Hanaya woke up in the middle of the night, while the white water in the glass teapot in her room ran out, so she went down to fill the water. The smell of wine that was coming out attracted Hanaya's attention, her steps were directed at the source of the smell.
In his father's living room, Viscount Lances sat down with a bottle of wine.
"Dad not rested?" Hanaya's voice made Viscount Lances turn around, gave a small smile then said.
"Just can't sleep"
"Is there anything that bothers you?" Nodding Viscount Lances made Hanaya look at her father in surprise. Perhaps, because while in Viviana's body, what Hanaya always saw was free thought, as if there was no disturbance at all.
"Is that what's bothering you?"
"Dad thought about how home without you" Hanaya's heart slipped. At this point he just realized the price paid to get the complement of happiness. His family, the warm house where he was first received and loved.
"Dad,"
"Viviana will continue to visit. Mom and Dad can go see me at any time"
Viscount Lances shook her head "Yes, but there will be something different. The palace is not a place where everyone is free to enter, Viviana. I imagine how lonely you're there"
Hanaya.
Never thought that far. What was on his mind was the joy that was welcoming. Hanaya fell asleep to forget one thing, the palace is not his home. It belongs to his position-Queen.
In the hand of his father, he rubbed it gently. Trying to get rid of all his father's bad thoughts. "All will be well, Crown Prince loves me. I'll be fine, trust me dad"
"For so long, only as long as the Crown Prince loves you, son" Viscount Lances' errant froze Hanaya.
On her swipe the gentle mane of her daughter "Stana is not a beautiful place as it seems. Everyone smiles but drops each other. The strongest will be powerful, the weak will be used. Being a queen is not as easy as you might imagine. That palace
"I'll be fine dad" Hanaya assures, trying to drive out the misgivings that whack between her and her father.
"I will stand in that position as strong as father can, the Crown Prince will not betray me. Lookie! It's his gift ring, a rare amethyst" he continued with a smile, showing off a sweet finger where the diamond ring with the purplish Amethys inshore, shone beautifully.
Viscount Lances smiled grievously.
"Not all forms of love should be equated with jewels, if they are that big then why are so many women hurt?" Hanaya. Doubt ransacked him but Hanaya was still convinced of the happy ending he dreamed of.
"Trust me dad. Even if the crown prince doesn't love me anymore
Hanaya's voice choked. Until then, what will he do ? Can Hanaya hold a chest?
"I will continue to defend my position. I will still stand as the owner of the throne" Nada miris sounded, Hanaya will not be able to. Imagining how incompatible his reality and thoughts would only make him hurt, but he tried to believe in what he had believed.
Everything will end happily.
Isn't that the end of the story ?
"No! When that happens, make sure you split up, I'll do anything to get you off that guy!" Hanaya nodded, but a sense of smell was painted on her lips and eyes.
When that happens, there will be no way out. Unfortunately, Utopia has a single marriage law and will continue to last forever. Which means, Hanaya must be willing to live in the pain of Javier's affair, which will probably torment him for life.

"Miss, if you're not feeling well I can send a message to lady Annette. He would understand" Hanaya shook her head with a knotty smile unraveled.
It was unexpected that last night's conversation would risk behind her beautiful dream would make Hanaya sad all day.
"No, I made a promise to Annette. He'd be disappointed if I didn't show up" right, yesterday when I went home shopping with Viscountess apparently Hanaya had received an invitation for tea from Annette. He also has a promise to be paid off.
Hanaya knows how sick an unfulfilled promise can be. For giving a promise is the same as giving hope.
"I'll keep going. If anything happens to me, isn't there you?" Say
Brianna nodded, not wanting to force her non-action decision.
"Miss the horse carriage is ready, you want to leave now?" Ask the male servant from outside the room door.
"Yes, the lady will be out soon" and with that, Hanaya spurred a step in Brianna's follow.
"Be careful on the road dear" Hanaya nodded
"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it, now have fun"
The two take a horse-drawn carriage to Lady Annette's residence. And Hanaya as usual peeked at the outside life through the horse carriage. Usually it will always be filled with a sense of amazement and pleasure, but now his mind floated on the conversation last night.
