Eleanor stepped out of the cave, trying to be calm. The soldiers approached her, making her start to get nervous. Even though she had agreed to Keith's plan. But still she felt uneasy, afraid that their plan would not go well.
"Your Highness, how is Prince Keith?"
"He's fine, just like the King said, you all should come with us to the palace!"
"What? bu ... but, why Your Highness?"
"Keith is going to look for the divine treasure and you can't go with him. Staying here won't do you any good either. That's why you'd better return to the palace!"
"God's sacred treasure?" they looked at each other, completely clueless about the task they had to do which was to let Keith go in search of the sacred treasure alone.
Seeing them confused and perhaps suspicious, Eleanor headed straight for the carriage. She didn't allow them to think any longer.
"What are you waiting for? let's go!"
"Well, Your Majesty!"
Full of questions, those w
Nathania ran as Samuel had instructed, although she didn't hide and preferred to face Grandma Lori. But of course, Samuel wouldn't let her do that."Aaaaggghhh ..." Grandma Lori screamed while swinging her ax right behind Samuel.Samuel who had realized that the old woman was about to attack him immediately pulled out his sword to fend off Granny Lori's rampaging attack."Stop ...!" Nathania shouted."Praaang ..."The sound of metal clashing was very loud. Seeing the face of a familiar youth, Grandma Lori fell silent. Her mouth fell open, shocked at what she had just done. Especially when her eyes fell on Nathania who was standing with a pale face, she felt very confused."Yo ... you guys, what are you guys doing?" her body shivered. She fell limp, the ax in her hand slipped from her grip.Nathania was really scared when the ax almost hit Samuel's neck. She almost saw Samuel die before her eyes before she could do anything. She felt s
"Jim ... Jim ..."The woman screamed hysterically towards the place where her beloved son would receive punishment for a mistake he never committed. The woman stumbled, as her feet covered in mud and blood stepped on a rock. She fell down, but she could no longer feel the pain. There was only a wound in her heart to see the son she gave birth to and raised had to face the injustice of those who claim to be enforcers of justice."Jim ... what happened to you?" her wrinkled face was wet with tears. Her eyes that began to dim could not be separated from the figure of her son who was standing on the stage with her hands tied.Her body and face were full of wounds, from small stones that were continuously thrown at her. Jim was helpless, he was limp because of the continuous blood coming out of the wounds on the seven. The look in his eyes clearly showed the pain in his heart, but his mouth was speechless.
Sapphire Palace, Lithonia Kingdom"His Highness Prince Nathan and Prince Samuel have returned, Your Majesty!" said a soldier who led Nathania and Samuel to face the King.Nathania looked restless, she was sure that she and Samuel would be punished for what they had done, leaving the palace without asking permission first. Even though they didn't bring the medicine they wanted, thanks to their visit to Grandma Lori Ronson's house, they learned a very painful truth.In front of the King, Nathania and Samuel stood tall. Although a little nervous, she still tried to be calm. Meanwhile, Samuel was silent with a very cold look in his eyes. From time to time Nathania glanced at Samuel who was standing beside her, it was clear from the look on his face that he was still thinking about the conversation between Commander Gavin and Grandma Lori Ronson."How? did you finally find what you were looking for?" asked the King. His voice was deep, but much calmer than Nat
Samuel's eyes bulged at the two people he knew very well standing opposite each other. His soul was shaken after witnessing firsthand that everything he suspected had been proven. But apparently, Samuel wasn't the only one who felt so shocked, his mother who had been caught red-handed in place, transfixed with a frozen body. As for Nathania, she couldn't deny that she was surprised by Samuel's presence. But because she feeling that she didn't do anything to make Samuel angry, she tried to remain calm. "Sa ... Samuel? Since when did you ..." Lady Valerie stuttered, facing her son who was staring at her coldly. "I see now, it seems you really are a bastard who doesn't understand boundaries. That's why I hate you so much!" "Really? If it comes to ..." the attack of pain hit her head again. Nathania was silent, she couldn't continue her words. Seeing her suddenly silent, made Samuel think that Nathania was a very disgusting person. Lady Valerie se
"I come, Your Majesty!" said Commander Nile Robinson who immediately came to see the King after the earthquake had stopped.The whole city was in panic, moreover it seemed that the earthquake was not the only thing that happened, but rather a thick fog began to come and cover the sky. This was no ordinary earthquake, King Roderick could guess."Welcome, Commander Robinson. Do you have any idea where the recent earthquake came from?""The troops who are still guarding the border area of the Forbidden Forest saw fog covering the forest area. So, I predict that the earthquake that occurred a while ago has something to do with the fog and now the fog is starting to reach the city, Your Majesty!""Fog, huh? If the fog is coming from the forbidden forest, it's most likely caused by the eruption of the volcano in the Gorevmenos Forest. If that's the case, there's a chance that aftershocks will come soon.""I also think so, Your Majesty. Considering that
