DRUCLESS [AS PUBLISHED]

Drucless Seals

Elleanor picked some flowers in the garden. The woman put the flowers in the basket in her hand. Without him noticing, someone was staring at him from a distance. That man is Raefal with Geross.

Elleanor turned her head, as her body froze looking at the son she had longed for so long. The clear circle escaped dripping down his cheeks. Quickly, Raefal moved. The man was in front of Elleanor. His hand rubbed the mother's cheek.

Elleanor smiled happily as she touched her son's big hand. Raefal hugged Elleanor. The woman also returned the embrace of Prince Raefal. The misbehaved Geross bowed to Elleanor. The woman nodded.

Geross milling in after the movement of the wind-blown grass.

Elleanor took Raefal into the simple house. They speak to release a mother's longing for a child.

Raefal did not see his father's whereabouts, so he asked, "Where's the father, ma'am?"

"When you stay in this place, your father often comes to the temple. He's changed for the better."

Raefal nodded in understanding.

"You sick?" Elleanor asked as she cupped her son's face. Raefal smiled as he shook his head slowly, "I'm a gapapa, Mom."

"Your face looks pale. Daeriel evicted you from the palace?" Ask Elleanor. Raefal shook his head, "I left the palace, out of my own will. He's not upset, but I'm not comfortable living with him either."

Elleanor looked sad, "Mom already knows everything, Raefal. The soldiers who came told us what they knew."

Raefal looked at his mother. The woman smiled, "Raefal, I will support you. The decision is in your hands."

Raefal clasped his mother's hand, "Mother."

After the day began night, Raefal chose to return to Geross's place. He said goodbye to his mother.

"At least wait for your father to come back" said Elleanor. Raefal replied, "Send my regards to father."

After getting a nod from his mother, Raefal disappeared. Elleanor's long hair that was beginning to whiten was moving.

Upon arriving at Geross's place, Raefal walked slowly and only a few steps, his body staggered and fell. Some of the male healers who were outside the hut were surprised to see Raefal who came and fell. They approached him and brought the weak body into the hut.

One of them called Geross from the temple. The old man immediately returned to the hut and saw the state of Raefal.

"Holy water!" Shouted Geross. They immediately brought a large container filled with holy water.

"The man inside. Female healers make potions" Geross ordered. All carry out according to instructions.

Geross undid all of Raefal's clothes. The male healers washed Raefal's body with holy water.

"It's no use, it looks like Prince Raefal's body is no longer able to receive holy water."

Geross started to worry. However, the old man was reminded of something, "Natrissya!"

In a hurry, the old man came out of the hut and approached the female healers who were concocting medicinal herbs.

"You, here." Geross moved his hand. One of them approached him.

"Take Natrissya here, tell her this is serious and just say, Raefal needs her the most."

The woman nodded. His friend who was picking leaves turned to him, "When I came to the girl, she refused me outright."

Geross let out a rough breath, "This time should be able to."

In the human world.

After no more rape and murder, Trissya returned to her home. He was doing his usual activities in the house.

This morning, Trissya cooked orek tempe for breakfast. After the orek tempeh matured, he remembered with canned tinsel sauce in the kitchen cabinet. The girl opened the kitchen cupboard. He did not find what he was looking for.

The girl took a deep breath and closed the door of the kitchen cabinet. He gasped for the existence of the young woman behind the closet door.

"aaa! Who are you!" Shouted Trissya who was shocked. The woman smiled warmly.

Trissya snorted dejectedly, "You must have been a famous female healer, right? Anyway I don't want to see Raefal again."

"Sorry I disturbed you. I'm here at the request of Prince Raefal. Seriously, he really needs you. I must take you to Prince Raefal."

Trissya's expression changed when she heard the name. There was a longing that tickled his heart.

"I'm..."

Trissya had not yet finished her sentence, Lisna came with a panicked expression.

"Trissya, neng Rahma died this morning."

Trissya and the female healer turned their heads. Lisna who saw the physician's existence was confused.

"Who is this, neng geulis?" Lisna asked as she rubbed the woman's arm. The one who got the reaction turned to Trissya. That girl's a drunk, "Ah? That, Bi.. temen Trissya from Jakarta."

"Oh, when's dateng?" Ask Lisna. The woman smiled, "Newly, Auntie."

"Ah, don't call aunty, oruh. Great aunt colossus, call Aunt Trissya."

The woman nodded politely.

Lisna put her flip flops back on, "Yes, Auntie wants to go to Rahma's house, yeah."

"Auntie, Trissya's coming, yeah."

"Don't mind, when you want to leave your friends."

The woman immediately chimed in, "Gapapa, Bi. I'm coming too, deh."

