Kimi turned to me, "I've been telling Trudy to wake you up and meet Sis Sala and Sis Ruth, your parents. But he said you couldn't be bothered in your room because he heard a young man's voice. That is him!” this girl emphasized the last sentence while pointing at Will. Yet his expression remained the same, cold and flat.
Will rolled his eyes, then stepped toward me quickly. "I'm going to go see Royce first," he whispered against the back of my neck. His breath made the fine hairs around him stand up with goosebumps.
I nodded slowly looking into Will's eyes, he smiled then walked out the bedroom door and disappeared from my sight.
Now it's just me and Kimi in this room, "he's a wizard and he's afraid of me," said the girl who was now sitting on the bed.
Meanwhile, I chose to sit on a chair near the window of a large room. "Because you're a knight and have that magic-blocking sword?"
Kimi glanced at me, she nod
The night has come.The knights and some of the great healers had come to Father's house.There were seven of them, four knights plus three healers.They all rode horses each to come to the house.Therefore, the front yard of the house is full of their horses.My brother, Royce, immediately greeted them when they arrived at the front gate of the house.Including Kimi, because she is also a descendant of knights, she is easily and warmly accepted and familiar with these people.Meanwhile, I stayed in the front room and just sat watching.Even though the people at home were busy preparing this and that, I wasn't allowed to help at all, nor was I allowed to just help lift a chair.&
Instantly the crying became more intense and broke the silence that had occurred for a moment.I hugged the middle-aged woman in front of me so tightly and longingly."Mom... I'm sorry ma'am..." I continued to babble apologizing to her.At that moment his embrace tightened and then he said to me, "You're not wrong, son.Mother's fault for not paying attention and understanding your feelings.I promise," the woman held her sentence and then slightly distanced me from her."From today onwards, there will be no more tradition of getting married at 20. Forever, you and Reyna can freely marry the person you love and at any age."A smile full of love tugged on his lips.But when he mentioned my sister's name, he looked down sadly.“Mother, thank you for not forcing me to always follow your will.But I also don't want to see Mother sad because of Reyna.I'm sure he'll be fine and will come ba
The sun was already in the middle of the earth, the heat was very intense and made my body drenched in sweat because of an hour sitting in a chair in the backyard of the house that was not hindered by anything.I'm still waiting to hear from Will.Because since an hour ago, after Dad and my brother came back, they didn't say anything about Will and always ignored my questions about the boy.My hunch was that there was something odd about them.They said, Father and Royce went to the center of the Willis district to meet Elder Nobi.And all they talked about was the fate of Mother's house in Willis being torn down.And the victims involved.Then they didn't talk anymore.Because after that, we all talked about our longing and feelings of resignation and letting Reyna leave this family.Then, we all threw jokes and jokes at each other accompanied by smiles and cheerful laughter from all of us.
“Will…” I sighed at the name of the young man who was looking at me lovingly.He just smiled and hugged me tightly.Just a few seconds ago the young man removed his lips from me with our gasping breaths.But I wanted to go on and keep asking him with sighs and seductive expressions, hoping that he would continue with a hotter kiss.Even so, Will still restrained me from suppressing the burning desire in my chest by embracing me in his stout body."It's not that I don't want to, Rumi.But I want to keep it until our wedding, you remember that right?”he whispered softly, he coaxed me to hold back this deepest desire that had come from nowhere.I didn't reply to him.I just made my hug tighter to him with a flat face.He heard Will sigh.And I'm just silent.The cause of my desire was because I remembered Peter's painful k
After I'm done with the dress and make up pretty, I think.I walked out through the bedroom door gracefully towards the room Will mentioned.When my steps started to get closer to the room, in my chest, my heart was beating fast.My mind is now full of images of me and Will being together later after we got married.It will definitely be full of happiness, as well as harmony.We will be the best couple in the whole world!I'm so excited to think about this.But when I reached the barrier between the vestibule and the living room, my steps stopped for a moment.My eyes widened in fear when I saw someone sitting next to Mr. Emen, he was a young man I didn't want to meet after that incident.But it was too late, Trudy had seen me."Miss Rumi," he greeted from among the gathered people.Then make those who were there turn to me at the same time and smile happily at my arrival.Inc
During this long journey, Mother explained my question this afternoon.Since the sun had already set and it was supposed to be, the proposal took place this afternoon at three o'clock.Huh!Because of my uncertain feelings, finally my engagement event was postponed until later everything was ready.My mind just kept grumbling annoyed because of my own actions."Since yesterday Mom and Dad have been chatting with the young man who loves you.He really will make you the happiest woman in his life.That's what he told us.He kept convincing Mom and Dad to accept his proposal for you.And finally, your father accepted the young man.And you know, Rumi, it was him and your brother Royce who planned all of this.”Mother's explanation was so detailed that there were no more questions in my head about this.My family and I finally decided to accept Will as a member of the Harfi family.&
"What do you mean Peter?"suddenly I stood up and asked in an angry tone.Peter smiled lopsidedly as he walked slowly toward me."I bought you this dress, beautiful isn't
The look on Will's face scared me, he had turned into someone I never imagined."Why do you want to kill your friend?"suddenly I asked even though I knew the reason he would do such a bad thing was because of Peter himself.But how could William know this, when I haven't told him at all.Was it Trudy, who told Will?Now my guess has been proven right.Will had learned of his friend's bad behavior towards me.But not from that personal maid."Because I already know everything.I've been listening to your chatter since earlier.And I'm really disappointed in you, Rumi."Will furrowed his brow, he looked at me sadly.I squinted, the confusion I felt was so great it was clear in Will's eyes without having to ask me what he meant."I'm disappointed that you didn't tell the t
