The Bungsu Princess Inferior

70. Sleep with Nala

"Your Majesty," Balin's voice made me open my eyes.

I was in front of an old building that looked unkempt, what is this? why do I keep moving tonight beyond my own will?

"Your Majesty since I can't find any vacant land in the center of the city, I chose to buy some buildings, Your Majesty can destroy and build what Your Majesty wants."

I unconsciously wiped my lips that felt a little wet, "uhm, well thank you Balin."

"Your Majesty looks tired, we'd better go back so His Majesty can rest."

I nodded in agreement, my energy really felt drained today. Balin seemed to understand what I was thinking, this time he seemed to activate his portal for me, "please Your Majesty."

I entered and closed my eyes, the Balin portal felt very stable and quickly led me to the front of the room, wait isn't this my room in the palace? I looked at Balin questioningly.

"Have a good rest, Your Highness," Balin bowed respectfully and left me for granted.

I gave up and chose to enter the room, as soon as I headed straight to the hot spring pool. I took off all the clothes that were attached and immersed myself in the cozy warm water. A sense of habit spread throughout my body, removing the inherent fatigue. I leaned my back against the wall of the pond and closed my eyes, the creeping silence gave an unparalleled tenacity.

"Kreeek," the sound of the door being shifted made me open my eyes, I rushed out of the pool and put on a nightgown with magic. I set my feet towards the bedroom, the door seemed to have closed perfectly, but my eyes caught a body on the bed.

"Come Aira, I miss you!"

"Sir Nala?" I got closer to the bed and found my first brother lying down while closing his eyes, his elegance undeniable.

"What's going on? Why did you lie down on my bed?" I wonder because since marriage, Sister Nala has never behaved like this.

"I'm going to sleep with you tonight" she said in a sleepy voice, looking as if she was yawning. "Come and sleep," Sister Nala shifted her body on my big bed, she gave me some space lying beside her.

I followed his wish and lay down beside him, instantly my smile expanded. Memories of the past suddenly came to greet me, when I was a child, sister Nala often slept with me, accompanying me who was afraid to sleep alone in the spacious residence. Nala never refused when I knocked on her door and asked her to accompany me, but that was long before Nala got married. Since getting married I understand that his main priority is his small family, Aditya, Agam and Agler.

"Oh, what about Aditya's sister?" I asked as if I had just realized, were they fighting? What the hell's going on?

"Stop thinking, your brother went to pick up Agam and Agler." Nala's sister squirms, she grabs the bolster and hugs him tightly, "it's likely they'll be until tomorrow morning."

"I miss my twin niece so much" I can't wait to see Agam and Agler. They are twins but very different, Agam tends to be silent and serious, while Agler can not be silent. "It doesn't feel like almost a year we haven't seen them, has it?"

I laughed without a sound, of course, the calmness that had been going to disappear immediately with the presence of the twins, especially Agler who likes to act, and Kak Nala needed extra energy to deal with both. Their age is only seven years adrift of me, others who do not know often mistakenly consider us brothers when walking together. During the past year Agam and Agler had been attending Master Yang's camp, they were exploring the empire to learn many things directly from Master Yang.

"Isn't it usually Teacher who always takes you home?" I asked to remember Teacher who brought me home.

"Yes, but it seems that Teacher Yang has something to take care of so he asks Aditya to pick up the kids."

"Ah so apparently," I nodded weakly.

"I guess I admit you chose a great young man," Nala opened her eyes, her hands stretched out rubbing my hair over and over. "Time passed so quickly, I could not believe that my little brother who used to be so humble that he always cried in secret, now had a prince who was willing to sacrifice his life for his happiness," kak Nala's hand went down from my hair to my cheek.

"I'm lucky to have it, right?" I said I was a little proud of Varen.

Nala's sister clucked a little, "the fight is not over, you know it won't be easy."

Brother Nala blinked her eyes, "i still remember Aditya who almost fainted when facing father for the first time, hahaha!"

"I can only wish him all the best, brother, isn't this unfair?" I asked to look at Kak Nala who was now tilting her body towards me, still hugging the bolster.

Sister Nala silently looked at me, asking me to continue, while the sound of rainwater spatter began to sound in my ears. The smell of wet soil I love makes tonight feel meaningful.

"Varen had to go through a lot of tests to get me, but I wasn't tested at all, wasn't this unfair? Though come to think of it, I'm the lucky one to have Varen, but why would he even have to try so hard?" ask again.

"Who said you weren't tested? You just don't realize you're being tested." Brother Nala smiled at me, "Aira, for 17 years you lived without talent, but you just think of it as a part of you that was born as an ordinary human being without talent and accepted it with the air and sometimes had to cry silently, I know at that time you tried very hard to learn everything you can so that you can live a useful life even without talent, at that time I could not even look at you too long, because my tears will drip if I do."

Nala sighed deeply, "even when you gave you a test before you were 17, you took it as a punishment for disrespecting the people, now that you've revealed to me that you're not given the same test as Varen, do you know if the problem is yourself?"

"Me?" I was wondering, why am I the problem?

Brother Nala nodded, "yes, you're Aira. You always think of others before yourself. You always care about others and sometimes ignore yourself. You're too independent to make room for anyone else around you."

"Know Aira, not everything you have to solve yourself. We're right next to you because we're ready for you all the time." Sister Nala looked me straight in the eye, "if the responsibility on your shoulders makes your steps even heavier, say so that we can help you, don't just shut up and make yourself hurt, there are already many wounds on your body, there are already many wounds on your body, don't make us cry because it doesn't give us a way to help you."

I smiled, but my heart was warm, I knew that Nala was trying to convey that she loved me very much and would always be there when I needed her, not even just her, unfortunately the whole family will do the same, but I really want to get things done on my own while I can, I don't want to put unnecessary burden on them, I will only love them and give them happiness, but not sadness or problems that I cannot solve, because I know that if I am not as good as them then I must try harder, instead of hanging on to them without trying, because I hate lazy people.
