Morning Dew's

"Who's that noble" I asked Elber. We had lunch together in the dining room of the Kuldhi building. Elber took me out to eat with her group. Some nobles tried to talk to me. I answered as little as possible and avoided. My mind was fixed on the incident earlier.

Elber frowned. "Who?" askalanya.

"The nobleman who fell down the corridor earlier"

"Gosh, why are you so curious about her ?"

I played my finger. "Just curious"

"So many nobles you meet, you are attracted to the damned" grumbled Elber.

Dalto Radit or commonly called the Dalto Nobles, is the son of an old family full of mystery in this country. She's an orphan, her mother and father are criminals who were sentenced to behead 13 years ago for locking a temple from the outside and burning everyone inside until there's nothing left. She actually had an aunt, but because of the incident, her aunt decided to take her to another country. For some reason, five years ago the Dalto Nobles returned alone.His aunt had picked up several times but He still returned. He went to school and immediately received daily bullies and torture from students whose families were victims. There is even a presumption that being friends with him will get bad luck. He is called the damned.

Is that why he didn't want to give his name back then ?. Now I get it.

I understand what it's like to accept a punishment that we don't even do. Back when I was Junior High, I was bullied. Every day my books, bags and shoes are gone. I found it in the arson. Raymond always stood up for me, but it made me even more hated by the girls who liked him. Several times I went home, with a wounded body or a dirty uniform for playing with them. I remember, I used to keep my uniform near my house and replace it so that Mama would not know my condition.

Trivial thing at that time, a married man, opposite Mama in a movie chasing Mama. but Mama never mengubris. His wife who did not accept made big news as if Mama were a seductive. One of her children went to school with me. He was the provocateur to bully me and stay away from me.

in the end, I couldn't hide what I was going through. Mama found me going into a public toilet near the house to change my uniform. Tomorrow Mama makes a press conference and reveals the slander that befell her and strong evidence that Mama is innocent. He also took the husband and wife to the police. Mama went to the principal to report the bullying I was having.

After that, peace returned to my life. But the bulying wounds are still imprinting until now.

I was just about to feed the rice into my mouth when I heard the sound of clanging dishes followed by a loud thudding. In the middle of the room, Duke Dalto fell, his food wetting his body. He was back in bullying by the same group. I looked around, some pretended not to care, some felt pity but did not dare to help and some laughed at him. I stared at the Dalto nobleman, remembering when I was once in his position now. So the ingredients of ridicule and laughter.

"Damn it, you made my dress dirty" cried a princess whose heart was not as pretty as her face. The princess kicked the plate of the Dalto Nobles towards the rugged Dalto Nobles.

"I've warned you not to put your nose on when I eat. You think seeing you I'd be happy huh!!" exclaim the fat nobility who always bullied the Dalto-Lord Doldores Nobles. The Doldores nobleman raised the collar of the Dalto nobleman to his feet and then pushed him backwards.The Dalto nobleman clenched his hands, restraining his emotions. "You want to fight me, oh look at the expression....He's gonna kill us like his parents did"

"Haraam boy" Another nobleman threw the Dalto nobleman with a bowl filled with food sauce. The bowl had dyed the hair of the Dalto nobleman. Jeers and exclamations of joy rose up in the hall. I can't take it anymore.

"Hey..Yuva ...Where are you going ?" ask Elber when I stand up. But I don't care anymore. I walked towards the Dalto Nobles.

"Are you okay" all fell silent. Nobles Dalto looked at me in shock. I brushed off the dirt that was still stuck in her lockup.

"Who are you, how dare you help her. Do you not know who she is" exclaimed the daughter I recognized in class with me in music-class Princess Norah. I looked at Princess Norah, She glared at me in such a way that I was afraid her eyeballs would come out.

"I know" I said flatly. "The damned"

"If you know why you're still helping her" said Princess Norah.

"I have no reason why I should ignore him like the others ?" lantam.

Plakk !!.

A hard slap landed on my cheek. A pair of hands pulled me back. The noble Dalto protected me with his body. "How dare you talk to me like that, you don't know who I am"

Princess Norah was the son of King Bardana's third lover. She was quite beautiful, yet affectionately had an arrogant grin. Behind Princess Norah her noble friends are ready to attack us.

"What is this" a voice eased the tension. I was shocked when I saw the figure of the man entering the room, the entire disciples immediately paid their respects. The Dalto nobleman pulled me to my knees.

I knew the man, he was the one who brought me here. I remember once with his black hair that gave off a grayish-blue tinge when exposed to the sunlight and his icy eyes. I can't be wrong, he's like a cold, mysterious moon. Someone who is arrogant, sadistic and not approachable.

