Surviving As The Protagonist
Chapter 14: Dreams of the Past
One dark night, there was a girl lying down and fast asleep, but she was also awake in her dream. The girl only laughed bitterly when she found the memories of the past that would come to her, “It seems Lucy gave me another dream.” left when she found herself standing in this endless hallway of darkness.
He just stepped following a light in front of him, and it led him into a hallway of the palace. At first, he moved to follow his heart, but when he got to his destination, where memories and dreams were connected, his body would move as instructed.
‘Definitely this dream..or his memory will start soon yes.’ Lucy's mind when she found her whole body changed, which initially she only wrapped in a nightgown, now she wears a long dangling green dress to the company of her loud heels. The sound was enough to fill the hallway of the palace that felt silent and desolate.
Every time she falls asleep, the real Lucy always gives her this kind of dream about the past. Sometimes she was in Lucy's viewpoint, or the girl just fell silent in the room and watched everything. Sometimes Lucy gives him memories directly, as if they were fused with him, or as if he had done so, exactly like his childhood memories that suddenly appeared when he was with the Crown Prince in the greenhouse.
‘This time, what dream will you show, Lucy?’ his inner.
‘No, since when was Sir Emillo behind me.’ He said when he felt the presence of the man who followed him behind with a distance of 3 steps.
Lucy did not manage her facial features well, she simply put on a flat face at each of her graceful steps. But miraculously, Lucy's expression now turns 180 degrees when the man she loves appears at the end of the corridor. That young man Reygan Garfield, his beloved fiancee.
The girl hastened her steps while putting on her most beautiful and bright smile like a goddess, right in front of the young man, she pulled out her dress and greeted the Crown Prince with her sweet voice. “A bright morning, Your Majesty.” said a very soft-sounding word.
Instead of replying to him, the man put on a face that did not like him. “Morning is already wandering around in the palace.” he replied with a ketus. Lucy did not look angry with the Crown Prince's response, but rather he just smiled warmly as usual. “I believe, someday Your Majesty will look at me like before.” her softness that somehow feels sad.
‘Actually, what made the Man to act like this to Lucy?’ the person who is witnessing this dream.
Lucy's body looks sick, Lucy's legs look shaky. She screamed when she forced herself to dress in high heels.
“This is because of the party yesterday.” his clean which is enough to make the focus of the attention of the Crown Prince shifted to him.
Actually at the party yesterday, Lucy was busy greeting the invited guests alone, because the Crown Prince was busy dating Sheyra instead, and should this morning he was still resting, he said, instead of that, he forced himself to get up to say his morning greetings to His Majesty as usual.
“You okay?” Asked the man with a frowning face. The girl was now staggered and almost fell, but the Crown Prince swiftly caught her, accidentally touching their fingers, which inexplicably made the Crown Prince now look dazed and strangely struggling.
“Sorry, I am not well, I do not intend -” her panicked speech is now cut off by the shrillness of the Crown Prince, the girl just speechless with a cold sweaty face.
“Lucy?” cut it that looks confused. His fingers seemed lifted touching Lucy's forehead, and the man seemed shocked to find his body temperature was hot.
“You have a fever?!” tanyanya is attentive. Lucy did not reply, she just lowered her head to cover her flushed face.
‘Why at a time like this should I feel the heartbeat of this child anyway?!’ angryness.
“This is unfair, you act like you hate me. But every day His Majesty ceaselessly calls my name.” he said softly while releasing the Crown Prince's hand checks.
‘Ah..my mouth and body move by themselves.’
“Actually I-” has not had time to finish his sentence, the call of someone loud enough to distract Reygan. “Your Majesty!” shouting someone loudly until the voice echoed, yes of course the beautiful voice belonged to the girl with emerald red mane red rose, Sheyra her dark lover.
“Why are you crying?” lirih The man was worried, his facial expression was very display of anxiety as if he was afraid something had happened to Sheyra. Lucy was only staring as the man walked up to Sheyra as if he was invisible to them.
The girl's eyes were quite rounded as she watched the warm scene in front of her. “Did you ever ride that to me?” ask her slowly with an empty look.
‘Hah? What is the creature behind Lucy? You think Sir Emillo is a ghost?’ the inner girl sneered in annoyance when it was said to be alone with the Crown Prince.
The servants passing by were now laughing at her blatantly as if they were satisfied with this sight, the humiliated Lucy simply fell silent without saying a word, not a word, he turned around and looked at Sir Emillo helplessly. “My body is not well, Sir. Please take me back.” he said accompanied by a forced smile.
The young man nodded then carried Lucy ala Bridal Style. The girl did not budge but sheathed her hand on the knight's neck. He chuckled incessantly, even until the girl left like this it seemed that the Crown Prince did not really care about her.
“It's okay sometimes, right? I was sick..” flowed without energy.
“Nona no need to worry.” replied the Man with a sigh.
On their journey that will soon return to the Crown Princess palace is quite quiet and heavy, Lucy's eyeballs now look reddened, puddles of tears enough to fill the eye pelukur. He felt that his current existence was already quite far away from the Crown Prince.
“Sir, can I borrow your shoulder?” his question was sudden, and without needing to think long, the young man simply nodded his omen as he gave him permission.
With all the sadness piled up, the girl let her cry that she had been holding back from earlier break just like that. At least he needed a shoulder to accept his cry, and it was with great pleasure that this Personal Knight complied and gave it.
“Does one day, my efforts will be appreciated?” ask her with a sobbing cry. The man smiled wryly and nodded, he simply replied, “Yes Miss. You just have to wait for it.”
“I don't understand, why everyone understands his brash actions. Why does everyone seem to want to demean me? Doesn't anyone care about me, hugging me warmly, thinking about my hurt feelings?” softly with a soft look, the girl did not last long seemed to fall asleep in the lap of the knight due to fatigue crying.
Knight Emillo put on a furious face to find Lucy's condition that came like this. “When the date of the wedding has been determined, it could be that His Majesty acted disappointingly like this.” he said with a furious face.
Now he stared at her, “Are you going to hang by her side? Lady Barayev the cold.”
“Or Miss Lucy who always smiles warmly?”

...
The bird perched in the trees was now chirping with excitement, a curtain was being held, the warm morning sunlight was now touching its ice-white skin. The girl now woke up from her sleep, waking up from her long dream.
“Dream again.” lirihya who feel confused by the situation. But he could only conclude that the dream showed how much Sir Emillo cared for Lucy.
‘But this is strange.I was in Lucy's point of view, when my eyes looked at Rean.I felt that his red eyeball was covered in fog.’ his inner being looked confused.
“Ya.. somehow His Majesty's eyes seemed to be covered in a fading purple color.”.
“Your Majesty also acted as if he controlled something.” Suddenly assumption.
“Actually what secrets do I not know behind the truth of this novel?”
