The Hall was full with nobles. Dancing, drinking. Sierra was sitting on a chair.
Sierra: Talking in her mind "(sigh it is not fun at all)".
Aniston: he approached Sierra, whispered to her ears, and asked her for an audience in the terrace.
Sierra: "Mother… Can I?"
Queen: "Go ahead dear." ^ ^♥ she did not hesitate to let her daughter have a private talk with Aniston.
Sierra went to the balcony holding hands with Aniston.
Aniston: "Don't put yourself in danger princess. You should know that there are many who are willing to kidnap you or even worse."
Sierra: she remembered that he did not say a word when he was in the carriage escorting her to the palace when she fled. "But with all the training I've got---"
Aniston: he got closer to her, and put his hands on her shoulder and directly looked into her eyes "Please, I don't want to lose my precious woman."
Quiescence has conquered the atmosphere and she looked at him quietly.
She heard something moving in the bushes down there
Aniston: "Bothered by something?"
Sierra: "No it is nothing…" she answered politely.
Aniston: "Your gift is inside your room."
Sierra: smiled
Aniston: "Then, I will excuse myself." Grabbed her hands and kissed her
Sierra: nodded very politely and kept watching until Aniston left the balcony and went inside "No need for you to hide anymore." She meant the person who was hiding in the bushes. It was dark so she did not know his identity.
Hero: clapping his hands with a serious look in his face and a smile "The rumors were true. No one can hide from the princess. You are very well trained." he laughed "but that jerk---"
Sierra: "I think 'that jerk' was preparing to get you any moment now. Be careful." With a blank face.
Hero: "huh!"
One of the maids came: "Princess, please come inside. The performance will start now."
Sierra: whispered to him "…Be careful…" she said that without the notice of the maid.
........
Aniston discovered someone tied and placed in the basement near the place that Hero was hiding in. The tied man was naked and he is wearing his underwear only.
......
Sierra went inside and saw her sister near one of the giant cakes. She showed her smile from the bottom of her heart along with her sister. "The cake is the only one that can hear my wishes and grant them for me." Sierra said that in her heart
Everyone in the palace: "1…2…3…Now!"
Both princesses blew off the candles and made their wishes
Sierra: In her heart. "I wish to be free and journey all over the world." Then she looked at her sister and noticed a new necklace in her chest.
.........…..
Hero found someone with a smoke bomb. The bomber seemed to be amateur so he blew the plan when hero caught him.
Aniston: "Who's there!!?"
Hero: "Well, it seems that those are aiming to no good. Sir commander sir!!" sarcasm. Big smile in his face. Very confident.
..........
In the hall, everyone was enjoying the circus, magic performance and the food.
The host was lively representing the show.
The host: "Ladies and Gentlement, today in the twins princesses birthday. We will show you something you have never ever seen before."
Performance after performance and the night was filled with happiness and laughter.
The twins were sitting next to each other happily watching the performance. Benti and Baydoon were uncomfortable and sitting like a ball… cat loaf. Baydoon is sitting on Jewel while Benti is sitting near Sierra on the couch."
Sierra: "What's wrong with Benti?"
Jewel: "Baydoon is anxious as well. They don't seem to enjoy the crowd much."
Sierra: "Maybe they want to go to the bathroom. Guards, please escort them to our rooms."
Jewel: "Girls, follow the Guards."
Both cats: "Meawrrrr." And they follow the guards quietly.
host: "Come here princess." and he was aiming for Jewel.
Jewel: "Hm?"
Sierra: Smiled to her
Jewel was walking slowly and he offered his hand to hold the princess's hand but…
Aniston: he opened the door furiously. "We caught the rat." He caught Hero and brought him there.
Hero: "What the… Why did you catch me and let the real culprit run away."
Sierra: "You?!" in the dark back there in the balcony she couldn't see his face clearly but she remembered him. He is the one who she collided with in the city.
Aniston: "Do you think I will believe your story of the bomber."
Hero: "If I came to make a catastrophe, I should come with a sword not a necklace. I don't have anything in my possession." He meant the key made from diamond. He was holding the necklace of the princess she dropped in the town.
Sierra: "W-where did you find it? I thought I lost it forever."
Hero: "It dropped from you when you collided with me in the city earlier."
Aniston: "LIAR!"
Hero: "Tsk, Don't shout in my ears. What a pain in the neck you are just let me go already."
Aniston: "Now we caught the culprit, all of you, please enjoy the party."
Jewel grabbed the hand of the host and suddenly a smoke appeared around her.
Sierra is looking at the show smiling.
When the smoke disappeared....
Sierra: "Hm…. Where is Jewel?"
Aniston: "What's happening here?!!!"
Then an explosion occurred from the windows and the doors. Smoke covered the place
Aniston: Telling Hero "As we thought."
The people: "Cough, cough, cough."
Suddenly everyone heard a screaming
Sierra: "JEWEL!!"
Jewel: "!!!" 'cough' 'cough' "SIERRA!"
Sierra: "Oh no!" she tried to find her sister in the smoke. "JEWEL!" But someone grabbed her from behind. It was Hero.
Within the smoke, she didn't notice that someone was aiming the sword on her. That's why Hero caught. He caught her and kicked that person.
Hero: "Hey hold on don't wonder on your own." "Phew… That was close."
Sierra: "Leave me be!" and she has two swords in her hand.
Hero noticed the swords in her hands and loose his hand a bit. "So you can fight?"
Sierra: "Do you know how to fight?"
Hero: "Kidding? Of course I can!! You can count on me with that." He picked a sword from the ground and started fighting with it.
Sierra ran toward the kidnapper and Hero came too "I will help."
Hero cleared the road for Sierra.
Sierra: "Thanks!" nodded
Sierra: "Aniston, please keep the people safe. Don't worry, I will track kidnapper."
Aniston: "I'm coming with you." But she did not hear him because she was running.
Hero: He heard him "Don't worry. I will take care of her. I will keep her safe."
Aniston had no choice but to trust him and count on him "I'm counting on you! But keep your distant. I warn you!"
Hero nodded to him and turned then ran behind the princess.
When Sierra arrived to where her sister is. The kidnapper have already used a teleporting seal paper "You're next!" and gone.
Sierra fell on her knees with despair "NO!" she cried
