Daddyh. That's how Lucy called the man. The king who once ruled in the throne of the Varrzanian Kingdom before finally on his son - Vann Lucyver Vortexian - was crowned to carry on the scepter. He was named King Vrannver Vortexian, 9th generation King of Varrzanian.
Vrannver approached his son who was still lying down. Lucyver got up from his bed.
Vrannver: "How are you doing?"
King Lucyver: "I'm fine, Dad..."
Lucyver replied in a soft tone. Although his attitude is cold and can be cruel, he still respects his father who has taught him a lot about leading the kingdom.
Vrannver: "Then, in half an hour, father will be waiting for you in the Royal Sword Hall. Prepare yourself."
King Lucyver: "Okay, dad..."
Pinta Vrannver with a light tone. And pass by, leaving Lucyver. Lucyanna approached her brother.
Lady Lucyanna: "Are you really at your best? You must understand, why did you ask you to come to the Royal Sword Hall."
King Lucyver: "I know it. Ready or not, I have to go. That's what you always taught me."
Say Lucyver, and get out of bed immediately. Then immediately prepare himself as best as possible.
Lucyver understood his father's request. By wearing a special full outfit for sword practice all over his body, without any help. He felt ready to face all the possibilities. He never forgot all these teachings.
Lucyver looked at himself into the large mirror in front of him. Not just looking at his appearance. But he was looking at his red face and eyes. To awaken his inner strength. The look on his face immediately became more focused.
Lucyanna noticed her brother's body language while sitting on the edge of her brother's bed with her arms folded and legs crossed, without commenting anything.
Without wasting any time, Lucyver quickly moved on. But it stopped because of her sister.
Lady Lucyanna: "Are you ready?"
King Lucyver: "Of course! He never taught me to be afraid of anything. And better yet, you're just watching. Don't think about helping me!"
Lucyver said firmly, as if he had read his sister's mind. And passed by, leaving Lucyanna who had felt surprised, but replaced with a smile of satisfaction.
Lady Lucyanna: "That's good, brother. You've started to become the you I know."
Lucyanna left, following her brother to the Royal Sword Hall only as a spectator. Watch the battle drama with Lucyver and Vrannver as the main characters. Lucyanna was very enthusiastic.
Little story, Lucyanna bears the title of Supreme General of the Kingdom of Varrzanian. Although she was a woman, yet her ability in her sword arts, exceeded that of a man. And has always been Lucyver's flagship pawn in some big battles in terms of attack and defense. And as a result, victory is always achieved thanks to the services of Lucyanna. Thus, Lucyanna became the single most important female general recorded in the history of the Varrzanian Kingdom and the history of Vortexian descent.
The extraordinary potential of Lucyanna is obtained from the gift of Goddess Nevalesca, the Goddess of the Black War. Guardians of justice under the hands of the god Lucifer.
Seeing such potential, there were so many Crown Princes who tried to propose to this beautiful woman despite being cold-faced, but it was because that impression that added the allure of a Lucyanna in their eyes. In order to obtain the blood of the knight lineage from Lucyanna also added to the advantage of the strength of their royal fleet if they could marry Lucyanna. Yet no one had managed to get the answer, even to be able to snatch his notoriously cold heart.
「 Entering The Imperial Sword Hall 」
Lucyver is standing in front of a large, tall double door. With carved statues of the previous kings as high as 3 meters on both sides of the door. 4 statues on the right side and 4 statues on the left side. The one who was carrying the same sword, hovered under their two fused hands. The sword is called the Varrzanian Sword. It is a symbol of King Varrzanian. Which will continue to be passed down to the next generation of kings. And now, the sword is held by Lucyver as the new king.
King Lucyver: "Bring me my sword!"
Lucyver's orders were firm. Then, a guard brought Lucyver's flagship sword. Not a real sword.
The sword has 2. His position is opposite direction. One down and one up, sideways. The guard helped Lucyver tie the leather strap of a buckle that surrounded his chest. Tying it tight. And locked it up very well. Lucyver felt very ready.
Without a doubt, he pushed the door with his strength. It looks like a dark room. And there was only one light that highlighted a person dressed just like Lucyver, yet wearing a royal black coat. He stood up handsomely. With a long sword under his two hands that fused together. It was Vrannver who was waiting for his son. With a serious glare of eyes aimed at Lucyver who had just arrived.
