Ripple Water

48

When I entered the hall, the Noble Voldermon stood on my back. On his shoulder it was as if a heavy weight was pressing down on him. He looked tired and frustrated. I walked closer. The clinking sound of jewelry sounded as I moved.

The noble Voldermon turned around when he realized my presence. He looked at me with a questioning look. As if shouting "Why ?" To me.

"I'm..." The noble Voldermon instantly coded with his hand when I wanted to say something. He told me to shut up. In his hands is gulf. He's calling someone. I waited in silence.

"Show Him now" said the Duke of Voldermon to the Noble of Asry across the street as soon as his connection was lifted. I turned my face when in the gulf to highlight Prince Riana, she fell asleep at the table. There were empty wine bottles in front of him. There was sadness on his face. I squeezed my chest strongly seeing such reality.

"Why?, do you still have the heart not to see it now ?" Ask the nobleman Voldermon loudly. The nobleman Voldermon closed his gulf. He's starting to reconfigure me. "What happened to you, Yuki, it's not like you"

I turned my face away, Not wanting to show a puddle of tears in my eyes that seemed urgent to be removed.

"I was shocked when I heard Riana was dying at the border, She always mentioned your name in her delusions But strangely enough, We got your wedding invitation instead. What really happened to Yuki" Sued the Nobility of Voldermon.

The nobleman Voldermon drew me to see him when I did not answer. He was surprised to see me cry. I could indeed hold back in front of Prince Riana so well, tricking her with my coldness that He slapped me, But the hell I can't even hold back my emotions in front of the Noble Voldermon. I wept.

"All this makes me not understand. The dying Riana is sent by Argueda's forces to the border with the accompanying Marsha, And you ...You immediately decided to marry Sera" The nobleman of Voldermon fell silent. Something on his head seemed to be showing something. He pulled me back. I hold my face with both hands. Forcing me to see it. His eyes looked at me deeply. "Say Yuki..Tell me that this is all unrelated"

I'm crying more and more. The nobleman Voldermon released his check. He retreated. Seemed emotional.

I blocked his hand, holding it back as He walked quickly past me. "Where are you going ?" Ask her.

"I'll find Sera"

"I beg of you nobleman Voldermon, Don't" I panicked. I don't want the noble Voldermon to act foolishly which would harm him and Prince Riana later. I don't want that to happen.

"Take off me Yuki"

I kept blocking the arm of the Noble Voldermon. Prevent him from leaving. "For my sake.don't do this..I beg of you...I beg you"

The nobleman Voldermon silently watched me cry in his arms. He then stroked my hair. Pulls me into his arms. I'm still crying.

"You married her to save Riana am I right ?" The Whisperer of Voldermon in my ears. I nodded my head. I cannot answer with my voice. "He hurt Riana and threatened you" I nodded my head.

Noble Voldermon said nothing more, He waited until my cry subsided and I was able to calm myself down. I let go of her embrace. "Now I beg you, don't tell anyone about this. Let this be a secret between us" I said softly. "Can you do it for me"

"Garduete is my country. It's appropriate that I defend my country, no"

"And Riana is your love"

"Yes, he's my love"

"You know I love you too"

I'm silent. I know the Noble Voldermon has other feelings for me. I can feel it. But I kept pretending I didn't know. And He, Himself mature, came to me with a friendship.

"I know, I'm sorry for that" I finally said in a regretful tone.

"I'll still come if you need me. I'll visit you whenever I get a chance"

"I'll wait for that"

The nobleman Voldermon hugged me again. His embrace feels warm. I drove him to the palace gate.

When I returned, Prince Sera was standing on the balcony, staring at the departure of the noble Voldermon seen from a distance. I'm closing in on Prince Sera. He turned and smiled. Wiping away the remaining tears on the cheeks. Peeping my cheeks intimate, lifting me in her arms.

I let him go when he took me to bed. But now he is my rightful husband.

The next day, I will go on a honeymoon with Prince Sera to an undisclosed place. Princess Margitha and Prince Arana are on this journey. We'll board the royal ship. When I just got off the horse-drawn carriage, I saw Prince Sera standing by. His hand squeezed my hand. Makes me realize something's wrong. When I looked up I saw Prince Riana, He was accompanied by the Nobles of Xasfir and the Nobles of Voldermon. Prince Sera walked indifferently, He deliberately let go of his clutches. I feel there is a warning of Prince Sera's own attitude that makes me very careful.

Prince Sera deliberately left me behind, giving Prince Riana the chance to talk to me.

"You're right, a woman like you doesn't deserve me" he said directly with a cold face. I smiled a faint smile at her words.

"Good, soon find a woman worthy of you. I look forward to your wedding." I walked past Prince Riana. "May be happy"

I walked without looking. Climbing the ship's stairs. Prince Sera is waiting for me at

the top ladder. It was obvious that he was watching us from a distance. The whistle of the ship rang out loud. The excitement then felt around. Anchor lifted, Rope released. The engine sounds under me. The ship started moving, heading towards the middle of the ocean. I stood on the stern of the ship, watching the waves break. Slowly the scene in front of me began to shrink and long ago disappeared. There is only the ocean around me.