Nathania was scared, she couldn't sleep for three days after the earthquake happened. Until now, earthquakes still keep coming even though the strength is not great. But it was enough to make everyone feel panicked.In the midst of panic, Nathania chose to lock herself in her room. Her soul was shaken, she was enveloped in a guilt that made her unable to calm down."Aiden, what is she doing now? Is this all because I never came back to fulfill my promise to him? what should I do?" she thought. Her tears continued to flow, she was too afraid to look at the faces of others who felt the pain for her actions.Nathania thought hard, if this was Aiden's doing. What is the purpose of doing all this? was it because he was starting to lose control? if true, there is possibility that Diavolos wants to completely take over Aiden's body and resurrect the demons confined in the ground to exterminate all of humanity."Knock...knock...knock..."Nathania snapped o
"Want to go home? where?" asked Nathania. She looked surprised when Kenneth expressed his wish.Seeing this attitude, Kenneth couldn't help but smile. He knew Nathania was worried about him, but as a child who still had parents, Kenneth had a responsibility to take care of his parents. Especially since he working as a teacher for a crown prince, he never had the chance to return to his hometown."To my parents' house, I haven't been home in a long time. I miss them so much.""Oh, I see?" she said weakly. For some reason, she felt restless for no reason. It was because Kenneth had never asked permission to go home before. It had been six years since Kenneth had been her teacher, they had seen each other almost every day."I'll be back soon after making sure my parents are okay! My father is a farmer and my mother helps him with work. I feel like I really miss my home, where I was born and raised.""You'll be back soon, right?""Of course! I'l
"His Majesty is sick?" Nathania asked after hearing from her mother that her father had fallen ill after trying to quell her anger.Queen Alexandra sighed, she didn't want to blame Nathania for what happened because she was afraid that Nathania couldn't accept it. She looked at her daughter's face full of guilt. That must have made her emotionally unstable."Forget it all!""What?""Forget everything, everything that made you feel hurt and guilt. Forget it!""How can you say that?" she said. Her eyes are teary, she doesn't understand why her mother can never understand her? or in fact she did not understand her mother at all.She always feels trapped in the same guilt dilemma. Fear, insecurity and despair. She felt throughout her life, she was always put in a difficult position."It's not fair ..." her lips trembled, she tried to hold back her tears. Now, how could she face her father who must have been so disappointed in her? how can
Nathania and Keith were silent for a moment, trying to guess what really happened to Aiden. They knew, just because Aiden didn't seem to be chasing them anymore didn't mean they were completely safe. Who will know what will happen next?"Alright, we have no choice but to go in and find out what's really going on!" Keith said. His eyes glanced into the cave which looked very dark from the outside. Yet he had a hunch that they would find answers to the questions that were running through their heads.Seeing Keith's earnestness, Nathania realized that she had to be strong. Even though her little heart still couldn't accept that the sacred treasure had disappeared, she had no choice but to examine it herself."Okay, come on!" She said confidently.They stepped cautiously into the cave, through the eerie darkness. The cave was completely dark as they had expected, but as they stepped further in, a bright blue light began to clearly fill the cave which looked l
"Is it true?" Keith smiled. Seeing Nathania who was so worried about him. Somehow it made him very grateful that he survived.Keith gripped Nathania's hand tightly, the pounding in his chest made him believe that there was still hope for his love to be reciprocated. However, compared to his passionate love, the desire to save the world was much greater, seeing the earnestness in Nathania's eyes.They had been running for 30 minutes and there was no sign of Aiden chasing them. Seeing Nathania's very pale and exhausted face, Keith thought that they should rest, especially since the sky was getting dark."Are you okay?" Keith asked. He stopped in his tracks. Beside him, Nathania was panting with cold sweat running down her body.Nathania nodded, she tried to force herself even though her body was pushing her to give up and rest."I... I'm fine! There's no need to worry!""You're not fine, we should rest now!" Keith pulled her hand towards the r
"Ugh... I can't walk anymore!" Nathania sat limply, after walking through the dense forest to find the cave.She knew from the start that it was impossible to catch up with Aiden, she was too timid to fight him. Although she had intended to use her power. However, considering the risk that would arise from her inability to control her powers, Nathania gave up.Keith had fought, fought with all her might and even sacrificed her own life to get her to this place and now, again she was taking on the role of a useless loser."Hiks ..." tears welled up in her eyes. She hated herself so much. Whenever bad luck happened to her, she would definitely blame herself for having to live by taking on such a huge role like this. Being a savior is not her dream, being a world hero should not be her responsibility. However, she was forced to do all of this."Nathan ... why? why?"Nathania was tight in her chest, the pain she was trying to endure. Nathan's face, Kei