So he was Prince Riana who was told that. Prince Riana came with his entourage. A high priest as well as his personal bodyguard-Preta Serfa who was currently wearing a priest's robe, his hair was long up to his waist in snow-white. Then there were three nobles who were his best friends since childhood. The nobleman Voldermon was the most handsome noble in the country, but it was a pity that he realized that and used it well to get a woman who was not uncommon, only to be bedded. The nobleman Voldermon was the son of the king's younger brother who married the prince of a friendly land. The nobleman of Xasfir was the son of an old family in this country, for generations his family always held the position of a respected royal warlord. The Xasfir Nobles body was tall, stocky, had perfect protruding muscles. Prince Riana was also burly but covered by her clothes, while Nobles Xasfir, although he had tried to cover it, had his muscle muscles clearly imprinted behind his clothes. The last one is the noble Arsy. It is said that his family is a scholar who is trusted by the king to help in running the wheels of the country's economy. His body is slim and with dimples on both cheeks, making him pleasing to the eye especially when smiling. He's the smartest nobleman in school.

The prince looked at us one by one. I was stared at like that by him. His dominance was so strong just from his gaze.

"What's going on here" asked Duke Voldermon. "Hey why are your clothes like that" Noble Voldermon walked up to me as if recognizing. Without a kick He touched my chin. He raised to look at her. "Aren't you the daughter of the Olwrendho family, my God, you're beautiful"

From the corner of the eye, I saw a princess behind Princess Norah snorting in annoyance. I hid behind the arms of the Dalto nobleman. "Riana, why didn't you tell me that the girl you brought the other day was very pretty" the Noble Voldemon protested to Prince Riana.

The prince looked at me for a moment. "What's in it I'm telling you"

"Then you agree that She is very beautiful" the noble Voldermon did not want to lose.

"She's still Vold's little girl" said Prince Riana again lazily.

"I think I should invite you to eat the tomb if you're willing to" said Nobles Voldermon without regard for Prince Riana.

"No thanks," I refused. I tightly gripped the arm of the Dalto Royal Highness, Uncomfortable with this kind of situation.

"You have not answered what is going on here" asked the Prince again to create a tense atmosphere.

"There's nothing what big sister.it's just a misunderstanding" Princess Norah squandered spoiled towards Prince Riana.

"Let go of your hand" said the Prince coldly.

"sister"

"If you love your hand, let go now"

Princess Norah let go of her hand half-ashamed of the Prince's response. "Sorry Prince, I beg your permission to leave" Nobles Dalto bowed in reverence and then left. I clasped his arms strong, afraid he would come off.

"Princess Yuki" The nobleman Voldermon called out to me when we arrived at the exit. I turned.

"I was serious about dinner last night"

I turned the eyeball in response and immediately left.

We sat on the edge of the pool, in a fairly hidden back garden. I rubbed my cheek. From the shadow of the water I can see the reddish color of the slap of princess Norah.

The power is strong. God fucking.

The Dalto nobleman sat quietly. He looked at me with an elusive look. I took a handkerchief out of my pocket. Wetch it with water. "It's cleaning your clothes" I said as I held out a handkerchief to her. He remained silent not flinching. I waited for him for a while.

"Why do you defend me, don't you know that I am the damned"

"I know"

"If you know, then why do you keep doing it" he said in a tone up one level.

"Because I don't care" I replied quite loudly.Boy Dalto fell silent. "There are no really good or really evil people in this world.All have their own portion." continued me again. "Just because your parents made a mistake, I don't have the right to judge you that I understand"

The noble Dalto suddenly lowered his head while laughing bitterly. He covered his face with both hands. I know how it feels to be him.

"I want to be your friend" I said at last.

"Nobody wants to be friends with me"

"I want to"

"You'll have a lot of hard things to do if you're desperate to do it"

"Yes, but as a friend I'm sure you'll help me through it"

"I'm the damned"

"And I'm an outcast girl"

The Dalto nobleman smiled. "I warned you Princess"

"So, are we friends"

The Dalto nobleman reached out. I shook his hand happily. "I assume you agree"

The noble Dalto patted the spot beside him. "Sit down, I'll compress your cheeks. Your face is awful. What would the Prime Minister think if I saw you like this on your first day" I sat down. Duke Dalto took my handkerchief.

"You're also more terrible than me....Aduhhhh aduhh.sak ..pelan slowly" The Dalto nobleman had already attached a handkerchief to my cheek. I complain.

"Shut up" Uiar Dalto's nobility when I want to rebel.

"The princess should learn a lesson someday" I said annoyed.

"He's the King's son, you can be beheaded if you touch him"

"Good support friend" I snorted. The Dalto nobleman laughed. I also laughed.

Dad's reaction wasn't so frantic when he saw me coming home with a bruised cheek. In contrast to Rena, she kept nagging all day. "Princess is a noble princess.The face and body of the princess are important assets.Should the princess keep properly. Not like this" Rena grumbled as she helped me do my hair.

