Prince Elio
I Remember You Mother

Walls built using marble in line with the floor, lighting that looks luxurious, and shades of brown add a beautiful impression in the dining room of Corvus Palace.

Routines that every day and every morning are always done together, namely breakfast. Maverick's grandfather, King Aiden and Prince Elio gathered at the same dining table to eat a variety of foods that had been provided by the palace servants.

“Today's schedule relax right?” ask King Aiden

“True father” replied Prince Elio

“What do you want to do?” ask King Aiden

“Not knowing, I was confused what I should be today. Maybe I'll spend some time in the forest.” Prince Elio said

“Do what you like and visit your other friends. We are brothers, we are bound by a great promise. That's the reason dad is good friends with all the kings of the top 7 scope at the moment.” said King Aiden

“Ya... someday I will be like father” replied Prince Elio

“Don't be shy to discuss and tell your grandfather or father.” Maverick's grandfather said

“Yes yes grandfather, you have said that more than 10 times to me” Prince Elio said with an annoyed look

maverick's grandfather laughed at Prince Elio's reply plus his regretful expression.

“Grandfather just wants to know if you're going to tell him about the woman you like later. That's what grandpa meant” Maverick's grandfather said

“Kakek... I have not yet reached such a stage. I still want to enjoy my youth” Prince Elio said

“Love-filled youth is fun”, said Maverick's grandfather

“Grandpa misses youth?” ask Prince Elio

“Iya, grandpa misses grandpa's youth. Seeing you is quite satisfied considering the time of young grandfather first.” replied Maverick grandfather.

“I'll tell you everything I felt when I met the woman I liked, to grandfather. How?” much

“You promised grandpa?” ask Maverick's grandfather enthusiastically

“I promise grandpa” said Prince Elio

Prince Elio put down his cutlery, cleaned his mouth then he stood up from his chair doing homage to King Aiden and Maverick's grandfather.

“I'm done, so I'll get out first.” Prince Elio

King Aiden and Grandpa Maverick nodded and smiled, Prince Elio went straight out of the dining room and met the young horse but he was a little emotional.

Prince Elio smiled and stroked the neck of this emotionally brown horse, some of the nurses who fed this horse claimed to be bitten several times when they wanted to feed.

So, not all horse guards take care of this horse. Prince Elio also rarely uses it other than being banned for fear of harm he also wants to wait for this horse to be tame at least 70%.

“Quiet... I'm your owner, I'm Prince Elio. We're gonna be good friends, aren't we? I'm not endangering you, I promise to take care of you and take care of you, so be good to me. Yes Guston?” prince Elio said gently as he tried to feed her with his own hands.

Guston, finally received the food offered by Prince Elio, he could be calm for a moment because of the caress that Prince Elio did. At least Guston calmed down before being invited to play.

Guston is a dark brown horse whose body is tall, large and stocky. Maybe Guston could be tame if his owner could be in tune with Guston's atmosphere.

Prince Elio took him out of the stable, unattended and unattended Prince Elio rode Guston in the racetrack for several laps.

Then, there was a loud applause coming from the east, Prince Elio immediately turned his head and saw the presence of Princess Quely.

“You look gallant with that horse. What's-her-name? He's a stallion, isn't he?” ask Princess Quely while putting on her pretty face.

Prince Elio clucked, he crossed his arms and looked at Princess Quely with a flat gaze.

“Why? You want to take her? He is not tame with women, that's enough information for you I think.” said Prince Elio

“Where will the stallion be happy if the owner is a woman, you underestimate me huh? Let me show you” Princess Quely

Princess Quely walks into the racetrack, Prince Elio just waiting for what will happen to his cousin. He had already given the information that could be taken into consideration but Princess Quely was pushy.