Lucyver entered the room and walked to the center. And quit.
King Lucyver: "Father. I came as you requested."
Greet Lucyver while giving his respectful attitude aimed at the previous king.
Vrannver: "It's very good. You're just in time. Like I always taught you. I see, you've prepared yourself very well. Do you know why Dad called you to this place?"
Vrannver said in a firm tone, his voice echoing throughout the dark room.
King Lucyver: "Of course I understand the reason, father."
Vrannver: "Good! Meaning, ready or not, you have to face the coming. In fact, face something unexpected!"
Vrannver said in a sharp tone. Then, he flicked his finger which sounded loud and loud. Instantly, the entire room became bright. And see everything clearly. Apparently, the room had a very large and spacious size.
How surprising. Suddenly, a large group of troops in an unusual form, charged straight at Lucyver from various directions. Calls for loud cries of war. They are ordered to attack Lucyver alone.
With complete confidence, Lucyver took out 2 swords of his pride that were ready to accompany him to achieve victory with a multifaceted. Draw a cynical smile full of confidence. Lucyver was prepared to deal with it.
The battle began. They were an army created from shadows that had bright red eyes and were aggressive. It is always used in combat training and simulation. They could be made in any form, having no fear could even be ordered to kill.
Some of them started attacking Lucyver with their weapons. Lucyver was able to stall him and counterattack with no gaps. His ability in the art of battle was beyond doubt. Plus, because of all those precious abilities, he got from a very disciplined father, but had a gentle side as a father who loved his two sons and daughters very much.
The battle continues. One by one, Lucyver slashed all the shadow troops that came attacking him.
He and his two swords seemed to have fused together in one form. Creating the most beautiful chemistry in sword arts and war. In just a short time, Lucyver was able to finish off all of the troops without remaining. His expression seemed very focused. Crossing his two swords formed an X sign.
Vrannver: "Good start! Wave to 2! Get ready!!"
Vrannver's orders in a firm voice.
Suddenly, there was the sound of the loud roaring of horses echoing. From a distance, there was a black outline that was running fast. It turned out that it was a shadow army in the form of a cavalry with a long spear. Running fast towards Lucyver. Along with the resounding cry of war songs.
Lucyver saw the arrival of this 2nd wave army. With the two swords still crossed, then Lucyver swiped the two iron, until it sounded very loud.
Lucyver leaned over her body, with both swords on either side. Looks very focused. Both of his red eyes were shining.
Instantly, Lucyver dashed towards the thousands of cavalry in front of him. He was ready to greet all of them with a slash of his 2 swords. The 2nd battle begins. Although his opponent this time excelled in riding, it did not dampen his extraordinary fighting ability.
Lucyver did not even hesitate to divide the shadow army. His fighting style was starting to look sadistic. Without forgiveness.
Meanwhile, Vrannver was still standing in his place while enjoying his son's battle drama with a straight look down there.
Vrannver: ("My son. As your father, I always promised to make you the best king... Even better than your father, also than your stepbrother. For decades I trained you to prepare you for something greater than war! And here, I come back to test you again. Before the end, I will be gone forever. I want to make sure you are the strongest king! And worthy after the Lord Lucifer crowned you. You have to show it, my son! If you're the best of your stepbrothers!")
Reveals in Vrannver's mind the great hope he wants to achieve for the rest of his life.
The 2nd battle is coming to an end. It was sealed with the cruel slaughter of a Lucyver. Stabbing violently towards the last troop with both swords then disappearing. That cold face was clearly drawn along with the typical sinister smile of a Devil.
Vrannver: "Good show! But are you ready for the 3rd wave?"
Vrannver began to raise his long sword into the sky. Then swing it forward.
Suddenly, there appeared thousands of 3rd wave shadow troops in the form of archer troops who shot thousands of arrows into the air, targeting Lucyver.
Lucyver looked at the thousands of arrows, then smiled again.
It was as if time was traveling very slowly as the thousands of arrows were about to approach Lucyver who was still standing quietly.
Suddenly, a pair of black-feathered wings appeared from behind Lucyver. And begin to unite the two wings, forming a dome that protects Lucyver.
Thousands of arrows shot towards Lucyver who was sheltering. And some of it stuck to the ground. If it happens in the real world, thousands of lives can be lost easily.
