Morning Dew's

"I'm too old to take the Queen's place" the Queen Mother opened the conversation. "If the King deals with problems at home and abroad, then the Queen and the women in the harem palace are obliged to help the King support him from behind, creating the next generation and educating them to have the quality to lead the Country in various aspects of life. Preserving the dignity of the King as a woman of choice. Because whatever we do as the King's woman, it will affect the public's judgment of the King himself"

Yuki silence. Minding views. Dare not to argue with the Queen Mother. 

"Although as an ordinary human being I have many weaknesses, but I have done all my duties up to this point. And I think my job is over. But it turns out I was wrong, my final most arduous task was to give up my singasan to the right person, who was able to support the King's Government" The Queen Mother sipped her tea. His eyes were staring at Yuki. "When the kingdom takes you as its lover, I will always watch over your movements. However, I am very disappointed in you Princess Yuki"

The hand of the Queen Mother trembled with anger. Jaena's mother helped Suri put the tea back on the table.

"The kingdom has given you the status of a woman belonging to Prince Riana, even though you were raised in a much different world, but you also got an education in the best school in the country. You should have understood that as a woman belonging to the Prince, you should no longer be in contact with any man beyond the limits of reasonableness. But what are you doing ?. You keep in touch with other men even to the point of almost putting two big countries at odds"

Yuki's bowing her head more and more, She remained seated politely in front of the Queen Mother. Just quietly listen. 

"I still understand that you refuse to sleep with the Prince because you are too young, but your attitude towards the Prince is often not commendable. You repeatedly denied his orders and rejected the presence of the Prince near you. I feel you need a lot to learn to be a proper Princess. All this time Riana has spoiled you too much. I've often advised him to provide special training with the best teachers I've chosen, but He always refused, saying You don't need any of that. But see what the result is ?"

Yuki listened to all the scathing criticism that the Queen Mother had been throwing for over half an hour. The Queen Mother disliked Yuki's attitude towards Prince Riana. Yuki did not know if all the training that was mentioned by the Queen Mother would be useful for her. She is not a future queen, and again Yuki is not interested in the competition in the ladies' palace.

Yuki bowed his head respectfully after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother was satisfied to correct all of Yuki's mistakes, she allowed Yuki to leave the room. 

Yuki desperately wanted to leave the Queen Mother's Room immediately. He's been over dosage advice. The Queen Mother considers Yuki as a woman who does not know adapt.

He had prepared the teachers to teach Yuki personally starting tomorrow at Prince Riana's palace. And all will be monitored directly by Jaena's mother who then reported to the Queen Mother.

Yuki was surprised when she came out of the room. In front of the entrance Prince Riana was already standing. He seems to have been there long enough. Yuki looked away, avoiding Prince Riana's probing gaze.

The old nagging waitress named Mother Warsy was quieting down near Yuki.

Yuki bowed respectfully to Prince Riana who was standing in front of him. "Greetings to Prince Riana, Prince regent of Garduete Country" 

"I want to see the Queen Mother. Mother Warsy you're with me" Prince Riana said firmly. Mother Warsy seemed to object but she did not dare to reject Prince Riana. Ms. Warsy just kept quiet, bowed her head in salute and then walked after Prince Riana who first entered into the Queen Mother's Room.

Door's shut tight.

Yuki was silent for a moment in front of the door. He then walked in lethargy. The entourage of servants and bodyguards followed behind him. Yuki felt tired both physically and mentally. 

The royal horse carriage walked in just after Yuki came inside. He opened the window cover and looked out. It rained early in the morning, and has not shown any signs of stopping. Causing water in some points of the road. Green color is widespread along the way. The kids run around happily. They laugh cheerfully. Laughing They sound to attract Yuki's attention. Yuki looked at them with envy. 

The children looked free and carefree.

Yuki's heart hurts. As they pass through the city park, the place Yuki and the Dalto Nobles frequented when they were still together. 

Yuki turned her face. Tears rolled back her cheeks. He's bowing his body. Hugged himself tightly. Fourteen months have passed, he should have been able to accept the departure of the Dalto Nobles. But the pain just like yesterday happened. He shut his mouth tight. Trying to hide her sobs.

Yuki didn't want anyone to see her cry. Then looked at Yuki with pity. He does not want to be pityed.

"I want to walk in the park alone for a while" Yuki pinta told the waiter who helped her get off the train.

For a moment the Guardians who heard were about to protest. But when they see something on Yuki's face they stop doing it.

Yuki did not wait for the approval of the guards. He walked up the stairs. Then turn towards the hallway that leads him to the central park.

The smell of wet soil is so pronounced at the tip of the nose. Fulfill every corner of the park where Yuki stands alone. The flowers start to bloom. Spring has arrived.

Some guards decided to pay attention to Yuki from afar and not to disturb Yuki. 

Yuki felt her sanity back wavering. The pressure felt made him cramped. Yuki just wants to live peacefully on the chosen path. In fact, he has no right to his own life.

They want Yuki to be perfect like a learned princess. But it's not Yuki..Yuki did not choose the life that was on his path right now. He was forced into it without being given a chance to vote.

The rain came back slowly. A light drizzle drenched Yuki's hair. Yuki did not flinch. He stayed in his place. Looking blankly up at the sky.

It was like he was losing his direction. Not finding a handle that could save him.

Yuki saw her reflection from a nearby window. His figure is not human. He's like a zombie. He had no life in his eyes. 

Yuki needs someone who can help her. Finding a handle to get Him back on foot properly. 

Who ?

Yuki narrowed her eyes for a moment. His wet eyelashes started to shake. He kept staring at the shadow of himself inside. Seeking answers to the problems that are being faced.

"Please Prince Sera, please save my soul" whispered Yuki softly.
