"Royce... Royce!!! Hey! Open the door now!" a very familiar voice was deafening, and the owner of the voice was knocking on Royce's bedroom door quite loudly and impatiently.
doc doc doc doc
The eyes of the brown-haired youth who was sitting leaning back who was finally asleep, blinked for a moment. But in the next second, this young man continued to close his eyes even tighter.
"Who is it?! That person is so annoying!" Royce grumbled in his mind as he smirked and closed his eyes.
"ROYCE!!!" however, the owner of the loud and discordant voice was not discouraged. He kept shouting the name of his brother while constantly knocking loudly on the door of Royce's private room.
"Royce... if you don't open this door on the count of three... I'll force my way through it!" threatened someone behind the door who looked earnest.
Hearing something dangerous in his room, at that moment Royce got up from his seat and rushed towards the door with a face full of anger.
BRAAKKK
Royce opened the door so violently that the handle hit the wall on the other side hard.
It was clear now that the person who was knocking on the door impatiently was Royce's youngest brother, Rumi.
"What do you want? HAH?!" Royce's tone suddenly sounded so angry. His face was flushed with a fierce and brusque expression.
"W-wait a minute! Calm down, Royce ..." the girl was now speaking in a tone so low that it sounded like a frightened person. "It sucks when you're like this, Royce."
Although it could be seen that the girl was frightened by her first brother's tantrum, the girl still said things that made Royce's emotions rise.
"Just tell me what do you want?" The black-eyed young man didn't want to feel even more irritated with his youngest brother who was famous for his harsh words when it came to his brother
"Oh, alright..." Rumi took a deep breath and then let it out quietly. He moved his hands up and down as he inhaled.
Royce rolled his eyes, he couldn't understand his sister's behavior that was getting worse. Even though the girl will be married soon, but her behavior is still the same as before. At least that's what makes Royce, will not feel the loss of a family member again.
"So it goes... Royce, I'm... going to have a wedding with Will... I want it in this house but, Will says he already has the perfect place for it. Then... for his own time... Will and I haven't decided yet. Therefore, tomorrow night I want to hold a family meeting to discuss this. So... that's all I want to tell you," then Rumi smiled a wide smile that showed a row of white teeth.
The eldest son of the Harfi and Gibson families rolled his eyes again, then he placed his hands in front of his face to cover his face.
"Why?" asked Rumi innocently.
The young man in front of him sighed as he opened his arms and looked at Rumi well, "Listen, I... will always support whatever makes you happy. Therefore, I will do anything even if it's a very sudden thing for me. But...my dear sister, my youngest sister, my sweet sister... DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN WAKE UP BY KNOCKING LOUDLY ON THE DOOR WHILE Screaming LIKE THAT!" then the young man panted after saying the last sentence full of emotion to his sister.
Rumi's eyes widened greatly, his heart beat faster, and he stuttered in response to his brother's words, "alright. I'm sorry," it could be felt and heard clearly that the girl felt sorry for her actions.
Then the 20-year-old girl turned around and began to move her feet to step away from her brother's angry area.
However, Royce forbade him to go, "Wait a minute. Remember, Rumi... I'm not mad at you. I'm just annoyed you woke me from sleep with a very sweet dream. That's all... that's why I'm really annoyed at your behavior earlier."
At that moment Rumi stopped moving his feet, then immediately returned to face Royce's room door which was still wide open.
The girl's eyes squinted at her sister intently. As for Royce, he seemed to be frowning, surprised and confused by another silly behavior from his sister. Inwardly, the young man muttered, "why else is he here?" Then the young man took a deep breath.
"What did you dream about when you were sleeping? What... a bad dream?" chirps originating from Rumi while his eyes keep narrowing like someone who is researching something.
"W-what?! Impossible. Of course my dream is full of the luxury of a royal prince who is full of authority, hehe," said Royce doubtfully. At that moment his gaze shifted to another angle.
"Then why won't you look at me now?" Rumi began to suspect his older brother's unusual behavior.
"That's enough. It's none of your business either," the young man occasionally glanced at his younger brother who remained with the behavior of a detective.
"Hm... you are nervous, not returning my gaze either. Hm ... it is certain that something is wrong with your dream ..." continued the girl with long brown curls as she approached her sister.
"What's wrong is your brain, Rumi!" at the same time, Royce's gaze shifted back to his little sister. He sounded irritated, but still patiently tolerated his youngest brother's childish behavior.
Suddenly Rumi distanced himself from Royce, his eyes no longer narrowed, now he looks normal again. But now his mouth is moving forward with a slightly frowning forehead, "if there is something wrong in my brain, then what's up with your brain? We are one womb, one womb, surely our brains are the same, right?"
