The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 75 EXPRESSIONS OF PRINCE BRIAN'S FEELINGS
Time continues to roll, the sun continues to crawl to the western horizon. The light was no longer fierce like this afternoon, it had turned warm full of peace.
It was the afternoon before dusk....
It seemed that a pair of young men were walking rather quickly towards a deep stone abyss. Behind their backs were already left a stretch of forest around the fiber of spears even further away.
The one stepping to the left was a handsome young man dressed in long black. His long-haired head tied to the back decorated with a hat resembling camping is also black.
He was armed with a slightly curved single-edged sword whose frame and hilt were also black. His sword was tucked in his left belt. That man was none other than Brian Darel.
On Brian's right was a very beautiful girl like a double-dressed angel. Outerwear in the form of a long cloth down the calf and thick enough in sea blue.
The front part is split from the waist until it continues down the alias is not buttoned. His arms are not too wide.
Wrapped belt of golden yellow metal. In the center of the front of the belt is a phoenix carving. On his left chest was also a golden-colored phoenix knit.
Her hair was long, straight waist-length with a beautiful partially bun behind the top of her head. Tarnished a jade sword toy. Tie a ribbon of fine silk in color with her outer clothes.
The girl was armed with a rather wide sword that was now clasped in her right hand.
Please note, the uniform model dressed as it indicates the person is the bodyguards of the Grand Queen; Special Guards and Personal Guards.
Just a little difference, namely the color of outer clothing and star badges attached to both shoulders.
And that beautiful girl was one of the Great Queen's Personal Guards. Marked by the presence of 4-star badges on both shoulders. He is none other than General Ariesha Divya.
He came to this Naraya Village in addition to fighting, also carrying out the duties assigned by Her Majesty the Great Queen. That is reviewing a place in the western part of Naraya Village that has a deep abyss.
The place is suspected to have resemblance to the location where Dhafin had experienced a disaster that almost took his life. It fell into the abyss.
"Ariesa! Where the hell are you going?" brian asked, start to be surprised to see Ariesha running small towards the ravine that is not far ahead of them.
Along the way from Naraya Village earlier they were just ordinary chatting. Discussing about Brian studying at Centaurus Headquarters and how the atmosphere is there.
Likewise with Ariesha, telling how she studied hard at the Centauri Palace so that she could be elected as one of the Great Queen's Personal Guards.
Previously Ariesha also told how he, the Grand Queen and others could be taken to the Centauri Palace. And no less important also about how the story of the Great Queen of Aurellia can be appointed as the Grand Queen at the Centauri Palace.
While Brian was at Centauri Palace his time was quite short. So he did not have time to ask his sister, Grand Queen Aurellia.
That's what they talked about along the way. And something else that's just a casual conversation.
Brian has not spoken a single word about his expression of feelings for Ariesha. Not even a word in that direction exists.
While Ariesha also acted as a fool with Brian's feelings that have been hinted through the eyes.
And just now he was about to say something, Ariesha had already stepped very fast, even running.
★☆★☆
"Come, Brother Brian! Night hunt," Ariesha asked as she continued to run small.
"What do you really want to get to the abyss?" brian asked, continuing to follow Ariesha.
"Let me tell you."
Not long after that a pair of young men had reached near the mouth of the abyss. Ariesha looked at the mouth of the deep abyss. While Brian stared at the afternoon sun that was falling on the western horizon.
""What are you actually looking for here, Ariesha?" brian asked after looking at the western horizon.
He asked so while looking at Ariesha who was still looking at the bottom of the abyss. Nothing can be seen in it but darkness. Plus the blackened fog.
"Have you ever heard my true story that he ever fell into the abyss?" Ariesha asked. A pair of beautiful eyes have now switched to staring at the western horizon with beautiful panorama.
"He's never told me that before" Brian confessed. "I also never asked because I was unthinkable. Did he ever fall into the abyss?"
"Yes, Kanda Dhafin once fell into a ravine" Ariesha said. "But it can be saved by someone who eventually becomes his teacher."
"Did you expect him to fall into this abyss?" guess Brian who now understands why Ariesha brought him here.
"The certainty is only Kanda Dhafin knows," said Ariesha did not dare to be sure. "Only the place he had told me about was similar to this place."
"That means he didn't mention the name of the place to you" Brian said, guessing for sure.
"You don't want to tell me even though I'm sure he remembers. Kanda just mentioned the features of the place."
"There was a 5-year-old boy who fell here, too" Brian said, muttering. "Then I guess something."
"Alleged what?" ask Ariesha directly. "Who has ever fallen into this abyss too?"
"Circa 20 years ago...."
Brian then told about an event that had occurred in Naraya Village to Ariesha. The story is about a young mistress and a small child who had lived for 5 years in Naraya Village.
(To find out more detailed stories, please re-read BAK 71 MEETING WITH 4 KAMPUNG 1 HEADS!)
At the end of the story Brian said that the 5-year-old boy was a missing prince who had been still in search.
After he finished telling the incident, Brian then said pitched guess.
"After matching your story to the events that have happened in this place, I suspect that the 5-year-old boy who once fell into this abyss is Dhafin."
"Then Kanda Dhafin is a descendant of His Majesty King Neshfal," Ariesha guessed in a somewhat quivering voice in shock.
"I cannot confirm whether Dhafin is a prince of the descendants of His Majesty the lost King of Neshfal or not" Brian said carefully.
"Hanya saja Pangeran Revan sudah memastikan kalau bocah 5 tahun yang pernah jatuh ke jurang ini adalah kakaknya yang selama ini mereka cari," lanjutnya.
