Morning Dew's

"Hey.ham...ba.." Blood came out of Rena's mouth. Yuki hugged Rena even more tightly. 

"I beg Rena...Don't say anything else" Yuki shouted loudly. He knows what Rena will say. His face was slowly blushing.

The Soldiers still stood guard tightly forming a line. A trained soldier crouched down to check Rena's pulse. 

"Sorry.sorry.maa.af...Kan's..Hamm.ba...Ti..no...can serve..." Rena says. 

"Quick medical call" cried the soldier who examined Rena's condition. Two servants ran to execute the order. Their footsteps sounded more and more distant.

Yuki shook her head. She was crying as much as she could. Her chest feels tight. 

"Don't say that, you're getting married...You'll have a family...You have to survive Rena...I'm begging you..." Isak Yuki tergugu's. She continued to hug Rena tightly, as if afraid that Rena would just disappear in front of her.

Rena took a deep breath. Then he was silent. Staring at Yuki with a blank look. The look in his eyes dimmed further, but still implied such a huge apology, which He wanted to convey to Yuki.

He regretted not being able to take care of Yuki anymore. She hopes Yuki will always be okay. 

Yuki's cry was unstoppable. He roared holding back his heart.

Tears flooded his face. 

Yuki remembered the moment they first met. When they quarrel because Rena forced her to wear Princess clothes that Yuki disliked. When they stayed together made Gererou in the palace of Prince Riana. Rena is always patient with Yuki who often acts annoyingly. She always smiled at Yuki.

And now, for the sake of protecting Yuki. Rena is willing to make her body as a shield that protects Yuki.

Rena's hand fell on Yuki's lap. His heart stopped beating.

There's no sound whatsoever. Silent. Outside the rain was getting heavier and lightning was grabbing so hard.

"Rome..." The whisperer of Yuki lirih. Rena is not moving. Yuki wiggled Rena's body tight. I hope Rena responds to him. "Renaa..." Call Yuki louder 

Yuki's heart was pounding. 

There was a soft sound behind Yuki. The servants were crying.

The soldier who kept checking on Rena and trying to give first aid looked up. Yuki looked at him with sympathy. "I'm sorry Servant Princess, we just lost Servant Princess" 

Yuki shook her head in refusal. He shook Rena's body. "Wake up...Rena...I beg of you..Awake" 

"Yuki" a pair of hands belonging to Prince Sera stretched out and hugged Yuki from behind.

"Prince..Princes..I beg you.save Rena...I beg of you" Yuki said hysterically.

Prince Sera looked at the Warrior in front of him. The soldier shook his head slowly, answering Prince Sera's unspoken question.

"He's no longer Yuki" whispered Prince Sera lirih. 

"No..He's getting married soon..He should be happy...Not like this" 

Prince Sera releases Yuki's embrace on Rena's body. Rena's body was taken over by two servants and soldiers. Prince Sera rubbed Rena's face. Closing his eyes that were still open.

Eyes closed. Rena has been sleeping for ever. Then Prince Sera pulled Yuki to his feet. He had to hold Yuki's body that refused to get up. When Yuki managed to make her stand up, Prince Sera immediately hugged Yuki to ease Yuki's grief. 

Yuki cried sadly at Prince Sera's chest. His hands were covered in Rena's fresh blood. He was so fucked up and hit.

While the servants began to clean the bloodstains on the floor. Prince Sera did not wait until it was finished. He immediately carried Yuki to leave.

Yuki stood in front of the wooden pile where Rena's body was laid. This was the second time He had to attend the funerals of those he loved and the third time He witnessed They lost their lives without anything Yuki could do.

Yuki's heart feels frozen. He just stood there in his place. Blaming himself for the deaths of those he loved. Prime Minister Olwrendho, Count of Dalto and now Rena. Yuki was unable to do anything to save them. And they all died because of Yuki.

Actually, the wounds experienced by Rena did not hit the vital organs. But the arrows used have been laced with dangerous toxins made from very dangerous frogs. That is why despite the help, Rena's life can not be saved.

There was no need to be a reliable archer to kill Yuki, as long as the poisoned arrow hit his body. Yuki must have been killed. But Rena, realizing the danger, pushes Yuki to the floor and exposes him to an arrow.

Yuki approached Rena's body. Saw it for the last time. Rena is so beautiful today. She was like a bride waiting for her bride to come.

Fire is distilled. Slowly the thick smoke rose high in the air. Yuki felt weak. Prince Sera who continued to stand behind Yuki instantly advanced, swiftly charging Yuki's body to avoid falling to the ground.

"We rest for a while" Prince Sera said in a voice he refused to deny, leading Yuki to leave the funeral. They walked down the stone stairs. Prince Sera placed Yuki under the trambesi tree cautiously.

The cemetery is only attended by a few people, because Rena is a resident of Garduete Country. He had no family or many friends in Argueda. Yuki looked blankly ahead. Prince Sera sat beside Yuki. Gently squeezing Yuki's hand.

"I will send people to send their ashes to their families" Prince Sera promised slowly.

"Thank you" Yuki replied sincerely.

Now, no one in his trust will help Yuki through his days in Argueda.

 

 

Yuki's health declines after she leaves Rena's funeral. Yuki is experiencing high heat and is barely able to get out of bed. 

Yuki can't forget Rena. It gets even worse when Rena's death brings back Yuki's memory of the death of everyone Yuki has ever seen.

Death of Princess Ransah, Prime Minister Olwrendho, Sei, Nobles of Doldores, Putti Norah and Nobles of Dalto. Everything seems to pile up, fusing together and becoming a nightmare for Yuki.

 

 

Yuki jumped out of her sleep. He reflexively brushed off the hand that was outstretched nearby. The washcloth used to wash Yuki's face was thrown to the floor by Yuki's hand.

"Princess Magitha" called Yuki in surprise when she realized who the owner of the hand that had just been on the edge was.

Yuki looked around the room. There was no one but Princess Magitha. I don't know how long Princess Magitha has been there to look after Yuki.

"I'm sorry, it looks like I've surprised the Princess" Princess Magitha said as she leaned over to pick up a lap that had fallen near her feet. And then threw it into a basin of cold water nearby. 

"I'm the one who's sorry. I didn't know the Princess was here" Yuki said in a regretful tone.

"Princess has a bad dream. I heard the Princess muttering a few times" Princess Magitha said calmly. As if what Yuki experienced was an unnecessary thing to exaggerate.

Yuki saw the scenery outside through a nearby window. It's late at night. There was a clear drizzling sound. Mixed with the singing of frogs living in the palace pond.

"Thank you for taking care of me" Yuki said at last.
