Morning Dew's

131

Children of different ages, hand in hand form large circles while singing merrily. While others are busy drawing or doing other games. Yuki was among the children in the vast land that was conjured into a field for children's play. He was helped by several palace servants to accompany children of victims of natural disasters to play, spending time in a sunny afternoon.

Occasionally Yuki directs the game or separates in case of a feud between them.

It has been three weeks since the disaster. Things are much better than before. Government aid continues to arrive. The community helped the local government start rebuilding the city They were devastated by the tsunami. 

In addition to building the city, the Kingdom also focuses on the fate of the victims, especially children who lost their parents. They are given therapy to slowly eliminate the trauma they have experienced.

Children who do not have parents will be placed in a special institution. They will be maintained by the State or can be adopted with a guarantee of life and education for their future.

Prince Riana has tried everything, He helps on the disaster field also makes careful planning for the lives of his people in the future. Slowly there is a sense of admiration in Yuki. 

The nobleman Voldermont came three days ago with the Xasfir Nobles replacing the Asry Nobles accompanying Prince Riana. From the Nobles of Voldermont, Yuki knows that Prince Riana is serious about releasing all of her women despite being about by the Queen Mother and the King. There were no more women belonging to Prince Riana in the women's palace.

Yuki did not believe Prince Riana actually did it.

"Princess Yuki see there, there are children from Argueda Country" exclaimed a nine-year-old boy. Her name is Oira. Oira shakes Yuki's hand hard. Reverse the daydreams of Yuki.

Yuki who was sitting while helping Oira color the picture on the paper, immediately looked up to see the direction Oira pointed at.

A small group of children were hiding behind the trees. Looking ahead with a curious gaze as well as a typical fear of children.

A guard who was in charge of watching around came forward with a ferocious face. Harshly shouting to drive the children out of the land of Argueda. "Do you want to come here..Go on !!" 

Some kids are scared. Some even ran into the forest. Yuki immediately stood up and approached the guard to reprimand. 

"Uncle please don't do that, what's their fault. They are just kids who don't know anything" Yuki scolded dislike.

"But Princess, They are children from the Land of Argueda" the Guard replied reasoned.

"What if they're from Argueda. Do not involve them with the problems" Yuki looked at the children who were still hiding in fear. "Stay here. I'll talk to them"

The guard did not refute and bowed his head respectfully. Prince Riana ordered to look after Princess Yuki. It is not forbidden for Princess Yuki to meet the children of Argueda. After all if He keeps arguing and Princess Yuki doesn't like it. He could get into trouble for being considered against the kingdom.

Yuki walked calmly towards the remaining children in front of him. He had to be careful not to make them even more frightened.

"Ka..We just want to see the princess. We have no intention of disturbing at all. What a princess" said one older child of her age than the others with a trembling voice holding back tears. "When we look for fruit in the forest. We heard singing. We're here out of curiosity, Princess"

A boy of about four years old hugged the girl's waist with a frightened face. The girl who spoke to Yuki spread her arms trying to protect the child from being afraid.

"Don't be afraid. I didn't come here to scold you guys" Yuki said calmly. "If you want, you can join us. We'd be happy if more friends would join us to play together"

"But" the girl glanced at the guard in an unconvinced manner. 

"The name of Hazel's servant and this is Qiras' servant's brother" Hazel replied softly. Even so, he was more relaxed to speak.

"Include my name Yuki. Well, since we are acquainted, will you accept my invitation to play together" Yuki said with confidence.

"Is it okay ?" Qiras still seemed hesitant to accept Yuki's invitation.

"It's okay. Don'tbeafraid. I'm the one who guarantees your safety. No one will hurt you there" Yuki reached out with a look of friendship. "I promise"

Hazel raises her hand. Slowly receiving Yuki's hand. Yuki smiled with relief. He was holding Hazel, followed by Qiras beside him walking towards the field. The other Argueda children, after looking at each other and whispering to each other, ventured to follow Yuki who first walked in front. 

"Kids, we have a new friend" Yuki exclaimed excitedly. The children who were in the field exclaimed cheerfully. They go back to playing games with their new friends. Draw, decorate kites, play cat and mouse and other games they can work on to fill the excitement.

Yuki smiled happily at the cheerfulness on the innocent little faces. Removing the fatigue that is felt after three weeks of dissolving in tension. In the world of children, there is no such thing as a son of Argueda nor a son of Garduete. Same everything. It is the adults who bring the differences that separate them.

It's getting late. Once satisfied with the play, Yuki helps bathe the children of Argueda and dress them up well. Give them clean clothes. Feeding the same as other children. After all was done, a resident would kindly lend him his chariot to take Them back to Their camp. Yuki lifted them up one by one on the car. He himself went up to deliver. Accompany them to their destination.

Along the way they sang together. Their voices sounded so carefree, without burden. Decorate the air along the road they pass. 

The encampment of the Kingdom of Argueda was on a hill. Twenty minutes by horse-drawn carriage from Garduete Campground. Yuki did not understand how could the children play so far away without anyone realizing.

The train arrived at the camp gate. Stopped by the guards on duty. Yuki got off to help the coachman explain to the guard. Generations of residents of Argueda who were at the location began to be seen. They were curious about the arrival of the horse-drawn carriage from Garduete.

When Yuki will explain to the guards. Prince Sera emerged from behind the crowd. He immediately approached Yuki with a surprised face.

"You looking for them ?" Seloroh Yuki while smiling seductively.

"Help the children to come down" Prince Sera ordered the guards. They immediately moved to carry out the orders of Prince Sera.

"Thank you for bringing them back safely Yuki" Prince Sera said sincerely. He then turned around and looked at the children who had lined up neatly by the horse carriage. Waiting.

"You all have made us anxious. Do you realize that ?" Prince Sera said scolding the children in a soft tone.

"Excuse Us Prince" choor the children simultaneously. Even though they apologized, there was no regret in it.

"I don't want something like this to happen again. Do you guys understand ?"

"Yaaaaa" 

Yuki until closed her ears, when the children returned to answer with a long choir that was quite tight.
