I'm putting this head on the chest of the field. I felt her heartbeat so sweet. I felt guilty then too. But, it's all happened. And the three of us have come this far. It's impossible to leave Rain because I love her so much. And probably beyond my love for Cloud. But, I can't let go of Cloud either. Because he tied me up that night. Would I be greedy if I wanted both?
Maybe yes, maybe not. Depends on which point of view people judge it. This isn't in my world either. It's another earth that doesn't know where it is. I was invited to come here to work. But I actually got love too. Yes, the love of my two princes.
Sorry, Cloud. I can't choose. Because you're not an option.
I honestly can't choose. Because my choice would definitely hurt one of them. Both are equally meaningful in my life. So I try to be fair to them. And maybe this is the best way for us. The king himself made his decision. So I'm not heavy at all. I accept that decision even though there will be a lot of time taken to take care of both. It is the duty and responsibility of a wife.
"Mom!" Suddenly I heard Rain calling.
Rain?!
I was surprised too. Instantly my memory of what happened in the lake of love just disappeared.
"I'm looking for you, Ara. It turns out you're here." He immediately sat beside me.
"Rain, what's wrong? Why rush?" ask her.
Rain took his breath. He looks so tired. I gave him my drink too. And yes, he gulped it down. Without asking any more I still want to drink it or not.
"Huh .. You know it wasn't if mom took over the government now?" askinya.
I'm nodding.
"Mother asked me to go to Terusa tomorrow. He gave me a list of countries I should go to" Rain said.
"About the submission of the unification of the territory?" ask again.
"Yes." Yeah." Rain nodded. "Terusa is one of the countries that intend to unite his territory with Space. This is what Arthemis heard. And Arthemis doesn't like it." Rain narrates.
I'm thinking. "So you're saying he doesn't like being near Space's territory?" ask again.
"Yes, sure. Therefore, the mother made a decision without thinking. I don't understand why you can get this brave. Arthemis is a dangerous land for Space." Rain quoted a word of danger in front of me.
"Rain, please tell me how dangerous the country is." I asked him immediately.
Rain stared. Implied from his eyeballs like reluctant to tell me. But anyway I have to know. Moreover, at that time Zu had said if there was anything other than the cold war that occurred between Angkasa and Arthemis. That means there are still unresolved matters other than the territorial limits of the country.
"Rain." I asked him again, hoping he would tell me.
An impenetrable mystical power?
Suddenly the black shadow I saw on my way home with Rain came to my mind. I wonder if the shadow has anything to do with the mystical powers that Arthemis possesses? Until now I have not been able to ascertain who exactly is the cause of the king's fall. But I don't know why my hunch says that Arthemis is the mastermind.
I also became suspicious of Xi if she had a hand in this. But again, I can't be sure. My strength has not recovered. Even to enter my own subconscious I find it difficult.
"Ara, do you feel anything?" rain asked as he held my hand.
"Em, eh? Nothin. I'm just trying to hook it up" I replied, wanting to cover up.
I've met Xi. And that Xi is Yang, Zu's distant relative. The relationship between the two countries is good because of the bond of marriage. That meant that Zu also knew the true story of the conflict going on.
It is only fitting that he would not allow me to meet Xi at the palace. Maybe Zu didn't want Xi to see any Space residents coming there. Zu wants to protect me from Xi. Whether true or not, it seems like Zu has other intentions towards this.
"Ara, you're hiding something." Rain.
I swallowed spit. I felt like I couldn't lie to him. "Nothing, Rain. I just thought that if you went to Terusa, it would mean that only Cloud lives in the palace. The king has not yet fully recovered" I said.
"Only Cloud? You mean Ara? Don't you also live in the palace?" tanyanya immediately.
Ah, crap! I am stuck with my own words.
It was heart intent to cover up my meeting with Xi as well as my departure to the Land of Flowers, but it turned out that Rain had realized it instead. He was waiting for me to give a more specific answer.
"Pregnant?" He is still waiting for my answer.
Rain cannot be lied to. He always wanted to know right down to his roots. Wrong tell me a little, he will find out until it runs out about what and how. Proven by my words. He suspected me if I wasn't in the palace. If this is the case, what should I do?
"En, Rain. I mean like this. If you go to Terusa, it means that the crown prince that remains is only Cloud. He will also arrange the security in this palace. Surely Mr. Dave will help him. But the problem is, if done for a long time, Cloud will also be exhausted. He could not bear the heavy burden for that long. I'm afraid Cloud got sick and was taken advantage of by outsiders. I could have been given royal duties like you. Visiting other countries and working with them. Am I not the future queen of this land?"
Not knowing how to explain it, as much as possible I covered my meeting with Crown Prince Arthemis in the lake of love. I also covered up the duties that the queen had given me, leaving for the Land of Flowers. Don't let Rain know one of them let alone both. Because it might add to the burden of his mind. Because right now he would be preoccupied with many royal duties. And it wasn't for a minute.
Rain, don't ask much. I'm dizzy to know!
I know very well what his true nature is. And because of that, I don't want to worry him. I want him to focus first on his royal duties, just thinking of something else.