Since that day I have been with the Dalto Nobles more often. Both at school and at home. He helped me a lot to learn so I could catch up. Often I was invited to the city, He introduced me to a fun place to visit as well as culinary tours like ordinary people. One thing I know about Dalto's nobility is that he loves roses and is good at breeding and caring for them. The Dalto nobility had a secret cottage in the forest behind the school that was quite hidden. In the area of the cottage he made a rose garden arranged in such a way. There are different types and colors. Beside the cottage there is a small river whose water is very clear. I often noticed small fish swimming, hiding behind a small rock in disguise. For some reason, the atmosphere in this cottage makes me feel at home. I can hold for hours here waiting for Duke Dalto to take care of the roses. For him, the rose is important because it is the favorite flower of his father and mother. It was the only memory he remembered from both his parents.

"Yuki, today after school you don't go anywhere" Dad said as we were having breakfast together. "The king wants to see you. He's having a banquet to greet you"

"The king wants to see me ?" I said I couldn't believe it. "Why ?"

"Your mother and the King used to be best friends. The king wants to meet the daughter of his best friend and welcome his return"

"Alright, I understand Dad"

Dad rubbed my hair happy.

"Today will you come to my welcome ceremony" I asked the Dalto nobleman as I accompanied him in the rose-hut.

Dalto's nobility bent over, busy filling plastic bags with fertilizer. She smiled seductively. "I'll go if you dress up pretty"

I immediately scowled. "You told me to wear a royal princess-style clown suit"

The Dalto nobleman chuckled. He patted his hand throwing away the remaining dirt that was stuck. "Please get me the knife" pointed Dalto's nobleman at the knife beside me, close to the pile of freshly harvested roses.

"Oh" for not being careful, my finger was pierced by a rose thorn. I bit my bleeding finger and sucked it.

"You're okay" asked the Dalto noble to examine my blood-stained hand. He rubbed with his handkerchief.

"It's okay. Banya thorn rose. I wasn't careful just now. Are you done yet ?"

"Yes, let's go back" the Dalto Nobles asked as they reached out. He carried the rose he had harvested in a basket. I received a helping hand.We walked straight to the school building. Along the way many disciples saw us cynically. But I don't give a shit. No one has the right to make me friends with whom.

That night, as Father had said, he took me to the palace. I'm glad Dad picked me up. Rena from yesterday afternoon was already noisy with my preparations. I was bathed in all sorts of treatments. My nails are trimmed and colored. I also wore a lot of jewelry like a princess in general. I protested because of the amount of jewelry I wore, but this time it seems like Rena does not want to be denied.

"It's so big" I whispered to Father as I entered the palace gate. The King's Palace was huge and vast. In the garden there were many deer, rabbits and birds great-grandsons.The father led me up the stairs. The palace buildings are tall and spacious, with architecture filled with golden domes. The atmosphere of the palace is great.

I was taken to a large hall, there was a roar of guests followed by a strange silence when our names were announced. Door opens. I stepped inside my father's guide. It felt like all eyes were looking at me, making me nervous. I lowered my head, glaring at my steps so as not to get wrapped in a dress or stumble across the stone floor along the path I was walking through. It would be embarrassing if that happened. The whispers of the guests began to sound. I saw Princess Norah among the guests, looking at me dislike.

At the end of the room, the highest promulgation, the King of Bardhana - the king of the land - sat waiting. To his left is promulgated below there Prince Riana accompanied by the priest Serfa who stood faithfully beside him.

We salute the King and the Prince with a formal attitude.

"Our respect to King Bardhana, the king of this land. Our respect to Prince Riana" I imitate the words of Father I've learned along the way.

"Ransah" I was surprised when the King called my Mama's name. The king looked at me in disbelief. His voice is a little shaky.

I'm a bit disappointed to see the King, he's not like Prince Riana. His body was short, clenched with a distended stomach. Her hair was as long as a shoulder and had started to whiten. There was a deep suffering when He mentioned my Mama.

"You're Rancid" asked the King again to make me speechless. I knew what to say. Father suddenly pulled me to bow my head, paying homage back to the King.

"Include Yuki's servant daughter Orrie Olwrendho" said the father calmly.

The king blinked, waking up from his imagination. "Yuki ?" re-digesting the King in his head. The king leaned back, the tension gone. He breathed and looked at me in disbelief. "Your daughter is very similar to her mother. At first glance I almost recognized her as Princess Ransah"

"Yuki is indeed very similar to his noble mother, even his nature is almost entirely obtained from his mother"

"Right" asked the King enthusiastically. The king laughed amusedly still looking at me. "Then you must be very troublesome, considering Ransah is not an easily arranged princess"

My face flushed to hear the king slurried. The king spoke like he knew Mama very well. Naturally they are best friends.