Trissya looked at the woman. The three of them went to Rahma's house. It looks like Rahma's parents are so sad because their only daughter died.

"Whose name are you?" Trissya Whispe. The woman turned her head for a moment, "Dharaa."

Trissya pulls Dharaa's hand into the bath, "We bathe his body, yes."

Dharaa. There were 4 people in the room. When the white cloth was opened, Dharaa was surprised to see the ownership seal clearly imprinted on Rahma's neck.

Unknowingly, the woman muttered softly, "drucless seal."

The three eyes turned to him. Dharaa smiled stiffly. Trissya frowned.

After the bodies were laid, Trissya and Dharaa returned home.

"You said the drucless seal, after seeing Rahma's body, you mean?" Ask Trissya.

"There was a drucless who raped the girl. Previously, the drucless had given his ownership mark with a seal on the neck."

Trissya digested Dharaa's words, "Seals?"

Dharaa nodded quickly, "In the drucless world, the ownership seal is given by the drucless man to his woman or his wife as a sign of a legitimate marriage. The trick is to bite the neck of the woman with hidden fangs. There will be a seal emerging from that bite mark. The function of the seal is to keep the woman from coming into contact with other drucless (not cheating). If the drucless woman who already had the seal then just slightly touched the hand with another man, then there would be resistance like magnets that refused to touch each other."

"So, that happens to humans too?" Ask Trissya.

Dharaa seemed to be thinking, "I think, yes. There is a law if drucless have sex with humans, then not intermittently after intercourse, the human body will return to its original state, aka no traces have done that relationship. But, if drucless gives the human a proprietary seal and then does the relationship, then the human will not return to its original state because of the seal."

Trissya swallowed the saliva in anxiety. Dharaa looked at Trissya seriously, "When I held onto Rahma's body, I could tell who the drucless had touched her."

Trissya looked at Dharaa no less seriously. He was waiting for an answer from the woman.

"Daeriel Amzar Zeroun."

Instantly Trissya's hair was goosebumps hearing the name. Dharaa touched Trissya's cheek.

"There's a hand here."

Trissya.

"I can see there are many traces of him in your house. Don't you realize his existence?" Ask Dharaa. Trissya shook her head quickly.

"Maybe he's just watching you again. But, what's the purpose?"

"I don't know. So, you can see the drucless trail too?"

"All drucless can."

"Where is Daeriel's clearest and most numerous footprint?"

"Your room."

♥♥♥

Until the day in the drucless world before morning, Geross has not seen the female healer of his man back. The old man stood in front of the hut with a worried expression.

When Geross turned around, he heard Dharaa's voice.

"Shepherd's grandfather!"

Geross. It turns out Dharaa is back with Trissya. The woman waved her hand. Geross breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the ba-bi-bu, Geross told Trissya to go inside the hut. Some male healers came out from inside there to give time to Trissya and Raefal.

Trissya saw the man's body lying weakly on a simple bed. The bottom of her burly naked body was covered in a white cloth. Trissya touched his chest, his heart was racing at the sight of the man. The man she misses so much, even though Trissya doesn't want to admit it.

"Save him, son," said Geross. Trissya turned to the old man, "Why? I'm just a human being."

"Give him life energy from you. He is dependent on you. You must understand what Grandpa meant, right?"

Trissya swallows saliva.

Geross nodded respectfully then passed leaving the two of them. Trissya let out a heavy sigh. He really doesn't know what to do.

Trissya moved her legs closer to Raefal. His hand moved touching the handsome face of the man. Trissya felt how cold Raefal's body was. The girl touched Raefal's chest. He could still feel Raefal's weakened heartbeat.

Trissya brought her face closer and gently kissed Raefal's lips. Her tears fell on Raefal's face.

The girl was very worried about Raefal. Trissya felt no change from Raefal's body temperature. He removed his lips. The girl rubbed Raefal's neck while crying stifled.

"Raefal, please don't believe me. I want you to wake up and make some more silliness." Trissya shook Raefal's body. There was no reaction.

The girl pulled Raefal's body to get up and sit down. Trissya pulled Raefal's body into his embrace.

The girl said something, "Hem..." The usual humming he heard from Raefal's lips.

Suddenly Raefal opened his eyes. The man was surprised to be in Trissya's arms. The energy from the girl's body moved to Raefal, so she was drowned and unconscious. Raefal immediately hugged the girl.

"Natrissya" whispered Raefal in Trissya's ear.

Raefal held onto both of Trissya's arms and looked at that calm face. The man seemed happy to see this girl who for several years (in the world of drucless) he missed. Raefal smiled softly.

"Thank you for coming. I'm happy to see you here. You still love me." Raefal hugged the body back.

