CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Continuing Struggle

“Lateness!” protest everything.

Mae just grinned the horse and told Yuya to continue the story that not everyone knew of this. Just Yuya alone, somehow the girl knew what was really going on.

“However, Charlotte never came back. It seems the incarnation is delayed. Everyone wondered if Charlotte was really peaceful in nature or not. Until in the end, the slime in which there was a seed finally grew bigger until in time, the slime took out a small boy named Yuya.”

“HAH?!”

All were astonished, while Yuya smiled full of satisfaction.

“I was born from there with Berkah Insect Charmer and live with animal races. I grew up well and with great ability. I trained myself while waiting for the Queen's promise to return.”

Suddenly, Yuya's gaze became sad. “For a full thousand years I waited, but my mother never came. In the end, one hundred years ago Charlotte came to the cave grievingly. I tried to greet him, but suddenly he was interested in something else. She kept following him and over time.he forgot about me.”.

Yuya's head was getting bowed in. The sadness he felt. How not, for a thousand years he waited but the last Charlotte did not recognize him at all and was more interested in the others.

“The one who turned my mother away from me is you, O BLACK MAGIC!”

Deg.

Mae suddenly felt a heart that was so terrible. However, forget that first, seeing Yuya become like a great little girl made Mae forget something that was churning inside her chest.

Yuya became serious again. The light around him went berserk again, even Yuya's net twinkle again emitted a terrifying sharp look.

“Then from that, I will soon defeat you and reclaim my right as the great princess endowed by God!”

Wuses.

Black Magic also raged. Her aura against Yuya's magic. They fought, fought with power.

“I won't let him, he's mine! Charlotte's mine forever and I won't let her go. He will live happily with me rather than run to that cave and die in vain!” reply Black Magic.

“He didn't die in vain!”

Wuses.

Wuses.

As the magic war heats up, Steven and the others try to cover their faces to avoid a deadly attack from the two.

Until at the end...

“Argh!” yuya shouted trying to control the black magic that formed a huge shadow. They continue to fight fiercely until on the last attack, Yuya begins to give his flagship weapon.

It says, “EUANUIT!”

One of the spells was loudly shouted...

WUSES.

In an instant the black smoke that had been their enemy from the beginning disappeared instantly and Yuya fell down after a war by floating.

However, soon he landed with his feet and his eyes were not as sharp as before. The air around became clean instantly, feeling very cool and reconciling.

The smoke blocking their view and the chest-stifling black magic had now disappeared. They rushed to the place where Varl and Ellena were.

In the end, they arrived in front of Charlotte's throne room. There, Charlotte is still possessed by black magic and Ciel is challenging her. However, the two now fought each other over magic power. Several times Ciel crashed and Charlotte increasingly seemed satisfied.

Seeing Charlotte with her wrath infuriated Yuya. He wants to end all this madness. Charlotte was not wrong, but it was Black Magic that had been controlling Charlotte all this time.

“Stop that, MOM!” yuya shouted for a moment. He was already upset and wanted to see Charlotte laugh again. Yuya also wanted to see how Charlotte smiled again. A smile that faded after Charlotte died a thousand years ago.

The clear thread of Yuya's tears continued to pour. Finally... yes finally he can meet the ‘ibu’ that has made him exist in this world.

Charlotte looked expressionless. He stopped raging when a little girl ran up to him calling ‘ibu’. Really, a strange girl he thought.

However, he immediately cast his magic to the point that Yuya was thrown so far away.

Wuses.

Bruk!

Yuya hit Steven until they both docked on the ground.

“You okay, Yuya?” asked Steven, ascertaining the condition of the little girl while falling down occasionally.

However, Yuya answered nothing. Sadness and upset are mixed.

Hixes.

Hixes.

Hixes.

Yuya pointed it at Charlotte, trying to break through the woman's defenses. Yet...

Bruk!

Yuya again crashed. The black magic around Charlotte possessed even greater power compared to the previous one.

Although the girl's body was trembling, Yuya was undaunted. As much as he got up and tried to fight. Yet...

Uhuk!

Yuya coughed and spat out fresh blood from his mouth, just like Varl and Ellena who were currently being guarded by Leonie, Hanae, Mae, and others.

Seeing Yuya fighting on his own, Ciel helped. He lifted up Yuya's still trembling body by holding his spear.

“You... You're Patan's son, ‘kan?” ask Yuya for a moment.

Ciel nodded. “My father was wrong. I'll make it up to you.”

Hearing that, Yuya shook his head. “No. Destiny is destiny. Let's fight together.”

Both of them stood facing the queen who had been possessed by black magic. The wind around started to rage. All elements are blocked unless only subject to Charlotte's orders.

Very stubborn.

On the other hand, Gao who was currently holding Varl was glancing at Ellena who was still closing her eyes. His heart was heartbroken to see someone who had made his heart pound with a different beat lying helplessly.

“This must be the curse of eternal ice,” sad Gao in heart. In fact, Hanae and the others also cried seeing the condition of Varl and Ellena which was very sad.

“Ellie.. hiks,” Leonie's tears are so broken.

The sound of being a accompaniment to the atmosphere around.

Sudden.

Bruk!

Ciel and Yuya were thrown so far away that they hit another wall. In an instant, they instantly closed their eyes as they hit the wall so hard, making their heads dizzy.

Everyone whirled and shouted, “YUYA, CIEL!”

Crying after crying sounded. Everyone feels weak. Charlotte has been consumed with her black magic that has ruled her all along.

They cried, but the Black Magic laughed out loud, feeling the satisfaction of the results he had already done.

“Hahaha, goodbye defeat. Now, I will rule this country.”

The wind increasingly rampaged to form a storm that blew away the dust. They were there until they coughed and their eyes turned red because dust entered the body.

While Ruby was fretting. He patted Ellena on the cheek, trying to wake her up.

“Ellie, Ellie, banguun! Ellie, don't leave me! Ellie, I beg you not to die first.” Ruby was crying so hard, the others were the same.

There was only sadness around them whereas the enemy was satisfied with what was happening here.

Hixes.

Hixes.

Hixes.

“Are you leaving me, Ellie?” ask Ruby lirih. Honestly, he was very disappointed to see Ellena's condition that seemed to be no longer able to be helped, especially Ellena's heart like!

Ruby looked down, feeling guilty. He who brought Ellena into this world, Ellena has now lost by risking her life.

“Anda... If I hadn't brought you here, Ellie.” Ruby was really sorry for what she did.

Sudden.

A hand with the tip of his finger frozen touched Ruby's tiny cheek until the boy was shocked that something cold touched him.

“J-don't ever say ‘andai’ because s-all that happens there must be wisdom behind it. We don't know, what God had planned on our lives.”

Ellena's eyes opened, her smile expanding like a crescent moon. Just contact Ruby directly scream, “Ellie?!”

All the eyes that had been closed because they were crying over the departure of Ellena, now wide open to see a miracle.

“You're not dead?” steven asked for a moment, he wiped his wet eyes.

Hearing that, Ellena coughed once, then she chuckled. Then, he tried to get up. “Which may the main cast die that easily.” Ellena's sharp gaze to Charlotte interspersed with her grin.
