Morning Dew's

Yuki returned to the palace late at night. He was very tired but his feelings were much calmer when he left the halfway house. In her heart, Yuki promises to return the next day to continue her treatment and provide shelter for the prisoners.

 

 

It had been more than ten days since Yuki came to the halfway house. He made a big change there. Many prisoners began to recover from their illness thanks to the treatment given by Yuki. Their faces were much more radiant than when Yuki met Them for the first time.

Yuki was pleased with the progress that was taking place. Although prisoners of war, but they have the right to live properly as a human being.

"You're going to go back to that shabby house ?" Rafael asked when he met Yuki who was just about to leave for the halfway house. "What's interesting there ?" 

"More interesting than I have to look at you constantly" said Yuki annoyed and trying to continue his journey which was blocked by Rafael.

As Yuki passed Rafael, Rafael immediately pulled Yuki closer and hugged her firmly. "What are you doing ?" Yuki asked in surprise. She tries to shift her body but Rafael refuses to let Yuki off.

"You don't think it's any better than taking care of the trash. You learned how to take care of your husband ?" Rafael's whisper in Yuki's ear. Without hesitation he directly squeezed Yuki's butt. Making Yuki help for a moment.

Yuki instantly brushed off Rafael's rough hand when consciousness had already penetrated him.

He looked at Rafael with a menacing look. Without saying anything more, Yuki immediately walked away leaving Rafael.

The incident just made Yuki realize, He must immediately find a way to leave this place. Now Yuki is still safe, because Rafael is very busy dealing with the threat of war in the State of Argueda under the leadership of Prince Sera, so he ignored the existence of Yuki.

But Yuki is not sure Rafael will continue to be busy and ignore Yuki constantly. There comes a time when he will come back to disturb Yuki. Yuki has to leave before it's too late. But how ?.

Luck doesn't always side with Yuki all the time.

 

"Please eat" Yuki said as he thrust out a plate containing boiled tubers found by maids growing wild around the halfway house. Today Yuki feels lucky to get the tubers to give to the captives. He was very confused about how to feed the captives. Rafael is cruel. When she finds out that Yuki is using the remaining food that is not worth serving from the disposal of the palace kitchen. He ordered the servants to burn all the food if it was not used. He did not want the food to be given to prisoners of war.

The captives took the boiled tubers that Yuki had thrust with pleasure. They don't care what Yuki gives them. For them, just being human is enough.

"It's a meal..." Yuki thrust a plate in front of a very mysterious prisoner.

The prisoner is curled up in a dark corner, secluded from the surroundings. Covering her whole body with a blanket up to her hair. He kept his head down so that Yuki could not see his face. Yuki did not know when this prisoner came to the halfway house. Yuki only realized the presence of this prisoner three days ago. But he was not hurt and refused to be examined. He just stayed alone in his place.

Maybe he wanted to save himself at the halfway house. 

Thought Yuki at that time would not bother. He also chose silence and did not tell others about the captive, including the servants and guards who followed him.

Yuki was very curious. He leaned over to peek at the prisoner's face. However, the captive quickly picked up the tubers on the plate and turned back to Yuki.

Yuki was very surprised by the attitude of the mysterious captive in front of him. He wanted to say something but another prisoner reached out asking Yuki for food.

Yuki looked at the mysterious captive for a moment. Then He decided not to bother and continued to share his food.

Finished distributing all the food, Yuki sat quietly among the captives to eat his own food. He peeled off the skin of the boiled yam that was still steaming its smoke.

"Im sorry Servant Princess, I hear you are a woman appointed by the god as the next future queen of Garduete Country. You are so beautiful and kind. Even though you yourself are here as a bawaman. But you still do not stop to spread kindness. You see everyone as the same person. Regardless of their status and position. Very humble and have a firm attitude to the principles you believe in. Fortunately, Garduete has a Queen like you. Unlike Kami, the ruler of Kami was very zolim not thinking about his people. Just trying to enrich yourself. Everyone is looking for safety. Throw Us away when we lose the battle to save ourselves as if We were not human." Said the old man who happened to be sitting near Yuki.

The man was actually a great general who fought to defend his country from Rashamsah's attack. But his cowardly King chose to surrender and throw all his troops to Rashamsah. The general, unwilling to submit to Rashamsah's rule, was taken prisoner of war until He was in a halfway house now.

"Prophey uncle, I'm sure one day this will all be over soon" Yuki said trying to calm down. 

"I heard, Prince Sera of Argueda also loved you so much that he dared to make a knight oath. Before I had thought, What kind of princess is capable of making the two regents of the great empire fight over it until it almost triggers a battle" said another uncle chimed in. "But when meet and see how the Princess with her own eyes. Now I get it. The princess has many privileges worth fighting for"

"Stop complimenting me too much like that uncle" Yuki said embarrassedly. "I'm just a normal human being. Doing good is an obligation" 

"Princess calm down, the two Princes will definitely come to the Princess' aid. Until that time comes, We will guard the Princess with our abilities"

"Thank you uncle" Yuki said sincerely.

"Actually what's interesting here until you feel at home coming here" 

Raphael suddenly burst into the room with a dozen Rashamsah royal troops. He raised one eyebrow while looking around. "They can already be used" Rafael told the head Warrior standing beside him.

Yuki immediately placed the yam on his lap and immediately approached Rafael angrily.

"They haven't healed properly" Yuki protested.

"They were just being spoiled and lazy" Rafael argued indifferently. "All the soldiers immediately gather all the captives here and have them return to work immediately. If anyone defies, instantly kill on the spot" Rafael orders again to the soldiers without a doubt.

All the soldiers immediately moved to execute the order.

"You can't do that" Yuki bursts into rage.

"Why can't. I'm the King here. My orders are absolute. I've let them live in this country. So it's only natural that I demand my compensation"