The fur of Ariesha again bristled to hear Brian's words just now.
If indeed Dhafin is a lost prince who has been sought, then he really did not expect that all this time he was with a prince. Even Dhafin is already part of his family.
★☆★☆
"Sister Brian. I beg of you for this incident enough we used to know yes" Pinta Ariesha pleaded. "You don't say it to Prince Revan."
"The certainty that Dhafin is the missing prince is not yet real, just a guess, Ariesha," Brian said. "I might as well tell Prince Revan about something uncertain."
"What if Kanda Dhafin really is the missing prince, brother?" ariesha asked pitched as if testing. "Are you just going to tell me?"
"Jawab, brother, don't guess."
"Originally you know, Ariesha," said Brian as he gazed at the soft shining afternoon sun, "from the beginning I made friends with your strange sister, I already know that he's hiding a secret about himself and his past."
"Even I suspect the name he's using now is a pseudonym, not his real name" he continued.
Exactly right! Really telling the guess of the all-black young man. He combines analysis with foreboding, so as to produce the right guess.
"But I never asked or teased about his past. You know why, Ariesha?"
"Why, Brother?"
"Because I appreciate his stand."
Really am! Ariesha was completely moved to hear all of Brian's words just now. He did not expect that Brian was so in understanding a Dhafin rather than himself.
"If at any time I knew for certain he was a lost prince, still I would not tell anyone."
"Without exception?" ask Ariesha to know.
"Without exception," Brian said firmly.
"Why don't you want to tell it?" ariesha asked as if to test again.
"I'm sure Dhafin is hiding his identity, must have a big purpose," Brian said strongly.
"I do not want to undermine that goal by interfering in his affairs without his consent" he continued.
Ariesha looked at Brian fixedly. He is increasingly moved by Brian's solidarity with his adoptive brother.
"Thank you, sister," said Ariesha sincerely. "I didn't expect you to understand kanda so deeply. Thanks again, brother."
"Here you go, save your praise," said Brian was caught off guard by Ariesha's praise.
"Actually I want to talk to you," said Brian as he continued to stare at the orange panorama on the western horizon.
Brian's words pitched a bit slowly as if hesitant to say. And just as he was about to express his feelings, his heart was immediately nervous. In fact he did not dare to look at Ariesha right now.
"Aren't we talking?" ariesha said it like a joke. But there was no doubt that he was joking.
"About anything else" Brian said.
His tone was a little raucous and somewhat trembling. But as hard as he could, he tried to master his nervousness.
"About what?" asked Ariesha who looked back at Brian.
Not long ago looking at him he had already sensed that there was an oddity to Brian's handsome facial expression. And he also just realized that Brian's tone of voice is somewhat different.
Brian did not answer Ariesha's question. The young man remained silent as he continued to stare at the twilight. But who knew that he was trying to gather the rubble of his courage to express his feelings.
It turned out that it was easier for him to argue people than to express his feelings to the girl he liked. His tongue was suddenly unable to speak.
★☆★☆
"What do you want to talk about, Brother Brian?" ariesha asked in astonishment as she furrowed her two eyebrows. "Why are you suddenly so silent?"
Oh this girl! Why doesn't he understand the guts? Or is he purposely joking, but able to hide it?
"Are we going home? Don't catch a cold."
"I want to talk to you about our relationship" Brian said suddenly smoothly but sounded funny. Because it was spoken in haste and forced.
"Hihihi, why are you?" ariesha said while laughing giggling. "How are you suddenly so funny?"
"I'm serious, Ariesha," Brian said slightly pressing down on his voice. "Not joking."
"What happened to our relationship?" asked Ariesha after she finished withholding her cuteness. "Aren't we okay all this time? Even though we are far apart now, but I am still your friend. You take it easy, Brother Brian."
"But I want our relationship to be more than just friends" Brian said. But I dare not look at Ariesha.
"You mean?" ariesha said completely surprised. He did not want and did not dare guess Brian's words.
"I've liked you for a long time" Brian grew bolder and his words began to smooth. "Since we were kids. Do you not understand it?"
Slowly Ariesha turned to staring at the twilight. Her feelings are now different when she hears Brian has expressed a love for her. Then he heard her say a little softly.
"Are you serious about what you said?"
Boldly Brian faced Ariesha. Then boldly held both shoulders of the beautiful girl but gently. Slowly twist to face it.
Then look at Ariesha's pretty face fixedly. Then said with great interest.
"Geek me well! Do I look like I'm playing around?"
Ariesha stared fixedly at that handsome face that indeed showed seriousness. Staring into the eyeballs of the dashing man was sharp yet implied a deep tenderness and loving nature.
"I want to be your lover, Ariesha. I'm serious."
"Do I deserve to be your lover?" ariesha was still staring at Brian. "You're a prince, and I'm just an ordinary noble."
"So who do you think deserves to be my lover?"
"There are still many girls more beautiful than me, Brother Brian. Or if you want you can look to Centauri Palace. There are so many girls who are beautiful and better than me."
Both of Brian's palms are now down tightly grasping both of Ariesha's upper arms still gently. Ariesha is silent. His pair of beautiful eyes were still staring at Brian.
"Look! No one deserves to be my lover but you, Ariesha," Brian said wholeheartedly. "You have to believe that."
Once again Ariesha stared fixedly at Brian's face. Still he got seriousness about the young man's words from his facial expression and the look of his eyeballs. But....
Slowly Ariesha turned her gaze glaring in another direction. Keep saying.
"I'm sorry, Brother Brian, I can't answer that right now. Because this is too rushed for me. I'm sorry."