Raefal saw a large container filled with holy water. The man immediately laid Trissya's body onto the bed. He got off the bed, but the white cloth blocking his lower body came down.

"Aah?" The man realized that he was naked. Raefal immediately took the white cloth and wrapped it around his waist like a towel.

Raefal took the water from inside the container and rubbed it against Trissya's face, hands, and feet. He hopes Trissya will come to her senses.

"Trissya?"

The girl woke up and saw Raefal in front of her. The man looked at her with an anxious expression. Trissya smiled, Raefal too. They hug each other.

Trissya cried in Raefal's arms, making the man wonder.

"Why are you crying?" Raefal asked as he let go of his embrace and looked at the girl. Trissya wiped her tears, "I thought you were going to die, just now."

Raef smiled wryly as he rubbed the stomach of his box. Trissya turned her eyes the other way.

Raefal frowned. Trissya felt very limp and sleepy. He broke down his body and fell asleep so fast. Raefal just smiled as he shook his head slowly.

♥♥♥

When she wakes up, Trissya finds herself inside the house. Since when? He remembered the last time being at the border between the human world and the drucless world. How can he be in his room now?

The girl got out of bed and looked around. There was Raefal sleeping on the sofa of his room. The girl smiled looking at Raefal in such a state of sleep. So good-looking.

Trissya passed out of the room while rubbing her eyes.

"Where are you going?"

Trissya stopped hearing Raefal's voice. The girl turned to the man who had now opened her eyes.

"You're pretending to be asleep?" Ask Trissya. Raefal got up to sit down, "I heard the sound of your feet."

Trissya shook her head with a smile. He continued his steps into the kitchen. Raefal got up from the sofa and followed Trissya.

The girl poured water into the glass and then gulped it down.

"Trissy...."

The girl looked. Raefal looked at her softly, "Did you remember, I told you, that I love you? And you also once said love is with me."

Both of Trissya's cheeks were blushed due to Raefal's question. The girl turned her eyes the other way.

"D-yes."

"How do you feel about me? Is it still the same?" Ask Raefal spirit. The girl smiled, "I am..."

The shadow of Qwella swelled in his memory. The woman would definitely come to him and hypnotize him again. Raefal approached while tilting his head, waiting for an answer from Trissya.

"I want to be horrified" said Raefal. Both of his hands clasped Trissya's hands tightly. The girl looked at Raefal.

"I don't know what to say. I was afraid," Trissya muttered softly then turned her eyes away from looking directly at Raefal. The man touched Trissya's arm to look back at her.

"Say aja. You don't have to be afraid. I'm right here." Raefal tried to calm Trissya down.

Both of the girls eyes were shaking. Then he said, "Actually, I like you too. But, we're different worlds, Raefal."

Raefal was so happy with Trissya's answer. He hugged the girl tightly. Trissya returned the man's embrace. He rubbed Raefal's burly back.

"I don't care if we're different. I am happy because I love the woman who loves me too" whispered Raefal.

"You could be better too, huh?" Trissya asked in a plain tone. Raefal let go of his embrace and looked at the girl and laughed, "You said, if you like me like this, right?"

Trissya chuckled small.

Silent.

"Aren't you going back to my house?" Ask Raefal. Trissya shook her head, "I'm comfortable in my parents' house. I feel really good at home."

"So, you don't want to stay with me anymore?" Raefal asked with a sad expression, like a child.

Trissya chuckled as she patted Raefal's cheek in anxiety, "I have Lisna's aunt living alone in her house. I can't bear to leave my aunt again."

"I can stay here?" Ask Raefal. Trissya thought for a moment, "May, just don't be weird."

Raefal smiled broadly, "No, really. I have enough energy for you."

Trissya rolled her eyes, "You're weird, look out for it."

A few days later,

Trissya and Raefal were in the living room. The girl sat on Raefal's thigh. While the man put his chin to Trissya's shoulder. They were enjoying the afternoon view.

"Have you ever thought of marrying me?" Ask Raefal. Trissya looks sad. He pulled both of Raefal's hands and wrapped them around his stomach.

"I don't know."

"When we get married, do you want to come with me, or do I go with you?" Ask Raefal.

"You coming with me?" Ask Trissya. Raefal kissed Trissya by the neck, "That means I have to live in the human world and act like a human being."

"How come I'm with you?"

"You should stay with me in the drucless world and follow the rules as the wife of a drucless."

Trissya let out a heavy sigh, "I'm going with you, I'm afraid of Daeriel and Qwella."

Raefal did not respond. He still listened to Trissya's words.

"I'm afraid they did something bad to me. They certainly wouldn't be happy to see me as you" Trissya continued.