Royce's eyes widened, the next second the young man sighed as he closed his eyes for a moment, "Okay. You won... that's it, I'm so tired. I want to take a rest."
Royce's right hand was ready to close the door again. Even so, his intentions were crushed when he saw the pitiful look on his little sister's face.
"What else, Rumi...?"
"Thank You. I love you so much. I hope, you get the best girl who can make you live happily and prosperous forever. I... love you very much, Royce."
Shortly after Rumi said touching words, he immediately turned around and went for a walk to another room in the house.
Meanwhile, Royce was still rooted to the spot after hearing the touching words of his youngest brother. But strangely, when Rumi said there was a girl who made Royce happy, lived happily with Royce, suddenly two people's names and their faces flashed through his mind. Namely the faces and names of the two girls, Kayra Mahakam, and Maira Wijaya.
"Hahhh... how annoying it is to have an older brother like Royce."
Rumi grumbled all the way from his return from before Royce's private room. The girl sat up throwing herself on the bed.
In Rumi's room, someone was waiting for the girl by sitting on a soft chair made of super soft foam which was located near the window.
"Why are you angry? Didn't you just tell Royce about our wedding?" a handsome man came to Rumi and sat beside the brown haired girl.
The girl looked back at the young man, "I don't know. Maybe ... because my monthly guest will come so ... I want to be angry and not clear. Just that."
"Monthly guest?" The young man's brow furrowed.
Rumi's head moved quickly up and down, "A woman always has visitors every month, right?"
"Oh yeah, I... then... tonight... can't?" said the young man with a pitiful face.
"Can't what do you mean?" Rumi's eyebrows met in the middle, now his mind was full of wild questions.
"You do not understand? I can't believe it," William smirked while mocking the pretending girl.
"Ah never mind. We're not married yet, how could I just understand that. Besides... if we get married the day after tomorrow, I won't let you do whatever you want every night we sleep together. Especially on our first night..." Rumi looked at Will with a passionate and alluring look, his charm seemed to come out perfectly right then and there.
"A-hahahaha..." however, because the young man was worried that he might lose control at any moment, he moved and backed away from Rumi.
"Why did you stay away?" now the girl's voice sounded very sweet and cute, so loud that it was enough to make Royce angry again.
At that moment the girl's room door made a loud sound, someone was knocking loudly.
doc doc doc
"Oh, my sister must be annoying! So disturbing!" Rumi quickly got out of bed and then rushed to the front door.
Meanwhile, the young man who had been tempted by Rumi's seduction, now only watched the girl who hurriedly reached the door to see the person who had come into her bedroom. Then the young man smiled warmly as his eyes didn't take his eyes off the girl in the light blue dress.
Will was muttering in his heart, "It's true that he's childish, but... we can complement each other because I too have so many flaws. Haahh... what a perfect match and match indeed."
Meanwhile, Rumi, having managed to reach the doorknob quickly without a second thought, the girl violently opened the door that was the way out and into her bedroom.
"What is it?" he asked in a rather high-pitched voice, frowning and crossing his arms across his chest. It was clear that a young man who looked like him was now standing with both hands holding his waist. The young man's emotions seemed to overflow.
"Could it be if you don't need to use a loud voice to speak? You're so loud in here! It's really annoying, you know that!" no less high-pitched with Rumi, Royce including people who can not let something bother him just like that.
Then Royce leaned forward to peek at what was in his youngest brother's bedroom. However, Rumi let her sister behave like that while helping her by changing her standing position to the left side of the door.
Royce's eyes narrowed and looked around carefully. It's like stalking prey that can't be let go.
"Satisfied?" asked Rumi curtly.
Royce was still in his position surveying the contents of his little brother's private room, but he couldn't find anything or someone he was looking for, and he assumed it would be in this place. And that person must have been the cause of his sister's loud voice when she spoke so that it could be heard in Royce's room.
When Rumi asked, his brother didn't care at all. For a long time, the brown-haired youth remained steadfast in his determination to find the cause of the thing that bothered him.
"Royce! What exactly are you looking for? There's nothing in this room of mine!" The 20-year-old girl was irritated by the behavior of her brother who did not listen to what he had to say. Then the girl looked at Royce sharply without blinking a second pu.
A few seconds later Royce finally stood up straight, but his arms were now crossed in the middle and it was a sign that he was still annoyed with the random behavior of his youngest brother.
Royce looked back at Rumi, "no need to look at me like that," Royce's right hand brushed Rumi's face roughly.
At that moment Rumi blocked him by hitting Royce's hand hard enough and moving his head in another direction so as not to be hit by Royce's big hand.
