CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Carry out Mission

Silent.

For a few moments there was silence between them. In fact, Ellena had already said her intentions out loud and full of confidence. However, there were only whispers of wind filling the void of that tense situation.

Then the wanderer spoke up. “For what did you meet the queen of this country, Ellena?” He still held great suspicion towards Ellena. As a traveler, Varl has met many people and knows how the characteristics of these people starting from his behavior can even be judged from all body shapes.

Varl observes, his every estimate is never wrong. He never lost once and this time his heart held great confidence that Ellena seemed to be hiding something, even with apparent incongruity.

Who would not be surprised by the significant difference between them? Ellena was an ordinary human race but did not have any Blessings and the girl had two names that could be likened to the supreme races.

Is Ellena trying to fool Varl?

Varl's thoughts were only about Ellena's cunning at him. However, actually of course Ellena is not like that. Ellena alone did not know how this happened so quickly and led her to another fantasy-like world in a dream. How could his brain be full of rotten plans just to fool the curly-haired man who was afraid of insects?

“What's your motive, Miss?” Again, Varl asked him with a sharp look as if he did not want to give the slightest room to Ellena who was planning something to him, Varl thought.

Yeah, it was all Varl's mind.

“Nothing. I just feel like it's my job. I want to see Her Majesty Queen Charlotte! She is my idol.” Ellena's smile expanded, her mind drifting on the imagination where she had met the majestic and highly flattered queen.

“How about you guys?” ruby asked for a moment, ignoring Ellena's strange imagination. Ruby also wanted to know what made them arrive on this hill which is said to be a teleportation hill to the queen's palace.

According to the myth, this nameless hill has a secret. Whoever finds the portal around this hill will teleport to Queen Charlotte's palace.

However, the obstacles to getting to the top of the hill cannot be underestimated either. The Queen deliberately put a lot of traps so that no one can afford to be on this hill, except them. Somehow, regardless of fate or not, they are the chosen ones.

Even so, arriving at the top of the hill is not something to be proud of just like that. Because, not necessarily people who are able to conquer the hill without a name can find the portal in question.

Everything was filled with secrets neatly hidden by Charlotte, so until now no creature had managed to escape and break through the Queen's defenses.

“Yuya also want to meet the Queen!” Yuya. He raised his right hand that was still holding the tarantula, even the tarantula's legs were moving as if they were excited as the owner.

“Wah, really? We are the same dong! Let's go there!” take Ellena with enthusiasm. How not, he will also go with Yuya. Wouldn't that be more fun?

Ah, adventure in a fantasy world. How fantastic!

Ellena held Yuya's left hand. Both are looking for the portal referred to by the myths. They were very confident that the portal could be found and could finally make it to Charlotte's palace. Really, an easy idea and plan.

Yeah, although it's not that easy, anyway.

“Wait a minute!” Varl pulls Ellena's school uniform collar. “Not that easy, Ellena!”

Ellena turned her head, her eyebrows twitching. “Why? We just went to see him, didn't we? Ah, or we can use Manu and fly up there!” Ellena found a new idea. He glanced and pointed at Manu who was currently chewing the grass without any desire to join the foolish adventurers.

“Hey, you better be self-aware, Uncle!” sergeant Yuya is quick. “There may be Her Majesty the Queen would like a coward like you.” Yuya chuckles mischievously while again showing off his match named Navi.

Varl was also annoyed. “Hey little boy, watch your mouth! I, Varl The Wanderer have never feared what—”

Varl's pride sentence was cut off instantly as Yuya again pointed his match closer to Varl's face. Varl screams and unknowingly hides behind Ellena's body, which is actually smaller than his. Yes, however Varl was a muscular adult man, but it seemed that the muscle was useless in front of the insects at all.

While Yuya was happy, his laughter was so loud that it echoed into space. Perhaps, it could be that the entire citizens of Everfalls heard it.

“Ellena, please stop this snot boy!” pinta Varl, beg. His body was trembling, afraid.

Ellena patted her head. “That snot boy is you, Mr. Varl.” A heavy sigh escaped Ellena's breathing. Instead of the situation being constantly chaotic like this, Ellena finally took firmness. “Already, Yuya. Uncle Varl is too afraid to face life.” Ellena moved away from Varl, who continued to hide behind her. Then, he tells Yuya to save Navi, the black tarantula with a white stripe on her upper abdomen.

After that, Ellena took Yuya back in hand and continued on her way to complete the mission. Suddenly, Ellena realized something.

“Mr Varl,” call Ellena.

“Varl only.” Varl refused to be called ‘tuan’ by the highest race, could-can Life Value or often called by age will be reduced and Varl also will not be able to live the mission.

Yes, the citizens of Wolestria call age or age with Life Value. The more you do good, the more your value or age will increase. But if not, of course your value will be reduced.

“Alright, Varl.” Ellena relents even though she knows that Varl is actually older than her. “Tadi... the previous sentence, I think you also have the same purpose as us?”

“Indeed.” Without rejecting a single bit, Varl replied straightforwardly. Yes, it is the truth. Varl had no intention of hiding his intentions to them.

“I have my own mission. So, please don't follow me!” Varl's eyes showed a great threat to the new people he met today.

He took it very seriously, even making Ellena become dumbfounded at Varl's rapid change in attitude. Then, Varl walked over to his horse, Manu The White Horse.

“Ayo Manu, we have to be fast,” invite Varl without caring about the surrounding people. He focused on climbing Manu's back and preparing to complete his hidden mission.

Previously Varl did not hide his intentions, but there was one purpose that he deliberately kept meetings.

He was determined to solve it himself without anyone else knowing. However, it was unexpected that Ellena and Yuya went up. In fact, Yuya is currently struggling to climb Manu's back, but Ellena helps him.

“Heh, why are you going up? You snot-boys! Get off my horse!” Varl expels Yuya and Ellena who are already sitting quietly on Manu's back. Both of their eyes stared straight at Varl who continued to babble.

“Quick the road, Uncle. Otherwise, Navi will be riding on your back!” threaten Yuya's. Of course, hearing the name made the feathers of Varl crumble instantly. He's been talking to the little insect boy.

Shit, thought Varl. For him, today was the most annoying day because he had to meet with troublesome kencur smelly boys. “Don't till they know my real mission!” inner Varl.
