Morning Dew's

"I will make your mind only filled by me" Prince Sera continued to kiss Yuki on the neck. 

"Prince.can you promise me one thing.."

Prince Sera saw a serious tone in Yuki's words. So He stopped to look at Yuki. 

"In the battle that is to come, promise me. You'll come back safely. Can the Prince do that for me ?"

Prince Sera smiled. He kissed Yuki's forehead gently.

"Whatever happens in the future, no matter how long I have to wait or how far we are. I will come back to you Yuki" whispered Prince Sera making Yuki feel relieved. Prince Sera draped Yuki's hand to her neck and went back to Yuki.

He kissed Yuki's lips feeling.

 

 

Today Yuki is going to the temple to do a prayer. The culmination of the Jaban celebration will soon be held. Throughout the city, celebratory trinkets began to adorn every street corner.

Before praying, Yuki had finished cleaning Lekky's room and washed all her clothes. Lekky is not happy if someone else comes and touches his belongings. So Yuki cleaned everything herself. Prince Sera did not ban Yuki. Letting Yuki do her habit all this time even though Yuki has returned to being a Princess.

Yuki had already told about Lekky's condition, especially after he was left by his wife. Although Prince Sera did little to solve Lekky's problems, Lekky was wrong to disturb other people's households and kill all the inhabitants of the Old Nobles in Argueda. But Prince Sera understood and allowed Yuki to continue accompanying Lekky.

Now Yuki is wearing a jeweled earring containing the soul of Lekky's wife in her left ear. Lekky wears her other partner in her right ear. Yuki deliberately asks Lekky's earrings as a guarantee to Yuki, that Lekky will stay alive and return to her wherever Lekky will be.

Yuki washes her clothes in the backyard with Curly's help.

After washing clothes and drying clothes. Yuki held up the empty basket. In the sky the air is quite bright. Yuki is optimistic that rain will not fall for the next few days. 

Curly was on his shoulders. Eating an apple that Prince Sera gave him before Prince Sera went to a meeting.

They walked quietly, down the road to return to Prince Sera's room at the school.

Prince Sera has not finished his meeting. If he did, he would have contacted Yuki. Lekky's been gone nowhere since morning. While the other Darmount family was busy with the task given to them.

Yuki's hungry. He would immediately go back into the room and ask for something to eat. Actually, the noble Voldermont had just contacted him to take Yuki to lunch together. But Yuki refused for various reasons.

Yuki had been feeling unwell since morning. Maybe because of the erratic weather coupled with the burden of mind that must be borne by Yuki. He made his health a little disturbed. So Yuki decided it was better to stay in the room and wait for Prince Sera or Lekky to return.

 

On the way back, Yuki was stunned when she saw a grandmother in the middle of a fish pond located in the garden behind the Basmana building. The place he passed by was very quiet and rarely passed by people. The grandmother was bowing in the middle of the pond, one hand tightly gripping the stick that helped her to stand, while the other hand stirred the water in front of her.

It was as if he was looking for something. 

There was sadness on his face.

 

"What's he doing there Curly ?" Ask Yuki in your heart.

Curly, who removed her figure and leaned on Yuki's shoulder, looked up for a moment to look at the person Yuki was referring to.

"She was looking for her wedding ring that her foster son had just thrown into the pool"

"What ?. Why ?" Yuki asked in surprise.

"When he got word that his daughter was going to marry a warlord from the land of Garduete, the grandmother came from the village to meet her son. She wanted to give her wedding ring so that it could be used for dowry according to the traditions of this country. But because of shame if his life is known to the crowd, his daughter actually refused and immediately drove the Grandma away. He also threw the wedding ring he gave into the pool. It was the only treasure Grandma had"

"What a relief"

"Indeed. The name of man is the most despicable creature, they are completely ungrateful and greedy. That's why I don't trust anyone but Mr. Lekky"

"I always give you food that Lekky won't give you" Yuki said softly.

"Alright, besides you and Mr. Lekky. I don't trust anyone else" Curly went back to eating her apples. "Granny's love, she took care of and raised the baby she found in the woods like a child of her own. But when he grew up, the child did not even know himself and actually made it difficult. He sold all of Grandma's land to go here and live a life of luxury without thinking about her mother's fate"

"Let's help him. I'll buy you two kilos of fresh apples if we manage to find the ring" Yuki quickly asked. Yuki placed her laundry basket on the edge of the pool and without hesitation went straight into the pool. He was very surprised, although this fish pond was shallow but the water was very cold. For a moment Yuki was already shivering in the cold. 

Carefully step in so as not to slip down. Yuki walks over to Grandma who is still bending over to look for her wedding ring. He was completely unaware of Yuki's presence nearby.

 

 

Her clothes were made of ordinary cotton cloth, which was filled with patches. There was a clear grate of sadness on his face. There were still tears in the corner of her eyes as Yuki approached and gently patted the grandmother's shoulder.

 

 

Marple's grandmother, surprised and immediately turned to see who was nearby. His hope was instantly dashed when he realized the girl who was nearby was not the child he expected to come. The girl in front of him was very beautiful. Her skin is pure white with a charming face. It makes anyone not bored when they look at it.

 

"Grandmother..what is Grandma doing here ?" Yuki asked pretending not to understand. 

Grandma Marple was startled and then said in a trembling voice holding back the cold and the feeling. "I'm sorry, son, I'm just looking for my ring that fell in the pool. Please do not report me to your master. I promise after I find her, I'll get out of here"

Yuki. Marple's grandmother apparently thought Yuki was a servant. Yuki didn't blame anyone if Grandma Marple thought so.

Yuki was wearing only ordinary cloth clothes, with a little thin make-up on her face and without wearing any embellishment other than one earring on her left ear and a wedding ring on her ring finger. It's not funny after all that Yuki dressed up as a Royal Princess just to wash clothes in the back well of the school.

"I won't tell anyone" Yuki said sincerely. "But it's very cold here. Grandma's body was trembling like this. Better Grandma pull over and let me help you find your ring"
