Poor Rain

45

"So Yuki.Rather than harboring everything yourself you better tell me. What's going on ?" The nobleman Voldermon is sitting beside me. Wiping my chin with a cloth soaked in warm water. Maybe because of the burden of the mind. I had some really bad vomit this morning. My body feels weak. I was lying in the garden, on a long bench to get some fresh air when the Noble Voldermon came.

"It's a common thing for pregnant people" I told her.

The nobleman Voldermon tied my hair so that the wind could hit my nape freely.

"We're coming" I turned around. The noble Asry appears alongside Prince Riana and the Noble Xasfir. "Is the Princess okay"

I hurried to wake up from my sleep and sat awkwardly. Prince Riana sat beside me. He placed a package containing various foods and the Noble Asry placed a basket full of fruit beside him.

"We brought a lot of food. Princess wants to try ?" Barat the Nobles of Asry were pleased.

I saw that there were various foods that they brought out one by one on the table. The nobleman Voldermon opened one of them and ate it beside me. Seeing me there was no reaction the Asry Noble said back. "The daughter is pregnant. If the Princess wants something, just let us find it".

I'm silent. Biting my lips. There is food I really want to eat. But it's not here. I'm afraid that if I say it it would be considered impolite. Noble Asry saw my reaction. "So right. There's something the Princess wants. Justsaytheword. No need to worry...Think of the child in the Princess' womb. He must have wanted it so badly"

"Tell me what you want. Don't trouble yourself" Typhoon Nobles Voldermon ate his meal.

"I...I want a cow's eye egg" I said at last.

"Is that all ?" Ask the nobleman Voldermon in disbelief. "You're holding back like now just because of the cow's eye eggs"

"Call the servant to make it" The Prince's orders are beside me.

The noble Asry stood up to call the servant.

"But what the King cooked himself" I said quickly.

Everyone looked at me in disbelief. I immediately lowered my head. "I'm sorry.." I said sorry.

We all gathered in the royal kitchen. The Queen Mother sat beside me side by side with the Nobles of Voldermon. While Prince Riana was standing behind me. The king rolled up his arms. A few servants peeked out of the window with curious faces. Meanwhile a senior servant in the aid of two young servants stood near the King. The frying pan was placed on the stove. The oil has been poured.

"Let me. You listen, my granddaughter wants to eat my cooking. So you do not bother me" said the King, driving away the servants who were trying to help.

Broken egg. The somewhat bearded king was exposed to hot oil. He hurriedly sprinkled a pinch of salt onto the egg and then turned over.

"Half ripe" I answered, focusing on the eggs being fried. The king raised the egg. Put it on a plate and give it to me.

I took a spoon at the table. After blowing it cold, I put the first piece in my mouth. My heart seemed relieved and pleased that my wish was realized. In an instant the egg had run out on my plate.

"You want some more ?"

I nodded my head.

"I ate eight eggs that were fried by the King. Finally something could get into my stomach. After finishing eating. We request permission to return to Prince Riana's palace to prepare for tomorrow's departure.

"Tell me if you want my cooking next time. Do not hesitate to me" said the King as he led us to the palace gate. "Tomorrow you'll leave. Take good care of your wife and child"

I opened my mouth to protest but the Prince tightened his grip on my wrist.

"Yes Dad. Now we go first"

We rode the horse-drawn carriage together. I looked at the window. Avoiding talking to him. The Prince's hand still blocked my hand. He was like afraid that if He let go of his grip I would disappear suddenly like the other day.

Upon arrival at the Palace, the Prince immediately left to prepare the necessities for the departure tomorrow morning. We will go through the air to get to the destination faster. Lekky's large coracal-birds have arrived. Tonight both the Nobles of Voldermon, the Nobles of Xasfir and the Nobles of Asry will stay at the King's palace.

I feel sorry for the Noble Xasfir. Tomorrow is a big day for him. Princess Marsha will serve her sentence tomorrow. But He still faithfully endures his country. There is news that says first actually the Nobles of Xasfir liked Princess Marsha. But because Princess Marsha continued to refuse and instead chased after Prince Riana. The Xasfir nobility finally relented and betrothed Princess Marsha to the Prince.

If...If Princess Marsha is smart enough. He should have chosen the Noble Xasfir instead of chasing after Prince Riana back then. His life must have been much happier now considering that the Xasfir Nobles were very good at treating his wife. Unlike Prince Riana who is as cold as ice. He's like a closed book. No one can guess her. Sometimes He can be very good but sometimes He can be cold and heartless.

I woke up when I found Prince Riana massaging my feet. It's late at night. Since when did he come back. I seem to fall asleep while reading a book. I pulled my leg, got away from him.

"Tomorrow we will travel far. At least your leg muscles must be relaxed first so as not to experience cramps"

"Thank you. I can do it myself"

Prince stands. Walk towards the sofa while taking his report. "On the table there is food..Eat if you're hungry" he said indifferently as he began reading the report.
