Poor Rain

1

Bells ringing aloud above the tower, the sound of footsteps of horses galloping over the dusty streets, down the dense road full of people passing by. The walls of the capital encircle the building inside, the Wall that was only created four years ago It is clearly still new. It was built in anticipation of an enemy attack during the great war between Romawa and Garduete, which ended two years later with an absolute victory at the hands of Garduete. It is now one of the two largest states besides Argueda.

There are many changes happening in this country. The buildings, the neighborhoods, they almost showed a significant change. How long have I been leaving this place ?

I counted in my heart and was surprised to realize that I had been missing for five years. Escape on my honeymoon trip to be with my crazy older brother - Lekky Darmount (Read : Water Ripple).

I put together the cloth I was wearing to cover my hair. Eve was hot, my face was sweating under the veil I was wearing. Inside the carriage a Man sat chatting with an older Man. The royal wedding between Prince Riana and Princess Marsha has to be postponed until all these issues are over. Trouble got me back here.

"I heard this Devil was resurrected by the previous Queen candidate" The man said in a fiery voice. "She was really a bad woman, the Prince had once almost died for saving her. He betrayed the Prince when Prince Sera defeated Rashamsah and made Argueda the greatest nation. He left our Prince for greater treasure and throne"

"Is the previous Queen Candidate very beautiful ?"

"Beautiful?, why is it beautiful if her heart is like a demon. Fortunately, Prince Riana is now reunited with her first lover"

I stared at the hills we passed. The train is a little shaky as the road climbs. It's been five years.....It feels like a dream. Five years....

I pondered, For these five years I've been missing, living with Lekky. During that time I've changed a lot. No one believes that now I can fight, shoot or play the sword. I've been through a lot with Lekky. My brother, after a long time with him, I realized that He really wanted to die. Yes, ever since his wife was killed by the Nobles of Argueda, he seemed to have no desire to live anymore. Makes me really want to take care of her, after all she's my only family.

Lekky's own love story is very complicated. He has many women as his bedmates, But if He finds a woman who draws his heart, He will greatly adore and protect that woman. Before his current wife, Lekky had a lover, but this lover reportedly betrayed Lekky and instead trapped Lekky so he was almost caught by the kingdom of Argueda to redeem the girl who pretended to be taken captive. Lucky Lekky realized at the right time, he got away with the help of the woman who became his wife later on. Unfortunately, his wife at that time was still the Wife of an Argueda Noble, She often received ill treatment from her husband and family. Lekky, regardless of her status, snatches it from her husband and marries him. But the nobleman succeeded in capturing his wife by using her parents as captives, then beheading her in front of the servants. Lekky finished him off that night with all his followers.

They had a son, now eight years old named Ferlay. I've already considered Ferlay my own son. To my surprise, Ferlay looked more like me than his parents. Often if I was with Ferlay people would think He was my son.

"In a moment, we will arrive, prepare your identity, miss" cried the horse-driver broke my daydream. I nodded my head understanding. I picked up the bag I was carrying and searched for my identity. The two men from earlier chatting looked turned away when they saw the identity I carried.

The train has arrived at the checkpoint. The movement of demons led by the incarnation of Grandfather Dalto began to unsettle. The holy priest intervened and called to Us, The people he chose through a dream to gather at Garduete. Lekky arrived here three weeks ago. I chose to stay outside the capital until I felt quite ready to come. Not only Me and Lekky, Prince Sera was also summoned and reportedly He was already in Garduete.

I don't know how I'm gonna show up in front of them again. I really don't want to ruin their lives. Prince Riana was finally engaged to Princess Marsha a year ago, They should have gotten married this year, But since there was this matter of demonic movement, they put it off. And Prince Sera, I was sad to see him. He chose to hand over his crown to Prince Arana when forced to remarry. She still did not want to break her vow to marry me a. I cannot ignore the call of the holy priest. Inevitably I must return to Garduete.

I got off the train with my heart pounding.

I'm back
