Episode 87's

2 Weeks later

"GET SOME WATER!LADY PLEASE HOLD ON!"

"ARGHYO!!"

"PUSH STRONGER!"

"LADY HANG! THE MARCHIONESS AND SAINT MASTER WILL ARRIVE SOON!"

BRAKK!!

"MARCHIONESSES!SAINT MASTER!"

"SAY DETAILS!"

"Lady Arina's blood pressure is very low.15 minutes have passed but her head has not even been seen!Lady also has trouble pushing because her body is weak..!You must hurry, Your Majesty the Marchioness."

"It's bad..Cika, use your magic to add power to Lady Arina!I'll help you downstairs to ease the pain."

"WHAT?!THAT ZERGAN COULD HAVE A BAD SIDE EFFECT ON ARINA! HIS BODY COULD BE PARALYZED FOREVER IF IT RECEIVED THAT MAGIC!"

"We have no other choice!Both conditions are important!"

"All right!.."

Zergan and Lily rushed to their respective positions.Prince Arhen was beside Arina with great anxiety.Grapping his hands very tightly, strengthening Arina who was currently desperately sacrificing her life for the sake of their child.

"Arina hold!You can do it!.."

"Lady!You heard me!Please keep trying!I'm here to help you!"

Lily began to channel her magic for the sake of Arina's power.This will have a negative impact later, but there is no other way.

1 hour passed.The delivery process was completed normally.Your Majesty the Queen and the Empress immediately entered the room and checked Arina's condition.

Arina leaned against the body of Prince Arhen who was holding her.The Prince kissed Arina's old forehead while crying.

"You did Arina..Our son is born." said the Prince.

"You have tried hard, my daughter." said the Empress crying happily.The Queen also joined in crying happily to see the labor succeed.

Shortly afterwards someone broke down the pavilion door.Unexpectedly that person was Duke Wilen who was now a Baron, as well as Arina's two older brothers.

"Arena!"

"Dad?..Brother Olux and Brother Eri.."

The three of them immediately approached Arina because they were very worried.The Queen and the Empress were relieved to see the Arina family coming after so long, especially Lady Eri who was married came without bringing her husband, who was not married,and Olux who 3 months ago had already returned to the Empire.

"Geez my daughter, look at you..You're so messy." said Baron.

"It's okay dad.for my son.." Arina replied so limply.

"Sister Olux and brother Eri.have not seen each other for a long time .how is brother?.." continued Arina asked.

"We're very well Arina..Forgive us for never being by your side all this time." replied Olux.

"Arina.kakak is really sorry." said Eri.

"No. It's all my own fault.let me bear it.Don't blame yourself.." replied Arina.

Zergan and Lily came to hold a little black-haired baby in her hand.

"Lady, here's your son." Zergan gave the baby to Arina and Prince Arhen.

How small and funny the baby was, the babies were both.

"The funny thing!!" The Queen and the Empress were very anxious to see the baby.Eri was no exception until the nosebleed saw the baby.

"This child.our son?.." Arina shed her tears.He smiled widely to see that the child was born normal and healthy.

"He's very similar to you..He's our son..You've tried hard." said Prince Arhen, smiling.

Arina wept as she hugged her son.Prince Arhen wept, remembering after this he would go with Arina to leave their son.

"Arina..What name is suitable for her?" ask Prince Arhen.

No answer.Arina's crying voice was not heard.Suddenly their child cried loudly.Lily swiftly took the baby and tried to calm him.

"Arin-?!!"

Prince Arhen did not feel a pulse in Arina's neck.The breathing was not felt.Arina's hands fell limp.

"ARINA!!"

Everyone panicked as soon as Arina did not move.Zergan and Lily immediately tried everything they could to recover Arina.All their efforts were done with magic.Lily even to contact Vel and Bel.

In an instant Vel and Bel had arrived there to help.The family of Arina, Queen and Empress were very anxious for Arina, especially Prince Arhen who was constantly calling the name of the woman continuously like a madman.

All the efforts they did were nil.Hinyawa Arina was not saved.

"I'm sorry prince...Lady Arina's life can't be saved." Lily said sadly.

"No.impossible..Arina wake up.don't joke like this.You said we're going together right?..Arina please open your eyes.our child is waiting...Arina, wakeup!.."

All Prince Arhen's hopes were lost.Arina left him first.

"Mothers..Arina just sleeps right?.." asked the prince to the Empress.But, she had been crying with the Queen.Baron and her children also cried without a sound.Lily was crying, regretting could not save the life of Arina.Zergan tried to calm Lily, but she was still alive,he also felt guilty that he could not help Arina.

"Vel.please contact Lucas..Bel, please tell Ian and his sisters to be ready tomorrow morning." whispered Zergan.

"All right.." Vel and Bel went according to Zergan's orders.

"Marchioness..Arina was just kidding, right?..He didn't leave me, did he?." asked Prince Arhen to Lily.

"Prince..Forgive me.." Lily replied while crying profusely.

.

.

The next morning, Arina's funeral ceremony took place full of sadness, especially the sky covered with dark clouds, adding pain to Prince Arhen.Today he will also leave the Raveldra Empire after the funeral is over.

