Poor Rain

48

"Prince's part of the plan ?" I stared at the confused Nobility Voldermon. The nobleman Voldermon pulled the plate in front of him. Take a piece of bread and devour it in three mouthfuls.

"When I told her you were pregnant with her child. She's surprised. But then I saw satisfaction in his eyes. A victory..That's when I realized He was planning this from the beginning. Maybe even long before you came. All this exasperating attitude.The reason He did not want to touch any woman during these five years. Is for this" Noble Voldermon pointed at my stomach. "The only way to bring you back with the full support of the kingdom is to get you pregnant before Riana has any children from other women. That's why he's holding back"

The nobleman Voldermon drank tea in his cup.

"He knew if you were pregnant with a child who became the next regent, the amara stone would shine again and the kingdom would inevitably help him to bring you back. He knows too...Risks to be faced with this plan. Hence at the great battle of the two kingdoms with Romawa yesterday. He was so focused on winning the battle. The goal is to have a draw if you have to face Argueda in your fight. For these five years Riana had been preparing him secretly. He deceived Us by accepting the engagement to Princess Marsha and all the preparations for the wedding. Maybe even to lure you out."

"I'm.."

"If He's not engaged or going to do a wedding are you going to come here ?"

I'm speechless. Yep...I decided to come here because I believe Prince Riana has forgotten me. If He were like Prince Sera, I would think a thousand times to return.

"It's wrong..You know, this is all wrong"

"But Riana doesn't care about being wrong and right. He will do anything to bring you back. It doesn't matter if you're happy with your marriage now or whether you love Sera more than she does. He won't care"

I bow my head sadly. Twist the spoon inside the cup.

"Riana still loves you. I can be sure of this Yuki. He never forgot you. You can believe it or not for five years...He looks ordinary. But I feel different. He's like a zombie. Soul's empty. It's like I don't recognize him. He's not like his old self. But when you come back...I looked back at the emotions inside him. And it looks like your brother ..Lekky's your brother, right ?"

I nodded my head. "Lekky was the son of the father's lover before the father met the mother"

"Is He able to read minds or anything.It seems that He often deliberately provokes Riana's emotions especially those related to you. He used to heat up Riana and make you jealous of your togetherness"

"Lekky has the ability to read minds. Sometimes He's very annoying but Believe me He's actually good"

"But he's very dangerous. I just saw one person pluck out another's heart with ease and without his looks" said the Noble Voldermon frowning. Given how Lekky killed Commander Jafar with his bare hands. "Back to the problem. Riana turned into a human with all her emotions when you came. Can you understand that ?"

I'm musing. Lying in my own mind. It felt like knowing this made me feel heavy.

"Come with him to eat" said the Noble Voldermon as he showed the sandwich in front of him. The prince pulled out a chair and sat down beside me.

"What are we going to do tomorrow ?" Asked Royal Noble Voldermon to Prince Riana while opening a chat.

"We can only wait. Is there no news at all ?" Ask the Prince. I shook my head lightly.

"No problem. We can rest here longer. Don't worry Yuki. Lekky won't die so easily"

The nobleman Voldermon yawned wide. "Because there's already you. I'm back in the room"

Not long before the noble Voldermon left. The sound of the door closing.

"I will also rest" I said trying to escape the awkward situation that was now happening. My conversation with the Noble Voldermon affected my mood. I don't know if I'm happy or sad to hear that.

The prince did not answer. But he followed me from behind. I climbed the stairs to my room.

"You're not going to go inside, are you ?" I said not sure.

"Is there a problem if I'm in the room with you ?" Prince Riana asked back.

I want to say something. But seeing him made me recall my conversation with the Noble Voldermon. I finally let the Prince inside. My room is not as spacious as the room in the palace. But I'm styling it according to my personality. There was a shelf containing some books that I displayed on the east wall near the fireplace and the window. In the corner was a small sofa where I spent a lot of time there. This room has a window facing the back garden. From here I can see the little garden that I've been looking after and maintaining all this time.

I lay on a small bed. The Prince stood in the corner looking at the photos I posted on the wall. I lay behind him. Not for how long I felt movement on the bed. Prince Riana hugged me from behind.

"Five years..For five years I have given you a chance. Why don't you use it" I said softly. I don't understand the thoughts of these two princes. Why they kept waiting for me. All this time I've been hoping that with me gone they'll be able to forget me.

I didn't show up to go back to you guys. I showed up to die.

"No matter what you are Yuki's" said the Prince in my ear. Inflamed me.
