Can Your Majesty Look Into My Direction
CHAPTER 3 Meeting Mother
“You were thinking about what” Rin kept silent thinking about the emperor's request and what would happen if he agreed.
After the great banquet, the emperor asked him to become Riu Lao's advisor. From the time he came out of the palace to his house, he kept silent with a complicated face.
The southern sky kingdom has its own policy in determining an advisor. It was not only the emperor who had an adviser to give a proposal in running the kingdom, the princes who had reached a certain age could have it.
An advisor is selected for his quality and ability. In his election could be through strict selection or handpicked by the emperor.
The duties of a prince's advisor were not much different from those of the emperor's advisors, only that they would be more often near his Great One. Share your thoughts on solving problems, learn to understand everything about the palace and its policy. What is clear is that the emperor's advisors or princes will be respected and respected for their status.
“Ayi” Still no answer from his daughter.
“RIN-” “Iya dad. I'll go into my room”
Rin immediately went into the room, sat himself beside the bed and sighed for the umpteenth time “Hah, what my decision this time is correct” he really wanted to reject the request, so he wanted to reject the request, but the father told him to accept.
If he refused, it would probably offend the emperor who had already generously given his trust to him. He could only ask to be given time to think and return home first.
“Ayi, you are in”
“There's what father” Rin still remains in his position.
“Bby dad enter”
“Log in”
“You are still thinking of a request from His Majesty the emperor?” Rin is still not flinching “If you mind, father will not force you to accept it” chose to give in rather than having to see his only daughter continue to be silent.
“I don't know dad. Can Rin go to the Blue River?”
The father sighed briefly “Alright, but not as before. And go home before Malam” After getting permission from his father, Rin immediately went to the destination.
Walking down the small street, only the trees on the side of the road accompanied him at this time. There was an emphasis at every step that signified her feelings, a complexity still visible on her beautiful face.
The afternoon breeze blew away some of his black hair, but he still remained in his position until by the side of the Blue river. Looking at the very clear flow of the river, expect someone to come up with a suggestion for his problem.
The Blue River was the last place she met her mother. The flow of clear colored water as the name suggests, the surface of the river looks shiny in the twilight. Suddenly a vortex appeared from the bottom of the river, slowly forming the figure of someone who missed “Mother” Rin looked expectantly.
The figure was perfectly formed wearing very beautiful blue colored clothes. Sweet smile aimed at his daughter who each stands sculpting “There is what little daughter mother came here” he said softly.
“I miss mom” Rin hugged her mother tightly, as if she had not met the beautiful figure of the river goddess for a long time.
It is no denying that the father loves him very much, but he also needs the tenderness and warm embrace of a mother who can calm him down when in trouble.
“Did not long ago we met here” the mother hugged her back. There is a warmth of a mother that she misses so much.
After a while Rin took off her hug “Ayi, it looks like you have a problem” the mother asked.
“I miss mom. And I know if I don't like being called Ayi” Rin puffing her cheeks that look cute.
The river goddess could only giggle amusedly then said “Well Rin Ayitian the daughter of a beautiful mother, it looks like you have a problem. Do you want to tell your mother this?”
“Do you have time to listen to my story” Rin always has a short time to be with her mother when meeting. Even before she could let go of the longing, the mother had already fused with the river.
The descendants of the goddess gods who chose to be the successors of their parents, have limitations to meet the closest people. Like the goddess of the river, she chose to continue her mother's duty to guard the holy river. Live far apart and only have a little time to be with her husband and daughter “This time mom can listen to your story”
“Really?” Rin smiled brightly.
“So what makes your heart fall my daughter”
“Umm..”
“We better sit there” not far from where they stand there is a place that can be used to sit.
“I want to ask you something” Rin started it.
“...”
“Did mom ever repeat the same thing? For example, the mother once came to a place and it turned out to be dangerous. But one day the mother came again to that place when she knew she would face the same situation”
“Isn't that stupid? If already know dangerous why come a second time”
If you already knew being the prince's advisor would end in death, why repeat it again? But there is something about the safety of everyone she just remembered “What if mom came to that dangerous place for someone she loves?” although Riu Lao would always ignore him, he could not let everyone in danger.
