The Rising Sun

41

I feel dizzy. Is Raymond bound to me like Prince Sera and Prince Riana ?. Rafael knew this and took advantage of it. That's palpable. How to meet Rafael and lure him out of his shelter. I sat in front of the computer that was on. My hand knocked on the table, trying to think before finally moving up the keyboard.

I wrote "Princess General Hito" in the search field. Not long after the photos appeared. What a pretty girl. Black hair wavy. Have firm and indisputable eyes. Poisonous and stubborn. There are some pictures of him with Raymond. The public thinks they are a couple. One article says they are engaged. There is a picture of them standing together at a banquet. The girl looked at Raymond with a big smile, I saw eyes full of adoration inside the girl. Reminds me of Princess Marsha.

But instead, Raymond looked ordinary. He was impressed and did not care. How could this happen.

I noticed again that General Hito's daughter named Amore. She is beautiful, her posture is model. Smart. But ruthless. Like Princess Marsha. From my four-eye talk with Phil. I found out Phil was involved with the black world in his youth. When he was a teenager he once entered a world of gangsters. I really didn't expect. Because such a thing does not appear in his everyday character. But in my life, I've gotten used to a lot of surprises. Whether it's fun or terrible. So I'm not being too extreme about it.

Their son's death had something to do with Amore and Raphael. Because they can't touch me they touch the people around me.

The only way to get close to Rafael is with Raymond. But I'm afraid Prince Riana will approve. But there's no other way.

I need to talk to him.

That night I just put Viandra to bed. After putting it in the baby box. Nara had been sleeping beside the Prince. Aunt Sheira said it's better I don't spoil the kids too much. They should be taught to be independent by sleeping in their own place. But I feel hard parting with them. I read once that children grow up fast. Often parents complain, They miss their grown children when they are home alone. I've lost a lot of time with my kids all this time, I don't want to lose any more. They are my treasures. I would exchange everything I had for them.

"If you do, are you ready to part with Viandra ?" Ask the Prince when I tell him my plan. I blinked. Surprised by the Prince's statement. Prince looked at. His hand placed the book on his lap.

"Your plan was indeed good Yuki. But after you met Rafael. What are you going to do ?. Invite him to sit down and have a coffee together and let Raymond know our identity ?"

"I'm..." I said confused. I didn't think about it at all.

Prince scolded. "I know you've been investigating them. But you've lived longer in this world, Yuki. You should understand that what appears in cyberspace is not always true."

I feel like an idiot. The distant prince could think of such a thing rather than Me.

"If we meet Rafael. It will not cover the possibility of our identity being exposed. In addition, there must have been a battle that caused casualties. We are here as ordinary people. There are laws and rules of their own. Now Rafael is in the upper class of society. If we kill him, we'll be chased by the police. We don't want to go back to our world. Because if we're here after something like that happens. It'll jeopardize your family."

I'm silent. If I fight Rafael I have to part with Viandra. I was only able to meet him after he was thirteen. Because of his plan, at his age the Prince would bring him back and send him to the place where the Prince had trained and raised as a child. The Prince thought at that age before this child was eighteen, when he could gain recognition as the Prince of Argueda and as well as the legal regent, he said, He already had to have the skills and knowledge of survival.

But if we don't overcome Rafael. It is likely that He will attack us first. It could be that I'm gonna lose more.

"What about Phil and Aunt Sheira ?"

"Rafael would not be foolish to touch Them at least blatantly. Phil quit his previous job a long time ago, but he didn't really stop. He has no followers now. But he has a strong connection. Rafael once touched his family, Phil's connection took care of him and warned him"

"How ?"

Prince smiles. "You saw his legs"

I nodded my head. Rafael walked a bit limped.

"It wasn't because of the previous battle"

"No. Phil's friend did it. They deformed his feet like that and pulled out some of Rafael's teeth. They still let him live out of respect for his in-laws. But if Rafael touches Phil once again. He'll be finished in a moment. But it's not Rafael if he doesn't find a way to touch Phil safely"

"Putery general Hito"

"Yes...She loves your ex-boyfriend. And hate you so much. Using it, Rafael can touch Phil without having to dirty his hands"

"We have to deal with it"

"And parted ways with the Viandra. Are you ready ?"

I was silent for a moment. Looked at Viandra sleeping in her baby box. My instincts tell me how I'm ready to part with him. But I have to protect her. Remove any danger that tries to attack him.

"Yes...I'm ready"
