Princess Aludra walked sneakily. She watched Vin's movements from afar.

'This cannot be tolerated! I had to keep an eye on the stranger's movements. It could be, the man is an intruder,' thought Putri Aludra.

A moment later, Princess Aludra jumped because the man she had been monitoring for a long time turned out to be beside Princess Aludra at this time. Princess Aludra jumped in surprise until she was about to scream, but Princess Aludra immediately covered her mouth.

After clearing her throat once to restore her authority, Princess Aludra then said,

"Hey! Why are you here, huh?" asked Princess Aludra.

"I should be the one asking, Princess. Why are you following me, um?" Vincent Greyrat asked back. Actually, since earlier he had felt that he had been followed, but Vin was silent.

"I'm still suspicious of you. Can you prove that you're not a spy, thief, intruder or anything like that?" Princess Aludra said curtly.

Vin was silent for a moment, before finally bringing his face closer to Princess Aludra.

Again, Princess Aludra felt a strange feeling. There had never been a God as presumptuous as this before. Putri Aludra's heart even beats very fast when she is very close to Vin's face.

At this time, Vin could even feel that Princess Aludra looked very nervous around him.

"Hahaha, here's the proof, Princess. Where is there an intruder who can make a princess as nervous as you are now, heh? I'm a special man, as long as you know that," said Vin, so arrogant. Vin feels that arrogance must be repaid with arrogance as well.

"What do you mean, huh?!" snapped Putri Aludra, curtly. She felt that she was being toyed with by the man, and it seriously hurt Princess Aludra's pride. He felt fooled.

"Come on, Princess! I'm not an intruder, a spy or whatever you allege. I'm Prince Vin Greyrat. I only came here to find out the Ancient Book that explains, how to get God out of all seals." Vin Greyrat reveals his true purpose in coming to this Crystal Land.

Princess Aludra took a deep breath, then said, "Hmm ... it seems, you should ask my father directly, Prince."

"Can I see him now, Princess?" asked Vin, friendlier than ever.

If the Princess does good to Vin, then Vin will do even better. Likewise, if the Princess is cruel to Vin, then Vin will be much more cruel.

"Hey! Why are you silent? I'm asking you, can I see your father now?" Vin asked again, because he did not immediately get a response from Putri Aludra.

Princess Aludra patted her own forehead.

Gosh, Princess Aludra forgot! How should she answer her father's question about this prince. Couldn't she have admitted that she had harmed a prince from another country? thought Putri Aludra, confused.

"Hnn, my father is undisturbed. He is very busy right now," replied Princess Aludra, nervously.

An adult man, handsome and dashing, was suddenly between Vin and Aludra. They both jumped up, startled.

Well, that grown man is the King of the Crystal Land, King Althair.

It seems, Princess Aludra is in trouble at the moment.

"Father!" cried Putri Aludra, as if she couldn't believe it.

King Althair looked alternately at Princess Aludra and Prince Vin. After that, King Althair's gaze focused on his daughter.

"Who is this man, My Daughter?" asked King Althair, pointing at Vin Greyrat.

"Hnn, that so-and-so… he…."

"Father!" cried Putri Aludra, as if she couldn't believe it.

King Althair looked alternately at Princess Aludra and Prince Vin. After that, King Althair's gaze focused on his daughter.

"Who is this man, My Daughter?" asked King Althair, pointing at Vin Greyrat.

"Hnn, that's... he.... Oh yes, this man got lost in the Lotus Desert, Father. Our soldiers found this man injured and brought him here, Father." Putri Aludra tries to make up a story.

Vin frowned. In fact, it was clear that it was the daughter who injured Vin the other day. But, the princess didn't feel the least bit guilty?

In fact, the Arrogant Princess actually made up a story and said that Vin was lost. Vin couldn't understand what the Arrogant Princess was actually planning.

"That's not how it happened, Your Majesty! I was actually injured---ahh!" Vin's voice stopped, when Princess Aludra pinched Vin's arm a little.

At first, Vin glared at the Princess. He was annoyed because he was pinched so badly. But, Vin is starting to discover new facts now.

Vin nodded a few times and held his chin.

So, is this the real story? Vin thought. Win smiled faintly. Vin glanced sharply at the current Princess Aludra. 'You're trying to hide everything princess?' Vin thought.