Instantly, the atmosphere returned to silence. There were no arrows left in the air. A pair of Lucyver's black wings protect her. But apparently, it was not a wing with smooth feathers. Rather the one made from the famous Mythril meteor rock was extremely powerful. And at each last tip of his wings were made of sharpened black iron. It can be used as a deadly weapon as well as a strong protector.
The two wings did not appear to have been scratched in the slightest. Looks shiny. At once, Lucyver opened both wings while standing up, flapping them and spreading them wide. It causes a large wind wave to the entire surface of the ground. Throw all the arrows around him that were stuck to pieces. A smile of satisfaction was clearly drawn on his face.
Vrannver: "It's good, my son! So far you haven't let me down. Or maybe after this?"
Praise Vrannver for Lucyver and his fighting skills. Back, Vrannver raised his sword then swung it forward. And appear from a distance, something fired simultaneously. Something bigger than thousands of arrows being crushed. It turned out that they were large stones that were glued from the catapult machine.
Lucyver repositioned his body to prepare for this new wave of attacks. Lucyver again ran towards the rocks. With his strength, he turned both of his swords into longer looks in the form of black-colored flames.
With ease, he was able to crush the incoming stone, also being able to dodge it skillfully thanks to the help from his black Mythril wings. Lucyver flew up into the air while continuously slashing at the increasingly coming rocks in turn. Again, he showed his best ability.
Suddenly, a new attack appeared. This time, the stone that was thrown was enveloped by fire and partly covered by ice. Fly and fall from the sky. Ready to hit Lucyver who was flying.
King Lucyver: "Geez! Very interesting, dad! You put out your best strategy! But, I won't lose to this strategy of yours!!"
Lucyver said as he looked at the arrival of the flint and ice with the same smile.
King Lucyver: "The Zodiarch! I called you!!"
Lucyver called out something, as a huge flint came before him. But surprisingly, the flint shattered into pieces. Behind all the fragments, there was a huge black creature. It has a pair of large wings. His eyes are red. He roared with a loud and loud voice.
That's Zodiark. The black dragon trusts Lucyver, whose entire body is coated in an all-black armor that protects it from the head, legs, wings to the tail. The wings are equipped with large deadly weapons. And able to crush fire and ice to pieces.
King Lucyver: "It's good to see you again, Zodiark! Come on, let's get this over with!!"
The Zodiark roared loudly as a sign of his response.
Vrannver: "Homphi! You finally called your beloved Zodiark!"
Vrannver again praised his son's abilities. Witness the beautiful art of battle in the air.
Lucyver seems to be enjoying the fight even though it is just a simulation. Thanks to the chemistry along with his trusty black dragon, they were able to deal with the onslaught of flint and ice attacks that kept coming.
The attack from the catapult machine stopped. Vrannver suddenly prepared his position and his long sword. Instantly darted into the air, aiming directly at Lucyver who was still riding on his black dragon. Lucyver realizes the rapid arrival of his father.
King Lucyver: "Geez! Daddyh. So this is your plan?"
Vrannver charged at Lucyver with a single swift slash. Lucyver intercepted the attack. However, the defense broke out. Lucyver bounced away from Zodiark's back. Lucyver was shocked by the strength of his father.
King Lucyver: ("Strongly powerful!")
Lucyver fell from a height. Vrannver darted down to catch up with Lucyver. Lucyver tries to summon the Zodiark with magical powers through his hands. At his command, Zodiark is suddenly behind Vrannver and will attack with his deadly weapon that will be thrust directly at Vrannver.
However, Vrannver seemed to be able to read the situation clearly. And was able to avoid the stab with his long sword. The Zodiark weapon rubbed against Vrannver's long sword. To cause sparks.
Vrannver took out something from behind his back that was covered in a royal coat. It turned out to be a long white dagger that glittered and shone. Lucyver was surprised and knew for sure the dagger.
King Lucyver: "No..! The zodiark!!!"
Lucyver tries to order the Zodiark to avoid the stabbing of the dagger. But the black dragon could not avoid it. The prick struck the dragon's neck faster.
The Zodiark roared loudly. But from that prick, it did not bleed a single drop. The Zodiark suddenly shrouded in black aura and faded away rapidly.