“...” Rin fell silent again, his mother's words were true. But if to protect a loved one meant he had to be willing to be Riu Lao's advisor, in the end it would all remain the same.
It was no denying that he was still putting his heart on the second prince, but his focus now was not to get the attention of Riu Lao.
“Ayi..” waving in front of his dreamy daughter “You're fine”
“Thank you for the advice mom. Now it's almost night I'm going home, later I come again to see mother” Rin smiled warmly.
“Alright, but you don't visit mom anytime soon this”
“Why?”
“Today I have spent more time than I should. So in a short time you should not go to this place because mom will not come”
Rin nodded, she understood that this time her mother had taken more time just to answer her question.
After embracing the sign of temporary separation, the mother again turned into a stream of water. Rin looked at her mother disappearing for a long time, leaving the place when the sun was no longer showing itself.
It was dark and fortunately the road between his house and the Blue river did not pass through the dense forest. If it was like that maybe he would not know which land he was treading because of the lack of lighting.
A quiet atmosphere accompanied his journey home, when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him he fell silent feeling that it was not a good thing. Rin did not pull out a dagger behind his clothes, but rather was ready to throw anyone with his martial skills.
The footsteps were getting closer and when there was a hand on his shoulder, no doubt he immediately pulled and threw to the ground “Ahk” strangled someone.
“Who are you, why suddenly attacked me” Rin still not clearly see the face of the person.
“Who else if not the person you've bullied a lot, and I don't attack you at all”
Rin researched carefully who is the person who is still moaning in pain “Riu San?” the minimal lighting made him unconscious of throwing his own friend on the ground.
“How long have we been friends, you don't even memorize my footsteps” Riu San stands still holding her nearly broken waist.
“It's your own fault. Why must settle the precipitate, it is clear this night less lighting on this road you still play main”
“Who plays the game. Your father was worried at home, so I came after you here”
“You came to my house? For what?”
“I only accompany my brother really have business with you, he is now at your home”
“Which brother?”
“Who else if not Lao's sister. Already come quickly”
“For what the prince came to see me. This has never happened before”
Rin lets Riu San pull his hand with no elite, he's like a thief to be in court.
Upon arriving at his home, Rin is presented with the presence of someone he has always wanted to avoid.
Riu Lao came to talk about the request to become the prince's adviser. Rin did not know what to answer when faced with such a question. On the other hand he did not want to repeat the same foolishness as being part of the palace. But if he refused, he would not be able to figure out the source of the problems that would occur in the future.
Rin sat in the yard of his house which was already illuminated with light from a small lantern. In front of him Riu Lao was sitting quietly waiting for an answer “Why the prince had to bother coming here just to make sure Rin” answers he asked.
“I don't feel bothered. Because your answer is very important” Riu Lao replied without frills.
“...” Rin frowned hearing the answer of the person in front of him.
They both sat in a yard that is quite spacious only accompanied by the light of a lantern. Rin is not accompanied by anyone because her father is in the house, while Riu San has already returned to the palace. There was only him and the second prince who were still the same silent as each other's thoughts.
Not knowing what Riu Lao was thinking and what he wanted. Never had he thought that the prince would come alone to ask his decision. Rin also heard that the answer from him was very important, but still thought of some possibilities for the statement.
Riu Lao was still faithfully waiting for an answer from him, it was strange because previously he would not have the chance to even express his opinion. It could be calculated Riu Lao was looking for him as well just for something very important. But now just to make sure the answer Riu Lao came alone to ask. Though Rin intends to go to the palace to express his decision to the emperor.
“If Rin's answer is very important. It approves it or refuses that the prince wants to hear” Rin ask questions to be his decision. Riu Lao's answer would be his decision so he wouldn't have to bother thinking about it.
Riu Lao was speechless, looking at him with a hard-to-digest look “I don't want to lose someone a second time and want to ask for your help to take care of him. So the answer is, I want you to receive an offer from emperor”
“It's been confirmed the prince wants me to be his advisor to replace Alin Qian”
If the situation would come back the same, he would not repeat the same stupidity. In terms of finding answers to his puzzles he is willing to be Riu Lao's advisor for the second time “Well prince, if that's what the prince wants, Rin can only agree to it”
