The young lady massaged her temple as she walked out of the room. The past event went so quickly and she didn't have the time to fully absorb the situation. The statement from Leo, the insult from Stamborg's delegate, and last but not least was the fact that Ken was here now, in the castle.
From what they told her, Ken applied for the soldier test as well and asked to be stationed in the castle. Liz didn't had time to ask more because the two of them need to report to their superior, leaving the female confused and even forgot why she came to Will in the first place. That day, she just returned to her room and didn't remember much about the things she did since there're too many things inside her brain.
A few days passed and now, after another lesson with Eleanor, Liz walked back again to the library. Every time she feels exhausted mentally, she would go to either library or kitchen. But since she won't get any peace in the kitchen right now, the only choice left was the library.
On the way to the library, she almost bumped into someone. And that someone was Ken, who smiled brightly to her. The one Liz avoided the most right now, yet now they met in an empty hallway. Ken took a good look at her and raised his eyebrows.
"They did quite a change on you."
Liz forced a smile. "I don't really mind with the change."
"Did I say I don't like it?"
That statement made her feel awkward. The 'new' Ken, is a bit different yet the same from before. They met before a few times again, and somehow Ken made an obvious move towards her. She felt uncomfortable about this, and surprisingly made her feel guilty.
"Ken, you know you can't be that free saying things about me now."
"Because you're the prince's Bashert partner now?"
Liz nodded. "Yes."
The male didn't say anything. He only stared at Liz with his green eyes, and it definitely made her felt uncomfortable. Before, she totally fine with this, but now that Ken's attitude somewhat changed, it's not the same any longer.
"What do you feel about me, Liz?"
She knew he would ask that sooner or later, but even though she knew, she didn't have the answer for that question. "I feel comfortable around you Ken, but I don't know if my feeling matched with yours."
Again Ken fall silent. A few second passed before he finally sighed. "Well, I'm sure you know my feeling for you. Just... consider it okay?" He said quietly before walked pass through Liz, leaving the female on the hallway alone, trying to keep herself together. All this thing made her confused, and now, she need a company from the books.
And so she held up her chin, and walked to the library again.

"Drounen?"
The answer she got was a nod. "I have small business there, and I was wondering if you would come with me."
Liz frowned. Drounen was another kingdom to the west of Fellenan Kingdom. If she's not wrong, the relationship between the two kingdoms always in good condition. Her eyes glanced to the side before went back to the prince. Leo never forced her to give an immediate answer, one thing she really like from the male.
Having a trip to another kingdom. When Liz was a little girl, she often dreamed about this adventure. Like the typical person from her area, she's full of curiosity, so seeing other places always been her dream. After getting to the palace, she thought she won't get any better than this. But what Leo just asked her was even beyond that.
