After stopping by the Fourth Prince's room, Rakia recalled Prince Rui. ‘’I've never seen his condition after that day ... Maybe I should stop by for a second. There are things I want to make sure of as well.’’
......................
The Fifth Prince's Chamber
Chequek!
As usual, the room was pitch-black as Rakia entered.
‘’Why are you here?’’
Rakia's steps spontaneously stopped as soon as she heard the sound. ‘’Rui?’’
He stared at the man sitting on the bed with his head down.
‘’I don't understand, why everyone thinks Mezool's death was due to an accident?’’ ask Rakia.
Prince Rui was silent for a moment. ‘’You don't have to worry. Uncle already took care of Mezool.’’
‘’So? Oh yeah, how's your wound? Is it healed?’’ ask Rakia.
The man smiled lightly. ‘’You still care?’’
‘’Why do you say that?’’ asked Rakia feeling uncomfortable.
‘’I always wait for you but you never come,’’ replied Prince Rui.
‘’Haruka says no one can visit you se—‘’
‘’I did say that, but you should understand that you are not included!’’ upset Prince Rui cut Rakia's speech.
He recalled the incident in his sister's room just now.
‘’Why?’’ asked Prince Rui to stand with his head lowered towards Rakia.
Rakia was confused.
‘’Even to this day you still do not realize my existence. You're the one who cares about me so much that makes me expect a lot. I thought you had reciprocated my feelings by treating myself like that ... But why should he?!’’
‘’You came to me to cry when you were sad, then came to Brother Ramos when you were happy.’’
Prince Rui was silent for a moment staring at Rakia's face. ‘’Heh, you who behave like this make 2 men at once in your hand, is not it very greedy?’’
The deg!
Rakia felt something stab into her chest after hearing Prince Rui's remark. Slowly his eyes turned red.
‘’Congratulations! Because tomorrow, you're finally home. I am so sad that no one is taking care of that spoiled Brother Ramos anymore,’’ Prince Rui said.
Rakia looked at the man in disbelief.
‘’I know all this time you always go to his room if there is free time while serving my brothers. Looks like you two had enough fun without anyone else knowing in that room. If you want, I'll do it before you go home. Let's just say this is a bonus from me even though I'm not as good as Brother Ramos above ran—‘’
Plaque!
Prince Rui's face was facing one side. After receiving a slap, the man turned his head and was stunned to see Rakia was crying.
‘’You think I'm all that cheap?!’’ angry Rakia.
Prince Rui was wide-eyed, as Rakia smiled faintly.
‘’Thank you for getting the answer to my doubts. I think my decision is correct by choosing Ramos.’’
Rakia turned around to leave. ‘’Gokigenyou(See you later).’’
Prince Rui dropped himself while closing one of his eyes. ‘’What do I do? Why am I acting like this? I ... Aki made her cry with my harsh words. What's wrong with me?’’
Only a grain of tears flowed from the corner of his eye.
‘’Rakia, I didn't mean to say that to you. Why are you forcing me to act like this?’’

The Palace Corridor
Haruka frowned seeing Rakia crying after coming out of the Fifth Prince's room. ‘’That woman, I've told her not to visit the Fifth Prince before her condition is fully healed. But it seems he was scolded for coming anyway. Humph! It was worth it.’’
