The atmosphere of the palace instantly became gloomy for Rang, the man returned to the room and looked at Yuri who was still limp on his bed. With a warm stove beside the woman's bed, Rang now approached her and sat down at the side of the bed. The official clothing of the stealth kingdom with gold accents around his neck adorned Rang's body. The man was unable to turn his gaze away from Yuri, his female skin still looked as pale as a dead lizard. Even as if there was no blood flowing visible from that body.
Rang let out a long sigh, his eyes that held back tears pointed straight to the ceiling of the room that was a typical orange red fox. Not long after, a soft moaning sound came out from Yuri's mouth which made Rang immediately happy half to death and asked her how she was. "Yuri, are you still cold? I'll warm you up!"
Yuri shook her head, she looked at Rang softly. "What happened to me?"
Rang held the woman's hand. "No, you're just cold. There's nothing to worry about!"
"Um, are you wearing your official clothes? Why?"
"Because I'm a prince here!" Rang grinned by showing his neat teeth.
"Ah yes, Byul how?" Yuri scrunched her forehead, she remembered that Byul was alone at home.
"He's with Nara and Miss Kimi, I've asked them to take care of Byul while we're off to find a cure. They don't know where we're looking for him."
Yuri nodded, after which she rested there. Same with Rang. Surgical with Yon who is still collecting kaleana flowers Yuri requests.
The next morning, Yon came home with ten bags of kaleana flowers that were directly mixed into the water for extract. Yuri and Rang see the process being aided by the fox's powers. After successfully extracting kaleana flowers, the results are placed in small bottles to take home.
"Wah here is sophisticated as well huh," Yuri muttered to Rang who was standing beside him.
"The bottle will disappear on its own after the kaleana flower extract is exhausted. Magic right?" Rang grinned.
"You're starting to boast about your demon country? You want to stay here?" Yuri glared towards Rang.
"You want to accompany me? If I do, I want to stay here."
"Cih, what about Byul if I'm here? Besides I don't want to get an attack from that wind anymore, it gives me goosebumps!" Yuri shuddered in horror at the events of yesterday, where she felt empty within minutes.
Rang grinned with eyes focused on Yuri. "Yuri, I missed you!"
"Hindu? I've been with you since yesterday."
Rang's gaze turned sad, it seemed like he remembered about their fate that the fox could not change. Rang sighed then clasped his lover's soft hand. "Let's say there's something else I want to show you."
It felt so dark, Rang introduced Yuri to the tombstone before him? Yuri widened, she wanted to check the man's mind, she hoped there was no damage in it. "I'm Yuri" he said nervously.
Rang laughed heartily at Yuri's misbehaved expression. "You're not usually like this! This is the grave of your future in-laws so be polite before him."
"Hey, I'm trying!" Yuri whispered.
"He's human, my father took his body into the demon world. He buried her here. I don't know what he meant, but it definitely made Yon and his mother angry at that time."
"My mom had a mental breakdown after my dad left me, which is why I hate that guy so much. My mother, losing her mind after her disappearance left me who was only 5 years old alone. I ate leftovers, but people kept insulting me. Condemning me and saying I was the cause of the village damage, whenever the weather did not support the success of their harvest, they began to blame me. Against me without shame. And when no one helped me, I stood on my own feet."
Yuri looked at Rang's eyes full of sadness, she could feel the pain Rang felt.
"Because of my anger, I killed them all. Yes, Yuri I'm not a good person and not as good as you think. I killed the entire village and got punishment from the underworld." Rang undid his clothes slightly and showed a large incision in his stomach.
"This is proof that I missed the sentence, I don't know why I got away with it. When I was 10, I met a girl named Aura who was only about 6 years old at that time. We grew up together and spent a lot of time together. He made my life more colorful and grew the desire to live in me. However, everything comes back dark for me when I get her gone for good."
Rang took a long breath. "That's all, because of me. This time, I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I don't want to regret it and lament for the rest of my life, I will stay here and you will live well in your world. I will deliver you to the human world after getting the extracts of the flowers. You give it to every hospital that takes care of the same patients as Byul, don't forget to give it to Nara to treat both parents."
"Rang, what about me? With Nara, how could you just walk away? Your company? Everything?" Yuri scrunched his forehead.
"From the beginning, I didn't have any of that. I only have you for now, so take good care of them. I entrust everything to you Yuri."
"Yeah! You can't be like this, I don't want to. You promised you'd come home with me after your father's bond was finalized? Didn't the fox never break his promise?" yuri's breathing started to roar, she held back the cry as best she could.
Rang chuckled, but his eyes could not lie. The tears that were waiting to be released, were clearly visible there. "Yuri, a promise can only be tied when a fox is in debt. But you remember? Don't you always owe me? I never bothered you, did I?" Rang pursed his lips while crossing his arms.
"Rang, I won't let you go! I want you to come, it doesn't matter if I die I'm going to die anyway, right? As long as it's with you and Byul I'll definitely be happy!"
Rang looked at Yuri flatly. "You think I'll be happy? Watching you die in front of me, or seeing you get sick and I can't do anything? When that happens, you'll age and I won't! It'll really hurt me, before it happens I just want you to live well in the human world. Buy whatever you want, wear whatever you want. Married and have children. With that I'll have a niece to look forward to." she smiled.
Yuri shakes. "Rang you're crazy! How could I live happily and marry someone else when all I want is to be with you! How can I forget our memories!"
"After I decide to live in the demon world, all my memories in the human world will be erased by themselves. All the items I have will disappear like that bottle of medicine, there will be no traces that can hurt you. All you have to know is, I'll keep our memories. I love you in two worlds, Yuri." Rang pulled Yuri's hand, then kissed the woman's lips gently. The tears welled up, this time the parting would happen before something worse came to them.
