Morning Dew's

11

Terror in the kingdom gives its own horrors to its inhabitants. From Rena I got the news that the body found on the stage was the corpse of a student at the school, one of which was the corpse of a princess whose role I was waiting for at the opening festival. The killings were so cruel, they were tortured first to death slowly. Which crazy person could do such a thing ?

it is not yet known whether their deaths had anything to do with the royal rebellion, as those killed did not only come from a garduete.

however, apparently the murder of the six nobles was only the beginning. Afterwards, several nobles and princesses mysteriously disappeared. His fate is unknown until now. Several more were attacked on the spot and found dead. The school conditions are gripping. Many students were eventually brought back to their homes. The rest who survive get a tight escort.

Prince Sera is back in the country. The goal was clearly to meet me. But Prince Riana blocked my access by locking me up in her territory. Super-tight guarding is done, no one can enter without permission from the Prince. I wasn't allowed out of the room. Live like a bird in a cage. I only know the news from Rena.

I have absolutely no idea why Prince Sera risked coming back. There is tension between the two countries. The prince was not willing to give up on taking me away as his fiancee. If Garduete hands me over, they will also lose face. I'm not at all happy with the situation. My head feels like it could break at any time.

From Rena I also got good news, Duke Dalto has returned from a period of recovery after the sinking. She is now in school as usual.I am relieved because she is fine, given the condition of the school that is not safe lately.

The kidnapping and murder continues. All the power is deployed to secure the situation.

I sat in the window and daydreamed when Prince Riana came. Since that incident, I have deliberately avoided Him. Fortunately He rarely came home so we hardly ever met. But late tonight he came back and went into the room. I'm afraid this isn't a good thing.

The prince sat down and drank his wine near me. I'm tightening my collar. I feel like I want to escape from this room. Twice he tried to attack me, twice also I saved the royal call. But, I can't possibly continue to be that lucky.

We just kept quiet. "You've heard Sera come back here, right?, she reasoned to monitor the safety of her people until they returned safely to her country. But you must know the real reason he came back here, right ?"

The prince opened the chat I wanted to avoid. If I get the wrong word and ignite his emotions. The result can be fatal.

"I didn't ask for any of this. The prince also understood, right ?. I've survived in this world because of my father. I don't want my current status, nor do I want all the luxuries you promised me. I don't want any of that at all. I don't understand why you guys fuss over this all the time as if it's important to me"

I took a deep breath.

"It's your destiny. You can't choose him. Now you should know, when you live to be a member of the kingdom, You will get respect and danger that threatens every time.Remember this is good"

"Is your queen-to-be not angry ?" I said trying to divert the conversation. "You let me stay in your palace, even in your room. Didn't you think of her feelings when you heard this ?.Isn't it your job to make him love you so that the country will remain stable under your rule later"

"You care so much about my relationship with him. Why ? are you jealous ?"

"It's not like that. I just think what you're doing is not going to be fair to him"

"If conditions are under control later, I'll introduce him to you. When you officially become my wife, no one will be able to shake your position"

Wife ?!. What it means is that she intends to make me her second wife and not just her lover. A position that any woman would want. Women who have direct power under the Queen.

I took a long breath.

"I never expected to share my husband with anyone else. In my world there, I only know one husband for one wife" I said of origin.

"Then you want, you're the only woman who'll be with me later. When we get married, I'll make sure no woman is with me but you"

I stood up nervous. "Your imagination is pretty good Prince.Where did the Prince learn this ?"

"Dream or not, you can prove yourself"

"Stop joking, What if your queen-to-be hears, I don't want to be called a destroyer of people's relationships"

The prince stood up. I was surprised when he hugged me from behind. Without a kick, he kissed my neck. Gave a red mark over there.

"No..." I refused him when he tried to touch my body. "Prince.don't.."

"Sshhhhh" The prince hissed furiously.

"I'm in a hitch" I said nervously."You can't do it"

The prince was silent for a moment. Then unexpectedly she lifted my body to her chest. "Prince" call me in a panic. He carried me so easily.

The prince took me to bed. I'm inching backwards. "I beg you not Prince"

The prince pulled me and held me firmly in his arms. I dragged in fear.

But the Prince did nothing. "Don't rebel or I change my mind" he said in his ear, stopping my movement. "Smart girl. Now go to sleep" said the Prince quietly

Not long after the Prince fell asleep. But his hands were so strong they were holding me. I did not dare to break away, worried that He would wake up and carry out his threat.

