Marrying a King's Son

episode 39 Rey's Request

Fey walked closer towards Riska who was standing still in her shock. A lot of unexpected things happened in his house and he just found out now. Riska did not stop thinking, how could she have a brash child like Jakson. Though in his eyes, Jakson who he knew was a good boy and never neko-neko. But apparently, his assessment has been wrong all along. Jakson is much more dangerous than any striped-nose man.

"Riska," said Fey, touching his shoulder gently. Riska suddenly regained her senses from her daydream and stared at Fey's sad face.

"What should I do, Miss Refald? I ... failed to educate my own son." Riska starts crying because she can't teach her child well, causing this mess.

"What happened, happened. I ... can't interfere more than this. All these events are internal problems of your family. My advice is, marry them."

"No, Miss Refald!" reject Risk for a moment. "I will never accept that wicked woman as my son-in-law. Never will."

"But you can't abandon a baby in her womb. The baby's innocent, you can't punish him just for his parents' fault. After all, that baby is your grandson. Your family's blood runs in his blood. There is no choice but to marry them. Accept it or not, like it or not, you have to take Rara as your daughter-in-law.

"If not, it's the same as abandoning your own family's disgrace. The longer Rara's stomach gets bigger, and everyone will know it all. Although Rarelah is to blame, your family will definitely be affected as well. Consider it carefully." Once again, Fey patted Riska's shoulder gently and left Riska still stunned.

It is not only Riska who is in shock when she learns this shocking fact. Fey was also very surprised and never thought that his development would be like this. Not that he let go, but he could not interfere in matters that were not his business, especially Fey did not have any rights against Rara.

"My husband, baby. Hurry back, I need you, I miss you too. If you were in my office, what would you do?" fey Mumbles.

Now Fey is in the yard of Riska's house. Suddenly, the wind blew fiercely and flew all the leaves that fell on the ground. Fey tried to cover the wind with both hands and was shocked when a large, heart-shaped sheet of dry leaves clung tightly to Fey's hand. Fey instantly realized who sent the waru leaf to him.

In a hurry, Refald's wife read the message written on the leaf.

'Do what you can, Honey. And let everything go as it should. From a husband who loves and misses you, Refald.'

That was the short message that Refald wrote. Fey smiled reading the writing of her husband who was very much missed. His eyes glazed over as he had missed Refald too much.

"I love and miss you too, Refald!" Fey kept looking at the love letter from Refald.

The night was getting late, but Rhea still could not sleep. Rey who saw that, immediately walked slowly to approach Rhea and hugged her lover tightly from behind to calm her down.

There was nothing Rey could say at this moment. Everything that happens is out of his control. What happened to Rara is also a form of karma that he got. In this case, there is nothing wrong or right. All has already happened and all that can be done by all parties involved is to face it and then solve the best solution for all.

Everything Rey said was true, but it was undeniable, Rhea still felt guilty and also sad for what happened to her brother. Unfortunately, Rhea did not have the right to interfere with all of Rara's affairs.

Slowly but surely, Rey let go of his embrace and without Rhea guessed Rey kneeling before him while tightly grasping both hands of Rhea.

"Rey what are you doing? Wake up!" pinta Rhea's. He does not want Rey to behave like this to him, because Rey is his prince after all. And Rhea was his subordinate. Rey shouldn't have knelt in front of him. "Rey, please, wake up. I should've knelt down on you, not you."

"Listen to me first, honey. I'm doing this, because I have something to ask of you. Maybe my request is very heavy and is a big burden for you, but .. You are the only one who can return my father and his entire army. I beg of you, you .. should be able to complete your ritual. No matter what is happening around us, you should still be able to concentrate on your last ritual ceremony.4 more days Dear. I don't want the feeling you're feeling right now, to derail everything." Rey looked into Rhea's eyes.

Slowly, Rhea herself knelt down in front of Rey in tears. "I'm sorry, my Prince. I'm sorry that I've made you this worried. I admit I am very fragile and weak. But believe me, it is not only you who expect King Refald and his entire army to return. I want it, too, with my mother.

"I'm .. nor will I ever allow myself to fail, much more so are the people who sacrifice themselves for my sake. I'll try harder. So, from now on, don't worry anymore, okay!" Rhea tried to smile while wiping her tears. "And don't ever say that this is a burden. It is my duty as the daughter-in-law of the royal family of Mirza Banta to perform the rituals entrusted to me. Until death, I will do everything you have commanded me unconditionally. That's the way of life I have to live."

Rey immediately kissed the friendly lips of Rhea who was still crying. "Thank you, honey and I love you so much."

"I love you too my Prince. Now, let's accompany me to practice. I can't let my guard down and have to keep trying. You don't mind, do you?" ask Rhea.

"I object" Rey replied softly. "You haven't rested at all. Sleep briefly. I'll wake you up if I want to practice."

Rhea leaned directly on Rey's chest. "I want to sleep in your arms. I don't know why, I .. want to be hugged like this." Rhea pressed her cheek against Rey's chest and tried to hear her husband's rapid heartbeat.

"If you sleep here, you'll get cold, baby." Rey tightened her arms.

"You can warm me up. I just realized, it turns out my husband's body is very warm." Rhea also tightened her embrace.

"Yes, sleep in my arms if that makes you comfortable. I'm yours now." Rey kissed Rhea's forehead fondly.

No more telling, Rhea really fell asleep in Rey's arms in a quick time. Rey could feel Rhea's breathing starting to get regular. Maybe Rhea was too tired so she immediately slept anywhere even in Rey's arms. That girl, really fell asleep.
