Morning Dew's

222

If anything happens to Prince Riana, Yuki will not forgive her. 

Why they're always like this. Close but always separated. It was as if fate was playing them cruelly.

The night is getting late. Yuki gently rubbed Prince Riana's hair. He began to think about getting Prince Riana out of the cave to seek help. But what if they even meet with Prince Sera's army. What would Prince Sera do if he found Prince Riana now ?.

Yuki believes Prince Sera will not mess with his words. With the power that Argueda had now, he could kill Prince Riana and destroy Garduete in an instant.

Yuki couldn't let that happen.

 

The sound of a twig being stepped on. Yuki who had overslept immediately straightened her shoulder. Looking ahead with a cautious attitude. He woke up from his sleep. Looking around in panic.

Prince Riana was still unconscious in Yuki's lap. Meanwhile, out there, there was the sound of horses and the voice of people talking.

The Prince of Sera.

Yuki was very sure of that. It turned out that They had still not given up looking for Yuki and Prince Riana inside the forest.

Yuki inched to place Prince Riana's head carefully on the ground. Prince Riana's condition is getting worse. He couldn't possibly wait until the soldiers left.

As Yuki was thinking about what steps to take. Prince Riana suddenly coughed loudly. His voice echoed within the cave. The sound outside was silent. 

They've been found out.

I heard footsteps approaching. Yuki immediately snatched a wooden branch nearby to use as a weapon. He stood in a cautious manner in front of Prince Riana who was still lying helplessly on the leafbed that Yuki had made.

The soldiers of the Argueda Kingdom entered with full armament. It's like looking for a big-time criminal. They stood covering the cave door. In an instant the Cave became brighter because of the torch they carried.

"Yuki's.." Prince Sera burst in from behind the line. There was a feeling of relief emanating within him when he saw Yuki standing in front of him.

Yuki held a powerful twig in her hand. Still excited clearly the conversation Prince Sera and Princess Marsha heard by Yuki.

"Yuki come here.." Prince Sera extended her hand to Yuki. But Yuki did not flinch. His jaw was tightly clenched. 

Yuki moved backwards as Prince Sera tried to approach him. He swung the twig in his hand rejecting the arrival of Prince Sera. "Yuki..." Call Prince Sera feeling frustrated.

Prince Riana coughed loudly again. Making Yuki turn around and look at Prince Riana worriedly 

"Yuki.follow me"

"No !!" Reject Yuki hard. 

He brushed off Prince Sera's hand trying to touch him. Yuki's tears are back. She was crying sobbing. Shoulders vibrate.

"All out" Prince Sera ordered firmly when he saw Yuki crying in front of him.

The soldiers obeyed the orders. Without much asking they lined up neatly leaving the Cave. Now there was only Yuki, Prince Riana and Prince Sera inside the cave.

"He's dying, if you keep him here and don't get the right help. He will die" Prince Sera said indifferently.

"The land is poisonous, isn't it ?" Yuki asked as she looked at Prince Sera with a demanding look.

Prince Riana coughed back.

Yuki. Prince Sera's words were correct. If He let Prince Riana stay in this place, endure Yuki's selfishness. Prince Riana is going to die. He must not let Prince Riana die like this. Nnnnope.

 Yuki clenched both her hands tightly. Meanwhile Prince Riana coughed again. His face was pale with weak breath.

"If I come with you, can you promise to save her ?" Yuki asked softly while looking into Prince Sera's eyes deeply to assess the seriousness of Prince Sera. "If I follow your wishes, will you be able to guarantee that He can return safely to his country ?"

"Yes, I promise" 

Yuki held her breath for a moment. Then He again said after a moment of silence "If that is the case, please save Him and let Him return to Garduete. In exchange I'll come with you"

Prince Sera looked at Yuki for a moment.

"I beg you..." Whisper Yuki again when he saw Prince Sera looked speechless in thought.

Prince Sera turned around. "Soldier" he called her tight. A soldier-head went inside.

"Prepare a stretcher and take Prince Riana to the Zein Physician's medicine hall" 

The soldier came out to execute the order. Not long after a stretcher was brought in. Prince Riana's body was lifted onto a stretcher. Tied up so as not to fall. Four soldiers carried it on their shoulders.

Yuki directly followed behind Prince Riana's palanquin. Refuse to distance. Yuki was afraid that Prince Sera would change her mind at any time and injure Prince Riana. Meanwhile Prince Sera was near Yuki. Holding Yuki's hand was strong. As if warning Yuki of the agreement they had made.

Arriving at the forest road, Prince Riana's body was instantly moved on the wagon without cover. He was treated as a worthless prisoner. Yuki walks past Prince Sera, rejecting a helping hand that invites Yuki to ride a horse with him. Yuki ignored Prince Sera and chose to walk beside Prince Riana's wagon. Yuki rubbed Prince Riana's forehead with a handkerchief that had been soaked in water. Compressing his forehead so that his body temperature does not rise. He used his coat to protect the scorching sun that hit Prince Riana directly.

During the trip, Yuki will occasionally check Prince Riana's body temperature and make sure Prince Riana is still breathing. Yuki can only hope that Prince Riana is able to survive and can return to Garduete safely.

 

Nearly two hours they walked. Until finally they arrived at a simple hut located on the edge of the forest. Yuki looked at Prince Sera doubtfully. Isn't Prince Sera going to take Prince Riana to the medicine hall. 

But Yuki had not had time to ask, an old man who had just come with a basket containing herbs that he got from the mountain came. He looked surprised when he saw the entourage of Prince Sera in front of his house. He came rushing over to greet.

"Hamba Tabib Zein came to pay respects to Prince Sera, the regent prince of Argueda kingdom" said Tabib Zein as he bowed before Prince Sera.

"There was the wounded Prince of Garduete Country. Can you handle it ?" Ask Prince Sera directly.

Tabin Zein was shocked when he heard the words of Prince Sera. He immediately walked over to the wagon where Prince Riana was lying down. "God...quickly bring Him inside" Physician Zein said immediately upon seeing Prince Riana's condition in panic.

Two soldiers helped to capture Prince Riana. Yuki sneered in following into the house of Physician Zein. But Prince Sera blocks Yuki's hand.

"We wait here" he said calmly but did not want to be denied. Yuki finally backed down and chose according to. He was sitting on a long bench on the terrace. While inside the Tabib zein began to check the condition of Prince Riana and provide help before it was too late.
