While observing Waliaver, Steni, and Lana, Queenie glanced at Deril. The man was on the porch of his house and checking his machete. The distance between Deril and Queenie was quite a distance about twenty meters. But Queenie could see Deril’s handsome face. Deril’s blond hair made the man look charming. He was not like a commoner in Bright River Kingdom.Queenie’s mind had much questioned the same thing about Deril. But, during this time, they had to move quickly. Queenie ignored all of Deril’s oddities. She just wanted Deril to be able to help her to get hollymere grapes as soon as possible.Now Queenie remembered again to find out about Deril. In addition, he had unique faces. The grapes that Deril planted were not ordinary. According to Waliaver, the inhabitants of heaven should only grow grapes. It could also develop in small amounts.“Queenie! Did you hear my question?” asked Fewa in a whisper as he touched Queenie’s shoulder.“Yes, Fewa. Surely Deril was not a resident of the B
“Whats happen?” 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.“Take it easy. We are fine. Turning magical grapes into hollymere has made us expend all our energy. We also lost our power temporarily.” Waliaver said breathlessly.“What should we do to recover you?” asked Queenie.“Nothing, 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.”Queenie 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 land’s forest.“Can 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 Fewa’s 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 didn’t 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.“Look at it with your heart. Not with eyes.”Queenie’s eyebrow frowned deeper. She was a little upset. This book was full of mysteries. Queenie didn’t 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 King’s 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 King’s body. He was the only human in the room. The golden light unaffected Queenie, the Dragon Knights, and hollymere creatures.King Darian’s 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 King’s body and returned to the bed. His eyes slowly opened. The first eyes King Darian saw were Queenie’s.The girl had been standing next to her father’s bed. Waiting for the reaction of hollymere wine on her father’s 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.“Dad! You’re back!”King Darian looked puzzled. He blinked slowly. His hand slowly stretched out and touched Queenie’s face. Slowly, hi
Zetoma stood up quickly.“What do you mean?!” he asked the soldiers so loudly.“Healer 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.”“Then you just believe it?!” Zetoma shouted.The two soldiers in front of him bowed. Their faces were pale, and their bodies trembled with fear. Seeing Zetoma’s anger, King Darian got off the bed and walked over to Zetoma. King Darian held his prime minister’s shoulder.“They are innocent, Zetoma. Fergodo is a doctor who has served in the Kingdom for more than thirty years. Even before Queenie’s 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.”Hearing King Darian’s words, Zetoma was a little calmer, as were the soldiers standing before him.“You can go. Close the door, please. Say the guards to keep this matter from being heard by the
“What will be if King Eric brings all those monsters to attack the Bright River Kingdom?” asked Queenie.King Darian looked at Queenie, Zetoma, and Argo alternately. King Darian’s face was agitated. It looked implies fear and anxiety.“The 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. That’s why I ask Fergodo to make the antidote as well. A monster formula antidote that also works as a quick wound healer.” 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 Deril’s existence. Even Leya, sitting on Queenie’s shoulder, didn’t 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 wasn’t resisting.Being in Deril’s arms, Queenie felt warm and safe. When Fewa flew faster, Queenie didn’t need to hold on too tightly to Fewa’s 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 Fewa’s 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 didn’t speak any
“You are a very smart girl. You just need to think about yourself sometimes,” Deril whispered in Queenie’s ear.“I’ve done that before. More selfish than you can think.”“I’ve heard that from the rumors of the people of the Bright River Kingdom. Luckily, I met you when everything had changed.”“I regret that time. Long years wasted.”“Humans have to learn from mistakes. Sometimes the lessons don’t come once, but many times.”“One death and two lives is enough for me.”Queenie closed her eyes. Deril’s hug felt so comfortable for her. Her back that met Deril’s chest seemed to merge. Queenie could feel Deril’s heart beating for her. Deril’s scent had told Queenie that the man hugging her was not a grape grower. Deril’s warmth was the warmth that sank Queenie’s soul. His perfect blend had made her surrender easily in the man’s arms.They first met in Deril’s vineyards. Queenie knew him as The Farmer. Queenie has forgotten all that now. Deril was definitely no ordinary grape grower. Deril’
“Fergodo!” 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 Fergodo’s age and two young women. They were Fergodo’s 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 Queenie’s face. His gaze fell on the floor. So did the three women who were with him.Deril smiled happily because Queenie didn’t react to the surprise he gave. The girl didn’t even ask.“Once 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
“Stop calling me Prince, or I will kill you,” 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 Deril’s 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.“We are like trapped rats now. Outside, the gigantic beast is waiting for us. While there, the heat can kill us.” Fewa complained.“Shut your mouth, Fewa!” 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. Queenie’s eyes couldn’t 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.“It’s like being in a furnace, isn’t it?” Fewa asked. Who did he ask?Fewa ignored Leya’s warning. He kept on babbling about venting his frustration.“We are risking our
A light appeared from the red box in Queenie’s 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 wasn’t 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.“Oh, damn! They are real!. I almost became a meal,” 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.“How can we enter this forest?” Queenie asked Argo.“Give me the box,” said Argo
When Queenie turned to look at the people who were cleaning up the corpses, Deril disappeared. Queenie snorted in annoyance. She didn’t understand how Deril always came and went as he pleased. Shouldn’t Deril know that Queenie… wanted Deril to always be around her?Fewa smiled wryly at the sight of Queenie’s 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 didn’t know since when feeling attached to Deril. She didn’t mind Deril’s closeness. Queenie enjoyed Deril’s 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 didn’t notice another fireball coming. The fireball fell right above his head. He was on fire and screamed like crazy.“Aaarrrgghhh!!! Help!!!!”He 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 Nicundhra’s palace was very chaotic.Several sides of the palace burned. Many people were running towards the palace gate. They tried to get out of Nicundhra’s palace. Even the soldiers were now hiding. In normal conditions, they were brave soldiers. They couldn’t fight. The attacks were too sudden.The fireballs that Argo spewed out were more and more. Queenie and Deril watched the whole mess from Fewa’s back. The little dragon flew higher. Seeing King Eric tormented in pain, Queenie gave Argo instructions.“Now Argo!”The 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 Eric’s room. The meter rolled on the grass in the courtyard of Nicundhra’s 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 Eric’s chambers. The soldiers’ bodies had separated from their heads. Blood pooled around the soldiers’ bodies. They had to step into the pool of blood to get out of King Eric’s room. Leya flew after them.Meanwhile, King Eric was still shocked by the scene before him. Dozens of Nicundhra’s 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 palace’s front to the King’s 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 didn’t 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 King’s room. Argo opened the door to King Eric’s 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 Eric’s bed.“That should be the wall that King Eric said,” Queenie said.Deril and
