King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 107 of the Second Ritual
Grandpa took us all to a place more open than ever. I walked hand in hand with my mother and grabbed her arm spoiled. Every now and then I lean on my mother's shoulder, her face, still looks as beautiful as the last time I saw her 10 years ago, we even look the same age as if walking together. Because it's night, I can't see clearly anything around us. It was clear that we were in front of a large lake.
Grandfather stretched his hands up and instantly the atmosphere became bright and amazing. A magnificent lake similar to a lake on a Komodo island, was clearly plastered in front of us at this time. I feel like I'm actually in that phenomenal lake.
“What is this place Grandpa, this is what is called Komodo island lake?” I was amazed until I didn't realize my hand had slipped from my mother's arm. I ran to the edge of the lake and hoped that what I saw was not a dream. What a beautiful sight.
“Please do that. The next ritual, you two must bring this candle to the middle of the lake until your bodies both drown at the bottom of the lake.” Suddenly in both hands of grandfather Refald there was a lighted candle placed on a small cup rather wide.
Each of these candles Grandpa gave to me and also to Refald who stood behind his grandfather. His eyes remained straight ahead, and he still did not want to see me.
What's the matter? why won't Refald look at me? He also did not say a word. Good for me, or anyone else. He didn't even say hello to my mother. She is also her own mother-in-law. Don't say hello, just look no. I was deep in heart, too disappointed to see Refald suddenly acting so indifferent.
I'd love to cancel this wedding but, I can't. I'm afraid something bad will happen if I suddenly cancel it. Moreover, this is an agreement that we are obliged to carry out even though I do not know what this agreement is for.
I looked at the small candle, its dim light shining all over the face and as if penetrating directly into my soul. For some reason, I suddenly felt that the light of this candle was entering my body.
I put my feelings aside for Refald and turned around to prepare for the next ritual. To be honest, I was afraid to perform this second ritual. Because we had to submerge ourselves into the bottom of the water that looks very deep in the middle of the lake. Sounds like a person who is committing suicide.
However, once again this is not in the real world, so I cannot possibly die drowning in this lake that somehow exists where it is. There must be some reason why Refald's grandfather told us to do all this. And we, must be obliged to follow all its rules without any conditions.
“You can start now,” Refald grandfather orders on us.
I could feel Refald walking and standing on equal footing with me. The distance we stood was also not too far, my sleeves and clothes even touched each other. Strangely enough, Refald remained silent and would not look at me or talk to me at all.
Slowly, the two of us walked together towards the outskirts of the lake. We both went straight into the water the longer it went, the deeper it went. Our bodies were both floating in the lake water like people drowning. The candle that was in our hands also suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Refald and I were shocked, but they couldn't do anything either. I tried to swim in the water and head to the surface before I ran out of air. Unfortunately, Refald just kept quiet and didn't help me. Of course it pisses me off half to death. He just kept focusing on looking forward and also not doing what I am doing now.
As I struggled with my thoughts about Refald's unusual and indifferent attitude change, I was suddenly in another room again. I'm sure I'm no longer at the bottom of the lake. Instead of being in a room with a condition lying on a soft and comfortable mattress. The clothes I was wearing were not wet at all.
I looked around where I was. When viewed from the decoration, this place must be inside the palace again. Because, a lot of antique objects made of gold are neatly displayed in every corner of the room.
I was shocked to hear someone coming towards me. I tried to get up and how surprised I was, because there were many people around me and on the other side, there was also Refald who was sitting sweetly on the bed just like me and was being treated in such a way. I almost didn't recognize him.
Waitaminute! Dirias? I was surprised by my own thoughts. In front of my eyes, Refald was wearing a typical palace dress as well as myself who was also wearing clothes and very different from what I was wearing earlier.
My mouth was open looking at my own clothes. This is really quite remarkable. For the first time in my life I experienced so much magic. Although Refald has also shown me many miracles that are beyond human reason, still .. shock, amazement, and amazement will not adequately describe the situation I feel today.
Plus, up to this very second, Refald was still a thousand languages silent. His mouth seemed to be tightly locked and could no longer speak. There are so many questions I want to ask him. However, if Refald ignores me like that, how can I ask him? All I could do now was look at him and look for my own answer through his expression.
He had already turned into a statue and was more like a walking robot! I muttered in annoyance.
“You two are ready?” ask my mother who suddenly appeared from behind the door.
I smiled looking at my mother's truly beautiful face. The arrival of my mother, successfully faded the vexation I felt for Refald. Suddenly, I thought of my father who must have loved my mother very much. That's why, until now father never had the intention to marry again. Seeing how my mother is, it is quite natural considering how beautiful and graceful the woman in front of me is that there is no reason not to love a woman as beautiful as mother. There will be no other woman who can take my mother's place in my father's heart. Though death has separated the two of them, their love remains forever.
“You are really beautiful, dear.” My mother grabbed my body into her arms. I don't know why I'd want to cry if my mom hugged me like this.
I want this hug every day, and I know that it's not going to be possible because our world is different. Even so, I remained happy, still given the opportunity to be back with my mother even though it could not be forever. Our moment together now, I will keep it in my heart and I will make the most beautiful memories that I will never forget.
“Let's go, you two have to do the last rite before you really officially get married in this other world.” my mother helped me stand up and led me to walk to where Refald had been since when he had been standing on the doorstep as if waiting for me.
Right now, we're like a couple of real brides right now. The difference is, we are not brides in the real world, but brides in another world, an invisible world filled with astral beings.
