The Rising Sun

52

Is that why He gathered all the people I love here.

As a gift to me.

If it's true I'm very grateful to him. I'm grateful that I can see them all at the end of my life.

Looks happy...

Raymond shifted his seat toward me. I patted the back of his hand. Tranquilize. Trying to get rid of his sadness.

"Thank you for all this time..." I'm lirih. I feel very sleepy. I close my eyes and fall asleep. I tried desperately to endure that drowsiness. It seems to consume all my energy.

I felt Raymond's shoulder shake. She cried. "You want to meet him ?"

I'm silent. Turning my eyes away, staring into the street at the corner of the park. Instead of finding the figure of Prince Riana. I saw Prince Sera. Stand up quietly. A soft smile adorned his lips. I know it's real. It wasn't a dream that had graced my day since his departure.

So this is really my time...

I know I'm dying. But I was strong and forced all my abilities to come here. Because I know I can meet my Children, My Family and Prince Riana.

"Take Yourself and Them. I know I owe you a lot all this time" I said softly. "You can do it..This is my last request ?"

"If in this life I cannot have you. I wish for another life...We can be together...Will you remember me Yuki" whispered Raymond. I opened my eyes that were closed.

"I don't know.." I can't promise her anything. I don't want Him to hope in empty wishful thinking.

Prince Sera started walking. Slowly. Approaching me

No one sees his presence as clearly as I see it. He was as I remembered him in my dreams.

Sleek body, Golden blonde hair and Sea blue eyes. My heart feels warm. I know this is Him.

I'm taking a breath.

The prince extended his hand. I'mwatching.

When Our Hands touch. I was standing in front of him.

From the reflection of Prince Sera's eyeballs, I saw my young self. Not my forty years old self.

"I miss you so much" that's the word that comes out of my lips. Prince Sera smiled. He extended a hand. Groom my cheeks softly.

"Thank you. You've managed to do all your duties well"

I don't know what to say. There were many hardships and tears that I experienced after his death. A long and exhausting sacrifice. Success is not without pain.

I looked back. Where my body rests helplessly on Raymond's shoulder. She hugged me. It was obvious that he was holding back tears.

Noble Voldermon who knew something was wrong, ran over immediately to me. "What's up..What's going on"

"My airs..Yuki.." The nobleman Voldermon pulled my hand. For a moment he was silent. Release hand. Take two steps back.

"Mama...Mama.." Nara replaced the Count of Voldermon. He touched my wrist. Looking for my pulse.

"Ma..." Calling lirih. I watched my children who were aware of my death. They're crying. Prince Arana made a gesture of respect.

I looked at them all one by one. Praying for Them before I actually go from before Them. Lekky appeared suddenly. Stand like a statue. Not giving any expression. Flat. Hollowly.

Ferlay near him tried to be tough.

I held Prince Sera's hand. My job is done. I have carried out my duty. Give birth to four proud children.

Nara was my first child. Very similar to his father. Hard-headed and cold. Because of his resemblance, he barely got along so well with his father.

Alviandra my second son. My son and Prince Sera. Has a softness of heart like his father. He will be able to take care of Nara who is opposite to him.

Hazel my third son is more likely to be open. She would probably trouble her two brothers with her defiant nature. He has great loyalty to his brother.

Claire..He tends to be naive and innocent. Like me first. Prince Riana had to go to great lengths to set it up. He will take care of his three brothers. I hope his love story with Ferlay will end well in the future. Either Ferlay's gonna be his girlfriend or like my relationship with Raymond. Friends who look after each other.

Sounded like steps approaching. Prince Riana finally appeared. "No..Yuki..." The prince grabbed me. "You promised to stand by me. Back...!!!!"

"He's waiting for you every day. You are ********.." Raymond was upset.

"He deliberately alienated Yuki, because the palace situation endangers Yuki. He had not contacted Yuki all this time to trick the enemy who was targeting Yuki as a target of fire to overthrow Riana" Voldermon explained quickly.

This is the first time I've seen Prince Riana cry out her grief. She hugged me. Shaken my body. Wish I'd wake up again.

I leaned over to touch her. But I can't touch it. Our world is different.

"Take care of yourself" I mean it.

I straightened my body. There were bells from a distance.

"It's time for Yuki, we have to go"

I nodded my head. Receiving Prince Sera's hand. The Holy Priestess who was able to see us nodded her farewell. I smiled as a sign of gratitude.

We walk towards the light that guides us to leave this world. When we enter the light. I turned my face away, the last time I saw the people I loved.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company any longer...Thank you for all this time.hopefully in the next life...We can meet in a better situation than we are now...."

May Prince Riana hear my message...

Thanks.goodbye....
