"All his irritating attitude, the reason He had not been willing to touch any woman all this time was for this" the nobleman Voldermont patted gently on Yuki's stomach. "The only way to gain royal support is to restore your position as a future queen by making you pregnant before Riana has a child with another woman"

 

The nobleman Voldermont again drank the tea in his cup.

"He knew that if you were pregnant with the child of the next regent, the amara stone would shine again and the kingdom could not refuse to help him take you back. Riana also knew the risks of what would happen afterwards. So during the great battle with the kingdom of Romawa, he focused on winning the battle in order to have a balanced strength in case of a battle between the kingdom of Garduete and Argueda. Even her engagement to Marsha aside from outwitting Us, also as a means to lure you out of your hiding place"

 

"I ?"

"If Riana wasn't married or engaged to another woman, would you go back to Garduete ?"

Yuki's stunned.

If He knew Prince Riana was the same as Prince Sera back then, Yuki would have thought a thousand times to return. Feeling that Prince Riana already has no feelings for him, Yuki can only dare to return to Garduete.

 

"It's wrong, you know this is all wrong" Yuki said sadly.

 

"Riana doesn't care if this is Yuki's right or wrong. All he knows is you have to go back with him. She doesn't even care if you've been happy with your marriage or if you love Sera more now than she does. He doesn't care about any of that"

Yuki lowered her head even more sadly. Twist the spoon inside his cup with a helpless look.

"Riana never changes, she still loves you Yuki even if the truth that happened five years ago is not revealed. He never forgot you in his entire life. You can believe it or not, but I'm very confident in what I see. After you split up five years ago, Riana changed almost beyond recognition. Although from the outside Riana looks unchanged, but for me who has been living and growing up with her, feel the change. He's like life but he's not really alive. Soul's empty. When you came back, slowly I saw him come back like the man I've known. His emotions came back. And unfortunately, your brother actually took advantage of the situation by continuing to look for trouble with him. Lekky, he's your brother, isn't he ?"

Yuki nodded her head.

"We're brothers of one father to another mother. Lekky was the son of the father's lover before he met Mama" Yuki explained.

"With the ability to read the thoughts that belong to him, he often provokes emotions especially Riana related to you. Lekky deliberately heated up Riana and made her jealous of your togetherness"

"Lekky can be very annoying sometimes. But trust me, he's actually very good"

"Well what, you were there when He plucked people's hearts out with his bare hands. How could any human being kill a person with a face without expression like Him" the Noble Voldermont grumbled as he shuddered. Reimagining how Lekky ended the life of Warlord Jaibar with his hands. The noble Voldermont flicked his hand in annoyance. She then leaned back on Yuki. "Back to the matter, Riana became her old self again when you returned. Can you understand this Yuki ?"

Yuki. Looked at his own mind. Knowing this makes it even harder.

 

What should he do ?. Yuki did not understand at all. He has no direction. Just walk in his path. Yuki has no desire to be with either of the two Princes, remembering that he will soon die. She only wanted to be able to give birth to her child safely before she had to sacrifice herself.

 

"What are you guys doing here ?" 

The two people who were sitting quietly with their minds turned around and found Prince Riana had already walked quietly closer.

 

Yuki glanced at the window. Rainwater slapped the window glass hard. Lekky hasn't told me anything yet. Yuki couldn't reach her. Lekky has advised Yuki not to contact her and leave the house, until Lekky himself arrives or contacts Yuki.

Prince Riana shifted the chair beside Yuki and sat close enough to Yuki until their shoulders barely touched.

"Do you want tea ?" Tawar Yuki without looking at Prince Riana. Due to the explanation of the Nobles of Voldermont, Yuki was hesitant to see the face of Prince Riana directly.

"Yes" 

Yuki shuffled up to pick up the empty cup. Deliberately shifted his seat slightly away from Prince Riana. He sat quietly next to Prince Riana.

"What are we going to do tomorrow ?" Noble Voldermont asked Prince Riana.

"none. We will temporarily settle here waiting for Lekky" Prince Riana turned to look at Yuki who was still avoiding her gaze. "Is there no news at all ?" Prince Riana asked Yuki.

Yuki shook his head lightly.

 

"No problem. We can rest here longer. Don't worry Yuki, Lekky won't die so easily. He will surely come sooner or later" comforted the nobleman of Voldermont quickly. The nobleman Voldermont yawned wide. "Because there's You, I'll go back to the room" Nobles Voldermont told Prince Riana again.

 

The nobleman Voldermont got up from his seat and walked out of the kitchen. He heard his footsteps as he went up the stairs and followed the door that was opened and then closed.

 

"I will also rest" Yuki said trying to escape the awkward atmosphere that enveloped the two.

The conversation with the Nobles of Voldermont affected Yuki's mood. He did not know whether he was happy or sad when he found out the truth.

 

Prince Riana did not answer. He just kept quiet and followed Yuki from behind towards Yuki's room located at the end of the hall. Close to Ferlay's room.

"Go back to your room. I'm not going anywhere" Yuki said trying to subtly banish Prince Riana.

"Is there a problem if I'm in your room ?" Prince Riana asked back.

Yuki opened her mouth to protest. But he did not do it. He recalled the words of the nobleman Voldermont. So Yuki let Prince Riana into her room. That way Yuki hoped, after Prince Riana checked into his room and found nothing. Prince Riana immediately left the room without any unnecessary commotion.

 

 

Yuki's room wasn't as spacious as Prince Riana's room in the palace. In fact, it was not as spacious as his room at the residence of Prime Minister Olwrendho. There is a small bed that is usually used by one person on the east side. Opposite him was a bookcase close to the window and a long sofa in the middle of the room. The fireplace is located in the corner of the room. 

There is a glass door that meets the length of the wall in the south section which is directly connected to the balcony of the room. Yuki really likes the view seen during the day. His vegetable garden is clearly visible from his room against the background of the river flowing underneath.

Photos are neatly attached to the wall near the head of the bed. George had arranged a lavender flower arrangement in a vase and placed it onto a small table beside Yuki's bed. The smell was soothing.

The atmosphere of the room is made by symbolizing the typical cheerfulness of Yuki.