"Whatever I want this is my room, and you have absolutely no right to control it!" Rumi spoke again curtly and full of emotion.
"Yes! You're absolutely right. And I will never care about you again, no matter how big the danger that will arise!" Royce replied no less high-pitched voice.
"OHO! You don't need to protect me now, Royce... because I already have my own powers. Also, I have a husband who is ready at any time to protect me from all kinds of dangers that are lurking or even approaching me!"
Now the random bickering of the two brothers continues to be very monotonous. All the things they say, all the things they throw at each other as to who is the most superior of them.
"OHOHO! Don't be arrogant, Rumi! I also have someone who I will make as a wife. And you know, my future wife is prettier, nicer, and more everything than you!"
"O WOW, that's great. But wait, is there really a perfect girl like that who wants to be with you? People who are easily angered, like emotions even if only a little disturbed. Is there any?" Rumi's face turned into a very disdainful one at his first brother's skill in finding a partner.
"HEH! Who do you think broke Kayra's heart? HAH?! If your brother isn't handsome, kind, and strong, a Kayra Mahakam wouldn't be able to fall in love with me that much," Royce was now arrogant with his thoughts.
"OHHH well ... so you are proud to have acted like that to someone who has contributed to your family?"
Royce's face suddenly stopped looking arrogant, now he seemed to be thinking by looking the other way.
"As expected that you will regret it. Therefore, if you want to boast about something, brag moreover... think before you act and act."
"Never mind, I'm tired of endless arguing with you. I'd better go back to my place."
"Yeah go on, get enough rest. Since we don't know, what kind of danger is in the next few hours...."
After confirming that Royce had gone away from Rumi's room, unexpectedly William had been standing behind the girl so that when he turned around and finished closing the door, he was both shocked and surprised.
"What is it? Why didn't I know where you were?" Rumi pretended to be confused by Will's behavior.
The young man just smiled as he gently stroked Rumi's hair, "You are so nosy. It's nice to tease her own sister like that."
"Yes! I'm very happy when I see emotions. Yes... even though I was actually a bit scared, because no matter how angry a man is, moreover he is definitely very fierce and far from reasonable."
"Excessive. Ha ha ha."
"So what? Do you feel sorry for your future brother-in-law?"
"Not. What's the pity for? He is stronger and more everything than me. So I shouldn't pity him."
"What are you talking about? Ha ha ha ha."
"I don't know either, maybe it was because you were infected that you became like this. Ahahahaha."
The conversation between the lovers was still continuing, after they finished talking about Rumi's older brother, now they shifted the topic to something unusual. Not to do with happiness or sweet things.
The face of the handsome blue-eyed young man sitting beside Rumi's bed now looks gloomy. His eyes were fixed on something outside the bedroom window. Every now and then it can be seen that the young man sighed quickly, as if he was holding back the pain, pain, and inner wound in his heart.
Although Rumi felt strange and wanted to ask the cause, but he couldn't casually ask something quite personal. That is about his family. Because after all, the long story that Peter had told Rumi about Will some time ago, was not enough to satisfy Rumi's curiosity.
In his heart Rumi was wondering, "Earlier... why couldn't my brother find him huh? Did Will use his magic? But... isn't the magic disappearing even if it's only temporary?"
The frown on the black-eyed girl's forehead was a sign that she was not in a good condition. The girl's eyes looked unfocused, she looked in another direction but her mind drifted somewhere.
"What's wrong, Rumi? What's wrong with you?" Will realized that, he was worried about the mental state of his future wife.
"Ah... it's okay. I'm... fine, just... maybe sleep deprived. Oh, yes ... it's dawn now, my parents must be sleeping too. So... I'm going to sleep too, good night, Will."
At that moment Rumi lay down on a soft, fragrant, and comfortable bed. Then he didn't forget a thick blanket to cover his whole body from the cold in the morning suburb of Willis.
A few minutes later, Rumi changed his sleeping position to be sideways to the right which means his back to the sitting position of Will. The yellow-haired youth understood the behavior of his future wife, who was in an unstable state.
After that, Will made sure that Rumi was sound asleep while bringing his face closer to Rumi's face. Now, they are faced with a very close distance. With Will lying down on Rumi's bed, next to the girl with both hands resting on her head.
The two young men's eyes watched carefully the face of a girl he loved who had been sleeping for a long time.
"Sleep well," Will murmured then, tugging at the corners of his lips.
Then Will rubbed Rumi's cheek with tenderness and affection. In his mind, he didn't really care what other people said about their relationship. Namely hate speech that is so demeaning to the dignity of a Will who suddenly claims to be the future husband of a princess as beautiful as Rumi.
