Morning Dew's

221

In a panic, Yuki sees Prince Riana swimming to get to Yuki. Yuki again kicked her legs on the surface, stretching out her arms to grab Prince Riana. When Prince Riana finally caught up to him, Yuki was relieved.

Prince Riana pulled Yuki into her arms. Yuki coughed as a result of drinking water when he almost drowned earlier. Both bodies continued to be dragged by the water currents. Meanwhile from up there came the cry of Prince Sera and the roar of horse steps that ran to chase Yuki and Prince Riana.

Prince Riana swam while still hugging Yuki towards the riverbank. He then spread the thick grass that was on the edge of the river. A niche was seen at the boundary of the flowing water. It will not be visible if the grass is not removed.

"Come.." invite Prince Riana to Yuki to swim into that niche. Without a doubt He followed Prince Riana inside. Dive into the water down a hallway that only fits one person. Continues forward until slowly Yuki feels the water getting smaller and the surface of the land becomes sloping. They continued their journey on all fours until they reached a cave that was quite hidden from view. As Yuki looked in front of the mouth of the cave, he found that the cave was in a large stone groove covered with shrubs. There's a papaya tree near the cave. Yuki found some ripe fruit that was not intact because it was eaten by birds. Besides, Yuki doesn't see anything else to eat.

When Yuki returned to the cave. Prince Riana sat leaning against the cave wall. Cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"In the meantime we will hide here" Prince Riana said as she leaned her head back. Yuki immediately walked over to Prince Riana when she saw something strange to Prince Riana.

"Let me check" pinta Yuki slowly.

Prince Riana's wounds have an infection. He's got a high fever. Yuki tore off the bottom of her dress and immediately twisted Prince Riana's wound to stop her bleeding. Prince Riana's breath was severed withstanding the pain.

"We need to contact someone. Where is the Gulf Prince" asked Yuki while patting Prince Riana's body to look for Prince Riana's Gulf 

But Yuki could not find him.

"It seems like it fell when we went into the water earlier" replied Prince Riana slowly.

"Where's your Gulf ?" Prince Riana asked back.

Yuki shook his head regretfully. "I left it in my room. I'm sorry, I don't know if there's going to be anything like this"

Prince Riana did not answer. He closed his eyes. 

His body began to shake with cold. Yuki immediately took off Prince Riana's clothes that were still wet, frantically He exited the cave to look for something. But Yuki doesn't know where to start or where. He had no experience whatsoever to survive in the forest. 

Finally Yuki took the dry leaves wide enough to be carried into the cave. He laid Prince Riana on a pedestal he made from dried leaves. Then hoard the body of Prince Riana on it with another leaf to make it feel warm.

"I'm sorry Prince, because I'm Prince got hurt up like this" whispered Yuki sadly.

Yuki felt increasingly guilty towards Prince Riana. If it wasn't for Yuki, he wouldn't have experienced something like this. Yuki felt He always brought trouble for Prince Riana. Several times Prince Riana almost got a danger for protecting Yuki.

Yuki looked at Prince Riana holding back the pain. The hand that was holding her felt very hot. Prince Riana was half-conscious when Yuki decided to break his orders by walking back out of the cave to look for wide dry leaves to use as a blanket that covered Prince Riana and gave her little warmth.

Yuki took a papaya with twigs. Take him into the cave. At least this papaya they can use to fill the stomach during hiding in the cave.

Yuki slammed the strong papaya against the rock until it split. Clean the contents and return to approach Prince Riana.

"Eat this..." Pinta Yuki while thrusting the papaya that He had cleared from its seeds towards Prince Riana. But Prince Riana just remained silent while curled up with a trembling body. Yuki touched her, her body temperature was rising. Yuki was sure that the current body temperature of Prince Riana was already close to forty degrees Celsius or so.

Prince Riana's lips were tightly clenched. Eyes closed. He looks helpless. The wound on his shoulder greatly affected his body. It seemed like Prince Sera smeared the arrowhead with a poison that reacted quickly on the affected body.

Yuki sat waiting. But when the morning begins to change during the day and Prince Riana does not wake up. Yuki became anxious.

Prince Riana should have the energy to recuperate. But how could He be healed if He ate nothing.

Finally, Yuki decided to smooth the papaya by chewing it, then put it bit by bit into the mouth of Prince Riana.

Yuki continued to do so until certain that Prince Riana had eaten enough of it.

Prince Riana did not wake up in the afternoon. Yuki enveloped Prince Riana in the clothes she had dried while waiting for Prince Riana to come to her senses.

As the day began to turn night, and Prince Riana was still unconscious. Yuki sat down, putting Prince Riana's head on her lap while thinking. Try to calm down and not panic.

Yuki is very worried about Prince Riana's condition right now. And he didn't know until when Prince Riana would come to her senses. He also could not leave the cave to seek help. Other than Prince Sera's army, Yuki is sure to still be wandering around looking for him. Yuki also doesn't know where she is now. If Yuki desperately left the cave, he could get lost and instead would not be able to find the location of this cave anymore. If that were to happen, surely Prince Riana would be alone in her current state, obviously dangerous for Prince Riana.

What if no one finds this place anymore while Prince Riana has yet to come to her senses from her stupor.

So Yuki decided to wait until Prince Riana came to her senses and did not leave this cave especially when it was already dark like now.

"Prince.. Please hold on..." Bisik Yuki was sad. Darkness enveloped the surroundings. The cold began to feel. Inversely proportional to the body temperature of Prince Riana who has not been normal.

There was only the sound of animals accompanying. The rustling sound of the wind blew out the cold air that made Yuki shiver. Yuki remained in his position. Hugging Prince Riana tightly while making sure Prince Riana's body is covered with the robe he used to envelop Prince Riana.
