Chapter 214 - Start Planning on our Escape (2) (2/2)
(At the borders between Alvannia and Jennovia)
The camp fire was burning brightly in the camp site. The army that the king of Alvannia lent to the crown prince of Jennovia is resting for the night after a whole day of traveling.
The camp consists of the Alvannian army and Prince Galdiolus' men. The journey back to the capital of Jennovia from the capital of Alvannia took at least a month in most cases.
”Your highness.” A male attendant bowed down to Prince Gladiolus who was sitting beside the campfire. ”Aren't you cold? We are just beyond the borders of Jennovia. The weather from here will be getting even colder. Why not go inside your tent to take a rest. From here, it will only take about a week to arrive in the capital.”
Prince Gladiolus smiled lightly. ”This will be the last time I can see the night sky clearly. Do not worry, I will be going in soon.”
”I understand your highness.” The attendant bowed down and was about to leave.
”Is Princess Elizabeth already sleeping?” Prince Gladiolus asked.
”As I recalled, she has just retired to her tent your highness.” The attendant replied.
”Haha, she is really a handful.” Prince Gladiolus chuckled.
The whole journey would have been faster and much better if Princess Elizabeth hasn't been throwing tantrums here and there. The journey that should have been a month long took double the time because of the moody princess.
”I think I will be visiting her tent before going back to mine.” Prince Gladiolus said.
Prince Gladiolus walked towards where the princess' tent was pitched. Unlike the tent used by the soldiers, the tents of the prince and princess are at least five times bigger and looked more elegant. When the prince was near, he can here Princess Elizabeth's yelling voice.
”Why is my bedding like this? It smells musky and awful!” Princess Elizabeth yelled.
”P-Princess, you asked us to wash the sheets this morning. They didn't get enough sunlight to dry all day, s-so it smells a little damp.” A woman, probably her personal maid, replied.
”Aren't there any other bedding then? I won't sleep in these awful smelling sheets.” Princess Elizabeth said in anger. ”I don't even know why I am here in the first place. I never gave my permission to be wedded to that crown prince!”
”A-Apologies your highness. Because the journey is long, we traveled light. We didn't pack that much.” The maid replied with a trembling voice.
”Do you mean you want me to sleep in that filthy thing?! Y-you…” Princess Elizabeth was about to slap her personal maid when Prince Gladiolus entered.
”It is in the middle of the night Princess Elizabeth. What are you complaining on about this late?” Prince Gladiolus smiled.
”Y-You… Why are you here?” Princess Elizabeth pointed her finger at the crown prince.
