7. Richer?

"You okay prince?." Conrad asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, uncle don't have to worry about me. What uncle has to worry about is our bodyguards. It seemed like they were injured quite badly, because the knight had already beaten them mercilessly."Answer Alaric

"Now what is the prince's plan?." Ask Conrad.

"My plan is still the same uncle. I wonder who exactly the knight is. Uncle see for himself how he fights

four of our bodyguards at once?." Ask Alaric.

"Hamba saw him prince. From the way he played the sword, I'm sure he seems to be very skilled. And that knight is definitely not Miss Audrey." Conrad

"Uncle's right. It wasn't him. I'm not as smart as that uncle and knight. But one thing I'm very sure of, she's a woman." Alaric said, and they left that place.

...

Audrey moved her feet hurriedly towards her house. In addition to being afraid of the robbers, Audrey is also afraid of being caught leaving without permission. Fortunately, grandfather and the others had not returned from the fields back then. Audrey came in and locked herself in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief although fear and worry were clearly still visible on her pretty face.

Audrey was very grateful that there was a knight who came to save her earlier. Otherwise, he did not know what his fate would be. In addition, Audrey also worried about Aiden (Alaric) who she thought was still lying in the middle of the forest road. Audrey wished she was okay, though in her heart Audrey was a little cursing because it turned out that the man who looked handsome could not do anything when there was danger threatening them. That's what he's thinking right now.

After feeling a little calm Audrey went to the kitchen to cook, because maybe soon her grandparents came back from the fields. Just as he was about to light a fire stove, the sound of someone calling out to him made Audrey very surprised.

"XENAAAA...you!! His screech was surprised, while holding his chest.

"Why is my sister surprised?. Do you think I'm a ghost?.." Ask Xena.

"Why are you suddenly here?. You've surprised me so much, Xena." Audrey Sahut.

"I was here from now on. It's just the brother who didn't see me." Reply Xena.

"Don't lie!! I was alone at home. Where did you come in from?. I've locked all the doors." Audrey.

"I have a spare key." Answer Xena a little.

"really?. Since when?. Why don't I know." Search Audrey.

"For a long time. Grandpa gave it to me." Answer Xena.

"Ohh. Then why are you home?." Ask Audrey.

"I just want to get some water. Our water supply is up." Xena answered, then poured water into the bottle. "Where did you go?." Xena's question made Audrey surprised.

"I'm not going anywhere. I was at home, she told a lie.

"It's not like you're brave." Challenge Audrey. " I'm your brother. I'm older and more mature than you. You don't need to know where I'm going from or where I'm going. Copy that!! Audrey. Xena did not say the words of her sister.

"Next time don't go without permission, especially with someone you just know." Xena said and then stepped her foot towards the door.

Audrey gasped at Xena's words, and turned to her. Why did he say that?. Does he know I went with Aiden?. He murmured in his heart. "Xena!! Wait." Wait." Call Audrey, make Xena's steps stop.

"What did you say?. Who's going?. I've been home, not anywhere?." Audrey. Xena smiled obliquely at her brother's words. I wanted him to say it all, but he didn't do it and chose to leave.

"Hey!! wait Xena!! I'm not done talking." Audrey said, but Xena ignored her. "Basic freak." Audrey grumbling.

After Xena left, Audrey asked her again, why Xena knew she was leaving the house. In addition, she was also afraid that Xena would complain to her grandparents. He wouldn't dare to do it, I'm sure. Audrey said in her heart.

Audrey doesn't know that Xena is the one who helped her. While he was in the field, strobby (his pet bird) gestured to Xena. Xena immediately left after saying goodbye to her grandparents. He follows where the bird flies, and turns out he takes it to the place where Audrey and Aiden were attacked by a herd of pretend robbers. But of course Xena did not know, if all that was just a scenario made by Aiden or prince Alaric to lure the knight who had saved himself out of hiding.

....

Two days later, Prince Alaric returns to Audrey's house to apologize and ask her how she is doing, though he also knows Audrey is fine. Arriving at the house, Alaric did not meet with Audrey, because there was no one in the house. According to his neighbors, all the residents of the house were in the field.

Prince Alaric then went from there, stepping his feet towards the forest, the same forest, where he met the mysterious knight. Currently he was standing on the edge of a small river that became a barrier between the village and a dense forest that looks creepy even during the day. He abandoned his intention to go there, because he was alone at the moment, and did not carry any weapons.

He set his foot back on a small hill, and sat there looking at the beautiful countryside. From there he could see the fields of the inhabitants that passed by a small river whose water flowed so clear. Also the peasants who were working in their fields, including the flower gardens of Abraham's grandfather.

His heart and feet were moved to step towards their fields. That day more people were in the fields, because most of them were harvesting potatoes and other crops. From a distance there was a girl who was busy putting the potatoes into a wooden basket. Prince Alaric was very sure the girl was the one he had been looking for. He moved his legs faster, then called out to him. "Audrey." Call Alaric. But he did not answer let alone look at her.

Prince Alaric repeated his call. "Audrey." He still did not answer his call. Maybe Audrey was angry, she thought. Prince Alaric desperately approached and patted him on the shoulder, calling his name back. "Audrey." The girl slightly gasped as she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. He looked towards the owner of the hand. The prince and the girl both flinched, but quickly the girl brushed off Prince Alaric's hand and stood up. "Who are you?. How dare you touch me?." Hardiknya angry, staring sharply and do not like the man in front of him.

Instead the man was stunned, looking at him with great admiration. This girl before him was so beautiful, it was even more beautiful than Audrey or the most beautiful royal princess he had ever met. His face, his eyes, his nose, his lips, his hair, everything was so beautiful to see. Prince Alaric seemed to be bewitched by the charm and beauty of the girl.

"Hey!! You're not deaf, are you?. Eys!!! The girl shouted a little.

"Eh..forgive me!! I'm...." Alaric

"Who are you?. And what do you want to come here?. I don't know you?." Ask the girl.
