Queen Rushi enters Siruverash's room as the soldiers and servants clean it. Suddenly his eyes caught a large frame covered in cloth. He looked at the frame before pulling the cover.
The deg!
‘’Looks like I understood after Mr. Siruverash called us murderers. It was all because of the person who was inside this frame ... Miss Lucy,’’ said the Great Queen who suddenly came.
Miss Lucy? I never found her name while reading that history book, Queen Rushi said in her heart.
‘’I didn't expect to see him again here. She is the younger brother of Mr. Siruverash, as well as your mother.’’
The deg!
Queen Rushi immediately flinched after hearing the Great Queen's words. He looked at the person in the frame with wide eyes.
The Great Queen looked up at Lucy's photo. ‘’At that time it happened also in winter....’’.
The flashback
Lucy's gestational age has entered her moon. After her husband died of a mysterious illness, only Siruverash accompanied her at all times. Every day, Siruverash would make food, take him for walks around the palace for the health of his fetus, and address all his needs.
‘’Wah~ flower network is very beautiful. Sister, thank you,’’ smile Lucy.
Siruverash was just as smiling as he put down a snack. ‘’You must eat a lot so that the nutrients for the fetus in your stomach are complete. Do not move too much because you will be exhausted.’’
Lucy chuckled making the sister frown.
‘’Why even laugh?’’ ask Siruverash.
‘’Kakak like mom alone who always make sure we both need,’’ smile Lucy.
Siruverash smiled displaying a row of teeth while stroking his sister's hair buds. ‘’Lucy, now it's just the two of us. Mom and Dad are gone, and neither are our grandparents. The only family I have is you. That's why I have to keep you very good.’’
Lucy hugged her sister. ‘’Then, under any circumstances, I promise I will not leave Brother.’’
‘’I also promise to keep protecting you,’’ smile Siruverash reply to hug.
Later that night, Lucy suddenly feels excruciating pain and bleeds. Seeing that made the healer need a special plant for his potion. Siruverash was sent with the soldiers to search for the plant in the middle of a blizzard.
‘’I have found the plant!’’ the cry of Siruverash appeared with a breath of breath.
‘’Nona Lucy has given birth to a baby girl,’’ said Butler Eris.
Siruverash was silent in silence while holding the baby. So excited, he shed tears. ‘’Lucy, your baby is born. So what's his name?’’
‘’Rushi. Her name is taken from the mention of Miss Lucy's name,’’ said the Great Queen who carried her baby.
‘’Rushi, yes? She's as beautiful as you are. Eh? Though the baby has just been born, but he is sleeping,’’ smile Siruverash.
For a moment everyone looked at each other with tense faces, until finally the Great Queen nodded.
‘’Nona Lucy has passed.’’
The deg!
Siruverash who was feeling happy just now was immediately transfixed as his smile faded. He looked at everyone making sure his hearing was not wrong. ‘’What happened?’’
‘’Nona Lucy shows signs of miscarriage. There's vaginal bleeding. If that continues, then Miss Lucy and the baby. One of them had to be saved and sacrificed the other,’’, said the Physician.
‘’And Miss Lucy chose to sacrifice her life to save her baby,’’ continued the healer.
Siruverash looked at Lucy who was currently lying with a calm face on the bed. He saw a lot of blood on the clothes of the brother who filled the mattress. At that moment, her tears fell down. He handed the baby to the butler Eris and approached his sister.
All just looked down with a sad face. With trembling hands, Siruverash held Lucy's already cold hand.
‘’No, he just slept from being too tired, right? Lucy can't be gone,’’ said Siruverash.
‘’Tuan Siruve—‘’
‘’She has promised not to leave me!’’ siruverash exclaimed standing up and glaring with a grain of tears.
With a stifled face, tensed neck and forehead veins and trembling fists, Siruverash bully his teeth. ‘’Hamba is her brother. Wh who? Who gave His Majesty the right to take the decision unilaterally?!’’
Flashback off
‘’Then that day, I never saw Mr. Siruverash smile again. You have the exact same face as Miss Lucy who died after giving birth to you. Perhaps that is why Mr. Siruverash hates you so much and seeks revenge, and adopted the orphaned Rukaia as his niece,’’ the Great Queen said.
