The Rising Sun

8 Yuki's

"Think about Yuki. Your situation is not safe now. You can lose your life" Prince Riana said as if she could read what I was thinking. He strongly opposed my desire to go to Argueda. He knew the chances of me surviving were very small.

The kingdom of Argueda wants my death. They want me to be buried alive with Prince Sera to atone for all my sins with him. I have no intention of defending anything. In fact, Prince Sera died because of me.

"The prince himself told me that the life of the kingdom would be very hard. I can feel like I'm alone without anyone in the crowd. Every time I face danger from various directions that can kill me at any time. There's no wiggle room. You don't know if your friend or your enemy is with you. Know Prince...Now I'm beginning to understand what you're saying" I said softly.

"It's good that you understand it" the Prince touched Nara's hair and rubbed it gently. "You're pretty sure I can take care of Nara, but you're wrong Yuki. I couldn't keep Nara alone despite the many servants and bodyguards I gave her"

The prince looked at me with indisputable decisiveness. "There will be many dangers in his life until he can take care of himself enough. He will only have his parents. You mustn't ignore this fact"

"Don't use Nara to manipulate me" I said annoyedly.

"Manipulating?, Now look at Nara..Look at Him..and ask your heart, Can you leave him ?"

"Stop" Refuse me. Nara moves in my arms. He seemed surprised by my loud words. He heard his crying again. I patted Nara trying to calm her down.

"You can't just think of yourself. Now you're a mother. I'm just asking you to realize that"

The prince patted Nara's head slowly, He then walked away and did not turn around again.

I hugged Nara. The Prince's words made me angry. The reason is that what He says contains the truth. I know Prince is right, Nara needs me as a mother. But, How can I live my life with this guilt that I have to bear. I have to take responsibility for Argueda.

I feel a dilemma. On one side was Nara on the other there was a deep gabbing guilt in my heart. To be a poison that affects my life in such a way.

"I'm sorry Mama...I'm sorry Mama" I whispered to Nara. His sobs were clearly heard in my ears. I'm driving Nara a little far away so I can see her. Nara laughs. I like his smile. To me, she is the most beautiful baby in the world. He became my comforter who was able to divert my grief.

Tomorrow I must follow Prince Sera to Argueda. Lekky was still unconscious but the Holy Priest guaranteed his safety here. Nara will be escorted by Cicilia, Lazzar's wife to return to Garduete with Ferlay. I'd be more calm if Nara was with Cicilia. At least he's in safe hands.

"You're my mama's most handsome boy." Lightweight rifle. I'm holding Nara. Hugging her warmly while singing a lullaby to her.

"Please Princess Yuki sit down" I sat across the table opposite an old man. But even though He is old with a frail body, I can see He still has a smart brain to think. That person looked at me with a sneaky lightning that was trying to be hidden by him. Curly was behind me. He whispered all the things the man thought to me.

"I'm both here for the death of Prince Sera, Princess' Husband"

"Thank you" I said carefully.

Prince Sera has met with this man several times. The prince did not explain much about it but He said clearly that this person was as cunning as a snake.

"Thank you Prime Minister Borendo"

Prime Minister Borendo was a man of great influence among the royal army. He was a formidable warlord before switching paths as a prime minister. Having a smart brain, just unfortunately not used in the right way.

He was eager to increase his power in Argueda. Hope to be included in the royal family. That way He can control and shift the Kings he does not like.

She was the main brain that influenced Princess Alena (read the Morning Dew series "Win Direction") to kill me. For the sake of his power he could take advantage of his nephew's love. To make his nephew darken his eyes of jealousy so determined to plot murder against me.

Unfortunately, when Princess Alena was arrested, Prime Minister Borendo was still free because the Prince did not have strong evidence to accuse her. He sacrificed his niece to die in the royal court.

"It's been a long time that I've actually wanted to meet the Princess. Princesses are as pretty as what people talk about"

"People overestimate what they see and hear, causing false perceptions for others. For something like this, I'm sure you're very familiar with what I mean" Sindirku tried to remind him of Princess Nadira's case.

Prime Minister Boredo smiled. I was very uncomfortable being around him. There's something I think is wrong with him.

She is like the combination between Princess Marsha and Rafael (Read Morning Dew series: Water Ripple). A vengeful, Cunning and sadistic.

"In addition to being beautiful you are also smart But I have a suggestion for you Princess" the Prime Minister leaned over as he looked at me with an harassing look. "Don't let your cleverness bring danger to yourself. Especially the words that came out of the Princess' mouth. It's best to take care of it before something goes wrong"