Princess Quely immediately approached and stroked Guston's neck but what happened was that Guston turned his head and was about to bite Princess Quely's hand. Spontaneous Princess Quely distanced her hands and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Why he's evil” Princess Quely said

“I told you, he's not tame with women. Don't complain to the king and say it's my fault? It's your own fault” oceh Prince Elio

“Let him in the cage” Princess Quely said

“Why? I was playing with him. Why are you here anyway?” ask Prince Elio

“Hei handsome! I'm here to see your pet, Igr.” said Princess Quely

“Igr? Why do you want to meet?” ask Prince Elio

“Don't know, but he looks so cool once” Princess Quely replied

“If meet him, what will you do?” ask Prince Elio

“Only good friends with him. Oi! You think you're the only one who can be friends with a wild animal? I also want to know” said Princess Quely with a pouty face.

“Ask the Kings of Harris” said Prince Elio

“Dad won't allow me” replied Princess Quely

“Inviting Igr is not that easy, I need bait. He doesn't instantly show up that easy.” Prince Elio

“So why are you confused? We can hunt” replied Princess Quely

“You'll make me bait, how?” ask Prince Elio

“No! Are you sick? How can I be made a bait?” asked Princess Quely in annoyance

“Honestly, Igr appears faster when the bait is human. Evidently when you first came there” said Prince Elio

“Who wants to be the bait? Nothing, you'll just” Princess Quely said

“You want to meet so you have to show up first. Why me?” oceh Prince Elio

“So, I'll say hello to Maverick's grandfather in advance” said Princess Quely directly left Prince Elio

“You seen Guston? He is indeed stubborn like that” Prince Elio said on his horse

“Alright, it looks like you really need to get into the cage. Tomorrow we play again.” Prince Elio

He rode straight on Guston to get inside his cage and get out of there.

Prince Elio went straight into the palace and turned to get to the roof of the highest palace. Today he is free of royal schedule, King Aiden set a policy so that Prince Elio is not too tired with all the activities of the kingdom owned.

“How are you, mom? If you're alive and right next to me, what are we doing right now? Are we going to race horses? Archery or what? Ma'am... I think you need a companion, but he refused because you're the first and last love you can't replace. That's what dad said when I accidentally heard him.” murmured Prince Elio while looking at the sky.

“How lucky you are mom, dad is a loyal man who loves you very much and is sincere with you. I want to know what kind of father you are, I want to know about you through your judgment. But I was unlucky to listen to that. How about I visit you, mother? You don't mind, do you?” Prince Elio stood up from his seat.

Then entering the palace, Prince Elio picked flowers planted in the backyard of the palace. Then he took her to her mother's grave—Queen Carla.

“Dad?” prince Elio muttered when he saw his father crying beside the pile of dirt.

(Dad is the same mother, it must have felt very sick and hit when the very person you love leaves him for good) the inner Prince Elio.

Prince Elio ventured to approach his father, but when he was left 3 steps closer. King Aiden stood up from his sitting position and turned his body, he was surprised when Prince Elio was already in front of him and saw the condition of his eyes reddened and shed tears.

“Elio? You came to see your mother, didn't you? Meet him, he must miss you so much.” Said King Aiden

King Aiden smiled, his watery and reddened eyes narrowed into a beautiful sight to be stared at the very she smiled. King Aiden walked past Prince Elio and patted his son's shoulder once.

“Daddy” call Prince Elio

King Aiden was silent in his place, he was waiting for what his son would say at this moment.

“Elio knows you feel devastated seeing your mother's grave, Elio knows you love your mother. If you feel lonely and need a friend, Elio is always there for you at any time. Don't feel all this sadness on your own, the blood of your mother and father flows in Elio's body. Elio also deserves to feel what dad feels.” Prince Elio

King Aiden turned his body around, smiled again and then approached Prince Elio and embraced the child affectionately.

“You know, I didn't dare look you in the face for too long. I felt scared. I failed to be your father because I did not protect your mother at that time. Your face reminds me of your mother. You inherited a lot from your mother compared to you. That's the reason I don't dare to stare at you for too long because I always feel sad remembering your mother.”.

“Thank you son, you've been a good boy to dad. You've grown up and become a good prince for the Kingdom of Corvus. Thank you for offering to share the sadness, I just want you not to be sad, but it turns out King Aiden's papar is interrupted by his arms with Prince Elio

King Aiden shed another tear and he wiped it off immediately before releasing this hug with his son.

