Faithful Hope  by paicikus2504

      In a continent named Otopia there were 2 countries that had the power to rule the continent, the Zerkh Country and the Triga Country. The two countries were always  incompatible and even waged war. 10 years ago, Orphie, the daughter of the Triga country, always played together with Shiiva, a commoner. However Shiiva was often bullied by children around because he's weak. Orphie was the one who always helped Shiiva from these naughty children. Because she's worried about Shiiva, Orphie promised to Shiiva that she will always accompany him and help him when Shiiva's experiencing difficulties. The following month, Shiiva went to leave Orphie without saying goodbye. Orphie then looked for him, she couldn't find him but she was sure that some time in the future she can meet Shiiva again.

      10 years have passed since Shiiva went from Triga Country. Orphie grew up as a princess that was tomboy and likes to fight. For 10 years, she has sharpened her strength in order to be able to find Shiiva. Afterwards, the attendant of Orphie came rushed. She said that Shiiva was found. Orphie who missed Shiiva did not want to wait. She ran to change her clothes and make preparations to head to Shiiva's place even before her attendant informed Shiiva's place. Suddenly, Orphie's father called the royal guards to bring Orphie to speak to him. The king said that on that day, talks for peace will be held in the Zerkh Country, so Orphie must go along there. Orphie refused, but after being informed that Shiiva was in Zerkh, Orphie then decided to come along.

      After ariving there, Orphie saw the situation around the Zerkh country, but he could not find Shiiva's existence. They then arrived at the Zerkh palace. Zerkh was no longer ruled by a king, but the king's daughter named Shaira. King Triga was asked by Shaira to go to the meeting room to discuss about peace between the two countries. Orphie was told to wait for a moment there and she was permitted to go around the palace. Orphie then planned to look for Shiiva. She went to the surrounding corners of the palace. The last place that she had not looked yet was the flower garden in front of the palace. There, he saw a person that she felt familiar with, that looked like Shiiva. Orphie with happiness, ran towards him. However apparently, the person did not recognise her. Afterwards, Orphie saw his father who was dragged outside the palace by the Zerkh palace guards. Shaira told the guards to arrest Orphie as a prisoner. Orphie will be released if the Triga country submit against the Zerkh country. Orphie shouted the Shiiva name repeatedly, however Shiiva did not care. Orphie was carried to the prison. She was guarded by several guards. Then, Orphie heard the gossip of the guards. She then learned that Shiiva was the country's prince (the brother from Shaira). He also heard that the Shiiva's behaviour began to change after the death of the king and the queen as well as he was enslaved by Shaira. After hearing this news, Orphie prepared to bolt from the prison. And when the guards were careless, Orphie bolted and ran to meet Shiiva. She met Shaira in the trip to look for Shiiva. Shaira said that Shiiva imprisoned himself in the tower of the kingdom and did not want to meet Orphie. Orphie of course did not trust Shaira's words and hurried to help Shiiva. Shaira placed many traps and the defences in the tower.

However, because Orphie has experience in fighting, she succeeded in passing various obstacles and succeded to arrive at the highest floor of the tower. On that floor she found a door that was locked and was guarded by Shaira. After overcoming Shaira, Orphie took the key and opened the door. The door was closed automatically and there she saw Shiiva. Shiiva explained all that happened and said that all of that was only a scenario that was feigned. Talks concerning peace has been finished the previous day and talks this time was only the play that was helped by Shaira and Orphie's father to reunite Orphie with Shiiva but also to know whether Orphie still remembered about the promise she made that she will always help Shiiva when there are difficulties. Orphie who was annoyed at the same time was happy then promised that she will always accompany Shiiva again and the two of them will then live happily.