"Who are you" I blinked as an angry shout came from the next room.

Where the hell am...?

I was in a room full of luxury goods. His careless arrangement made all this stuff seem to be a wreck. This room seems tacky and too forced.

"How dare you get into my room"

I walked towards the next room, trying to see who was talking. Her voice felt familiar, sure my guess. The Doldores nobles stood docked to the wall. His pyjamas were covered in fresh blood from his injured arm. He stared fiercely ahead. At his feet was a half-naked girl lying down. When he saw her situation, the girl was already lifeless.

Instantly my stomach was stirred. I want to puke. Nausea hit me repeatedly.

The noble Doldores held a sword in his hand, trying to look tough. A person wearing a black robe and head covering stood in front of him. He whispered something to the Doldores Nobles.

"So that's you ??" The Doldores nobleman recognized the man. His face was red with anger. The black-robed man held a glittering sword, quite sharp and dangerous. Without warning He brandished the sword and mercilessly mutilated the Doldores Nobles. A shrill cry of pain rang through the ear.

I woke up, just as the door of the room opened with a loud voice. Sweat flooded my body. Again I dream like that. Why have my dreams gotten so bad lately. Prince Riana moved beside me looking ahead with a look of displeased face.He glanced at the window, outside still dark. It's still night. The nobleman Voldermon stepped inside without feeling guilty.

"I'm glad to see that your relationship has come this far" the kick was loud.

"It's not what you think" I'm quick. I shuffled and got out of bed. My feet are still shaking from the dream I just had.

"What's wrong with you, it seems I've disturbed your pleasure ?" The Nobles of Voldermon. He seemed to think of the sweat on my face as something else.

"What happened ?" Ask the Prince directly. Condemn the joke of the Nobles of Voldermon.

"Norah was kidnapped along with two other daughters in different places"

"What did you say ?"

"Through midnight, the servants who served him accompanied him to take a bath, arguing that He could not sleep before freshening up. He entered the bathtub as two servants prepared his necessities in the next room. They left him not for five minutes and by the time they returned Norah was already out of place"

"Who else is it ?"

"Princess Zaneta and Princess Fahrani, both disappeared in separate places"

"I feel like this is just the beginning. There was something much bigger hidden behind him. For the perpetrators, the murder of the Princess and Nobles was not the real goal, they were only made a temporary distraction until the final goal was met"

"You mean they're just diversions. But the perpetrators were desperate to use the nobles as a transition"

"It is precisely with the killing of the nobles that we will focus more on protection and investigation against them, the perpetrators can more easily move to react.What we must look for, what the real perpetrators want from all this terror. What is his primary purpose"

The sound of gulf. The nobleman Voldermon felt his pocket and immediately raised.

"What's up ?" Ask the Nobles of Voldermon. The shadow of the Asry Nobles appeared.

"Vold, there's been an attack on the Doldores' house."

My heart is beating strong. The dream is still real. I approached the Noble Voldermon and took the gulf in his hand. "is there a half-naked woman there, she's hurt in the head and back. I don't know if He's alive or dead ?" I asked the Asry Nobles directly.

"Yes princess, we found a girl with him. As the princess told me.but..."

"The nobleman Doldores died with many wounds of convictions. His body was shredded with a sword. I'm right, aren't I ?" My breath hunts. My hands are shaking violently.

"Princess how princess knows it exactly"

I almost collapsed. The nobleman Voldermon refutes me. He put me on the bed. The prince took the gulf from my hands. "We'll talk later" he said, closing the Gulf.

I covered my face with both hands. My body vibrates. I've guessed, those dreams aren't just sleeping flowers. I was there, watching them get killed.

"Are you all right" asked Duke Voldermon, shaking my shoulders. "Do I need to call a doctor to check on you ?"

I'm dodging. My tears flowed out of me realizing this reality. "I saw them all get killed through my dreams. Dad, Sei, the Doldores Nobles, I was there watching how they were killed. But, though I cried out to stop, They did not hear me, I could not touch them. I can only watch their deaths in front of me"

"Since when have you experienced it" the Prince asked seriously.

"I've also seen Mama in accidents before, but I just thought of this as a dream. But here, those dreams happen a lot and I don't know why ?"

The prince hugged me hysterically. I sucked my face into his chest. Trying to forget the dream I've been having.

