Princess Cerllynda immediately closed the door to her room tightly, locking it immediately. She threw herself on the bed, crying again instantly. She sobbed alone there. She couldn't accept all this. Every now and then she would wipe her tears violently. She got up from his bed and sat on the side of his bed, taking a photo of her mother on the nightstand.
She looked at her mother's face with longing. Maybe if the mother was still around, she wouldn't be like this. Her mother would definitely support him at this time and hug him when he cried. She missed all of that, her caresses, her hugs, her soft voice.
"Mother!!" Princess Cerllynda shouted out her anger.
She didn't know what to do after this, her father would definitely guard her tightly so she wouldn't leave the kingdom. Surrender, no. She is not a girl who gives up easily.
"Mother, I miss you so much. I really want to meet you, hug you and cry in your lap. Your father has changed, you have always forced me to do what he wants. Even my father has dared to slap me, look! blush."
She wiped his tears again and caressed her mother's face. She smiled faintly seeing her mother smiling in the photo.
"I'm sure you're here, but why can't I see you?" She said again remembering her dream last night meeting his mother, he wanted to meet her again even though it was just a dream.
Suddenly her attention was distracted by seeing a light beside him, then the light turned into a scroll of paper. She was absolutely sure that it was a letter from Gressylia. With a doubtful heart, he opened the letter.
"Greetings Princess Cerllynda.
I'm sorry that I can't fulfill your wish. Wipe your tears, don't cry anymore and smile. Your smile looks so beautiful and soothing. I really want to talk to you directly, but unfortunately I can't.
Princess, I hope you can continue to be happy even if it's not with me. I can't do anything for you anymore. I've lost. Actually I feel like I could propose to you in another way that you didn't even know about until everyone in Carvandalle. Unfortunately, I can't do that.
I can only hope that you will continue to be happy. Trust me I'm there for you, whenever you need me I'm there for you. But, I will never be able to appear in front of you. Smile for me Princess, wipe your tears for me. Tears are too precious to cry for sadness, I love you Princess. Stay happy.
Greetings Gressilia."
Princess Cerllynda smiled faintly, rather she forced her lips to smile while reading the letter, moreover Gressylia asked her to smile.
"I'm at a loss for words for you Gress, I don't know what else to say to you. My words are finished," Princess Cerllynda whispered, squeezing the paper.
"Is this the end of my love story?" She asked herself. She didn't know, she didn't know what to do. He was at a loss for words for now. It felt like she just wanted to sit still and do nothing.
"Tok, tok, tok."
The sound of a knock on the door was heard, awakening him from her daydream. She was just silent without intending to answer who she was outside her room.
"My lord, the king is waiting for the princess to have lunch!"
Sge recognized the voice, her personal maid, Mina. She was just silent, too lazy to do anything at the moment.
"Tell him I'm not hungry!" Princess Cerllynda's command gave an answer after she was silent for a while without even moving from her bed.
"Yes Princess, excuse me!"
There's nothing out there anymore. Princess Cerllynda put the letter from Gressylia into a box containing all letters from Gressylia. Also put the photo of his mother on the nightstand as before.
She lay down on the bed in a supine position and used her hands as a pillow. Her gaze was straight on the roof of her clean white room. She smiled to herself as she imagined the first time he met Gressylia, playing with Rana and Rina.
Until finally the tears flowed again when she saw the face of Rana who opposed King Carlin a few moments ago because of the fraud committed by Prince Cardwell. Her face showed anger, but what could a child like that have? She couldn't do anything for his brother.
"I'm sorry Rana, Rina," whispered Princess Cerllynda, wiping her tears.
He pulled one hand over her face. Sge closed her eyes behind her hands, to calm this feeling.
***
While in the countryside there. Not far from a rickety hut sat a young man alone under a shady tree on the side of the lake. His gaze blankly stared at the lake water that moved slowly and calmly.
Meanwhile, not far from him were also two little girls who were busy catching fish for lunch. Every now and then they stopped and were silent to see the young man who just stood still without doing anything.
"I really don't accept that all this happened to Brother Gress," said Rana, still annoyed with King Carlin, who for him was very annoying and arrogant.
"That's right Rana. I also hate Princess Cerllynda a little. She is the one who made Brother Gress like that. Previously, Brother Gress was fine. He always smiled happily, he was very happy even though our lives were like this. But, after everything that happened he often daydreaming alone. I can't accept this," said Rina, who spoke her heart out.
"Ah never mind, after this we have to cheer up Brother Gress so she can smile again like before. Let's get lots of fish!" said Rana ending their conversation to get back to fishing. Moreover, his stomach was already begging for food.
"Let me light a fire okay!" said Rina who nodded back okay Rana.
She moved away from the lake water. Take some firewood that is next to her house. She started a fire to burn the fish she caught. While Rana ended catching fish, she had got five enough fish. Right now the little girl was busy cleaning the fish.
"Here! Let's burn!" said Rana giving some of the fish to Rana.
Both of them were busy burning the fish until they were cooked. The two of them ran towards Gressylia who was still conjoined without moving at all.
"Brother Gress! The fish is cooked! Let's eat!" exclaimed Rana and Rina at the same time. However, the summoned remained silent as if not hearing their voices.
Rana and Rina exchanged glances. They felt very sorry to see his brother like that. Rana slowly moved his tiny hand to touch Gressylia's shoulder.
"Brother Gress," called Rana slowly. Gressylia finally turned around and smiled at the two sisters.
"What is it Rana, Rina?" Gressylia asked her two sisters who were looking at her with a sad face.
"You keep daydreaming. We've already grilled fish, the fish must be delicious. Today we got big fish. Come on Sis!" Rina said while pulling Gressylia's body to sit on the mat. There food was prepared.
