This morning's schedule at Corvus is archery practice for Princess Carla, Prince Aiden, Princess Lily. They had prepared to use clothes for archery carrying their respective bows and stood at the designated place.
"Wahh. Unexpectedly it turns out this is the first time we practice archery together with Princess Carla. Isn't it prince?" Princess Lily
"As you know" Aiden
"It turns out like this if you have a sister instead of a man" upset Princess Lily
"You guys why don't you get along? I thought you guys got along, because before you got married to Aiden you were always together and looked good" Carla
"Yes.. It's actually just imaging. Shouldn't we be nice and get along in front of everyone?" Princess Lily
"Just like you and Prince Harris" Aiden replied
"But I'm with Prince Harris to get along" Carla replied
"Somehow that guy's hard to get along with" Princess Lily
"You're the one who didn't adjust your attitude to me, I think" Aiden replied as he faced Princess Lily while putting on his arrogant face
"Oh... So, this is because of my attitude that can't adjust he'em? Then what about your stubbornness huh? I hope you don't forget" Princess Lily put on a face no less arrogant
Carla who was in the middle of them just looked at these two brothers in turn and tried to understand the situation.
"When have I been so stubborn? You're the one who doesn't want to be arranged" Aiden
"I think I'll take my word if I want to have a partner like you" said Princess Lily slowly and ignored Aiden who still had an arrogant face.
"Come on.. Why fight when we start shooting?" Carla
Before long the archery coach came and approached Princess Carla, Prince Aiden and Princess Lily.
"Hail princess, prince" she said
"Greetings" they answered compactly
"Please allow me to get acquainted, because I just met you Princess Carla" he said
"Alright, introduce yourself" Carla
"Thank you daughter, my name is Axain, I'm 20 years old. Been an archery coach here for 3 years" Axain
"Wahh. You're as experienced as it is" Carla.
"Unlike the princess said, I'm still practicing" Axain
"Then you teach me and the others to be as good as you are" Carla smiled
"Good-well"
"Don't talk too long together, there's still me and Princess Lily here." between Aiden, Carla laughed a little at Aiden's behavior that seemed to burn with jealous fire.
"I'm sorry prince" Axain
"Please begin" Princess Lily
"Well.." Axain bowed briefly then archery training began seriously.
...~ ~ ~...
Carla walked into the forest alone, she continued to explore the forest under the dark sky at this time. Somehow he was curious about the tiger last time who wanted to kill him.
Carla stopped at the same place when the tiger appeared, she did not carry any weapons, she just brought her soul and body into this forest. Long enough to wait he had not seen any sign of the tiger's presence.
Until the moment of wanting to sit on the rocks, Carla stood up again as a rustling sound rang out in her ears at this moment. Carla continued to circulate her gaze seeing around what would appear before her and prepared to run if the tiger appeared.
Carla flinched back because what came out was a wolf and a black hooded person appeared in front of her. She shows him the blood-stained dress, then throws it in front of Carla. Carla was surprised, as the thrown dress was the one she was currently wearing.
Carla observes the person and he leaves just like that, but not with his wolf. He pounced on Carla. His breath was suffocating and he was conscious.
"Carla's "dreams" set her breath and tried to calm down
(What was in my dream? That doesn't make sense) Carla said
Aiden who wanted to change position felt that beside her was empty, he opened his eyes and saw Carla sitting on the bed.
"Wall she? Why are you awake?" Aiden hugged Carla from behind and placed her chin on Carla's shoulder.
"It's okay, you go back to sleep" Carla
"Why did you wake up, baby? I asked" Aiden
"I.." Carla was confused whether she would tell Aiden about her dream or not
"You why?" Aiden
"It's okay, I just woke up." Carla
"Sleep again" Aiden
"Yes" Carla
Carla lies down first, followed by Aiden and Carla trying to close her eyes again and hope that the dream does not come again tonight.
...× × ×...
Morning had arrived, all busy with breakfast while Carla was only bribing a few times and mostly daydreaming. Aiden realized that he grabbed Carla's hand from under the dining table and smiled. Carla returned her smile and returned to bribe a little though she had to.
Finished breakfast, Carla stared at the wide view in front of her in the front courtyard of the palace. Carla walks erratically just to breathe fresh air and think straight from her dreams.