Lucyver was greatly shocked by the speed of his father's attack. But on the other hand, he felt relieved, because the stab of the long shiny white dagger did not really kill the Zodiark.
Lucyver is almost near the ground. He was able to land his body well thanks to the help of his black Mythril wings. Although it had to be dragged a few meters back.
Followed by Vrannver who will also land. However, its hard landing inflicts damage above its ground level. Creating a large crack with a very large expanse.
Vrannver landed with his long sword stuck to the ground and the position of the kneeling body. With a face down.
Then, Vrannver stood up slowly. Raising his face. He looked at his son with a straight and sharp look. Pulling out the sword that was stuck to the ground with ease.
Lucyver stood up and noticed the long dagger still in his father's hands.
King Lucyver: "Well, that's a dagger made from 9 sacred stones from the land of Yuvaleccia. Also called the light dagger. Which is able to neutralize the aura of darkness, just like you did to my Zodiark."
Vrannver: "You're right. And do you know who created this white dagger?"
Vrannver asked as he clearly showed the long white dagger in his hand, which looked extremely shiny.
King Lucyver: "Who do you mean?"
Vrannver: "The creator was your mother."
King Lucyver: "What..?!"
How shocked Lucy was when she heard this. When the name of the most precious woman in her life is mentioned among them. Echoing in his hearing.
Vrannver: "This is the last thing your mother left behind, which she has not given you after you have been crowned the next king."
Vrannver said with a deep look in his eyes as he looked at the glittering silver iron in his hand. As if, he was remembering the figure of his beloved late wife.
Vrannver: "This is a special object that your mother created with the aim of protecting her family with the energy of immense love and affection. With the power of such great love, it is able to neutralize the dark energy in any form. And not kill him. That's the power of your mother's love."
King Lucyver: "Why... Dad said all that to me..?"
Lucyver asked who looked very surprised. His voice sounded a little shaky.
Vrannver: "Dad didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I know how much you love your mother. I'll inherit your mother's dagger, once I can confirm one thing from you."
King Lucyver: "What do you want..?"
Lucyver asked in a weak tone, but his facial expression was emotional.
Vrannver: "What you want is to get you ready for one of the greatest possibilities that will happen in the future! If today is the last day I breathe! Then let father do it for our family!"
Without wasting any time, Vrannver darted away quickly. Directly attack Lucyver. Lucyver was shocked at that speed and could only fall silent.
Will this be the end?
「 In Rashvarrina Village 」
A small sewing needle just pierced Yuna's finger to bleed. Making Yuna surprised with a small but very painful stabbing.
Yuna: "Agh..! The pain..."
Yuna put a bloody finger into her mouth. Suck a little of his blood. I hope the pain will decrease.
Yuna went to get her personal medicine box and looked for a piece of wound plaster to bandage her wound. And bandaged his fingers tightly. It was not just one finger that was injured. Three other fingers were also injured.
Yuna: "This is the 3rd time my finger has been pinned. Why am I so careless? Haah..."
Mumbled Yuna who looked sweet as she admitted her carelessness.
Yuna: "Well, I'll rest first."
Yuna got up from her room, walked towards the kitchen to look for something to eat. Suddenly, there was a loud knock. Successfully stole Yuna's attention.
Yuna: "Who is it?"
Yuna asked who was starting to be curious. His steps now turned towards the main door. The sound of knocking to 2 was heard again. I really hope someone behind that door can be opened soon.
Yuna: "Wait a minute..!"
Yuna quickened her pace and immediately opened the door. I was very curious about the person behind the door.
Yuna: "Who?"
Look at the man standing at the door. A young man wearing very neat formal clothes. This young man smiled at Yuna. Her short hair looks neat.
Yuna was very surprised, making both her eyes widen as she deeply recognized the young man before her.
Young Man: "Hi, Yuna. Long time no see. Are you well?"
Yuna: "Keisuke!"
That's how Yuna called it with her happy feelings mixed with haru. He could again see his childhood friend who had been recruited into the security unit in the Rozalian Forstrand Kingdom.
Spontaneously, Yuna directly hugged Keisuke without hesitation. Of course, Keisuke was surprised until his face started to turn red.
Yuna: "It's great to see you again."
Keisuke: "Well, i-yes... Me either... It's good to see you again... Hehe..."
