We are settled in the private cabin.
There are two single bed, a tub, shower and lavatory.
Leonid already fallen asleep.
I am restless and still in trauma.
I made sure to locked the doors.
The ship already started it's voyage at 10 in the evening.
I am drained and tired, but I don't want to missed my Journal today.
I wrote...
December 20, 1980
Moscow
My beloved,
My heart died today.
I felt numb and my tears drained.
I loss my truest friend and lost my loving Nana.
I saw my family's last portrait in the banquet hall wall.
I missed my kin so dearly.
O my dear, dead heart and shattered soul,
Be still and be strong.
We are still in the midst of our battle.
We have to win the war from rebels.
I will collect all that is mine.
All rebels will be perished.
By God's grace, I will claim my victory!
Beatrix
I closed my journal and closed my eyes to sleep.
"Nana...Where are you?"
I beautiful face, paled skin and a bullet wound in the head appeared in front of me.
"My Princess...I love you more than my own. Follow your intuition and you will win."
"Nana!?!?!?!" I called loudly.
Then, I saw her body floating into the water.
I'm awakened.
Leonid is already up and manage to approached me in bed.
He shook my right arm to bring me to the present.
"It's ok our Amelia, it's just a dream."
Then he said, "Be ready, we will have our breakfast in 30 minutes."
I nodded in response.
I have done changing into new clothes.
A pair of Mama's jeans, sneakers and colorful folk shirt in long sleeves and a sweater.
The weather is freezing these days.
Some parts of the ocean, had some glacier.
But our cabin has its own heater from coal.
When suddenly, somebody's knocking on the door.
Leonid signaled to keep silent and hide.
Then, his actions is calculated.
He carried his firearm hidden in his waistline.
Leonid opened the door in small portion to check outside for their safety.
And he saw the waiter bringing the tray with food.
And so, he opened the entryway for the waiter to come in.
Leonid instructed the waiter to serve the food in the table and leave immediately.
And the waiter followed the instructions and leave the cabin.
As soon as the waiter is outside, Leonid locked the door in a swift manner.
"Amelia... you can now go out and it's time to eat."
I unhidden myself from the lavatory.
And prepared to share the table.
Leonid checked the food by eating a little, then, the drinks by drinking a little, to avoid possible poisoning for The Princess.
"You may now eat it, it's safe."
Then, he continued talking while eating...
"Amelia, you knew well...our arrangement, everytime we need to conceal ourselves. We need to be discreet to our words and actions."
"Yes, Leonid." I responded.
Then he added in almost a whisper,
"As soon as we arrived at the Port of Anchorage, a chauffeur and two secret military personnel will meet us and will be our guard. I need for you to be strong and mindful. Anything could happen, anytime. As Irina told you everyday, just follow your intuition and you can never go wrong."
"Yes, I understand." my short response.
And continued..
"Your Nana was able to contact your Uncle Charles to notify him about you. She then called me about the arrangements. That you will be delivered in Alaska for safety and identification."
I silently nod.
"Do you have the velvet pouch?" he asked.
"Yes, I have it."
"Put it to safety as much as you can. That will be your key along with your scar, to gain back the Kingdom that your family lost. Your Uncle Charles need that for identification."
"I will keep it secure as my life." I responded in almost a murmur.