"Sit down, Princess Yuki enjoy the banquet today. I held it specially to greet you"

"Thank you, your majesty"

My father and I sat on a bench occupied by Prince Riana. He looks indifferent. Music has been played. The waiters came in to bring food. Serfa is no longer in place. Throughout the event, Dad did not get tired of his boss taking me around to be introduced directly to his friends. There is a sense of pride when d

He calls me his daughter. Finally when the dance party I managed to break away, Dad was busy talking about work with the defense minister. I refused the invitations of some nobles who wanted to take me dancing. Sneaking out to the exit. I accidentally ran into Reverend Serfa. "I'm sorry Pastor Serfa" I said in shock.

"It's okay Princess, are you okay ?"

"Yes I'm fine"

"Then I'll excuse you first" the Reverend passed. I had just turned around when I realized there was a small piece of cloth on my leg. Reflex I'm taking. It seems to belong to priest Serfa.but, I was wobbly looking for his figure, He's gone. My views collide with the Doldores nobility. He wiped his mouth. From his movements he wanted to come up to me to ask me to dance. I'm getting out of the way. Who would dance with her.

I sat on a fairly hidden balcony. From my place the party noise sounded. The sound of music playing soft dance sign began. I'm sitting on the fence, taking off my shoes. My legs are blistering and blushing. I'm not used to wearing high shoes like this. If I had brought spare shoes.

Someone thrust out a big bunch of fresh red roses.

"You're coming" I said excitedly.

The Dalto nobleman smiled. "I told you I'd come if you dressed up pretty"

I received the flower that the Dalto Nobles offered. He has cut the thorns of roses in every stalk. I smell the flowers. Smells fun. "How did you find me here"

"I've been following you since the beginning You came, so this is how you resist the nobles, having fun like this"

"I don't accept your protest" I'm sure. "Why don't you meet me at the beginning of k

You saw me"

"I see your father is very happy to be with you. It's less fitting that I interrupt" I nodded my head in understanding.

"You don't want to dance" asked the Dalto nobleman again as a soft musical sound rang out.

I showed my feet. "They're not friendly"

"It can be arranged" the Dalto nobleman said calmly.

"I don't want to go back inside"

"Me too"

The Dalto nobleman extended his hand. He's leading me. Both of his hands hugged my ping. We were facing in a fairly close distance. My heart is pounding.I don't think I can breathe. We dance. Following the music. I dare not look at him in shame. My face must have been flushed by now.

We were just silent, there was only the sound of music and the clinking of jewelry as we moved. The noble Dalto stopped.I looked at him dumbly. He swallowed for a moment. "Sorry" he whispered.

The noble Dalto slowly brought his face closer. Time seems to be spinning slowly. However, before his lips could touch my lips, there was a gulf sound. Amaze me. My reflexes are backwards. I looked down, not daring to look at him in shame.

"Where are you Yuki ?" ask me to worry.

"I'm on the balcony of the hall, I'm going back in" I said at last.

"All right, Dad wait"

I took my flower bouquet and put my shoes back on. The Dalto nobleman sat on the fence. "You don't want to go inside ?"

"No, you come in. Don't worry the Prime Minister" I nodded my head.

Dad was waiting for me by the door. "It's evening, let's say goodbye to your majesty and go home" Father said. I nodded my head in agreement.

The king led us to the horse-drawn carriage.

He was accompanied by Prince Riana who was silent. "You must bring him to visit me often" said the King before we boarded the train. Dad looked down saluting. I got on the train followed by Dad.

When I got home, I took a shower and changed clothes. It feels very relieved to be free from the clothes of the princess who is very torturous. I wonder how the princesses can bear to use such jewelry every day. Rena just came out of the bathroom showing Pastor Serfa's small package in her hand. "What is this princess" he asked me who was reading a book in bed.

"Ah it belongs to my fallen friend.Tomorrow I will return it"

Rena gave me that package.

"If nothing is needed I'm sorry"

"Good night Rena"

"Good night Princess"

Rena walked out. Door's closed. Instead of sleeping I cradled the package in my hand.

Maybe I should check it out. Who knows this doesn't belong to Serfa, I think justifying the temptation within me to check the parcel. Who knows I was wrong.

I opened the package, peeked at the contents. It turned out to be just a pebble. "What the fuck" I took the stone and was surprised. As soon as it touched my skin, the stone shone brightly, taking out an icy blue pedar. "Wuuuaahhhh" I said stunned. I looked at the stone in admiration. But, my mind suddenly came to Prince Riana. The color of his eyes was the same as the light of this stone. I immediately lost interest in this stone. I put the stone back in the bag.The stone returned to ordinary gravel. I tied up the bag and put it in the drawer next to the bed. Not how long I've been asleep so tired.
