A few moments later...
"Goddess ...."
I don't know where it is. I heard a voice calling me Goddess.
Is that the voice of the Great Elder?
I try to get up and see more clearly. My surroundings were only a vast expanse covered in white clouds.
"Where am I? Have I ...?"
"Goddess." The white-robed old grandfather was seen walking over to me.
"Great Chief?"
"It's good to see you again, Goddess" he said with a smile.
"Grandfather, I'm Ara not a Goddess."
"Yes, okay. Goddess Ara." She called me Goddess Ara.
I don't understand why she still calls me Goddess.
"Where exactly am I, cake?" many confused.
"You're in your subconscious, Goddess. Your spirit pierced through the crown chakra so it could be here. In a place that no human reason can afford."
"I mean Grandpa?" I'm getting confused.
"Goddess, I cannot linger to see you. I'll just say something important" he said.
"All right, Cake." I also quietly listened.
"I see you've started honing your skills. Keep improving to benefit others more. But you have to stay humble. Don't let pride grow in your heart." The old man told me.
"Well, Cake," I said.
"There will soon be a testing period. Be careful to accept everyone who comes to the palace" he continued.
"Sorry, Cake. Does this have anything to do with the fashion show's plans?" my friend wants to make sure.
"You'll know for yourself, Goddess."
"What about the two princes? What should I do, cake? I really can't afford to choose one of them." I asked for advice from the old man.
"Goddess, you are the girl destined for this land. All decisions are with you. Follow your heart. Your heart will lead him."
"But, Kek—"
"I can't linger, Goddess. See you at the next opportunity."
The old grandfather slowly disappeared from before me. I am still confused about his words.
"Grandfather! I need your help to weigh this. Grandpa! Grandpa!"
I called him, trying to chase him. However, he disappeared so quickly from my sight.
"Ara, Ara."
Before long I felt my cheeks being patted by someone. My vision of a vast expanse of white clouds slowly disappeared.
"R-rain?"
I tried to open my eyes, and I saw Rain on my right. He sat down and patted my left cheek. His face looks panicked.
"Ara, are you okay?" tanyanya's worried.
"Rain ...."
I'm trying to get up. My head still feels heavy. Rain helped me wake up. I sat on my back against the wall of this hall.
"Rain, I met the great elder," I said softly.
"Ara, drink this first." He then gave me a glass of water.
I immediately drank the water until it ran out. It felt so thirsty, like a long trip.
"Do I need to add?" ask again.
"Em, no, Rain. Where are you from? I just saw you."
My tone is still weak, but I want to know where it is. Rain then massaged my legs covered in this sheer green dress.
"Rain, no. Someone will see it." Prohibited it.
"Not what, Ara. What I'm massaging here is the leg of a girl who's going to be my wife. I don't mind."
"Rain ...." I was touched to hear his words.
"Mom!"
Before long I saw Cloud hurriedly approaching me. He then sat on the left side.
"You all right?" tanyanya.
"Em, I'm fine, Cloud," I replied as I tried to smile.
"Ara is still weak, brother. Let him recover his body first." Rain interrupted.
"I will carry him into the chariot. You don't need to worry," Cloud replied quickly.
"Then let me." Rain wants to carry me.
"No, I'm just."
Cloud took Rain's hand off my body. He wants to carry me.
"I used to find him unconscious. I'll carry him in the carriage." Rain refused, releasing Cloud's hand from my body.
"You are ...!"
"Eh, that'sit. Let me walk alone. You see," I said, trying to break up the two.
"Ara, but—"
"It's okay, Rain. I can." I convinced Rain.
"Nature ...." Cloud looked worried.
I tried to get up and put my foot up. I asked them both to look at me. But...
My body still feels weak, I feel like I'm going to fall back. I stagger.
"Mom!"
Both of them called me. They quickly held me down who was about to fall.
Rain ... Cloud ....
Rain held my right side. He held my arm firmly. Cloud was holding my left arm. I am held by both crown princes.
You ....
I feel very lucky to be in between. Both Cloud and Rain loved me very much.
"Ara, I told you you're still weak." Rain's worried.
"Ara, I'm carrying on to the train, huh?" Cloud interrupted.
I smile at myself in a situation like this. I didn't realize the queen was in front of us.
"Your Majesty?"
I was surprised by his presence. His presence so makes my heart beat erratically. Worries started to come to my mind.
"Mother?" Rain saw his mother.
The queen was silent to see us. He just stared at me with a deadly look. Like I was his enemy.
"Ara, we'll just get to the train." Cloud did not suppress his mother's presence.
The queen left us. With some of his bodyguards, he just left.
Looks like the queen is upset with me.
"Rain, are you still on duty?" ask me to Rain while normalizing body position.
"I still have to keep an eye on this show until it's over, Ara," she replied later.
"alright. Well, then, is it okay if I go home with Cloud?" ask again.
Rain then glanced at Cloud. Cloud immediately looked away from his sister.
"Yes, it's okay." Rain answered half-heartedly.
I smiled at him and started walking towards the waiting carriage. Cloud accompanied me, he walked while holding my right arm so as not to fall again.
As I looked back, I saw Rain trying to smile at me. It seems like he was upset that Cloud was delivering me, not him.
I'm sorry, Rain. You must understand the situation.
I returned his smile, then refocused on walking towards the horse carriage. Cloud led me slowly, he so gently treated me.
Really, I still don't know where this story will take me. But it seems like my wedding is getting closer. The Great Elder also gave me no clues at all. He even advised that I be careful to receive every guest who comes to the palace.
What does that mean, huh? Will something happen at the show?
I wondered to myself in my heart. I try to keep a positive mind. I don't want to get lost in my bad thoughts. Yeah, it'll just drain my energy. I'd better use it for other positives.
"Well, Ara."
Cloud helped me get into the horse-drawn carriage. He then sat on my left side, he took care of me. Cloud took off his robe and put it on me.
"Cloud, thank you," I told him.
Cloud smiled. He put my head on his shoulder.
"Sleep, Ara. When I get to the palace, I'll wake you up" he said, and I followed his request.
The aroma of her distinctive perfume is soft but elegant is able to make me in the delta phase. I also fell asleep without any worries. While I was with him, I felt calm going through anything. He's my prince, Cloud Sky.