Aiden arrived in front of a large cave. His eyes glanced at the holy scroll he had snatched from Keith and opened it to confirm that he was really in front of the cave where the shrine was."Right, this is the place!" he thought. Aiden stepped slowly into the mouth of the dark cave.When his feet just set foot into the cave, he was greeted by small glowing creatures flying in the cave. The light from their bodies brightened the dark cavern and the blue crystals that filled the walls and ceiling of the cave looked extremely sparkling.Aiden was sure that he was one step away from the divine treasure. Freeing himself from Diavolos' curse, that was his goal. Aiden knew that his mind and soul had been controlled, therefore it was impossible for him to resist Diavolos' wishes."You see? just a step away, that way you can be as free as you want!" he said."Aiden, you are truly amazing! I've been waiting for this moment for so long and only you can make i
Nathania jumped down the cliff by relying on the vines as a handle to keep her from falling."Sraaakkk...""Aaagh..." Her feet slipped on the damp ground. Nathania fell several meters before her feet landed on the ground."Ugh..." She winced as she fell to the ground. This is really bad, her legs are too sore to move. If she didn't find the cave quickly, then Aiden would definitely catch up with her.Nathania got up slowly with pain all over her body. She could not believe that she would dare to jump from up there without a rope or preparation, just relying on the plants and trees around her."Damn, my leg hurts so bad! How is it? If I don't find the cave soon, Aiden will find it first!" She thought. Nathania looked up, trying to watch for any sign of Aiden's presence.She didn't know if Keith was currently still fighting against Aiden and was buying time like he said? however, the outburst made her unsure that Keith would be okay. Nathania
“Do you think I and the other ministers are allowed to hide or run away? You are wrong to think that we are that selfish. It's true, there are so many selfish people who will definitely save themselves, I think it's only natural. If I could, I also wanted to run away and get out of here, getting my family as far away as possible so we could be safe. I don't care if you all have to die to buy time until help arrives. Yes, that's if I become part of the selfish people. But unfortunately, the King asked me and all the ministers, state officials and nobles to stay in our house and not leave our people. The king does not want to sacrifice his people, if someone has to be sacrificed to buy time, then we are the ones! In fact, the king sacrificed the son he loved so much to find the divine treasure alone, all for the safety of everyone. Prince Nathan must be struggling, fighting against enemies who also want the sacred treasure. This morning, the soldiers had prepared with their swords and
Headquarters, Kingdom of Lithonia “An eclipse has appeared, Your Majesty! Will Prince Nathan be able to find the island in time?” asked Advisor William who was standing a row behind the king who was about to begin his speech. In the center of the headquarters field, King Roderick Zafeiri stood in front of thousands of Lithonian soldiers to give enthusiasm and hope to the soldiers and youths who volunteered to join the emergency army considering that they were currentlyo somewhat in the midst of the threat of the rise of the demons. “Good afternoon the proud soldiers of Lithonia! As we all witness together, the solar eclipse has come bringing hope to all mankind. Today, we are faced with so many very tough tests, forcing us to be patient and endure until we can get through them all. Believe that help is drawing near! Never lose hope. Thanks to God being with us, we will definitely win!” Tears
Keith sat in front of the bonfire, keeping watch all night to make sure Nathania could rest for the night. Nathania lay beside him and seemed to be fast asleep. Meanwhile, Aleah who was lying beside Nathania continued to observe Keith. She couldn't sleep, let alone seeing Keith stand guard alone like that. Aleah got up and walked over to Keith, she took a seat beside Keith and sat quietly. Her eyes did not leave Keith, she felt this was a good opportunity to get closer to this young manThe night beforeKeith glanced at Aleah, he knew what women wanted. Even though Aleah just kept quiet and didn't do anything, it still annoyed Keith."What are you doing? why don't you sleep?" asked Keith curtly. His rude and cold attitude only made Aleah even more attracted to him.Aleah shifted her seat position until she was right next to Aiden. She smiled seductively as she puffed out her chest, wishing Keith's ey
The killer whales took them to a small island with tall trees and white sand all around it. "Thank you for helping us! Goodbye!" said Keith. The killer whales swam away after their task was done. "Thank you! See you later...!" Nathania waved her hand. She felt very grateful to them. Their bodies were drenched and their trees had nothing to help them survive this cold night. Keith took off his wet shirt and hung it out on the coconut tree stuff. Aleah who accidentally saw Keith's beautiful body, felt very embarrassed, but on the one hand, she felt very grateful to Keith and also Nathania for helping her so far. "Tha ... thank you so much! I really don't know what will happen to me if you don't help me!" She said. She smiled happily and her eyes immediately fell on Keith who wasn't too interested in her. "You don't need to thank's. Right, Keith?" Na