Prince Arhen knelt before Arina's grave while holding their child.The ceremony was only attended by the royal family, the Darvin family, the Wilen family, as well as Lucas, Lily, Ken, and also Zergan.

"Arina.. how's it there?..You just go without leaving a word for me and our son."

"Yesterday, our son opened his eyes..She has the same eyes as me.She is very adorable.I can't bear to leave her.This will be the last time I see her.I've also thought of her name since yesterday night.I want her to be the person her whole life is blessed with..so I gave him the name Asher.How?He'll be a very handsome young man later.."

Prince Arhen cried.How hurt he had to leave his only child after the departure of his wife.But, he had to bear the sins of everything he did.

"Arina.sometimes later we will meet again in the second life.We will love each other.married together and have children like Asher..Until that time comes, wait for me there.I will take away all the sins I committed and go to see you...I love you."

Prince Arhen's cry became more and more intense after he kissed the tombstone belonging to Arina.Asher held by Prince Arhen joined in tears.The Crown Prince approached Prince Arhen, gesturing to immediately complete his funeral.Prince understood, Prince understood,he went back and said goodbye to his family.

"Everything.I deeply apologize for all my mistakes.After this, I will spend all my life to penetrate all the sins that I have been doing.I only have one request..Please take care of my son.I don't deserve to be a father to this child.."

The women - Queen, Empress, Lily, and Yesra - wept at Prince Arhen now.They could not bear to see Prince Arhen forced to leave the Empire to penetrate his sin, and did not see Asher grow up later.

"My son, take care of yourself..I will take good care of Asher." said the Empress while crying bitterly.

"Thank you very much..Mother." the prince held back his tears.

"Grand Duke Everon's..I'm heading Asher.." The Prince gives Asher to Lucas, but Lucas voluntarily accepts Prince Arhen's request for the last time.

"Prince.with all my soul and body, I will give it for the safety of your son" Lucas said.

"I'm also because I'm his uncle." continued Ken.

"Thank you very much Grand Duke and Marquess.."

Prince Arhen looked at Yesra and Yusto who was next to Lucas.He smiled faintly at the sight of his two younger brothers already growing up.

"Yesra, my son is similar to you, maybe someday you can be his godmother" Prince Arhen said with a faint smile.

"Sister Arhen..Take good care of yourself..I promise to take care of Asher like my own son." said Yesra crying profusely.

"Hahaha, I trust you and Yusto." Prince Arhen gently rubbed Yesra's head and Yusto.Yusto just remained silent for holding back his tears.

In turn, Prince Arhen apologized to everyone.When it was his turn to the Emperor, he cried and hugged his son tightly.He continued to say words of blessing to his son.Now it was Ian and Lily's turn.

"Ian and.. Marchioness..Forgive me for doing something in the past..I hope you both forgive me.."

"I've forgiven you prince, but I don't know if Ian." Lily and Prince Arhen stared at Ian for quite a while, Ian's gaze was flat as ever but impressed annoyed with Prince Arhen.

"I've forgiven him, and I hope you're always healthy, Arhen" he said.

"Thank you very much, Ian."

When finished, Zergan gave a prayer and blessing to Prince Arhen.Tak forgot, he secretly gave the detection magic from Lily according to Lily's orders.

"Let me take a picture as a memento."

"Eh?Lily?"

Lily ran quite far ahead, she used wind magic to hold her smartphone in the air.

"You're smart too" said Zergan.

"My brain isn't as smooth as yours." Lily replied calmly.

"Everyone, smile that way!I count ya! 1..2..3!"

.

.

Right then, was the last day that they would see Prince Arhen.After that, Prince Arhen actually left the Empire, and would not return,maybe just visit Arina's tomb or see Asher far away.

"I'll be back for you someday..Asher.."

Prince Arhen's long journey was about to begin.He felt that someone had continued to be by his side ever since exiting the border gate.

"I'm always by your side, Arhen.."

"Eh?" The faint voice of a woman was heard in the ears of Prince Arhen.He was very sure that it was the voice of Arina.Width smile was engraved clearly on the man's face.

'Thank you Arina..'

.

On Lucas' return to the mansion, he returned with Yesra as a substitute for Asher's mother, arguably his nanny. The people in the mansion were delighted with the arrival of Yesra and Asher as they felt they had a great mistress and Young Master.

Previously, the detection magic tool that was with Lily, he gave it to Lucas to monitor Prince Arhen.Lucas received it in case Asher someday looking for the figure of his father.

Meanwhile, Ian and Lily.

"A painful separation yes.."

"You cried quite hard earlier."

"of course! Who wouldn't cry seeing such a farewell?!..Yeah, maybe it's just you."

Ian smiled faintly looking at Lily.He felt now that his condition was very calm for the two of them.

"Lily, don't you want to tell me something?"

"Eh?What's?.."

"Maybe.secret?"

Lily flinched.He began to worry Ian knowing the origin.Is this the right time?

"I'll say it later."

"I'll wait."

Ian brought Lily closer to him.Slowly their faces close together and finally they kissed.

The calm and noiseless atmosphere in the courtyard of the Palace was very supportive of the two couples.After a long time, Ian could kiss again the lips of the woman calmly.

"I love you, Lily."

"Me too, Ian."
