Morning Dew's

74

Serfa was checking Yuki's pulse with both fingers, when Yuki finally woke up and opened her eyes slowly.

Yuki didn't say anything, just looked around to assess the situation.

Reverend Serfa smiled warmly at the nearby. "You've woken up Princess ?" Ask slowly.

"Yes." replied Yuki weakly.

Reverend Serfa pressed Yuki's pulse with his other fingertip. "I'll give the Princess an alkupuntur therapy, in order to calm the tense nerves"

Yuki did not reply, but He also did not give a rejection. Prince Riana was still sitting nearby watching.

Reverend Serfa took out a wooden box in his pocket. Then spread out the cloth that was inside. There are various needles of different sizes and lengths. Stored neatly in the box.

Reverend Serfa chose a needle, picked it up deftly.

Yuki let in the moment Reverend Serfa started stabbing needles into his arm. Then Reverend Serfa proceeded to stab Yuki in the temple and head.

Prince Riana was still sitting beside Yuki. His two hands held Yuki's one free hand. His gaze was straight ahead and looked seriously thinking of something. He didn't say anything at all. 

"It's over" said Reverend Serfa finally. He pulled out the last needle on Yuki's body. Yuki felt lighter. His feelings are much better than before. 

"Thank you" Yuki's heartfelt 

"I will concoct medicine for the Princess, try to keep the Princess well rested and well fed. The condition of the Princess' body has not fully recovered due to the last incident, do not add with unnecessary thoughts. It will affect the health of the Princess" Reverend Serfa said directly.

"I'll give you a list of food menus to eat Princess in the future. Today ask the cook to make swiftlet soup for the Princess" Reverend Serfa ordered Rena.

Rena immediately bowed in respect with a reverent attitude. "Thank you for the Pastor's kindness" 

Reverend Serfa packed his things and put them back in his pocket. He stood quietly beside the bed. Facing towards Prince Riana to report.

"There are no serious health problems for Princess Yuki. The princess just needs a lot of rest and calm the mind. Tomorrow morning I will return to check on the Princess and give her an alkupuntur" Reverend Serfa told Prince Riana.

"I see, now that I want to rest, you can all go out"

Everyone saluted Prince Riana and left the room. There was only Yuki and Prince Riana both inside the room right now. They were silent with their own minds.

"Is everything okay ?" Ask Yuki at last.

"Aren't I the one who should ask that question ?. Tell me what good is it that you refuse to eat and sleep like now ?" Ask Prince Riana slowly. 

"I'm sorry" Yuki said regretting her mistake.

"I understand you're very uncomfortable with your dreams. But you have to remember, you're no longer living in your old world. You are also part of the kingdom now. There will be a lot of bloodshed going on around you. You have to face it strong. If you are weak, you will be easily killed" Prince Riana said firmly. "I'll try to protect you, but not forever I can always be around you"

"Can I ask you something ?" Yuki asked with curiosity.

Prince Riana was silent. But her attitude shows that Yuki can ask her anything.

"When did the Prince first kill people ?"

Prince Riana was silent again. His face remained calm. He is good at hiding his emotions at the right times, so people rarely can guess his thoughts.

"What ?"

Eight years ?.

Yuki could not hide her feelings. He was shocked and could not believe what he had heard.

At the age of eight, children of that age usually only know to play and play. But Prince Riana had already killed people. 

"How did that happen ?" Yuki asked again, growing curious. Usually Prince Riana rarely wants to be open with his life. But it seems, today his mood is good.

"At that time, when I was just practicing archery alone. The palace traitor came to try to kill me. The protective soldiers are already in the latch. Only I remained, trying to run to save myself. If I die, the country will be fucked. Father will lose his head because in value as a king who failed to continue power. All of Dad's people will be killed. The potential for a great collapse, therefore I must kill him to save my country" Prince Riana opened her palms, contemplating looking at Them. His mind goes back to the time when He was eight years old. "I held the arrows and killed them all without hesitation. The kingdom is very proud to hear of my abilities. You know, Dad made this palace as a gift for my bravery" 

Yuki did not expect at all, the burden on Prince Riana was so great. At the age of eight, Prince Riana even had to think about what was not appropriate in the responsibilities of children her age.

Prince Riana has repeatedly faced an assassination attempt that almost took her life. Yuki could not imagine how powerful Prince Riana was to face it all. Understanding all that, made Yuki's heart become claustrophobic. Behind the majestic royal palace and the luxuries available within it, hidden so many menacing dangers.

"In the palace, you must remember this. No friend or foe is everlasting. Inside the palace, you'll feel alone. The higher you are, the more danger you will find"

"How do you feel, after killing the traitorous army of the kingdom. It was only eight years old at that time" Yuki asked in a sympathetic tone.

"Why did you suddenly ask that ?" Prince Riana asked back.

"The prince still remembers the incident until now. It means that the incident is not something that the Prince easily forgets" Yuki said sadly. "I can't imagine what kind of horror the Prince was facing at that time. People say the Prince is so great, because at a young age he was able to conquer his opponent. But what after that the Prince got help ?"

"For what ?"

"Of course to cure your trauma" Yuki said directly without making small talk. "Although all say great, but the Prince was still only a child at that time"

Prince Riana was silent. He raised the glass in his hand and drank the filling. "Nobody's ever told me this before"

"Although the Prince sucks, but the Prince has helped me a lot. Next time, if the Prince is in an unpleasant condition, you can come to me. I promise I will help you ease your burden" Yuki said sincerely.

"You speak like that, as if you yourself have overcome your problems" Prince Riana sneered to reply to Yuki.

Yuki immediately nodded. Feeling upset. "At least the Prince can appreciate my good intentions" he demanded annoyed.

Prince Riana did not reply, She actually reached out to tousle Yuki's hair. Yuki begged backwards, rejecting Prince Riana's attitude.

"Stop it" yuki exclaimed in annoyance.

 

The next day, early in the morning Yuki had gone to the King's palace to meet with His Majesty and Reverend Serfa. Prince Riana was already out of place when Yuki woke up. He had already left before dawn broke with the Nobles of Voldermont. 

The Guard soldiers no one knows where Prince Riana went.
