Keep Silent And You Got It
Part 5 - A Cup of Black Coffee
The Unexpected Journey
We set out in the morning blind with an infinite supply. I and the retinue from my palace quickly reached the north country, not knowing with what and how my entourage could arrive in an instant and without any hindrance. It is clear that in front of there is a gate, it is likely the gate of the north. Because his soldiers were wearing clothes similar to the soldiers' clothes on the night of the party.
We were immediately greeted by the soldiers, when we arrived in front of the gate of the Northern Kingdom. Our commander went down and showed permission to meet the king of the north, after getting permission from our guards to enter the northern kingdom which is famous for the trading center of the entire continent. The northern kingdom's economy is arguably the most stable and may even continue to rise.
Being a kingdom that has a stable economy is not a small thing, it is an achievement for the leader of the kingdom. Because the Northern Kingdom has fertile land, has gold mines, has unlimited resources and others. Not only did the kingdom have a stable economy, in terms of defense and security, the northern kingdom also ranked high in producing famous knights and adventurers.
Not only that, in the field of weaponry the northern kingdom is the best in making weapons. They are known as the Land of a thousand swords, the great ranking of this kingdom, they became one of the kingdoms that stopped the war that has lasted for centuries. Our kingdom can be proud to cooperate with the northern kingdom.
My father not only knew him, even my father was a friend of the King of the North. They're both like siblings, my father plays an older brother and the King of the North acts like a younger brother.
It is said that the greatness of the two of them if combined can flatten in one city in one night. In our city we welcome the people of the North who are friendly and beautiful. Northern country women have clean white skin and look charming, Men in this country also have a sturdy posture and also muscular. Their hair has a reddish-brown color.
After passing through the city, we entered the gate of the palace of the northern country. The gate in this country is so big, I was amazed by the beauty and splendor of the gate of this country. As we entered the gates of the north, I was struck again by the magnificent and beautiful palace of the north. The palace looked like the biggest jewel of my eyes, as I looked up at Olivia's window reprimanding me to keep her attitude.
"Why are you like that young man, take care of your attitude and get our business done here."
"All right..."
After that we were greeted by the palace maids who had already lined up beautifully in front of the palace door. Our waiter opened the door of our horse-drawn carriage, and in addition to opening the door he also gave me something.
"Young master, the King has entered the palace you better bring this just in case."
"For this waiter?" Ask me astonishment.
"This is the stem of the rose and this is the whole rose." He gave me a rose.
"Why did you give me this stem of thorny roses?"
"Have not much to say, the king must have waited."
Olivia and I caught up with my father inside, my pocket was full of things.One was a letter that my mother gave me and one was a rose. I put roses in my pocket to add an elegant impression.
Well-welcomed
Olivia and I were shocked and amazed by the interior of the palace. In my speech, the friendly and beautiful service left Me and Olivia speechless. Olivia and I were invited to sit in the banquet hall. After that the Father and the King of the North came from the door with the Northern Princess and the Queen.
Northern Princess looked at me, just so I turned my face away. My face reddened, enduring the embarrassment of seeing the face of the Northern Princess. As I looked again, the North Princess's face flushed red and tightly grasped her mother's hand while blushing in embarrassment.
My father sat down and followed with our royal ministers. Me and the Northern Princess sat looking at each other, it made an awkward atmosphere between Me and the Princess. Olivia asked me.
"Does this atmosphere make you hot, young man?"
"Hot?? what's hot??"
"Don't pretend not to know..."
"It's a little hot..."
Dad started the conversation with a discussion in the field of economics and also mining. While Dad was talking about it, Olivia was still teasing me, making me unable to bear it. I finally decided to get some fresh air, to calm my mind.
"Sorry, can I get some fresh air outside?" Ask Dad.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Here comrade may his young turmoil be burning." The King of the North answered to Ayahanda.
After getting permission, I was led by the maid to the palace garden.
"You're going after the prince, accompany him." The King of the North's orders to the Princess of the North.
"Good... Ayahand..."
After that the Northern Princess immediately followed my existence.
The Park
After I came out of the banquet hall, I was welcome to enjoy the beautiful garden, the garden decorated with ponds and fragrant plants.
Being in this park might be something special to me. I went around this Garden and took shelter in a tree, and suddenly the Northern Princess came up to me in the shade.
"Hey... Are you enjoying the park?"
"Well, it's like that..."
Instantly the atmosphere became peaceful and silent, the soft wind blew making the atmosphere very comfortable. The Northern Princess sat beside me.
"You what?"
"You're the only guy who makes me feel calm."
"REally...? Then thank you."
"No, I should be the one to thank you."
"But why?"
"You're the man I've been looking for all this time."
"Then maybe I'm the luckiest person."
"You are a very lucky person because my heart is already bound by love."
Suddenly my face flushed for no reason.
Is it possible because of his words?
"And I have a letter from my Mother, please give it to your Mother."
"alright.. Before I give you this how do we get around town?"
"Can I?"
"Of course, let's quickly sneak out over the secret passage."
"OK I'll follow you."
After that he pulled my hand, he led me down a secret path to sneak out. We made it out, but I still doubt if we can get out of the palace without guards. As her Northern Princess has often done her, I can only follow her.
"Where do you want to take me?"
"I'll introduce you to my favorite drink that you can't enjoy in the palace."
After he said that, he led me towards the store which was crowded with merchants and also laborers. In this tavern everyone was staring at us, the Northern Princess ordered two drinks that she said before her. After all giving their gazes to us, they approached the northern princess.
"Your daughter brought back a man?"
"Is he your lover?"
"Is he the man who asked you to dance?"
The words continued to be spoken, until finally after paying us out of the crowd. After that we headed back to the palace.
"Do you know them princesses?"
"Well, wait why are you calling me princess, just call Rosella understand...!"
"Didn't you like being called a princess?"
"No, I just want to get more familiar with you."
After re-entering the palace, the Northern Princess again invited me to a place. This time he took me over the tall palace fence. Up here is a guard room that is not in use. I don't think it's like a room but it's more like a balcony. Luckily, there was still a chair that had not been moved by the guards. After that we sat down, then enjoyed the drink earlier by looking at the view of the city from above.
"This is my place to relax and reflect." The northern princess.
"Is that so? I think that being a princess is easier."
"No. Unlike your thoughts, it seems to be true the words of my older sister."
"What did he say?"
"That all men have the same mind."
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay let's enjoy this drink while it's warm."
Before I take a sip, I look into the cup. It seems like the color of this drink feels familiar and after I sip the taste of this drink is also very familiar on my tongue. As it turns out, this is black coffee that exists like the real world. After drinking a mouthful, a loud voice came back finally it was time to say goodbye.
"Rosella, thank you I'm glad to see you.."
