" maybe I'm not but she can" the knight said.
After that the thief saw a white hair girl wearing a witch garb in front of him.

" Ella good job you catch him it's a good thing I hired you to help me guard the royal museum" he said.
" as long as I getting payed for this Robert" she said.
" hey that's sir Robert for you" he retort.
Then Ella ask if she ever speak formally to her friends and after much thinking he realized that she did not and just let it be.
After apprehending the thief Robert gives her the payment for the job.
" well thanks for the payment Robert I'm going home" she said.
But when she about to leave she saw a woman in a yellow dress about to approach them.
" who's that blue haired woman?" she ask Robert then Robert get shocked when he sees who she is pointing to.
" don't you recognize who that is, that's princess alinea I wonder why she's approaching us" after he said that he kneels when the princess is near them.
Ella is unsure if she kneels too or not but when she's about to do that the princess tells her that she didn't need to kneel.
" sir Robert you don't need to do that either I just came here to thank you both for saving our royal museum" the princess explain.
Sir Robert thank the princess then inquire politely if she need something from them.
" in thanks for your help I invite both of you to the royal feast tonight even to my wedding tomorrow" she said.
" you're gonna get married your highness?" Ella ask.
Then princess alinea said that she will get married to the prince of crimson heart this marriage will Also strengthen the alliance between the two kingdoms that used to be enemies.
" I hope I see you both in the feast tonight" the princess said.
" of course princess alinea we will be there for the food and the company" says by Robert then Ella interrupts that she's going in there for the food.
" come on Ella the princess is here be more formal" reprimand Robert.
" what?" Ella ask, princess alinea just giggles to their banter then said that it's okay.
" then Ella you should definitely go to my wedding the food at the reception is second to none" she said with a smile.
Ella just nods many times then the princess bid them goodbye, after she left.
" the princess is nice" she said.
" you've always say that to all people that give you food" he said to her.
" anyway you need a more formal dress for the royal feast tonight" he adds.
" nah it's fine I mean my witch garb makes me badass" then Ella proceeds to flex her witch garb.
" Ella it's the royal feast" he said.
Then Ella ask him to give her money for the dress which makes Robert balk since he already payed her minutes ago then Ella said that if he didn't give her money she just going in with her usual attire and if someone questions her why she's not wearing a formal dress she will blame Robert.
" the audacity of you to threaten a knight in broad daylight"
Ella didn't say anything she just smile at him then after that Robert just gave her money for the dress, after that Ella just leaves happily.
" cursed the royal feast because of it that woman drain more money out of me" then he proceeds to go home so that he can prepare for the feast.
The evening comes and Robert scratching his orange hair while waiting for Ella.
" where is she? We're late" he said impatiently.
three minutes later Ella finally arrives wearing a violet dress.
" sorry I'm late it's been a while since I buy dress like this so it took me long to choose what to wear" she said.
Robert is stunned he never thought that his friend is that stunning since he usually sees her in her witch garb.
" hmmm... I guess the money that you gave me is worth it huh..." Ella said while teasing him.
Robert suddenly blush before changing the subject and he said that they should go because they're late at the feast.
Inside the castle the feast is not starting yet only the appetizers are the ones present at the table but Ella is starting to munching at them especially the biscuits.
" beautiful dress very unladylike" Robert said.
When Ella heard that she flick her fingers she didn't say a chant but it's obvious that she use a magic on him.
" hey Ella did you just magic me" he started to walk towards Ella direction but when Robert step his foot to the ground it produce a duck sound.
Any nobles and knights that hears laugh some are even confused about hearing the duck sound, Robert glare at Ella.
" relax, the spell only last for one minute no big deal" she replied.
" one minute of ducking shame sure why not" he said while giving up.
" the king Guinevere arrives!!" announce by the page.
Everyone looks at the direction of the king along with the crown prince and her daughter princess alinea.
The king claps for everyone's attention then he started to speak.
" welcome everyone to the royal feast that being held here in this castle once a month for many generations, today this isn't just an ordinary dinner but also a celebration for my daughter that's about to get married to the prince of crimson heart kingdom may this unity last for eternity"
After the speech everyone claps even Robert jumps while clapping despite the duck sounds on his feet.
" and now here comes the main dish I hope all of you enjoy" the king adds.
When the main dish shows Ella is the first in line to get the food she use her acceleration spell just to become faster than anyone else.
After the feast Ella and Robert are so full they can barely walk and they both decided to take a walk to the royal gardens.
" so how's the food?" he ask.
" it's good" she replied.
" I can see that I mean you use some stomach ache spells on those nobles just to make sure you have less competition for the food"
while they're talking an arrogant man suddenly walks in front of them, Robert bows but Ella does not.
" what are you doing Ella bow to him that's the crown prince" Robert said to her
" what... Who?" she just ask confused she doesn't remember the crown prince on the feast because she's focus on the food.
" well what do we have here a clueless girl that doesn't know her place" said by the crown prince.
" who are you dude?" she ask.
Robert just went facepalm wondering why she call the crown prince dude.
meanwhile the crown prince looks pissed but he introduced himself anyway.
" I'm prince noel and you better remember it now bow down to the future ruler of this country" he declares.
" a pompous arse is the future king i should go to a different kingdom when the current king reign ends" she replied.