Raefal tightened his embrace to Trissya's stomach, "I promised to protect you. So you don't have to worry."

"They can control people's minds. I'm scared."

"As long as you're with me, everything will be fine."

Silent.

The sun sinks in the hills. The light began to disappear and change with the darkness.

"When we get married, how many children do you want?" Ask Raefal.

Trissya was thinking about it, "I want two cute girls. I can groom them every day." The girl imagined the cute face of a fat female toddler in her arms.

Raefal frowned, "You don't want a boy?"

Trissya nodded in excitement, "You too, but later she'll be the girl's sister."

"I want two boys and one girl. So, his brothers will take care of his sisters."

Trissya chuckled, "Turn, yes, same me."

"Father, women or men are just like our children."

Trissya smiled with blushing cheeks imagining they were married and had three cute children.

"So, when do we get married?" Ask Raefal. Trissya pulled her lips as she thought, "Married it's not easy."

"What trouble?" Ask Raefal. Trissya interrupted, "We need a lot of preparation."

"I'm ready for everything" said Raefal quickly. Trissya turned to Raefal, "Ah, kamuu. What are you ready for?"

"Ready make children. Now I can too."

"Raefal!!!"

Zeroun Palace.

Qwella's stomach is really big. The woman looked at her reflection in the mirror. Although her body looks more contained, but Qwella still looks beautiful. Even her pregnancy made her look even more beautiful.

Qwella touched her stomach, "A few more years. In a few years, you will be born. I'll get Raefal soon. You'll be with Daeriel, don't expect you to call me mother. You stay in my stomach only hitchhiking for two years."

Qwella breathed a heavy sigh. He walked slowly towards the main hall in the palace. The woman did not see Daeriel's whereabouts. I don't know where that guy went. He asked one of the servants.

"Hey, you."

The servant bowed as he approached Qwella, "I, Queen."

"Where is King Daeriel?" Ask Qwella. The servant replied without daring to look at the queen, "He went out with the healer."

"Tabib? Who?"

"I don't know" replied the waiter. Qwella nodded, "There, work again."

The woman snorted in annoyance.

Meanwhile, the,

after Daeriel spoke to the physician, he went to the flower garden, where Baltazar and Elleanor were. In front of the modest house, Daeriel stood looking at his mother pouring water in the kitchen. The man stepped up the stairs.

Hearing the sound of feet on the wooden floor of the house, Elleanor turned her head. He saw the tall man standing there with an illegible expression.

The woman missed her son very much. He stepped closer to Daeriel with tears in his eyes. Gently, Elleanor touched Daeriel's face. The man closed his eyes.

"My son," muttered Elleanor. His voice trembled in the sense of tightness that whack his chest. The woman gave Daeriel a mother's embrace. The man opened his eyes without any intention of returning the mother's embrace.

"Why did you just come now? Is your anger so great for Mom?" Elleanor asked in a sobbing voice.

"I'm not angry" Daeriel answered flatly. The woman let go of her embrace and looked up at the sturdy face of her son.

"From your tone, I know, you're mad at me."

"I came here because I heard from the soldiers that I wanted to see your son. I'm here now. What do you want?" Daeriel's sarcastic remarks hurt Elleanor's heart.

Elleanor turned her back to her son as she rubbed her wet face as endless tears flowed.

"What's wrong if a mother wants to meet her own child?"

"No, but it's wrong, if a mother differentiates her affection for her own two biological children" Daeriel said quickly.

Elleanor turned to look at her son, "Why do you say that? Do you think that I love Raefal more?"

"Yes, since Raefal was present inside the palace, all eyes were on him. Including mom and dad. I really suffered while trying to maintain my position." Daeriel touched his chest, indicating the pain was still there.

Elleanor shook her head. She wanted to say, but her tongue was a little bit stingy because her crying was more burdensome.

"What was previously mine, belongs to Raefal. That's not fair, Mom."

"Daeriel..."

The man interjected, "With Raefal's whereabouts, I'm no longer the sole prince. He always made my position problematic. He took everything. Seizing Mother, seizing father, taking everyone's praise from me, she took the king's look of admiration from me. He was born as my happiness-grabber!"

"Daeriel! What do you mean snatch! Took your sister's lover twice, isn't that a snatch!" Shouted Elleanor blaring.

Daeriel instantly silenced himself.

"You've controlled my mind your father to get Qwella! And you also want to snatch that girl from the human world?! You know, that girl is Raefal's girlfriend! Aren't you a usurper?!"

Daeriel screeched, "Yes, I'll do it, ma'am. This is a reply to Raefal."

After saying that, Daeriel passed away.

"Daeriel! Stop bothering your sister!"

The man disappeared with a slow wind.
