Stephanus' POV

I am here now in my office and leaning back in my chair. I just sighed deeply.

I finally finished the paper work that my father asked me to do.

In exchange for these paper works, I will go to the kingdom of Anazariya.

So even if it is tiring and stressful I have to endure.

The other day, because of what I did to escape while I was working, my father found out about it, so he increased my work.

That's why I haven't been able to sleep and eat well for a few days.

But all of that is over. This is the day I have been waiting for the most.

I will see her again.

* KNOCK * KNOCK

I adjusted my seat when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come In!"

And Cladius entered.

"What do you need?"

His name was Philip Cladius William. He became my personal assistant and not only that he also became my bodyguard.

Cladius was found by Father in one of the kingdoms he traveled to and because he was an orphan, Father adopted him.

We also found out that he has magic but when we ask him about it his only answer is that he does not remember anything.

"Your Father is calling you." he answered.

When I heard this, I immediately stood up and adjusted myself because when I face my father, I must be presentable.

"Let's Go!" my short response.

And then we made our way to the Stervallera hall. When we reached the Stervallera hall I immediately saw Father.

I immediately nodded respectfully I bowed in respect.

"I heard from Cladius that you were calling me Father. What can I do." my respectful greetings.

"I heard you finished everything I asked you to do right?"

"Yes Father."

"Last night the King of Anazariya agreed to let you stay there for a week." My father said.

When I heard this I almost jumped for joy.

"I hope you are careful there and do not forget that many tried to kill you.

That is why I want you to take Cladius with you on your journey to the Anazariya Kingdom."

"Yes Father. I will do that."

I am currently packing my essentials. I was just thinking that I would see her again my heart was beating faster.

Wait for me Anastasia!

When I came out of my room I immediately saw Cladius.

He also immediately took my luggage that I needed.

"Let's go!"

Then we went to the entrance of the palace and there was a white horse waiting for me and a horse with a carriage for Cladius because he would put our belongings there.

I rode a white horse and so did Cladius. I rode a white horse and so did Cladius.

Then we left.

Cladius' POV

My name is Philip Cladius William.

And it's been 2 months since I became Stephanus' personal assistant and bodyguard.

Being a bodyguard was not difficult, but only once was Stephanus really very naughty.

The king ordered me to be his bodyguard and at all times I would guard and protect him.

Because I was so grateful to the king for taking me in, I obeyed.

But that is not the only reason because I am also loved by the king and queen and also because they consider me a real child.

Even Stephanus accepted me as a brother.

We immediately continued our journey towards the kingdom of Anazariya.

I only noticed Stephanus when we were talking about the princess of the kingdom of Anazariya as if he wanted to see her badly.

"Claudius let's rest first." I stopped when Stephanus suddenly stopped and said it.

"All right if that's what you want."

We decided to stay at one of the inns near where we stopped.

"Let's stay here for tonight and tomorrow morning we will leave immediately." Stephanus said to me.

"If that is your decision go ahead." I replied.

"A room with two beds Miss."

After availing the room, we immediately went to the room given to us.

When we reached the room, Stephanus immediately ran horizontally and soon fell asleep.

While I was there, I arranged our equipment first so that we would not have any more problems when we left the next morning.

When I finished everything I had to finish, I lay down on Stephanus' next bed and closed my eyes tightly.

But later I also opened my eyes because I could not sleep well.

I tilted my head to look at Stephanus who was now sound asleep.

"Why is he sleeping so soundly?"

"Did he forget what his father said?"

"Or he is comfortable because he is with me?"

I shook my head but whatever it was I will just think about it next because right now I need to sleep.

When I was about to close my eyes, the woman I saw in the Stervallera Garden suddenly flashed through my mind.

If I am not mistaken she is the princess of Anazariya kingdom as I remember that was her introduction to me.

Since the incident that happened to her, she had to return to their kingdom to be treated and since then I have not spoken to her again.

But now that we are going to their kingdom and staying for a week I hope this time I will get to know her better.

And I closed my eyes with a smile on my lips.

"Cladius! Wake up!"

I opened my eyes when I felt someone is shaking and shouting at me. And there I saw Stephanus.

"It was good and you woke up. Fix yourself and we will leave right now and we will move to the next village." After he said that he left the room.

I took care of myself and of course our belongings and then I also left our bedroom.

And when I came out I saw Steohanus riding his horse while I was arranging our belongings in the carriage and getting on.

"Let's go and move on. We need to get to the kingdom of Anazariya immediately."

Then we made our way to the kingdom of Anazariya.
