CCCXVI Chapter


"Before reaching the destination, it is likely that we will dock somewhere first" Aydin said as he took a piece of grilled meat in front of him and devoured it.


"Fragured?" So Haruki grabbed the cup of tea in front of him and drank it.


"Emre, explain!" Aydin said while still devouring the piece of meat in his grasp.


"The supply of food and water is running out, so we need to dock to get all the necessities" Emre replied, standing next to Aydin with a gaze staring at Haruki.


"I see," Haruki continued, sipping his tea again.


"Eat this meat" said Zeki putting a large piece of grilled meat in front of me.


"I'm full" I said reaching for the cup nearby and then the cup filled with water approached Cia who was sitting on my lap.


"I don't see it, I don't see you eating anything."


"I'm full, don't force it" I said, turning to look at him.


"Are you having stomach pain again?"


"illness?"


"No, forget it," she said back to me.


"I'm done, I'm going straight to the room to take Cia," I said, standing with Cia in my arms, stepping my feet away from those who were still busy eating food on the table.


I set foot down the aisle with both hands holding Cia so as not to fall. Every now and then, my footsteps came to a halt as the ship swayed strongly by the swings of the waves outside.


"Sa-chi," Cia's voice sounded soft as I felt a repetitive touch poking at my cheek.


"Have you been sleepy? Sorry, I was too late in my own thoughts," I said as I woke up from the daydreams, returning to my feet near the room.


______________________


I lay sideways, looking at the soundly sleeping Cia. My mind and heart were suddenly muddled when my memories of being Sakura suddenly flashed back...


I'm sorry, Mother Panti, I can't keep my own promise.


My head turned back, my body sat up as Zeki's voice followed by a knock on the door from outside the room. Can you come out? Those were the words he said from behind the door.


I stood up as my feet grabbed a pair of sandals and put them on. I turned around and walked towards the door and opened it...


"Do you want to come with me?" He said as I closed the door again and stood before him.


"Where?" I said as Zeki grabbed my hand and pulled her slowly to follow.


Zeki led me out of the boat, I slightly turned my eyes to the side as the wind slapped my face slightly. Throwing my head up, moonlight with a small star nearby was seen illuminating us in the ocean.


"Here," said Zeki again pulling my hand closer to the end of the ship.


"Why did you bring me here. The air outside is so cold, do you know," I said, holding up one of my palms to cover my mouth which was evaporating wide.


"Is there something you're thinking about?" He said as I stood looking at him with my body leaning against the wall of the ship.


"Did I worry you? If so, I'm sorry," I said, looking away at the ocean.


"Did something happen?" He asked again, this time looking different than before.


"I just remembered something I didn't want to remember" I said, staring back at the ocean before us.


"Don't try to lie to me."


"I'm not lying to you" I looked at him, and there was a sound of breathing.


"Well, how are the three of them?" He asked as he leaned against the sea behind me.


"I was able to communicate again with Kou, Lux and Uki was starting to be healthy," I said lowered my gaze staring at the tip of the foot.


"What's wrong with me? Is something wrong?" Zeki threw the question back at me.


"So soon, the Emperor will know that King Yadgar has been succeeded by you. That means, he will do anything to get you with the Kingdom," I said, moving my body around and looking at the sea.


"Are you worried about me?"


"Of course, how can I not worry about my own fiancee. You're a fool" I said without looking back at him.


"Say," he said as he grabbed my hair, Zeki put his face on my shoulder.


"Say? What am I supposed to say?" Kulirik he who was smiling looked at me from the side.


"Say, I love you, Zeki," she said softly in my ear, my body goosebumps for a moment as she blew that warm air in my ear.


"W-what are you doing?" Reveal me walking backwards away from him, the stronger I put my palm on my ear earlier.


"Comforting you," he said directing his open palm towards me.


"What you? Have you lost your mind?" My mouth was answered with a laughing voice that he let out.


"You're right, if you're not... Wherever possible, I came here just to see you," he smiled at me.


"Thank you," I said walking over to him, I hugged his body firmly as my head rested on his chest.


"What are you doing?" He was followed by slow knocks on my head.


"Thank you for always doing your best. I'm sorry, because I'm demanding too much on you" I said, burying my head in his chest.


"What did you say? You're my partner" he said, grabbing my waist and lifting me up, Zeki turned around and put my body on the side of the boat while he stood in front of me.


"Because we are a couple, supporting and giving support is natural. Don't stop scolding me, just because I've become a King" he said again, grabbing my hair as he tucked it in my earlobe.


I put my face on his shoulder as my palm firmly grasped the clothes he was wearing. I was bitten by my lips, the deeper my face was sinking on his shoulders...


"Sachi," he said, I felt the slow knocks on my head.


"Thank you, thank you for not letting me fight alone" I said in a trembling voice.


"What happened to you?"


"It's nothing, I just feel a little relieved. In the past, I always thought... How bad is this world. But on second thought, I felt grateful... Born Takaoka Sachi, the son of my father, the younger brother of my two brothers, the Princess of the Kingdom of Sora, and also the fiancee of King Zeki Bechir," I raised my head and smiled at him.


Zeki lifted my body back up as he turned back down. Placed his palm on my forehead as he walked backwards slightly...


"Keep away" he said, throwing his eyes off me.


"What happened to you?" My side grabbed her wrist that touched my forehead earlier.


"Can't you be careful of yourself? Do you always smile like that in front of other men?" His words moved his eyes back to look at me.


"What's wrong with you?" Let me put my foot closer to him.


"Stop, stop there and don't move!" Zeki again threw his eyes to the side.


"You why? What's going on?"


"Wuah, I can go crazy" he said scratching his head while his gaze still avoided looking at me.


"Can you just go back to your room without asking why. If you stay that way, I'm afraid... Can't control yourself" he continued, staring to the side with one hand covering his mouth.


"I see," I said, followed by a sigh coming out, I stepped closer to him, still throwing my eyes away. Let my palms touch his neck while my lips touch his cheeks.


"Good night. I love you, Darling," I whispered as I thrust my body back and forth, leaving her.
