Al came out of the castle while carrying Iki's body, which was already very weak. Al immediately approached Ika who was standing anxiously waiting for anyone to arrive.
"Iki!" shouted Ika when she saw her twin in such a state.
"Are you okay?" Iki answered with a nod.
"Where's Sis Diana, Al?" Ika asked with a worried face.
"Inside, together with Rai," replied Al.
***
Kevin didn't flinch in his place, he didn't understand at all with what this woman tried to say, she even blocked his way, or rather Kevin didn't want to understand or acknowledge this woman's act.
Kevin knew that this woman intended to make Pine a representative for Haltz, but this meant Diana sacrificed herself. This is the thing Kevin doesn't understand the most. He didn't even know her, and now this human was trying to save Pine.
"What are you saying!?" said Rai angrily.
Diana looked at Rai and gave a
Pine looked closely at Diana's face, her face was blurry and she even had to feel her face. "Who's she?" she thought."Like Ika and Iki, I also really love Diana as my sister, as the only family I have," Diana's words made Rai very surprised."What do you mean!?"Tap!Diana managed to reach Rai, and immediately handed Pine into his hands. She gently caressed the face of Pine who was slowly fainting from all the events that had happened to her today."She's my sister, Rai. Please take care of her," said Diana and then disappeared from Rai's presence."Sister!? What does she mean? Pine is her sister???” Kevin thought.Shh!Diana had shifted position in front of Kevin, who had been silent for a long time. "Thank you for saving her, it's my time to save her now," she said sincerely. Then Diana stepped over to Dominic and stood behind him.Diana looked at Rai who was now separated by
Tap. Tap. Tap.Kevin chased after him but, "RAI... Ugh..." Kevin groaned, feeling pain in his stomach."Your Majesty, don't push yourself," said Julio.With an expressionless and cold face that, of course, Kevin couldn't see, Rai said, "Give me back what's mine, then I will return yours."***TAP. TAP. TAP.Dominic and his troops managed to get out of the castle. They were now to the east, away from Raltz Castle. While Diana was on the shoulder of one of the soldiers of the Antro army, they carried her body like a sack of rice."There is already a car waiting at the border, Your Majesty," said Rena. “But is this okay? We lost that woman.”"How is the condition?" asked Dominic."She kept her mouth shut. I think it's a good thing that she doesn't rebel or utter useless words."On the other hand, Diana, whose body was swaying here and there, only looked at the
At Raltz Castle, Kevin sat silently in his study, staring blankly at the now deserted room without Pine. Everything that just happened was hard for him to process."Why did things turn out like this, Julio?" Kevin asked blankly."Sorry that I can't do anything.""Soldiers, servants, even Pine... I feel like a failure as a leader.""No, Your Majesty! Don't say such things!"Kevin rubbed his face in frustration, “This is really beyond my expectation, the arrival of the King is beyond my prediction. He even brought his troops, and we didn't even notice. I've been fooled!!”"We should have rejected Rena from the start."Kevin asked, “Where is the doctor?”"I've been looking for it, but can't find it. He disappeared without leaving a trace. But his things are still in his room, only the big bag he brought with him the first time is missing.”"Was he also brought by the King?"Julio shook h
Knock. Knock. Knock.There were several knocks on the door. "Rai..." but there was no answer.Knock. Knock. Knock."How long are you going to stay there? Are you a prisoner? Get out!" said Al losing his temper."Rai! Get out!!!"Silence... Rai didn't respond at all.DAK!Al who was already very annoyed finally kicked the door of the room very hard, "Damn it! What else were you thinking, huh!?”From afar Iki and Ika could only be silent watching everything. Since their return three days ago from Raltz, Rai had never left his throne room. Not even a sound was heard.Not even the residents of Haltz castle knew what was going on there. Whether dead or alive, Rai never responded at all. Even Al was annoyed by him, making him emotional every day.They—the castle residents didn't even dare try to enter, because they knew he was Rai, and he could kill anyone right now. On the other hand, Iki and Ika must meet Rai as soon as possible. Inquire about Diana. About what happened and how he didn't
Krrttt...The sound of the door opening was heard. Rena entered the room but Diana was still looking at the window without intending to look at her. Rena is annoyed but doesn't want to waste energy just talking to people who don't want to talk."I brought food and water, and this time you have to finish it. The king told me to do it by force, but I will be kind. I will wait for an hour. If you still don't touch it, then I will carry out his orders," explained Rena long and wide.Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!Time passed, but Diana still sat there quietly. She didn't even glance at the contents of the tray in front of her. Her gaze was only fixed on the blue sky that she saw from the window which was a little blurry because it was covered in dust. Rena didn't know what she was thinking.Rena just watched this woman in silence. She wondered, why did Dominic take this woman? He should have taken the real Diana. Not even playing with a human like this."Time's up. I'll do it now," and Rena appr
"Heh... I forgot... Does she have a boyfriend now or a husband...? At least she has guards after I'm gone. I know they're vampires but they're people I can rely on. Yeah, I only have trust in them, nothing more," Diana thought. Tes..! Diana glanced at her hand. Thick crimson droplets kept falling on the back of his hand, forming a puddle and sliding down from the back of his hand and dripping onto the floor. "Ahh... So I hit my head and it bled," Diana's vision grew blurry, causing her to close her eyes again. "Diana I'm glad you survived. I'm glad to see you're still breathing right now. I don't know what happened that you forgot about me. But the most important thing is that you're safe," and after that Diana fell limp. ***** Rai was in the midst of a crowd of people passing by, as well as vehicles back and forth in front of him. Across the street where he stood, was a large black gate that separated these humans from the Antro Palace. Rai just stood there, looking straight at
Pine was in one of the rooms located on the third floor of the west area of Haltz castle. Since her arrival here, she has not opened her eyes at all. In her sleep she kept delirious.There wasn't much that Al could do as the second person in charge of the Haltz government, he could only monitor the state of this woman. Her tense face showed that Pine was having a bad dream. Her forehead was full of sweat, and her lips kept spewing nonsense words."Go..."Al listened to every slurred word that came out of his mouth."They'll be here soon..."I'll follow you...""Listen to me...""What did he do?" asked Iki who entered the room with Ika.“You have to go… Now.""Are you blind?" Iki cursed and immediately snorted loudly"Since her arrival, she has only said unclear words," said Ika. "Is she having a bad dream?"“If so, then it's really bad since she's been doing it since she first came here,” commented Iki."What should we do?" Ika asked."Leave her alone," Iki replied coldly.“Heee… Wher
Hah... Hah... Hah...The sound of her breath getting louder and louder, sweat dripping down her body, her eyes closed with images of events that kept repeating themselves, made everything seem real.The gray color has now changed to other colors, making it even more colorful. A deep breath made the eyes that had been closed for five days finally open.She sinks deeper into the lost memory. Assemble them into solid pieces. The memory continues to spin like a movie that is showing.“It would be better if I died this time.”"If that happens, that woman will forever be a stone. Living in darkness and silence," someone replied."You..."Yes, the person who replied to those words was Rai who had just returned from the human world. He just went straight to Pine's room to meet her. The residents of Haltz who are worried about his condition just ignore him, including Al and his younger siblings.Upon entering Pine's room, Rai immediately found that this human had awakened from her long sleep.
