The Queen Azzura's
Chapter 9

All participants and invited guests have entered the Arena. Because this event was held by the Western Royal Family who will be led by Azzura's Father. So they and their families sat on the main audience podium and could see the entire racecourse quite clearly.

Mr. Cariann sat down with Azzura and Mrs Elena while the concubines and their children sat on another bench which remained close to Mr. Cariann.

Azzura was already able to control his current emotions and sat quietly, he looked around the racecourse and the podium, much of which he did not know but not as slightly as his familiar face.

Azzura's gaze stopped on the one person whose face he missed so much, namely young general Teyo, in the future Azzira first, Teyo was the greatest war general of theirs. Teyo's father, who was the general of the time, was also famous for his prowess.

In the past, Teyo and Azzura liked each other like lovers, but Azzura's father did not approve of their relationship with a strange reason, namely General Teyo too often fought so that his body was full of wounds.

If Azzura thought about it again really hurt his heart, the refusal of the Father became one of the reasons Azzura joined the war in order to meet with General Teyo on the border against the rebels. But unfortunately since the rejection of his father General Teyo disappeared, until Azzura was sentenced to behead prince Teyo never again showed his nose.

There are reports that he died with the soldiers, but some say Prince Teyo wandered to help the poor people who were oppressed and would not return home because of heartache over the rejection of King Cariann first. I don't know which one is right, which clearly Azzura misses him a lot to date.

Teyo realized that if anyone noticed him just looked directly into Azzura's eyes, because Azzura was now very young, and Teyo was also still eighteen, so Azzura immediately shifted his gaze.

Teyo who felt stared at sharply became curious about Azzura.

The horse race begins, all participants have entered the arena and are ready to compete, there are five who compete every race session until later to the final round, the participants consist of several Princes and Nobles. The captured gifts consisted of several gold chests and rare gems that belonged only to the Western Kingdom.

The match was ready to begin, until the game was stopped for lunch. All invited guests are entertained with a sumptuous lunch and some shows. The last horse race has entered the final round because the participants all have their own greatness so it was immediately decided to go to the Final round without delay, there are four players ready to fight for the title.

Teyo, Prince Chiko, Prince Vargas and young Lord Torres. Prince Vargas represents the Eastern kingdom, Teyo represents the Western Kingdom. While Young Master Torres was a noble from the Western kingdom.

Formerly Young Master Torres was loyal to Azzura and several times they fought against common enemies, but when Azzura helped to fight the rebels on the border of Young Master Torres was consumed with slander and almost killed Azzura. From there their friendship is shattered, Azzura is angry and disappointed that Torres does not believe him.

And lastly he knew Torres was killed fighting the rebels because he was poisoned. As for Prince Vargas himself, Azzura had never met him. He was so mysterious that Azzura only heard his name without ever meeting him. So his face was also very foreign to Azzura.

Lunch continues with several performances presented by the Western Kingdom. It is like introducing the cultural customs of the kingdom and telling the world that the Western Kingdom is very strong and rich in cultural values.

“What do you think, baby?” Ask Lord Carian to Azzura, because since then Azzura was only silent and not as usual cheerful.

“No Dad, I'm just amazed by all the series of events today.” Answer with a smile.

“Azzura is anyone sick? Cause I noticed you've been very quiet lately.” Ask her dad to worry.

“No Dad, I'm fine. Calm down,” Azzura said again.

“Hm, alright...then I will leave you to greet the other guests.” The father went and left Azzura alone.

Azzura was still sitting in the chair to pay attention to all the guests who had come. It used to be because he didn't come to this event so didn't know who they were. Now he would really pay attention to the people milling before him, with the loyal Lola accompanying him.

“Lola, do you recognize those people?” Azzura asked his loyal servant.

At this time Azzura forgot that Lola who was next to him was different from Lola who used to be in the great Azzura, Lola used to be very deft because she diligently trained and learned to become Azzura's shadow bodyguard and helped Azzura to get all the information.

Azzura looked up and saw Lola who was still innocent. “Ah, sorry I just spoke,” He said quickly.

“Stupid, Lola is currently different from what it used to be.” His mind was upset and laughed a little.

While daydreaming Vanesa and Lily approach him. “Azzura do you want to take a walk with me?” Invite Vanesa followed by Lily bandages that are still attached.

Azzura looked up and looked at Vanesa. “No, I'd rather sit down and pay attention to everyone.” Azzura said.

Vanesa who felt ignored Azzura became annoyed. “Azzura, you're not polite on me,” Vanesa high notes on Azzura.

At the current age of Azzura he always did not dare to refute all of Vanesa's words because he was older. It was even as if the Crown Princess was Vanesa instead of Azzura even though the title was attached to Azzura. Azzura was always behind Vanesa.

but this time Azzura was different, he immediately stood up and looked at Vanesa sharply. Although their age is much different, but for the size of the height of Azzura and Vanesa almost the same.

“Not polite how Vanesa?” Azzura asked loudly.

Vanesa was surprised by Azzura's words. All this time he called her big sister and did not dare to look into her eyes like this. Lily and Lola were as surprised as Azzura said.

“You dare call my name?” Vanesa said softly but looked angry.

Azzura gave Lola her drink. “Obviously I called your name, what do you want to be called? Brother Tiri?” after saying that Azzura intended to leave but glanced at Lily.

"His arm is healed Lily, I hope you'll be careful next time huh." although it sounds like a good warning, but from Azzura's gaze this is like a threat.

Lily immediately panicked and scared, Lolapun who heard it was surprised but still followed Azzura who walked away.

“Kakak, you see right, Azzura is different.” Lily said with annoyance.

Vanesa stared at the departure of Azzura happy to hate and angry but tried to remain calm. “What happened to her, why is she acting so bravely now?”

The series of luncheon events were almost finished, the invited guests re-entered the audience podium, Azzura just finished from the bathroom and took the cloth from Lola's hands. Suddenly approached by someone.

“Mr Princess Azzura?” Ask the guy.

Azzura looked up and saw Teyo, a very familiar face, still looking young and fresh. Back then when they met Teyo already had scars on his temples due to fighting. But at this time he saw a clean and cheerful Teyo.

Azzura tried to control the emotions in his heart, longing for his lover in the future this made Azzira want to cry in the man's arms but it was impossible.
