Chapter 16 - 16 Masyayel

Adaline started to open her eyes. He felt that his head was very dizzy and in a state of confusion. Where is he now? Such a strange place to him. Elliot hurried to him because he had not regained consciousness and Prince Shem had visited him several times. Because worrying him.

"Have you regained consciousness, Masyayel? Drink this potion so you can recover quickly," he said, handing him a glass of drink.

"Where am I Elliot?" asked the girl.

"Uncle Elliot! From now on please the Princess call me Uncle, because the Princess is my nephew," he explained to Adaline.

"Where am I, Uncle?" he asked again.

"You are in Sadrach's palace. The prince brought you here." Elliot explained.

Adaline started crying again. He doesn't want to live here. He did not want to live with the killers of his family. He covered his face with his hands. She cried in a heart-touching voice. Sobbing because she felt so sad and couldn't do anything about it.

"I will call the Prince here, earlier the message was like that if he saw you had regained consciousness. I have to tell him." Elliot leaves Adaline. Then it didn't take long before he came back and brought Prince Shem into his room.

"Honey, I'm glad you woke up. You were out for a long time. I'm really worried about you." Shem immediately sat beside Adaline lying down. Elliot gives a plate of food to Shem for Adaline.

"I said I don't want to stay here Shem!" he said still crying.

"Later we will find another way, huh? In the meantime, please understand, the situation is very difficult, I have no other choice. Be patient, we will face it together, okay?" says Shem as he wipes Adaline's tears. He immediately received a plate of food because Adaline had not eaten anything earlier. Shem began to persuade the girl to open her mouth.

"Please, now eat, okay? So that your stomach will fill up with something." Adaline looked into the eyes of Shem who was trying to feed him. He slowly began to open his mouth and then gradually began to eat it. Although still in tears. He also felt that Shem had a point too. Because Shem has done his best for himself at this time.

Shem is actually very sad to see the condition of his lover who is now full of dilemmas. Himself as a man felt worthless because he could not do anything for the good of the girl. He also did not say that the King, his father, had saved the heads of the beheading prisoners at that time, namely the Adaline family. Father, mother and brother. How could he say it. It would have torn the girl's heart apart if she knew that her family had become victims of a sadistic massacre under the guise of beheading. Then now their situation is even more tragic because their bodies were not buried in their proper condition. In fact, it was used as a display at the special Museum at the Palace. Shem does have to cover a lot from two directions. Covering Adaline's disguise as Masyayel in the palace and covering up his father's crimes against his lover.

"Elliot, can you leave us?" Shem ordered.

"Yes, my lord." Elliot immediately left the room. He thwarted Shem with Adaline both in the room.

Shem started stroking Adaline's long and golden hair, then he kissed her forehead intimately. He hugged her tightly in his arms, while Adaline was sobbing more and more.

Shem suddenly remembered the time when he first started getting to know and getting close to Adaline. He remembers his beautiful teenage days at that time. When they are all safe, serene and peaceful. Long before this conflict between the two Kingdoms happened and exploded as it is today.

He remembered his father taking him more and more frequently to Serafin's court for diplomatic, economic and particularly bartering and trade purposes. He met Adaline more and more often. When he judged the bad girl was very annoying at first. Shem felt himself getting comfortable and starting to like Adaline, a teenager who was two years younger than him.

He didn't realize since when he started feeling comfortable with that girl, since the annoying incident that was done by Adaline to him. Shem had a chance to hold grudges and anger, but the more often they met and saw the closeness of their father. Causes Shem to start changing his attitude, from being hateful to being more caring and starting to like teenage Adaline.

Every time Shem and his father visited Serafin's palace, Shem would look for the whereabouts of the 12 year old little girl, because he did not know anything about her father's and Adaline's father's business. While the two Kings were talking and negotiating, Shem would run into a serafine garden which was full of flowers and there was a garden filled with trees.

"You haven't invited me to the back garden of your palace. Adaline, you said there is a garden that contains some of your favorite animals." Shem asked about the promise Adaline had made.

"Do you really want to know? You must be very fascinated." Adaline grabbed Shem's arm. The girl with white skin and long hair took Shem's hand and took him somewhere. They have to pass through two parks first, a flower garden and a garden of trees. Then they also had to go through the palace corridors to get to the very end and rear location of the palace. Therein lies the Adaline Pet Park.

After they arrived at that location, Shem was very amazed, he was amazed to see it all by shaking his head.

Adaline just smiled seeing it.

There are lots of squirrels running around among the trees, there are horses, goats, cows, chickens, birds, cats, dogs, snakes, and many more animals that are there. These animals are of various types and origins, like cats alone there are up to 12 different types, and so are other animals.
