A Promise

"Take care, Baby Girl." Andre stroked Renny's hand. Asteria's family had time to say goodbye to their daughter who was now officially become the Crown Princess.

"Sob... My Baby Girl. Mommy will miss you, Baby." Violet cupped her daughter's face. Tears welled up from her blue eyes.

"Yeah, I'll miss guys, I love you all." Renny cried.

Renny hugged her parents before Jayden took her hand. Violet cried in her husband's arms. Andre looked sad too because this will be the last time They and Renny could be free to see each other without protocol.

"Come, Princess," Jayden asked Renny to follow him because the King and Queen had already gotten out of the house.

Sometimes, Renny turned her head to her parents. Andre and Violet nodded courage her.

Snap... Snap...!!

The sound of camera shots was immediately heard when the King and Queen came out from Asteria's residence. They smiled and waved hands before getting into their royal car. The secret service agents built parameters to keep the King and Queen safe.

After the King and Queen, Jayden and Renny came out, standing gracefully in their couple outfit, wearing the state attire for the crown Prince and Princess of this kingdom. Renny was too cute in her pink dove diamond crown.

Jayden smiled and held Renny's hand tightly. He was very happy, his dream to marry the girl he adored was in sight. Just one more step and Renny would belong to Jayden completely. Yes, their wedding would be held after Renny reached seventeen-year-old, just a few months before the wedding.

Jayden helped Renny get into the car, Renny's luxurious dress made her difficult to walk, and she needed assistance to get into the car. The secret service did the same thing to open the way for Jayden and Renny.

"Where are we going, Your Majesty?" Renny asked Jayden when the car's tires started to move.

"Travelling around the capital city until finally returning to the Shuijing castle," replied Jayden.

"Do I also come to the castle?" Renny asked one more time. She was a little bit terrified, she didn't know what would wait for her there.

"Of course, you're my future wife." Jayden kissed the back of Renny's hand. He smiled at his future wife so the girl would calm down.

"Can't I go back to my house anymore?" Renny stuttered, she would miss her Daddy and Mommy.

"Yes, Princess. After this, the palace will be your home." Jayden smiled intentionally.

Tears started to well up in Renny's eyes. She kept holding it back, but still, the tears came down, flowing slowly. Renny didn't know what to do to hide her sorrow. She was afraid of her future. She was alone in the castle, without her parent, friends, and Alex.

No family

No friends

No love

Today was a history for all the people of Wei kingdom.

Today was Jayden and Renny Engagement day.

Today should be a happy day for Renny.

But why was Renny feeling so sad?

"Why are you crying, My Princess?" Jay gently caressed Renny's cheek, wiping away her tears.

"No, Your Highness, I'm just too happy." Renny threw her face down, looked down languidly. Her words were full of lies, covering up the sadness radiating from her heart.

"I promise to make you happy, Princess." Jayden hugged Renny. Jayden comforted her.

The smell of Jayden's sweet and warm perfume tickled Renny's nose. Renny gasped softly when Jayden hugged her body, but immediately enjoyed it. The Crown Prince's embrace really meant a lot to her at this time. At least Renny knew that the Crown Prince's warm embrace accompanied her in the cold palace walls. Jayden showed his sincerity toward Renny.

"Now, keep your tears, princess, and show your best smiles to them. They will be your people someday." Jayden wiped the tears. The car's upper cap opened.

Renny saw a lot of people waving their hands to Renny. They shouted her name loudly, honoring her as the Crown princess. Renny could not blink even a second. She never imagined her first official announcement tour as the royal family would be this lively. Everyone held the mini flag and smiled as they accepted Renny as she should be.

"Now, wave your hand like this." Jayden stroked Renny's hand and pushed it to wave.

Renny's blue eyes met Jayden's black eyes. In one line, seeing each other intensely.

Duke of Zen's residence, Alex's room.

Alex leaned back on the sofa, watching TV broadcasting live of the procession of the state carcade around Nam, the capital city of Wei.

"SHIT!" Alex growled angrily, he really couldn't accept all of this with his common sense.

He had tried various methods, starting from the documents to the part of the organization of the election for the Crown Princess. But nothing was suspicious, everything was complete, even Renny's registration form was there, complete with her signature.

"Damn it!!" Alex held his glass. With overflowing emotion he threw the glass at the TV screen. Making it scattered, the electric short circuit produced sparks. Several servants and the head butler were shocked when they came.

"Young master Alex? What happened? Do you hurt?" They asked with their hunchbacks before him.

"None of your business!!!!" Alex got up and left the room.

[ I swear I will get you back, Renny.] thought Alex, he promised himself.
