Morning Dew's

138

"Are you okay" asked Prince Sera worriedly. He put down his spoon and leaned his body closer to Yuki. Pulling Yuki's hand that was still rubbing her eyes with tears on her cheeks.

"Sad" Yuki's sighing like a child.

"Let me see it" slowly Prince Sera opened Yuki's closed eyes carefully. Then clean with a clean cloth, and to make sure. Prince Sera blew Yuki's eyes gently.

"Yes is a bit light" Yuki replied as she shifted her seat to distance herself from Prince Sera. "Thank you Prince"

"I'll open this shell for you" After making sure Yuki's okay, Prince Sera took back Yuki's plate. He peels the shells easily using his hands. Put it on the empty plate that was in front of Yuki.

"Now eat, but be careful. Use your mouth to taste food not with your eyes" Prince Sera said.

Yuki immediately squealed at him. But even so, He still took the clams on his plate with a spoon and tasted them.

"It's delicious" Yuki cried in disbelief. He put the clams back in his mouth with a feeling of pleasure. 

"You happy ?" 

"Yes" Yuki replied satisfiedly.

Prince Sera smiled. "Then eat much, I will prepare for you.

"Thank you. The prince is always the best" Yuki said happily.

Eight days have passed. Prince Sera is kind enough not to touch Yuki even though they share a room together and sleep in the same bed. Yuki was also allowed to roam freely throughout the palace. He never locked Yuki away, just like what Yuki had experienced all this time if He was in Prince Riana's palace.

During that time, Yuki kept trying to find the latest developments regarding Prince Riana. But the result is nil. No one knows Prince Riana's whereabouts right now. Prince Sera had emphatically warned his people not to discuss anything regarding the land of Garduete in front of Yuki.

Yuki's getting anxious. He did not know if Prince Riana was okay. He disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth. No one knows his existence. Or is he okay or not.

"Yuki, what are you doing today ?" Prince Sera asked as he finished his bath and prepared to go to sleep. Yuki was sitting leaning on the head of the bed while reading the book that was placed on the lap.

Prince Sera approached Yuki while drying her hair with a towel.

"Nothing interesting. I was busy reading the book inside the room" Yuki said with a calm smile. To fill the time, the Servants gave Yuki a light reading in the room.

"What's it interesting ?" Ask Prince Sera again. He shuffled to sit on the edge of the bed, beside Yuki. 

"Yes, quite interesting" Yuki replied again indifferently.

Prince Sera reached out to gently grasp Yuki's hand. Squeezing it lightly just to draw Yuki's attention from her book. Yuki looked up and found Prince Sera looking at him calmly. "Has something happened in the palace?"

Yuki. They still look at each other. Yuki could not guess whether Prince Sera had known it or not. Prince Sera continued to stare at Yuki inside, as if able to read Yuki's mind.

Initially, Yuki had never expected at all. He just thought all the uncomfortable feelings he felt were just a response from his subconscious mind. But he seems wrong. For no apparent reason, most of the Princesses who frequented at Prince Sera's palace displayed a clear hostility towards Yuki.

Yuki doesn't know what's wrong until they hate Yuki so much. He's been trying to be nice but their hatred is very strong. Yuki finally chose silence.

He did not dare to tell Prince Sera, as He did not want to add any more trouble for Prince Sera. Yuki tries to hide and suppress everything herself. Be patient with the Princesses who continue to oppress him with hurtful words. They treated Yuki like an uneducated person. Act like they feel they are right.

Like this morning, after breakfast. Yuki escorted Prince Sera to the front page. Prince Sera is going to the working palace to help with the border assistance. After Prince Sera's entourage exited the palace gate, Yuki walked back to the room. In the middle of the journey he accidentally met the entourage of the Princess Nobles who had just walked from the central park. 

"Our Prince cannot be blind if he is not used. How could He choose a woman whose education is unclear to be his wife" a Princess quipped in a voice loud enough to hear Yuki.

"I heard He dated a noble who embraced black magic. Perhaps from the Nobility He gained knowledge to use the Prince of Sera"

"Give once such a woman. She had only used her pretty face to acquire foul intentions towards Our Prince. What good is an unfaithful woman like her, Prince Riana of Garduete has already announced herself as the future queen. But he still spread charm to other men even use black magic to lure the man"

"The cheap woman doesn't know her name"

Yuki hastened her pace. He doesn't want to find trouble. So he decided to leave immediately before his patience ran out.

"When Prince Riana fucked her, she acted like a suffering innocent girl in front of Prince Sera. Really sneaky"

"There's no way Prince Riana forced her to sleep together. He must have teased Prince Riana first. The declining talent of his seductive mother"

"What a wild" 

The laughter of the Princesses sounded loud. Makes Yuki's ears hot. He can stand it if he is insulted. But he doesn't accept if his mother's been rubbed. So, Yuki stopped her steps and turned towards the Princesses who were walking in opposite directions behind her. Ignoring the prohibition of a senior servant trying to hold him back from paying attention to the words of the Nobles Daughters.

"Wait a minute, I want to talk to you guys"

Yuki stopped the steps of the Nobles Princesses. He looked at them with courage.

"I wonder who you guys were talking about just now" 

"We don't know what you mean" replied one indifferent Princess. He turned around and wanted to leave in a haughty style. Yuki held onto her shoulder but she immediately brushed aside. With a look of disdain, He wiped his shoulder that Yuki held with a handkerchief. 

"I'm sure you know. I can still take it if you vilify me. But I won't stay silent if you take my mother with you" Yuki said firmly. "I don't know why you hate me so much. If there really is a problem, Why don't you reprimand me directly" demanded Yuki try to confront directly.

"You want to know what's wrong with you.Your fault is to come here. You're not welcome here, so what are you coming for. You're very disturbing" 

"Princess Yuki is Prince Sera's fiancee. You guys have to be polite to her" the senior servant who followed Yuki said.
