"Kay!" I cried to him with a happy smile, because he finally got me to meet a hunter after getting sick of seeing ferocious werewolves roaming around everywhere.
"Is anyone hurt?" then the girl asked without heeding my call.
Even though I know he won't answer it, for some reason this heart always wants to be kind to the girl.
Then after seeing his unchanging disposition towards me, even in this time of tribulation, my heart still feels hurt. The wound that had existed before, and now the wound was getting wider.
Then while continuing to ignore me, Kayra walked towards us—Kimi and I. Then the girl who was standing with a cold and sharp gaze beside me asked in a half whisper, "Who is she?" and of course he asked without looking at his interlocutor.
(Still Royce’s POV)"Okay... all right..." the fat guard's voice was low.I lifted my chin slightly while crossing my arms across my chest, then looked at him intently—waiting for the answer I should have gotten a long time ago.“He… he… is… the son of the village chief.”He looked down at his feet after saying the answer I wanted."The village chief's son?Who's he?"I asked then.“He… he is Janshen Wijaya.The only child of the village chief with his third wife.”added the center guard.His tone of voice was very different from before.If when speaking to me a while ago he used a very rude tone and was always angry, now he lowered his voice, and it made me suspicious of the person they were referring to."What's wrong with this person?What did he do to y
(The POV is still Royce )My eyes narrowed for a moment, "what corpse?I don't see anything here at all.HAH!Don't be kidding me!""I'm not joking!Foreigners who come here will indirectly be affected by the eye magic of the magicians from this village.”Mai's voice sounded hoarse as well as sad.The two furrowed brows in the middle on this girl's beautiful face made me feel sorry for her."Well that's that then.Take me now to where the materials and tools are.”Immediately without thinking, I looked away from the girl, avoiding her sad eyes.He could be heard sighing.Then he moved his foot back and began to take a step clockwise to the number two.Before I followed behind him, I did what he told me earlier, which was to apologize.I did as soon as he started walking.He was walking pretty fast, so I had to tak
(POV ROYCE)Since walking past the apple tree, for some reason my attention has been fixed on him.Every now and then I glanced at his face from the side, but immediately turned to the front when he began to notice my glance.“Hihihi…” he chuckled covering his mouth."Is there something funny?"His head moved left and right, "nothing, it's just ... I want to laugh ..." a sweet and seductive smile he showed me."Ugh!Very beautiful!"my mind is seduced by his face that I rarely find."Ah, we've arrived!"he exclaimed excitedly, pointing to a large and majestic house that stood firmly in front of it."Hey!Very funny.In the middle of a forest like this… a house this big… are the inhabitants of this house all animals?”I said then as I continued to walk in the directi
(POV Royce)"Then what are we waiting for?Why didn't you say it earlier?Let's go to your house now...!I will prepare beforehand.”Mr. Emen excitedly got up from his place and entered the house.Mai and I looked at each other."Why him?"I asked flatly.Mai just raised her palms to the sky while shaking her head and her shoulders rising, making me even more confused.A few seconds later, the old man was ready with all his equipment.He carried a large number of books, a thin wooden wizard's wand, and three large bags."Let's go to your house now," he said at once.After saying that, he quickly moved the small wooden stick up and down it slowly.Suddenly from behind me and Mai, there was a big roar.
(Back to Rumi's POV)"We'll just have to wait a little longer."
My forehead furrowed, "Tell me that's not true, Will ..." My eyes widen when I hear Kayra's voice.Nevertheless, Will returned my gaze pitifully.I slowly walk backwards."I'm sorry..." he said softly, almost in a whisper.His hands were trying to reach my body that kept walking backwards."It should be like that, Rumi.You don't need to be angry with your future husband," added Kimi who suddenly approached Kay."Is it because of this sword?"I pointed at Grandpa's sword hanging from my left waist.The three people standing in front of me nodded in unison.My eyes widened again, then I moved my head and stared intently at this descended sword.I was muttering inwardly, thinking of a way to restore Will's magic power."What should I do now?What… if I put this sword back in its place, Will's power will recover?”
