~You hold me back from always being with you, but at the same time, you also hurt me so cruelly~
Grizzys
"Keira, you've grown up, but why is Levy more perfect than you? Aren't you studying?" Keira lowered her head when she heard Aunt Ellia's repeated words just for her.
Behind Aunt Ellia, there was Levy standing and just looking at her flat, with no words of encouragement or anything.
"Levy, show me how a Lady walks!"
Levy walked from her place with a very graceful and elegant, not forgetting with her head raised looking ahead. After stopping, he bowed respectfully.
Prok ... prok .. prokk.
Aunt Ellia gave Levy a proud ovation, "See? That's the truth, Keira. Raise your head, make yourself unworthy of mercy."
Keira began to walk in Levy's style, raising her head, slowly and slowly Keira walked.
Brugh
He stumbled on his own feet and fell. Aunt Ellia just sighed, then walked over to Keira.
"We've learned the lesson today" said Aunt Ellia, helping Keira.
Inwardly, Aunt Ellia was very disappointed with Keira. A King's Daughter cannot walk properly, willing to put where the pride of the royal members?
"In your spare time, learn with Levy. Ah, you don't have any busy, do you? So, you'll learn a lot."
Keira was shocked to hear the words of Aunt Ellia. Sick, as a result of Aunt Ellia's treatment of him. Keira withstood her cries so that Aunt Ellia would not scorn her anymore, not compare her to Levy again, and, not look at her disappointed again.
Aunt Ellia has left, leaving Levy and Keira both.
"Let me teach you. Ah, sorry, are you busy?" Levy.
Keira stared dislikefully at Levy, "i don't have any activities today" he replied.
"It seems, Aunt Ellia was right."
"What did you say?"
"No, let's learn."
They had studied for almost two hours, and Keira was still the same. Sometimes, he fell down and often lowered his gaze. Levy unlike Aunt Ellia who directly commented on Keira, Levy just stared at Keira without interest.
"What's wrong with you, Keira?" Charming Levy, he was tired of having to repeatedly teach Keira.
Keira smiled cynically, "it should be me who asked like that, Levy. What's wrong with you? Why do you look so arrogant? Is it because Aunt Ellia is so concerned about you? Your call to Dad has also changed" Keira said.
Levy's brows almost almost spliced as her forehead wrinkled, a sense of wonder enveloping her heart.
"Why don't you answer me? Oh, is that true?"
Hearing that, Levy began to stand haughtily, "yes, that's right. Then, why? Are you envious? Heh, make yourself worthy of pride, Keira. Do not just put envy in the heart without effort" said Levy.
Keira clenched her hands, "what do you think I've been doing all this time, huh? I've been trying, Levy. But, you've always been bragging about all your talents, to look great in front of everyone!" Keira.
"People who strive earnestly will not complain, Keira. You're just trying out of envy, not out of earnest. You always play with Kyllin, when I'm studying. All you've been doing is playing, do you think you'll be in this palace forever? No, Keira. You'll get married later." Annoyed Levy.
Keira was silent for quite a while, still with a gaze that pointed directly at Levy. Her hands stretched out to remove the accessories that coiled beautifully around her neck. It was Levy's gift necklace.
"I don't need this ugly necklace" he said, throwing away just the necklace.
Keira just left Levy. Meanwhile, Levy's heart is wounded. It was true, originally Levy just made the necklace without thinking of anything. But, as time went on, the necklace became the beginning of their fraternal bond.
Without a second thought, Levy picked up the necklace. Clean it from floor dust. Smiling wryly remembering the first time he gave the necklace to Keira.
"It hurts, but only in this way, I can go home. If I stay here, I'll get used to hope and start forgetting certainty" Levy said.

"Levyanna, where are you going?"
Levy turned around to find the King and his loyal bodyguards accompanying him.
"Go back to the room" Levy replied.
Levy's eyes accidentally caught a figure far behind the King. It was Keira who was observing their conversation. Levy hastily changed her face.
"Dad, I want to take a boat with you" Levy said with excitement.
"All right" replied King Ishid.
"Sorry, Your Honor. But, you have a meeting with Grand Duke Marzeek." One of the guards.
