Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 169

In a rather small alley outside the medical shop, Jieun kept the packages of medical items she bought a moment ago in her magical pouch. Luckily she has the pouch or they might have a hard time storing it all.

“You should control yourself. What are you going to do with all this anyway?” Lia asks her.

Jieun can just grin.

“She is just feeling sorry for them. That’s why.” Ayana, who understand Jieun feeling took Jieun side there.

All the six princes, including Eun-Woo can just smile. It’s not everyday for them to see this kind of scene.

“Did we see enough?” Ethan asked Ray there. He thinks that it’s already enough for today. During their walk, they did not hear any gossip about the mysterious thing that happened except what they heard from inside the store earlier.

“Yeah. I think we better go to the palace to hear more from the King. After all it seems like he did a very good job of keeping all the story hidden seeing that we didn’t really find anything.” Leo also interrupted.

“I feel the same way. We also need enough rest before we go to the sea to check on it.” Eun-Woo also speaks up now.

“Yeah! I’m also starting to get hungry now.” Haru was no longer able to resist his hunger at that time, even though he actually already ate tons of food at every food stall he found earlier.

Ray then looked at Syaoran. Syaoran nods to him there saying in silence that he is okay with whatever Ray’s decision is there.

“Then let’s go to the castle and meet the king.” Ray finally decides on that.

Now all of them move towards the castle located at the end of the city, on the highest hill on that land, also near the sea slope. This castle looks quite unique as its square -shaped and high. It may not look so pretty, but antique enough as it is made by high quality stone, sand and clay that can withstand the changing seawater climate.

At the bottom of the hill they opened their cloak and introduced themselves to the guard there, then boarded a vehicle that would take them to the top. Although high, with the vehicles that have a very high speed they get there so fast.

Once there, one of the palace guards approached them.

“Your highness, King Mizuto already waiting for you inside. Come with me.” He said.

All of them didn’t say anything and just follow the person. Inside, they could already see King Mizuto in a state of anxiety waiting for them on his throne.

They already know his character. Even if his name sounds scary and his castle looks majestic, he is the King who is too skinny, has a very soft heart, worry to much and clumsy most of the time. They even wonder how can this man rule the land well for so many years alone after his wife died? As his late wife is the one that always help him to be on track before. Guess, in every weakness there must be an advantage, right?

“Oh my my…” King Mizuto started clapping his hand, seeing all of them who now enter his throne. He kept going downstairs and held out his hand to shake hands with all of them now.

After he shook hands with everyone there he started spinning one time there, put one hand on his forehead before started talking.

“I’ve been too worried lately with all sorts of things that happen.  That is why I sent a letter to ask for help from King Liam. I didn’t think he would ask all of the six princes here alongside these three beautiful ladies.

“Princess Lia, the third princess of the Dream Land.” Lia, who actually knows waht behind the King means, started introducing herself there.

This king here has been looking for the suitor for his quadruplets for many years. All four are a prince with different face even though they are twins. But as the four of them are too spoiled no one wants to promise marriage with them. So it’s better to make a clear line so the King won’t cross it.

As if knowing what Lia was doing, Jieun also introduced herself there. “Princess Jieun, the second princess of the Dream Land.”

The King then looked hopefully at Ayana. Hoping that she is not anyone’s.

“I’m Ayana. Just a commoner.”

King Mizuto’s eyes there suddenly shone so brightly and he quickly approached Ayana at that moment.

“It’s fine. You can become a princess if you choose one of my princes as your husband. What do you think about that?”

Haru quickly looked sharply at the king, but of course the King did not notice.

“Uh? I…” Ayana didn’t know what to say then.

“I’m sorry King Mizuto. She also has been promised to someone.” Seeing Ayana, who didn’t know what to do, Lia came forward to help. Just saying what that crossed her mind at the time.

“Who?!” Haru’s angry voice started to be heard there as soon as Lia finished speaking, making all of the people there including a King Mizuto look at him now.

Lia mouth to him, ‘I’m going to kill you’ words and only at that time, Haru realize that she just saying those to help Ayana.

“Oh, I… mean… Yahoo!” Haru said that in smiling now even make a fireworks gesture with his hand. All just sweat-drop seeing him like this. But luckily King Mizuto didn’t catch anything and just let things go.

“Aww … Then, when is the time for me to get a beautiful daughter -in -law like you? How much longer do I have to wait for that?” King Mizuto started sulking there.

“Don’t worry your Highness. There must be someone more suitable out there for them.” Lia tries to be soft spoken there, persuading him.

In a split second, King Mizuto turned cheerful after hearing what Lia was saying.

“You think so, right? There’s must be someone that will be their fate. I just need them to be in more crowded places later. Today also they are not at the palace as they go to the Summer Region to party because they can’t stand the winter atmosphere even it’s not snowing here but the cold is too much to bear. Sorry if I offended you my dear. ” King Mizuto said that to Princess Lia which Lia just shrug.

“They won’t be here in a week. Too bad you can’t see them. But if you’re here longer you might see them and have fun.”

In her heart Lia said, ‘Let’s finish everything in one week shall we?’

“I actually come to the fourth prince, Prince Eun-Woo wedding, but as new problems start to arise I can’t come to a Prince Ray wedding. I am very sorry for that. To make up for that, how about I give you a very fancy honeymoon room so that both of you can feel like this like a vacation. You, young people still in the honeymoon phase anyway. ”

Ray cleared his throat there to get ready to talk. Forgetting about the ‘fancy honeymoon room one’, as the issues have already been brought up by the King, even though it took quite some time, Ray was quick to react.

“What actually happens in here? We came with only a little information. We barely know anything.”

King Mizuto’s face there kept turning cloudy, it was clear he felt sad at that moment.

“It started from two months ago. All the fishermen who went out to sea in the east will definitely disappear while that part there is more fish and seafood than other places. But suddenly one loss after another was recorded, making me had to make the place forbidden. But when my special squad went there and investigate about this matter, there is absolutely no clue and nothing happen to us. Only the fisherman who fished there was the victim. What is most bizarre is the whole ship or small boat they boarded will disappear together not just the people. The corpses not even human carcasses were found.  If they were eaten by sharks, at least there were clues here and there. ”

Everyone was silent then. The story is the same as what they heard at the store selling medical supplies earlier and in more detail. Seems like this King is not lying.

“I’m sorry to ask, but did you record the time, place and day of their disappearance? ” Jieun started asking there because she felt something was wrong.

King Mizuto gaped instantly there.

“I’m not sure. I never thought to check on that. Thank you for reminding me. I’ll give you the record right away after I meet with the guard on duty shortly.” King Mizuto even bowed his head to Jieun as a sign of gratitude.

“No need to rush. Take your time.” Jieun said there awkwardly.

“Well… If that so, how about we eat first and then I will ask someone to show all of you, your room.” Finally the best part of the day is coming.

After eating the food which is a very fresh and delicious seafood, all of them were escorted by the palace maid to their respective rooms.

Once Lia and Ray entered their room, Lia began to be shocked there. The room really being decorated for a newlywed with glitter, flowers, love decoration in every corner. Making both of them frozen.

“He’s not kidding.” Lia can just say that..  While Ray can just smile.
