Lucas froze where he called the silver-haired girl by her real name, without her noticing. Rubiana asked why Lucas called him by that name. The pretty eyes blinked for a few times, while praying for her head and looking at the man with suspicious settings. Yes, he was drunk but not that drunk until he was deaf and did not hear the name Lucas mentioned to him.
"What did you call me?"
Lucas was silent, his lips suddenly becoming twisted. He could not explain that he did know about Rubiana's true identity.
"Hey! Sir, the bodyguard, answer me! You-you just called me Selena, didn't you?" guess the girl with sharp eyes. His index finger pressed down on Lucas' cheek several times. "Sir, why are you quiet?" rubiana asked the man, still with the same core question. Rubiana believes the man called her Selena.
"You misheard me, I said you were a drunk."
Rubiana then pushed the body of Lucas who had held it."Jeng jeng.you answered too late! That means you lied haha."
The girl was starting to drown, it seemed like the effects of the illicit drink were starting to react on her body. He began to rumble indistinctly, then walked out of the inn with staggered steps. Lucas followed her from behind, afraid that something might happen to the woman.
"Is it all human to be drunk always like this?" lucas asked himself as he saw Rubiana looking up at the sky while pointing towards the star-filled sky. Rubiana also made silly movements, such as hugging something with a staggering body.
"Woah.the moon is very close. The stars, too, are beautiful. Little star in the blue sky, very much decorate the sky.." the girl sang and giggled herself.
"What is she singing? Pfuts..." Lucas stifles laughter at Rubiana's behavior and hears her singing.
BRUGH!
A second later, Rubiana's body collapsed and had not been helped by Lucas. Suddenly the man was surprised and helped him who was now sitting in the grass.
"Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?" lucas asked, extending his hand to Rubiana.
The girl shook her head back and forth with a quick movement. Dizziness around him, he's trying to see Lucas. "Master bodyguard, who's your twin brother by the way? He's just as handsome as you."
"ASTAGA.this girl. Come on stand up, I'll take you to the inn!" lucas said to Rubiana who had begun to daze.
"I want to be carried.." Suddenly the girl stretched out her hand, she asked Lucas to carry it with her pot.
Lucas let out a heavy sigh, then squatted down in front of the girl. Asked him to ride with a gentleman to his wide back. Lucas easily carried Rubiana's light body.
"It turns out you're very light, as light as cotton." Lucas muttered as he walked in a drunk Rubiana's arms. They head to the inn and Lucas realizes that the two of them are walking too far away.
"Master, I want to ask.Did my father, mother and sister hate me?" rubiana asked with her arms around Lucas' neck.
"What mistakes did you make that they'd hate you?" ask Lucas to the woman.
"I defied and I killed them." replied Rubiana with a bitter smile on her lips, but Lucas could not see it because Lucas was on his back. But Lucas can feel the pain in Rubiana's heart because half of her red diamonds are inside the girl's bracelet.
"It wasn't you who killed them, it was fate." Lucas tried to comfort Rubiana, even though he didn't know how to entertain her.
Despite being drunk, Rubiana can still imagine how tragic the deaths of her parents, uncles and aunts, and her sister Arsen in the hands of a man named Hyacinth. The man he loved, that man had already destroyed everything. But whose fault? Yeah, Rubiana felt it was her fault. If only he had not given the man space to enter into his life, allowing the man to occupy space in his heart, this would have been prevented and would not have happened.
"It's not your fault and they're definitely in a beautiful place up there" Lucas told Rubiana.
"really? Are they in a beautiful place? But are they happy? Did they forgive me?" rubiana asked in a loud voice.
"Surely." Lucas had no idea what his words could comfort Rubiana or not, he was not a person who liked to say a lot. He only hoped that Rubiana was not too sad and sorry about what had happened.
"It seems like they haven't been able to forgive me before I took back my kingdom and also destroyed that bastard!" rubiana said with anger.
Lucas was silent with a shocked face, so he understood what purpose Rubiana had in the palace of Istvan. The girl wanted revenge and destroyed it from within.
"Too dangerous, don't do it." Lucas said unknowingly. He doesn't want Rubiana to be in danger. "At least you can count on someone else, you must have a brother or a friend right? They can definitely help you." Lucas suggested.
"I have a best friend, I have two more brothers. But I'm not sure they'll help me, they must hate me! This all happened because of me! Because ME!" Rubiana cried, she felt guilty and her chest began to clutter with regret about her family. He felt that Aiden, Theodore and Rosela also hated him.
"That's impossible, they love you" said Lucas who did not know anything, what he wanted to do was make Rubiana not sad anymore.
Rubiana shook her head quickly, as if to brush off all that. "They hate me, so I'm going to bring things back to the way they were, even if I can't fix what happened or give back the lives of the people I love" she said, he cried and fell asleep in Lucas's arms.
Lucas could feel the wounds experienced by Rubiana aka Selena, guilt, affection, heartache mixed into one in the heart of the girl and made her more hurt. His determination of revenge grew stronger, because of the anger and all those feelings.
"Well, if you want revenge - I'll help you" Lucas told Rubiana, who had fallen asleep on his back.

That night in the Gallahan kingdom, Theodore was there with Aiden. The two of them were drinking while telling about the kingdom of Istvan and the people who were killed there. They feel the deepest pain and hurt of losing the person they love most. Theodore had wanted to go to Istvan, but he decided to visit Aiden first to set up a strategy to take down Hyacinth.
"You don't blame your sister, she's innocent! No!" Theodore is upset that Aiden continues to blame Selena for all this.
"But if it wasn't for that fool and the love slave, surely none of this would have happened!" aiden exclaimed and then sipped back the drink in the bottle until it ran out.
"Do you love your sister or not? Why do you keep blaming him, huh? He's not with Arsen either and neither are your parents.At least you still have someone you love, but me? You know your sister is everything to me!" Theodore clutched his chest. Whenever he thought of Selena who no longer existed in this world, his heart ached and it was obviously WOUND.
"If you love her, you should have come and taken my sister away on her engagement day. Loving in silence will not work, without action! You idiot! You and my brother are both stupid." Aiden shed tears, even though he blamed Selena for calling him stupid, Aiden still loved Selena from the bottom of his heart. Believe that his heart is also broken to lose family, even though there is still Rosela.
"You're right Aiden.if Selena's still around, if I can turn back the clock.I'll take your sister straight to the undercover!" yodore's exclaims are always imagined face Selena.
Not long after, the two men cried and their heads leaned against the table.
