One and Only
57 - Restrained in a Dream.

Along with his assistant, Arvan went to see the King in the Royal Palace's office.

Once inside the workspace of the Royal Palace, there was already a King standing behind his desk.

"Is there anything I need to help you with, Sire?" ask Arvan

"Kan, it is you who always help me when taking care of work. Arvan, I've checked and signed some of the approval documents you deliberately brought and put in my luggage while we were on vacation to the villa before. You check it again and for the file documents that I didn't handle, it means I refused the consent request submitted in the file," obviously the King while handing over some of the documents in question to Arvan.

"All right, I understand. I will review the documents soon" said Arvan, who received some documents from the King's hand.

"Then, you and your assistant .. please select some important documents that I have to work on, while I am away for a while .".

"Where do you want to go, Sire?" ask Arvan

"I promised Arsha to teach and accompany her to study after returning to the Royal Palace. In a moment, I also have to have interaction and closeness with my son. I won't be long and will be back soon to take care of the work with you" said Raja

"Baginda, you asked me to come see you, but after I came, you'd leave immediately ... " said Arvan who felt stuck because he was annoyed by the difference in position and status between himself and the King.

Just then there was the sound of knocking on the door from outside the Royal Palace's workroom.

"Ayahanda, I'm coming ... " There was the voice of the Crown Prince from outside the room.

"Well, since you promised the Crown Prince first, keep your promise. However, next time do not be too often absent from work," said Arvan

"I wouldn't like that and I know you can understand. I will go and come back later," said the King who then went outside from the Royal Palace's study and approached his favorite Crown Prince.

Then the King went with Arsha accompanied by the Queen's servants to study elsewhere. This time the King wanted to have quality time only with his son.

Arvan could only sigh deeply staring at the work piled up before him after the King left.

"Rino, it must have been very much for you to take care of all the work here when the King and I left" said Arvan, speaking to his assistant Rino.

"Although this is all still work that I have to handle. However, I still cannot take care of all this work alone. I'm sorry," said Rino

"No need to say sorry. Neither I nor the King could cope with this much work. Otherwise, it might not have been a long time since I worked with the King, but the work is still stacked like this and if we were able to do all this together, I might not need to hire you anymore" Arvan said

Speaking with Rino, Arvan recalls the servant boy in the Royal Villa whose name is almost similar to his male assistant. Remembering the male servant who became familiar with Yura beyond him made both the Great Advisor as well as the Royal Main Physician feel annoyed in his heart.

Unknowingly, Arvan even kicked off the table with a file of documents in his hand. The sound caused when Arvan kicked the table was able to make Rino feel surprised.

"No, it's not because of you. Forgetit. Sorry to surprise you, "Arvan replied

"Well, it doesn't matter .. " said Rino

"This Rino seems to often have a good and right guess. As this time though it was not directly because of her, what made me feel annoyed was that her name made me remember the male servant who became visibly familiar with Yura. Rino has a good guessing ability like Yura, "inner Arvan

"So, what makes Mr Arvan feel upset is because of His Majesty who left or because of other things or people? For example, maybe because of Miss Yura?" asked Rino who was curious because Arvan was stunned like he was thinking about something.

"You .. I told you, forget it. Go back to work, " replied Arvan who was reluctant to share his problems with the man's assistant.

"Great Counselor Arvan just now seemed like he wanted to say something else. If you want to ask me where and how I know, the answer was because she was with Miss Yura and Mr. Arvan was immediately unhappy about not being able to talk further with Ms. Yura when I called her at the King's request," inner Rino who could instantly guess.

"This time Rino's guess is right again. Speaking of guesses, Yura can guess that all this time I liked the Queen in just a short time. Then, could she also guess that I became fond of her after we both knew each other enough? After all, what I really like is Yura, I like the Queen just wrongly thought she was my childhood savior who turned out to be Yura. According to his ability, I hope Yura can guess in that direction just a little so that she can understand a little and not be too misunderstood with me," Arvan's inner self

"And speaking of Yura, he said he couldn't talk to me even if it was only for a moment because he had to coach Arsha. Come to think of it, the King left also because he wanted to accompany and teach Arsha to learn. Even Arsha himself had approached the King here earlier, so he couldn't possibly train with Yura. Then Yura just lied when he said he would coach Arsha? Or does Yura not know that Arsha finally prefers to study with the King? Whatever really happened, in the end I couldn't talk to him. Even after I can figure it out right now I can't go find Yura to talk to her because of all this heaping work. This job is trapping me! Even if it wasn't for work, I think it would be very difficult for me to be able to talk to Yura again. It's saddening my fate" Arvan said in his heart.

Arvan was really stuck in the workspace of the Royal Palace with a job that ensnared him there. In the end, Arvan can only take care of work without passion and therefore his assistant must work harder

Next day.

In the morning like this, Arvan usually woke up from his sleep. But this time it was different. The Great Advisory Lord as well as the Royal Main Physician were still struggling under his comfortable blanket and was on a soft bed.

Although not often, sometimes Arvan does like to wake up a little late from his sleep. The reason that made it that way was because it was too tired after taking care of the work that had piled up in the previous day. Just like this time. Because not long ago home from vacation in the Kingdom Villa makes him have to take care of more work left during the holidays to make him feel tired and late to wake up early.

But, that's not the only reason. Because in addition to feeling very tired after mebgurus work, now Arvan is stuck in the dream world. It was not just an ordinary dream, but it was part of his memory.

In his dream, Arvan saw the figure of himself as a child. At that time little Arvan was in a garden of the Royal Palace and while walking casually he accidentally stepped on the tail of a dog. The dog was angry and ran towards him until inevitably Arvan fled.

When little Arvan fell down from stumbling over a rock after running, came a little girl who tried to save him from chasing the dog by blocking Arvan right in front of the dog.

After the rescue process that seemed not so difficult, Arvan was chatting lightly with the little girl of his rescue. Although it looks ordinary, actually Arvan was happy to chat with the girl who saved him who bahkn gave him a meat cake box and handkerchief to wrap his injured hand due to a fall.

Then, Arvan was disappointed when the girl had to leave because someone was looking for her. Until finally, little Arvan felt sad when he realized he liked the little girl his savior, but after that he even saw the girl was with the Crown Prince with a look of mutual love.
