"Yuki open your eyes" Prince Riana ordered when they were already above the sky. Yuki shook her head in refusal. Yuki had thought that riding Radolft was like boarding a regular airplane, in fact, he was like riding a jet coaster. Yuki did not dare to open her eyes, and simply hugged Prince Riana tightly.

"No way" Yuki refused as she tightened her arms around Prince Riana's waist.

"Open your eyes !" Prince Riana's orders were again more firmly.

Yuki felt doubtful, but He still obeyed Prince Riana in the end. Slowly he opened his eyes.

"Wuuuuaaahhhh" Seru Yuki was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

The green forest expanse is right below it, united with the orange color that spread in the sky signifies the day will change. The sun will move into its contest replaced by the moon that illuminates the sky.

Circular, winding rivers form beautiful curves that adorn the forest beneath them. Yuki was fascinated with the beauty before her eyes. His eyes sparkled with pleasure. He had forgotten his fear.

"A very beautiful view, thank you Radolft for giving me the opportunity to see it" Yuki said sincerely.

Radolft puffed up to answer Yuki's question, as if he understood human language.

"You're just thanking Radolft ?" Prince Riana asked Yuki.

Yuki turned away while smiling cheerfully. "I also thank the Prince for helping me back"

"I'll take your service back"

Prince Riana without warning pulled Yuki over and immediately kissed Yuki. Yuki was surprised, He did not expect Prince Riana to kiss him when They were on top of the flying dragon. The kiss this time was so demanding and hot. Yuki could barely breathe because of it.

Prince Riana continued to kiss Yuki, making Yuki lose focus. Yuki's two hands were directed around Prince Riana's neck.

The prince continued to kiss Yuki without giving a pause to think.

Radolft manages to bring Prince Riana and Yuki safely. By morning, they had arrived at the palace grounds of Prince Riana. Yuki is very tired, but she is grateful to be back. The trip, which took several days with Prince Sera, became a few hours by riding Radolft.

Rena helps Yuki to shower and change clothes. Yuki was actually very sleepy and tired. But the King gave the order to immediately go to the King's palace. So He tried to defend and fight his drowsiness.

Prince Riana came right when Yuki finished dressing up. Prince Riana had already changed clothes and cleaned herself up. They then drove a horse-drawn carriage to the palace.

King Bardana is with the Ministers to discuss the ongoing case when the Guards announce the arrival of Prince Riana and Yuki. He was greatly relieved when he finally saw Yuki in front of him.

Yuki was led to pay his respects. Obviously, he was holding back the sleepiness. Several times Yuki yawned.

Prince Riana walked over and sat down in his place. Yuki in living a dori in the middle of the hall. In the presence of the King and the officials who were waiting. It felt like Yuki could instantly fall asleep as soon as she laid her head on the carpet she was currently on.

He was eager to do so if he did not remember there was King Bardana in front of him watching him.

In front of the State Officials Yuki felt like a sick person waiting for a verdict.

"Daughter Yuki, I know you're very tired after a long journey and need a break. But, there are some questions I should ask you right away. I hope you will answer it well" the King said with dignity.

Yuki bowed her head respectfully. He understood the meaning of King Bardana.

Yuki had expected King Bardana to ask this. So while on the way to the palace he had already thought of the answer.

Yuki bowed his head back respectfully before He answered King Bardana's question. "To the knowledge of the servant and from what Prince Sera himself told the Servant, not His Majesty"

"So what reason did Sera bring you to her country ?" Demand King Bardana be dissatisfied.

Yuki looked at King Bardana for a moment full of doubt. He was worried whether to tell the truth or not. Moreover, there was Prince Riana in the hall. Prince Riana will be very angry if she hears the reality that Yuki will tell her. But, If Yuki is lying and in the end King Bardana knows Yuki's lie. Yuki could not imagine what punishment he could receive for daring to give false information to the kingdom.

Yuki feels like he is eating simalakama fruit. He doesn't know which one to choose.

"For what was told to the servant, Prince Sera kidnapped the servant to protect His Majesty's servant"

"Protect you ?" The king looked at Yuki sharply, almost making Yuki shiver in fear. King Bardana is very authoritative if he is showing his seriousness. The nature that was ultimately passed down to Prince Riana. "What is your relationship until Sera cares so much about you ?"

Silent.

Yuki didn't know what to say. She doubted. 

Seeing Yuki's doubt, King Bardana spoke out resolutely. "This is Princess Yuki's royal court. You know the punishment for lying to the king"

Yuki gulped. He has no other choice. He was cowardly enough to accept royal punishment. Yuki once read in school, if lying to the King in the royal court, then at least the lightest is at whipping thirty times. 

Thinking about it made Yuki shiver.

"Because..." Yuki felt heavy when saying that. "Because the Servant is the Fiance of Prince Sera"

A second when Yuki was done saying it. The atmosphere turned gripping silent. Yuki did not like the atmosphere that was going on. He wanted to disappear from this place as soon as possible.

The whispers began to sound. The Ministers' faces became tense. Yuki did not dare to look up to see Prince Riana's expression. He's too cowardly to do it.

"Tell Princess Yuki" the King's orders were firm. His tone was even sharper than before.

"Actually, the Servant also just learned about this matter Your Majesty" Yuki replied kelu. 

Yuki told me everything at the trial. He hoped that after telling this, Prince Riana would understand and not blame him.

He told the royal court about his suspicion of Prince Sera's attitude, especially when Prince Sera learned of his birthday and the gifts he had wanted.

How Yuki was kidnapped from Prince Riana's resting room.

Yuki's conversation with Prince Sera and anything in nature until you meet back with Prince Riana. But Yuki did not tell when Prince Sera kissed her. Prince Riana will kill him if it leaks into his ear.

Yuki shows the necklace given by Princess Ransah which is a symbol of the agreement with the kingdom of Argueda to King Bardana.

Prince Riana's eyes narrowed to form a line when He saw the necklace in Yuki's hand. Hurriedly Yuki got in the way with her free palm to keep Prince Riana from seeing him.

If she gets to Prince Riana's palace later, Yuki will hide the necklace. She would not let Prince Riana throw it away because the necklace was a relic of her mother.