Hanaya hope not so !
He does not want to be heartbroken because reality is not in line with what he thinks and believes.
"Miss, we've arrived" Brianna told Hanaya. He nodded and went down with Brianna's help.
Entering the courtyard of the Annette family home, the two continued to step up to be greeted right at the door of the Annette residence.
"Welcome to the Bartand lady's residence, let me welcome Annette to you" Annette's formal tone sparked Hanaya's amused smile. Bad thinking forgotten.
Following Annette's steps, Hanaya admires the structure of the girl's house. No more luxurious than his house, quite beautiful with an ancient classy interior. The two arrive at the back garden, Hanaya gazing in admiration at the small greenhouse filled with various types of roses; white, pink, green and blue. So pretty.
"Please sit down" invited Hanaya who was greeted with a smile by Rozetta. Annette served tea, the aroma made Hanaya close her eyes.
"This tea what lady ? "
"Tea*butterfly pea "
"really?" Annette nodded.
"This tea is popular among the nobility" Rozetta said.
"Great. Indeed the taste of the tea is distinctive and the aroma is also very fragrant. It's soothing. Who made it?"
"Ekhem-ekhem" Deheman Annette made Hanaya look at him worriedly, he thought the girl was sick. Actuallyno. Annette was apparently bragging.
"It was the Bartand's" Rozetta said, glancing at Annette. Hanaya gawked in admiration. Surprised as well. So that's the reason Annette's proud expression?
"If you add lemon juice the color will change" Hanaya was amazed when the bluish tea color gradually purple. Looks so beautiful, matching with the white color of the cup. Reminds her of lavender, her favorite flower.
"Pardon her child-like behavior, lady "Rozetta's audible voice made Annette fold her annoyed lips.
"I'm even older than you two" eh ? Hanaya surprised. In terms of face, appearance and nature, Annette completely deceived her!
He looks much younger than Hanaya and Rozetta, originally even older?
"Really? I think Lady Annette is a lot younger"
"What is true? Does my face look like an adult?" The gerutu don't believe. Rozetta shook her head in response to "Your face is even younger than ours and so is your nature, which is why uncle does not want you to blend in with others, he is afraid that you are taken advantage of" Rozetta said honestly.
Well, Hanaya has investigated both through Brianna. Rozetta is the only daughter of Baron Arches, a literary genius and a master of three languages. Rozetta was like her carrier, she was firm and graceful despite her honest and sharp words. Rozetta was also famous in other nobility, but I don't know what principles he applied so that not many became close friends. Only Annette, whose father is Rozetta's father's distant cousin. Annette is Rozetta's only friend.
Annette is the youngest child of Duke Bartand, the owner of the largest legal auction. Their bloodline is also very high, the descendants of Bartand hold the position as the most producer of the Queen. His first son, Robert, had the highest position as commander of the Ophelia navy. His second son, Raymond, was Ophelia's youngest physician. Annette herself is the youngest child who has the potential as a future Queen, but her innocent nature is unlikely to fit there. Hanaya understood why from Rozetta's words, Annette was taken care of by her father. The girl will be able to take advantage if she befriends someone who is wrong.
"Can you not be too honest? It hurts" Annette is sad because it doesn't have the advantages of Rozetta or Viviana. Literally he just depends on his father.
Rozetta sighed, knowing she was overreacting, patting Annette on the back comforting "While painful honesty is so much better than lying"
"True, and I heard that lady Annette is very good at painting and sewing is a talent as well" Hanaya added.
"really? I know I'm great!"
Hanaya and Rozetta looked at each other exchanging small smiles.
See it? Annette is like a child. He was angry and sad for just a moment, after the consolation the girl would forget everything.
Hanaya is envious, wishing she was like Annette. That way even though she does not have Javier's love or does not become Queen, Hanaya will still be happy with her family.
It was a pity that he was too longing for perfection in this artificial world.

*Butterfly pea (called Telang flower in Indonesian) is a plant that has vines and flowers in pairs. The flower consists of 3 colors: blue, white and pink. The flowers of the telang (blue) change color because lemon water contains acids that change the level of acidity (ph) in the drink.