(Author's POV)When everyone had left the round table room, Will and Rumi were still silent with their arms around each other."Why are we meeting at a time like this?"Rumi suddenly opened his mouth and asked something that had been bothering him lately."I don't know... maybe it's because we have each other's privileges, that's why fate brought us together now," answered the yellow-haired youth gently.“Hm… you're right.After all… if we had met a few years back, but I was still not of the legal age for marriage, I would have insistedon still being married to you.”"Ha ha ha.You are... how can I marry a little girl, "Will replied then while the index finger of his right hand poked Rumi's nose.“Oh… so you don't want to marry me?”Rumi's eyes looked sharply at her future husband, s
My eyes widened knowing that my guess was correct. Then at that moment I saw the state of Kayra, who was across the table on the right. He didn't show any reaction. The girl was just silent, looking down, she didn't open her mouth at all. I became worried seeing her condition like a person who has no hope of living anymore.Then I quickly turned my attention back to Royce, “a-….”Just about to speak, Mother already cut off my intention. He interrupted me who wanted to say too."Who is Mira? What have you done that you can't forget when you're with your family?” His voice was so low, but it pierced his chest.For a moment I looked at Mother, then I turned again to my sister.He looked gloomy, the joy I used to see was now experiencing a blackout. There was no passion for spirit anymore from the aura radiated from Royce's body."She's just an ordinary magical
"Why did they come home?"suddenly my mind remembered the order from Kimi to the maids."So that they can adapt to their new appearance, and that starts from where they come from."“Are they okay, when they change form?Isn't there something strange about them?Or… actually they have prepared themselves because at any moment they will be like this?”"Are you stupid, or what?So many questions from your mouth."Kimi's harsh words made me furious, "if you don't want to answer, then there's no need to insult like that!"Suddenly both of Will's hands wrapped around me, "Yes.Patience..." he said softly while rubbing his shoulder.Even so, my eyes didn't change in staring intently at Kimi."I didn't insult you, Rumi.I'm just asking your brain that always wants to know that," Kimi said then with
I still can't understand the reason behind Kayra hating me.“Kay, is that the only excuse you have?Is it true, nothing else?”along the way the thought kept replaying in my mind.I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes.When I opened it, the trip was over and we had arrived at the door of the house.Mother turned to me, "You are the first to open the door, Rumi."I frowned at my mother's words.I don't know why I hesitate to do it.But ignoring those doubts, I ventured to be the first to enter the house after a night of unwelcome events.My head nodded once in response to Mother's words, then my legs slowly moved forward.While the others, they gave me the way and watched me who was still walking.Arriving at the door, my throat unconsciously swallowed his saliva.Then slowly I opened the door of the house by p
"Thank you, I will wait for a reply from him."Kayra looked so happy when I teased her as if to match her with Royce.But I just replied with a smile that implied I agree and disagree with Kay's assumption.“Oh yeah, Kay… I want to ask you something.Eum... while Kimi is quite a distance away from us and... my sister and mother are having a conversation, there's an important matter that I want you to answer honestly,” my voice choked at the last word as I turned to Kay who was tall. not far from me.The straight-haired girl returned my gaze, “what is that?Just so you know, I always tell the truth in my life.”"Oh?!Is that true ...?"I was surprised to hear his sudden confession, in my heart I thought as I turned my face slowly to another direction, "Could it be that his words that lead to hatred for me... are true?""What
"Then tell me now a way so that I can immediately connect with this sword," I retorted in annoyance.But Kimi chimed in with her expression still flat, "I'm tired of saying it, meet the right person instead of asking me."“Yeah I mean, who is that person?I'm also tired of seeing that annoying look of yours, Kimi!”my emotions started to overflow."Rummy!"Suddenly a familiar voice rebuked me and Royce.We all gasped at the sound, then looked at each other in surprise."It's not proper for a princess to say that!apologize to your aunt, Rumi!”The person's voice was heard again, but this time it sounded closer.Then me, Royce, Kay, and Kimi turned together at the source of the voice.How surprised I was when I saw that walking over was the person I missed the most, “Mom&hell
"Foreigners?Do you still like people visiting the village after what happened?”I asked with a furrowed brow."I don't know either, th
“Sir… if you are the one who can do it, then… I beg with all my soul and body, please save the lives of my parents.”I whined politely while lowering my head."You don't have to be like that, Rumi.After all, you are already my own children.Likewise with your father and mother, they are like brothers to me.""Thank you sir ...."“Alright, let's not waste any more time.I will immediately perform the ritual,” said Mr. Emen, then turned towards the house.Just as he was about to move his right foot to start walking, he suddenly stopped and spoke without turning his head, “Oh, yes!Don't come into the house until I'm done and come out to tell.""But Master, what about the servants who are in the house?"I asked worriedly.&nb
"Is it over, the play?"Kimi said sarcastically at me and the handsome young man standing next to me.Will immediately grabbed my hand and we turned to look at the two girls who had been watching before they were amused by our behavior by looking in another corner."Yes," I replied innocently with a big smile.Kimi pursed her lips even more, "that sucks...!"he muttered then as he turned his face to the right with his arms crossed over his chest.Will and I exchanged glances, then we chuckled together.Meanwhile, Kayra, seeing the intimacy between me and this young witch, she seemed happy too.Not like Kimi who was annoyed with what she was witnessing right now.“Hahh ...” Kay sighed, “if I were like them too, it would be fun for my life.You don't have to always struggle with spears and strange powers to chase after thos
