A few moments later...
The afternoon breeze witnessed Xi watching Ara fall asleep in her bed. The handsome prince who was the only son of the Arthemis Kingdom looked wholeheartedly caressing the cheek of his girl. A girl who until this moment she still tried to be hers. What was in Ara really made him lulled and drunk. Xi had fallen in love with the guardian girl of the tree of heaven.
Ara is said to be the droplet of the tree-keeper goddess of heaven, which was foretold long ago. King Arthemis did not think that Ara was the girl in question. He still could not believe that the girl was like Ara. Which he had previously seen for himself the light coming out of Ara. Makes her have confidence if Ara can heal her son.
Xi is the container of the snake-stealth queen who made a pact with Arthemis' ancestor. Which by agreement can make Arthemis respected even feared by his opponent. However, Xi also had to endure years of suffering. He must try as hard as possible to control himself so as not to be controlled by the snake demon queen. Which makes him have two different personalities. His emotions are unstable and easily carried away by the atmosphere around him.
Now all Xi can do is try to get Ara's heart to calm down in life. Because only Ara is able to make Xi feel the vibrations of love in his heart. Which he had never felt before. And the hope was, Ara would accept it.
You're so pretty, Ara. Every time I see you somehow my heart feels calm and serene. As if you no longer need anything in this world. You're quite fulfilling everything. Is this what you call falling in love?
Xi gently rubbed Ara's cheeks with her fingers. Not long after the girl woke up from her sleep. Yet...
What'sthis?!
Ara realized that something was moving on her cheek. He remembered something. He also woke up from his sleep.
"Dimension!!!"
"Ara, it's me."
Xi stood up. He tried to calm Ara down. A moment later Ara realized that there was nothing there. However, his chest was heaving with fear. He rubbed his head weakly.
"God ...." Ara was overwhelmed with excessive anxiety.
"It's me Xi, Ara. Be calm. There's no snake here." Xi tried to get close to Ara.
Ara swallowed her saliva. He looked towards Xi. "Prince?" Ara looked at Xi who was standing while sticking out her hands. He was ready to help Ara get off her bed.
Xi smiled, trying to calm Ara down. But he also felt guilty. The girl he loved was terrified.
"Ara, don't be afraid. There's me." Xi also tried to smile amid his regret.
Ara is now traumatized by a snake trying to harm her. And of course Xi already knew about what happened to Ara in the palace medicine room. He also feels guilty. That's why Ara was scared. Xi knew that the snake was the embodiment of the snake queen who did not accept Ara's presence in the palace. Xi realized.
