One and Only
37 - Stomach Wound in the Neck.

The King and Queen went out of the room together.

As soon as the door opened, Arsha was waiting for the King and Queen.

"I heard from the servant, the King's Father and Queen Mother had not yet come out of the room, so I came to invite the King's Father and Queen Mother to eat together" Arsha said

"Mom just finished helping Dad get ready" the Queen said

"Come, let's go to the dining room .. "give the King.

Arsha nodded, and he went with the King and Queen to the dining room.

Back then, Yura and Arvan had just come out of their respective rooms simultaneously. Yura and Arvan whose rooms were right opposite also made the two of them meet each other.

Yura who realized her eyes met with Arvan's property immediately turned her eyes away. It was then that Yura realized that there was a King, Queen, and Arsha moving along.

"Aunt Yura and Uncle Arvan, also just came out of the room, huh?" ask Arsha while saying hello.

Yura only smiled from behind the veil that always covered part of her face. At that moment, Arvan again felt sad because Yura ignored him by taking her eyes off him.

"Greetings and respect to His Royal Highness Family ... " Yura and Arvan instantly saluted in turn.

"It's really awkward that you two always salute us when we're on vacation like this. What's more, now we are not in the Royal Palace, so there is no need to be too formal and relaxed," said the King

"Okay, Sire .. "said Yura

"You two haven't eaten either, have you? Then, let's go to the dining room together," said the Queen

"I want to walk with Auntie Yura" said Arsha who immediately approached Yura.

"Baginda Raja and Her Majesty the Queen, please go ahead first" said Arvan

"No, you're the only one who walked the highway with Arsha. We'll both walk in the back" said the king

"Come, let's go first .. " said Arsha who immediately walked in the middle between Yura and Arvan.

"Seeing Arsha's path with Yura and Arvan is like seeing a harmonious family. And Arsha is our son" said the Queen who walked with the King behind Yura, Arsha, and Arvan who walked first in front.

"You are right, Queen ." said the King.

"Unfortunately we still do not know what the relationship between Yura and Arvan is like" said the Queen

Arvan did walk with Yura and Arsha. However, Arvan actually felt himself just walking alone without a partner. Because the pairing is only the King and Queen, then Yura and Arsha. He really felt isolated alone.

While eating together in the dining room, just like before, the servants were asked to leave the dining room so that the atmosphere of eating together felt more family and free for Yura to open her veil during the meal.

It had been Yura's decision to continue hiding her face that was similar to the Queen's and no one could oppose and forbid her decision, including the King even once.

When there was a male servant who wanted to enter the dining room, the other servants immediately forbade and prevented the male servant at the entrance.

"When eating together, all servants are forbidden to enter."

"Why should it be like that?"

"It was the order of the King who wanted to keep the atmosphere of family eating."

"It's a pity, then ...."

"When I woke up this morning, I was already in the room and sleeping on the bed, when last night we were all outside to see the view of the night sky together. So, who moved me last night?" asked Arsha who opened her voice to break the silence while eating together.

"Baginda Raja moved Arsha into the room last night. Your Majesty is a very good father" replied Yura who lied.

"Then, thank you very much, Father of the King .".

"Hmm ... equally," replied the King with a little awkwardness when he had to admit things he was not doing.

Perhaps Yura answered like that because he wanted the father and son relationship between the King and Arsha to be better, closer, and familiar. It was Yura last night who moved Arsha from the villa yard into the room.

"Yura, what's wrong with your neck? Why does it look so bad?" ask the Queen who is trying to shift the subject.

"really? I was unconscious. Though yesterday even while preparing before going outside the room, I saw that my neck was still fine. There were no visible cuts or bruises" murmured Yura who directly touched her own neck.

"I'm sorry, Yura. Her Majesty the Queen, the bruise on Yura's neck is my deed. However, don't misunderstand me. Yesterday we both did a bit of martial arts training. It seems I hit too hard on Yura's neck while trying to escape from Yura's hand grip" Arvan said

"No need to say sorry, Arvan. It's not your fault, I'm the one who wasn't careful to get this bruise. There is no need to blame yourself" Yura said

"Aunt Yura, does that hurt?" ask Arsha

"Not at all. Arsha, there is no need to worry" Yura replied

"It's actually my fault, Mom, Dad. Yesterday while I was practicing martial arts, I asked Aunt Yura and Uncle Arvan to set an example of how to fight me by fighting each other until Aunt Yura got a bruised scar on her neck. I promise I won't ask for anything like that again" Arsha said

"You don't have to blame yourself either, Arsha. This wound is not your fault" Yura said

"So, in yesterday's martial arts practice who won between Aunt Yura and Uncle Arvan?" ask the King

"No one won, we ended up with a draw ." replied Arvan.

"Winning or losing is not important" the Queen said

"Your Majesty the Queen, you don't need to worry. Winning or losing is not important, but getting hurt during training should not be a problem either. Because the wound itself indicates that we must and can be strong to defend and fight. It will be a test of how much power we have. I hope that if Arsha gets hurt during training or in a real fight later, you won't worry too much" Yura said

"What Yura said is true" said the King

"If Arsha gets hurt during training or a real fight later, it doesn't matter as long as it's not a fatal wound because he's a man, but you're a girl, Yura".

"However, I am an adult, so this wound is not a problem" Yura said

"Just because you're an adult, doesn't that mean you can't get hurt because it means you can take better care of yourself?" ask the Queen

"It shouldn't be like that either because above the sky there is still sky. If there is a strong person that means there is also a stronger one, what more power that Arvan has must be greater than mine which is only a girl," Yura replied

"Having known you were a girl, why did you choose to fight and wander?" ask the Queen

"Because that's the path I chose myself and I do love it. Though all this time you never had a problem about the things I like," Yura replied

"That's because all this time I've never seen you hurt. Why do you always answer all my words?" ask the Queen

"I'm just resonating with the thing you're talking about and if you ask, I'll answer it. When it comes to these bruises, you don't have to worry. Later I will apply the medicine to quickly disappear and I will cover it so that it is not visible" replied Yura

Finally, the Queen was silent because she could no longer speak because Yura always spoke her words.
