His afternoon...
We finally decided to go home after the sun was leaning further west. We also brought some fruits of heaven as a hand to the palace. The taste of this fruit of heaven has never changed since I tasted it. It is sweet and delicious too. To the extent that Rain and I ate five pieces together. Our stomachs are full because of it.
I am on my way back to the palace. Down the hill of the tree of heaven, through the surrounding forest, up to a third of the way to the palace. It feels like time is passing so quickly with Rain. We also make good memories by creating jokes and laughter. Until I forget we'll be apart soon.
It's hard to part with a loved one. Same with what I feel right now. But, I cannot reveal because it will only incriminate his departure. If I could come, I would definitely go with him. But the thing is, what if the people of the country need me while I'm far away? Maybe I should enjoy this wait in my heart. God and I know how this feels.
"Rain."
"Hm?"
"About one country how long have you been training?" I leaned my back on his body.
"Fast three months, Ara. I also brought a lot of soldiers there." Rain explained while looking at me. He kept putting his horse.
I knew a long time would go on without him. If one country takes three months at the earliest, it means ten countries take thirty months without a break. It's the same two and a half years I left behind.
God, is there any other way I can stay with him?
I thought to myself thinking about this. It feels like I can't live it. But how about it, I can't do anything either. I can't imagine what's going to happen in the future. Not married to Cloud alone, Cloud has already shown her ownership over me. Especially if we're married, I doubt she'll allow me to get close to Rain. Cloud is so much more sensitive than this rain.
"Fine."
"Yes?"
"Help me protect this country. Can, right?" A meaningful message I received from him.
"He-it." I'm nodding. I know what tasks I'll take on after this.
Rain then stuck his head in my head. I also enjoyed the warm breath that hit the surface of this cheek. I also rubbed his face from the side. And I saw how brave and mighty my rain was. He was indeed worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the Space Kingdom. His authority and charisma are second to none. And I think my body will miss her warmth.
Eh? Whatisit?
I unintentionally saw a black shadow moving swiftly over the hill we passed. I looked back to see what I saw. However, the speed of the horse made me unable to see clearly. Rain was aware of it.
"Why Honey?" askinya.
I'm still looking back to make sure my eyesight is right. Not knowing why, I felt a little riled up after seeing that black shadow. My feeling is that something is happening in the palace. Whether true or not, I think I should go home soon.
"Rain, I just saw a black shadow moving rapidly over the hill. Is there an intruder?" ask her.
Rain then stopped his horse. Black immediately braked his footsteps. Black curled up and we stopped. At the same time I stared around filled with tall trees. I feel like what I saw was not a hallucination.
"I didn't see anything, Ara." Rain turned his horse, staring around the road back to the palace.
"Did something happen, huh?" askau.
"You feel that way?" Rain asked me.
"alright. Then let's speed up our return to the palace." Rain immediately put his horse back on.
I don't know if what I'm seeing is true or not. But I hope everything's okay. I'm just a normal human being who can sometimes go wrong. Especially in times like this that will soon be left behind. But there was no harm in proving the truth that I saw earlier to quickly return to the palace. I hope nothing happens there.
Arriving at the palace...
We entered the back gate of the palace. And I saw many horses were lined up. The soldiers had gathered as if they were waiting for the next order. I don't know why or what. However, Rain ended up asking one of his troops directly.
"What is this?!" Rain was so shocked by the soldiers who were marching without orders from him.
"I'm sorry, Prince Rain. Prince Cloud ordered us to be on standby to guard the palace" said one of the troops.
"Ready on alert?"
Rain astonished. Then he realized something. He rushed into the palace through the back door. I followed him too. At that time I only realized if Cloud had returned to Space. Rain did not tell me at all. I don't know why.
Then I continued to follow Rain's footsteps towards the second floor of this palace. And I saw ministers lined up near the stairs. Their faces were like they were harboring worries. It was also then that a black shadow appeared again in my mind.
"Ouch!"
I held my own head because I felt pain. Fortunately, I reached the second floor of the palace. Don't know why I feel so dizzy. I also did not heed Rain who was asking the ministers. To stand alone I had a hard time.
What's actually going on?
Shortly afterwards I heard Rain startled. He was shocked to hear one of the ministers. I approached him immediately.
"Rain, what's wrong?"
I painstakingly set foot near him. I finally realized what was going on at the palace.
"Prince Rain, please calm down. The court healers are trying to figure out the cause. The palace physician asked all of us to calm down. Because if there is panic, it will make it harder to get the answer." The Minister of the Interior, Count asked Rain not to panic.
Rain shook his head. He then immediately climbed the stairs to the third floor of the palace. Let me be with the ministers here.
"Minister Count, what's the matter?" I started to panic.
The middle-aged man seemed reluctant to say what was going on at this time. Other ministers appeared silent. But finally, the Secretary of Defense told me.
"Miss, the current King of Sky is unconscious. He was being handled by the court physicians. His Majesty has just returned from Asia. But when he got here, His Majesty fell unconscious. Please calm down and don't panic." The Defence Minister named Dave said.
"Handled?" I was surprised too.
"Yes, Miss. His Majesty is suspected of being poisoned" Dave continued.
"What?!!" I was also surprised to hear it.
I immediately set foot towards the third floor of the palace quickly up the stairs. I don't care anymore about the dizziness that's hitting my head. I want to know the truth myself. I think it still has something to do with what I saw on the way home. But how did this happen?
