Ripple Water

39

I walk in the middle of a burning city. There was panic all around me. The war lasted until sunrise. I could see a lot of casualties. The building burned and destroyed. Rashamsah which was once famous as a beautiful country is now turned into a hell.

The sound of bells reverberating loudly throughout the country. Above the highest building of the palace. The flag of Argueda was slowly raised. Prince Sera wins the battle. Now Argueda has taken control of Rashamsah, which means Argueda is the only largest land in this dimension.

A hand grabbed me from behind.

"I found you" whispered Prince Sera behind me. He hugged me so tightly. Her shirt feels cold on my skin. The prince turned my body to face her. He frowned when he saw the bruise on my face from Rafael's punch. He traced my wounds gently. "Are you okay ?" Ask.

I nodded slowly.

The prince hugged me again. "Good.." Whisper the Prince with a tone of affection and longing. "I miss you"

Prince Sera, who had succeeded in capturing Rashamsah, decided to stay temporarily in the Rashamsah Land to stabilize the situation and completely annihilate all remaining followers of Rafael. Rafael managed to escape during the battle. He fled leaving his army to fight for him. Until now, its existence has not been found. Prince Sera was furious when he found out Rafael was about to rape me. He ordered all his troops to continue searching for his whereabouts alive. He wanted to make a personal calculation with Rafael for his mother, for his sister and for me.

All the victims of King Trandem and Raphael who turned out to be just dumped in the ravine, were lifted and buried properly. There was no more violence for the people of Rashamsah but it was now a nightmare for all the followers of Rafael. Prince Sera ordered the beheading of all the followers of Raphael who had been proven right to have harmed his people. All the hoarded treasures of the Nobles and King Tradem were taken for use as the cost of rebuilding Rashamsah. Miraculously, shortly after Rashamsah was destroyed, the rain that the People long awaited fell quite rapidly.

The rivers are flowing water again. The tree sprouts appear. And again the great-grandson of the birds that were linking each other in the sky, as if to send victory from the people of Rashamsah.

From Prince Sera I finally know what has happened after the Queen and Princess Margitha were taken away. The troops who were chasing us met them halfway and managed to save them from the pursuit of the Rashamsah Army. Later, none of the Rashamsah Army never returned after that to report to Raphael. Maybe this is what makes Rafael so alert that he is busy and leaves me for quite a while. I feel grateful for that.

After obtaining the Queen and Princess Margitha, the Prince divided the army in two. One went with him to search for information and devise a plan of attack. Another escorted the Queen and Princess Margitha back to the royal court of Argueda. According to Prince Sera, They have arrived at the palace and are undergoing a process of recovery. I hope the Queen and Princess Margitha get well soon.

Prince Arana sent Prince Sera home later when they met. It seems that Prince Sera is still angry with Prince Arana for acting recklessly and taking me along so that I am taken captive by the Rashamsah kingdom.

I sat on the roof of the western building of the palace. Watch how the celebration of victory takes place below. It's very quiet and comfortable here. I looked at the sky. The moon is shining brightly enough. The air today is quite humid, the rain falls all morning and only stops in the afternoon. The green color has begun to show its shape. Flowers bloomed along the city streets. Rashamshah woke up from a long sleep.

The people are not saddened by the defeat of their country. They rejoice because they are free from the suffering they have experienced so far.

"The view here is very beautiful" I said pointing down below. "I have never seen happiness in Rashamsah as I have seen it now during my time in this land"

The prince sat near me. He gave the drink he brought. I took it and drank it. Warm.

I heard Prince Riana disappeared. It seems that He and his friends returned to Garduete knowing the victory of Argueda.

That nice. Because I don't need to see him back. I don't need to remind myself that we're over. She went to save me, but she took Princess Marsha with her. Just for what ?. Is it to show me that they're back together ?. Why would He come if he only added wounds to me.

Fireworks are launched into the night sky. Sound erupted followed by a large orange-colored spark. Spread in all directions.

"Wahhhh" I cried.

The second fireworks ..the third.and so on streaked, shining in the sky.

"You're happy" asked the Prince gently beside me.

"Yes, this last adventure of mine is quite draining. But I'm glad it's over"

"But remember don't do that again understand ?" The prince pinched my cheek. I grimaced in pain. "Make this experience so that you don't act rashly and don't trust the person you just met. We are lucky to be good for us, but not every time that luck can continue to happen"

"I understand..It hurts.." My fists. I rubbed my cheek that was pinched by Prince Sera. The prince was stunned for a moment. It was like he was thinking something.

"Yuki's.." Call gently. I'm turning. It seems there is something he really wants to say.

"I've asked Dad to prepare for our wedding"
