The Prince's Beloved Servant

Princess Hilda Drowned

Yuri stood for quite a long time in front of the main library building of the kingdom. According to Aire who had been present in his dream, the book he had to get was in there. A book that can bring him back to the real world with the help of the recluse Yahzen.

"The yellow book is a lotus flower" he murmured. He was remembering his dream.

Yuri was still thinking of a way to get in there. The place was guarded by many palace guards. He could not carelessly act if he did not want to die in vain.

Yuri could only sigh. It seemed like tonight he could only look at that place. The night was late and he had to return to his room immediately. If the butler knew, he would definitely be punished.

The moon was shining brightly. The sky also looks bright with stars. The palace is so luminous. Yuri felt lucky to be able to stay within such a grand palace. At least it could be his memories before returning to the real world.

"If I make it back to the real world, maybe I'll just be a novelist. I'm going to share my very unreal life with people."

Yuri walked through the back area of the library. His gaze continued to look around as if he was looking for who knew there was a secret path. Only certain elves were allowed to enter the library, such as the family and relatives of the king as well as the nobles of the palace. Unfortunately, there was no suspicious path they found.

Failing tonight, he became limp and uninspired. As he passed through the lotus pond, his steps came to a halt. After a week in the palace, she finally saw Princess Hilda return.

As always, she always looks beautiful. It was only natural that her beauty would make every woman envious. Moreover, Princess Hilda is a woman who was finally chosen by the Prince himself as his companion.

Remembering the prince, he felt guilty towards Hilda. The prince gave love to her, a feeling that should have been received by Hilda, not her.

He took something out of his pocket. Yuri still keeps the hair ornaments Hilda gave her. Peacock ornaments are said to be believed to be the bearer of luck. Hilda has two peacock ornaments, which means that luck has been divided into two.

Byurs!

"Princess Hilda ...."

"Mr Princess .... "

"Please .. please ...."

Suddenly the mood became boisterous. Two servants who were with Princess Hilda shouted hysterically breaking the silence of the night. Yuri was surprised by what happened. Princess Hilda seemed to be plunged into the pond at a time when the situation was quite quiet. In a hurry he ran to where Princess Hilda fell.

Yuri threw herself into the pool while the two maids kept screaming and yelling. He dived into the pool chasing Princess Hilda who was sinking to the bottom. Holding his breath, he slammed deeper, reaching for Princess Hilda's hand. The woman seemed to be deliberately throwing herself away.

'Do you want to die? Don't tell me you want to kill yourself, stupid Hilda!'

Yuri pulled Princess Hilda's body up quickly. The woman had drunk too much pool water. Finally, with great effort, Yuri managed to bring Princess Hilda out of the water.

Two servants helped pull Princess Hilda to the edge. The woman fell unconscious, making her two ladies panic and could only cry.

Yuri was still trying to catch her breath. He's exhausted. With the rest of his strength still present, he crawled closer towards Princess Hilda, hoping that the woman could survive.

"Mr Princess .. breathe!" Yuri tried to press Princess Hilda's chest so that the water that was being consumed could come out. It seemed that she did not want the good Princess Hilda to end her life in such a way.

'Hilda .. I will help you be happy, but wake up! You can't die!' he said in his heart.

The man charged forward, even getting rid of Yuri who was trying to help. The man replaced Yuri with first aid. The man even gave a helping breathing to Princess Hilda without a second thought.

Yuri could see the deep worry the man before her felt. Not the crown prince, but rather another man who could only express his feelings through actions. He recalled the contents of the novel he read. A sincere man loves Hilda without being able to have her, Heiji, son of Azof.

If Heiji follows the journey of love to Hilda, everyone will be carried away on a story of sacrifice in the name of love. Heiji will die to save Hilda during the great war in the elven kingdom.

"Uhuk! Uhuk!"

Yuri breathed a sigh of relief seeing Princess Hilda finally awaken after spewing water that was swallowed by her. With my eyes, he looked at the people around him.

Heiji still held Hilda in worry. Meanwhile, the servants cried to see the princess they were serving.

"What are you doing? Why did it fall?" heiji asked worriedly."

"Mr Princess wants to pluck the lotus flower, Mister. Forgive us for not being able to take good care of the Princess." One of the servants cried while trying to explain what happened.

Hilda raised her hand, gesturing for Yuri to come closer.

Yuri followed the princess's will. He moved closer towards Hilda. "Mr Princess, I'm glad you survived" he said.

Princess Hilda clasped Yuri's hand. He smiled at him. "Your name is Yuri, right?" ask Hilda.

"Yes, Princess. Do you still remember me?" Yuri was so surprised to hear Hilda mention her name.

"How could I forget you. You used to help me, too," he said.

In fact, they had met a few years ago when Yuri was still working at the residence of the Jansen family. At that time, Yuri's face was still ugly, but Hilda still recognized him.

"I didn't expect we'd see each other again here" Hilda said in a still limp tone.

"Daughter, you must rest and restore your condition. If it's too long outside you can get sick." Heiji lifted Hilda's body in his carriage.

"Both of you, please keep this incident a secret. Let no one know, especially the Crown Prince," Hilda told her servants.

"Well, Princess," said the two compact servants.

Heiji brought Hilda back into the palace building for the princess accompanied by her two servants. Yuri saw Hilda smiling at him. He could feel for himself how kind a heart Hilda was. After Hilda left, Yuri's body was instantly unsteady. It seems he has no power anymore.

His feelings are fucked. He no longer knows what to do. His involvement in the story changed the story so much. He has ruined the love story between the prince and Hilda. For a moment he thought maybe his destiny to die was the best. Because, after he died, the love story of the prince and Hilda went smoothly.

"What should I do?" muttered.