Unwitting Carla, Aiden follows from behind secretly and intends to surprise Carla but sees Carla just silently Aiden.
(Why is my dress bleeding? What does that mean?) carla Inner
"Who is that guy?" Carla
"Which men?" Aiden spontaneously answered and looked in the direction Carla saw
"Since when are you here?" Carla
"From the beginning you've been here" Aiden
"Why follow me?" Carla
"Can't it?" Aiden
"It's not so, why don't you ask me to chat or how" Carla, who was staring at Aiden, looked back to the front again.
"I? Fine" Carla smiled, Aiden shook his head.
"You're not okay" Aiden
"How can you conclude that?" Carla
"Last night, at breakfast and now. Plus you said man. Which man. Meanin?" Aiden
"Nothing, when did I say that?" Carla
"Barusan, honey.Just tell me not to lie" Aiden.
"I-I'm not ready to say it yet. Let me think about this first" Carla lowered her head
Aiden hugged Carla and rubbed Carla's back and head gently.
"Tell me if you're ready, who knows I can help you" Aiden peaked Carla's head
(I doubt you can help me) Carla closed her eyes and tightened her arms at Aiden.
Aiden let go of his embrace and clasped Carla's hands together with a smile.
"Now let's get ready for camping and hunting. You wanna come?" Aiden, Carla nodded in agreement
"Alright come!" Aiden holding Carla's right hand is like taking her little sister away to play.
They were preparing to go to the forest to hunt and camp. While setting up a tent and composing firewood. Aiden opened the conversation.
"I remember when you were mad at me back then, we had a fight over a necklace" Aiden
"Why do you remember that again?" Carla
"Have you forgotten?" Aiden
Carla shakes "No"
"I really felt guilty at the time for being rude to you" Aiden
"Yaa~ and honestly I'm scared too. Because I just saw you for the first time" Carla
"You scared?" Aiden, and Carla nodded
"Sorry to scare you" Aiden
"No need to apologize anymore, it's over let it pass" Carla
"All right" Aiden smiled
"Then now? We want to eat or hunt?" Carla
"eat? Didn't you eat?" Aiden
"I'm not focused on breakfast" Carla
"But before you leave you ask me to bring you some food" Aiden
"But I'm hungry" Carla
Before leaving, Carla asks Aiden to get her some food. And Aiden brought a lot of food back then.
"You're not full yet?" Aiden, Carla shakes
"Maybe a little more" Carla smiled widely
Aiden smiled "Alright, you just eat first. Let me hunt first, when it's done don't forget to follow me. Huh yeah?" Aiden
"Well okay, if I'm not lazy I'll follow but if otherwise I'm here" Carla.
Aiden shook his head at Carla's current behavior, then he walked through the forest and began hunting.
Carla takes the yams and potatoes she brought for supplies with Aiden. He burned it to maturity and ate it when it was warm.
While he was eating, he heard a rustling sound from his left. Carla swiftly stood up and carried the arrow in the tent, she prepared to hold a bow and Abah an arrow ready to slide.
Carla continued to look for the source of the sound and away from the tent, when it was far away she had a moment of silence because from the opposite direction someone came to show himself.
"Who are you?" Carla
The man did not make a sound, Carla could not see his face. As the 3 steps forward approached, how shocked Carla was when the moment she saw was exactly the same as the one in her dream that night.
"You-you?" Carla was immediately nervous and shook her body unapologetically
"Do you want what?" Carla retreated slowly as a sign that she was worried about what would happen later
The man just silently nailed and ran away again, Carla chasing after the man but when it was felt far from the camp Carla stopped and returned to the tent because she was afraid Aiden was looking for him.
(Next time I'll catch you. Just look at it) Carla's inner
Arriving at the tent, Aiden immediately approached his wife and hugged her. Carla let it go and closed her eyes.
"Where have you been?" Aiden
"Just take a walk" Carla
"Why alone? You can take me" Aiden
"You're hunting" Carla
Aiden took off his embrace
"You can keep taking me, I will definitely accompany you" Aiden
"It's okay, I'm back anyway" Carla
"You're okay, right?" Aiden, Carla just nodded in response.
He's not ready to tell Aiden everything, he's afraid Aiden will do something outside of Carla's plans.
(Sorry Aiden, I can't tell you this. Not yet) Inner Carla.
