One and Only
51 - Keep the Promise.

Unlike Yura, Arvan is now silent because she feels increasingly uncertain feelings. It was as if something was stirring in his heart.

"I think there's something strange about my feelings. My heart felt even more uneasy and unsettled after this talk. I don't think it's because Yura already knows about my feelings for the Queen, but it's about my own feelings. I don't know why I don't feel anything about the Queen anymore. There was no feeling of pleasure, sadness, or thumping like before because of this feeling of clapping my hands. It was as if my feelings towards the Queen had completely disappeared, even as if they had never existed. Now my feelings only concern Yura and I feel unwilling if Yura thinks I like the Queen because my feelings are only for her. Yes, this time I am sure that what I like is Yura, and not the Queen. "inner Arvan.

Arvan turned his head and looked at Yura who was beside him. Instantly, Arvan felt strange about what his heart was feeling. His heart was pounding unruffled and his blood was pounding violently. His feelings this time were different because what he felt was now firmer, faster, bigger, more devastating than ever before when the man liked the Queen.

Until with all his feelings it makes Arvan very sure that he really likes Yura even more than his pleasure when liking the Queen.

"I didn't expect that my long-time sense of tribe I had and I harbored against the Queen after all this time could be taken for granted by my feelings for Yura in just a few moments that didn't even last a month. I firmly believe that my feelings for Yura this time outweigh those for the Queen. I like you a lot, Yura. After feeling very confident about my feelings, did I just say that I like Yura now?" inner Arvan

"But, would it not be strange if I told Yura my feelings after I confessed about my feelings towards the Queen in front of Yura? Yura will probably think I'm wishy-washy and greedy. Although I admit it was originally like that, I didn't want Yura to think I liked her just because her face was similar to the Queen's. Now I'll just think of the Queen as my childhood savior and nothing more. While my feelings for Yura are very sincere. Maybe I'll put my feelings on hold soon" Arvan continued speaking inwardly.

In contrast to Arvan who was hesitant to tell her true feelings, Yura seemed very sure of wanting to say something.

"Arvan, do you remember I promised you I'd tell you a story and you said you'd collect my promise back then?" yura asked who was immediately responded with a nod of the head by Arvan in response.

"Do you want to hear me tell you a story according to that promise right now?" ask Yura again.

"If I say, you tell me later .. will you keep your promise to tell me another time?" ask back Arvan

"For sure I will keep my promise, but it also depends on the situation and conditions .. if maybe I can keep that promise at a later time or not or even can not at all. No one knows what will happen in the future" Yura replied

"No, I mean .. Then tell me now. I want to hear you tell me a story" said Arvan

"What do you want to tell me about, Yura?" ask Arvan

"This time I don't want to tell the story of when I wandered first, but I'll only tell the story of when I was a kid. Do you still want to hear it?" ask back Yura

"Yes, as long as you tell the story and it's about you, I still want to hear the story ." replied Arvan.

"Well, I'm going to keep telling you even though you might not like it. Because I just want to keep my promise. This is the story of the past when I first entered the Royal Palace when I was a child. It was a celebration party event after the Chuya Kingdom managed to win the war. My father, a noble Earl who was the leader of the knight army at that time managed to bring a great victory until we and our family were invited to enter the Royal Palace and participate in the celebration party." Yura started telling her story in the past.

"On that day I came with Yuna's sister, Yasha's sister, and my mother. Since my father was still in the Imperial Palace after his return from the battlefield, we would have met if I were with my mother and my two brothers to enter the party hall. Since the provisions required that the invited guests enter the party hall as called, my mother entered first until the Earl's mistress separated from us, the sons and daughters of the Earl's family. At that time I was nervous because I was a child not used to the atmosphere of the crowd," continued Yura who still continues the story.

"I remember .. the day of the celebration party was when I first met Yuna who saved me from chasing the guard dog first. Apparently, Yura was also there at that time, yet I didn't see her. I thought Yura didn't attend the event because at that time all I saw was Yuna. That day was the day I first liked a girl, Yuna, who saved me. However, right then and there my feelings had to be dashed because I saw that there was a mutual love between Yuna and Evan when I saw that the two were together," Arvan's mind recalled the past.

"That day was the first day I fell in love and was heartbroken at the same time. If only that time the one who met and saved me was Yura, everything would be different. Then, the girl I liked from the past was only one and that was you, Yura. However, the reality is very different," continued Arvan who continues to talk in the heart.

Arvan was still listening while Yura was telling the story. However, the man did not expect that Yura would tell the story of that past moment. That is, when Arvan first fell in love and heartbroken on the same day. Arvan is very sad about his sad story. However, Arvan still wanted to hear the story of Yura back then as a whole.

"I, who still could not overcome my nervousness, asked my two brothers for permission, brother Yasha and Brother Yuna to go around for a while so that my nervousness can subside a little and can feel a little calmer. After being given permission, I went around alone and my two brothers were still waiting for the call to enter the party hall," Yura said.

"I still remember it very much, at that time I met some waiters who were about to deliver dishes to the party hall and I was allowed to take the dishes that were being brought that I finally received two dishes made of meat that was formed into a box. However, unfortunately I could not eat the two dishes I received from the waiter at that time .

Arvan seemed a little aghast upon hearing the continuation of the story being told by Yura. However, not wanting to guess alone, Arvan still wanted to hear the story completely until the end of Yura's own mouth.
