Chapter 14: 14. INTO HIS CHAMBER
It was getting darker, the air was getting colder. All the princes had gathered in Agnar. Including Leonard.
Not just the princes, the servants who are mostly dominated by women are also seen there. The lustful servants of the princes.
Their meetings, which always moved around - according to the domicile of the prince who would be the host - made the princes felt the taste of women in almost all eastern kingdoms. With the exception at Orva and Valliant.
''Does Crysta know that the prince who will marry her is a prince who thirsts a woman's affections?'' Prince Jack of the kingdom of Pakar said.
Leonard was being served by two servants at once. One was drinking from the same cup as the cheap woman. The other wiped the spilled liquid from Leonard's neck with a cloth. Then laughed amusedly when Leonard gave her a quick kiss.
''You speak as if you're so holy, Jack.'' Klein refuted. Because the idea to bring a woman to their meeting was based on Jack in the beginning.
Jack raised both hands in the air. Then he smacked his lips. ''I just wanted to remind you. Don't forget about Queen Ophelia killing King Brent's concubines. With Leonard's character like that, how many wives do you think he'll have? And it's possible that Crysta will do the same.''
''Crysta is probably very friendly with all of us. But she never knew about our meeting. Which means that even if Leonard has many mistresses, Crysta won't know about it at all.'' Klein raised both eyebrows, calm.
On the circular sofa, there were only Klein, Jack, Alexander and Tiago. The rest were enjoying the party on the other side.
''Very good. Learning from experience apparently. So Leonard would sleep with many prostitutes without Crysta knowing. Making her think that Leonard was a loyal person while Crysta enjoyed her position as queen without concubines. Very good at maintaining an image. But also cunning.''
Tiago, Klein and Alexander chuckled in unison at Jack's statement. It seemed that he had already guessed what Crysta's life in Lucard would be like.
''Are you sure Crysta won't know about it?''
''Only if you tell her, Jack.'' Klein dismissed sarcastically.
''Prince I beg you, take it slow. Ahhh.''
''Calm down, dear. You'll only be sore for a moment.'' Leonard fucked the two servants in a chamber within the room.
The four of them turned their heads to that room. Incidentally, the door was not closed properly. Leonard's voice that rang out, as well as the erotic sighs of the maids made Jack give Klein a condescending look.
''You see? I'm sure that your brother would be the one to leak it to Crysta by himself,'' Jack said firmly.
Klein hid his embarrassment by pretending to drink wine. Along with the noise of Leonard making love.

The next day in Valliant.
Monic ran as fast as she could between the hallways and the majestic pillars of the kingdom. It was still too early in the morning for her to do this apparently. Although she was not young anymore, Monic used all her strength to reach Crysta's room as quickly as she could.
BRAK!
''Princess...''
First, the sound of the door being opened without knocking. Two, Monic who entered quite riotously. Crysta immediately squirmed, opening her eyes slightly. Monic was already in front of the bed.
Looking towards the window, the sun was just rising from the east. Signaling that Monic had come earlier than usual.
''Hm? What's wrong?'' Crysta tried to sit up. Yawned and then rubbed her eyes.
''Get up, Princess. Look over here.''
Crysta turned her head lazily. Monic was already by the window.
''Are there any dolphins over there? Or is there another view besides the blue ocean as far as the eye can see?" she guessed originally.
''It's more than that,'' she said excitedly. Monic continued to smile as she entered Crysta's room. ''I swear that you will regret not seeing it.''
''Come on, Princess. Get up. Come here.'' The woman was still coaxing.
''Fine!'' Still half sleepy, Crysta finally joined her maid. Her eyes, which were a little droopy from sleepiness, instantly turned fresh.
The hundreds of Valliant ships had returned. Anchored at the east side of the palace. Crysta's smile grew. That means...
''Prince Pascal is back.''
Crysta smiled as she turned to Monic. There was no need to tell her that Crysta already knew that.
''I also heard the servants talking about the prince. That means you'll be having breakfast with him this morning.''
Crysta gave a small chuckle. Enjoying the babble while imagining it. Even while bathing, dressing, and combing, the smile on Crysta's face still hung. She couldn't wait to meet the Valliant prince.
''Are you ready?" Monic asked before opening the door to Crysta's room.
The girl nodded quickly. It seemed like the first time she was impatient to come to the royal dining room.
Two soldiers opened the door as soon as they saw Crysta coming. But unfortunately, all Crysta found was the king and queen. Just like any other day.
''Where's Pascal?" she grumbled softly.
''Crysta, dear.'' Queen Ruby pulled up a chair beside her for Crysta to sit on. As usual.
