Closest Person's Motivation

Hosh, who initially felt inferior, started to get up again. After getting the blessing of their grandparents, they all headed towards the Zenith clan. In two days the wedding will take place. The royal entourage, deliberately prepared to pick them all up. Using a car accompanied by horsemen, grandfather, grandmother and Hosh left their clan.

The five hour journey was tensely traveled by Hosh. He couldn't even close his eyes let alone fall asleep. He was so worried how everyone would welcome him there. Hosh heard that important guests from the other two clans would also be leaving tonight. The king wanted to formally introduce himself as a future son-in-law before he actually married.

No matter how hard Hosh tried, he still couldn't cover up the rashes on his body and face. He also couldn't hide the disfigurement on his hands and feet. He felt very insecure and wanted to just die. Especially after their entourage began to enter the palace area of ​​the Zenith clan which was very, very magnificent.

Several maids were already standing to greet them all at the palace. A maid ushered the three of them into the guest room which had already been prepared. Hosh and his family could only stare in awe at all the interior designs in the palace. Where the dominant colors of ivory and gold dazzle the eyes.

Hosh can't deny, eyes are the window to the heart. He could see how many of the maids looked shocked and in disbelief. While others seem disgusted and uncomfortable with his condition. Although their lips smiled kindly. Hosh could only follow where the waiter who turned out to be the butler was walking.

Shows two rooms facing each other where one is for him and one for grandparents. The two of them were still kind enough to accompany Hosh and make sure his grandson was resting comfortably.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the royal dinner will start in two hours. You guys can clean up and get ready then I'll pick you up again and walk you to the dining area. Clean and tidy clothes are provided in the wardrobe. A make-up artist will come for madam in an hour. King Alaric will meet you there,” said the butler politely.

The dinner felt more like a test of the guts for Hosh. He was already wearing the clothes that were provided in the wardrobe. A white shirt with a black vest and brooch around the neck. It's luxurious, but it can't cover up his condition that he still has to walk with a cane.

Once inside the dining area which to Hosh looked more like a hall due to its fantastic size, the man immediately saw dozens of eyes staring at him. It turned out that the leaders of the other clans were also there. Uncle Abraham who was the leader of the Crosby clan was there with his wife Maria.

Hosh also saw Professor Luke and his wife Liana and their son Lionel who was none other than Wilona's lover. Not just any guy because he was the head of the main research lab in the Lazarus clan. Also there, Mr. Edison was accompanied by his wife Emma and their son Emillio. The man who is rumored to have the best security base in the whole country and also has extraordinary fighting skills.

Hosh could only gulp his spit and sat there accompanied by his grandparents. He could also see King Alaric accompanied by a total of three concubines and Princess Wilona who was looking at him with obvious hatred. One of the three concubines is Xylia who is the mother of Wilona. There were also his second and third concubines, Yuffie and Xivana.

“You may have heard of it. I have dedicated this dinner to welcome my future son-in-law who will marry Princess Wilona in two days. A great man named Hosh who is willing to leave his personal affairs behind to save Wilona. I heard the pros and cons going on all over the country. How people insulted his appearance and physical condition. Therefore, I am happy that he is still here to marry my daughter," said the king, making more and more people disbelief.

“King Alaric, forgive my impudence and allow me to interrupt. That man, Hosh, may indeed have saved Princess Wilona, ​​but have you asked the princess' direct opinion? Did she accept it? Yes, I really understand that this is your authority, but… isn't it Princess Wilona who will be married later?” asked Professor Luke.

"Let's think about it together. I already made the contest. I've given everyone the same opportunity to try to save Wilona. Even before I announced it, I asked your son specifically to try to find her. No result. Whoever it was, to no avail. But he, the man who came by accident, actually found Wilona and managed to take her out.” King Alaric made a statement.

"So for me, that has become a very, very clear proof that the two of them are destined to meet. There is no more reason for me not to marry them. Both have been made for each other. I will keep my promise to marry Princess Wilona to whoever finds her. Love will come because you are used to it. So is the healing that will come with medication.” King Alaric concluded his statement.

Dinner ended, replaced by a small royal feast. Where everyone dances and laughs except for a few. Hosh chose to isolate himself. Take a glass of drink to the balcony. The problem was just about to step with his cane, he heard an argument there.

"Lionel, I don't want to know. You must save me. Take me away. Take me away from here.”

“Wilona, ​​I totally understand. I also do not accept you marrying a sick man like that. The problem is not that simple. If your father finds out, we will both die.”

“Are you willing to let me marry him? Are you more afraid of my father's punishment than saving me?” asked Wilona so pleadingly.

“Wilona, ​​you have to calm down. We must not be careless. We have to think through all the steps well.” Lionel is still trying to calm down.

"Lion, don't take too long. I love you and I only love you." Wilona whined again.

“Ah, well. I seem to have found a way.”

"In what way?" Wilona asked desperately and Hosh didn't hear what happened next.
