âWhats happen?â asked Queenie.Her eyes looked at the entire room. Steni and Lana sat limply on the table beside the magic pot. They lost their light and seemed so pale. Fewa and Deril rushed over and examined the two butterflies. Fewa placed Lana in his hand and Deril as well.âTake it easy. We are fine. Turning magical grapes into hollymere has made us expend all our energy. We also lost our power temporarily.â Waliaver said breathlessly.âWhat should we do to recover you?â asked Queenie.âNothing, Princess. We will recover after returning to the Hollymere land. The doctors of hollymere land definitely can help us. You can check out the hollymere grape in that magic pot.âQueenie approached and picked up a single, pitch-black grape. The grape looked so black because it burned, even darker at night. Queenie looked at the grapes. Then she slowly split it into two parts.Inside the grape appeared a liquid like gold, like the fruits of hollymere landâs forest.âCan we eat this grape? Ho
What Queenie thought was correct. The people of the Bright River Kingdom became chaotic at the sight of dragons flying over their area. Fewa deliberately flew so low. He wanted to make more people would see them. He even flew at low speed. All the citizens of the Bright River Kingdom could see Fewa so clearly.The dragon flew calmly and gracefully. People were scared and turned into amazement. They adored their eyes when they saw the apparition on Fewaâs back. A girl with long red hair sat quietly there. She wore a long, elegant white dress. The hem of the dress fluttered in the wind.The girl looked like an angel sitting on the back of a dragon. Beautiful, graceful, admirable, cruel, and dangerous. As if the girl was under the protection of the dragon. The girl sat quietly and looked straight ahead. It was as if she didnât care for the admired glances of everyone below her.The people of the Bright River Kingdom observed the girl. They felt wondered what that girl looked like. Fewa f
She scanned the red box that was on the table. This box was sized and straightforward, only about thirty centimeters. But Queenie had seen a lot of magic from this box.Queenie slowly opened the box. Everything looked like before. There was a book with a gold covering. She opened the book. The first page was empty now! No more warning posts there.Then Queenie opened the second page. The page that was before empty now contained some text. Queenie frowned. This book could change according to the conditions that happened. Queenie started to read the text on the second page of the book.âLook at it with your heart. Not with eyes.âQueenieâs eyebrow frowned deeper. She was a little upset. This book was full of mysteries. Queenie didnât have much time to solve various mystery words. She needed to cure his father immediately.Queenie closed the book again in annoyance. Accidentally, her finger touched the bottom of the box. The bottom of the box was hard and felt mushy. Like there was anoth
The Darian Kingâs body was a bright light golden color. It was so bright and dazzling. Zetoma hid under the table to avoid the light from the Darian Kingâs body. He was the only human in the room. The golden light unaffected Queenie, the Dragon Knights, and hollymere creatures.King Darianâs body then lifted upwards. His body was floating in the air, along with the increasingly loud screech of King Darian. It all lasted for a few minutes. Then slowly, the golden light disappeared from the Darian Kingâs body and returned to the bed. His eyes slowly opened. The first eyes King Darian saw were Queenieâs.The girl had been standing next to her fatherâs bed. Waiting for the reaction of hollymere wine on her fatherâs body. She stood up so bravely, with a cold and calm face. When king Darian opened his eyes, Queenie approached and sat on the edge of the bed.âDad! Youâre back!âKing Darian looked puzzled. He blinked slowly. His hand slowly stretched out and touched Queenieâs face. Slowly, hi
Zetoma stood up quickly.âWhat do you mean?!â he asked the soldiers so loudly.âHealer Fergodo leave the palace. The gatekeeper saw him leaving this morning in a carriage. He brings a lot of things. He says to the guard that he is going to get a potion for the King.ââThen you just believe it?!â Zetoma shouted.The two soldiers in front of him bowed. Their faces were pale, and their bodies trembled with fear. Seeing Zetomaâs anger, King Darian got off the bed and walked over to Zetoma. King Darian held his prime ministerâs shoulder.âThey are innocent, Zetoma. Fergodo is a doctor who has served in the Kingdom for more than thirty years. Even before Queenieâs birth. It is natural that they simply trust what Fergodo says. Then they open the gates of the Kingdom. So Fergodo can come out easily.âHearing King Darianâs words, Zetoma was a little calmer, as were the soldiers standing before him.âYou can go. Close the door, please. Say the guards to keep this matter from being heard by the
âWhat will be if King Eric brings all those monsters to attack the Bright River Kingdom?â asked Queenie.King Darian looked at Queenie, Zetoma, and Argo alternately. King Darianâs face was agitated. It looked implies fear and anxiety.âThe Bright River Kingdom absolutely be razed to the ground. Another thing, everything that the monster army passes through will definitely be damaged and destroyed. The red orchid formula can be turning animate into bloodthirsty, heartless, and full of anger. Thatâs why I ask Fergodo to make the antidote as well. A monster formula antidote that also works as a quick wound healer.â King Darian explained everything.Zetoma sighed desperately. If Darian King had told him before about this secret, he would have supervised Fergodo even more tightly. But it was too late now. Fergodo must have almost arrived in the Kingdom of Nicundhra.All sat silent. They had one choice now, to find Fergodo and return the Red Orchid formula. But they still needed to find out
