Promise

King Zylian tries to explain to Clara what happened with Zara and him yesterday. Zylian told that he was drunk and Zara took him to the hotel because if Zara take him to the palace, might be they will be caught by reporters. But Zylian didn't know if Zara have a purpose and taking their picture. Zylian said that he and Zara just slept together but didn't do anything over that.

"I remember that I just slept, Please believe me, Clara! I didn't do anything"

"Do you love me?" asked Clara.

Not easy for Zylian to answer questions about love, because he still have Zara in his heart. Actually, he also has feelings for Clara. But he doesn't know what kind of feeling. Is it love? Or just because Clara is a nice person, so he pushed to love her because he need Clara to be the empress. He thinks that his feeling for Clara is not love because he still can't move on from Zara.

But Zylian knows that he needs to keep this marriage, however, he doesn't have a kind feeling like love for his wife. He just ended the conversation by saying that he is love Clara.

"Please, believe me. There is no woman in my life. I just think how to make this country always prosperous, I don't think about another matter", explained the King.

Clara just ended the conversation and agree to forgive him.

In the next day, Zara sent a letter to Zylian. She asked Zylian to have dinner with her. But Zylian just replies with a rejection of Zara's invitation because the current situation is still not good for them after their rumor showed up by the paparazi. Zylian thinks that many reporters will follow him everywhere. It will be bad news if he is caught by the paparazzi when he meets Zara for dinner.

"Andrew, please send this letter to Zara"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

After Andrew left the King's study. Zylian saw the window. He remembers yesterday when Clara was dancing in the rain. He walked to the window and saw the palace garden. He wanted to check whether his wife will come to the garden or not, and he saw the empress.

"Clara, what are you doing right now?"

Zylian thought that Clara was still depressed because of the rumor. He went to the garden immediately.

"Clara", shouted the king.

Clara looked at him and then smile.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?", asked Clara.

"No, I just walking and see you here, how about you?"

"I am picking these roses, I will keep them in your study"

"Ah, thanks but you don't rush, I think it better you take a rest today"

"Don't worry, I am Okay"

Then Zylian takes Clara's hand, and he accompanies Clara walking in the palace garden. Clara seems happy.

"Clara, I just want you to promise, please stand by my side"

"I stay with you if you love me", said Clara.

King Zylian has realized that Clara knows about his feeling for her. Zylian was never shown that he loves Clara. But he just cut the conversation, then he takes Clara to the queen's palace.

King and Queen seem that they are in good condition. They are going to travel around the world for some work. One of the countries that they will visit is the Rovoland Kingdom. But Zylian and Clara never know that Zara has planning to meet Zylian in the Rovoland Kingdom.

Zara arrived in the Rovoland Kingdom 3 days after Zylian and Clara. She sent flowers to Zylian. When Zylian and Clara just arrived at a royal hotel, the hotel staff went to Zylian and give the flowers.

"I am sorry my king, this is for you"

"Who is the sender?"

"There is no name but I think there is a letter from the sender"

"Ok, thanks"

Clara looked disappointed. She knows that her husband has been seduced by someone. But Zylian tried to make her calm.

"I have received so many flowers in my life. But the special flowers are only from my queen", said the king.

Clara just smile but her feeling was so bad.

Clara just entered her bedroom, why did Zylian check a letter from the sender of the flowers. Then he read the letter.

[ Dear Zylian, I miss you so much, can you give me just 15 minutes? I just wanna see your face. I will wait for you at Orano Restaurant at 8 pm. From your forever lover. Zara ]

Zylian looked depressed. He knows that he should be don't make communicate again with Zara. But he can not refuse Zara's invitation, because Zylian also misses her too.

Then Zylian decided to meet Zara. But he commits, tonight will be the last time for him and Zara. Zylian will end his relationship with Zara.

At 7.30 PM Zylian went to Orano Restaurant with his assistant, while Clara just relax in the hotel. Clara tries the massage that provides by the hotel.

"What do you feel, ma'am?"

"Hmm I am so relaxing, thank you very much"

Clara back to her room, and she found a letter from her husband.

[ My daring wife, I just out of the room to meet my colleague. I will be back so late, you can sleep, don't wait for me ]

"Colleague?"

But Clara doesn't want to think about it again. Now she wants to believe in her husband.

Zylian just entered the restaurant. There is Zara who is already sitting waiting for him. Zylian asked her assistant to leave him. Then Zylian went to meet Zara.

Zara came to hug Zylian.

"I miss you Zyl"

But Zylian feels uncomfortable. However, there are only Zylian and Zara visit the restaurant.

"Zara, please, don't do like this", said Zylian.

"Why? I booked this restaurant only for us, you don't need to be worried".

Zylian said that he want to end his relationship with Zara. Because he will never be with Zara.

"You can find another good man, and let's be happy", said Zylian.

"No! No Zyl, I don't want another man! I only love you, forever!"

"Why? Why Zyl? Don't stop loving me"
