Adaline kept shedding tears. She was the last to witness her father's departure that night. How her father cried at that time. Even though all this time her father had never shed a tear even in front of her or her family. Her father deeply felt the heavy burden she carried and that would befall her and her country.
Adaline and Andrew decided to go back to the cave and bring the food they had gotten after touring the forest earlier. With a heavy heart, Adaline returned to where her mother was. Adaline repeatedly looked back because it was hard to see her father in the opposite area facing a crisis. To be honest, Adaline wanted to immediately run there and make sure her father and country were on her own. She did not want to be a coward and only sacrificed his people.
If his people had to die, he was willing to die because Adaline didn't want to be a coward like this. She didn't think that her father actually hid her, instead of inviting her sons and daughters to become knights? Adaline has a plan that she will keep to herself and will do it herself. Adaline knew that if it was told to Andrew, then her younger brother would not be able to agree with the plan later. Adaline wanted to leave secretly tonight and without her mother and younger brother knowing, but for now. Adaline must be patient first.
Their mother put on a face full of anxiety, because she felt that the departure of her son and daughter took longer than usual. So the mother asked them when she found they had returned. Their mother smiled happily.
"You've been taking so long, where have you been? I'm really worried because you've never been away so long like this," Mom asked them.
"We're looking for groceries as usual, Mother. It's just that the area was a little further away," said Adaline.
"We also climbed the hill, Mother. Because we wanted to see the atmosphere that was visible from afar, namely the atmosphere of our country there. It looks like a war is going on, Dad's guess is right, there is a roar and thick fog from there, Mother." Andrew told what he saw.
Even though Adaline tried to hide the news so that her mother wouldn't feel sad and panicked, her mother must be very sad to know the news of her country, her kingdom, her palace which is now being attacked by the Sadrach kingdom, a kingdom whose family has been very close to Serafin. It even fused immediately, yet it had failed. Her mother must be very miserable because she thinks about the fate of the king Serafin who is also her husband there? Was he fighting and defending himself and his people? Until her mother shed tears knowing all this.
"Mom, Father and many of their commanders are great people, who cannot be defeated that easily. Surely they will fight as much as possible, Mom. Don't be sad like this. Let's help pray from here, Mom. There is nothing we can do but pray ," replied Adaline calming her mother at this time.
The three of them spent the day anxiously. Just trying to survive without being able to do anything for their country, even for food they are very worrying. Even needing help should be. The three of them chatted and spent time from day to day without knowing what their future fate would be. Adaline hugged her mother for a very long time and stroked her mother's arms and back. The mother still had not stopped crying because she was very curious about the fate of King Ignasius, her husband.
Night had come and Adaline, who had not slept yet, began to open her eyes because she had not slept, and was only pretending to be asleep. After Adaline confirmed that Andrew and her mother had fallen asleep, Adaline was ready to carry out her actions. She wanted to go to the battle arena on the other side, she wanted to go to his country and see for herself how the atmosphere of war was. She just hoped there was a glimmer of hope that with her arrival, who knows, things could change a little bit. She just wanted to meet the Prince of Shem and wanted to talk to her. Maybe her love still resides for Adaline.
Yes, although Adaline knew she couldn't expect much. And her current condition, when she met Shem was a gamble. Adaline only hopes that the remnants of Prince Shem's love may still be left for her? And maybe it can make the Prince feel sorry and then persuade her father? Then Adaline's shadow. The two kingdoms will be able to make peace again. Adaline stepped back away from her beloved family, which was only Andrew and the Queen of Librifia, her mother. Adaline stepped in tears.
Time and time again she wiped the tears, the tears were falling down her luscious cheeks. She sobbed in the silence of her own two hands. She walked with certainty but her mind was filled with doubts, but Adaline wanted to do something that might be useful before her life was over. She knew very well the path she was taking was full of risks. Her brother, Andrew, was right. That she could die before reaching Serafin's palace. Maybe even forever will never be able to meet the Prince she loves, Prince Shem.
Adaline left a message that she wrote on the ground in front of the cave, she said she would fight with Dad. She says she will try to ask Prince Shem for help, may she forgive Adaline kingdom. Adaline only needs prayers from her sister and mother. Adaline crept up and approached her horse. There is still one horse left for the activities of her brother and mother. Adaline was desperate because of her unanimous determination. As a princess, she couldn't bear the struggle of her people who gave up their lives.