Yuna let go of her embrace and noticed Keisuke's different-looking appearance.
Yuna: "Look at you now, Keisuke? You look different now. You look so handsome in this uniform. You look even taller now. I'm so glad to see it."
Praise Yuna for Keisuke's appearance which looks different compared to before. Keisuke looks embarrassed. But he was very happy to meet his old friend.
Keisuke: "Aah, really? You're exaggerating. Maybe because I practice a lot..."
Said Keisuke with a shy blush, while rubbing the back of his head.
Suddenly, Sasouke who happened to come saw the sight. He felt a little jealous when Yuna hugged the man Sasouke didn't recognize.
Sasouke: "Who's that guy with Yuna?"
Sasouke looked at the young man's face. He also felt he recognized her. And finally, Sasouke realized it quickly. He also knows Keisuke. And approached him directly.
Sasouke: "Keisuke? You're really Keisuke?"
Ask the curious Sasouke. Yuna Dan Keisuke turned to Sasouke. Keisuke was surprised, but he was also happy after seeing Sasouke.
Keisuke: "Hey, Sasouke. Long time no see?"
Sasouke : "Yes. It's been a long time."
Sasouke responded with a gentle smile.
Yuna: "Both of you, go inside. We talk more inside. I'll make you some tea."
Persuade Yuna to Sasouke and Keisuke. Compactly, they also agreed to Yuna's request.
Once inside, they sat in the living room. Accompanied by a cup of tea and a plate of crisp sweet snacks. Keisuke gave a package wrapped in patterned paper that was quite large and looked heavy on Yuna.
Keisuke: "This is for you Yuna."
Jona: "What is this? Looks heavy.."
Yuna was curious about the thing behind the patterned paper.
Keisuke: "Just open it. I'm sure you'll like it."
Refer to Keisuke with a pleased expression while holding his head with the pads of his hands. Yuna opened the patterned paper that wrapped the mysterious object inside slowly and carefully. Sasouke also felt the curiosity.
And open the last layer of wrapping. Yuna was very surprised by the thing that had been wrapped up since. It turned out to be a medium-sized book and it looked thick. The book is titled Mythology and Ancient Legends.
Sasouke: "Oh? It's a pretty big book."
Sasouke was also surprised. Yuna spontaneously showed her happy face when she saw the book even hugging it into her chest.
Yuna: "Thank you very much, Keisuke! I really like it. The title sounds very interesting."
Keisuke : "Hehe's... You welcome. I've always been sure that you'd like it so much."
Yuna: "But, it seems that this book is very expensive. Is it okay?"
Asked Yuna who was starting to feel doubtful and anxious. Keisuke responded with an embarrassed smile, especially after seeing Yuna's sweet anxious face.
Keisuke: "Eeh, don't think about it. Of course, I am raising money from my work now. Even a book like that is nothing. And anyway, since I left, we haven't seen each other in a long time. There's no harm in giving you a gift, is there?"
Reveal Keisuke with all his heart. Makes Yuna's feelings better. And a smile was painted back on Yuna's pretty face.
Yuna: "Then, thank you. I will definitely keep this book from you well."
Keisuke: "Well, good to hear that."
Sasouke: "Hey, Keisuke. Did you not forget to give gifts to other friends? You don't remember us, do you? With me? With uncle Akimiya too? And you remember Yuna better. Know it? I'm jealous."
Sasouke sneered at Keisuke while teasing him with a facial expression of his sinister smile. Of course it managed to make Keisuke panic.
Keisuke: "Gee? Th-that's... Really am! I didn't mean it that way... I-I forgot it... Ehehe... Other times, I will definitely bring something for all of you..!"
Shinjuku: "Ahaha! Relax, Keisuke. I was just kidding, deliberately teasing you. Don't bring feelings! You haven't changed."
Said Sasouke who was happy to tease his friend. Yuna was comforted, holding back her laughter. Keisuke's face turned red in embarrassment.
Keisuke: "O-Ooh! So yeah... Ehehe! I thought you meant it."
Sasouke: "No, I was just kidding. You don't have to bring us all presents. By seeing you return to the village alone, it has already become the best gift for all of us. I'm sure the other friends think the same thing."
It was obviously Sasouke with his smiling face. His words meant a lot to Keisuke. Successfully made Keisuke smile happily as well as moved.