''Good morning, Your Majesty.''
''Good morning, Princess.'' King Brent smiled.
Crysta scanned the surroundings. In her seat, she looked uneasy. Even though the delicious food was already in front of her. But she did not touch it at all. The woman next to Crysta realized it.
''You don't like the meat, dear?" Queen Ruby guessed. Then she looked at the waiter. ''Then change to something else-''
''No, no. I like it very much, Your Majesty.'' Crysta
''No, no. I like it very much, Your Majesty.'' Crysta cut in quickly. Putting the piece of meat into her mouth as soon as possible.
King Brent chuckled at that. He then said, ''Have you heard that Pascal has arrived in Valliant?''
''Hm. But I haven't seen him yet. Why isn't the prince having breakfast with us?" asked Crysta innocently.
To be honest. Crysta was a little uncomfortable with the restrained smiles from everyone except her and Monic. There seemed to be something she didn't know.
''Seriously! He's still sleeping at this hour and will only wake up at noon? And if anyone tries to wake him up, then that person will lose their life?'' Crysta did not expect to hear this kind of thing from Natasha. No wonder the butler had asked her about the window curtains being opened or not. Apparently it was because of that.
''Now you understand why he is called a tyrant prince, Your Highness?'' Monic laughed. Crysta scowled.
''Even so, Prince Pascal is greatly admired on Valliant. He is very wise and firm. The people are very happy to have a prince like him,'' Natasha continued. Which was more like defending.
Crysta looked up at Pascal's room. The three of them were in the garden on the other side of the kingdom. Where the garden was located below Pascal's room.
Crysta thought. It was still eight in the morning. And noon was still a few hours away. She was very impatient to see Pascal.
''Alright then, you can go.''
Natasha bowed respectfully. Leaving Crysta and Monic alone.
''Why did you send her away, Princess? Aren't we going to get a lot of information from her? Considering our spies in this kingdom can't mingle closely with us because it would make people suspicious.''
''I want to discuss with you. And Natasha is not one of mine. I'm worried she'll foil this plan.''
''What plan, Princess? Please don't involve me-''
''You have to get involved because you're the only one of my people who can get this close to me.'' Crysta pulled Monic's hand, bringing her to sit down. The old woman looked resigned and also didn't dare to argue.
Five minutes later...
''That's the plan.'' Crysta ended the discussion.
''Seriously! You went into the prince's room and I was in charge of diverting the guard soldiers and servants who passed by?''
Crysta nodded even though Monic said it weakly as if disagreeing. But Crysta didn't care.
''I don't want you to be pounced by the prince's tiger, Your Highness.''
''Take it easy,'' From the direction of the garden entrance, Crysta saw five warriors carrying Titan to the side of the garden. Taking him for a walk. Making Crysta move her head for Monic to see the adorable and frightening scene as the soldiers seemed hesitant to touch Titan.
''You see? Titan is here. That means Pascal is alone.'' Crysta's spirit still hadn't disappeared.
''But- Akkh.''
Before Monic could protest, Crysta had already grabbed Monic's hand and led her away.
That's where they were. Sneaking around in Pascal's castle. Lurking from behind the great pillars. And discovering the complexity of things. Starting from the many soldiers, servants and also the important people of the kingdom who were also waiting for the prince to wake up.
''How many did you count?''
''At least seventy people including those who just arrived.'' A man dressed like Natasha, but in a male style. Crysta was sure it was the butler. The one Crysta didn't know was named Mathias.
The girl groaned. Exhaling a long breath, depressed. ''Do you have any idea how I can get into his room?''
''There is.''
Crysta turned her head. ''What?''
''Just wait until the prince wakes up,'' Monic replied quickly. For her it was the safest way. They were in somebody's kingdom, didn't Crysta realize that something like this was a form of crime? Monic snorted in annoyance. She could have a heart attack if she followed Crysta's every wish.
''Very funny,'' snorted Crysta sarcastically. ''But I'm not joking. So do your job so I can get in there.''
''I can't, Princess.''
''I know. But I don't care!'' Then Crysta's push caused Monic to come out of hiding. Making the woman visible to the soldiers.
''If I could choose, I'd rather serve another princess,'' her grumbling was heard by Crysta. The girl glared. Again, Monic was helpless.
Finally, she took a step while Crysta also continued to move from pillar to pillar until she reached the nearest pillar to the door of Pascal's room. At that moment, Monic carried out the action.
She fell down. Shortly afterward, she had a seizure. The focus of the soldiers and everyone immediately turned to Monic. Meanwhile, Crysta went straight into Pascal's room without anyone knowing. Although she had laughed at Monic's extraordinary acting.
