Not noticeably, the night grew late after the eleven men spent a full day in the Fourth Prince's room. They said goodbye and walked out except for the Fifth Prince.
Prince Ramos frowned seeing that one of his younger siblings was still standing in place with his head lowered. ‘’You go back to your room too.’’
‘’Why is Brother Ramos hiding it?’’ ask Prince Rui.
The Fourth Prince did not reply and just silence made Prince Rui bully his teeth.
‘’Ramos!’’ prince Rui.
‘’Shut up better,’’ replied Prince Ramos flat.
‘’Then what about now? We are all filled with great regret for not knowing something this big,’’ Prince Rui said.
Prince Ramos looked at his sister with a sad look. ‘’Sorry.’’
However, the Fifth Prince was silent for a moment while staring towards the floor.
‘’If you know like this .. Heh, hahaha ... Ahahaha, what's wrong with me? Why am I crying?’’ kekeh Prince Rui rubbed his eyes repeatedly.
Why am I crying? This is not me, he said in his heart.
‘’I'm really crazy, so many events happened and I? Me ... Eh?’’
For the first time Prince Rui was wide-eyed to see the Fourth Prince crying. Tears fell from the two men. The two stood and faced each other.
‘’If I really won't be able to survive until the end of this month, will you promise me something?’’ ask Prince Ramos.
‘’What did Brother Ramos say?’’ confused Prince Rui.
Prince Ramos was silent. He clenched his hands even though he was not willing to say this to his sister. His feelings were so hurt but he had no other choice. ‘’Please take care of Rakia for me.’’
The deg!
Prince Rui's eyes were rounded.
‘’The medicine I drink will not guarantee my life until the end of bu—‘’
‘’You will be healed! Stop acting like you're going to die! Aren't you thinking about Rakia's feelings?!’’ prince Rui interrupted his brother's speech.
‘’If that is true, I should be healed by now. But, until now not a single medicine had managed to work inside my body. My illness is getting worse. How do I perper—‘
Bugh!
His words were cut short as the Fifth Prince slashed a punch making himself fall to the floor.
"Rui?"
‘’Kakak Ramos will heal! Everyone says this too. Don't make me change my mind about Rakia. Shitsurei shimasu(Excuse me),’’ said Prince Rui passed leaving the room.
Did he bless my relationship with Rakia? I don't think he's going to let go of the woman Prince Ramos said in his heart.
He sat up with tears still falling.
‘’You know what about how I feel? Although I married her, but at the end of this month no one can guarantee my life. In the past, I wasn't afraid of death and didn't even care. But after Rakia came, for the first time I felt terrified waiting for that day to arrive.’’
Prince Ramos clenched his hands with a sad face. ‘’Rakia, I don't want to leave you, can I?’’

The Palace Corridor
Prince Rui moved his feet quickly. His feelings are mixed. He didn't care until he got to his room.
Chequek!
He breathed a rough breath.
If I really won't be able to survive until the end of this month, will you promise me something?
Please take care of Rakia for me. (Prince Rui remembered)
His hands clenched while bluffing his teeth.
Basic, where has your confident side taken Rakia all this time? Now you're a coward! It really pisses me off, Prince Rui said inwardly.
