Early Bride [TAMAT]

#5 Complicated

Before long we arrived, Arthur remained silent all the way. And I, back on the road with a mind that wasn't with me. Ahhe.. I have to do what, refuse can't. Just accept?? What would my friend2 say if they knew I was married this young. Married to prince Arthur. An idol for every woman. I will definitely be blasphemed 2 years..

" we're home." said Arthur when we got home.

" thank God you've come home. We just finished eating. If you want to eat, eat. There's still food on the table." said my mother.

" we've eaten, ma'am." said Arthur.

" ahh.. You hear Chris?? Prince Arthur called me mother.. So sweet!!" 😍 said mom while hitting 2 shoulders dad so happy.

Mum?? Her.. Benar2 can steal everyone's heart easily. They only know the good side. If they knew that this brat was cold-hearted and cruel, I doubt they would still be willing to adore him.

" ohh, yeah.. Naya, you'll come with the queen's mother and the king tomorrow to Crystal City for a week. Pack up soon tonight." said Dad.

" what?? Crystal City?? But tomorrow I have to go to school."

" yes, tomorrow you're going to school for a bit. Prince Arthur will take you to say goodbye. You have a lot of friends, don't you??"

" sullies??" kataku shocked.

I just realized, maybe mom and dad just knew I was getting married to Prince Arthur. And the king told my father and mother that Arthur would convince me. But does it have to be this fast?? Why are they asking about my friend2 over there?? Do they also know I was bullied 2 an on my first day?? Ahh!! This royal family sakin2 makes it hard to say no!! 😫

" ahh, yes.. 😅 I'll say goodbye tomorrow, dad. My Teman2 there will definitely miss me a lot.." 😄 said me again.

" ahh.. My little princess!! Why are you growing up so fast!! 😩 Did you hear that, Nina?? I'll soon be a grandfather.." 😱 said the father dramatically.

Haahh?? Grandpa?? I think this whole house has gone crazy!! How could a young girl like me have children?? The Land of Dawn law forbids it. But they still want to marry me. Even with their own son!! 😑

" ahh, dad!! Don't expect too much. I'm not gonna do that." I said.

Either my words are wrong or what. Arthur arrived2 just stared at me sharply. Uhh!! So spooky!! 😳 I was wrong to say what, huh?? 😰

" then we say goodbye first, Mr. Chris and Ms. Nina." said the Queen's mother.

" ahh.. Don't worry, come next time. We'll give you a much better welcome than this." replied the mother.

" it's more than enough for us, thanks for the warm welcome today. Oh, ja.. Naya, Arthur's gonna pick you up tomorrow. We'll be waiting for you at the palace. We're leaving together."

" well father, sorry to bother." I said as I bowed in respect. The king only smiled, stroking my head gently.

" my son chose the right man. Land of Dawn needs a queen like you in the future."☺.

What??!!! What did I just hear?? 😳 What does the king mean.. Arthur chose me to be his wife in the first place?? 😕 Isn't she only met me once?? When he fainted at the opening ceremony that day?? Arthur, what's wrong with you?? 🤔 I turned towards Arthur.

" ..😒.. "

Damnit damnit!! The boy did not dare to look at me. 😡 Means this is it!! Huft.. Patience.. Naya, patience.. Later you will be able to repay his actions this time. The queen mother and the king and the boy left our house. The house finally felt more peaceful. Provides a wider breathing space. 😪 Wait.. 😐 Looks like I forgot something..

" Yahhhh!! Why did you allow that boy to marry me!!" 😩 I'm mad as his2. Let it.. Let them know what I think about this.

" but didn't you agree??"😕

" that's just in front of them!! They cornered me, I couldn't resist."

" then?? Why do you still accept that proposal?? Mom, I'm young. I'm 12 years old, my dream is still long. There's a lot I haven't been through." 😭

" yes, I know son. But.. As for the reason the royal family wants you, we also need to consider." 😞

" i know that, because of Arthur's grandmother, right?? What if the other girl married him?? Why do I have to!!" 😫

" boy, Grandma Arthur was actually just a regular person like us. He married the previous king, his grandfather Arthur. He has experienced a lot, a lot that he witnessed throughout the history of the Land of Dawn. Her marriage to the king had 3 children, two sons and one daughter. One of them is our King, the King of Cecilion. Her younger sister, Kagura, lives with her queen mother in Crystal City. And his elder brother2 is also a king, he was given power in the southern area of the Land Of Dawn, the land of the Blood Demon." said the mother.

