"What's your name ?" Ask Prince Sera again.
"My name is Bernades sir" Bernades said politely, He did not know in front of him was a Prince from a great kingdom. But from the way he spoke, Bernades could guess He was a class of scholars and a nobleman.
He did not feel suspicious at all with Prince Sera and Yuki. Many Nobles were happy to disguise themselves going to the city so as not to look conspicuous. Bernades just thinks the two of them are one of them.
Prince Sera took the bag out of his pocket and gave Bernades the entire bag. Bernades accepted with confusion. "Give this to your son and wife. I hope we meet again on another occasion"
"But Sir, I can't accept any of this" Bernades refused quickly.
"Why ?" Prince Sera asked not to understand.
"Even though I am a man who does not have, but I Abstain asking to support the wife's child"
Yuki salute to hear the decisiveness given by Bernades. Rarely does anyone have principles like Him.
Bernades took his family to the riverbank today to avoid the Retenir who came to collect debts. A few months ago her in-laws were very ill, and she was forced to borrow from a high-interest Retenir to treat her in-laws. But despite the house-in-law, which became an inheritance for his wife was forced to sell to cover the debt. He still had the remaining flowers to pay.
Bernades was just a small merchant in the market, he couldn't necessarily pay all those flowers at once.
He no longer has any precious treasure. For today's meal, he could only afford a pack of rice with his family.
None of his wife's brothers would help his parents, it was precisely his wife who was thrown out of the family for marrying Bernades who became a protector when both parents were old and unable to even just wake up from her sleep, until both died.
"Don't get me wrong, you're not asking me for anything. I gave it to you as a gift, Because you have set a good example for me as the head of the family" Prince Sera said with a smile. "Because you can get back at this if you want"
Bernades surrenders. He saluted after receiving Prince Sera's money bag. "Thank you very much Master" he said later, after which went back to his wife.
His wife was surprised when Bernades showed me the bag Prince Sera gave her. Carrying his son, he saluted from a distance with gratitude.
"Do They recognize us ?" Ask Yuki was-was.
Prince Sera hugged Yuki's waist, inviting her to continue the journey. "No, but just in case it's better we get out of here"
Yuki nodded his head in agreement. They walk down the river. "Can the Prince help Bernandes a little more ?"
"No problem" replied Prince Sera agreeing.
"Does the Prince know what happened ?" Yuki asked in surprise.
"I think the guy's in debt with a leech. I'll order someone to investigate"
"I think, the Prince can read people's minds" Yuki said amazed.
Meanwhile Bernades nearly fainted when he opened the parcel in his hand. There are twenty pieces of gold. Is that noble sane enough to give all this to an unknown person ?.
He hugged his wife and children. I do not believe in the grace given to him.
"Is it okay for the Prince to do this ?" Asked Yuki again with doubt. "The Prince is the Royal Guard, is it good if the Prince kidnaps me like this ?"
"Why are you asking me that again?, Am I making you uncomfortable ?"
Yuki shook her head. "I'm just afraid that people will speak badly of you" said Yuki could no longer hide his worries.
"You're the one who has to worry about yourself ?" Prince Sera said with a sigh. They didn't say it, but Prince Sera knew what Yuki was up against if he returned to the palace. Thinking about it made Prince Sera become angry.
Yuki lowered her head, avoiding the blue eyes that often made her hypnotized.
After this Yuki must face Prince Riana. She must have known Yuki had disappeared. Perhaps he had already deployed his army to look for Yuki. Or even Prince Riana herself who came down directly in her search.
Yuki could not imagine Prince Riana's anger this time. Yuki realized, He was not always lucky to escape the grip of Prince Riana.
"I can take you away if you want ?" Tawar Prince Sera when he saw the fear on Yuki's face.
"I can't Prince" Yuki refused bluntly. "As I've said before, I'm not leaving until I've solved the mystery of Dad's death"
Yuki lowered her head, her two fingers clinging to each other on the chest. Yuki understood that Prince Sera was worried about him. He knew clearly what kind of danger was threatening his life. But Yuki already promised himself, He won't run away. Escape is not a solution, He has to face everything whatever the risk.
"Are three attempts at murder against you not enough to make you back off ?" Asked Prince Sera again trying to remind Yuki. "There's still time we can get out of here safely before the blue moon"
Yuki. He was surprised that Prince Sera knew about the blue moon.
Clearly Prince Sera knew Yuki's true identity as a Ciel.
Prince Sera reached out to gently stroke Yuki's cheek. "I've told you, only you don't know me"
"I can't" said Yuki quickly as he turned his back on Prince Sera. Avoiding Prince Sera's seductive gaze. He was almost vulnerable to his stance and was tempted to follow Prince Sera's advice. "I'm sorry Prince, please respect my decision" Yuki said again in a regretful tone.
Prince Sera was patient enough to make Yuki understand. That girl is so stubborn.
"Behold Yuki, the death of Prime Minister Olwrendho and the assault on your house is not your fault. Stop torturing yourself. I don't want to hear you go on hunger strike and sleep strike again until you're sick"
Yuki. He finally understood the reason Prince Sera planned the kidnapping today. Prince Sera worries about Yuki's condition, so He decides to kidnap Yuki in order to meet and talk in person. He doesn't care about the risks involved. Prince Sera's attention made Yuki's chest hot. He did not expect, Prince Sera cared so much about it. Unconditionally.
"Prince, did the Prince not think of looking for another woman for the Prince ?" Ask Yuki lirih.
Prince Sera immediately stopped his steps. Looking at Yuki sadly.
"Yuki" Call Prince Sera not like.
"I'm just an ordinary girl. But the Prince sacrificed a lot for me. I feel unworthy of it all" Yuki said in a guilty tone. "My partner will feel heavy and risky. I was like bringing a god of death with me. Frankly, I don't want to make the Prince hurt. If the Prince finds another better girl than me. I'm so..mppph"
