Morning Dew's

12

I sat on the sofa looking at the view from the open window, while Rena behind me was cleaning my wound. Last night was a stressful night. The journey back to the prince's palace felt extremely long and dangerous. Luckily we arrived safely to our destination.

I was immediately put into the room and the Prince added a few more guards throughout the palace.

"Hopefully the wound does not work" Grumbled Rena slowly.

I just kept quiet and didn't answer. My mind was filled with what happened last night. Almost.yes I was almost killed. The target of the shoot was directed at me blatantly. Whoever it is can certainly target my life to get the power of destruction that is supreme. Long-lost forbidden magic.

It feels crowded to think how many more lives should be lost because of me. Until when this madness can be stopped. I was deep in my mind. Describing my mind, trying to find the answer to the complicated thread that seemed to be wrapped around me without control.

"Aduhhh.Rena's pants, why is your strength so strong" I grimaced when the bandage ties on my shoulder were pulled tight. Disperse my reverie.

"Have ?"

I turned right away. I don't know since when Prince Riana has been behind me. He replaced Rena to clean the wound and bandage it back. I hurriedly raised my sleeves and tidied them up. My hair was half wet after the shower. Not a good sight to see.

Rena herself stood respectfully near us.

In a professional style, he takes care of the drugs and puts them in bed. Then, turn away. Leaving Me alone with the Prince.

"Prince Tumben this early is in the Palace ?" I said trying to open the conversation. Immeasurably I moved to give us a sitting distance between us.

"How are you doing ?"

"As the Prince saw, I've been fine"

"Your wounds will be impregnated, but with the medicine of Serfa the scars will slowly fade away"

"I'm thankful enough I'm still alive today. This ex won't bother me. As human beings, we cannot be greedy"

"If it was another princess, they would have cried out in confusion just because of the speck of scars on her body"

"Unfortunately I'm not them" Selorohku origin. "How is the prince's investigation progressing ?"

The prince nodded slowly. "Now we know the motive but we have not found where the Nobles and Daughters disappeared. No leads at all."

I thought for a second. Trying to remember my dreams.

"We need to find out a temple that has been uninhabited for a long time. In my dream I saw Sei being there while He was..." My tongue was stuck unable to continue the conversation. "If you see the condition of the temple will not be far from the city"

"There are several temples around the area that are already uninhabited" the Prince took the gulf and tried to contact someone.

"All of you come here, there is something we need to discuss" the Prince told the Xasfir Nobles. "Tell Serfa to come too"

Nobles Xasfir nodded in understanding. Half an hour later we were gathered in the Prince's office.

I told her my dream when I saw Sei get killed. How the temple is, whatever I see and touch. They listen carefully. Then make a list of approximately any temples that meet the criteria to be investigated to speed up the search process. They also made a list of suspects to suspect. I frowned as I read one of them.The name of the Dalto Nobles was in one of his lines, It seems He is suspected because of the past of his parents.

After all was arranged, the Prince ordered the Xasfir Nobles to organize an army to comb through all the suspected temples. They also split up to do their job.

"Are you sure I should do this ?" I asked the nobleman Voldermon in disbelief. We're in the prince's office. The nobleman Voldermon held a needle and ice in his hand. Sitting next to me.

"We must make a piercing in your ear in order to pair the royal earrings with you"

"I never thought of piercing me all this time, why should I do it ?. I can wear that earring in the hole of my existing ear. There's no need to quip her" I said annoyed.

"This is a royal earring, a symbol that you're a woman belonging to the Prince of the Land of Garduete. If you wear it in your old ear hole without piercing it, it means you will be considered as royal ladies and Riana may hand you over to other guests at any time to serve them. Do you want to live like that ?"

"don't want. Who wants to be like that" I replied riled. "I've never heard of a royal decree like this before"

"Many things you don't know" said the nobleman Voldermon calmly.

"Why don't the waitresses do it, why should you"

"Do you want Riana to do it ?"

Ughhhh...

I can't imagine if the Prince pierced me. "You go ahead" I said at last in a tone of surrender.

"Smart cat"

The nobleman Voldermon is holding my ears. I endured the pain when the needle was inserted into my arm. He continued to attach the cloth wrapped in ice cubes to relieve the pain. "It's done"

I took a small mirror. My ears are still red. A small earring is implanted there. Noble Voldermon just put it on my left ear.

