Morning Dew's

When Radolft landed on the ground. The front door of the house was open hard. Ferlay ran out barefoot. Approaching Yuki quickly with her small legs.

His face sparkled happily with a tinge of red hue on his round cheeks.

"Mamaa..." Call Ferlay happy. His smile is wide makes Yuki always miss Ferlay especially if He sees a child the same age as Ferlay.

Yuki spread her arms wide and welcomed Ferlay who leaped cheerfully into her arms. "Finally Mama came home, I miss Mama"

"Mama missed you too. How are you doing ?. Are you healthy ?"

"Yes Mama"

Yuki smelled at Ferlay's cheek. As if by inhaling the aroma of Ferlay makes a sense of fatigue that is felt missing from his body.

"Mama ?" Asked Nobility Voldermont while raising one side of his eyebrows at Yuki. Demanding Yuki's answer.

"He's my son" said Yuki quickly.

Specifically Ferlay is very similar to Yuki. Her hair and eyes were ground brown like Yuki's. Many people think Yuki is Ferlay's mother. Yuki deliberately asked Ferlay to call him Mama. Yuki hopes that He can replace the emptiness that was in Ferlay's heart due to his mother's death.

 

George, the Head of the Lekky Darmount Household walks with steady steps. Approaching Yuki. He bowed to pay respect to Yuki and the others.

"Miss, you've arrived, I've prepared a room for the guests"

"Thank you, has Lekky not come yet ?"

"Mr Lekky simply told me to wait until He came"

Men's servants came to help bring down the goods and took Coracal to be brought to his cage. Prince Riana rubbed Radolft's cheeks slowly, her eyes straight at Radolft. As if he was communicating with her, a subtle snoring from Radolft's body sounded. Like a cat.

 

"We have prepared a meal and a cage for the Dragon Prince" George said.

Prince Riana is back in touch with Radolft. Radolft obediently followed a servant who would lead him to his resting place.

 

After that, George walked beside Yuki who was holding Ferlay. George had already prevented Ferlay when he reached out to ask Yuki to hold him. Yuki is pregnant. But Yuki assures George that He's okay. Everything goes into the building.

As Yuki entered, the smell of cake spread into the room.

"Marple's grandmother was making Pie" George explained.

Before long, Grandma Marple came out while pushing an iron carriage filled with cakes and tea stacked on a tray.

She looked much healthier than the last Yuki saw her. Lekky took good care of it.

"Hamba has prepared food for the Prince and the others. Do the Prince and Lord Nobles want to rest and bathe first or eat right away ?" Bargain Grandma Marple politely.

"Ferlay, let's say hello to Mama's friends" Yuki said gently as she lowered Ferlay from her sling. He sat down on the sofa and immediately bit down on the Apple Pie that Grandma Marple had put on the table. The warm tea and pie make it much more focused than before.

Ferlay bowed his head respectfully in the typical style of a child.

"I'll take a shower first" Yuki said after She was quite comfortable. 

"Mama I haven't had a shower either" Ferlay said sulking.

"Really ?!"

"Can I shower with my mom"

"Can...Come with Mama to the room. Mama wants to hear how your school is"

Yuki's holding Ferlay. Go up to the second floor and leave the rest to Grandma Marple and George.

 

 

"What if I bathe you too ?" Ask Prince Riana.

"Don't come near me. I don't need a man like you" Voldermont said, full of threats. 

 

Yuki decides to have dinner in Ferlay's room while accompanying Ferlay to study. He was very proud of Ferlay's clever achievements and quickly understood what he was taught.

After they have dinner, Yuki helps Ferlay change clothes and put Ferlay to sleep by telling him a fairy tale. He also answered some of Ferlay's questions regarding interesting matters during Yuki's time at Garduete.

 

Outside the lightning struck. It rained quite hard. The storm came unexpectedly. Yuki hid her anxiety when she found out Lekky had not come even though it was already night. 

After making sure Ferlay's asleep. Yuki turned off the lights and tiptoed out of the room. However, how surprised Yuki was when she found Prince Riana already standing in front of the room. He's been there long enough. Just silently looked at Yuki and Ferlay from a distance.

 

"What's up ?" Ask Yuki slowly not to wake Ferlay up. 

"I'm asking myself. How does it feel to have a mother ?. Will He do the same as you do ?. Bathe her when the afternoon comes. Bribed it while asking the things he passed by. Accompany him to learn and tell stories while he sleeps ?"

Yuki came to a realization when she heard Prince Riana's question. It seemed that Prince Riana had been paying attention to Yuki and Ferlay ever since. During his life, Prince Riana never gained the affection of a mother. He lived and was raised by the king's servants and concubines.

 

Prince Riana had to be very careful in her life. Like walking on a thin layer of ice. Once he steps in wrong, it will endanger his life. 

I don't know how many people have tried to put their lives at risk. Trying to use it for their benefit. Friendship with Nobles is so strong, he did not get it in one or two years of introduction. It took a long process to make Prince Riana trust them.

 

"Ferlay is the son of Lekky's marriage to Camila. The prince must have heard the story of Lekky and the Old Noble Argueda. When I first met Ferlay, he was very small. He was about three years old at that time. However, when I saw her I immediately swore, She will always get the affection of a Mother from me" Yuki said softly so as not to wake Ferlay in his room.

"Why ?"

"I've lived without a father. The prince also knows what it's like to live without a mother. I don't want Ferlay to feel what I've been through. He's a very wonderful boy. So understanding and steadfast"

"Then, what about our son ?" Prince Riana asked suddenly. Makes Yuki speechless.

Yuki looked up and clashed with Prince Riana who looked at him seriously.

"Are you going to let our child feel the same feelings we've ever felt. Life without complete parents ?"

Yuki turned. Avoiding Prince Riana's gaze at him. He scratched his non-itchy arm. Trying to hide his feelings.

Prince Riana's gaze seemed to penetrate deep into the depths of Yuki's heart.

 

"It's late, good night" said Yuki ignoring Prince Riana's question. Without waiting for a response, Yuki immediately walked over quickly. Leaving Prince Riana. 

Prince Riana still stood quietly in his place. Looking at Ferlay sleeping on the bed from the doorway that Yuki had left open.

 

 

A very difficult question Yuki answered. In the depths of Yuki's heart, she doesn't want her son to be the victim of her selfishness. But on the other hand, Yuki could not take Prince Sera for granted.

 

Prince Riana had made such a difficult choice for him.
