Junot is reviewing several locations of the palace that are prone to serve as a shortcut for intruders in and out of the palace. Once upon a time, he got a report if an intruder from the Amber kingdom entered through a river that was on the back of the palace— river that he wanted to review today. The river that flows water from the glacier mountains has indeed been given a high iron barbed fence and into the depths of the river, as a security barrier. But somehow the intruder could easily enter the palace without being discovered and almost harmed the king.

Junot who was then completely furious and exhausted of patience, punished the intruder mercilessly. Punishment that would make anyone afraid to send their people into Geogini territory without permission. Like that Junot, firm and can always make the opponent's guts shrink.

“Commander, I heard someone shouting.” said one of the soldiers behind his back.

Junot stopped his steps. Put up an ear and try to catch the voice that the soldier meant.

And true. Someone is screaming for help. Without wasting much time, Junot ran towards the source of the voice he already knew where it came from, which had disappeared a moment later. No more sounding.

The two sweets widened when he saw Dayana riding on the riverbank with a wet condition and coughing. But he knew it wasn't Dayana's voice. Junot is very familiar with Dayana's voice.

“Princess, what happened. You okay?” tanya Junot confirmed when it was on Dayana's side. He looked around and found nothing but Dayana who was still curled up coughing and spewing water. “You are alone, princess?” he continued while massaging the neck of Dayana who tried to neutralize himself.

Without a sound, Dayana pointed towards the river. And just then, Junot realized there was someone else in there. Drowned.

His breath seemed to suffocate when he realized the voice that had shouted for help. Ivory, sir,

yeah, that's Ivory's voice.

No matter what else, he immediately plunged into the river. Swim deeper, and deeper when he never found the figure he was looking for. His heart raced fast, between regulating the pace of swimming movements, and the fear that attacked some of him. Ivory, the girl he's been talking to for days in unexpected situations. The girl who amazed him because of the simplicity he had, and the beautiful-faced girl who could make others scream because of his ridiculous manner. Today, the girl was screaming. Ask for help, and Junot will not be able to forgive himself if something happens to Ivory.

He must survive.

Junot continued to swim down the river in the depths of the increasingly dark embrace. Until finally, the shadow of the dress that was waving due to the puddle of water caught her vision. Junot spurred the movement of his hands and feet as quickly as possible, then grabbed Ivory's small, floating wrist. Pulling her with all her might towards the surface she must, of course, reach out before it's too late, before Ivory is completely out of breath.

Please survive.

Junot whispers in the heart. He also had time to scream furiously in the heart because the land felt increasingly distant.

Until finally, the silhouette of light that pierced through the water greeted the surface of Junot's face that was still flooded in the cold. Relieved to greet the side of the heart, he reaches a point of restlessness and fear, a goal he fought for despite having to risk his life. Saving Ivory.

Junot twisted his body, moved back to grab Ivory's body, then swam quickly to the surface to get to the mainland.

...***...

“You're okay right?” grey asked, cupping Dayana's dead face from the cold with a panicked and worried look that still dominated her gray pupils.

Dayana nodded and one covered the wet body and clothes of Dayana with a thick blanket.

“You alone?”

Dayana shakes. “I'm with princess Ivory.”

Grey is shocked to discover that Ivory is not around. There were only two Junot soldiers, and now it was getting crowded as several maids began to arrive. Including Fucia.

All views rotated as a shout from the direction of the river echoed loudly. “Help me and bring a warm blanket for princess Ivory.”

Junot carried Ivory's pale and frail body out of the river, and laid free on the vast expanse of grassland. Prepare to provide first aid until he does not expect someone to successfully dispel his movements. Grey brushed Junot off Ivory's body while looking at him intently.

“She's mine.”

Junot doesn't care and goes back to Ivory. But for the umpteenth time unexpectedly, Grey pulled his clothes firmly and then floated a raw bogem towards his face until he fell down with the corner of his bloody lips.

Some of the people who witnessed it were just silent. Two great men from Geogini were at odds, they never thought at all.

“Never touch Ivory, whatever it is. He's mine.” he said in an overly deep tone of voice full of emphasis for Junot. “Quick blanket princess Ivory.” he continued, giving orders to anyone who is carrying a thick blanket as help.

So, with all the knowledge and experience that Grey has. He tried to help Ivory who was unconscious. Grey brought one side of his face closer to Ivory's mouth and nose, examining the breath he found he did not feel at all. With a quick movement, it looks for Ivory pulse, feels weak—nyaris not there. Grey immediately performed CPR*, placing the overlapping palms in the center of Ivory's chest, then pressing it very carefully. He did it over and over, then went back to checking Ivory's breath.

If he was worried that something might happen to Dayana, this time the feelings for Ivory were more than just a worry. Grey was terrified, his body was trembling and his head was filled with a burning feeling that he could not describe in words. So scary.

Unresponsive, Grey flanks Ivory's nose with his fingers, puts his lips over the girl's lips, then blows air into Ivory's mouth, performing the artificial breathing technique many times, ivory opened her eyes and coughed with water coming out of her mouth and nose. Her body slowly warmed up, and her skin color returned to its original— no longer pale. Ivory survives, and the person she first sees when her manic opens is Grey. Junot passed by somewhere.

Noticing the many people surrounding her, Ivory grew even more fearful. He went to Fucia and hugged the girl tightly. Right now, only Fucia could he trust and could rely on. Ivory cried silently with tears that kept drenching her cheeks. Grey, who had just seen the fear and tears of Ivory, felt slashed. He even felt useless because he could not make the girl feel safe.

Grey's trembling body, sitting limply not far from Ivory was. The fear that was haunting him slowly went away, changing in relief. He did not stop saying Gratitude in his heart to see Ivory's condition slowly improving. Her soft and warm voice airs, “Quickly take her to her room, immediately replace with dry and warm clothes.” Grey's word for Fucia. Then the girl was about to pass looking for a stretcher, but Grey held Fucia down, stopped the steps of Ivory's personal lady-in-waiting and let her follow him. Without asking permission, Grey grabs Ivory's body. Putting her left arm behind her back, and slipping her right arm under her knee, lifting Ivory's weight easily like no weight, carried the girl away in her cradle.

In another corner, Dayana who was also still sitting in her starting place, could see fear in Grey's eyes. The response was much different to the one Grey had been giving her all this time. A warm gaze full of attention, worry, and fear of loss. Dayana realizes Grey is in love with Ivory. Dayana saw that. Real in front of the eyes. []
