15. A Princess Who Looked Like A Thief

After all the food was gone, Ariadne said goodbye to Charlotte. Their stomachs full of sweet potatoes. Ariadne quickly carried her samurai sword again.

"Time flies when we meet, Ariadne. When did you ask me to train you again?" Charlotte asked.

"Maybe in two weeks. Actually I want to be trained every day, Charlotte. But of course my body won't have the strength to wake up in the middle of the night every day."

Charlotte shook her head. "Don't do that. At least your health is more important than this exercise. Do we have to change the practice clock?"

"It won't work. Many will know where I am going."

Charlotte seemed to think for a moment. The girl is trying to help the other exit for Ariadne. And in just a few minutes, Charlotte came up with an idea. The girl flicked her fingers and said, "what if we practice on a predetermined day?"

Ariadne furrowed her brow. She didn't understand what Charlotte was saying. "What do you mean, Charlotte?"

"Ask for one day each week. One special day where you can go anywhere without an escort."

At first Ariadne's eyes widened with joy. But the next second her eyes fell back a melancholy. "Elie would never let me." Said it by tuning the lips.

Charlotte holds Ariadne's hands. "Try at least to seek Elie's permission and trust, as well as Darian's. Get one horse special for you to ride here. No more walking."

"But Charlotte, Elie won't let me leave without a bodyguard."

"Please try and seek your permission first, Ariadne. It's all for your own good. A few hours of practice between midnight and midnight will do just that. And I can't train you to the fullest. The light is not bright."

Ariadne was silent. She looked at Charlotte as if pleading with her. Charlotte's words are true, Ariadne will not be able to train in this way all the time. Martial arts exercises are best done when the sky is clear, not at night.

Ariadne's body also easily felt tired after a night's training. In the morning her body will certainly ache, especially to be bathed by servants who make sure her skin is completely healed.

Ariadne breathed slowly. Then looked at Charlotte who still looked straight at her. "Okay, Charlotte. I'll tell you in two days. At least two days I'll need to persuade Elie. After two days, send your dove to me."

Hearing that Charlotte just let out a big smile. The girl immediately embraced Ariadne's body. "You are the best, Ariadne. I'm sure Elie will allow you."

"Umm, you sure as hell are charlotte."

"Trust me, we're going to have free exercise one day every week."

Ariadne nodded. "Well, it's time for me to go back to my palace."

"Should I drop you?"

"No need, Charlotte. Go straight home to see your mother and sister. I'm sure they're waiting for you back home. Give them my regards."

"All right, Ariadne. Drive safely home."

"Yes. You too."

After that, Ariadne began to come out of their hiding place. The girl went back down the hall that looked just like the cave. Which is about ten meters long. Then went back through the curtain through the vines. And immediately a waterfall fell with a tremendous crash.

Ariadne made it out. He kept a little eye on things around. Like in case something comes down on her.

Unknown to Ariadne, Charlotte was already on the cliffs above the falls. The girl is watching Ariadne to ensure that Ariadne is safe and no harm will come to her.

Ariadne walks at a relatively accelerated pace. Until she finally got to the grass in front of the palace. The girl walks slowly behind the tall grass. Until finally it reached the side of the palace that was near the food dumps from the kitchen.

Ariadne directly climbed the walls of her palace stones. The girl's still very frisky. In fact, though, Ariadne's eyes are particularly sleepy. He feels that he's even starting to ache.

The palace is still very quiet. Only the sound of crickets and birds moving about at night. Ariadne climbs the rock wall that leads into her room upstairs.

BRUK!

I think Ariadne wants to swear. She dropped her body by making a loud noise from the floor of the balcony of the room. She had intended to jump, but she found that her legs were quite loud.

With a swift move, Ariadne immediately changed into her white pajamas. Ariadne was in a hurry to hear the sound of footsteps approaching her room. Who goes to her room at four in the morning? Would not the servants bathe her at about five o 'clock in the morning or half past six?

Ariadne's black undergarment and shoes were immediately taken under the bed. The lint of Ariadne's bed hung all the way down, so the thing under the bed was not visible.

Klek! Ariadne's chamber was opened by someone.

Ariadne immediately positioned her body on the floor holding her head. Like someone who fell out of bed.

"Princess!!" Darian screamed a little. The man was somewhat alarmed to see Ariadne wincing in pain and sitting on the floor. The man is supposed to help her up and she is seated at the edge of the bed.

Darian asked. "Are you all right, princess?"

Ariadne massaged her head. The right temple is flushed like a hit. Yes, just before darian came into the room, Ariadne intentionally was banging her own forehead at the edge of the hard bed.

"Ah, it's okay. I just fell. Why are you here?" Ariadne asked.

"I heard a loud noise from your room. I thought there were people who jumped up and did bad things."

"No. There is no one else, darian."

"Is that the sound of your body falling out of the bed? Did you have a nightmare that fell out of bed, princess?"

"Oh, yeah, I fell out of bed. I don't remember what I was dreaming. I feel like I'm running."

"But your body is light. You're not that heavy. There's no way you're making that noise just because you fell out of bed." Darian said deny the truth.

"Ah, forget it. Proof I just fell out of bed and no one jumped off or whatever it is you have in mind. Help me heal my wounds." Ariadne's words deliberately shifted the subject.

Darian nodded. The man quickly cleaned the wound on Ariadne's left side. It's not bleeding, it's just a few bruises. Darian is just a little compress with cold water.

"Didn't you sleep, princess? Your pockets are very clear and dark."

"Really?"

Darian nodded, the man had finished compressing the wound on Ariadne's left forehead. "Go back to sleep, princess."

"I had trouble sleeping. I would fall asleep in the middle of the night and dream like I was running. My sleep is not quality."

Darian smiled gently. "Therefore go back to sleep. Wake up early if you need more sleep. I'll tell my mom about this."

"You sure?"

"Yes. Go to sleep."

"Thank you Darian."

"You're welcome, princess."

And after Darian left Ariadne's room, Ariadne breathed a sigh of relief. The girl closed the door of the balcony immediately. Good thing Darian didn't see that the balcony door was open.

Ariadne breathed her breath once more. Immediately, she lay down and enveloped herself from the cold. Then she slumped straight into a dreamland with no idea what was inside.