Vin is now following the Princess Aludra game. He will participate in the drama as well as Princess Aludra is currently doing.

"Yes, as the princess said, Your Majesty. As the Princess said earlier, that I was lost. Finally, I have arrived here. I am Prince Vincent Greyrat of Gefroren City. Sincerely, Your Majesty." Vin put his right hand on his chest, and looked down.

"Okay, if that's the case." King Althair spoke. After that, the King left Vin and Aludra, who now breathed a sigh of relief.

"You owe me, Princess," said Vin with a cool, but mysterious smile.

"What do you mean, huh?"

***

Prince Vin and Princess Aludra have been in the library belonging to the Crystal Land at this time. The two of them had tricked the guards into getting into this place.

In fact, it was the first time that Princess Aludra entered the room.

King Althair forbade everyone, or God, to enter this Ancient Library. There are many secret books in it. And only the Land of Crystals has such a special library.

Due to Vin's threat to tell the King all the truth if Princess Aludra doesn't obey Vin, Princess Aludra is forced to obey Vin's request at this time. Princess Aludra violated the King's prohibition.

The two of them circled each side of the shelf, inside which were stacks of neatly arranged papers.

Princess Aludra's eyes fell on the golden book, which was on the far end of the bookshelf.

"That's the book!" cried Princess Aludra.

Vin followed in the girl's footsteps.

"Are you sure that's the book I'm looking for, Princess?" Vin asked, a little disbelieving. The reason, he was afraid of being tricked by the Arrogant Princess.

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure! Even though it's my first time coming to this Ancient Library, mother once told me that there is an Ancient Book in the library, which contains all the methods of releasing various seals and contains some other clues.

"The Book of the Ancients has a golden and luminous cover. Here, it is the only book with a golden cover." Princess Aludra spoke.

"Okay, what are you waiting for? Get it for me, Princess!" Vin ordered the haughty girl.

"Hey, how dare you command a princess, huh?! After all, the bookshelf is too high, how can I get there, huh?" snapped Princess Aludra. He really can't say soft when it comes to Vin, the man she still suspects as an intruder.

Without warning, Vin immediately grabbed Princess Aludra's waist and lifted her up high to reach the top shelf.

"HEY, GET THROUGH!! YOU ARE DISCOURAGED!! TWICE YOU HAVE HOLD MY HIPS, HEY!!" shouted Putri Aludra, which made Vin surprised and reflexively released his grip on Princess Aludra's waist.

Immediately, Princess Aludra fell to the ground, which was made of red crystal.

"Hahaha, sorry! You surprised me, Princess." Vin cruelly even laughed seeing Princess Aludra wincing in pain.

"Then how do you get to that place, Princess? Am I the only one riding on your back," suggested Vin, who really wasn't manly. Vin said while helping Putri Aludra to stand up.

"You bastard!! Disrespectful and heartless man!!" grumbled Putri Aludra, looking disapprovingly at Vin.

Vin cupped his hands in front of his chest and said, "I'm sorry then."

Princess Aludra nodded, although she was a little forced. After that, Princess Aludra looked back at the highest shelf, where the Ancient Book was.

"Alright, I'll get on your back!" continued Putri Aludra, which Vin agreed. Vin bowed.

With a bit of compulsion, Princess Aludra climbed onto Prince Vin's back. Princess Aludra is now on Vin's back. She tried to reach for the book.

However, when Princess Aludra climbed onto Vin's bent back, it couldn't reach the shelf yet.

"Just a little bit less, Prince!" cried Princess Aludra.

"Then you climb on my shoulders, Princess!" Vin's orders.

After hearing Vin's order, Princess Aludra came down. They both changed their positions. At this time, Princess Aludra climbed onto Vin's shoulders. Princess Aludra is standing on Vin's shoulder at this time.

Because Princess Aludra's body is small, so Vin doesn't feel too heavy even though Princess Aludra is currently standing on Vin's shoulders.

After trying hard and sacrificing Vin's shoulder, finally Princess Aludra was able to reach the Ancient Book, which Vin had been looking for.

"Yup, I got it!" cried Princess Aludra.

Princess Aludra moved with pleasure, causing Vin to lose to them both falling forward.