"Lord Voldermon how was the investigation regarding the temple yesterday ?"

"We've found most of the victims"

"Really.where's ?"

"In the former burned temple. But from further investigation, some of them had died first before being banished there"

"Is the former temple a former temple where the Dalto Nobles family case exists ?"

"Yes...But take it easy, He's still clean. We have not found anything suspicious of him. He was as usual busy with his roses"

I feel relieved to hear it.

"You're still so considerate of him"

"Of course, he's my first friend in the world"

"Friends ?" The nobleman Voldermon laughed mockingly. "There is no such thing as a friend in a man-woman relationship. Tell me has anything ever happened to you guys ?"

"What kind of thing happened ?" I don't understand.

"Have you guys ever kissed ?"

"Never" I'm direct. "I told you he's my first friend in the world. There's nothing you meant earlier"

"Somehow I feel sorry for Dalto. Riana I understand you now" exclaimed the Noble Voldermon in a contrived style of sympathy. "You are a cruel princess.more precisely you are like a child"

"What do you mean"

The nobleman Voldermon stood. "Here you go, the king asks us to meet him. Let's go"

I was in the field near the King's palace. Grief felt in the palace.The grim faces are seen adorning the residents. We went to the temple where the funeral service was held. When Princess Norah's body was raised to the place of burning all stood to pay their last respects. Yep...Princess Norah has been found with the bodies of several servants and nobles who previously disappeared. I lined up neatly watching the ceremony that took place. His body was placed in a box. His body was badly crushed, his hands and feet were cut off.

I'm not too surprised to know his current condition. Actually, I saw Princess Norah's death in a dream. But I kept quiet, not wanting to tell the Prince. He has thought too much, I don't want Him shaken by it.

I still remember how his cries of pain as one by one his limbs were sadistically cut. I remember her crying for forgiveness from the person in front of her. I remember the last groan before he took his life, when a tombat was smashed into his mouth, piercing his head. It all feels real. I did not like Princess Norah but I never expected her death to be like this. I never expected to see his death without helping him. Whoever did it, he's crazy. That guy's not human.

Sobs were heard from a mother who was abandoned by her daughter. I was in that position once. Losing someone I love very much. Fire ignited. Burning of the corpse leaves a grim remnant for those left behind.

"You shut up" said the Noble Voldermon as we walked out of the kiln. Walking among the crowd of people attending the "Hey what's going on?" funeral ?" The nobleman Voldermon blocked my hand.

"It's okay" said I brushed his hand slowly.

"Your face is very pale"

"I was just thinking too much about this funeral" Kilahku reasoned.

"Don't you see when Norah was killed ?"

I let out a breath. Nodding his head slowly.

"Why don't you tell it"

"I don't want to make the Prince anxious. He's been in so much trouble. I don't want to add to the burden of his mind"

"That's not going to help. You should have been honest with us." Reject the nobleman Voldermon upset.

"I'm sorry"

Suddenly I felt a stifling feeling.

A moment later, Unexpectedly an invisible blow sent me bouncing down.

"Yuki..."

The nobleman Voldermon ran to help but he himself bounced back and hit a tree. Panic ensued, the pilgrims ran for their lives.

another attack

I was surprised when something like pulling my hair. Shouts of pain came out of my mouth as I was dragged with my hair. I'm holding my hair. So hurt.

my body was scratched with earth and stone.

Someone jumped at me. Pulling my hair and shaking the sword.

Hair cut.

I looked up to see the rest of my hair cut off walking into the forest. Unfinished it all, a terrifying growl sounded from within the forest. The wind blows back against us. The person above me was hugging my body. Protecting me from the blow.

Blood flowed on me. I'm lucky enough because of that guy's protection, I didn't get any worse injuries.

"Damn.." Whisper the man. In the condition of injury I immediately recognized his voice. That guy pushed me away. When the hit hit him. Blood came out of his nose and mouth.

"Daughter Yuki are you okay ?" Asked Nobles Xasfir to pull me to my feet.

I broke away from the Xasfir Nobles and ran towards the Dalto Nobles who were struggling to stand up. He looks tired.

"Dalto nobleman are you okay ?" manya panic. But, Royal Highness Dalto instantly brushed off my hand. His eyes seemed to say don't touch me with a loud voice.

I'm retreating. Realizing his attitude was still unfriendly.

