Two Princes One Love
Secret

Arriving at the palace convection building...

I came with some royal guards. Since leaving I was alone in the train, while doing whatever things are needed for the fashion show later.

My job this time is to be in charge with all the sessions of the event before the fashion auction is done. Both the king and his two sons have entrusted this to me. So, there is no word to retreat or surrender. I have to give my best.

"Welcome, Miss Ara. Happy greetings."

The old man welcomed me. He bowed respectfully as he greeted. I saw that his hair was almost all gray.

"Good hello, Uncle Rich" I said with a smile.

"It looks like there's something important that Miss wants to talk about until she has to come straight here."

"Em, yeah. Right, Uncle. My arrival here wants to hand over the rest of my package plans."

I then gave her a green map containing five fashion designs.

"Aren't there two left, Miss?" tanyakanya.

"Em, yeah. The other three are I'll pay for it."

"Hm, it deserves a little different. If you may know, the three of these—"

"Two to pay off my promise to the guards and one to Asri."

"Oh, alright, miss. I'll finish it as soon as possible."

Uncle Rich received my draft sheet. I was a little surprised when he asked who the other three were for.

"Em, Uncle. There's something I want to ask," I said starting the topic.

Uncle Rich looked around. "It seems important, Miss. Maybe it's better if we just talk on the terrace of the building. It's a little noisy here" he said.

This convection building consists of many workers and basic clothing that is spread widely. They seem busy with their jobs. The sound of the sewing machine is always heard non-stop.

"All right." I also agree.

Uncle Rich then asked me to get out of the convection building. We walked to the terrace of the building not far from the entrance. There I could see organic plants that seemed to have been deliberately grown here.

"Please sit down, Miss."

"Thank you."

I then sat down with Uncle Rich with a round table that separated. I was a little confused where this conversation started.

"Miss, does this seem to be related to the tree of heaven?" Uncle Rich guessed.

Just so I was surprised. Maybe my guess was right about him all along. Uncle Rich knew the intricacies of the tree of heaven and its connection to me.

"Uncle, Rain told me that it was Uncle who told him about the dimensional portal. Is that true?" tanyaku.

Uncle Rich was silent for a moment. He then coughed. Either because I'm talking wrongly or because she's been carried away by age.

"Miss, actually I was forced to say that to him."

"I mean Uncle?"

"Prince Rain forced me to say it. Though the message of the late king is only for his grandson who will be the king of this land."

Whahuh? I'm trying to figure out what Uncle Rich said.

"Had been his late majesty before his departure, he had been here a lot. Maybe two or three years before his death. He told me a lot."

"About the tree of heaven?" many enthusiast.

"One of them is. But more about the dream."

"Dreams?"

"Yes, Miss. The late king dreamed that there would be chaos in the palace. And he saw a girl come to save this country."

"Because it continues to be haunted by the dream, the late king then finds out about his dream. He came and meditated on the hill of the tree of heaven until he got an answer."

Oh, my God, that meant I was ...?

"Let the king look for clues about his dream in a black book containing the genealogy of the king of this kingdom. And he was surprised not to play when he found out that his dream was exactly with the first king."

"Thus ... Uncle already knew if I was ...,"

"Yes, Miss. It was such a fortune for me to meet Miss. The girl who has been foretold since the king of the Cosmos took the throne."

I was stunned to hear that. Trying to think rationally. Many big question marks enveloped my mind at this moment.

"Can I read the black book straight away, Uncle?" ask me who is very curious.

"Miss can look for her in the palace library. But I don't know where the book is. Plain black book with many sheets. And there's a symbol of the Milky Way in front of him."

I'm nodding. Now I will find out for myself what the word means if I am a destination that can go back and forth through the portal.

"Thank you, Uncle. I hope only Uncle knows who I am."

"Miss can trust me. But, may I ask Miss something?" the question is starting to worry me.

"Please, Uncle. If I can, I'll give it to you" I said to Uncle Rich.

"Miss, we residents of this convection building have never tasted the fruit of heaven. Can you get it for us?"

God, what do I think. "Good, Uncle. After this I will go to the hill of the tree of heaven and take the fruit."

Uncle Rich looked so happy. "Thank you, Miss. We didn't ask him to rush. But if Miss wants to give it as soon as possible, we're very happy."

I saw Uncle Rich's smile expand. It seems like this was his wish long ago. The look of happiness on his old face.

"All right, then. Excuse me, Uncle." I then say goodbye to him.

"Miss."

Before I left, Uncle Rich called me back.

"Yes, Uncle?"

"Miss, I entrust the two princes to Miss. Only the Lady can calm the two. If my age does not see Miss as queen of this country, then know that I am very happy to welcome Miss."

Uncle ....

I don't know why my heart was suddenly saddened to hear his words. I felt like I was burdening his life with the many plans I gave him.

"Uncle, take care of your health. If you're tired, Uncle could delay my clothes." I smiled at him.

"Thank you, Miss."

I hurried away from the convection building. The horse-drawn carriage and a few horse-riding guards were waiting for my arrival. I wanted to cry at the words of Uncle Rich. My heart is touched by his devotion to this country.

Yes, Lord .. please extend his age. If I am indeed destined to be the queen of this kingdom, I would like Uncle Rich to attend his celebration. Please ....

From the train, I saw Uncle Rich still watching me leave. I don't know why I feel like I have a grandfather now. May the Lord give him health and long life.

An hour later...

Now I have come to the hill of the tree of heaven. I see this tree is not inedible by season. The more days, the more bushy the fruit and leaves. I then approached the tin tree and sat leaning against its sturdy trunk.

"Let me lean back for a moment, yeah. My heart is sad at this moment."

A few horsemen were waiting for me outside. I was leaning in the leaves of this tree. The horse-drawn carriage itself was waiting for me at the foot of the hill. The hill is not too high in my opinion. But if you have to walk, it is quite tiring as well.

"alright. After taking Uncle Rich's order, I will immediately finish the business for the fashion show later. Afterwards I will go to the palace library looking for the book. Hope there are no obstacles."

I don't know why my spirit flared up after sitting leaning on this tree. It was as if the tree was giving her energy to me. Yeah, whatever it is I can't just give up. My story is still long to observe.

The spirit!!!
