I immediately looked at Prince Sera in surprise.

"We have no reason to postpone it anymore. Do you understand"

Married to Prince Sera. Is this really my wish ?. But the prince has been very kind to me. If I were with him, I'd be happy. He's like a shooting star that always brings me good luck. Like an oasis in my barren desert. He was always there in my every joy and sadness. I have no reason to refuse.

"The prince hasn't proposed to me" I said jokingly. "How can I prepare for such a wedding"

Prince Sera smiled. Then he shuffled to squat in front of me. "Daughter Yuki, do you want to marry me ?" The Prince asked as he looked me in the deep eye.

I looked into his eyes. I am sure of the happiness that will fill my day. I nodded my head. "Yes.." My whisper. The prince drew me closer. Slowly his face approached me. He kissed me softly and full of affection. His hand led me to embrace his neck. His eyes said he wanted me. The prince kept kissing me, obscuring my wits.

When he woke up, he was already above me. One hand hugged me, the other hand traced every curve of my body. "Prince.." I said let go of his kiss with a broken breath.

"Sttts...Shut up" whispered Prince Sera while kissing me again.

I don't feel ready to be with him like this. But how would he react if I refused. The kiss came down to my neck. The prince lowered my ropes down. His touch was so gentle, It was as if I was a precious item he had long desired.

"This prince is outside" I said reminding. What if someone comes and sees us.

"You want to move into room ?"

I'm speechless. My red face restrained my shame and desire that rose from the touch of Prince Sera.

But I have not replied, The prince's Gulf reads. Prince Sera groaned furiously. I laughed when I saw his expression.

"What's up ?" The prince said to a soldier who contacted.

"Sorry Prince, the meeting is about to begin"

"Okay, I'll be right there"

The prince covered the Gulf with a sour face. "Prince there is a Meeting" I said softly. In my heart I feel relieved because what happened did not continue.

"Yes, I'm sorry Yuki, I have to leave immediately"

"It's okay. Go Prince, I still want to be here and see the celebration from here"

"Alright, not too late. The night wind is not good for health"

Prince kisses my cheeks. He then left. I looked at his back while thinking.

I've accepted his proposal. I'm finally going to marry him. The wife of Prince Sera. This is what I want.

I woke up at night. By order of King Argueda, We must return immediately to prepare for the marriage. Now we're on our way there. The Prince invited me to stay at a luxurious inn when we reached the border of Argueda. It's a little wonder the Prince didn't take me to stay in his little palace. But according to the Prince, he wanted to slightly change the atmosphere to release the tension after the war. I was lucky enough that when Prince Sera wanted a continuation that had been cut off on the roof of the Rashamsah kingdom, I was being misfired. I don't know. I don't know why I'm this. I don't think my heart is ready to have that kind of relationship with him. I don't know until when He will understand.

The sound of the door closing. I opened my eyes lazily. This time the trip was exhausting. When I turned around, I realized Prince Sera was not beside me. Where is she ?.

I woke up lazy. The voice came from Prince Sera. I glanced at the window. It's still late at night. Where is he this late.

I can't sleep anymore. Hungry stomach. I'll catch up with him. He's not far from here yet. I got out of bed and put on my night robe. Take sandals beside the bed and wear them. There were no room guards when I came out. I saw Prince Sera turn at the end of the hall. Is he hungry too. As I recall there was a dining room. I stopped to call him and chose to follow him from behind. But my estimates are wrong. The prince did not turn to the dining room. He still continues his steps.

Where's Prince.

I'm like a criminal slipping behind him. Turns out he's headed for a quiet corner of the park. There's just a little light here.

What is the Prince here for ?.

I almost called out to him when I saw a familiar figure appear in front of the Prince.

My reflexes are hiding. Did I not see wrong. Not likely. But it's true he is..That's Princess Marsha. Why is he here?. Why did Prince Sera meet him in the middle of the night like this in a place like this ?.

"I told you not to see me again" Prince Sera said in a dislike tone. "Our partnership is over"

"You should be thanking me Prince, If I don't arrive on time in Rashamsah, Yuki and Riana will be reunited and your efforts during this time will be in vain" Princess Marsha said in a haughty manner. I shut my mouth not believing what I was hearing. So Prince Riana did not bring Princess Marsha to Rashamsah, Princess Marsha was the one who deliberately followed Prince Riana. I have misunderstood Prince Riana.

"You must not forget your promise to give me 1000 acres of land in the west"

"I won't forget. Besides, don't you get Riana now?, if you become her Queen, you'll see 1,000 acres of land become something small"

Princess Marsha sighed. "Riana is still very difficult to penetrate"

"That's your problem is none of my business, You'd better not bother me next time or I won't tolerate you"

"Are you afraid that Yuki knows about our cooperation ?" Ask Princess Marsha cynically. "You are so cold-hearted, Prince. In front of Yuki you act as a hero. If Yuki really knew that you were the one who spread her pregnancy story back then to separate Them. What do you think Yuki will do ?"
