(THE SILENT TANTRUM)

-ASTROD KINGDOM-

"I'll take her home," Sir Aloit mention and carry Vendia bridal style as she sleeps in peace into his arms.

"Wait!" Prince Adam block his way,

"Adam," Sir Albert step right in,

"No, I didn't mean to start a fight," Prince Adam explain,

"Then what is it," Sir Albert ask,

"Let my guard escort you all out. There is a passageway for you all to get out into the castle fast," Prince Adam propose,

"Thank you, I'll talk to you later," Sir Albert thanked him, and Prince Adam nod as Sir Aloit pass by him with no response carrying Vendia.

For 30 minutes, they walk inside the place where Prince Adam called the passageway.

"Thank you for escorting us. You may go back to Adam now," Sir Albert thanked Sir Ken, then he follows his order.

"I'd be on my way then, your excellency," The physician call,

"Oh, yes. Thank you for helping us today, have a safe trip," Sir Albert responds, then the physician bow and hop onto his horse as he rides it away from them. Sir Aloit lay Vendia inside the Marquis carriage.

"Thank you for your help today, Sir Albert," Sir Aloit mention,

"Your welcome. Can I ask you a favor?" Sir Albert respond,

"A favor?"

"Yes,"

"Go ahead," Sir Aloit accept,

"Can you forget what happened today?" Sir Albert request,

"What? May I ask the reason?"

"If the marquis knew about what happened today. Riot will rise, then the king will also step into the problem," Sir Albert explains.

"Then? I don't see a problem with that. Your cousin is the one at fault for this," Sir Aloit respond,

"I know, but Adam will soon be king into this land, and the King will do anything to clean his son's name," Sir Albert elaborate,

"What are you trying to say right now," Sir Aloit confused,

"What I'm trying to say is that. Miss Vendia will be under surveillance not by my cousin only, but to the king also," Sir Albert explains,

"What?"

"Yes, and she can never live in peace if that happened," Sir Albert respond,

"Then," Sir Aloit look at Vendia, who sleeps on his lap in peace,

"What is your decision," Sir Albert wait for his response,

"All right, I understand,"

"I'm glad you understand,"

"I also want her to live life in peace and away from danger," Sir Aloit admit,

"Why are you so concern about her?"

"Because she is like a daughter to me," Sir Aloit confesses, smiling as he caresses Vendia's head.

"Now I understand. Don't worry. I will take care of my cousin. He won't bother, Miss Vendia anymore," Sir Albert swears,

"Thank you. I will trust your words," Sir Aloit responds, and Sir Albert smile then nod at him.

"I won't hold you both for long, have a safe trip back home,"

"We will, thank you again," Sir Aloit respond, and Sir Albert bowed at him, then they leave with the Marquis Carriage.

*PRINCE ADAM'S CHAMBER*

"Your back," Prince Adam announces Sir Albert arrival inside his room,

"Let us go to your office," Sir Albert demand, and Prince Adam nod.

"You all can go back to your job now," Prince Adam commands his three trusted guards, then they leave.

*PRINCE ADAM'S OFFICE*

"What is it you want us to talk about," Prince Adam asks,

"You," Sir Albert answer,

"Me?"

"Yes, we are going to talk about you and your behavior earlier,"

"What about it?"

"Why you act so rush?" Sir Albert ask,

"What do you mean?" Prince Adam got confused,

"Why are you letting your emotions eat you away? I told you so many times that it will cost a ruin to your success. Are you even taking my advice inside your head?" Sir Albert scolded him,

"I know, I'm sorry," Prince Adam apologies, admitting his mistakes,

"Don't apologize to me. You know too well that I am not the person you should owe that apology,"

"I know," Prince Adam responds, and Sir Albert deep sighs, stress.

"So, what's inside the letter?" Sir Albert asks, curious.

"Oh, the duke said that Cathlen visit the town with her maid without their notice," Prince Adam answer, and Sir Albert deep sigh again,

"See? I told you Vendia is telling the truth," Sir Albert press down his statement,

"But how can I trust the person who tried to kill my fiance so many times already?" Prince Adam argues,

"I know, is hard to trust her words again, and that is why I hired some of my people to find the physician who nurses her while she is in a terrible state," Sir Albert mentions.

"You what?" Prince Adam got surprised upon hearing his cousin's words.

"I figured things are unpredicted, and you will act like this again,"

"Like what?" Prince Adam ask,

"Like an idiot," Sir Albert answer,

"Okay,"

"And so I found where the physician live and for you to stop accusing Vendia,"

"What?"

"Clear your schedule tomorrow,"

"Why?"

"We're going to visit the physician who took care of Vendia,"

"For what?"

"To make everyone's life easier,"

"Okay, I understand. Let's meet at your art-store tomorrow morning,"

"Great, as for Sir Aloit,"

"Vendia guard?"

"Yes,"

"What about him?"

"I already settled things with him. You don't have to worry about what happened today," Sir Albert mention,

"Are you sure?" Prince Adam asks an assurance.

"Yes, as for the Physician you know what you will do,"

"Yes, I do. Don't worry. I have it under control,"

"Good, now I need to leave. I am exhausted and tired already because of you. I'll see you tomorrow," Sir Albert responds and leave Prince Adam's office without hearing his response.

"Thank you for today, cousin," Prince Adam murmur to himself,