Keisuke: "Well, thank goodness. I am so happy to be back in my hometown. By the way, where's your dad, Yuna?"
Keisuke asked Yuna, then ate the sweet cake in one mouthful.
Yuna: "My father was going to Kaastarrina Village, meeting his friend. He said he'd be home in the morning.
Keisuke: "Well, is that it? But that means you're just keeping the house?"
Asked the anxious Keisuke while chewing on his crisp sweet cake.
Keisuke: "Just calm down, Yuna. When my unit arrives, I can guarantee you security."
Reveal Keisuke confidently.
Sasouke: "Don't be like that, Keisuke. You can make other people jealous because you prioritize Yuna. I can be jealous because of you. Later, others will think that you like Yuna. Is it okay?"
Sasouke sneered at Keisuke again with his suddenly nosy demeanor, while embracing Keisuke's shoulder and while enjoying the crisp sweet cake in his mouth. In any case, it managed to make Keisuke panic. Until his face flushed. Especially after being laughed at by Yuna with a sweet laugh.
Keisuke: "Ti-No! Of course I will put the whole village first! Oh, if that one..."
Keisuke turned his face while playing his fingers in panic and his heart started pounding erratically. Sasouke has always liked teasing Keisuke since long ago. Because of Keisuke's easily carried away feelings. And Yuna knew about it, always managing to keep her entertained.
Yuna: "Sasouke, stop teasing her. By the way, did you just get your day off?"
Keisuke: "You could say that. But the truth is, I'm running a cooperation program between the Varrzanian Kingdom and the Rozalian Forstrand Kingdom to increase the security of the fief."
Sasouke: "Working program? What'sthat?"
Keisuke: "This is a unity exchange program of security units between kingdoms. The selected troops will be sent to the territory of the neighboring kingdom. Just as the Varrzanian Kingdom sent its special forces to one of the fiefdoms of the Rozalian Kingdom of Forstrand, the kingdom in which I worked also sent my units to the territory of the Varrzanian Kingdom. And apparently I did not expect, I was sent to Rashvarrina Village. Of course I feel very enthusiastic about following this program. All at once, I can go home and meet mom and all of you."
Clearly Keisuke with a light explanation. And very excited at the end of the story.
Yuna: "Well, you're lucky to get a good chance."
Keisuke: "Well, that's it."
Sasouke: "So right now, in the village we will be the arrival of units from that kingdom?"
Keisuke: "That's true. A total of 20 people. But actually, they will arrive around this afternoon. That's why I just met with the Village Chief to ask for a temporary residence permit. So that my unit can work as much as possible. Luckily, the Village Chief allowed it."
Obviously Keisuke, while taking his teacup and sipping it quietly.
Sasouke: "Is there anything we can help you with?"
Keisuke: "Well! Of course, Sasouke. That's what I wanted to talk to you about when I came to see you. Of course, it would be very helpful if there was a role from the entire Rashvarrina Village. Especially for men. You can help my unit by mapping Rashvarrina Village. So that we can easily explore this village. If only by relying on me, I find it difficult."
Keisuke clearly brightly.
Sasouke: "Just calm down. I'll bring the others along too. They'll be happy to help your unit."
Keisuke: "Well! I became very helped. Thank you, Sasouke."
Seeing the familiarity of the two, Yuna felt very happy in her heart. He felt very lucky to have friends like them.2 The good man who had filled Yuna's heart that was once filled with clouds of sadness, was now replaced with the sun of happiness. It is like the spring that comes after winter has passed.
Yuna ("How could I possibly disturb the familiarity of these 2 men... I'm very happy with them..").
Without feeling, because of this nostalgic chatter, it makes time go by so quickly.
Yuna: "Keisuke, have dinner with me. You too, Sasouke. You guys don't refuse."
Keisuke: "Well! Of course I want to. I miss your cooking too. If it doesn't bother you."
Reply to the enthusiastic Keisuke despite the embarrassment.
Sasouke: "Well, I want to."
Yuna: "Then, I'll be out for a while to buy some extra ingredients."
Yuna stood up from her chair.
Keisuke: "Ohalone? You want us to accompany you?"
Keisuke asked who was a little anxious, as well as Sasouke.
Yuna: "It's okay. Just for a second. You two stay here and continue the chat."
Sasouke: "Are you sure, Yuna?"
