The Bond of a Princess and a Prince

Episode 36's

Kimiko is currently heading towards the spring, the distance between the capital and the place is not too far but if the walk will take a little longer to get there, it will take a long time, different if riding a horse that will shorten wanktu.

“I can't stop here, I have to save Zen “ immediately

It did not feel like the night was getting late, Kimiko became worried about her grandmother and son, maybe now she has been found missing by her son. But how else this is the only way it will.

“Hahh maybe when you go home later, Prian will be very angry with me” muttered Kimiko

It's been 1 hour Kimiko walked and he was only half way, the distance of the springs will indeed feel far if walking.

Kimiko was a little tired, she decided to take a short break outside, because it was impossible for her to return and if she continued on this very late night, it will likely be very dangerous. So he decided to rest tonight.

“Hahh this is the first time I went out so late. Back when I was with my mom and dad if I came back in the afternoon I would still be scolded, and when I'm with Yoshiaki if I go skip dinner maybe I will get angry and punishment even though the penalty is not too heavy”

Suddenly Kimiko's face became soft, she unconsciously spoke that sentence, for some reason but the words suddenly came out of her mouth.

“I miss you so much Yoshiaki” muttered Kimiko

“Can we be together again as a family? You, me and our son”

“If you think about it maybe I am a very cruel person, I separated you from Prian even you still have never seen and carried your son. Even I'm cruel to Prian because I keep lying to him if he doesn't have a father, you see even what I'm doing is more heinous than anything. I had no other choice, I had to do it to protect Prian, if anyone else knows Prian is your son I'm afraid he's in danger and yet again we're in a very distant place. If you hate me hicks.hiks you have the right to do it, because what I do is very cruel. I failed to be a mother and wife to Prian and you..Hiks..hiks..”

Kimiko recalled again about the news that Yoshiaki is now changing completely, well this is also his fault all this is his fault.

“Even you changed because of me, I really was like a demon right? Hiks.hiks”

“But I promise that I will meet you later, even if you will be angry, hate me or forget me. I don't care, I just want Yoshiaki to see her biological son and Prian be with her father, whatever I do. It's all my fault, I'm too scared to lose Prian until I don't trust you if you're gonna protect me forever. I really suck, don't I? Hiks hiks hiks”

Kimiko recalled Yoshiaki, making her heart feel claustrophobic and broken whenever she thought of Yoshiaki's condition changing because of her.

“But for now I have to do something very important, Zen is the one who saved me and it was fitting that I return his kindness all along. Whatever happens I must immediately find Zen and bring him back to the palace.” Kimiko then wiped away the tears that were still standing in her eyes.

“I must not cry at a time like this, I must be brave and believe if I can save him. I will return the favor to Zen even if this is not how much good he gives. I'll save her no matter what happens” Kimiko said.

The sun had awakened and tried to reveal itself, now the sunlight began to shine on the world that was once pitch black.

“ ugh.”

Kimiko woke up from her sleep, apparently sleeping quite well.

“Early morning ya” Kimiko wake up and stand up from this sitting sleeping position

He then walked to a lake not far from him.

He then washed his face with the lake water, lucky that the lake water did not come from the spring source, so it was safe to use.

“This water is fresh once” Kimiko said as she felt the freshness of the water on her face.

“This place is quite quiet and rarely people pass through it, I think it will be safe if I take a shower here”

Kimiko also intends to clean her body, she took off all her clothes and soaked in the lake.

“Truly refresh” Kimiko said

Kimiko did not want to waste much time, as soon as possible she cleaned her body and put on her clothes again.

“I've wasted enough time I have to hurry” Kimiko continued her journey to the source of the spring visited by Zen where she disappeared in that place as well.

Kimiko began to continue her journey towards the source of the spring, she accelerated her steps so as to arrive as soon as possible but then suddenly..
