Chamber of Emperors & Empresses
The empress was confused to see her husband from yesterday pensively. He walked over to the man standing, staring out the large glass window in front of him.
‘’Your Highness, are you okay?’’
Emperor Helios turned around and smiled. ‘’Ya, I'm fine.’’
‘’True? But I feel like you're not okay. Don't hold it yourself. You can tell it to me, that way your feelings will be a little better. Did something happen?’’ ask Empress.
Emperor Helios was silent for a moment until he finally sighed. ‘’It's about the wedding of Princess Rakia with the Fourth Prince.’’
‘’Eh? Is everything okay?’’ the Empress began to worry.
‘’I thought of how to solve this problem,’’ replied the Emperor.
‘’Um, I do not understand Your Majesty,’’ said the Empress.
‘’Princess Ukii and Princess Yuriki have just finished getting engaged, but Princess Rakia instead forced to hold her wedding. You know for yourself that it should be the eldest child who should get married first, then the next child, but ... I will talk to Princess Rakia first,’’ said the Emperor was about to leave.
Permasuri nodded with a worried look on his face. ‘’Your Highness, don't be too hard on him.’’
Emperor Helios nodded with a smile. ‘’Simply, she's my beloved daughter.’’

The Palace Corridor
‘’Ah~ I really don't know how we should be?!’’ princess Yuriki's Gerrutu.
‘’I am worried about the condition of Rakia's sister who is confined in the room. Is Brother Rakia okay?’’ anxious Princess Nikki.
‘’When I want to spend time with Rakia's sister,’’ Prince Yuga complained.
‘’Kakak Kairi, how about you?’’ ask Princess Ukii.
Prince Kairi just sighed. ‘’You also know for yourself, we can't do anything. If Ayahanda has given her orders, we must obey her.’’
The five people grumbled at each other with anxious faces. However, their steps came to a halt when they saw Emperor Helios rushing over while being escorted by the Maru Guards.
‘’That's it, isn't Ayahanda?’’ look at Prince Kairi.
‘’Ayahanda want to go where with such facial features?’’ ask Princess Nikki.
‘’Is it possible to room Brother Rakia?’’ guess Prince Yuga.
‘’Ha? Did Rakia sneak again?’’ guess Princess Yuriki.
‘’It's impossible. Rakia only has 2 roads if she wants to get out. First, the door of his room was escorted by dozens of soldiers, and both of his bedroom windows from the 2nd floor were escorted by dozens of soldiers below him. So it is impossible if he wants to sneak,’’ Prince Kairi said.
‘’Then why did Father rush in that direction? Isn't there only Rakia's room?’’ ask Princess Ukii.
‘’This Rakia sister is really not afraid to make mistakes to Ayahanda,’’ said Princess Nikki restlessly.

Third Princess Room
Princess Rakia who saw the dozens of soldiers under her bedroom window only sighed, while enjoying the gust of wind. ‘’Haa, I'm really bored.’’
Clamps!
Hearing the sound of the key twisting made him immediately turn around.
Chequek!
As soon as the door opened, the figure of Emperor Helios standing was staring at him.
Princess Rakia was silent to see the look on her father's face.
Did Ayahanda know about the room's tapping device? This fast? I was very careful not to get caught, he said in his heart.
‘’Ayahanda?’’ call Princess Rakia.
‘’I'll talk to Third Princess in private!’’ emperor's Order.
Maru's bodyguards nodded and bowed before closing the room door. ‘’As per Your Majesty's order.’’
Chequek!
Princess Rakia and the Emperor looked at each other without anyone talking.
