The Rising Sun

18

"Kill Them all" Queen Warda's orders were loud. Queen Warda's troops assisted Prince Riana and her noble friends advanced. Claira pulls Princess Magitha. But because Princess Magitha kept rebelling. He thrust a sword at Princess Magitha. There was the cry of the Queen who called Princess Magitha in a hysterical tone.

I could only lie helplessly where I watched Princess Magitha collapse on the ground with a sword thrust into her stomach.

Prince Riana came forward. He's approaching Claira.

"Is a noble Prince like you able to kill a Princely Lady ?" Claira said with a face as if she knew no fear.

Unexpectedly, the Prince immediately approached Claira without hesitation and immediately strangled Claira with one hand. Claira who had not expected the Prince would act like that thrashed. Trying to break away.

"Whoever annoys my wife, I will not hesitate to kill her with my own hands even if it is a woman"

Claira's face turned blue. The flat-faced prince raised Claira with one hand into the air until Claira's feet did not touch the ground.

Then, I saw blood coming out of Claira's nose and mouth. Then immediately he was silent. Not move. Both of his hands fell on his sides. His eyes were glaring yet not soulful.

He's been dead.

The prince removed his hand from Claira's lifeless neck. Claira's body fell on the ground.

Prince Riana did not show a sorry face. He put on a face without expression when he saw Claira. Then the Prince turned around and immediately picked me up.

I feel I'm safe.

I put my head on his shoulder. Closing my eyes as dizziness strikes me from losing a lot of blood. Soon after, I was unconscious.

I woke up and found myself lying on the bed sideways. Prince Riana was beside me. He fell asleep next to me. One hand was holding my wrist. The pain felt in my back.

Where I'm at.

We are not in the palace of the King nor the Palace of Prince Arana. This room, is a regular resident's room. The walls are made of wood and woven bamboo arranged in such a way. In this room all the furniture is made of simple wood. Even the glass is made of clay.

I'm trying to move. But it woke Prince Riana. His hand suddenly blocked my wrist firmly before He opened his eyes.

"Sorry to wake you up" I said. Silent prince. Not answering. From his expression I knew He was angry with me because I had escaped from the palace without his knowledge.

I'm trying to get up. With great difficulty I sat down. It's so dark outside. There were only oil lamps suspended in such a way in some places. Where we really are.

"What happened" I asked as I received the water that Prince Riana gave me.

"You fainted after losing a lot of blood. The Queen sent you here to hide from Prime Minister Boredo and the kingdom"

"Kingdom ?" I don't understand.

"Lekky has killed Commander Aljan. With his history in Argueda lacking, He is now a fugitive. You were considered a traitor because of your closeness to Lekky and you ran Magitha the night before her wedding. Now you're also considered a fugitive. Your head is held in high esteem by the kingdom of Argueda"

"But..." I looked at Prince Riana bangtung. "The queen was there when it happened"

I'm speechless. I tried to hide my pregnancy from Prince Riana. But it seems he already knows.

The prince blocked my hand. Surprised me. "I don't care whose kid it is. As long as the child comes from your womb I'll take care of him like my own son"

"But Garduete will not allow this child to exist" I said. "For them this child is a threat"

"I've thought of everything. Trust me. I'll do my best for you"

I took my hand off her.

"You doubt me"

"Where's Lekky ?" I tried to shift the subject. I don't want him to talk about feelings anymore. I can't possibly marry her. I'm not the Yuki He used to know.

In my heart is Prince Sera who inhabits a place that cannot be filled by him.

"He disappeared after killing Aljan"

Lekky must have gone to his wife's funeral. I'll call him later.

"Then what about Princess Magitha"

"He's in the next room"

"Is He okay ?"

"Tomorrow You'll see for yourself" I shuffled down. The prince again blocked my hand. "Where are you going"

"I want to see Princess Magitha"

"You're almost dead but you still care about other people"

"Bring me to see it"

Prince scolded. He then inched down to help me walk towards the exit. Every time I step, the pain in my back hurts me. I forced myself to keep going. But I stopped. When looking at the open window. Princess Magitha is kissing the Nobles of Asry. They seemed so absorbed that they were unaware of our presence. I turned my face away. Can't stand to see their affection.

"You're satisfied ?" Ask the Prince beside me.

"Bring me back inside. I beg you"

The prince didn't pick me up this time. He immediately held me in his chest. His heartbeat was in my ear. I still remember when this hand that hugged me choked Claira coldly. The prince had absolutely no doubts even though the one he killed was a woman.

He put on a cold and unfriendly face when he killed Claira.