Although there were many things that broke the young man's heart, nothing was more painful than finding the person who had killed his parents in the Dove district.
"I promise you, Rumi. After my magic returns to perfection, I will immediately go to where that person is and avenge my family. After that... our life will go well. I promise."
Even though the handsome young man was only muttering, it was Rumi who had not yet fully entered the dream world, because Will was in front of Rumi, the girl could hear clearly what her future husband was saying.
In Rumi's mind, there was a thought that the relationship would not run smoothly because many people were against it. Even though they seemed to agree and didn't show anything suspicious, it still couldn't be denied that Will did have a bad life history, which in fact, according to Rumi, his husband's life journey was full of very sad grief.
Will suddenly flinched as he felt something pricking his chest. "What's this?" he muttered in surprise as he got out of bed.
Then before long, the tightness came back with a stronger one. "Uhh!" groaned the young man as he tried to reach a chair near the window.
With staggering and struggling, Will finally managed to reach the loveseat and sit on it with difficulty.
His right hand holds the front of the body that still hurts, "what is this feeling? why all of a sudden?"
Will tries to find out the cause by using the remaining magic power he has. In the silence of his mind, he closed his eyes and then tried to focus on something from the root or source of his current pain.
ZZZZZZZZZZ
A shadow of a bluish light appeared so bright, at that moment the yellow haired youth's eyes opened. His eyes bulged violently, "a sword?"
Then he tried to get up from his seat to look for the object in question, namely Rumi's knight sword.
Will constantly searched for the sword in Rumi's room, in places where it was possible for the girl to keep the most valuable things for her family and herself.
However, after a long time of searching, Will couldn't find anything he was looking for. Even though he had rummaged through the cupboard and other small places the young man could not find it either.
"Where does Rumi keep it?" The young man's forehead wrinkled, his chest still ached. The power of the sword, even though it was not near and far from Will, the young mage could still feel the effects of the power of the knight's sword which was indeed an antidote to magic power.
"UHHH!" Will grimaced again, now he was slumped in front of the cupboard opposite the bed, therefore Rumi did not hear the sound of his falling from Will's knee which the young man was holding so as not to make a noise when he touched the wooden floor.
Will stared at a girl who was fast asleep on the bed, unconsciously swallowing saliva in her throat.
The young man wrinkled his forehead, "could it be that he kept the sword at the bottom of his bed? But... I can't just wake him up, I... don't want to disturb his rest."
Even in a sad state, Will still thinks about the condition of his future wife.
Finally, after a long time the young man sat limply on the floor, he decided to go away from Rumi's private room.
Slowly he got up and opened the door to Rumi's room, then he went out by passing through the door before he had looked at the girl who was fast asleep on the bed for a long time.
While outside the room, after closing the door, someone was watching William's movements.
That person was Kimi, the cold girl approached Will who was still silent by standing limply beside Rumi's bedroom door.
"What are you doing here?" asked Kimi curtly, he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"The power of Rumi's knight's sword is so strong, I can't bear to get close to him," Will replied, struggling to endure the pain and tightness in his chest.
"Follow me, you'd better stay away from that sword area."
Then Kimi turned around and walked to the backyard area of the house. As for the yellow-haired youth, he only complied by following the girl while walking slowly behind Kimi.
"Do you know why I'm like this?" Will asked as their feet were still walking toward the backyard.
"Shut up! I'll explain later," replied Kimi curtly without turning to Will.
Will complied by keeping his mouth shut and holding back all the questions that were running through his mind.
When he arrived at the backyard, suddenly the pain and pain in Will's body suddenly disappeared as if he had never felt pain. He is back fit and healthy again.
The two young men's eyes widened in shock, "how could that be...?" Will stared in surprise at Kimi who still had her back to him.
Shortly after, Kimi turned around and met Will's gaze sharply, "That's because this area is filled with fairies and also friendly and holy forest creatures. They are so pure that they can relieve all pain in the body. Do you remember the first time you came to this place with Rumi?"
At that moment Will's head nodded confidently, "Yes, I remember. So what?"
"What did you feel the first time you set foot here?"
"Ordinary."
"Are you really stupid or what?"
"What do you mean talking like that?!" Will began to get carried away by emotions because of Kimi's harsh words.
"You feel serene, peaceful and happy, don't you?"
This time Will only replied to Kimi's words with a casual nod. Although actually in Will's head, there is a sentence that he can feel the pleasure because he is with the person he loves.
"That's what makes this garden special, because it is inhabited by hundreds if not thousands of pure and pure little fairies."
After saying that, suddenly from behind Kimi came a group of something flying in a neat order. The group made a sparkling light that warmed the heart and soothed the eyes when they saw it.
