Two Princes One Love
Worried

I walked with Cloud to his room. We discussed something more important.

"Cloud, can't treatment be free for residents?" ask me as I enter his room.

"For a while I can't, Ara. Our trade balance is in deficit because of the mass recruitment of soldiers" he replied, sitting in his chair.

"What if I make ten more fashion plans to finance the free treatment of the residents?" ask me and sit down at his desk.

Cloud took a breath. He rubbed his own head. "You sure? You're gonna be exhausted, Ara." He seemed worried about my condition.

"I'm sure I can, Cloud. I'm asking you for permission. If ten of these fashion designs are sold, the money will be for the residents' free medical treatment."

Cloud smiled, he then held my right hand. "Thank you, Ara. You've helped me a lot."

I returned his smile too. "We settle this matter together" I said, then took her hand with my left hand.

"Ara .. I'm really lucky to have you here." Cloud smiled happily.

"Ehem!"

Suddenly someone walked into the Cloud room without knocking on the door first. His arrival surprised me. I immediately took off the grip on Cloud's hand.

"It seems like my arrival is disturbing" he said.

I turned to him, and it turned out that he was Cloud's cousin.

"Star, what's wrong?" asked Cloud who immediately got up from her seat.

"Grandmother asked me to take you to lunch together and also ... Miss Ara," she said.

"What an honor to me, Prince Star." I stood up to welcome him.

"Hey, stop. We're gonna be a family, Miss Ara. Just call me Star." The man seemed to object to my formality.

"Okay, Prince Star." I'm nodding.

"Ara, let's have lunch together." Cloud then took me.

We ended up walking along with Cloud's position in the middle, towards the palace's dining room. She seemed not to allow me to be close to another man, even though it was her own cousin.

Along the way to the palace dining hall, there was a feeling of anxiety that struck my heart. For the second time, I will meet the queen. And I don't know why, just imagining it makes me erratic.

Meanwhile...

A garuda perched on the burly hand of a brave prince, Rain Sky. Garuda was delivering a letter to him.

"This is my reply."

Rain then read the letter. He seemed to understand and obey the commands in the letter.

"Soldier, please call all the squad leaders to face me. Soon!" the message to one of the soldiers.

"Okay, Prince!"

The soldier then headed towards the post of each squad leader. He conveyed the prince's message. Before long, all the leaders of the squad gathered, sitting in a circle on the grass of the hill with Rain.

"All right, we'll have a meeting soon." Rain began his conversation.

"We'll be back at the palace soon. I'm asking you to split up your duties for this border region."

Rain coordinated and divided the task to each leader of his squad of soldiers. He gave directions because the king asked Rain to return to the palace. The Aksara party is known to do nothing to trigger a war.

"You understand?!" rain asked all the squad leaders, after the division of tasks was done. Rain seemed to be very serious about dividing the task to all the leaders of his squad of soldiers.

"Ready, Prince!"

"good. Back to their duties."

After an impromptu meeting, Rain disbanded all the leaders of his squad of soldiers. He does his job well.

"Ready, Prince!"

The entire army leader obeyed the direction Rain had given. They went to their respective positions and informed the other soldiers. Rain rushed to help his soldiers to pack up immediately. He seemed light-handed helping his soldiers. So that all soldiers follow his example, shoulder to shoulder carry out this royal task with all their heart.

I can finally go back to the palace.

Rain smiled happily. In his mind, he wanted to meet the girl immediately. He also wanted to keep the promise to marry Ara after this was done. However, Rain did not know what happened at the palace after his disappearance.

In the palace dining room...

"So when are you gonna give me a great-grandchild, Moon?" ask Grandma Sun to the queen.

The queen seemed silent, she did not reply at all.

"You lost to your own nephew. Star alone has given me a great-grandchild. What else do you want to wait for?" ask grandma Sun.

I saw that the king was silent while continuing to eat. While the queen, seemed less appetizing when asked by Grandma Sun.

The atmosphere is so tense.

The queen was being questioned, but I don't know why I was the stubborn one. I saw Cloud smiling as he continued to look at me, he looked so happy.

"Put marry Cloud! Don't wait until you're gray!" sun's troubled grandmother ketus made the queen stop eating it.

"Auntie, I also want to have a grandchild soon. But my two sons haven't given any sign yet."

"You're the reason. Cloud already has Ara, just marry them!"

I choked on my own food when Grandma Sun said my name. At once everyone turned towards me, not least the queen.

"Ara, are you okay?"

Cloud immediately gave me a glass of water. He showed his concern in front of his extended family.

"Cloud?!"

The queen stared intently at her son. He felt like he was being lied to. He also moved from his seat.

"Cloud, what does all this mean?!" ask the queen to Cloud.

"Queen, sit. We're eating." King requested.

The Queen looked so annoyed at Cloud. I also feel bad about myself. The atmosphere felt so gripping.

Huh, why did this have to happen.

I tried to normalize my diaphragm after choking on food. While the sharp gaze of the queen, I see it still pointing towards me. At last, lunch is over. So I was able to escape from this room immediately.

A few moments later...

"You okay, Ara?"

Now I walked with Cloud down the corridor of the room, intending to head to his study to discuss my plans.

"I'm fine, Cloud," I said with a smile.

"All right, come on." Cloud offered his left hand to me. "Don't be ashamed" he said.

I also took his hand while walking together towards his study. Cloud seemed to spoil me.

"Don't wait for me, Ara. Just do as you please." Cloud emphasized that I did not feel sorry for him anymore.

"cloud!"

Before long, there was the sound of someone calling Cloud's name. We turned around to find the origin of the sound.

Queen ...?

I immediately took my hand off from Cloud. The queen of this kingdom was seen walking quickly towards us.

Well, what else is going to happen?

My heart's so dag-dig-dug ungodly. Getting closer, it felt like he wanted to faint. I'm afraid the queen will be angry with me.

"Cloud, I want to talk!" he said, staring intently at his son.

"What do you want to talk about?" ask Cloud mannered.

"Em, I'm sorry, Her Majesty the Queen. I'd better resign. Excuse me," I said goodbye.

I let Cloud talk to his mother for four eyes. However, before he could step foot, Cloud pulled my hand and held it tightly. I was confused myself.

"Cloud ...?"

"Stay here, Ara," Cloud said, turning to me.

Cloud actually dared to show his affection in front of the queen. He looks so calm. While I ... want to feel like taking a thousand steps.
