Water Element Swordsman

Chapter 22 [Honest]

Arriving near the connecting door between the hallway to Hito's room and to another place in the palace, Ruhee forcibly revolted from Ruyi's hand. Ruyi who had run earlier near the door of the passageway, then returned towards Ruhee. 

"Rublin. I said iku–"

"Silent. Ruyi!! My hands are sore again, you at least know be patient first!! Not panic!!" snapped Ruhee held her reddened hand peeling away as Ruyi's hand rubbed her hand. 

"Ruy. I can je–"

"Shut up!! I'm sick of your explanation, you don't know the pain of these two hands, hiks ... hiks ...," Tangkis Ruhee walked forward to the hallway of Hito's room. 

Ruyi only fell silent feeling her mistake, as Ruyi listened to the shrill cry of Stepmother heard all over the palace. Until finally the servants and other troops caught up with them. 

"Ruyi, you've already got here first. So did Ruhee," said the other waiter. 

"Thank God,"

At first glance there was another waiter looking at the hinges of the passageway's closing gate moving on his own. 

"Ruhee dodge!!" 

Ruhee then turned her head suddenly to the gate of the passage closed itself loudly, without a single person closing it. 

Baammu!! 

Ruhee who was at the front was locked inside, while Ruyi, the other servants and soldiers standing guard outside avoided the gate. Ruhee who was inside then brought herself closer to the gate to speak to Ruyi. 

"Ruy!! Ruyi!! Are you listening to me inside!!"

"...."

Ruhee's servant hit the gate of the passageway with all her might to make it sound outside, however. There was not a single voice that answered the words of Ruhee inside. The unyielding Ruhee kept hitting the gate, until it pulled the handle of the gate firmly open. However, his hard work struggle did not pay off. The gate did not open and was mysteriously locked. 

Frightened, weeping Ruhee faced the challenge ahead, as Ruhee faced forward, a dark, calm to creepy atmosphere enveloped Ruhee's feelings. Mixed with the pool of water mixed with blood at the feet of Ruhee. 

Ruhee swallowed her saliva to stand still in front of the gate until she sat down waiting for certainty. Before long Ruhee felt in front of her heard the sound of screams of pain and the loud sound of sword fighting buzzing within the passageway. As well as this small undulating pool of water that signified there was someone in front of him, Ruhee's servants grew increasingly curious about the presence of the person trapped in front. But in his heart of fear, Ruhee still forced his soul to advance step by step. 

Although his hands were flushed and flaking, Ruhee's servants walked through the pool of water. 

"What's really going on here, why is this hallway filled with pools of water mixed with blood?"

"When this hallway has never experienced water leakage, it is usual that there is water will mend–"

As Ruhee looked around, Ruhee unknowingly came to a halt halfway through. Ruhee felt that someone had been stepped on by Ruhee's shoes, so Ruhee checked them out. 

"Okay, what do I do?–"

Ruhee then fell silent to see the item she was stepping on was a guard's hand cut off in the pool of water. As a result Ruhee ran forward, seeing her hand cut off was a surprise to Ruhee. Ruhee was even more frightened with a shout, until a pale face saw her hands cut off. 

When Ruhee ran up to half way, Ruhee's feet were suddenly pulled by the hand raised in the pool of water. The suspended Ruhee then fell forward and rebelled her legs to escape the hands of the water that incarnated like the hands of a corpse. Traumatized Ruhee saw that the hands of the corpse had already locked onto her feet, suddenly stunned Ruhee straightened her neck feeling the sword next to her neck as it aimed at her neck for the gorok. 

Ruhee then turned to look at the sharp sword, when she turned her head. Ruhee looked at the person who was pointing the sword at her neck. The tall human-like black shadow and the powerful killing air of Ruhee felt like an enemy outside the Palace. However, Ruhee guessed wrong, the one who put the sword to her neck was the real Hito. 

"That's none of your business, if you may. I'd like to ask you for a second."

"Are you her loyal stewardess stepmother until now, and you're still in cahoots with stepmother or not. Answer my words."

"If not, I will cut your neck with this sword." Hito's deathly gaze stared at the silent Servant Ruhee. 

"ANSWER!! I NEED YOUR HONESTY!!" 

Ruhee's servant who couldn't do anything else around her, finally opened her mouth from her deepest heart. 

"Yes .. hiks .. hiks, I did not conspire with Princess Rossa. I was forced and willing to be his loyal servant, because my family in Shei Village was threatened and suppressed by Princess Rossa, hiks .. hiks …,"

"I don't know what else to do, hiks ... hiks. My family will be brutally murdered by his man, so I have to work hard to pay off this problem" explained Ruhee's waiter crying over the fact overwritten by him. 

Hito who was at the back looked at him without even batting his eyelids, then Hito walked to the face of Ruhee's servant and sat down before him. 

"Look at my face now," told Hito to waitress Ruhee look at Hito's face, Ruhee complied and saw Hito's cold face. 

"Now, I'm asking you to explain your origin from Shei Village, and how you can be troubled by stepmother,"

"I want to know that your family is there now, so be honest with me!" erang Hito's. 

The servant nodded his head and explained all the problems that Ruhee faced from the beginning to the end of her life as a servant, ruhee's life story is said to be very painful and has a pressure so hard from the stepparent to the request of her family. 

Not once, Ruhee explained that during this time Ruhee was sometimes tortured by stepmother with a rampage of whips, glass cups and food thrown in front of her. For the sake of his family to survive from his stepmother's man, Ruhee had to work hard to become a servant at the Alexander Family Palace. 

"So, you've been a stepmother's backbone for 5 years now?" ask Hito. 

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Hito is 2 years old, from here Ruhee apologizes profusely. If Ruhee doesn't help Mr. Hito was tortured for the past 5 years," Ruhee's apology worships Hito in the pool. 

"Oh, no, don't worship me. I'm not a god or a strong man now, all I want is your honesty as long as I interrogate."

"In exchange, I need proof of the facts of your family's torture and restraint. And for sure, I will be out of the Alexander Family Palace in these 2 days,"

"Therefore, I want you. Follow me to Shei Village. So that I can help your family there," Hito explained. 

The maid Ruhee listened to Hito's words, then raised her head. 

"Are you sure Mr. Hito?"

"Ekhhmm .. follow me walk now forward,"

"Alright, Mr. Hito,"

Relieved Ruhee's servant would receive help from Hito, he immediately got up from his seat following Hito walking in the back. Finally, all this time, Ruhee's servant shed her tears for the hundredth time, that her family could be saved by Hito. Despite having to wait 2 days, Ruhee's heart can be relieved by thanking her prayers at night. Ruhee believed that in time it would be a pity that there would be someone to help, that was what Ruhee had thought before. 

And now, Ruhee felt very grateful to Hito who had listened to Ruhee's grief story that he had kept secret. Without even a single friend of hers knowing, neither did Ruyi know. 

Hito is already planning something for the future, on the other hand. Hito had already begun to search the range and continued to unravel the mystery of the artifacts in Shei Village where Servant Ruhee and Uncle Erio were located.
