"You better go upstream to catch a boat across. If you're late, you have to wait until the day after tomorrow. That's also if it can" the Chief of Guard Doubtfully said.
"Is there a problem on the way by boat ?" Asked Nobility Xasfir while taking back the paper that was in the hands of the Chief Guard.
"none. But there are rumors that the kingdom will temporarily close the in and out passage"
"really ?. Why ?."
The Chief Guard shook his head. Reluctant to answer. "We are waiting for the official order to come down. If you don't want to postpone the trip, you better leave immediately"
The nobleman of Xasfir nodded his head. He slipped a few pieces of silver into the guard's head's hand as a thank you for helping to guide the journey.
The train moves, takes them away through the city gates. They continued to walk, not passing through the destination the Chief Guard had told them about. But another way to get to the border of the Kingdom of Argueda with the Land of Porinda. Arriving at the meeting point. Some of the disguised Garduete Warriors were already waiting. Prince Riana raises Yuki on horseback, then he follows up with Yuki.
The nobleman Voldermont had changed into a man. He brought his horse closer towards Yuki who was busy wrapping a cloth around his neck, to cover his hair and face so as not to be easily recognized.
"How's Yuki, are you ready to go home ?" Asked Nobles Voldermont to open the conversation.
Go home...
Yuki felt that was the most beautiful word he heard today. He had waited so long to return to Garduete.
Yuki nodded his head excitedly to answer the question of the Voldermont Nobles.
"Don't you get sick" said the Noble Voldermont chuckling.
Once everything is ready. Prince Riana then spurred his horse firmly in the company behind.
The horses galloped, with rhythmic steps through the trees. Leaving the sun behind them. The sun is always warming...
The entourage of Prince Riana continued to run nonstop. They barely even talked to each other throughout the journey. Focus on the journey back to Garduete. All are hunting for time from the siege of the kingdom of Argueda that will close its territory.
They only stopped at the posts that Prince Riana had prepared before, to defecate, fill supplies and replace horses. Yuki was very surprised when she found out that Prince Riana had planned everything carefully. Eat and drink They do on horseback.
Day and night keep changing. The calculation of the time Yuki did became chaotic. He did not know how long they had been traveling on horses. How many posts they've been through. Yang Yuki knew, They only had one goal.
Back to Garduete
When they finally entered the border of the Garduete region. They can only rest for a moment to straighten their backs and change horses.
Yuki washed her face with water. It felt as if a ten-cm-thick dust had fused into Yuki's face, due to the journey he was on. But Yuki did not mind even though her body felt crumpled. Being able to return home safely, Yuki was already very grateful. He was not greedy and asked for more.
Yuki decided to take a shower and change clothes. He was helped by two servants, cleaning his body and changing clothes. When I finished getting her hair done. Prince Riana appears and again invites Yuki to continue the journey. Because there was news of Prince Sera's troops chasing them were quite close to Them.
So they went back on their way on horseback.
When they finally saw the Capital, Yuki felt much more relieved.
A feeling of relief mixed with haru filled Yuki. He still did not expect, in the end he was able to return to Garduete.
The Nobles of Voldermont stretched out his back as they entered the Capital. "After this don't bother me. Thanks to you, I have to rearrange all my dates" the Noble Voldermont told Prince Riana.
There was a bell ringing in a certain tone from the top of the tower. It was as if welcoming Prince Riana and Yuki back. The flower petals were scattered from the top of the fortress. It was like a pretty beautiful snow.
"Thank you for bringing me here" Yuki whispered to Prince Riana as they walked into the gate.
The whole Warrior and Servant lined up neatly. Welcoming their return.
Two days and two nights, Yuki completely refused to get out of bed. He was like he was on revenge for more than a week, lacking rest and only sleeping on a running horse.
On the third day, when Yuki was already feeling fresher. He went to the King's Palace to face King Bardhana and to meet the Queen Mother.
After all the business in the palace is done. Yuki goes to meet Rena's fiancee.
Yuki was carrying a large bunch of white lily flowers. Following Rena's fiancee named Azzam went to the cemetery area, where Abu Rena was planted.
The cemetery is located on a high hill. With a view below that is quite beautiful, combined with a bright blue sky. Yuki was standing in front of the tomb, with Azzam.
"We were planning on getting married there, she was the sweetest girl I've ever met in my entire life" Azzam whispered, looking blankly at the village below the hill. There was sadness in his voice, which he tried to cover up well.
"I'm sorry, I can't take good care of her" Yuki said regretfully.
"Don't apologize Princess, this girl of mine she won't regret even losing her life. He's the best"
"Yes..." Yuki agreed. "He's the best ever"
Yuki kneels in front of Rena's grave. He placed a bouquet of lily flowers that he continued to carry on to the tomb of Rena. Clenched his hands forward, looking down while closing his eyes.
He began to pray.
Rena.hopefully you can sleep peacefully there. I can't kill Princess Alena, even though I'm in the situation you were talking about. However, for your sake I finally managed to find the culprit. I am not ready to stain my hands with blood. Ii'm Sorry. I can't take good care of you.
The blowing wind blew Yuki's hair. He had already gained so much valuable experience from his adventure this time. It seemed, what happened brought Yuki a little into a more mature distance.
Loss, pain, and self-control to overcome the feelings of hate that gouged in his heart.
"What do you think ?" Yuki was surprised and turned around to the back. Prince Riana was lying down while supporting her head with one hand. He looked straight at Yuki. Looking at Yuki so deeply.
The feeling of comfort in Yuki. When He awoke from his sleep and opened his eyes, and found Prince Riana lying by his side. Convince Yuki that she is not dreaming.
It was late at night, Yuki curled up on the bed. Feeling the friction of the skin Those who touch each other. Just a blanket that covered the two of them from the extortion. Their clothes were scattered on the floor and the chairs that were inside the room.
Prince Riana was as fierce as a wild horse today, leaving Yuki shocked and overwhelmed.
