After everything was prepared and arrangements had been agreed, the next day Mavis along with the emissaries from the capital left the place. Not to forget, in this group participate the children who do not yet have the ability to fight. The parents took off their sons and daughters heavily, they tried to smile and wave their hands, while tears kept pouring down their cheeks.
"Sion, be fine as long as you are there, don't bother the Prince," Masako told the younger brother who was already on top of the large wooden cart. Seeing the sister fold her hands on her chest, made the man even more relieved to leave the one boy.
"Sister don't have to worry, I can take care of myself." The cute boy turned away his ugly face. Actually he wanted to cry because he had to part with his brother, only he was embarrassed to show it.
On the other side of the same wagon, a girl of the same age watched the two brothers chat, occasionally laughing when she saw the funny action of her sister. The girl is actually Zahard, currently looks fresher face and body more maintained than when he was still stealing bread.
They set out, and the march went away from the border gate. Zion turned around with her face bent, looking towards Zahard with a face of dislike.
"Why are you laughing?" The little boy pouted as he felt the girl before him was laughing at him. You know, it's a shame that a man is humiliated by a woman. Only this was so excessive for a child of his age to fuss over such a thing, didn't he grow up prematurely?
Zahard stopped his action and looked properly at the little man, then said, "You look very fond of your brother. Why should you be ashamed to say it, won't you regret it later?"
"You know what!" Sion snorted in annoyance and took a sitting position beside Zahard.
The wagon where they both are very narrow because in it also contains food supplies during the trip later. Given that in the other carts and horse carriages there was no place to sit, they inevitably got a position in this cart.
"You're so lucky, you still have a brother who loves you."
"He doesn't love me."
"No, I saw it with my own eyes, your brother was so worried about you."
"Uh, he's just bragging! Why doesn't he come with me to the capital if he loves me!" Sion turned moody and bent his face down. He held back tears, his voice trembling as he responded to the cute girl beside him.
"Why are all the men in this world stupid?" Zahard sighed heavily when he saw the boy beside him holding back from crying.
"What did you say!"
"You're so weird, don't talk to me anymore!" said Sion.
"Come on, don't you want to hear my story? Then you will be very sorry to refuse."
"Shut up, I don't want to listen to you anymore!" Zion closed her eyes and both ears.
"All right, I'll shut up. It's just that I want to tell you that my story has something to do with the prince. He's really a dumb guy, why even bother helping a bread-thieving girl like me?" Zahard said with a slight murmur, he could not stop smiling as he recalled the moment when the prince helped him.
Zion swerved and shook Zahars body immediately, "What did you say just now, tell me! Prince, have you ever met him?"
Zion showed her enthusiastic face, her eyes sparkling as soon as she heard the name of the prince in Zahard's words. You need to know that Zion is a big fan of the prince! No, no, rather his secret admirer! While at home, Masako, her brother, often tells stories about the greatness of the prince, his kindness, and everything almost every day. His brother also told how close he was to the prince and had fought together to overthrow a dilapidated ruler before. Naturally, Zion was envious and on the surface said that she did not care about her brother's story, only behind her did she really admire the prince like a role model.
"Quick tell me, how did you meet the prince?"
"Why did you suddenly become interested? Didn't you say to yourself, I should shut up?" zahard said as he threw a slanted smile, trying to tease his new friend.
"No, no, I was just bragging! Come on, tell me, okay?"
"Then be my friend first. I'll tell you later!"
"All right, we're friends."
"My name is Zahard."
"Sion."
