The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 111 MEETING OF GIBSON KYLER WITH GRANIA FRISKA
The moon half-decorated the sky of Centauri Palace that night. The breeze blew sending the air quite cold....
At that time in a beautiful garden studded with various flowers and illuminated dozens of strange but beautiful lights. It is located behind the residence of Princess Kayshila.
In the middle of the park, Kayshila sat in a long chair. To his right sits very closely with Dhafin aka Ghavin.
The pair of young people had long enough to talk about the status of those who turned out to be brothers.
In the initial chat, Dhafin also told about his meeting with Uncle Killian, as well as about the killing of Uncle Killian and his wife's children.
Hearing Dhafin's story, Kayshila also felt sorry for the death of Uncle Killian and his family and denounced the actions of the cruel and disgusted Choman Office.
"What did you tell grandma and two aunts about our relationship?" tanya Dhafin wanted to know after they finished doing the preliminary chat.
"I've told you that we already know each other, even lived together for 8 years.", said Kayshila. After that he stopped talking which made Dhafin curious. It was as if Kayshila was deliberately joking.
"Did you tell them we were lovers?" dhafin asked as he looked at Kayshila.
Stared instead of answering questions, he looked back at Dhafin with a smile marking Dhafin who looked serious to know Kayshila's answer.
"Answer, Kayshila!" dhafin said although calm and calm but terbesit a little annoyance. "Don't joke!"
"No" Kayshila finally answered. "I said we raised brothers."
"But actually I have not been willing to accept this fate, Kanda," he continued, which is now sad.
I mean Kayshila said that she couldn't accept fate if they were half-brothers.
Dhafin immediately grabbed the beautiful girl, then held her tightly. After peeping over Kayshila's head, he said advising.
"Don't say that, Kayshila. Accept the provisions of the Sky Ruler with complete submission. What He has destined must be good for us."
"I'll try it, Kanda."
For some time the two young people strengthened their hearts to remain steadfast in accepting the provisions of destiny from the Sky Ruler.
Instantly it struck Kayshila's mind about Her Highness the Great Queen and Princess Clarabelle's words this afternoon.
Her Majesty the Queen asked her and also to the entire family of Centauri Palace to keep a secret first about Her Majesty the Queen to Dhafin. That's why no one told you that Her Majesty the Queen is Princess Aurellia.
While Empress Chalinda and the people who accompanied her, except Lady Carissa also did not know that Her Majesty the Queen was Princess Aurellia. Because Her Majesty the Queen also kept her secret to them.
"You see, we know that we are brothers, so your relationship with Princess Aurellia can continue" Kayshila said as if fishing.
"I don't know, Kayshila," said Dhafin, who was now facing forward looking up at the night sky.
His voice was half sighing. The handsome young man's face looked calm, but his heart was tucked away in novelty.
"You're actually not the same as Princess Aurellia?" kayshila asked while looking at Dhafin.
"I can't love him" Dhafin said, sighing like he was heavy.
"Can't love her?!" Kayshila felt strange and astonished by Dhafin's remark. "Why?"
"When I was a child, I had a feeling that when he grew up he would become a ruler" Dhafin said. "If my hunch is really happening, then the partner should be a big person as well...."
"Are you not a big man now?" kayshila said as if reminded. "You are the Grand Prince, Kanda. You should be aware of that."
"I don't want to be a Grand Prince," Dhafin said as if denying destiny.
"But reality is like that, Kanda. The lord of Heaven has already predestined you as the Great Prince."
"It happens that the secret of my identity is revealed."
"That means you don't want to open up who you really are at the meeting tomorrow?" kayshila asked, guessing what Dhafin meant.
★☆★☆
When the completion of the healing event against Princess Faniza, Dhafin actually wanted to talk about how to save King Darian who is still imprisoned in the dungeon with his 4 beliefs.
But since it was almost afternoon, Her Majesty the Queen decided to have it discussed tomorrow morning. Concubine Heliana will ask who Dhafin really is at the meeting.
Even if you want to know the truth, Her Majesty the Queen is no longer able to withstand the turmoil of her feelings that have begun to drift. He needs to neutralize the turmoil of his feelings towards Dhafin that he can barely stand.
"For the present times I do not want it to happen first" Dhafin said in a sigh.
"Then how long have you kept it a secret about yourself, Kanda?" Kayshila looked haru at her brother who was trying to fight against his destiny.
Dhafin was silent and did not answer. He just kept staring at the dimly decorated sky of the half moon.
"Heliana's grandmother and the rest of the family have been looking for you for a long time" said Kayshila, who now also turned to the night sky.
"He was trying hard to recruit a large army" he continued, "in order to reclaim the Kingdom of Bentala and return it to the rightful heir, the Grand Prince, that is you."
