The Rising Sun

31

The sound of the roar resounded from a distance. Be honest since morning. I sat in the middle of the room. In a chair without a backrest. Meanwhile, the servants surrounded me. They styled my hair. Polishing my face with a brush. I felt a heavy burden on my head when a Crown was placed there.

Royal bride Garduete. I touched my wedding ring with Prince Sera which I still wear today. Worries possessing me. I want to stop all this silliness. But my common sense forbids me. The only hope that can save this child is to return to my former world. To relieve the tension that occurred, Arana had to marry a woman who so hated her. He sacrificed himself to secure the kingdom and this child. The King and Queen Argueda have given me the blessing to remarry. They came last night and talked to me directly. According to them this marriage was the best to save the royal bloodline.

I don't know how I feel like a pet cow and not a human being. It is only needed to produce offspring. I remember my marriage to Prince Sera in order to save Prince Rianam and now I'm married to Prince Riana to save the child in my womb.

Is this what we call karma ?. I shake my head not thinking too much about it.

"Daughter, if the Princess is hungry, We provide snacks for the Princess" said a waiter as he placed a tray of fresh fruits and cakes. "Whatever the princess wants to eat, let me peel"

"no need. I'm not hungry" I refused.

"The wedding ceremony will last all day. If the Princess does not eat, pity the baby in the womb Princess"

I sighed. Right too, I can't possibly torture the child in my womb with my grief. "Then I want to eat that mango"

"Well Princess I'll be ready soon"

I received a small plate of mango that had been peeled. I didn't want to eat anything but the child in my stomach was moving actively as if protesting my hunger strike.

"Yuki's..You're ready" Lekky showed up in formal attire. He looks different. Like a Honorable Nobility.

"Yes.." I said in an unconvinced tone.

"I don't approve of this marriage, but it's the only way to protect that child. If I take him to the Darmount family, he'll get a hard education as a murderer. Trust me you won't want it"

"I knew. It just feels like dejavu. I married by agreement"

"Borendo knows your pregnancy. He's investigating why you're the one the Devil's after. It's better for you not to be in this world for a while. At least Arana can be more focused to face Boredo"

Lekky reached out. I accept it with great doubt. The servants followed Us as We stepped. Towards the wedding altar.

The dancers dance in the middle of the room. The music sounded quite loud, as if stomping into the ears. The king sat in his singasan while holding Nara. He did not hesitate to show his affection for Nara in public.

"Thank you" Prince Riana said calmly.

I was again led to sit in front of the King and Queen Mother. Meanwhile the King and Queen Jafar sat on the other side of the room. I saw tears on Queen Jafar's face. His expression showed a kind of unwillingness, yet He could do nothing to prevent it. Prince Riana sat beside me. Then the wedding ceremony started.

I followed the marriage procession as well as my endorsement as the future Queen Prince Riana if He became King. The Prince did not comment when He saw the wedding ring I was still wearing, He put up a bracelet as a sign that We have officially become husband and wife. After everything is done. I took the Horse carriage with Prince Riana and the wedding retinue. We surrounded the capital to first welcome the people as lawful husband and wife.

The cheers of the people were heard all over the road that We passed. I was relieved when we finally returned to Prince Riana's palace.

The servants helped me take off my thick and heavy wedding dress. The crown that made my neck hurt was finally released from my head. I took a shower and changed clothes. I'm wearing a long-sleeved nightgown. After all is done I'm heading to the Prince's room. He was with Nara. Nara seemed to be very happy while playing with the Prince. He heard her cheerful laughter.

"I asked the waiter to let Nara sleep with us" I said at last trying to explain why Nara was in the room right now.

"Yes..He deserves a moment to gather with his parents"

"Thank you Prince for understanding. By the way if later I can bring Nara into that world. I've been separated from Nara for a long time. It's safe for him anyway"

"Gererou will go there. He came to me and asked me to ask him to protect the child in your womb when you left him there"

I did not expect Gererou to be so loyal to Prince Sera. He rejected the high position offered by Prime Minister Borendo and chose to remain loyal to Prince Sera.

"alright. So what about Nara"

"We can take her"

"We ?" I don't understand.

"Do you think I'll let my wife wander alone in the world there. What if you meet your ex-lover there what's his name ?. Raymond"

I blinked at Prince Riana. I didn't think he remembered that name. I only called it once when we were playing bottle round at the Voldermon Nobles house back then.
