A Princess Pride is her Title : The Most Beloved Princess

Family

Randy looks at the knight that is panting in front of his office. Slowly, his calm face turn into a scowl.

Emerald is sitting in her room alone.
She is sitting on the chair while looking at the dark night in front of her open wide window.

She is playing with her feet, swaying them.
She never thought that one day she will be love by her parents.
But she also never imagine them selling her out so openly.

The West part of the kingdom near the boundary of the Muffery Kingdom is not a very safe place.
On top of the threat of invasion, there's also some mountain bandits lurking around.

The villagers are not very familiar with the Royal family. Nobody even know the face of them because they are ten days away from the capital. But they often trade with the city and they know the most famous princess in the street. Princess Emerald.
They said she was kind and lovely.
They want to reach out to her.

Because of that the King wants to send her away.
To handle the West side of the Kingdom as a royalty member it was her obligation to answer the needs of the masses.
But......She is 9 years old.
And on top of that, he place is really unsafe.

Its very unnatural for the King to tell her to go.
Its like he has sentence her to her death.

Emerald sighs.
She stands up and look at her dress she never thought she owned.

Very beautiful.
It matches her eyes.

She clenched her fist.
"Well...Whatever." she said and took a deep breath.

The King frowns seeing Froilan entering the King throne room without permission.
The prime minister is also shock.
They are about to reprimand him but Froilan is faster.

"I am resigning. Good bye."
He said and bow respectfully and left.
All they can watch is his cape swaying in the air.

"Wha--what?" The King hurriedly stood up.

The prime minister trembles.
"What...so rude!"

"What? Hurry and call him back!" The King panics.

The Prime Minister long been disatisfied with the General so he shakes his head.
"Your highness, it is time to let him go."

"What are you talking about? We need Sir Froilan's influence to make the Military stable!"

The Prime Minister shakes his head.
"As long as he is here. The military will not trully accept Prince Rodrigo as the new commander. Let him go. He is already old."

The King weigh the pros and cons and slowly he heave a sigh.
"Maybe........you are right..." the King heart is still a mess but he is already calm in the outside.

Randy walks to the King's throne room.
The King and the Prime Minister paused.
"....."

Randy looks at the King.

"I will resign. Good bye."

"What?"
The King heart trembles.
This man?
This man who threatens his life and position all his life will gladly leave? What is going on?

Unlike the King, the Prime Minister happily claps his hand.
"Finally! Your highness," he shouted happily.

The King also rejoice.
But somehow he felt that he is forgetting something very important.

Randy is bound to the palace.
He has always been someone who never step outside no matter what.
But he smiles at the border line he made himself.
