.......

A splashing sound of water was heard not far from me, I vaguely heard the sound of people talking. "The water here is cold" said someone.

"Yes, because today is a good day" said another.

"Is right? I heard today that Lavel's family's favorite daughter will be proposed" said another.

"Eehh with whom?"

"You don't know? yesterday the news was spread among the servants, he said the Crown Prince himself who will come directly to the Lavel residence and propose the only child in the Lavel family. After that the news spread to the immortality of other nobles!" some with enthusiasm.

"It's lucky that Miss Beryl can get the Crown Prince, especially later if the Crown Prince ascends to the throne as King de Ramor then Miss Beryl will be the Queen of this kingdom," connect the others with pleasure.

"Really! it is better that Miss Beryl be the Queen of this kingdom than any other lady. But ... I'm afraid there will be many trials during our Miss being with the Crown Prince."

"What do you mean? why worry about the uncertain?" ask the others.

"Already .. we will be in this bath to welcome the good day. There is no need to think about it we just pray that Miss Beryl and the Crown Prince are given happiness always," another injury.

Their conversation surprised me enough, wasn't what they were talking about me?

I tried to approach those who were cool with chatting, the streets around Telaga Syna felt more slippery than before. Although the road is slippery I can pass through it so easily as if I had ever come to this place.

But when I arrived before them, they did not respond to my presence at all. "Hey! can you listen to me?"

I tried to touch one of the woman's shoulders but it was like the ghost of my hand through. I was quite shocked by what I saw, immediately I pulled my hand off his shoulder and accidentally fell into the well.

But why does this lake water feel real?

I could feel the cold sensation of this water and the skin of my hands suddenly turned pale, when I tried to get out of this lake water a hand choked my neck and brought it back into the lake water.

Who'sis this?!

With great difficulty I brushed his hand from my neck but his strength was more than twice as strong as mine and made me enter the well.

"Grand ... Gorge ..."

I vaguely heard a voice.

"Grand ... Beryl!"

The voice was getting stronger.

"Beryl! hang on ..."

And the sound just disappeared, and then I woke up from the nightmare.

I had a strange dream ...

My breath gasped after waking up from the nightmare, have I experienced this before? why do some dreams feel like real dreams?

"You awake?" asked someone, I turned to the direction of the voice and found Knight Chalya staring at me intently.

Ahhh!! why should he show up after I open my eyes?

"It looks like your condition is fine when viewed from your arrogant attitude," he sneered, I don't care and I don't want to answer his words either because for me it was a futile act.

"I just want to deliver a message from Miss, you will be severely punished for your evil deeds that have killed Miss Chalya's beloved bull and soon you will be judged!" sue her.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight his words made my heart ache, "Don't joke!! he's the one who set me up in his dirty game, he's also the one who intends to kill me with his fucking bull!!" my Maki with eyes crossed.

I was angry .. I was so angry!!

"I'm just defending myself from the animal's onslaught and you're just laughing over my suffering! how can you punish me when what should be punished is you!!!" my angry scream.

But a sword stopped right in front of my neck, he looked at me with eyes that were also full of anger and emotion that might soon explode.

"Once again you defy the orders of Miss Chalya who is your master, you will never be able to see the sun again!" pressing it with a terrifying voice instantly I felt fear, my life and life depended on the sword that was in front of me.

He pulled his sword back and sheathed it before leaving, when he arrived at the door with all his might he slammed the iron door almost dislodged. I shuddered in fear without noticing a few drops of blood coming out.

Ba— how is this .. My neck is bleeding.

"Geez!! what the fuck? you slammed this door up like this?" ask someone who hastily approached me.

"Not .. that's the Knight of Avell," I said in shock.

"That's what you're wrong! finish your history. Hurry up and get ready, before you get punished you'll have to clear up the wild animal traps not far from Miss Chalya's pavilion. You'd better hurry up before you shut up Miss Chalya, "he ordered and left me alone.

I don't want to cry but my tears are really impervious, like a waterfall.

"Ke— why I .. ha— must experience this ..." I can't even hold my sobs, "Su— is over, Ryl .. bu— isn't the time .. a— I'm crying."

As much as I tried to stand up and walk in the direction I was told, I touched my wounds that started to dry without treatment no matter how long I fainted and they did not care about me at all.

I rushed in the direction they ordered though limping. Several times I asked the servants or knights who passed by but no one responded to my words, they just left like I didn't exist.

I kept trying to ask where the traps were until I overheard a conversation.

"You know that the Crown Prince is coming here?" ask someone.

Crown Prince?

I slowly approached them and hid behind the bushes. "really? I don't know" said another.

"The word is that."

"But why are you here? tumben once the Crown Prince came here," asked the others.

"Hhmm yeah .. I don't know either but maybe there's a job or—"

"Or what?" ask the others curious.

"Or the Crown Prince will propose to Miss Chalya!" exclaim that guy.

"What?!!" yell them simultaneously.

Not only those who were shocked I eavesdropped were also shocked by their chatter, I became reminded of the dream that had been.

"Well .. if my mind will be envious," one of them said.

"Yes me too! when did I get the husband of a nobleman that .." chirps the other.

Is it true that the Crown Prince is going to be here? I would love to see it in person, when I dream I can't see her face covered by the light that comes out of nowhere.

"What are you there for?!" call someone, I jumped in shock with his sudden voice.

Did I get caught eavesdropping?

"I'm just—"

"Not many reasons! anyway you're hurt you want to hang around here? that's not gonna happen!" emphatically.

