Aesira Destiny
The Part 23
Last night after the attack. The three twin girls of different ages walked hand in hand towards the palace building with quick steps. One of them, Margaretha the eldest, carrying the body of the princess who was wounded by a sword from one of the Udaya soldiers without her knowledge.
Kay and Aesira stood together as they watched the princess approach from afar. When the three men climbed the stairs, instantly the face of Princess Elma paled, making the two dumbfounded. They follow Margaretha who takes the princess to the ward of care.
“Princess Elma shed a lot of blood, how can this happen Sister Margaretha?” aesira asked in between the girl preparing a makeshift medical device.
“A soldier attacked suddenly in the middle of the princess was putting up a fight. Luckily Lynda managed to immobilize the soldier before he injured the princess deeper.”
Aesira gulped her saliva when she saw Margaretha cleaning the princess' wounds without mercy.
“You should wait out,” Margaretha said as if answering the wishes of the blonde girl standing behind her.
“Okey,” reply Aesira brief. He pulls away and waits outside with Kay and the two girls.
“It was only a few days here that so many people got hurt and left. Suffering, misery, and war do not stop. Not remembering day or night. People live in the shadow of fear. In fact, in this foreign place, I lost my best friend. Lord, how long will the heavens open, setting the light of Arsh's victory for his people? Am I really the determinant of this destiny of victory? But, what can I do? Even bringing power within me I don't know how.”
Aesira looked at Lynda, the youngest girl in the group seen examining the wound on her hand. And the sight of such injuries made Aesira again feel pained. Alternately, he saw Isabella who was trying to move a stone with a swing of her hand but, it seemed that the stone did not move at all. Isabella kept clucking.
“Did you lose your power?” asked Kay who was leaning beside the door.
Without turning his head the red-haired girl replied,”no.”
“Only, every time I put out full power, it will indeed be this kind of thing,” continued Isabella. He turned his body while folding his hands.
“But, this won't last long. After I rest my strength will come back.”
“Oh, so, yes?” said Kay. Isabella also nodded.
“Sorry.” That one word from Aesira made everyone frown. Lynda who was tearing a white cloth with her teeth to bandage the wound in her hand stopped as well.
“For?” ask Isabella.
Aesira raised her face. “For all things, because I can't help you guys.”
“Take it easy, Ae. This kind of situation we can overcome. You don't keep blaming yourself.” Isabella put her hand on the girl's shoulder.
“I've been in your position, Ae. A position where, when everyone is trying, we can do nothing. Even to the point where we lose something precious, we can only quietly let it go,” he continued in a sedu tone.
Aesira's face rose to look at Isabella.
“What happened something?” tanyanya.
The girl is faced with rubbing a clear liquid in the corner of the right eye.
“Nothing,” replied Isabella while shaking her head.
Isabella's face then turned carefree instantly. “Come practice together? We have to go home ‘ right? Everyone at home must miss us,” he said with a carefree smile.
In the past, Isabella came after Lynda. The girl landed on the dock with her boyfriend, Christopher. Before long, the two of them also decide for Princess Elma to fight to defend Arsh just like Lynda. But the unfortunate thing happened, Christopher had to fall in the arena of war, his body was kidnapped by Queen Udaya as a place to replenish the life of Prince Eleazar in order to live again. The question in Isabella's mind why her lover had to be kidnapped with a dead condition was answered by Princess Elma who said that Christopher had a face similar to Prince Eleazar. Princess Elma herself knew that the two men were the same because her nanny told her. The babysitter was the same nanny as Prince Eleazar and Princess Jazira, aka Queen Udaya. Zaramaz.
Zaramama himself has died because he was found to be a spy Udaya. The middle-aged woman, was the figure who became the helper of Princess Elma after both her parents were brutally murdered. At that time, when Princess Jazira was blindly attacking the Emir King who had already taken an oath in the sky, he secretly grabbed Princess Elma and took her to run to be saved. Although previously he was a spy Udaya, even made all Udaya troops free from the portal made by Queen Mina. However, thanks to the kindness of the people in the kingdom of Arsh, his heart was broken. As ransom for his sins, he swore to take care of Princess Elma. After the state of security returned, Zaramama returned to the palace. With severe injuries, the King Emir managed to drive Princess Jazira and his troops to retreat. Fifteen years old, the Emir King presides over Arsh in his old age, takes care of his grandson, and is wracked with severe illness. Until finally, the great king died, the leadership of Arsh fell to the only heir there. However, not yet the princess was inaugurated, the attack of the Udaya kingdom became-so. Half of the Arsh royal buildings were destroyed. At a very young age, Princess Elma took the lead to fight the Udaya occupation until now.
“Are you hungry? Will be made soup,” Margaretha's effort out the door.
“Can you talk about food at such a crucial time?” joking Isabella, he added his words,”how is Princess Elma?”
“Only a small stretch, not too deep. Princess is resting now,” reply the eldest girl.
“But I saw blood in the princess's stomach very much, is that okay?” ask Aesira worriedly.
Margaretha chuckles. “Yes, you can trust me.”
“Lyn, what wounds do you need me to treat first? Also you should not play a lot of archery first, the injury on your arm is not fully healed yet,” Margaretha said.
“Good.”
Aesira has no appetite. The girl, lamenting in the room where Princess Elma was being treated. He waited in silence. However, not with his mind constantly attacking with various prejudices of a terrible future. Unknowingly, her tears fell against Princess Elma's palm on her lap.
“A .. Aesira ..”
The girl with the identity of blonde hair turned quickly to Princess Elma who had regained consciousness.
“Princess, don't move first. Your wound is not dry.” Princess Elma ignored Aesira's suggestion, she still wanted to take a sitting position. Be careful, Aesira helps him to be comfortable and his injuries are not disturbed.
“Thank you, Aesira.”
“Sama-sama, Princess Elma." Aesira sat back in her chair.
While leaning back, Princess Elma observed Aesira whom she guessed was heartbroken.
“Princess ..”
“Iya, Ae. You want to say something?”
Aesira delayed her speech by a few minutes.
“How can this end with the decider is me? I ... I cannot bring out my power to protect many people. I'm afraid, if it's like this, I'll lose a lot of people.”
“Sadness. Sadness is the weakness of the fighters, Ae. That's the conclusion I got from Margaretha, Isabella, and Lynda. Their weakness is the same, sadness. Perhaps, since you are saddened by losing Rui, your strength is therefore weakened.”
Aesira was speechless about Princess Elma and the statement made her think.