"I just want to help you" I said softly. The noble Dalto stood up but he collapsed again. He hinted with his hand not to get close when I reflexively approached him.

"The bodyguards brought the Dalto Nobles back to his residence." Prince Riana is near us. I did not realize his presence. His expression at this moment was hard to guess. Two soldiers came, helping the Dalto Nobles to stand up. Expose it in such a way. "Thank you for saving my woman" the Prince said without expression. Dalto's nobleman was pushed away.

"Vold are you all right" asked the Xasfir nobleman near me.

"dad....I've never seen such magic before" Nobles Voldermon grimaced holding his back. He walked over to us. "Your looks are so ugly" he always looks at me.

I'm silent to see myself, my hair is disheveled. Cut to shoulder. My forehead was still bleeding freshly, and some parts of my body were badly scratched as a result of being dragged hard.

"What's really going on" I asked still tangent. It wasn't ten minutes, but it was already battering me and almost dying.

"The blue moon that comes once every hundred years will arrive, where black magicians can get great power if they can drink ciel blood" explained Serfa slowly.

"The power of the dasyat ?"

"Yes, a power that can bring about the destruction of all dimensions in this world, in other words the Apocalypse"

the apocalypse....?

"Anyone is desperate to attack around the palace. We have to be careful." Definitely Serfa again.

Prince Riana crouched down in front of me. cleaned the wound on my head and tied it with a cloth to stop the bleeding.

"A Ciel would be very dangerous if he fell into the wrong hands."

"Quite Serfa, don't scare Yuki anymore" Hardik Prince doesn't like. The prince held me in his chest. "This is a public place, there are a lot of ears that we have to be aware of" he continued.

"I forgive your noble servant"

The prince did not answer. I was silent when the Prince took me away.

Since then the terror of dreams has haunted me. I don't know how many times I've dreamed of the death of someone I know. They were killed sadistically. No chance of self-defense at all. No matter whether He is male or female, They are tortured and killed without mercy.

Often every night I find myself waking up in sweat. Not infrequently I shouted hysterically before I finally woke up. The prince did not comment much on seeing my condition. Nor did he ask much until I told him my own dreams. It was to close my eyes even though I was afraid.

My mind's tormented. I was depressed, so I refused to eat and sleep. I'm afraid that if I fall asleep I'll go back to watching the murders without being able to help them at all. It made me feel very mentally and emotionally tortured.

"Daughter, Eat your morning bread Princess has not eaten anything at all"

"I'm not eating. If I'm hungry I'll ask for your help" I told Rena when she came to bring corn soup to the room. I sat watching the view from the window of the room. Resisting the drowsiness that attacked me. The wind made my efforts feel heavy.

I don't want to sleep. I can't help myself to motivate myself.

"The palace cooks made corn soup for the princess. Eat just a little, so that the Princess has enough energy" persuaded Rena again.

"I'm not hungry nor am I sleepy, you don't worry"

"Princess if this keeps Princess will be sick. Two nights ago the Princess did not sleep. Eating was almost untouched. I beg the Princess to take care of the Princess' health"

My head feels dizzy. I think my low blood is coming back. I moved to get up, but darkness came upon me for a moment.

I smell the therapeutic scent in my heart. It felt like the voices of Prince Riana and Serfa were far away, Slowly I opened my eyes and found myself on the bed. Pastor Serfa was checking my pulse, while Prince was standing behind him. Rena stood not far away, looking at me anxiously.

"You are the Princess" Serfa said calmly.

"Yes..." Reply weak. Serfa pressed my arm, tracing my pulse with her other fingertips.

"I will give Alkupuntur to the Princess in order to calm the tense nerves"

I let the moment Serfa stuck the needle into the arm, she continued with a stab at my temple and neck. The prince turned to sit next to me. His hand stroked my forehead gently. His face was seriously looking forward, like he was thinking of something.

"It's over" Serfa said at last. He pulled the last needle out of my body.

"Thank you" I said.

"I will concoct medicine for the Princess, Try to keep the Princess well rested and well fed, the condition of the Princess has not been so recovered due to yesterday's events, do not add to unnecessary thoughts. it could be detrimental to the Princess' health"

"I understand"

"I'll give you a meal for the Princess. Today ask the cook to make swiftlet soup for the Princess" Serfa ordered Rena.