Argo, sitting in front, was completely unaware of Derilâs existence. Even Leya, sitting on Queenieâs shoulder, didnât see Deril. They were all focused on looking toward the front. Somehow, Queenie felt Deril smiling behind the nape of her neck. He hugged her from behind when he learned that Queenie wasnât resisting.Being in Derilâs arms, Queenie felt warm and safe. When Fewa flew faster, Queenie didnât need to hold on too tightly to Fewaâs back. Deril was like a guardian angel hugging her from behind.When they arrived at the boundary of the Nicundhra Kingdom, Fewa started flying low. Argo jumped down. He was about to help Queenie when he saw Deril behind Queenie. Deril then brought Queenie jumping down from Fewaâs back.Then Fewa changed his form into a human. Saw Deril, Argo, crossed his right hand over his left chest and lowered his head. He saluted. Deril immediately gave a sign by shaking his head. Put the forefinger in front of his mouth. A gesture so that Argo didnât speak any
After blocks, they arrived at the gates of Nicundhra Palace. Suddenly, a young man with a handsome face and bold black hair blocked their way. Argo and Queenie looked at the man with squinting eyes.âWhy are you blocking our path?â asked Argo.âI would like to invite you to rest in my inn,â the man replied with a friendly face.âWe donât need accommodation. Weâre almost at our destination. Now get out of my way!â Argo commanded.But the man didnât flinch at all. He stayed in front of them and looked at Queenie. The man hoped Queenie had a different opinion than Argo.âCan you rest in my inn?â he asked Queenie.The young man must feel scared seeing Queenieâs cold and frozen face. But he, even more, forced them all to stop at his inn. Queenie squinted. Looked more intently at the figure of the young man in front of her.She looked at some Nicundhra residents, who were busy. The location around the palace gate was always crowded. Usually, the communityâs business center was placed around
âYou are a very smart girl. You just need to think about yourself sometimes,â Deril whispered in Queenieâs ear.âIâve done that before. More selfish than you can think.ââIâve heard that from the rumors of the people of the Bright River Kingdom. Luckily, I met you when everything had changed.ââI regret that time. Long years wasted.ââHumans have to learn from mistakes. Sometimes the lessons donât come once, but many times.ââOne death and two lives is enough for me.âQueenie closed her eyes. Derilâs hug felt so comfortable for her. Her back that met Derilâs chest seemed to merge. Queenie could feel Derilâs heart beating for her. Derilâs scent had told Queenie that the man hugging her was not a grape grower. Derilâs warmth was the warmth that sank Queenieâs soul. His perfect blend had made her surrender easily in the manâs arms.They first met in Derilâs vineyards. Queenie knew him as The Farmer. Queenie has forgotten all that now. Deril was definitely no ordinary grape grower. Derilâ
âFergodo!â Argo exclaimed.Queenie remained sitting quietly in her place. She looked at Fergodo with wide eyes and waited for someone to explain. Fergodo drew closer to Queenie. A few steps later, they saw another three people behind Fergodo. One woman at Fergodoâs age and two young women. They were Fergodoâs wife and children.Arriving before Queenie, Fergodo crossed his right hand to his left chest. Then he bowed to Queenie. Behaviour followed by his wife and two children. Fergodo did not dare to look at Queenieâs face. His gaze fell on the floor. So did the three women who were with him.Deril smiled happily because Queenie didnât react to the surprise he gave. The girl didnât even ask.âOnce you are determined to find Fergodo, I head first into this forest and try to find them. It turned out that they were trapped in this place. This forest has two layers of plains. The upper plains are where the gigantic beasts and all the chaos are. While the lower plains are where we are right
âStop calling me Prince, or I will kill you,â Deril said with a cruel look.Argo really understood what Deril meant. The reflex call he utters could get him into big trouble. He knew precisely what kind of person was before him. Argo remembered Derilâs cruelty thousands of years ago. Memories that made him shiver and freeze. After the tragedy, only one thing could make Deril satisfied. It was dying of someone.He nodded slowly in understanding. His eyes looked into the room of the house behind Deril. The room looked bright and luxurious. The dominant colour decorations were gold and blue in almost all the house parts. Without a flame to illuminate it, the house seemed to glow. Like there was a unique sun placed in that house.The house in the middle of the forest looked like an abandoned hut. No one would have thought that the inside of that lousy house was more luxurious than a palace. Argo could feel the thick scent of magic enveloping the house. The outside and inside of the house