"There is still Prince Revan" said Dhafin as if reminded and evasive.
"Kanda Revan is only the Second Prince, not the Grand Prince" Kayshila argued. "He has no right to the Kingdom of Bentala."
"But he can ascend the throne if there is no Grand Prince," tangkis Dhafin.
"Does that mean you will help Kanda Revan fight in retaking Bentala Kingdom?" ask Kayshila to guess.
"Yes" said Dhafin, "because it has become my plan."
"Later I will have a special meeting with my old friends to discuss the plan of struggle" he continued, "including Princess Aurellia and her 4 companions."
When mentioning the name Princess Aurellia, there was a kind of excitement in Dhafin's heart. But only a little of his facial expression and tone of voice.
But the rare thing was already seen by Kayshila because it was staring at her brother's face again. Although only a little obvious, but enough for Kayshila to know the feelings of Dhafin towards Princess Aurellia or the Great Queen.
Hearing Dhafin again mention about Her Majesty the Queen, Kayshila was interested in wanting to discuss it again.
But Kayshila wanted to test first whether Dhafin really did not know or just pretended not to know with the intention of wanting to avoid.
Because Kayshila knows who a Dhafin is. For 8 years of living with her, she had enough of the characteristics of her very special brother.
"Do you still know Princess Aurellia when she grew up like she is today?" ask Kayshila carefully.
"I've known him since childhood that he is a person who is good at changing appearance" said Dhafin revealed. "If when I was an adult this looks different when he was a kid, obviously I don't know him anymore."
"Unless he doesn't wear a veil and I touch his skin," he continued, "maybe I'll just get to know him."
"Brian said he's in this palace, is that right?" he asked, looking at Kayshila.
"Yes, he is here" Kayshila said half-frankly. "Do you want to meet him?"
Kayshila looked smiling. Obviously his smile was teasing Dhafin.
"Yes, I want to meet him" Dhafin said bluntly. "There's a lot I want to talk to him about. Including inquiring about the Sky Cakra Arrow."
"Eh, does Empress Chalinda and her entourage know that Princess Aurellia is here?" tanya Dhafin suddenly remembered the entourage of Empress Chalinda.
"For now Princess Aurellia is keeping her secret to anyone" Kayshila said.
After that Kayshila asked what is the Celestial Chakra Arrow?
So Dhafin explained about the magic energy weapon and explained the things related to it.
Meanwhile, the night continued to spread slowly. While the two brothers continued to talk in the middle of the park.
★☆★☆
On that same night in a different place, far enough away in the Centauri Palace complex was the Poet Swordsman, Gibson Kyler was standing upright while looking up at the half moon in the dim sky.
While staring at the moon he chanted his verses. The verses are full of the meaning of his expression of his feelings towards his fate.
It was his habit if it was this way. Often reminiscing about his poor fate, then expressed through his poems are so heartbreaking.
"I was born from my mother's womb
But I was taken care of by pain and grief
I am still red with tears
Forced to befriend nestapa
Just thrown away like trash
Because they think I'm a bad boy
I also have the right to be loved
But I also have a heart and a sense that must be maintained
But why do suffering love me?
But why does suffering keep my feelings?
I hope for your mother's affection
But the cradle of suffering and nestapa became real
Until I was raised by the cruelty of the world
Where the sky is the roof of my house
While the earth is my bed
And you, O night, can only be silent
Without being able to tell her that I'm guilty...."
Gibson continued to spew his suffering into a silent night through the help of his verses...
Meanwhile, Grania was standing under a tree around a dozen spears behind Gibson.
The short shaggy-haired beautiful girl was still faithfully staring at Gibson while listening to her heartbreaking wail that she poured in her verse.
He didn't know much about Gibson's life in his childhood. He only knew that Gibson was a vagrant child in the city of Amerta Kingdom.
But from the chants of Gibson's poem that he had heard for the first time, he could already know how the handsome young man's life in his dark childhood. Because Grania knew the meaning of the young man's verses.
Because he knew the meaning of Gibson's verses, so he became moved as if he had felt the suffering Gibson had suffered since birth in the world.
Either consciously or unconsciously Grania's pair of legs moved towards the direction where Gibson was still standing. While Gibson still lamented his fate in his verses.
But Gibson stopped chanting. His sharp ears heard a subtle sound from behind him.
So before turning around he channeled his holy energy into his right palm. Simultaneously he turned his right palm which was already white in hot air was swaying ready to be jerked....
"Hold it!"
Grania hurriedly intercepted Gibson's actions that were about to send a long-range punch.
Hearing people prevent his intentions instantly Gibson stopped the swing of his palm. But the hand was still floating in the air and was still white. His sharp eyes stared in full glance at the figure of Grania disguised by the shadow of a tree.
"Who?" tanyanya half snapped.
"Me, Grania."