“Dad... Mother will not be calm if father is always sad, mother also wants father happy not sad like this.” Prince Elio let go of his embrace and held both of King Aiden's shoulders while looking into his eyes.

“Dad, look at me. You see the figure of mother on my face, isn't that already the antidote to your longing? Hug me when you want to hug mom, don't hesitate dad.” Prince Elio

Prince Elio turned to hold his father's hand and raised it to the front of the face, strengthened the grip and smiled.

“From now on, I don't have to cry anymore. We should be happy and happy now. Isn't that what you want from us?” Prince Elio

King Aiden smiled, his right hand reaching for the hand link with his son.

“Alright, we must be happy. Promise me not to cry behind my dad because of your mom?” King Aiden

“Please promise not to win this burden of grief alone?” sahut Prince Elio

“Appointment!” king Aiden and Prince Elio.

“Alright, dad still has to take care of something. You just continue what you want to do now. Princess Quely keeps babbling because you don't want to ask her to play.” Said King Aiden

“He was always like that a long time ago, just ignore” Prince Elio said

“He's your cousin, if he's ignored he'll cry like he used to. You remind?” King Aiden

“Yaa~ how else? That's what it is.” Answer Prince Elio

“You should be familiar. Yes already, dad left first.” Said King Aiden

Prince Elio nodded his head and King Aiden left Prince Elio.

Prince Elio stepped closer to Queen Carla's grave, then he placed the flower on a pile of dirt and kissed her mother's headstone.

“Mother, I'm here. Did you see what just happened to me and Dad? All this time I must have made you not calm because you always cry here, right? But I promised not to be sad like that. Mother don't worry, I'll protect you even if my life is at stake. Mom's okay there? I'm sure you're already smiling now looking at your smiling dad again.”.

“I miss you ma'am, I'm not sure if I can get a woman as good as you, who feels unfortunately like you. I want a partner like my mother. Beautiful mother, loving mother, good mother, mother is always there for Elio, mother is also talented even mother can make father fall in love. Elio wants to have a partner like that, can Elio get a woman like that mom? Elio feels like it's just mom... I saw Elio from up there, didn't I? I hope mom is always happy, Elio dear mom.”

Prince Elio hugged his mother's headstone, then he clasped the ground in his hand for her to kiss after it was laid back. Prince Elio stood up from his squatting position.

“See you soon, ma'am.”.

Prince Elio turned his body back into the palace. As she was about to enter the room, Princess Quely immediately blocked the road by standing and stretching out her arms in front of Prince Elio.

“Why?” ask Prince Elio

“My fingers ride horses” said Princess Quely

“You're kidding? You're already a horse-riding expert.” Answer Prince Elio

“My finger, I don't want to be left behind by Princess Kanzia.” Princess Quely

“What's with him?” ask Prince Elio

“You know? Yesterday Princess Kanzia won a riding and archery session, even the title of Princess Eugenie who was champion three times in a row was broken by Princess Kanzia. I also want to win that session for next year, at least once in my life.” Obviously Princess Quely

“Princess Kanzia who won?” prince Elio asked

“Iya right, I also want it to be like that” said Princess Quely

“So?” Prince Elio asked to confirm his cousin's determination.

“Teach me, from now on today and at this hour you must train me to ride. Every Saturday at this hour, I'll be here every Saturday with my horse, how? You agree, handsome?” ask Princess Quely

“Alright, I'll help you.” Prince Elio

“Alright! Thank you my most handsome cousin, you are indeed very kind” Princess Quely said as she hugged Prince Elio at this time.

“Hey, don't be tight. You want to kill me?” prince Elio said as Princess Quely hugged her neck too tightly.

“Hahaha sorry, I'm so happy.” Princess Quely replied.

“If you practice you must be diligent and never truant or hollow. Understood it? If you are truant, hollow, or lazing, I will punish you.” Prince Elio

“Punishment? What like?” ask Princess Quely

“There, it's secret. Move.”

Prince Elio pushed Princess Quely's forehead with his index finger and then he walked into his room and closed the door.

“I'm a guest here, why does he serve guests like this? Huh, that handsome guy has never changed!” princess Quely in front of Prince Elio's room.
