Morning Dew's

151

The laughter of the princesses filled the room. They laughed happily chatting familiarly. Yuki distracts her by eating some cookies on the table. 

Yuki felt the Princesses were trying to attract the attention of Prince Sera. But he immediately dismissed that prejudice. He went back to thinking what prejudices had arisen because he felt jealous ?.

Yuki's gaze unintentionally pounded on Princess Alena. The quiet princess who loved Prince Sera very much. He sat a little away from the group. His face holds sadness. He lowered his head while playing something in his hand. Refusing to interact with the surrounding. 

Seeing Princess Alena, Yuki became very guilty of making her. 

"Prince, don't accompany Princess Yuki alone. Let's gather with Us" asked Putti Nadira to open a chat. He approached Prince Sera with a spoiled attitude. "I just learned a new song. Does the Prince want to hear ?"

"I'm also the Prince, if the Prince wants to see my dance"

"How about I play the lute for the Prince"

It's like getting command. The Princesses immediately surrounded Prince Sera. Yuki was caught off guard by the commotion that was happening. He chose to step out of the circle that surrounded Prince Sera.

"Thank you for your good intentions Princess, but I'm sorry I can't accept it" Prince Sera refused firmly. "Please get back to where you are now"

"Prince don't be. Poor the Princesses" Queen Warda's sergeant who was silently watching.

"But Mother." said Prince Sera was wrong.

"I know you'd really like to be with Princess Yuki. But it's good that you're friends with the others, too. That way Princess Yuki also has a chance to make friends with everyone" Queen Warda said looking at Prince Sera deeply. Ask for Prince Sera's understanding.

"Don't know what a stale base is not ?" Princess Magitha asked in a sarcastic tone. 

"Magitha watch your words, I never taught you to be as impolite as you are now" Queen Warda insisted.

"I'm sorry, Mother, but what I'm saying is not the truth. Big Brother obviously doesn't want them, He just wants to be together with Princess Yuki. They act as if they are ignorant or shameless. Keep on buying Brother like a fly"

"Magitha" rebuked Queen Warda more emphatically than ever before.

The atmosphere became tense. All silent no one dared to speak. 

Suddenly Yuki felt a chill on his back. Sweat ran down his forehead. Both of his palms felt cold as ice. Not only that, Yuki felt his stomach stir quickly. His heart is beating fast. His breath became tight.

What's going on ? 

Yuki rubbed her nose when she felt something flowing from inside her nostrils. There's a blood stain there. A blackish-red color was seen on his hands with a rusty iron-like smell. Keep dripping until it wet his dress.

Yuki closed her mouth as she coughed loudly. Blood came out of his mouth. Prince Sera turned away when he heard Yuki's coughing voice.

"Yuki's.."

Prince Sera was surprised. He immediately jumped leaving the Princesses and walked over to Yuki who was still coughing. Every time he coughed, blood would come out of his mouth and nose.

"Princess Yuki.." call Princess Magitha and Queen Warda together.

Yuki had a really great crunch. It was as if all the air was leaving his body. Prince Sera punched Yuki in a panic. Yuki still did not stop bleeding.

"Call Naru quickly" cried Prince Sera at the guards who were still standing with clueless eyes. 

Yuki felt like she was bobbing in eternal darkness. Not only this time did he feel this way. His whole body felt crumpled. Like being punched by hot iron at a constant speed in every joint.

His throat was hot, his body was burning. But no matter how hard Yuki tried to escape the pain that attacked her, she remained in place, still helpless.

Yuki's consciousness is gone. There was a time when He was able to listen to the sounds nearby. But Yuki is unable to open her eyes or make a sound. Even to move his fingertips, he could not.

"Prince, let me replace the Prince guarding Princess Yuki. The prince hasn't slept since yesterday. It's good for the Prince to rest first" asked Rena to Prince Sera who sat quietly beside the bed.

"Go away" said Prince Sera with a sad tone. He refuses to leave Yuki. Yesterday afternoon his heart stopped.

"It has been a week that the Prince is less rested because he takes care of the Princess. If this continues the Prince's health will be disrupted. Let me take the place of the duty of guarding the Princess, and the Prince rest for a moment" refer Rena again near Prince Sera.

Yuki was in a conscious state when they spoke. But He had no power to move or speak. He was very surprised when he heard that it had been one week Yuki was lying helpless as he was now.

"Go away" said Prince Sera still stubbornly.

"Son, what he said is true. I'll take care of Princess Yuki. Brother go to the next room to rest" exclaimed Prince Arana helping Rena.

Yuki wanted to get up and tell Prince Sera not to worry. She's doing just fine. But the darkness continues to dominate it. He could do nothing against it.

Anger overpowered him. His tongue felt stiff and numb. In his attempt to get out of the darkness, suddenly a thick fog enveloped the surroundings. Yuki was drowning in darkness. He was again tossed within the limits of consciousness.

 

Yuki opened her eyes slowly. Slowly the light entered through his vision. He blinked a few times, adjusting to the ambient light. His head feels heavy. It was as if there was a large stone placed on top of his head.

Silent and lonely too.

After his consciousness recovered. Yuki finds herself in a room with a high wall rising to the top. The smell of medicines filled the entire room. On the left is a large window that shows the view of the capital from a distance. Then there are shelves containing a wide variety of herbal ingredients to make medicine. 

Yuki was lying on a small bed located in the middle of the room. The fireplace is still lit to give a feeling of warmth when a cold wind hits outside the building.

Where am I ?

Yuki felt someone grab his hand. When He lowered his head, Yuki found Prince Sera sitting by the bedside. Falling asleep with his face creeping into the bed. He looks tired. Yuki was surprised when he saw Prince Sera was much thinner than before. Looks mustache and a thin beard that is usually always diligent in cleaning by him. Even his eye bags were clearly visible in both of his eyes.

Yuki moved her hand and stroked Prince Sera's hair with her free hand. His movements made Prince Sera move from his sleep.

"Prince.." whispered Yuki weakly as Prince Sera woke up and their eyes clashed against each other. Yuki gave a warm smile as if showing that there was nothing more to worry about. He's fine now.

Prince Sera immediately woke up and inching closer to Yuki. He grabbed Yuki's face. Touching their foreheads with a haru feeling.

"Thank God" Prince Sera whispered in a trembling voice.