" what does this have to do with marriage?? All I know about Arthur is, that the Queen mother is not long. Then why was the last thing he asked for was Arthur's wedding??"

" yes.. The queen mother was very ill, and she was soon old. Arthur is the most suitable candidate for the successor to the Land of Dawn throne. And the condition is, he must get married first. The throne will be passed down to him by the king."

" so fast?? Isn't Arthur just 12 years old like me?? Why did he have to be king at such a young age??"

" you won't understand what Prince Arthur went through to become what he is today. His ability is almost equivalent to an adult man, even though he is still very young. And now the king is in danger.."

" danger??" 😨

" yes.. Early in his time because of the power struggle, the previous king gave the power of the Land Of Dawn entirely to the King of Cecilion. While the older brother was given the power of the area they had just colonized, the Blood Demon. And now the king's brother wants the Land Of Dawn to be his too."

" didn't he get the Blood Demon?? Why should we take the Land of Dawn from his own sister??"

" the word 'Sad' was long gone for him. Humiliated because of his father, the previous king. He demanded justice, until the death of his own father."

" what?? So the Blood Demon king killed the previous king??" 😲

" yes.. And the king of Cecilion is the next target."

" why then would Arthur be crowned king?? He is a little boy!! He should not be the target of his own uncle!!" 😫

" it was Arthur's own wish, he wanted to protect his father. He wants to and he's also capable, that's according to the queen mother. Remember son, this is not just a fairy tale. This is the reality, I don't want you to fall into this dangerous situation either. But this is also for the sake of our country, we also have to fight for it."

So then.. So then.. That's as complicated as the problem.. 😰 Just heard it, I feel so dizzy. 😵 What if after I live later. Am I also going to be the target of his Blood Demon king?? Ahhhk!! 😫😫 I wish I was dead today instead of having to go through tomorrow!!

But, Arthur.. 😨 He, at his current age must experience this.. Even his burden is much greater than mine. What he's been through in 2 years.. Until he can become as strong as he is now, even able to become the ruler of a country at a young age. How was his childhood.. Did he never really get his childhood until now?? 😨 He turned out to be more pathetic than me.. 😫 What I told him a while ago!!

" whataa?? Why am I not entitled to refuse?? I was a kid!! Why should I get married??"

" then why should I??!! There are a lot of girls out there who want you the most. Even Princess Silvanna. She deserves more to be your queen."

" what would the Land of Dawn be like if I were the queen, huhh?? I don't have the knowledge of nobility that you say. And I never wanted to be a member of the royal family, let alone a queen. To be ordinary people, ordinary people, ordinary families.. I'm comfortable with that. With or without my parents' blessing, I would still refuse to marry you."

" And again, I don't want my teenage years taken away just because of a wedding!!" pep again.

" sorry, but this is too sudden for me. I was a kid, my path was long. I still want to run to my dream. I still want to enjoy my teenage years."😞😞

" i know what you mean. But there's one thing I want to tell you. Dreams don't break just because you're married, and no one can take your teenage years away from you."

Will he not be offended by my words?? 😰 I'm so concerned with the 2nd time I want to feel right now. But I don't think about what Masa2 Arthur missed during his childhood until now. Fun playing with friends2, joking laugh with family, and enjoy freedom. That's why Arthur grew up to be a very cold and cruel boy. All he knows is power and affairs2 the kingdom. I felt sorry for him for a moment.. 😞 Does he also want this wedding?? Did he come back just to make the Queen mother calm by protecting her father?? Why should he protect the older and longer dabbling in the royal world from himself?? Does he feel that he is that strong?? Did he know he was currently walking towards his death?? He was in danger, and he dragged me inside.. I don't want to get involved in this, but because it's already gone.. I can do anything but accept it..😓😓
