"It seems I'm good at making my future wife misbehave"

"Don't bother me" hardik Yuki dodged. He tried to hide his shame. But Prince Sera withdrew her hand and directly hugged her tightly.

"Silent Yuki" asked Prince Riana when Yuki tried to rebel. Yuki was finally silent. Prince Sera tightened the embrace on Yuki's waist. "It feels like I still can't believe it, I can take you in the end"

"Prince.." whispered Yuki.

"I promise I will always make you happy" whispered Prince Sera again.

Yuki silence. Not to reply to Prince Sera.

There was a crowd below. Yuki broke away from Prince Sefa's embrace and looked down. Everyone looks excited. Standing on the stern while looking at a single point in the middle of the ocean.

The servants and Soldiers walked out with carefree smiles. A waiter looked up and saw Yuki who was looking curious. "Prince, Princess Yuki. We will soon arrive in the capital" the servant told. 

Yuki looked up, staring at the ocean in front of him. Seagulls fly in the sky, indicating soon they will approach the land.

Waiting with heart palpitations. Yuki could not believe that in the end he would be in Argueda. He will soon set foot in the home country of Prince Sera. What is the country like ?. Is it the same country as Garduete ?. 

Yuki was very curious to find the answer. 

The black speck in the middle of the sea slowly formed a long line that stretched wide. Sorai cheer is getting bigger. Yuki squinted her eyes to see more clearly. While, the royal ship continued to accelerate, there was no sign of its speed diminishing.

Increasingly, the lines formed a vast landmass along the eye of the beholder, with towering mountains. It is like a crown on it.

"Welcome to the land of Argueda Yuki. Finally I can show you this country" whispered Prince Sera gently in Yuki's ear. He hugged Yuki's waist which was still fixated with the scenery in front of him.

The city building is starting to be seen. Samar heard the sound of drums being hit aloud. The ship slowed down its speed. Following the stream of water quietly, bringing them closer to the pier.

When the ship starts to close. Cheers were getting heard, blaring to the corners of the sky.

When the ship finally docked perfectly. The crew seemed much busier than before. Anchors are lowered. The sound of his chains resounding deafeningly. The rope is thrown down to be tied to the stake that is prepared. All work fast and are trained.

"Why so many ?" Yuki's question didn't understand.

The people gathered along the pier. They continued to cheer for the arrival of the ship, as if there was something special that had been waiting for a long time.

Prince Sera reached out and led Yuki gently to the lower deck. Towards where the army of Prince Sera and the white horse belonging to Prince Sera waited.

"The news of your arrival has spread all over the capital. Many were curious and wanted to see firsthand what kind of woman my wife would be" Prince Sera replied while helping Yuki ride on horseback. 

Prince Sera was riding behind Yuki. All the troops are preparing to open the road.

"Is the palace far from here ?" Yuki asked curiously when she saw that Prince Sera had climbed onto the horse. All the troops around them were in a standby position. 

"No, quite the opposite.The location of the palace is very close from here. But we cannot go on foot through this crowd" Prince Sera explained flatly.

Yuki looked at the crowd that had been waiting below. He could not even guess where this line of gathered people ended up. The unfamiliar faces looked at him in such a way. It takes a lot of courage to walk through it on foot.

Prince Sera looked at the head of the bodyguard at the side. Giving orders through eye signals. Aba-aba given. The guards waiting under the ship pushed forward to open the way. Slowly the board is made of strong steel, which is used to cross the ship to the mainland at lower slowly. His voice was thumping as he touched the ground.

Prince Sera spurred his horse in tight control by the Soldiers. Unknown faces changed. Yuki looked at Them, her little heart hoping that she would find Prince Riana among Them.

The drum in the ringing was timidly following every step of the horse's foot. Prince Sera did not reduce his speed, although his subjects continued to haggle over his name. From their attitude, it is clear that Prince Sera is a Prince who is loved by his people.

"Why is the Prince so tense ?" Ask Yuki in the end. He was no longer able to stem his curiosity. Yuki had to raise her voice in order to compensate for the commotion around her.

"It would be better if we were in the palace soon. That way I can reduce the possibility that someone will take you away again from my side" Prince Sera replied frankly. Makes Yuki speechless.

After turning at the end of the road, there is a hill surrounded by grassland. Just above the hill close to the towering rock cluster, the palace of Prince Sera stood firmly. The sound of the waves breaking the coral sounded from the distance. The salty smell of sea water is smelled in the air. 

"Open the palace gates" a loud voice rang out from within the palace. The doorkeeper hurriedly pulled the lever. The three-meter-high iron door slowly began to open.

Yuki looked up to see the high walls surrounding them. When they entered the palace gates, they were greeted by a long hallway made of black stone. Prince Sera's palace was very different from Prince Riana's. 

The sound of horse footsteps echoed giving rise to its own rhythm.

At the end of the road, a gate was waiting. Once inside, the atmosphere immediately changed. They entered the front yard of the palace is so broad, in ornamental various types of flowers in a neat layout. Swans, birds, deer, cats, squirrels and dogs are allowed to roam freely in the park. 

If in the palace of Prince Riana, the garden tends to be filled with lush pepohohohan. In the palace of Prince Sera actually filled with cheerful colors. Like describing the personality of Prince Sera, warm and pleasant.

From a distance, on a hill. Sitting in a crowd of Princesses who were enjoying the afternoon breeze. Whether Yuki was wrong, he felt the hostile gazes from the Princesses being aimed at him. 

"Come.." invite Prince Sera while reaching out to help Yuki down. Yuki received a helping hand from Prince Sera who had first descended from the horse. One hand of Prince Sera held Yuki's waist. Pulls Yuki down until she lands safely. 

Prince Sera gripped Yuki's hand tightly. They're climbing the stairs. The soldiers stood on each rung of the stairs while stomping their feet. Sing a welcoming song in a loud voice.