"I think Serfa should hear it" said the nobleman Voldermon seriously. No more jokes in his voice.

Reverend Serfa came shortly after. We sat in the prince's office. I told her all the dreams I had. Reverend Serfa quietly asked me once or twice. His face turned tense.

"We must meet the King to be sure"

"What do you mean ?"

That very night, the four of us went straight to the king's palace to meet the king.

The king was still sleepy when we arrived. He was already waiting for us in his private room with the Asry Nobles and the Xasfir Nobles. The waiter prepared a drink for us, after which they left. This room is completely closed. We're the only seven here.

The king listened to our explanation attentively. After we told him he nodded his head in understanding.

"So so it seems" muttered the King to himself.

"Your Majesty, are my suspicions correct ?" ask Serfa was-was.

"Before I asked for your oath of allegiance to me. I don't want what we're talking about out of this room"

The nobles agreed.

"Right of you, Yuki is Ciel"

I heard the breath. "It looks like Ciel's blood on Princess Ransah has finally decreased on Yuki. Only I knew this secret. Yuki I hope you didn't divulge your identity to anyone. Your life will be threatened even more if more people find out. Do you understand ?" ask King.

I nodded my head understanding it.

Ciel's.

Man is given a thousand gifts by the gods. A special man whose prayers are said to be granted by a god.

There is no ciel prayer that the gods do not accept. In this world the existence of Ciel was extremely rare. There are only 1:2,000,000 humans. Not all of Ciel's descendants get Ciel's blood, but damn it...I've earned.

A Ciel has special abilities that are not the same as each other. For me, I can see the death of those closest to me through dreams. But I feel, not that, Instead of seeing the death of the closest people I tend to bring the god of death wherever I am that makes people around me have misfortune. I'm sure that's my true advantage.

A Ciel is very hunted by black magicians. For if one were to suppose, the condition of obtaining extraordinary powers would have to be by killing a million holy virgins, so by drinking the blood of one ciel alone he has gained strength many times his dasyat rather than having to kill a million virgins.

The other thing about a ciel is, once someone falls in love with Ciel, he will love her for life.

Is Prince Sera also included in it?. Is this a gift ?or a curse ?. I try not to think about it.

The prince thinks someone knows my identity. That person must have been very close to me, otherwise, he would not have been able to know that Ciel's blood had decreased to me.

Now it is revealed, why Dad was so scared at that time and immediately decided to go back. He knows I'm a Ciel. He knows someone's after me, wants my blood. If I get caught not just Me, but many lives will be lost due to the use of the wrong power. Why did that man kill Dad and look for me to kill most of the servants in the house ? Of course I can answer now. I'm the Ciel he needs.

It may be true said the prince, the killing of the nobles is just a diversion. I'm the one being targeted.

I'm the one who wants to be killed.

Today the King held a banquet to gather the royal dignitaries and nobles while discussing the problems that occurred. I was dressed with so much jewelry. It doesn't feel very comfortable. Isn't this just a small banquet attended by representatives. But why do I have to dress up like a clown like this.

The prince led me into the banquet hall. We sat at a long table, there were already some people who had come first.

I was shocked when Prince Sera was one of them. I sat down on the chair beside Prince Riana. Prince Sera was calm as if nothing had happened. It feels like I'm the only one feeling tense.

The king arrived shortly afterwards. The banquet began. The food was served, I tried to follow the conversation, but it felt like everything was making me dizzy.

"Oh" I put my spoon.Without accidentally my tongue was bitten when I chewed meat.

"What's up ?" Prince Riana asked while holding my shoulder. Told me to face him.

"I bite my own tongue" My eyes tear up with pain. I took a white handkerchief at the dinner table. Put it on the tongue. There's a little bloodstain in there.

From the corner of the eye, Prince Sera stood up. Calmly, He walked towards me while holding out a handkerchief that had been moistened. "Paste this so that the wound dries quickly" he said gently.

I received her handkerchief which was apparently moistened by ice water, sticking it on my tongue.

"Thank you, it feels like it's gone" I said awkwardly. Prince Riana stood up, looking directly at Prince Sera, ready to invite him to fight. Prince Sera was acting indifferent. Prince Sera raised his chin as he fell triumphantly. The invited guests looked agitated, Worried that there would be a clash between the two.

"Everybody's back in his place" The King's orders were firm.

I pulled Prince Riana's hand to sit back down. Prince Sera turned around and walked back to his stool.

