MY PRINCE

Bab 21 - English Version

That day. The day Arga finished repairing Willy's character from dirty to clean. Actually, Willy is a robot, Arga found out about it when he was still in school. The chronology is when Arga accidentally saw Willy lying on the table, his metal belly just opened without the owner noticing. As a result, Arga was surprised and tried not to cause panic by approaching Willy and then closing his open metal belly as usual. That's the story, so in essence, Willy was never aware that he was a robot, he said that his strength was a gift from God, when in fact, it was one of his strengths as a machine man.

"So, how, buddy !? Have you met the princesses in this palace? I'm curious about your answer, buddy! Say it! Are they the same as what people talk about? I'm sure! After seeing them in person, they must be different. right?

One more. Arga arranged Willy's memory to go back to the time where the boy had not come to this palace, it was only natural that his reaction was like that. Ah, Arga is a bit lazy to discuss something that has been discussed, this is a risk when he sends his best friend's memory back to the past.

Indeed, Arga has often been doing this — managing his best friend's memory — for a long time, and he can't stop thinking that now he has to do the same thing again. It feels like nostalgia, when Willy tries to kill someone, Arga must immediately try to stop his best friend by making him pass out, then scrambling the short boy's memory to return to the past then Arga has to lie to cover up all of it.

Because he was forced, Arga also told everything about the princesses in this palace to his best friend, and Willy looked very excited when he listened to him, the boy's response was so fast that the author of the story was a little inconvenient. But, Arga is happy, even though he has to do the same thing as the first time he met Willy, at least, at this time his best friend has no malicious intentions towards anyone. Arga also deliberately tells the girls as good girls-even too good-so Willy thinks that they are not a threat to be destroyed.

"Wooooow! Incredible! I can't wait to meet the polite Princess Emilia! The diligent Princess Agnes! Cute Princess Victoria! Sweet Princess Laila! And also the friendly Princess Charlotte! Ah, I really can't help it! Buddy! "

And Willy's noisy nature is back to normal, Arga sees it between happy and uncomfortable, but he's grateful. His efforts to improve Willy's personality and memory have paid off. He was a little annoyed at the noise from his friend, but that was what he wanted, because Willy should have acted like that. If Willy suddenly changed from his nature - like what happened before - according to Arga, it was not someone he knew.

The phenomenon that happened to Willy's body wasn't a multiple personality disease or anything like that, it was wrong thinking. According to Arga, because the machine that regulates Willy's life has never been repaired, that's why sometimes this can have an effect on his friend's personality which can make his character change from usual, not just personality, this effect can also cause other things, such as feet. suddenly paralyzed, the five senses suddenly become dysfunctional, or lust that is difficult to control.

That's why, if these signs appear in front of him, Arga is always the first to knock Willy unconscious before his friend injures an innocent person.

"If you are really curious about their figure, you have to be patient, because a princess's job is not only to serve her fans, they are born humans who are very busy, so you have to ask the bodyguard's permission first so you can schedule your meeting with the princesses." said Arga with a cool face in front of Willy.

Meanwhile Willy seems easy to believe Arga's talk, which is more or less a lie. Arga could not possibly bring Willy with the princesses after this astonishing incident this afternoon. That's why he must be able to make Willy forget his curiosity about the princesses so that his best friend doesn't get into trouble.

Maybe I should reveal Willy's identity to them, so they can understand the situation and then be kind enough to grant Willy's request who wants to shake hands with them. But, that sounds difficult, considering that almost all princesses have a stubborn nature.

***

This afternoon, when Willy slept in his bed, Arga came out for a short walk in the main courtyard of the palace to enjoy the view of the sun setting under the shade of the pine trees alone. He smiled, seeing how beautiful the orange sky was decorated with flying birds, it felt like he was enjoying it with his family.

Talking about family, Arga also has a family like other humans, of course, he is not a strange creature born without a mother.

The horns embedded in his head are descended from his parents, as we know, the horns in his blonde hair are curved and black, like the horns of a goat. But in truth, Arga is not a half-goat human or vice versa. Arga is a true descendant of demons.

Actually, Arga comes from hell. He was on earth because of his mistake, he had tarnished his own kind name by doing good to other beings, a demon should have an evil soul like fire. But unfortunately, Arga is different from most demons, causing himself to be thrown from hell to come down to earth and mingle with humans.

Arga is thousands of years old, but his appearance is still the same as that of a human being in his twenties, that is the strength of a devil. During his time on earth, Arga found many happy and sad things. He already understands humans, even thinks of himself as human.

No one knows the secret of the real Arga yet, and he feels no need to make a big deal about it because fortunately, humans on earth have a fairly high level of tolerance for strange creatures-like Arga for example, who have horns on his head.

"You don't usually go to the main page, Arga." Suddenly there was a deep voice of a man, turned his head, apparently his guess was right, the King was standing beside him, together in the shade of a pine tree enjoying this beautiful afternoon.

"Ahahahah, you too, Your Majesty. It is unusual for you to go here alone. Was there anything you came here, Your Majesty?"

William landed his buttocks to sit on the grass with Arga. "Well, even a king wants to have freedom like you, Arga, hahahah." Hearing this joke made Arga laugh too, even though to be honest it sounded sadder than funny.

"By the way, Your Majesty," said Arga with his head tilted, looking up at the evening sky with a smile. "I heard that you will soon abdicate and you also appointed me to be the successor to the throne, is that true?"

Beside him, William joined in smiling and staring at the sky. "Yes, that's right," William replied in a gentle tone. "Sorry if my decision was too fast to surprise you, but I'm already sure of that decision because in my view, you deserve to be the next king, Arga."

"Your Majesty," said Arga quickly. "I am a traveler. I have never stayed in the same place for a long time, in fact, after marrying one of your daughters, I will take her to continue my journey around the world. I am glad you chose me as the next king, but- - "

"I understand what you mean, Arga," William immediately interrupted Arga's words. "You are a traveler and you want to continue your long journey after marrying one of my daughters, I understand your thinking because I was also a traveler like you, Arga."

Really, Arga's eyes rounded to hear it, he could not believe this fact. "R-Really?"

"Being a traveler is fun. You can go anywhere you like and stop at various places at any time, have lots of acquaintances from all over the place and get a lot of experience from the events that occur on your journey. I understand that. But, let me tell you one thing. , as long as I travel through various lands, as long as I pass through various cities, and as long as I become a true traveler, that's when I forget about my own life. Forget about my duties as a human being. Forget about everything related to the future.

"Your life will never be happy if you remain a traveler, because remembering the way home and making a family is an invaluable joy when compared to exploring this world. Do you understand what I say, Arga Gelisto?"

Currently, Arga's head is lowered, his eyes stare at the green grass that covers the ground, his eyes slightly teary. "The point is, you're trying to get me to come back home, right?" asked Arga in a trembling voice.

William rubbed Arga's back. "Of course, family is the best place for you to come home, and ahem! After you come home, you can also talk about your marriage to your parents, Arga."

Hearing the word family made Arga's eyes hurt even more. "What if my family doesn't want me to come back?"

Startled, William frowned. "What do you mean, Arga?"

"I have made a terrible mistake in the country I live in, causing them to expel me because they think I am a despicable being who must be eliminated. Because of that, I have nowhere else to go to, Your Majesty."

After saying that, his gaze shifted to the king then Arga smiled at William with a very painful smile.
