband? is that one of my cousins? or one of the palace ladies?"

Jasper shook his head, he was so ashamed to take his own feelings before others.

"Tell Jasper, this is an order, say it clearly, have you ever fought for your love? how's your fight too? is your spirit the same as mine?"

Jasper shook his head, "I'm too good for that, Prince. I was just hiding behind a wall to see him smile, hundreds of years it was a play that I played, seeing it in secret," clearly Jasper with eyes that began to puff when reminded of the figure of the woman he loved.

"Why? you have a handsome face, a good position, you are a good person, what because you were cursed to be a horse?" ask Alaric.

"Maybe that too, but he loves others, I can't fight because he fights for others."

Alaric sighed, it turns out that Jasper's love story is more sad than he is.

"Who is Jasper?" tanyakanya.

Jasper was too afraid to say that, he knew Alaric would be shocked if he found out.
