Xena
8. Vano home

"Introduce!! I'm Aiden. Travelers who spend the night in this village. I came here looking for Audrey. And I thought you were Audrey." Answer Alaric.

"Oh....so you're looking for Audrey?. He's not here." Clearly the girl then continued her work, regardless of the whereabouts of the man named Aiden.

"Do you know where he is?." Ask Aiden(Alaric).

"He's gone home. You just look for her house." Answer the girl who is none other than Xena.

Prince Alaric pegged there, watching Xena who was putting potatoes in a wooden basket. Feeling noticed, Xena then looked towards him, asking cynically and sniffily." Why are you still here?. Go quickly!! The hardship.

"Can I help you?." Ask Alaric.

"No!! I don't need your help. Just go quickly from here. Don't you want to see Audrey?." Answer Xena ketus.

"Who's your name?."Ask Alaric again. Xena did not give her name even though Prince Alaric kept asking. "Hey lady, I asked you what is your name?. Don't you want to tell him?." Alaric's question made Xena even more upset.

"Why should I tell you?. Hurry up, 'cause I'm not used to talking to strangers." Xena answered, but Prince Alaric did not go. Xena then called his dog to drive out the prince Alaric, until finally the prince Alaric went from there. She met Audrey for a moment to apologize and asked her where she was and went back to where she was staying.

All night Prince Alaric thought of the beautiful girl he met in the fields this afternoon. His face and figure continued to dance in his eyes. He really wanted to know what the name of that beautiful-eyed girl was. "The eye!! Oh, my God, those eyes. Those eyes are the same eyes. Is it possible that girl?????" Alaric muttered while rising from his sleep, as he remembered the knight and the beautiful girl had the same eyes. He thought could it be that the girl he met earlier this afternoon was the knight who saved him?. I have to make sure of it myself. I need to find out where he lives. I'm sure the house isn't far from Audrey's. Or did I just ask Audrey?. I'd better find out for myself. Inner prince Alaric.

The next morning, Prince Alaric stepped into Audrey's house, and he hid when he saw Abraham's grandfather leading a black horse into the river, to bathe him, followed by Gloria's grandmother who brought food and drinks as usual. Shortly after, Xena also came out of the yard, watering the flowers and vegetables in the yard.

That girl!! Does he live in this house too?. Why did I just see him?. Could it be him and the Audrey brothers?. Why don't I think there?. Why did I realize that their faces were similar?. You stupid.!! It's in the heart.

After learning that Xena was living in the house, Prince Alaric found out about Abraham's grandfather's family to the royal officer. It was from the officer that he knew, that the beautiful girl who had beautiful eyes was named Xena. According to them Xena is a dissident girl, who always poisons the minds of citizens so they do not pay taxes. In addition, he also did not want to obey the rules made by the kingdom of Zephyra.

"Is that really?." Ask Alaric.

"Of course it's true. That girl is indeed very pretty, but also very annoying." The officer said.

"Then why didn't uncle arrest him, or report him to the kingdom?." Ask Alaric.

"The problem is not that easy. We can't just arrest the citizens." Answer the officer

"Why can't it?. Didn't uncle say the girl was a dissident and would not obey the royal rules?. Isn't that the same as rebelling?." Alaric.

"That's it, you won't understand." Answer the officer.

Prince Alaric grew curious about Xena. Besides being curious, he also felt confident that Xena was the knight who had saved him in the forest. His confidence grew even more, as he saw Xena bathing a horse in the river, although the horse he bathed was not the white horse that the knight was riding

Now Prince Alaric is hiding behind a boulder on the bank of the river. He noticed Xena and the horse in shape, and the large horse was exactly the same as the horse the mysterious knight was riding, only it was black. Prince Alaric would have been very happy if the knight had really been Xena. For that, he must prove it immediately.

In the blink of an eye, Xena disappeared from Alaric's sight. "Where is he?. Why is he leaving so soon. "Alaric muttered, coming out of hiding looking for Xena who suddenly disappeared.

A second later he was struck by something stuck between the nape of his neck. He turned his head slowly towards the left and as he expected, it was a sword, and the culprit was the girl, the girl he was looking for, Xena. "Who are you?. Why follow me?." Ask.

Prince Alaric immediately raised both his hands in surrender and would not fight back. "Don't kill me!! I'm not a bad person."The answer.

"I'm not following you. I was about to see Abraham's grandfather and accidentally saw your horse, so I'm here." Answer Alaric

"Lied.!! Sergey Xena.

"I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. I have no evil intentions, I just love that horse. Believe it." Reply Alaric.

"I don't believe in strangers that easily."

"I'm not a stranger. I am a traveler who has spent a few days in this village. My name is Aiden, I live in a government office. And I bought the rose from Audrey. You know him, right?." Ask Alaric.

"Ohh, so you took my flowers?." Xena asked in an angry tone.

"I didn't take it. I bought it." Alaric

"I've never sold my flowers to anyone, let alone to a stranger like you." Sergey Xena.

Prince Alaric is silent. He understood that the flowers might belong to Xena.

"I'm sorry!! I didn't know the flower was yours, because Audrey didn't say it." Alaric.

"I don't need your forgiveness. Get you out of front of me." Xena said as she threw the sword she was holding onto the ground, because it was indeed the sword of Prince Alaric.

"Wait on!! Alaric's voice stopped Xena's steps.

"I'm really sorry, for taking the flowers. Say it!! What should I do, that you may forgive me?." Ask prince Alaric. Xena turned her head slightly towards Alaric, then she smiled obliquely and stepped back her legs. And prince Alaric is after him.

"Hey !! Wait miss!! I seriously. I'll do anything, so you'll forgive me." Alaric.

"I'll forgive you if you can return the flowers to the way they were. Hows it? You can?." Xena asked with a dismissive smile. Then continued his steps, leaving Alaric in his place.

"alright. I'll do it." Alaric said, making Xena's steps pause for a moment. But then he stepped back with a smile, because he felt what the man who claimed to be named Aiden said was just nonsense.

"If I could do it, would you forgive me?." Ask.

Xena turned around and said; "Even I am willing to be your lover, if you can return the flowers as they were." Xena replied still with a mocking smile. Because all of that is impossible according to him.

"Do you really mean what you say, miss?." Ask Alaric.

"of course. I always mean what I say." Answer Xena.

"alright. I hold your word. Prepare to be my lover." Alaric said with a smile.

"Hahh, just keep on with your dream, Mr. Aiden." Xena replied with a dismissive smile, then left.