"Ready to be carried out by the Great Priest" said Rena with a reverent attitude. Serfa cleaned up the equipment.

"My task is done Prince, Princess just needs to rest and calm the mind"

"Yes, you can go"

The two of them left me with only the Prince. We were silent for a moment, dissolving into each other's thoughts.

"Is everything okay ?" I asked in the end.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that question" the Prince replied softly. "Tell me what good is it that you refuse to eat and sleep like now ?"

I'm speechless.

"Nothing will change with you refusing to eat and sleep like this Yuki, even if this attitude of yours will make things worse"

"I'm sorry"

"I understand you're very uncomfortable with your dreams. But you have to face it. Remember, you are now living in a world that is clearly different from the world you once were, and again now you are part of the kingdom. You have to get used to the bloodshed around you."

"Can I ask you something ?"

The prince did not answer but his body movements showed he allowed it.

"When did the Prince first kill people ?"

The prince was silent for a moment. His face is unpredictable, He is good at keeping emotions at the right times.

"I was 8 years old"

"What's..."

I'm appalled. At the age of eight years, his age in my world only knows to play and play, he has even trained and killed his enemies.

"At that time when I had just practiced the arrow alone, the palace traitor tried to kill me. The protective soldiers have been neutralized. Only I survived, running to save myself. If I die the country will be chaotic, the potential for a major collapse. I had to kill him to save my country." The Prince looked at his hand, his thoughts long ago when he was a child. "I held the arrows and killed them without hesitation.The kingdom was very proud to see my ability, You believe, Father instantly made this palace for me"

I didn't expect, He had a huge burden on his shoulders. He even had to think about what a 8-year-old should not think. I don't know how many times he had to face an attempted murder that almost took his life. Understanding that makes my heart cramp. Behind the magnificent royal palace and the sparkling life within it, there were many hidden dangers.

"You have to understand, inside the palace you'll feel alone. The higher your position, the more dangerous your life will be. No friend or foe is everlasting."

"How do you feel after killing the traitorous army of the kingdom ?. You were only eight years old."

"Why are you asking that ?"

"You still remember it until now. It means it's something you don't forget easily. I can't imagine the horror of what you were facing at the time. I was just thinking, People saw you great back then for killing the rebels who attacked you at your very young age. But, did you get help after that ?"

"For what ?"

"Of course to cure your trauma, although as great as the Prince at that time.Still the Prince is just an ordinary little child"

Silent prince. He took his wine and drank it. "Nobody's ever said anything like this to me before"

"The Prince has helped me a lot, if the next time the Prince faces an unpleasant situation, the Prince can come to me. I'll help ease the Prince's burden" on him.

"You speak like that, as if you yourself could already face your problems"

"At least you can fulfill my good intentions" I replied annoyedly.

Prince smiles. He ruffled my hair with his hands.

"Stop...!!" irked me.

The next day, I went to the King's palace to meet with the King and Reverend Serfa because of the nightmare I had last night. This dream is very different from the previous one. My dream last night was completely out of the ordinary. I saw the destruction of the world. My surroundings are burning. There's nothing left. Hot air enveloped. I even thought I was in hell then. Serfa said it might be a picture of the future if I fall into the hands of the enemy. He reminded me many times not to trust anyone other than the Prince to remember .

After meeting the King and having lunch together, I decided to return home soon before the sun rose higher and higher. I got on the waiting royal train. The Prince could not accompany him because he had needs elsewhere.

Horses walked slowly, down the road with tight control from the guards. The prince forbade me to sit by the window, worried that the madman would come again and throw an arrow at me. According to him outside the palace, the danger is greater than inside. So I decided to sit in a hidden corner, but could peek into the half-open window. I've been taking textbooks, I haven't been to school for a long time. I've missed a lot.

We arrived in the middle of a crowded city. The soldiers were busy emptying the road so that the train could pass. Very solid activity.

There was a loud voice that filled my ears. I was surprised and reflexively peered outside. Two trains full of cargo rolled in front of us. It filled the road.

The driver of the train got off and there was an argument between the two car owners. While the surrounding community came to see what was happening, there were also those who secretly looted the scattered items. The soldiers became increasingly busy to dispel the crowd and the fray.

The driver in front of me came down to help. Mouth is inevitable.

As the atmosphere heated up, the carriage door was forcefully opened from outside. I didn't realize what was going on, when someone pulled me out quickly.
