Poor Rain

"It's not easy to hide something from you" I said. I hugged Lekky tightly. He channeled this happy feeling to her. Lekky patted me gently on the shoulder, returning my embrace.

"You pregnant ?" Ask the noble Voldermon beside me.

"Yes..The new physician preached it" I said with a big smile.

"Great as well as Sera" Guman the Noble of Voldermon to himself. I immediately patted the back of his head full of affection.

"What do you mean"

"Happy Princess Yuki" The Asry Nobles said sincerely. I nodded my head in thanks.

Large meetings were held again to discuss the departure that tomorrow began in the movement. I sat surrounded by Lekky and Prince Sera. Prince Riana is across from us. Meanwhile Lazzar and Varmount are on the other side of Lekky.

"I'm going north to block the movement there" said Lekky raising his hand. Prince Sera will be in the east while Prince Riana will guard the holy temple.

"I'll keep him company" I said, raising my finger up. Lekky groaning.

"My wife will accompany Lekky to the North" Prince Sera agreed.

I have told Prince Sera of Lekky's diminished spirit since his wife died. Prince Sera understood that. He even encouraged me to keep my brother alive. I am so grateful to have a husband as good as him.

"I also agree" Lazzar and Varmount raised their hands.

"Are you satisfied now ?" Ask Lekky in a cynical tone. I squealed near him. "You've always ruined my pleasure Yuki"

"I'm coming with you" I said more clearly.

The big meeting has been decided. Tomorrow morning Prince Sera will leave first with his ten thousand troops. I sat in the room watching him who seemed busy arranging his belongings. His war clothes were cleaned and put on display in the room. I was stunned when I saw the clothes. It dawned on me that the moment of my death was approaching. I just hope Prince Sera will be fine. I gave her too much grief.

"Why is your face like that" asked the Prince when he finished putting his things in.

"I'm sorry I can't keep you company" I said regretfully. Should have been my wife accompanying him. But I chose to keep Lekky. It's not that I don't want to be with the Prince, but Prince Sera is more trustworthy than Lekky in keeping his life.

"Don't worry. You don't have to think about anything. Everything will be fine" said Prince Sera softly.

I leaned my head against the Prince's shoulder. Prince Sera stroked my stomach. "Take our son well while I'm gone"

"certain"

Prince Sera brought his face closer. We kissed friendly.

War drums sounding timid. The royal banners were hoisted among the soldiers who lined up neatly. Ten thousand best soldiers. Prince Sera had finished checking his army from the horse. His battle clothes looked fitting on his body. I was standing in the stands with Lekky. Pay attention to troop readiness. Before long sounded the drums being hit rhythmically. The troops are leaving. I'm approaching the guardrail. Prince Sera came to me.

"I'll go first. Take good care of yourself and our son"

"Of course" said the Prince smiling. The prince raised his sword. The troops began to walk out of the school gates with neatly arranged rows. Prince Sera on his horse. Walk slowly following the line. I looked at his back stupefied. We'll be apart maybe in about three months.

I unconsciously ran after him. My breath was choking after him.

"Prince Sera" Call me when I manage to be near him. Prince Sera turned around. Surprised to see me.

"Yuki's.." Prince Sera approached me on his horse. I'm riding the fence. I don't know where to get courage. I bowed my body. Closer to Prince Sera.

He saw ten thousand of his troops. Watching people watching the departure of the troops. I kissed Prince Sera. My husband's.

"Be careful and quickly return" I said as I let go of my kiss.

Prince Sera smiled happily. I watched his departure. His figure slowly disappeared within his army's ranks.

I turned around and found Lekky standing in the topmost trough. Not far from him Prince Riana stood with the Xasfir Nobles. Did the Prince see when I kissed Prince Sera ?. I don't know I don't care.

"Yuki's..I gotta get going" Lekky showed up with Curly when I just washed his clothes. He's ready to go. The big bag was on Curly's back.

"Where are you going ?" Ask surprised.

"There was an unexpected movement in the north. I need to get there as soon as I can"

I'm stunned. Prince Sera had just left this morning. Now Lekky will also leave because there is a sudden movement in the north. What is ungoverned situation ?. I got anxious.

"You don't have to worry. I was just there to investigate something"

"Then I'll get ready" I said standing nervously. Lekky immediately held my shoulder.

"no need. I'll go with Lazzar and Varmount. You'll come with Voldermon's entourage later. We'll meet at the rendezvous point"

"What ?"

Lekky pinched my nose. "You're recovering from an injury and you're pregnant. We don't know how bad the movement is going there. Now you just wait for the development here and use your talent as Ciel to pray for us"

"Ugh Alright"

Gulf in Lekky's pocket reads. "Lazzar. I have to go now Yuki"

"Be careful" I said at last. Lekky has a point. If I go there I can't do anything and endanger the other children in my womb.

Lekky lowered his head to give me a chance to kiss her cheek. After that in an instant, he was gone from before me.
