Morning Dew's

240

Yuki had just finished drying clothes in the backyard of the dormitory of the Kuldhi building. As He was about to return into the room and continue his work, He saw Prince Sera leaning quietly on the trunk of a tree growing in the backyard. Eyes closed. He's sleeping.

Why is he here ?.

Yuki looked around and she found no one around. To be sure, Yuki whispered softly to Curly who was not showing her figure. But he was near Yuki. 

"Curly, what is ?" Ask Yuki slowly.

"There's no one else around and He's completely asleep" Curly said, answering a question in Yuki's mind.

After getting certainty from Curly. Yuki ventured to walk up to Prince Sera. He walked carefully so as not to wake Prince Sera up.

During his time at Garduete Yuki only dared to stare at Prince Sera from a distance. He had always avoided meeting with Prince Sera directly. Yuki is too cowardly to face Prince Sera with what Yuki has been doing all this time to Prince Sera. She still did not dare to meet Prince Sera even though Yuki had disguised herself as she was now.

Yuki's disguise will not be able to lie to Prince Sera. He knows it. Prince Sera knows Yuki well enough more than Yuki knows herself. It was highly unlikely that Yuki could fool Prince Sera just like that.

When they were only one step away. Yuki stopped and looked at Prince Sera sadly. It is clear that the heavy burden is borne by Prince Sera from the look on his face. Yuki felt very guilty about it. 

Prince Sera had been enduring the pressure placed on him. And all that pressure is because of Yuki. Because he hasn't shown himself in Garduete.

Yuki ventured to extend her hand and spread the hair that covered Prince Sera's face.

Yuki wishes Prince Sera could live a much better life and forget about Yuki when Yuki decides to leave her. But Prince Sera instead chooses to stop Time and remain faithful to wait for Yuki until Yuki returns. 

Prince Sera kept waiting for Yuki patiently. Without getting tired, never turn away or give up. 

"Actually what kind of love does the Prince have. What are you made of ?"

Yuki continued to stare at Prince Sera while continuing to ask inwardly.

Seeing Prince Sera now, Yuki got an idea to help reduce the burden of Prince Sera. He did not need to dismantle his disguise and appear in front of everyone who was waiting for him now, for everyone to know that He had come in Garduete to answer the Holy Priest's Call.

Yuki's quite showing up somewhere, in the Capital. Where there are people who still recognize it. That way they will find out that Yuki is actually already inside the Garduete Capital. But he had not yet entered the palace to report officially.

So the first thing he did was Yuki had to buy two kilos of apples for Curly.

"I want a sweet and red one" Curly said happily to Yuki's ears.

 

Prince Sera woke up when Chief Guard Gererou shook his body, the day was past lunch. 

"Sorry to wake the Prince up, but it would be better if the Prince could eat something before today's meeting" Warrior Chief Gererou said slowly.

"You're right, thanks for waking me up"

Prince Sera rubbed his still sleepy face. He was about to stand up, but his movements came to a halt when the sound of jewelry clattering fell from his body.

When He saw the bracelet, He instantly fell silent. 

 He recognized the jewelry. It was the bracelet Magitha gave Yuki when they were at the beach on their honeymoon. Yuki likes the bracelet, but due to being too big on her wrist, Yuki does not wear it and decides to fix it when they have arrived in Argueda.

"Gather all the warrior heads in my room now" Prince Sera said quickly.

 

 

Lekky's gone somewhere before lunch. Yuki suspects He is now having fun with his girlfriend whom He met at the entertainment venue last night.

Curly sat quietly on the bed and ate her apple. Yuki successfully barks Curly with two kilos of fresh red apples, in order for Curly to be willing to help Yuki to carry out the mission that He had planned today.

Yuki finished wearing the maid outfit Curly had stolen from the royal wardrobe. She rolled her hair up. No longer wear the veil and shawl that He used to use in disguise. Wearing thin makeup on the face just to make it look fresh. 

"Even if you look like that, people still won't believe you're a waitress" Curly said as she tossed the remaining third apple in the garbage basket.

"Isn't it your job to help me get into the Queen Mother's room without being discovered. Remember, you've earned more than I should" Yuki said, pointing to the apple bag next to Curly.

"One more kilo and I'll help you to the end" Curly bargained cunningly.

"Don't get greedy. Lekky's gonna scold us just because you're gaining weight" 

"Why do you always use Lekky's name to threaten me"

"I'm just reminding you"

Yuki stand. He was ready. He accidentally touched his wrist. Yuki's favorite bracelet went missing this afternoon somewhere. He's been looking for her everywhere but still can't find her. In the past the hook was damaged, Yuki had not been able to fix it properly. Today he remembers still wearing it while washing clothes. But as soon as He had lunch, He already did not find the bracelet in his hand.

Curly grumbling. 

Yuki again noticed her appearance in the mirror. After being quite sure, He approached Curly who was engrossed in gnawing at her fourth apple.

"Already, Let's go" Yuki asked Curly.

Curly did not answer. He just shook his ears and jumped towards Yuki. Instead of being hit by Curly's body, Yuki actually felt a gust of wind that was quite strong. When he opened his eyes he was already on Curly's enlarged body, as big as a polar bear. They flew over the roof of the highest building of the school. Continuing to creep up, towards the royal palace of Garduete. 

 

The smell of incense stung sharply in the room. The old maids just came out of the Queen Mother's room. There was only Mother Jaena who faithfully accompanied the Queen Mother in the room. Yuki manages to sneak inside the room thanks to Curly's help. After ensuring safe conditions. Slowly Yuki stepped out. Approaching the bed where the Queen Mother lay with Jaena's mother beside her.

"You..." Jaena's mother looked surprised when she saw Yuki's arrival. Yuki nodded his head slowly.

"How is he doing ?" Ask Yuki lirih.

Yuki looked at the Queen Mother with a sad look. Stunned at the sight of the Queen Mother's current condition. His entire body contained only the skin that coated his bones.