" Ella what are you saying?!" Robert screams.
prince noel looks more pissed then afterwards she smile grimly.
" I know what to do with you to learn your place" prince noel approach Ella in an attempt to kiss her but when he close his eyes he realized that what he's kissing is not a lips of a girl then when he open his eyes he saw that the one his kissing is Robert.
" you're highness... why?" Ask Robert while blushing it seems that kiss awakened something in him.
" what the hell?!" prince noel retrace his steps from being shocked, behind him Ella claps at the situation.
" I'm so happy that my friend finally found someone he loves" she said sarcastically.
" is this magic? You're a witch" he said.
" and what's that to you your highness?" she replied.
" I could have you hanged for this!!" he threatens her.
But instead of getting scared it seems that it enrage Ella and she started to give off a ominous evil dark aura that gives fear to the crown prince.
" what... what is this? why am I getting scared like this?" he ask in his mind.
" prince noel you have no idea what I'm capable of, if I wanted to I can destroy this whole kingdom in just a day" she said with spite and one of the statues in the royal garden crumble from Ella dark aura.
" remember that the only reason this kingdom is not burning yet is because my friend is here" she points at Robert and he seems a little bit scared too from Ella intimidating aura.
" but if you give me unnecessary threats like that again I will" another statue crumble after she said that.
Prince noel can't speak a word from fear but he nods it seems he realized that messing with her is a mistake.
" what's going on here?" ask princess alinea that appear out of nowhere along with a unknown man wearing a expensive noble clothes.
Ella just bows to the princess and explain that they're having a good conversation with the crown prince.
" oh it's good that my brother is being nice to you I heard rumors that he's kissing girls on a whim good to hear that a rumor is just a rumor" the princess said.
" of course your highness" Ella said while glaring at the crown prince which made him gulp and laugh so that his sister will not notice his fear.
" wait who's that?" Ella ask about the man with the princess.
" oh yeah I forgot to introduce this is my fiance" the princess said.
" hello I'm prince Vladimir the crown prince of the crimson heart kingdom" introducing himself.
after the crown prince of the crimson heart kingdom introduced himself the others are shocked that the fiance of princess alinea looks very young.
" instead of being her fiance you look more like her little brother" Ella adds.
" I know, arrange marriage are a mess in matchmaking" princess alinea says.
" this may be just an arrange marriage but I can easily tell that I will enjoy your company for many years to come my princess" prince Vladimir said with his sparkling red eyes.
Princess alinea almost squeal she can't believe that someone this young has this much charm, to change the subject princess alinea asked if they want to join them since she's about to tour prince Vladimir to the royal museum.
prince noel just leaves still a little bit scared of what happened, Robert agrees to go since he's hesitant to say no to the princess and Ella also go because she want to see the royal museum and she's curious about the prince of the crimson heart kingdom she feels like she sees his red eyes from somewhere before but she doesn't remember where.
A few minutes later they arrive at the royal museum.
" so this is the royal museum... No offense but it's not like what I'm expecting" prince Vladimir said.
" I know, many people claim that the royal museum contains treasure beyond imagination but to be honest this place is just where my father put his things before he becomes the king" princess alinea said.
Ella and Robert are confused about that statement then the princess smile and pulls out a curtain to show a big painting, the painting contains the image of the king killing a vampire with a stake in front of many people.
" woah is that our king?" Robert ask.
and the princess replies that he is, she reveals that he used to be a vampire hunter before he became the king.
Prince Vladimir flinch a little to the picture but he didn't say anything while Ella notice something familiar in the painting.
" prince Vladimir this civilian on the painting really looks like you" she said.
Everyone is shocked to the statement then they look closely and they realize that the civilian in the painting is in fact really look like prince Vladimir.
" that's probably my father or something" he replies.
" I don't know that the king of crimson heart kingdom is here didn't my father see him among the crowd?" princess alinea ask.
" oh I mean my real father sorry I forgot to tell you princess but I'm actually adopted, that person is probably my real father but to be honest I don't care about that" he said.
" oh I see I understand why you feel that way" she answer.
While they're talking Ella notice something strange among the items displayed in the royal museum it emits a dark magic that's familiar to her.
" princess alinea what is this red stone?" she asked.
" oh that is the blood stone I don't know much about it but my father tells me he got it from a vampire that he killed in the past" she replied.
" the energy emitting on this stone.. Don't tell me this is created by him?" Ella said in her mind.
Prince Vladimir just looks at the blood stone like he has the desire to take it for himself, Ella notice it which made her suspicious of him.
" it's getting late I think we should just continue the tour in another day" said by princess alinea.
" as you wish thank you for the wonderful company princess" prince Vladimir said with a bow.
" then princess alinea and prince Vladimir me and my companion will also take our leave goodnight" Robert said then after a few more waves of goodbye Robert and Ella leaves the two but before they separate ways....
" hey Robert you're still assigned to guard the royal museum right?" Ella asked.
" of course Ella guarding the things that precious to the king is the greatest honor" he replies.
" can you specifically guard the blood stone?" she requested to him.
And Robert ask her why but Ella just replies that she can't say it yet.
" drinks on me for three nights if you do this favor for me" she adds.
Because of that Robert agrees easily then went on their separate ways for the night.
