Ezra ran hurriedly and stopped in front of the Crown Prince's palace, two guards were seen in front of the gate, the girl approached one of them.

"Guard, please allow me to meet the Crown Prince. I have something to say."

"What do you want to say?" Mahesa asked suddenly, Zein's personal bodyguard walked closer to Ezra.

Ezra walked a few steps closer to Mahesa after the gate guards opened the way.

"Sir, please allow me to meet the Crown Prince.”

Mahesa observed Ezra, there was no cunning or lies in the girl's eyes, finally he nodded and led the girl to the back garden.

In the back garden near the lotus pond, Arsy and Zein looked at each other, the beautiful girl was hypnotized by the Prince's sweet smile until she unconsciously moved her lips closer to Zein's lips.

"What are you doing?" Zein's cold and flat voice snapped Arsy out of his reverie. The girl blinked several times and realized the embarrassing thing she had just done, she immediately turned her face away in embarrassment because she almost kissed a Crown Prince.

"Arsy." Ezra was shocked to see her best friend almost kiss a man's lips without realizing it.

Arsy was surprised and immediately got up from her seat and walked quickly towards her friend. "Ezra, you happen to be here. Come with me to the room."

"Wait." Mahesa turned his attention to Ezra.

"Don't you want to look for the Crown Prince?"

Zein turned his attention to Ezra and looked at the girl curiously.

"Ezra, what's wrong?" Arsy asked, also curious.

"Arsy, don't misunderstand. I don't want to steal the Prince from you," Ezra replied.

Arsy was confused when she heard her friend's answer. "T-that's not what I meant, you shouldn't talk like that."

""It's about Prince Afzam and Prince Jiao Hua," said Ezra.

Zein's forehead wrinkled when he heard the name, he got up from his sitting position and walked towards the beautiful waitress.

"What do you want to tell me about them?”

Ezra lowered her gaze, not daring to look at the sapphire irises. Realizing that her friend was hesitant and afraid, Arsy patted her friend's shoulder gently, making the girl flinch and look at her friend.

"Ezra, don't be afraid. You can tell the truth, Prince Zein won't blame you."

Ezra's brown irises rolled over the figure of the man with long golden hair.”“Your Highness, I heard that the 7th Prince asked the 8th Prince to cooperate in eliminating Your Highness.” The girl’s voice trembled, afraid that she would not survive.

Zein waited for Ezra to continue the story because he was sure that was not the only thing the waiter wanted to say.

"The 8th Prince likes the Throne and the 7th Prince wants the throne," Ezra continued.

Zein smiled faintly. "I understand, don't worry, just pretend you never told me this."

Arsy was surprised to hear Zein's answer, she turned to the man with a questioning look.

"Mahesa, come with me." Instead of explaining to Arsy, Zein chose to leave the two girls together.

Arsy felt disappointed with Zein, she turned her attention to Ezra. "Sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize?" Ezra asked, confused.

""His Majesty actually asked you to pretend that you never said anything to her," Arsy explained, feeling guilty.

"What are you talking about? I am just a servant, what the Prince did was right. That way I will be safe from the 7th Prince," Ezra replied with a sweet smile.

Arsy was amazed, it turned out that his friend was much wiser than her.

"You're right, I'm so embarrassed because I was disappointed with Prince Zein."

""Calm down, even though His Majesty looks very cold, he has already chosen you," replied Ezra.

Arsy nodded even though she still felt guilty.

Meanwhile, Zein stepped towards Afzam's palace, and he and Mahesa walked through a long corridor.. From a distance, Jiao Hua was seen walking towards him, the man's face looked happy as if he had just won a prize.

""Greetings, first brother," he greeted politely.

"What are you doing here, Hua?" Zein asked, pretending not to know.

""Just walking around and congratulating the 8th Little Brother," Jiao Hua replied.

"Hm." Zein nodded slowly.

"Big brother, I heard that you and that maid are getting married. Don't you feel like you're hurting someone's feelings?" Jiao Hua asked, pretending not to know.

"What do you mean Afzam?" Zein replied to make sure.

Jiao Hua pretended to be surprised even though he already knew.”Oh? Did you guess it? I don't know what would happen if you two became enemies, don't you care about Afzam very much?”

"Why should he and I be enemies?" Zein walked a few steps closer to Jiao Hua and said, "Afzam is not a cunning person like you, he can come to me if he really wants the Arsy."

Jiao Hua grinned. “Why are you so sure? Everything can change, we’ll see… whether Afzam will side with you or me.”

Jiao Hua and his personal bodyguards walked past Zein, from behind the wall Afzam fell silent hearing Zein's words.”Brother Zein really trusts me, but will Brother Zein cancel the wedding?" she thought to himself.

Zein's gaze was fixed on the figure of the cloth behind the wall. "Apparently Afzam heard."

He walked towards the wall and stood beside it. "At 20 years old, you still like to eavesdrop."

Afzam was surprised to hear Zein's sarcasm, he slowly walked out of hiding. "Brother," he said awkwardly.

"You must have heard earlier, are you serious about releasing Arsy for me?" Afzam asked curiously.

"I never tied Arsy down, I didn't force her either. If you like her, why don't you come to him and talk to her. If she really chooses you, I will help you marry her," Zein answered without looking at his younger brother.

Afzam was stunned to hear Zein's answer, he had misjudged his brother.. It turns out that Zein is not someone who doesn't care about other people's feelings, but he actually doubts Arsy's feelings for him.

"Then… does Arsy like me?”

Zein turned his attention to Afzam.”Why don't you just ask me directly? You are the little brother I trust the most, whatever your decision is I will respect it, and whatever decision she makes later you must also respect it."

Afzam nodded. "You're right, but I don't dare. You'll take me to meet her. You don't mind, right?"

"What?" Zein was shocked to the point where he wanted to hit his brother's head.

"Afzam, I am your future husband, and you ask me to accompany you to declare your love for your future wife? Are you out of your mind?”

Afzam grinned. "Okay, I really appreciate it, brother. Then I will come to her, I hope she accepts me."

Zein nodded even though she felt reluctant to let go of the woman.

With light footsteps, Afzam left Zein.

""Your Majesty, are you willing?" Mahesa asked.

"Willingly or unwillingly, I still won't be able to force someone's feelings towards me," replied Zein with a lopsided smile.
