KING IN THE NORTH
chapter 28 get hurt


Princess Aurora no longer wanted to think about Prince Artur because for her right now only the health of Prince Keive was the most important. Although Marra has so far only been able to wait and wait, time has been slower than usual. Although the palace healer had convinced Prince Keive would soon be awake but it had been almost three days and he had not shown any signs of improvement.


However, Mara still felt what happened to her brother was also because of her, if only that day Mara thought clearly and did not rush to tell her brother Olive's situation, this must not have happened.


"Keive, forgive me," Mara lamented inwardly as she knelt and prayed in her little cubicle.


Marra accidentally turned off the entire candle and left the room in complete darkness. He just wanted to be alone for a few days without bothering anyone. The silent atmosphere made Marra feel a little calm, until suddenly there was a ringing of door hinges, and a servant was already standing nervously in the doorway with the light barging in blinding Marra's eyes.


"Daughter, the Prince just regained consciousness and asked you."


Marra jumped from her seat and immediately stood up to approach the service.


"Are you sure? "


"Yes, Princess."


The maid nodded confidently and Mara immediately ran into her brother's room...


"Keive.." said Marra was moved to see her older brother.


Prince Keive was completely awake and some of the palace healers were examining him.


"The prince will recover soon, he just needs time to rest."


"Can I talk to him? " ask Marra.


"Of course, Princess, please we will check it out in an hour" the palace physician said before leaving the two of them.


Mara walked over to her brother who was still lying weakly on the bed, but the young man was already smiling at her.


"You're scaring me" said Marra as she knelt by her bed.


"Don't cry, Mara."


"I'm fine, look at you," Marra men dong was going to stare at her older brother poignantly.


"Olive, I can't take him home" said the Prince.


However, Mara is also sad about it, but the safety of her older brother is still much more important to Marra, given how horrible the various stories about the forbidden forest are.


Prince Keive was carrying Olive with his horse when suddenly the forest ground seemed to tremble and throw their bodies off his horse, Olive bouncing away from him. Although Prince Keive had often heard the story of magic creatures inhabiting the forbidden forest but only that time he really saw a creature as high as nearly forty feet roared like a lion but was bodied like a centipede giant.


The creature tore apart his body despite not intending to kill him, the monster was too impossible to fight. Prince Keive only worried about Olive to the point of not caring about her own safety, although in fact the prince realized that the great creature only had the fuss of keeping Olive away from him. Every time he tried to run towards Olive the big clawed creature again threw his body until it bounced.


"You know I'm really worried about you."


"Calm Mara, I'm fine, the creature doesn't seem to want to kill me."


"You really don't care about your safety."


"Thank you for Prince Artur finding me."


"Artur." quoted Marra in wonder.


"Yes, he took me home."


Mara did not understand why no one ever mentioned her name until today, Mara also did not see it when there was panic the other day.


"Prince Artur doesn't want to worry you, you're lucky to have my sister."


"I'm not sure... " It seems like Mara does need to be reassured repeatedly for that.


"I'm sorry, Mara."


"Why are you defending him too ?" sad Marra.


"He loves you, Marra. "


" I was the first to allow her to marry you."


"How can you do that? " Marra was completely shocked and still could not understand the reason for her older brother.


"Prince Artur came and knelt to me to ask you. "


"Are you also going to give me to every man who kneels to you? " asked Marra later and prince Keive firmly shook his head.


"I follow you every time you run into the forest, sorry that I worry about you, Marra. "___ "I was so angry that Prince Artur kept you from spending the night with him in the forest. If it wasn't for the next day that he had first met me to kneel asking for you, maybe I would have never forgiven him either. "


Marra could not afford to stare at Prince Keive unless she just wanted to show her two eyes that were filled with tears. Marra looked up for a while to prevent her tears from falling, she just let out a heavy sigh and then swept it rough. Marra only returned to dare to look at Prince Keive after feeling quite calm, however Marra did not want anyone to see him injured.


"She still loves other women .." said Marra later.


"Is that all that makes it hard for you to forgive her? "


Marra herself was not convinced, for sure she just felt she could not get to know Prince Artur properly. Marra admitted that she had fallen deeply in love with the young man she met in the middle of the forest, but when she had to juxtapose him with the name of Prince Artur, Marra felt they were different figures.


Even until now Marra still can not give up the memories of the two of them, although repeatedly Marra had to swallow her disappointment. If Theonya is the prince of Artur then the young man who loved her all this time may just be just his imagination.


"Are you going to forgive him if I ask him?"


Marra didn't say anything, shook her head either.


"Get him, Marra. "


The prince was still staring at her, and only then did Marra come to her senses.


"Is he here? " question Marra was suddenly half-sniffed from her sitting position, and prince Keive nodded.


"He was talking to Yang Mulya. "


"Oh, "cry Marra feels amazing to be betrayed by everyone.


"He's waiting for you, Marra. "


Prince Keive reminded his sister.


While Marra was still staring at Prince Keive who was able to sit on the bed. If considering his condition yesterday it seems that the recovery of prince keive is still very extraordinary for him, and only a miracle can help him. Obviously it is not something that is natural, normally humans will not heal as quickly as that, unless ___ it looks like Marra knows who did it.


"Remember, I did all this just because of you, " said Marra before getting up and coming out of her brother's room.


*****


"Do you still want to punish me?" prince Artur said as he walked up to Marra and knelt down.


"I'll also jump over a cliff if you don't give me a chance, Marra."


"Omong empty! " tepis Marra was upset, she knew that an Artur would not die that easily.


"Thank you for helping my brother, " said Marra later. Of course Marra is also not stupid, he knows Artur is also the one who has made Prince Keive awake today.


"I'm sorry, Marra. "


"Is that all you want? " question Marra sounds more like a challenge.


"I want to marry you. " Artur asserted later.


"Why? " continued Marra, "why me? " ask the girl at the young man who had gone back to his knees in front of her. "Don't tell me you made Hold fall into the mud too! "


Marra may never know what Prince Artur has done to get his heart but Marra can feel it when the Prince kisses the back of his hand in a very long pause.


"Please don't run away from me again, "please Artur when looking up to catch the unmoving Marra. Until then he got up and took the girl into his arms, it seemed that Marra also did not mind being there. Artur will only feel relieved when the girl who always tried to escape from him was really willing to be in his arms.
