Morning Dew's

99

They looked at each other in silence.

Yuki did not answer. He turned around, and stepped back to meet the waiting prison chief with an annoyed face. Grumbled about the time and the consequences if the kingdom knew what it was doing now.

When Yuki stepped out. The door behind him was tightly closed.

Yuki walked over with a gotai. Like a soldier who loses a battle. He just lowered his head with his shoulders drooping.

It feels really stifling.

After getting out of the prison, Yuki got back on the boat. As soon as you set foot on land. Yuki walked slowly with uncertain steps.

The very cold air pierced the skin. Winter has arrived. Maybe it'll snow tomorrow.

Yuki looked up at the sky. He felt his life was unfair.

Until when will he lose his loved ones.

The wind was blowing pretty hard. Yuki shivered under his cloak. The wounds on his body felt a throbbing pain. His stomach was sore because all day he had not eaten anything other than the medicine given by Rena. 

Yuki felt numb. He seemed to want to disappear forever from this world.

With the remaining energy. Yuki continued on her way. Stepping aimlessly on the still bustling streets of the capital. Several times Yuki hit the opposite footpath to him. His mind felt empty. 

Yuki barely even heard when anyone shouted at him.

Finally, Yuki had reached the edge of the river that split the capital. Light lamps from buildings along the river, reflected in the river.

Yuki recalled, this place was the one that Yuki and the Dalto Nobles visited for the first time when the Dalto Nobles took him around the city. In this place they spend more time when the afternoon arrives. Running by the river, joking and playing kite. Yuki rarely wins against the Dalto Nobles. They'll play until their bodies are full of sweat. Like two little kids who have no burden. If they are tired, they will sit under a large trambesi tree, enjoying the afternoon atmosphere while eating the food they bought before.

They'll talk anything. Their Dreams. Sadness, joy and hope.

Then laughs at their stupidity. 

Yuki had no idea when was the last time He could laugh like that since They were no longer together.

It was only yesterday, they were there sitting eating grilled corn that the Dalto Nobles had bought from a traveling merchant.

If you can, Yuki wants to turn back the clock. Fixing error. Enjoy their simple yet pleasant togetherness.

Many memories they have gone through.

Yuki was sitting on the ground. Tears falling down on the ground. Breath tight. He could not contain his sadness. 

Yuki felt a feeling of sadness, anger and disappointment at one time. However, He did not know how for all the negative feelings that were gouging in his heart to come out. 

It felt like there was a big hand gripping Yuki so strongly. Suffocate. It makes Yuki unable to breathe.

Tears were pouring down Yuki's face. He's biting his lips. Resisting the urge to scream loudly.

"What are you doing here ?" 

King Bardana was not far from Yuki. Walk closer with an anxious face. Behind him the Nobles of Voldermont followed.

King Bardana deliberately went around the capital in search of Yuki who was reported to disappear from the room. He had not expected to find Yuki alone by the riverbank when passing through this place.

 King Bardana was shocked when he saw Yuki's cry. She had seen a similar face crying like Yuki a few years ago. King Bardana was silent for a moment, thinking about what to do to deal with Yuki.

Yuki continued to cry until her whole body shook.

King Bardana advanced with calculated steps. Approaching Yuki and gently touching the girl's shoulder. "How can you be here" 

Seeing Yuki who did not respond to his words. King Bardana pulls Yuki's hand, trying to make him stand up. But Yuki restrained her body, refusing to move from where she was whistling. 

"It's so cold, your body hasn't fully recovered. I'll take you home" persuaded King Bardana Again.

Yuki. Staring at King Bardana with pain. He squeezed his chest strong. It was as if the grief that gnawed at his body was about to explode, smashing him into pieces. "How is this Your Majesty.what should I do.." Yuki sobbed. His tears are flowing more and more. He hit his chest a few times while bowing his body. I hope the sadness soon disappears inside him. "Here.here it hurts so much..How do I get rid of it" Yuki said in confusion.

King Bardana crouched down near Yuki. Didn't say anything. She hugged Yuki. Yuki was crying hysterically in King Bardana's chest. Spilling all the stifled feelings out. 

King Bardana lets Yuki cry until Yuki calms down. The nobleman Voldermont came and gave his Cloak to King Bardana to cover Yuki. Yuki's hands and feet were almost frozen. "We go home" asked King Bardana gently as he placed the robe of the Voldermont nobleman on Yuki's shoulder. Covering Yuki so as not to shiver in the cold. He treats Yuki like a father to his daughter who is hurt by a broken heart.

Attentively, He pulled Yuki to his feet. He walked towards the waiting horse carriage.

However, before reaching the horse carriage, Yuki's gaze darkened. In an instant he collapsed unconscious.

"Yuki.." call King Bardana when Yuki's body is leaning towards him. He held back the girl from falling to the ground. The noble Voldermont deftly pulled Yuki and instantly lifted Yuki's limp-dropped body.

"Bring into the chariot" ordered King Bardana who was directly accompanied by the nobility of Voldermont. He picked up Yuki and put Yuki to sleep on the long bench that was inside the carriage. Then King Bardana entered. Door's closed. 

The horse carriage drove quickly back to the palace.

The huge bell on top of the tower continued to sound with a terrifying rhythm. The rhythm is stable but gives the listener a strange meaning. 

People flocked in with enthusiasm. The longer the crowd the more. They entered into a semicircular building located on a hill.

Yuki looked up at the sky. The sun is covered in clouds. The sky looks sad today. Cold weather pierces the bones.

He stared worriedly at the building in front of him. The walls are gray. There are many stairs leading to the spectator stands. Below it was a field half the size of a football field. 

There was a feeling of rejection when Yuki stepped foot into the building in front of her. He forced his feet to keep going.

In the middle of the field, a small stage was placed. There was a pole made of sturdy wood standing towering on the stage. 

It didn't take long, the entire crowd had been in full. 

Yuki knew she shouldn't have come. He didn't need to look at it in order not to add to his suffering. The Dalto nobleman had already warned Yuki beforehand. 

The Dalto nobleman knew Yuki would be hurt even more deeply if He did not come today.
