Suddenly Adaline asked to stop this journey, she cried and screamed hysterically. Her heart felt like being torn apart by a wild animal, her father, mother and younger brother who she loved so much had to die horribly at the hands of Father Shem. King Theophylus theodorus. Really her heart is very disappointed in the Kingdom of Sadrach. Especially with Shem. The man she loved and could do nothing for her. Really she could not imagine having to live in the place of the murderer of her family. Every time she will meet the King of the killer. She will not be able to deal with situations like that every day.
"Stop this horse!" She shouted in tears.
"Adaline, I'm very sorry and I'm very sad for what happened to your family," said Shem humbly.
"I said stop this horse!" at once Shem tried to stop the horse. Unexpectedly, one of Shem's hand that had been holding Adaline's waist had Adaline tapered off. She jumped off the horse without warning. Shem and the others looked really shocked?
"What are you doing, Adaline?" shouted Shem.
"Leave me here! I don't want to live in your palace! I can't stay with my family's killer! Go away Shem! Let me here. This is my birthplace!" Adaline ran as hard as she could to leave them. Her tears were unstoppable. She was devastated. She felt like a human standing on the edge of a cliff and then falling into it. She felt that she had been devastated, unable to accept this heartbreaking reality. Her beloved brother, Andrew ... Her beloved father, King Ignatius and her beloved mother, Queen of Librivia are now only a memory. Adaline ran and kept running in no direction. Shem immediately got off his horse and pursued it with brisk strides.
"Adaline! This is very dangerous, you can die if you are here alone! Come with me, Adaline." Shem was still running after the girl.
Adaline is only a woman. No matter how hard she ran, she would still lose to a trained Shem. Shem had started to shorten the distance between himself and Adaline. It appeared in Shem's eyes that the girl was starting to falter. She only wore a long skirt which must have made it difficult for her to walk. She fell to her knees and crumpled on the ground decorated with dry grass. She cried in a sorrowful voice. Shem immediately hugged his lover from behind.
"No darling, I will not let you alone in this danger! I could not save any of the Serafin members, let me save you. The only descendant of Serafin that remains. I beg you to come with me, Adaline," said Shem apologetically because he too feel that sadness. He is very fond of the Queen of Librivia as his future mother-in-law. She also loves Andrew, her future brother-in-law. They often rode together and played with swords. That won't be forgotten by Shem.
"I can't Shem! I don't want to live there. THERE'S MY FAMILY BLOOD THAT'S GETTING OUT !!!" she shouted loudly full of anger and shrieked the ears of anyone who heard that scream.
Because Adaline has lost control of her sadness. Shem then tightened his arms, but the girl continued to struggle asking to be released and wanted to leave Shem. Shem looks overwhelmed to face Adaline.
"PLEASE FOLLOW ME !!! Don't be like this Adaline, you have to get up. I can't save your father from being prosecuted for his own mistakes. I've tried, Adaline. My father is stubborn! ! " Shem also seemed to start shedding tears to see the girl he loved had broken his heart.
"Let me die Shem, I want to stay here! There's no point in me being alive. Everything's gone without a trace. I want to just die !!!"
"Don't say that, Adaline." Shem continued to seduce him.
"So what am I living for?" She shouted again.
"FOR ME !!! You must live for me! I can't live without you, Adaline!" Shem replied with his honest feelings. Shem and Adaline huddled on the ground. They argued with their respective decisions, but Shem was suddenly surprised to feel the girl in his arms weak and motionless.
"ADALINE !!! ADALINE !!! wake up Adaline !!!" Apparently the girl fainted because she could not bear such grief.
Shem got up from his position, he tried to lift Adaline's frail body, he carried her and brought her back to where their horse was standing. There was still Elliott and Abraham who had gotten off their horse.
Shem walked away sadly. He continued to stare at the girl's face. Full of very poignant strokes. Describes the breaking of his heart and soul.
"What are we going to do, sir?" asked Abraham.
"We will still take him to the palace. There is no other way to save his life. And we will carry out according to our plans. I will persuade him slowly. He will understand." Shem gave Adaline's body to be carried by Abraham because he was going to ride a horse. Then he asked Abraham to also raise Adaline's body in front of Shem to sit down. Shem directed Adaline to face him, and positioned the girl on his lap, because Adaline was passed out. Shem had to hug her to keep her safe and not fall. He hugged Adaline's body with one hand that he held, he pressed the girl's body against Shem's body. While the other hand he uses to control the horse rope. They started running the horse not too fast. So that Shem can maintain his balance.
The two loyal followers were still following his steps.
Elliot in front of Shem and Abraham were still riding behind Shem on guard. Shem was overcome with deep anxiety. He only wishes the best for his lover and himself. He did not know what kind of obstacles they would face in the palace later. All he knew was trying to choose the best for the safety of Adaline, his lover.
They walked down the barren streets. The weather is a little hot and there is still a long way to go. They couldn't speed up their horse because of Adaline's condition, which was not possible.