"Is it over, the play?"Kimi said sarcastically at me and the handsome young man standing next to me.Will immediately grabbed my hand and we turned to look at the two girls who had been watching before they were amused by our behavior by looking in another corner."Yes," I replied innocently with a big smile.Kimi pursed her lips even more, "that sucks...!"he muttered then as he turned his face to the right with his arms crossed over his chest.Will and I exchanged glances, then we chuckled together.Meanwhile, Kayra, seeing the intimacy between me and this young witch, she seemed happy too.Not like Kimi who was annoyed with what she was witnessing right now.“Hahh ...” Kay sighed, “if I were like them too, it would be fun for my life.You don't have to always struggle with spears and strange powers to chase after thos
“Sir… if you are the one who can do it, then… I beg with all my soul and body, please save the lives of my parents.”I whined politely while lowering my head."You don't have to be like that, Rumi.After all, you are already my own children.Likewise with your father and mother, they are like brothers to me.""Thank you sir ...."“Alright, let's not waste any more time.I will immediately perform the ritual,” said Mr. Emen, then turned towards the house.Just as he was about to move his right foot to start walking, he suddenly stopped and spoke without turning his head, “Oh, yes!Don't come into the house until I'm done and come out to tell.""But Master, what about the servants who are in the house?"I asked worriedly.&nb
(Author's POV)When everyone had left the round table room, Will and Rumi were still silent with their arms around each other."Why are we meeting at a time like this?"Rumi suddenly opened his mouth and asked something that had been bothering him lately."I don't know... maybe it's because we have each other's privileges, that's why fate brought us together now," answered the yellow-haired youth gently.“Hm… you're right.After all… if we had met a few years back, but I was still not of the legal age for marriage, I would have insistedon still being married to you.”"Ha ha ha.You are... how can I marry a little girl, "Will replied then while the index finger of his right hand poked Rumi's nose.“Oh… so you don't want to marry me?”Rumi's eyes looked sharply at her future husband, s
My eyes widened knowing that my guess was correct. Then at that moment I saw the state of Kayra, who was across the table on the right. He didn't show any reaction. The girl was just silent, looking down, she didn't open her mouth at all. I became worried seeing her condition like a person who has no hope of living anymore.Then I quickly turned my attention back to Royce, “a-….”Just about to speak, Mother already cut off my intention. He interrupted me who wanted to say too."Who is Mira? What have you done that you can't forget when you're with your family?” His voice was so low, but it pierced his chest.For a moment I looked at Mother, then I turned again to my sister.He looked gloomy, the joy I used to see was now experiencing a blackout. There was no passion for spirit anymore from the aura radiated from Royce's body."She's just an ordinary magical
"Why did they come home?"suddenly my mind remembered the order from Kimi to the maids."So that they can adapt to their new appearance, and that starts from where they come from."“Are they okay, when they change form?Isn't there something strange about them?Or… actually they have prepared themselves because at any moment they will be like this?”"Are you stupid, or what?So many questions from your mouth."Kimi's harsh words made me furious, "if you don't want to answer, then there's no need to insult like that!"Suddenly both of Will's hands wrapped around me, "Yes.Patience..." he said softly while rubbing his shoulder.Even so, my eyes didn't change in staring intently at Kimi."I didn't insult you, Rumi.I'm just asking your brain that always wants to know that," Kimi said then with
I still can't understand the reason behind Kayra hating me.“Kay, is that the only excuse you have?Is it true, nothing else?”along the way the thought kept replaying in my mind.I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes.When I opened it, the trip was over and we had arrived at the door of the house.Mother turned to me, "You are the first to open the door, Rumi."I frowned at my mother's words.I don't know why I hesitate to do it.But ignoring those doubts, I ventured to be the first to enter the house after a night of unwelcome events.My head nodded once in response to Mother's words, then my legs slowly moved forward.While the others, they gave me the way and watched me who was still walking.Arriving at the door, my throat unconsciously swallowed his saliva.Then slowly I opened the door of the house by p
"Thank you, I will wait for a reply from him."Kayra looked so happy when I teased her as if to match her with Royce.But I just replied with a smile that implied I agree and disagree with Kay's assumption.“Oh yeah, Kay… I want to ask you something.Eum... while Kimi is quite a distance away from us and... my sister and mother are having a conversation, there's an important matter that I want you to answer honestly,” my voice choked at the last word as I turned to Kay who was tall. not far from me.The straight-haired girl returned my gaze, “what is that?Just so you know, I always tell the truth in my life.”"Oh?!Is that true ...?"I was surprised to hear his sudden confession, in my heart I thought as I turned my face slowly to another direction, "Could it be that his words that lead to hatred for me... are true?""What
"Then tell me now a way so that I can immediately connect with this sword," I retorted in annoyance.But Kimi chimed in with her expression still flat, "I'm tired of saying it, meet the right person instead of asking me."“Yeah I mean, who is that person?I'm also tired of seeing that annoying look of yours, Kimi!”my emotions started to overflow."Rummy!"Suddenly a familiar voice rebuked me and Royce.We all gasped at the sound, then looked at each other in surprise."It's not proper for a princess to say that!apologize to your aunt, Rumi!”The person's voice was heard again, but this time it sounded closer.Then me, Royce, Kay, and Kimi turned together at the source of the voice.How surprised I was when I saw that walking over was the person I missed the most, “Mom&hell
"Foreigners?Do you still like people visiting the village after what happened?”I asked with a furrowed brow."I don't know either, th
