On the back porch...
I sat on the long sofa with Rain. A cup of warm tea and moon cake.
"Ara, there seems to be another motive behind this." Rain.
"You mean?" many confused.
"Dad doesn't know the state of your empty room. He was also surprised to hear this."
"What?!"
"After asking one of the soldiers to check, it's true that your room has been emptied. However, it is not known who told him." Rain seemed to think.
"Rain, don't-don't—"
"I've been trying to meet the princess. But he refused my arrival. It's getting weird." Rain was suspicious of Andelin.
"Has his father gone home?" ask again.
"King Hell is back. Andelin does not want to return to his country. He paid a fortune to stay in the palace until the show was over."
"Well?!"
I don't know why my feeling is getting so bad. It looks like something will happen soon. My mind suddenly focused on Andelin's words this afternoon. He said he would soon marry the future king of this country. Who else, if not Cloud.
This means that the main goal is the cloud. Is what I saw in my dream true?
I shake my head repeatedly. Don't want these bad thoughts to take over my consciousness. Rain seemed to notice.
"Ara, are you okay?" tanyanya held my shoulder.
"Rain, I feel like Andelin's up to something."
"Something?"
"The main target is the Cloud."
"Well?!"
"Last afternoon she told me that she was going to marry the future king of this country. That means ...,"
"God! Brother Cloud!" Rain looked at me. "He can't influence me. So he's affecting Brother Cloud?"
I'm nodding. "It's just my speculation. Whether or not, I can't be sure. But we still have to be careful." I explained.
"You're right, Ara. I also told my father what happened back then. I'm getting suspicious of Andelin. But, father has not been able to expel him from the palace. He asked for time until the fashion show was over."
"Then what should we do?" I started to worry about Cloud.
"I'm going to go see Brother Cloud. You wait here. If I could, I'd bring him here. We'll finish it as soon as we can." Rain stood up.
"Rain, has my phone been found?" ask again.
Rain looked into his pocket. He took something out of his pocket.
"This is your phone?"
I saw Rain showing me my phone. And I immediately took it.
"Huh, yeah. My cellphone. But where's my black bag?" ask again.
"You put a cell phone in a bag?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"But I didn't find your bag, Ara. Just this."
Hearing Rain's words felt a little strange. His phone met but my bag went missing. However, I am quite grateful that my phone has returned.
"It's okay, Rain. Thank you for helping." I smiled at him.
"Yes, Ara. I met Brother Cloud first. I'll be right back." Rain is gone.
I tried to sit down and check my phone. I looked at the folders one by one and found them all intact.
It's a little weird. Who exactly is behind this incident? Is that princess?
I keep thinking about the weirdness that happened. Suddenly, I wanted to meditate. Perhaps by merging with nature, an answer will soon be found.
Then I sat on the terrace floor facing the small garden of Rain's residence. I could see the dark starry sky without a barrier. I slowly took my breath and slowly exhaled it. I tried activating the Law of Attraction. I focused on the sounds around me.
My breathing is stable, my hearing is sharp too. At this moment I saw a blurry image that flashed through my mind. It was like seeing the princess come to Cloud, she was talking about something. I don't know what's being said, I can't hear it.
A few seconds later, it was like seeing the princess with her father talking about something else. And again, I don't know what that conversation is about. But, they seem serious.
I try to get closer, I focus my mind on knowing it. But, just the roar I heard, nothing but that.
I took a breath and then I poured it out slowly. I'm still trying to blend in with nature.
Tha-that?!
A moment later, I suddenly saw the princess stuffing the powder into Cloud's drink. I realized immediately too.
"Cloud!!" I screamed to call him.
My breath was panting in an instant, my chest was heaving irregularly. Suddenly I realized after seeing that.
"Geez, is that true?"
I rubbed my face, holding my head. I was surprised to see the picture.
"I have to see Cloud."
Immediately I stood up from my meditation. I walked quickly, out of the Rain residence. I ran to see Cloud. I'm worried that if it happens, I'm afraid something will happen to her.
I gotta hurry. Don't be late.
I keep running. No more caring about my open dress. I headed to Cloud's room, climbed the stairs and walked down the corridor on the second floor. At last, I arrived at the door of his room.
"cloud!"
I opened the door to his study and found Cloud with the princess. Cloud was surprised by my arrival without knocking on the door first. I approached him immediately too.
"Did you?!"
The two of them were talking to a separate desk. I saw the princess holding something.
"What's that?!"
Immediately I approached him and held the hand of the princess who was like grasping something. The commotion finally happened.
"Ara, what are you doing?!" Cloud asked me with high intonation.
I don't care about the question. I was just focusing on something that this princess was holding.
"Hey, let go of my hand!" The princess refused to open her hands.
Along with that, Rain came and saw what happened. Rain asked me to release the princess.
"Ara, calm yourself."
"Rain, you need to know who he is. He's holding something."
"Ara, relax."
Rain hugged me. It certainly made Cloud's face reddish, but he seemed silent.
"Get out of my room, Ara!" Cloud was angry with me.
"Cloud, this princess wants to harm you!" myrag.
"Take Ara out, Rain!"
Cloud gave me no reproach at all for telling me. He asked Rain to take me out of his room.
There is no other way.
Since there was no other way to prove the truth, I immediately elbowed Rain's stomach and broke away from her. I quickly held the princess's left hand and then I turned it back. His body was locked by me, so that something he was grasping fell...
"This?" Rain then took out something in the shape of that small tube.
"Rain, quickly check what it is! And the bodyguards locked this princess!" myrag.
"You can't do that to me, Miss! You're a nobody!" Andelin tried to break away from my lockdown.
"Guards, put this princess into the seclusion room. Hurry along!"
Rain quickly responded to the thing I asked for. He exited the room and asked the two guards who were guarding to bring this princess. While Cloud, he looked silent and fixated. I felt so strange because Cloud seemed to be unable to do anything about it.
Cloud, it's for you. Whatever the consequences, I will accept. Even what I did for trying to help you.
