Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 123

After 15 hours of travel, in the evening, the King and the Queen of Dream Land arrived at their palace along with a carriage carrying the remains of the first princess, Princess Mia.

As soon as they entered the palace fence, all the citizens of Dream Land who had been waiting there since morning now stood holding white flags while crying looking at the coffin that was in the carriage.

The sound of crying and howling was heard here and there. Making Jieun who was in the other carriage also started crying again in silence. She has already become so close with the princess and even always spends time together at the palace since she married Eun-Woo.

She can’t believe that Mia is really gone now. It feels like time is passing so fast. Even the girl died because trying to save her. The events of that day were repeated in her eyes. Her heart began to shrink with anger.

Remembering Mia’s face that was in excruciating pain really made Jieun feel uneasy. It’s not her fault, but she can’t help feeling guilty even a little.

Unconsciously the hidden cry was now heard inside the carriage. She closed her mouth there with her left hand so that the sound of her cries was not so loud and she shifted her face to look out the window. Because in there, it’s not only her and Eun-Woo, but Haru and Syaoran are also in the same carriage and now steal a glance at her. While Leo accompanies Ethan in another carriage.

Without even care of his siblings who looked on, Eun-Woo, who was sit next to Jieun knew exactly what was playing in his wife’s mind and heart. He immediately pulled Jieun into his arms to give her the comfort that she needed.

Jieun also continued to bury her face into the man’s chest so that the other princes did not see her who was crying. And she started crying harder, making Eun-Woo’s clothes wet there. He didn’t even care about that.

After a while, arriving just in front of the main door of the palace, all including King Liam and Queen Anna got down from their respective carriages and stood outside. All waiting for Ethan to push Mia’s coffin inside first.

Prince Ray, who was waiting, found it difficult to accept the fact when he saw for himself that the coffin was there, in front of him. No, he needs to see her face first to confirm it. He can’t face the reality yet.

All of the other princes except Ray, who was still shocked, lowered the coffin from the carriage and after it reach the ground, Ethan started pushing the coffin inside. Towards the hall that has already been prepared for the purpose of the funeral.

The coffin was placed in front of the hall, which is now decorated with white roses, which happened to be the girl’s favorite flower during her life. Also, hundreds of candles were lit there as if to soothe the feelings of anyone who looked.

King Liam, Queen Anna, King Arthur, Queen Lucy, Princess Lia, Princess Jieun and all the princes did not rest at all and now sitting inside the hall to pay their last respects.

Ethan didn’t even talk since last night. And after the coffin was in its proper place he just stood without any feeling there. Looking at the close coffin.

Adele, who also followed the group to Dream Land, helping to arrange the funeral at the request of King Arthur, also with the permission of King Liam. She  began to open the coffin while saying something that no one understood the language.

Ethan now looked at all of Mia’s face. That looks calm lying there. He felt as if half his life was taken away at this very time, no tears were present in his eyes, but everyone who was there could know that he was the saddest and most grieving in there.

Out of the blue,

There was a commotion outside the palace and one of the palace guards started running inside the hall to convey to King Liam what was going on.

“Your Highness, King Angus brings many troops and weapons in front of the palace and scares the people who are outside. He keeps screaming asking to start a war.”

King Liam’s face turned sour there. He did not think that Angus would behave like that while many innocent people were outside. Quickly he ran out to try to calm things down before it got worse.

“Ask our army to be prepared for any eventuality and part of the army should control the people who are outside and bring them in the backyard of the palace towards a safe place.” King Liam while directing the palace guard who also ran with him at that time.

“Where is Liam?! Has he shrunk his stomach for breaking the agreement so that there shouldn’t be any scratches that should have been on my daughter. And what is this? Why did he let Mia die like this. I will never forgive him! Lets all die here today! ” King Angus who was on horseback wielding his sword said angrily.

While his wife, Queen Maya, and his other children were in the back row once crying there. They don’t agree with King Angus’ way and actually want to see Mia’s body quickly, but no one can stop his temper. So, here’s what happened.

“Stop this Angus!” King Liam stood in the middle of the street without any weapons as he had no intention of fighting the man.

“Didn’t you see there’s a lot of innocent people out here who came because they wanted to pay their last respects to Mia. Didn’t you see how high your daughter’s position is here?  Are you wanted to ruin it?”

Angus looked around at the face that now showed sadness for his daughter.

“Do you think I care about that? All that I know is my daughter is already dead and I want your head in exchange!”

King Angus wanted to order his army to march forward, but Prince Ethan, who was now out in the crowd, walking past King Liam and standing between them before he knelt there, in front of his father -in -law.  His eyes looking on the ground didn’t want to stare at the old man’s face.

“King Liam is not guilty in this. I’m the one that is guilty. I’m the one that didn’t manage to protect Mia. I’m too late to save her. I’m too late with everything. I’m willing to accept anything. The punishment you will give. Even death. ”

King Angus bit his lip there. Reminding about his daughter that loved this man too much, made his heart feel tormented.

“Do you think I won’t do that? I want your head more than anyone else now.”

“No!” Queen Maya’s voice was heard there trying to stop her husband’s actions.

But, King Angus still ordered his army to shoot arrows right at the third prince. Thousands of arrows are now fired at Ethan, and he only closes his eyes there, accepting his fate.

Screams were heard from the people who were still there because they were afraid to see the situation.

“Sandbox!”

Leo in fast was in front of Ethan and used his power there to block all of the attack. Around him and Ethan now cover with a wall of sand dodging the arrows, but the attack still continues.

“Windstorm!”

Eun-Woo uses his wind power there to let out a strong blue wind and reversed the attack on King Angus and his army but before the arrow reached them,

“Shield!” Syaoran with Eun-Woo’s instructions, call for his earthly power and make a bark tree to shield King Angus and their army there.  So no one is hurting.

All of the princes stood in front of Ethan now. Protect her.

“We shouldn’t fight, especially on this day, King Angus. Mia won’t be happy with that.  You also know it.” Prince Ray said there.

“I don’t care! I made up my mind to take his life now and if you all don’t budge, then you all will receive the same fate.” Once again King Angus wanted to direct his army to shoot the arrow again, and this time together with a gun.

“Wait!” Jieun ran into the middle of the battle bravely, and King Angus, who saw the girl who looked like his daughter age, directing his army to stop attacking but unfortunately one of the arrows came off and penetrated her shoulder.

“Ah!”  Jieun moan of pain there, and stop on her track for a while.  But after a few second, she, ignoring her pain, continue walking towards King Angus as her blood drips little by little on the ground.

All of the princes did not have time to do anything because they were stunned by Jieun bold move to run into the battle.

Seeing Jieun is now hurting Eun-Woo wanted to come closer to her, but being stopped by Ray.

“Wait..” He said as he wanted to know what Jieun wanted to do.