She pulled my right hand forcefully and it triggered the pain in my body to recur until I screamed her made. Along the way I watched the others, their eyes looked at me as if it was common and continued their work.

This is where tolerance is very low!

"You have to finish this trap for an hour after that I have to take you in front of Miss Chalya. So, you don't fuck around!" his orders.

I just nodded weakly and walked towards those traps. In the end I couldn't escape from here let alone with this weak body full of wounds. Is the hope for me to get out of here still there? wasa and OL didn't know I was here.

Aahh .. I miss them both.

"God! get it over with, don't daydream!" continued.

I rushed to finish this job, the animal traps here were huge and there were ten in number so it was very difficult if completed quickly. Maybe half an hour has passed but I have only completed three traps and seven more are left.

It's tired of it.

"Master!" call someone. I looked towards the source of the voice, the person ran closer and closer.

"What's wrong?" ask the man who accompanied me.

"You were asked by the Knights of Avell to welcome the Crown Prince who has arrived, all the workers are also required to go to the meeting hall now," he said.

Is he really coming?!

Instantly I became very excited to see it, what did it look like? how tall is he? what handsome is his face? I really want to see it!

"Well, I'll be there you can go" he said.

"Why stop? continue your work! when I get back, I just want to see that this is all over. You understand?!!" snapped it.

I just nodded to be safe, he walked away and left me in the hall, I knew that my work had to be done before he came back but my curiosity was so great. So .. I'll be there when everyone around me is gone.

About fifteen minutes I waited while clearing these traps finally no one else passed by.

It's Ryl's time!

I left my job half a trap again, I don't know where the hall is but it's memory of me when the others are gone so I use that path as well. I continued walking on the road that I thought was towards the hall but when I arrived at the crossroads I was confused as to which way I would step.

Like deja vu, I began to recall the incident when I was confused to choose a way in the Wasa residence to hide and listen to the chatter of the Nobles Misses until it was discovered and my life almost lost. Remembering the incident made my chest shake violently the instant my tears fell.

No!! I don't need to see the Crown Prince maybe I can see him later. But now the most important thing is that I have to escape first, after this visit Chalya will definitely put me on trial and I will not linger here.

I turned around and then ran back to the trap earlier, I passed five traps that I had not cleared. Although not for an hour I was in this neighborhood but with a strong guts I will go into the forest.

Why don't I run towards the gate? cause I'm gonna get caught and it's gonna be worth it if I do. Certainly now at the gate is being guarded because the visiting Crown Prince and if I am caught fleeing from the Chalya residence I will be immediately tried according to their threat to me.

If I get caught I don't know what else that crazy woman thinks of me!

I know the road I'm going to walk is the residence of other wild animals because of the trap but all this time my life continues to pass through dangerous roads so what's wrong if now I face the streets dangerous again? the most important thing is that I have to get out even if I am scared.

Sshhhtts!!

I stopped and looked around, what was that sound?

"Just look at Ryl!" I said, I continued to run in a direction I did not know but I believed that there would be a way out.

Shhhtts!!!

The voice was getting clear, I started to feel suspicious but soon I cleared it and continued to run until—

Bbbrraa!!

My feet tripped over the roots of a camouflaged tree, "Aahh!!!! my legs .." My ringis but a snake that is not too big is right in front of me.

"U— snake?!"

My reflex was to rewind myself in a backward sitting state but the animal was getting closer and closer, "Go!!! go you!!"

But he did not understand and instead approached me quickly, I continued to retreat myself to a tree. I glanced back and forth over whether there was anything I could use and I found a large hunk of stone from my right side.

I hesitated to use it a little, was there nothing else but the big stone?

Ssshhhtts!!!

"Ohh!!"

I screamed in pain, the snake bit me quickly. When I was careless to find something else, the snake was already planning to bite me. With all my might I lifted a large stone the size of a human head and threw it into the body of the snake. As soon as the snake was in pain, its body continuously wriggled to escape from the crush of the stone.

I took my foot away from the snake and watched it die slowly from being hit by a large rock. When I made sure he was really dead then I got out of there but when I tried to stand the bones in my body felt very painful.

I just fell down and grimaced with the pain, "Oh my God, it hurts so much ...."

Ssshhhtts!!!

The voice was heard again, "Come Ryl .. a—I have to get up. I ... I have to get out of here, ji— if not .. I'll be their meal!"

My sobs began to sound, the pain felt like living like this even the one who encouraged me was also just myself.

I repeatedly tried to stand with a bone that felt like it was going to be crushed, with a shoulder that felt heavy, with a head that was going to break and with a leg that had been bitten by a snake.

"Oh my God .. I beg you. I beg you to save me from this danger .." I wish God would listen to my prayer.

As hard as I run though limping, I wipe the tears that keep coming out and encourage myself that there must be a way out in front.

Don't ask me how I feel now, I just want to go home.

Hhhiiiikk!

Hhhhiiihk!!

From a distance I heard the roar of a horse, a trace of hope made me eager to run until I could see a road that lay before me.

"Is that really the exit?" ask me expectantly.

With a burning spirit I continued to run closer to the road, so excited I did not even see a horse carriage passing by.

And one incident that I did not want to happen, I was dragged by the horse-drawn carriage and then bounced to the side of the road. My head hit one of the rocks on the side of the road, I felt something wet coming out from under my head.

"Beryl?!"

Call someone I vaguely see, my hand is about to reach his face but I am too weak.
