..."We have love, but the world has norms"...
...******...
A few days passed, and Alentys' life went on as usual like a king. Now his life is filled with busyness and he is again bound to the rules that apply between the dragon nation.
Evil rumors about her dating a woman also begin to fade with time.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us for believing such a false rumor about you. In the future, we will swear an oath of loyalty for life to you." said the dragons in front of Arentys.
Life is going normally as it always is. However, the days of Alentys became unsettled because it remembered the times when he expressed love, even his life that had always been filled with love since Ryn's arrival.
"Your Majesty, you've been out of focus lately, has something happened? or.. Is your health bad?" ask a dragon who is the guardian of Alentys' trust.
"Yes, it seems that due to my relentless busyness, my body became exhausted from it" said Arentys, smiling faintly.
"Alright, then I will tell the other guards to pay more attention to your health." said the bodyguard who was only replied with a nod of the head by Alentys.
For a few weeks, even almost 1 month Alentys no longer see Ryn. She felt more guilty for breaking up her relationship with him.
Until, a news was heard by his own ears.
Reportedly, the woman attempted to infiltrate the dragon palace. But in the end, he was killed because the dragons knew his identity as a human.
The deg! Alentys heart is not calm, he hopes only his feelings are not good. He also hopes that Ryn will be fine as long as he doesn't see her again from that day on.
However, fact..
"Your Majesty, we managed to kill the humans who infiltrated the dragon palace. We have also brought his body to the palace as a gift to you" said a winged dragon guard bowing respectfully. He carried the body of a woman who was still clearly displayed physically and face, but with wounds all over her body.
"R-ryn..?"
Alentys heart seemed to stop right then, seeing such a familiar face in his sight.
Netsiryn.. her royal lady, has died in her own domain?
Alentys walked slowly closer to the woman's corpse, the more she walked forward, the heavier her steps became.
Ryn.. This is a lie, right? must've been. The woman's body wasn't you, right? Alentys closed her eyes and hoped that the human being shown to her was not Ryn.
The deg!
Ka.. that necklace?
How could.. Ryn..?
Alentys biting her lower lip, she ran and hugged the woman's body. To his surprise, tears could not even come out of the man's eyes. "RYN, TELL ME YOU'RE ALIVE! AWAKE, RYN!" a loud scream filled the palace. The dragon witness who saw it was also confused by Arentys.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? he is a human! A human! He is a lowly!" the repression from a bodyguard managed to awaken the anger that Alentys had been harboring for a month. The man got up from his seat and threw a punch at those who were there. "HOW DARE YOU KILL HIM! DON'T YOU LOVE LIVES?" the cry of Alentys re-emerged the constraints, moreover, many of the dragons were looking at it.
"So it's true the rumor that the dragon king loves a human?" they began to clash their mouths and many of them sneered at Alentys. However, the man's anger could no longer be hidden. He clenched his hands and turned into his true form. So that the ceiling of the palace that was built was strong, collapsing in the blink of an eye.
"GO YE! YOU'RE TRASH!" the cries of Alentys filled the palace. He flapped his wings and flew with Ryn in the clutches of his feet.
"Your Majesty!"
A WUSH.. A WUSH...
Hot flames began to fill the palace. Not only the palace, but the region where the dragons also burned due to the fire that was spouted through the mouth of Alentys. The dragons started flying and looking for shelter. However, it is too late. Their struggle was in vain, now the power of Arentys has risen. His anger at his own people he could not hide anymore.
"DIEYOU! DIE!" Alentys shouted out loud enough, powerless to hold back the anger that was sticking out in his heart.
Not enough to kill his own people, Arentys destroyed the region where he stopped. "IF YOU HAVE TO DIE, WHY NOT JUST ME? WHY SHOULD YOU, RYN?"
Alentys shouted loudly, but no one heard him. Silent, silent, what a creepy atmosphere if viewed by the eye. A lot of blood was splattered, and the anger of Arentys that could not be prevented so that it cost many lives.
All the dragons were destroyed by him. And now, there's not a single dragon left. There was only Alentys, and Ryn who was already severely injured with his life already gone.
"If you die, what does it mean to live?" Alentys smiled bitterly. What is he living for? He destroyed everything, even his people.
And now, it was time for Alentys to disappear from this world. After hundreds of years of leading the dragons, it was time to come to his death. More precisely, the man recklessly took his own life, taking the essence of life. He split his chest and took out a jewel hidden from his heart.
Ryn, I love you forever..
For Alentys, Ryn is the source of her life. He does not need to live if the source of his life is gone. Alentys is just a dragon, he can't control a person's life, not even save a lost one.
His body and Ryn's body are buried with the dead dragons. And the jewel was embedded in the ground with the other bodies.
The jewel is called the 'Rubby Jewel'. The color was the same as the color of the heart of Arentys, and the blood of the dragons that at that time flooded the territory in the eastern region, the region that built the dragon palace for thousands of years. Rubby is the name given by Netsiryn, a woman who dreams of living happily with her lover, Alentys. He dreamed of a very beautiful child and named Rubby.
But until now, his existence has never been found, until many conversations say that the story about King Alentys and his former lover, Ryn, is only a legend.
