Morning Dew's

"What have you been doing lately with Magitha ?" Prince Sera asked suddenly as Yuki and Prince Sera sat together on the bed while doing their respective activities.

Yuki who was reading a book while leaning directly turned her head. He did not expect Prince Sera to ask him. Prince Sera did not look at Yuki. He was busy reading the document on his lap. Just like Yuki, Prince Sera sat leaning back while sticking her legs forward. Her hair was damp after taking a bath, and she only wore a sleeping robe as her outer garment.

Yuki knew, even though Prince Sera did not look at him. But Prince Sera was watching Yuki's response closely. So Yuki had to be careful in choosing the words, so that Prince Sera would not suspect him.

It is not easy to lie to Prince Sera, especially if He knows Yuki better than Yuki himself.

"Princess Magitha invited me to try to blend in with the Princesses in the King's palace. I was afraid that He would be saturated if he kept me company in the Prince's palace, so I proposed that I should visit him in the King's palace. After all it is good if We are together at the King's palace, Princess Magitha does not have to bother to and fro to take care of me and Queen Warda" said Yuki carefully.

"You're so familiar apparently"

"Princess Magitha is very pleasant. He never complained if he had to compensate for my slow movements" Yuki said honestly. "The prince was very lucky, to have a younger brother like Princess Magitha"

"She was one of the women that mattered to me. After you and Mom, Yuki" I'm the sincere Prince. Making Yuki's face instantly blush in embarrassment. Prince Sera put his document on his lap and turned to look at Yuki quietly, yet deeply. "You may play in the King's palace, but remember, never plan anything that endangers your safety. Do you understand" firmly Prince Sera made Yuki gulp.

His heart is pounding. He was afraid that Prince Sera suspected his plan and Princess Magitha.

"What can we do in the King's palace ? Yuki asked as if she did not understand the direction Prince Sera spoke. "In addition the Prince has given us very strict protection in the palace"

"All right I understand. It was also my fault that I rarely came home and accompanied you in the palace. You must be bored here alone. But I emphasize once again, do not take dangerous actions. If anything gets in the way you need to get to me right away"

"The prince need not worry. I understand" Yuki said calmly. He did not want to create trouble for Prince Sera. Nor do you want to be silly with dangerous actions. Prince Sera smiled at Yuki's reply. He pulled Yuki and immediately kissed her forehead.

"I believe you" whispered Prince Sera gently in the end.

 

 

It's very bright today. Yuki sits in the garden of King Jafar's palace alone. Busy with his mind. 

He chose to sit on a park bench, where He and Princess Magitha first chatted together. Princess Magitha's maid has just arrived. He delivered a message from Princess Magitha. Princess Magitha suddenly could not come because she had to take care of Queen Warda whose health had declined again. 

Yuki has lost the responsibility to return to the palace. So He chose to spend a moment, sitting alone in the palace garden.

Yuki's been investigating for a week. But it was not as easy as he had imagined. Instead of finding a clue. Yuki must often eat heart to hear the insults directed at her from the Princesses.

Yuki wants to give up. But the shadow of Rena's face the last time made her back excited. 

Yuki believes that sooner or later, he will find a clue that leads to the perpetrator of the attack.

Yuki scratched the pen on a small book located in front of him.  Crossing out some of the names of the Princess who was previously on the list of perpetrators. Yuki deliberately made notes in the book in order to help her think. Because keeping everything in her brain can't help, Yuki has to pour her thoughts into a notebook. 

Some were given question marks for the Princess who doubted her involvement. Some are star-marked for princesses who have strong motives and potentially commit crimes.

Princess Elena 

While reading the name, Yuki instantly remembered with a face full of sadness from a fragile soul. There is such a great destruction in Princess Elena. Yuki deeply understood that sadness, because she was once in the position of Princess Elena. Exactly the sadness he felt when the Dalto Nobles died. Although now He can control the sadness, and accept it with air. When recalling the death of the Dalto Nobles, Yuki still felt a pain in the chest.

The sadness that Princess Elena felt was the destruction of another version. Although different reasons but the effect felt the same.

People who love with all their heart. Someone who made Princess Elena willingly refused the arranged marriage held for her. Never looked at him at all. Even that man, did vow not to marry another girl for the rest of his life, for the sake of another woman. 

Princess Elena has a deep and deep enough love for Prince Sera. In his eyes was only Prince Sera.

Yuki was stunned for a moment, a thought flashed through his head. He could not ignore the reality that plagued his mind.

Princess Elena has never bullied Yuki like the other Princesses do, she avoids Yuki instead. 

But even so it doesn't mean Princess Elena doesn't hate Yuki right ?.

One can not express his hatred openly. Other feelings such as sadness can mask that feeling of hate. But it could be, the feeling of hate that is being hidden is much bigger and more dangerous, than the feeling of hate that is shown by others openly.

Yuki has a hunch that Princess Elena is the culprit. Laiden or Prime Minister Borindo can clearly see the feelings of Princess Elena's love for Prince Sera. He then uses Princess Elena to destroy Prince Sera by attacking Yuki.

But, Yuki had no evidence that could support his suspicions. If he steps wrong, he could be accused of slandering Princess Elena. Yuki had to think of a way, proving his suspicions were correct.

But how ?.

Yuki couldn't possibly have shared this suspicion with Prince Sera. If Prince Sera finds out Yuki ignored his warning, and is still investigating the matter of this assault until now. Prince Sera will get angry and instead ban Yuki to the King's palace. He had also promised Princess Magitha not to involve him, Princess Magitha was very afraid of making Prince Sera angry.

Yuki also couldn't possibly infiltrate Princess Elena's residence. He had no good reason to visit there.

Yuki scratched his head that was not itchy, feeling agitated. 

A gentle pat on Yuki's shoulder made Yuki jump in shock. He almost fell out of his seat. Luckily someone immediately held him back. 

When Yuki turned around, Prince Arana was behind him. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make Princess surprised like this" Prince Arana said regretfully upon seeing Yuki's expression. 

Yuki's heart was still pounding. He came back to fix his seat. Calmly, Yuki closed his notebook to make Prince Arana unsuspecting. He did it as he could.

Princess Magitha once said Prince Arana was not aware of their plans either.
