"How are you Duke?" Marquis Steven asked in pleasantries to break the silence between them during the journey.
Duke Marchel did not reply, he glanced at Marquis Steven and asked the same question.
"How are you after five years at the abandonment of my brother, the Marquis?"
Marquis Steven was silent. He had unknowingly stopped his steps, then looked towards the ground with a difficult feeling to define.
"Weight right? Even you cannot define it. That's how I feel, Marquis. No one will be okay, when he is lived by the person he loves the most. Too heavy, that even my sturdy shoulder could not hold it." Duke Marchel said expressionlessly.
"Stop pretending to look strong, to strengthen others Marquis. Your heart also needs expression to express. You, too, need a pause to rest the Marquis. You are just like us, a body given life that can feel pain, sadness, anger, loss and disappointment. You, not a demon living in the control of revenge and ambition. Cry if it is sad and angry if it hurts your heart. Do it, if it all calms your heart." Further again.
"Hahaha what do you mean Duke? Why do you suddenly say at such length like this?" Marquis Steven laughed awkwardly while scratching his non-itchy nape.
Honestly, deep down inside. Actually, he was really tired. Feeling tired to look strong in front of others. After all, he was just an ordinary human being. Can feel pain and sadness when Castela, the woman he loves leaves him for good.
But he had no other choice, looked weak or looked strong, everything was the same. What has happened cannot be changed in the end. They will walk according to destiny. Following the path that has been outlined by nature.
Looking strong indeed can not reduce the slightest bit of sadness that we experience. But at least, he was able to reduce the sadness and disappointment that befell others. At least, it was useful and could momentarily make him forget that bit of sadness.
"Let's forget it, you know... I can't wait to see my niece." Duke Marchel patted Marquis Steven on the shoulder, then walked ahead of him.
"Basic, what satanic tuh people suddenly so melow like that." Marquis Steven muttered shuddering at the country, then following Duke Marchel who had gone away.

THE PLAQUE!!
"Morgans... You, you just slapped me?" Camelia asked looking at Morgan in disbelief.
"What did I just do that you couldn't describe yourself?" King Morgan asked with a flushed face and the two clenched palms held in anger.
"You're totally outrageous Morgan! Don't you have a little heart? I'm your wife! Can't you treat me like a wife?" Camelia asked with both reddened eyes holding back tears.
"You really made me feel nauseous Camelia. Who gave you permission to enter my room?!"
"You really are the shameless woman Camelia! How can you say that with your rotten mouth? What exactly are you planning? Go inside my room, put on Castela's dress, put on her favorite things, and embrace me all of a sudden. What cunning thing are you planning to do with camelia?" Morgan asked looking at Camelia with a condescending look.
Morgan really didn't think it through. After a meeting with his sister-in-law that ended in awkwardness. Morgan immediately rushed back to the room to calm himself down.
But what he got inside his room really made the emotions he endured overflow.
He had given Camelia a ban not to enter her room. It was the only place he could save his memories with his wife. But foolishly the woman went into his room, and then dressed up like Castela and put on Castela's clothes and accessories.
What exactly is in the woman's brain? Is he frustrated and crazy because Morgan did not give the slightest chance to open his heart to him?
"You, you still ask me what I want? After what I did, you still ask? I want you Morgan! I WANT YOU!"
"BUT YOU'VE GOT ME CAMELIA. YOU, YOU GOT ME THE WAY YOU WANTED!"
"Well, you're right Morgan. I did get you. But it's not all as I imagined, it's all far from what I thought! You exist, but you don't. You're close, but I can't hold it! You, only mine in status, but not with your body and heart. Can't you just see me once, Morgan? Looking at me from the sight of a woman who expects love from the man she loves. Can't you see me from that view?"
Morgan laughed, really laughed. He felt funny when he heard all those words coming out of Camelia's lips.
"You, really funny Camelia. How can I see you as a human being? More to see you as a woman who expects love? In my eyes all this time, you were a monster. You, the monster woman who is willing to do everything, no matter if it's right or wrong, you will still do it to get what you want.
Even you feel no pity at eliminating the person I love, even though he is your own younger brother, you can have me. What can be called Camellia's love? You, you've been obsessed with Camelia! You're obsessed with me, this isn't love! Stop expecting something that is obviously impossible for you to get. Wasn't it clear from the beginning? Even if the woman in this world leaves you alone, I would rather die than end up with you!" Morgan said coldly.
"How could you blame me for all this Morgan?! I wouldn't be like this if you didn't break your promise to me! you, you're the one to blame for all the wrongs that are happening right now, Morgan! you are! you're the one to blame!" camelia snapped with tears that had been dripping from earlier.
"It's up to you to tell me what Camelia is. But the truth is, you're the most guilty here. If you had died then, and not come back, then you wouldn't have felt all this. You, there's no need to act like you're the one who's hurt the most here, Camelia. Because the truth is, you're the one who made yourself hurt. To hurt the people around you" said Morgan seriously.
"I don't want to see you still here when I get back. Let go of all the Castela you took. I don't want you touching the stuff I've been guarding all this time. You want to know one of Camelia's secrets?" ask Morgan before stepping his foot out of the room.
Without waiting for an answer from camelia, Morgan still answered the question he asked himself.
"You know, why did God give all these blessings to Castela and not to you? The answer is very simple Camellia. Because you're a greedy woman. You are never satisfied with what God has given you. You, won't be satisfied, even after you get me. You're still acting like a dead Castela. Is that how scared you are of Castela? even you are still filled with envy towards him even though he has been away from this world for five years. A woman like you would never deserve my love" she said, leaving the room.
Leaving Camelia who had broken to the floor with all her thoughts.