Argo surveyed the bottom of the cave. The bottom of the cave was covered in sand. Argo felt that sometimes the sand moved and sank a little. Maybe the sand made the cave air so hot and dry.âWe are like trapped rats now. Outside, the gigantic beast is waiting for us. While there, the heat can kill us.â Fewa complained.âShut your mouth, Fewa!â Leya rebuked.The little butterfly waved her hand. Hopefully, it could make her feel more comfortable. The hot air in the cave made their skin turn red. Queenie was busy observing the cave walls. It was as if she saw writing and drawings on the cave walls.The cave was black. Queenieâs eyes couldnât be sure. Her hands kept groping and trying to read all the writing. It looked like it was strange writing. Not a language Queenie understood. The air in the cave was getting hotter.âItâs like being in a furnace, isnât it?â Fewa asked. Who did he ask?Fewa ignored Leyaâs warning. He kept on babbling about venting his frustration.âWe are risking our
A light appeared from the red box in Queenieâs hand. It illuminated every side of the forest. Every time the light penetrated a side, then at that moment, an appearance appeared. The sighting with massive, horrifying beasts.Their size was even taller than the tree that was there. Their body size was enormous. They all stood in a row facing Queenie and her friends. Their shape wasnât like ordinary animals.A tiger with long fangs barely touched feet. It was standing at the front. Looked like a Siberian tiger. It was bigger and scary. Behind the tiger stood another beast. All were in terrible shape and so large. Fewa, who was already at the threshold of the forest, slowly stepped back.âOh, damn! They are real!. I almost became a meal,â Fewa hissed.Queenie, Leya, and Argo observed all the animals. They all looked silent and stood alert. They prepared to pounce on anyone who dared to enter their territory.âHow can we enter this forest?â Queenie asked Argo.âGive me the box,â said Argo
When Queenie turned to look at the people who were cleaning up the corpses, Deril disappeared. Queenie snorted in annoyance. She didnât understand how Deril always came and went as he pleased. Shouldnât Deril know that QueenieâĶ wanted Deril to always be around her?Fewa smiled wryly at the sight of Queenieâs gloomy face. He could see that Queenie had fallen in love with that bastard who owned the magical vineyard. Fewa walked towards Queenie. He came to Argo and started treating everyone that got a wound.Queenie stood and felt lost in her heart. She didnât know since when feeling attached to Deril. She didnât mind Derilâs closeness. Queenie enjoyed Derilâs touch. A touch that made her feel protected. With Deril, Queenie felt a different vibe.Something Queenie had never felt in her previous life. Queenie remembered all those times. The time before she died and came back to life. Queenie could still recognize that feeling. With Fabian, Queenie felt proud and happy. When everyone looke
A fireball fell right before King Eric. He stumbled and fell backward. He didnât notice another fireball coming. The fireball fell right above his head. He was on fire and screamed like crazy.âAaarrrgghhh!!! Help!!!!âHe ran as he wanted. The people and the soldiers of the kingdom saw and screamed. They needed to stay hidden to protect themselves. The atmosphere at Nicundhraâs palace was very chaotic.Several sides of the palace burned. Many people were running towards the palace gate. They tried to get out of Nicundhraâs palace. Even the soldiers were now hiding. In normal conditions, they were brave soldiers. They couldnât fight. The attacks were too sudden.The fireballs that Argo spewed out were more and more. Queenie and Deril watched the whole mess from Fewaâs back. The little dragon flew higher. Seeing King Eric tormented in pain, Queenie gave Argo instructions.âNow Argo!âThe giant red dragon roared so loudly. He inhaled so deeply and exhaled to bursting of fire. The flames
The red orchid formula made Argo feel hot and burning. He ran out of king Ericâs room. The meter rolled on the grass in the courtyard of Nicundhraâs palace. The people and soldiers of Nicundhra watched Argo from the corners of the palace.Queenie, Deril, and Fewa ran after Argo. They passed the bodies of the Nicundhra soldiers lying on the floor of King Ericâs chambers. The soldiersâ bodies had separated from their heads. Blood pooled around the soldiersâ bodies. They had to step into the pool of blood to get out of King Ericâs room. Leya flew after them.Meanwhile, King Eric was still shocked by the scene before him. Dozens of Nicundhraâs royal guard troops who came with him to catch the red orchid formula thief died within minutes. They were slaughtered with lightning-fast and invisible movements. King Eric immediately followed them.The scenery in the palace courtyard made everyone wanna die. Their hearts stopped beating, and their minds were gone. Everyone lost their sanity while
Queenie, Deril, and Argo walked quickly into a hallway. The hallway directly connected the palaceâs front to the Kingâs chambers. The secret hallway they found before the event. The hallway was created to save the King in an emergency.That was a small hallway, and no one was in the hallway. All the guards must be busy partying on the castle grounds. They didnât think that Nicundhra was under threat. Their work had been hushed since the death of Prince Fabian.After they lost the controlling power of the Dragon, Nicundhra never attacked other kingdoms. Felt their Kingdom was safe and peaceful, all the guards went to the feast. Many hallways were left empty without guards.They arrived safely at the door of the Kingâs room. Argo opened the door to King Ericâs room. After Queenie and Deril entered, he immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.Queenie looked straight at the wall above King Ericâs bed.âThat should be the wall that King Eric said,â Queenie said.Deril and