"Cancel right now" the King then took Levy to the lake, regardless of his guards.
Wind, gusting. A few no-man butterflies, chasing each other, crossed the clear lake. Dried leaves fall from the tree, flying in the breeze. A simple, but beautiful boat now moves its body across the lake.
Instead of feeling happy, Levy even looks dumbstruck in front of the King. His chest still felt a pain, the memory of Keira, making him tormented. He already considers Keira as his biological sister, but he also still wants to meet with, Jinyoung, his sister.
"What's wrong with you, Levyanna?" Ask King Ishid.
"I think you're perfect, whether it's a King or a Father .." said Levy, staring at the King's golden bead.
"Didn't you want to explain something, Levyanna?"
"You won't understand,"
"Dad will try to understand, apapu-"
"Promise." Cut Levy.
"What?"
Silence immediately greeted the two of them, when Levy had said a promise that must be kept by the King. Lonely, there was no conversation whatsoever, just a breath that had fused with the wind.
Dusk came again, but he disappeared so quickly. Carried overcast currents, a collection of black clouds hanging. Today the sky looks very bleak.
In the dark, Keira stared at the ceiling. Still with the same empty feeling of being lived. His face was so bitter, it did not look happy. Her soft lips were flat without speech. His eyes occasionally thin.
I like being myself, they are happy with me like this. But, why am I suddenly so afraid of the void? Did I make a mistake? Inner Keira.
Sometimes he changes his sleeping position, looking for a comfortable position.
"Will I be forgotten again?" Ask Keira to herself.
The sound of the clock was getting louder, dancing filled Keira's ears. The memory of that afternoon made his heart break.
Levy. It's all because of Levy. He took all the love that was supposed to me. In fact, Aunt Ellia had also taken it. Inner Keira.
The hatred in Keira's heart grew more and more in control of her. Evil thoughts filled his head.
I can't lose to Levy. Inner Keira.

The morning sun had already revealed its binaries in the eastern horizon, a light bursting through the gap of the curtain in Keira's room. The girl was still reluctant to get out of her place, still wanting to sleep, it seemed.
Hc .. tok ....
A Maid knocked on the door before entering Keira's room. He walked casually towards the curtain, then, flicked it up.
"Enghh ...." Keira sat herself against the pillow.
"The water for the bath and other utensils is ready, Princess." Maid said it was polite.
"All right, you can go." Reply Keira, then move from her place to the bathroom.
Long enough for Keira to be in the bathroom, she finally came out as well. On his way out, he was immediately greeted by a different Maid again. Maid was the one who would help her put on her dress and dress her face.
"Breakfast is ready. The others are already at the dining table, Princess." Said a butler who had just arrived.
"I understand." Begiti finished getting dressed, Keira headed straight to the dining room.
"Good morning" said Keira, as she reached the dining room.
"Good morning, Keira." Only Levy returned his greeting.
The King and Aunt Ellia were expressionless, just glancing at Keira. And, it was successful in making Keira's heart feel pain.
Keira could not eat well, she only drank milk and ate a little bread. Then he decided to go back to his room.
Keira bit her lower lip, hoping, if all this was just a dream. However, he also did not manage to wake up from this nightmare.
"Keira," said someone from behind.
Drapp .. drapp .
Keira immediately ran over to the owner of the voice, in his embrace the person very tightly.
"Mr Kyllin!" Said Keira.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Quickly release. Here, I bring you fruit." Kyllin put the cloth containing the fruits in Keira's hands.
"Forku?" Ask Keira.
"I told you, right? It's for you, "sadly Kyllin.
Keira eats Kyllin's apple with tears.
"Hey, don't cry. What's wrong with you?" Kyllin wiped Keira's tears.
"Buey ... Levy took everything from me. Father and Aunt Ellia's love is no longer there for me. I'm .. I'm alone here,"
Instantly, Kyllin's facial features became strange. He stretched out his furry hand to stroke Keira's gentle mane.
"You're not alone, Keira. There is still me, Asgaf, and the others" Kyllin said.
"But ... but ...." Keira cried so much that it was hard to speak.
"Calm down, this is all gonna end fast. But, I didn't know it was going to end badly, or happy,"
