Fake Princess
CCCXIII Chapter
"I don't know, I don't understand what it means" he said, releasing a pinch he made on my cheek.
"I don't feel anything, if there's a Kou I'll definitely know... It's an ordinary stone or not" I looked back at him.
"I'll explain," a female voice came from behind, I grabbed Zeki's left arm and held her firmly.
I glanced towards Zeki who was also reciprocated by the glances that Zeki did to me. Zeki turned around, there was no response from him the more I wonder what happened.
I turned back, I saw that Queen Alelah had been standing before us with several women behind him along with Haruki, Izumi and also Aydin on the right and left side of her body.
"What are you two doing here?" Haruki smiled at us.
"Did you bring my sister here, Zeki?" Izumi chimed in on Haruki's words.
"We didn't do anything, I just showed the stone carving that was behind us" Zeki pointed his thumb back.
"Ukiran stone?" Reveal Haruki while still smiling coldly at me.
"The birth is written in the ancient language of nii-chan, if you don't believe it... You can check it out for yourself" I smiled back at him.
"That is one of the relics of the first Queen," Callia said again translating the words of Queen Alelah, I looked at her who stepped closer.
"Residence?"
"Yes, relics. It's a hereditary story told by the Queen to the next future Queen..."
"Secret, if the first Queen had a lover whom she loved dearly, more precisely... They love each other. However," Callia said again translating the words spoken by Queen Alelah, the Queen stepped past us both towards the stone slab behind us.
"But, because the first Queen was a Princess of a small Kingdom, she was forced by her father to marry and become a concubine of someone very powerful. The first queen refused, then chose to marry her lover secretly without anyone's knowledge..."
"Because of the disillusionment of the person in power earlier due to the refusal made by the first Queen to him..."
"In the end, the Queen's first lover lost his life to be killed, and the Queen was exiled to an uninhabited place. The queen prayed, every day she prayed... Until he found that magical waterfall..."
"After the Queen plunged herself into the waterfall, the Queen suddenly became pregnant and gave birth, at that time... The queen realized that there was another force flowing through her body..."
"Because the Queen does not want her beloved Princess to suffer a similar fate, she uses all her power to create a new world where she will not be harmed by the outside world. In other words, the world is meant to be this place itself," Callia said again explaining what Queen Alelah said, Queen Alelah put her palm on the stone plate.
"Although the Queen's intention is to protect her daughter, she also wants her daughter to feel love. In this box, there is a precious treasure from the first Queen, I give this treasure to you both" Callia's voice translating the words of Queen Alelah sounded, I looked at my palm that was grabbed by the Queen as she placed the wooden box in her hand on me.
"But" I said to Queen Alelah and Callia alternately.
"It was the ring of the couple belonging to the first Queen and her lover. Since long ago, I never believed in the love between men and women before I saw you two in person..."
"Looking at you two makes me understand, if what's being told is true... Therefore, this treasure is more appropriate for both of you than me," Callia said again audibly, Queen Alelah moved her hand to open the small box she placed in my palm earlier.
I looked at the pair of rings in the box, nothing special about the ring... The ring was made of a bent iron. But forget about the shape... The story behind the ring was heart-wrenching.
"Thank you," I said smilingly looking at her, Queen Alelah smiling back at her.
"I hope you are both happy" said Queen Alelah represented by Callia, Queen Alelah released her hand on my wrist as she moved her leg back toward her entourage.
As I closed my hand back to the wooden box with the ring, I turned to Queen Alelah who was seen whispering to Callia. The Queen walked back, and the women walked behind her except for Callia.
"The queen says, don't wander. He'll know where you're going or hiding. And also, there are still many women here who have thoughts like the blonde woman who attacked you yesterday... The Queen fears for your safety if you go further than the Palace" Callia said, addressing us in turn.
"And so, you'll be home when the full moon rises. Because all four of you are men, and actually the men are destined not to get out of this place alive. Therefore, the Queen will perform the gate opening ceremony so that you can leave from here," Callia continued back as she turned to step closer to us.
"You both heard that!" Shouted Izumi looking at us with both of his hands ruffled around his waist.
"Zeki, I need an explanation from you, come here," Haruki continued waving his palm, glancing at Zeki who walked past me.
I turned to look at the hole that was slowly disappearing replaced by the square stone slab that had previously been seen...
Now I understand, what the meaning of the small carvings that are at the end of the stone is...
And what is the meaning of the carvings that adorn the stone.
I need a light, a light that can move all doubts.
Losing her is like losing a life.
Everything that is nothing but a relationship, when your relationship with someone you care about is cut off... You might think, my world is over.
