He walked a little backwards holding my hand tightly, “we go home,” he said as he turned around by pulling my hand.
I stepped behind her, my voice reluctant to come out when she was either. The footsteps of the two of us, the more we walked closer to an archway made of root twists. Let out my eyes around, when the light that had previously dazzled the eyes. It has been transformed, into the courtyard of the Palace of Aleksy .. The place, where the tree that became the previous entrance grew.
“Where do you want to take me, Zeki?”
“Finding them all, maybe they have come out of this Palace,” replied Zeki who continued walking without even turning his head.
I walked in with occasional glances towards his unmoved gaze, just staring forward. Our footsteps stopped, when the sound of crying from women was heard, “what do you mean, Brother? What does that mean if we don't get married? What kind of nonsense are you saying?!”
Zeki pulled my hand as I was about to walk up to Aniela who was sitting crying with her face down. “If my father does not allow, at least .. Please take me away from here. I, unable to part with her anymore,” cried Aniela while prostrating in front of my two brothers.
I looked around, my eyes only falling on the three of them with the Duke standing a bit away from them. “Please, sister. Please ... Because it's just Aeneas, who I always think of during I-”
She placed her forehead on the back of Haruki's hand, followed by her cries that were getting stronger than before. “Kak Sachi, Sachi's sister,” Aniela crawled closer, as her eyes briefly glanced at me.
“Sister, that's not true, is it? What they say, it's a lie, isn't it? I, will still be married to Eneas, right?” he pushed on with a look at me using both of his reddened eyes.
“An-”
“Blame your over-greedy Father, blame your only self-centered Father. Anyway, if we don't take you away. You, still have your limbs to go from here,” said Zeki, he pulled my hand before I could say anything.
“What are you doing, Zeki? Why, did you say that to him?”
“Then what should I say? I give up my fiancee just so they get married? For whatever sake, I won't do it,” she said as she turned around and stood before me.
“She, same as you-”
“Don't equate me with anyone! He, not feeling how his loved ones died, in front of his own eyes without him having time to save-”
“Do not equate me, with those who rely solely on the flow of life, without intending to change it. A lot of things have changed, I .. Just think about you. I don't care about anything. If it doesn't concern anything about you .. I, never cared,” she continued, she turned back by pulling my hand following her.

Ever since we came out of the palace, Zeki has kept his mouth shut. Every now and then, I glanced out the window, looking at him riding on a horse beside the carriage I was riding. “So Julissa, tell me, what really happened?” I asked as I glanced towards Julissa who was sitting beside me.
“I too, don't really understand. Because, suddenly, I was asked to leave the palace immediately. Just as we were about to walk out, Princess Aniela cried on her knees at your two brothers.”
“Kak Haruki, ordered Eneas and Ryuzaki to leave them. The rest, I don't know what happened between them.”
“What is my brother, saying something to you?” I asked back to make Julissa's forehead shrivel.
“I, just heard it at a glance. However, from what they are talking about .. I mean Adinata and also your brother, you will come with us hitchhiking on the ship owned by Aydin,”, Julissa said again, followed by her two eyes that point forward.

I really don't understand what destiny is. What is destiny, a reversal of what we do? Or even
My head bowed followed by my suddenly darkened eyes. I raised my head back as I lifted my palm back the cloth that covered my face, “don't surprise me,” I said as I stared at him who had been standing at the side.
“Wear the robe, the sea breeze .. It is not good for you,” he replied, he stepped forward, grabbed the robe he had put on top of my head earlier, then put the robe on me.
“What are you, still thinking about the Princess?”
My head shook slowly while throwing a glance towards the sea level, “aku, just don't understand. Zeki, I know that you don't want to talk about this. But ... What was our relationship first, ended well?”
“Then, which one, did you mean? When I was being stupid to let you marry another man? When I found out your body was lifeless by men who wanted to take away the power of your eyes? Or, when your body is only legs by the Emperor's damn Dragon?”
“I've said it, I .. Don't want to discuss this-”
“Then, if you really want us to end up together .. Why, you're not trying to stop me from doing it?” tukasku cut his words.
“Because of every life, everything changes .. I persevere, only in the hope that everything ends well. To hide you from the Emperor is also free. Therefore, fighting the Emperor is the best thing.”
“Miyuki Sakura,” said Zeki again, both my eyes instantly widened when the name came out of him, “when you were not born as Takaoka Sachi, I,” he walked forward with a tight hug to my body.
“Ba-How, you can-”
“I know a woman. That woman or Ryu, would not be able to perform that forbidden magic without me. You, must be very sincere in love with her if you want to find someone's soul.”
“I, don't understand all this. I married another man, but who? I remember my old life, but I don't remember what happened here.”
“What are you, remembering the piano in my palace?”
“Piano it, belongs to a woman. I do not know how it ended up in Yadgar .. At that time, I managed to master Yadgar as it is now. However, even though we are engaged, I have absolutely no thoughts of marrying you. Until a woman came, she asked me to give her permission to play the thing you call the piano, if I give her permission .. She, will tell me how I can achieve happiness.”
“Then?” manya curious.
“He asked me to bring back his granddaughter.”
“I, really don't understand what really happened.”
Zeki's hug came off, replaced with her hand clasping tightly to my palm, “come here, I will tell you what happened .. However, not here,” he said as he pulled my hand following him.