If His Majesty does not interfere I do not know what will happen.

"Sorry Your Honor, may I go to the balcony to take care of my wounds" I know the Prince will not let me walk far alone let alone have Prince Sera here. Therefore, I ask for permission to the balcony which can be monitored by him at any time.

"Yes go, Wait for Us there until it is finished" the King's order agreed.

I stood up respectfully and then immediately left.

I sat on the balcony, watching the view below me. The lights are flashing down there. From my place I could see the greater Hall, where I first set foot in this banquet. When the King held a welcoming ceremony for me. It feels like a long time ago. At that time Dad was alive, he proudly took me to and fro, introduced me, happiness felt in every laugh. I turned away, so that the tears would not fall. I turned my gaze to the balcony where Duke Dalto found me while carrying a bunch of big roses. We used to go there. Enjoy the music together. Did he want to kiss me then ? What do I do if it really happens ?. Questions kept coming to my head.

It feels strange to see our current situation. Separate as if not knowing each other. I can't approach it like I used to. Suppose I could, I would change all my positions now just to go back to being the Yuki I used to be.

Suddenly from the darkness of the balcony where I once danced with the Dalto Nobles. A figure of a person, wearing a black robe and covering his face with a hood appeared. I could not see his face clearly because of the considerable distance and the hood that covered it. But I know for sure, in my dreams I've seen him several times. He was the one who had killed Sei and the Doldores Nobles. I can't be wrong.

My heart beat pretty hard. It felt like my throat was choked, I couldn't scream even if I wanted to. I just kept looking at him.

The man raised his hand. He carried an arrow, aiming it at me.

Run Yuki....Lari......

I'm trying to move, but my mind and body can't work together. I can only lean against the wall. Awaiting death.

Sssyuuuuttt

The arrow is released, hitting right next to me.

Jjlepp !!!

Stuck through the wall. He turned back to his arrow.

Out of nowhere, my voice finally came out. I screamed so. The arrow shot out, stuck it over my head. If I hadn't looked down. I must be dead. That arrow would've pierced my skull.

There were feet approaching.

"Yuki what's wrong ?" Prince Riana appeared behind him a crowd of people came. I looked at the Prince in fear. Unable to speak. My body's shivering.

The prince immediately responded to my fear. He realized there was danger.

"Attacks.there's attacks...Protect Your Majesty, Protect the Prince and Princess Yuki" Shouted the Nobles of Xasfir loudly. The prince pulled me when the arrow shot back, scraping my shoulder. Take me into the room.

Large windows are tightly closed. Curtains lowered. The Prince held me firmly in his chest, while I was still shivering in fear.

"You guys come with me to the main hall now. Block the entrance and exit, check and catch all the suspicious in the palace" The xasfir nobleman passed away with his troops.

"Yuki are you okay ?" ask the King worriedly.

I nodded my head. But my teeth are still struggling with fear.

"He's not okay" the Prince growled angrily. "Call Serfa now" the Prince's orders again to the palace guards.

It wasn't long before Pastor Serfa came in and examined my wound. Out there the soldiers sounded busy looking for the figure who shot me. Their steps sounded alternating.

"The person I saw in the dream...He killed them all" I whispered to Reverend Serfa.

Pastor Serfa gave me a drink, after drinking it my feelings became calmer. He treated my wounds and bandaged them with bandages carefully.

"Only ordinary arrows, no poison whatsoever. I've treated his wound. The princess will be fine"

The nobleman of Xasfir came while carrying arrows and bows in his hands. "We're leaving the whole palace. He just left this in his place"

"Add the number of troops to search for the man. Find and drag Him before me alive or dead." Prince's orders are firm.

"Riana, I've prepared an army. We can return to the palace now" The Asry noble appeared behind the backs of the Xasfir Nobles. Everything looks tense.

"Sorry King, I have to take Yuki away from here" the Prince said as he saluted the King. The king understood.

"You take good care of yourself. Whoever He is, besides being crazy He is also reckless because he dared to attack Princess Yuki near us. We need to be very vigilant"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. We're withdrawing"

I bow my head in respect. Prince Riana unexpectedly directly carried me. "I can walk alone"

But the prince was not willing to let me go. He took me to the waiting horse-drawn carriage. Her tense face contained anger.

The Nobles of Xasfir and the Nobles of Voldermon walked in escort with a well-trained team. Reverend Serfa took part in the horse carriage. Be prepared for an unexpected attack.
