Morning Dew's

67

"I'll call Serfa" said Nobles Voldermont softly after Yuki had calmed down enough. He became more serious, there was no more joking tone in his voice.

Reverend Serfa arrived shortly afterwards. The four of them sat together in Prince Riana's study. Yuki told me all the dreams he had. Reverend Serfa's face turned tense, but He remained calm. He asked once or twice, then fell silent again. After Yuki told her everything, Reverend Serfa looked towards Prince Riana.

"We must meet His Majesty King Bardana to ask for his honesty, Prince" said Reverend Serfa calmly.

"What do you mean ?" Prince Riana did not understand.

"I'm sorry Prince, but for the time being only His Majesty, the person who knows the origin of Princess Yuki the most. Especially Princess Ransah. He is actually an important clue to all the events that have happened lately, including the reason the rebels are targeting Princess Yuki" explained Reverend Serfa again. 

After hearing Reverend Serfa's explanation, Prince Riana decided not to postpone it. It's still late at night. Morning is not yet coming. Prince Riana ordered the chief of the bodyguards to prepare the troops for King Bardhana's palace

King Bardana had just slept an hour ago when Prince Riana's entourage arrived. The Chief Servant woke him up cautiously. His head was dizzy from lack of sleep. But as soon as she heard Prince Riana coming with Princess Yuki, she knew something had happened. His son would never wake him if it were not an emergency.

So now He is sitting in the study room with Prince Riana, Yuki, Nobles of Voldermont and Reverend Serfa.

The waiter prepared a drink when the Asry Nobles and the Xasfir Nobles arrived. Prince Riana called them to come at the behest of King Bardhana. 

The room in use now is an enclosed space where the King usually addresses important issues with few people. No one enters after the last servant leaves the room. The Chief Servant was watching the surroundings from outside the door, to make sure no one was stealing the hearing.

King Bardhana listened attentively to Prince Riana's explanation. He did not say anything until Prince Riana ended her story.

"So that's the way it is" said King Bardhana while nodding his head in understanding.

"Your Majesty, please tell us if my suspicions are correct ?" Asked Reverend Serfa with a sense of urgency.

King Bardhana straightened his back. His attitude changed dramatically. He showed his authority as a king. Look at everyone in front of him.

"Prince Serfa, lead the Nobles who are here to perform an oath of allegiance to me without your exception"

Reverend Serfa was shocked to hear King Bardhana's orders. The Oath of Faith is a special ritual to declare loyalty to the intended. If they break, they will be tormented with a strange disease that will not be cured until their death.

For the swearing-in, He must sacrifice something in return for this covenant. King Bardana surprisingly sacrificed the remaining five years of his life to obtain the oath of allegiance from the Nobles.

Prince Riana opposed knowing what King Bardana had sacrificed, but King Bardana insisted on doing so. He looked at Prince Riana showing his affection as a father.

He was willing to sacrifice anything for the Son who was secretly always proud of him. King Bardhana never told Prince Riana how lucky she was to have a Son like Prince Riana. Reducing five years from the rest of his life is well worth it if it's for his Son. 

After the Ritual was over, everyone regrouped in the room. The king raised the teacup in front of him and drank it. Then looked straight at Yuki before finally speaking without hesitation.

"Right of your guess, Princess Yuki..He was a Ciel"

Yuki's.

Yuki himself sat quietly. He did not understand the horrors that were happening around him as a result of the words of King Bardhana.

He only realized when he heard the Asry Noble take a deep breath. 

"Yuki, I hope you didn't divulge your identity to anyone. The more you know yourself, the more your life will be threatened. Do you understand ?" Ask King Bardhana seriously.

Yuki looked at King Bardana still did not understand. "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I still don't understand. What is Ciel ?"

King Bardhana leaned his back, then He began to tell stories.

Ciel is a special human who was given thousands of gifts by gods, some even say, there is no Ciel prayer that is not granted by gods. The existence of ciel is very rare and hidden, besides that not all descendants of Ciel will get Ciel's blood. 

Each Ciel has a special ability that is never the same. Princess Ransah has the ability to predict the future. While Yuki, has the ability to see the death of those around him through dreams.

But Yuki feels doubtful about his abilities, though He does not refute King Bardhana. Yuki believes more strongly that he brought the god of death with him, thus bringing misfortune to those around him.

A Ciel is very hunted by the adherents of black magic, because his blood is able to give a thousand times more power than having to kill a thousand virgins.

Another plus of Ciel is, once someone falls in love with Ciel, he will love her for life like crazy.

Yuki immediately thought about Prince Sera. But He remained silent and only listened to the story of King Bardhana.

There is a story that happened hundreds of years ago, a Ciel and his children were killed by a ruler who was jealous of him. In front of the bodies of her children, before her death. Ciel was issued a curse, there will be a time where the world is mastered by black magic because it managed to drink Ciel's blood. That power would kill over a quarter of the human population in this world.

The sacred temple that got the report, was already trying to ward off the curse to save mankind, but the Prayer of an injured Ciel was very strong. So as to avoid the curse, the sacred Temple was forced to kill the descendants of Ciel who met.

King Bardhana found Princess Ransah in the middle of the forest when she was ten years old. Princess Ransah with her nanny and maid. They were fleeing at that time because their entourage was attacked suddenly. Among them, only King Bardhana knew the reason for the attack. He secretly saves Princess Ransah and gives her a place in his kingdom. Hiding Princess Ransah in her palace until it is safe and letting Princess Ransah stay with her. Since then their friendship has been.

Everyone went back to their respective places after King Bardana gave clear instructions. Prince Riana escorts Yuki home. He's not going anywhere today. So he's in the study and he's back to reading all the documents about black magic that ever happened.

Yuki sat on the long sofa located right in front of Prince Riana's desk. He can't sleep anymore. Everything felt more confusing to him and unreasonable.

"You have to be careful and don't trust anyone, that person is close enough to you, otherwise, how can He know who you are" Prince Riana reminded.

"Do you know I'm a.." Yuki did not dare to continue. But he began to understand why his father was so frightened the night before the attack.