Ask from Sasouke. As if he felt something.
Yuna: "Of course. Don'worry. I'll be right back."
Yuna left, leaving behind a smile and her 2 childhood friends. But inevitably, Keisuke and Sasouke must accept Yuna's decision and trust her.
Sasouke: "Keisuke, I want to know. Is it difficult to get into the units of the royal army?"
Keisuke: "Hmm, I can tell you it's pretty hard. It's hard because you have to pass all the selection tests. In the Rozalian Forstrand Kingdom for example, just relying on physical strength alone, it wouldn't be enough, if you didn't pass the science test."
Sasouke: "Is it really like that?"
Keisuke: "That's the rule of his selection. But it depends what unit you want to get into. The rules will be different again. Like if you want to get into a regular army unit, you don't need a good physique. Because you're going to do hard training every day. Which of course, aims to turn someone weak into a brave."
Sasouke: "Then, how did you finally get into the royal security unit?"
Keisuke: "Ah, actually it was my old ideal. Actually, I failed the test many times. And finally, I was accepted into the regular army section for 3 years. And undergo very hard training. Then, after I heard the announcement of the reopening of recruits in that part of the unit, I tried to follow him. And fortunately, I was helped by my friend who was also officially recruited in the unit. And until now."
Keisuke told an emotional story while reminiscing about his many struggles.
Sasouke : "Waaahh... You fought so hard. But in the end, you deserve the best, don't you?"
Praise Sasouke. Keisuke immediately blushed in embarrassment, rubbing the back of his head.
Keisuke: "Well, you're overreacting, Sasouke."
Sasouke: "But didn't I ever hear that you were going to enlist in the Varrzanian Kingdom?"
Keisuke: "Oh, that's right. In the past, I wanted to register there, because it was close to home. But apparently, their selection was very strict. Obviously, I'll never graduate."
Reveal Keisuke with a smile in his day. Sasouke felt disbelief.
Sasouke: "Is it really that hard?"
Keisuke: "Well, I don't know why either. When suddenly came a woman with long, black hair, with a cold gaze saying that if you want to join the Varrzanian Kingdom, you must have strength that is not just physical strength!"
Clearly Keisuke, while mimicking the style of speech of the woman he had seen. After recalling it, it instantly made Keisuke's spirit instantly fall.
Keisuke : "Aaaah... Clearly, with such a cold gaze, whichever one could pass easily. But you know, don't you? Even so, the Varrzanian Kingdom is a highly respected kingdom, even other kingdoms are very enthusiastic to establish a close relationship with him."
Sasouke: "Yes, I also think about the Varrzanian Kingdom. Because thanks to the king, our village can become a bush now. Heem... Like that huh life became an ordinary royal warrior?"
Sasouke responded after hearing Keisuke's explanation. His face was slightly bowed, while looking at the surface of the tea water inside his cup. A little smile on his face. Keisuke began to realize something.
Keisuke: "Sorry, Sasouke. You want to talk about this, did you think about entering the royal army academy?"
Keisuke asked who was starting to get curious.
Sasouke: "Well, no. I just want to know. Just a little curious."
Sasouke replied with a relaxed facial expression. Although Keisuke had thought in that direction, but he also accepted the reason Sasouke. However, somehow Sasouke's true heart.
「 Somewhere In Rashvarrina Village 」
Meanwhile, Yuna had just finished shopping for the little extra ingredients she would make for dinner together with her 2 childhood friends.
Yuna: "It seems, I've been gone too long. Why is my shopping so much? Hehe, it seems like it's because I'm too happy. I hope I don't keep them waiting."
Suddenly, at the end of a small bridge, a man was seen sitting on the bridge's guardrail. Yuna recognized this young man. It was Yukito. Yuna's steps stopped. Yukito stood up from his place.
Yuna: "Oh, Yukito?"
Yukito: "Hey, Yuna. Looks like you just bought something. And today, you look so beautiful."
Sapa Yukito with a gentle smile held her captive, while praising Yuna's beauty. Successfully made Yuna become embarrassed behind her smile.
Yuna: "You're overreacting, Yukito."
Yukito: "Don't turn it down, because I'm telling the truth. Do you want to know what I'm doing here?"
Ask Yukito by putting up his charm.
Yuna: "Indeed, what are you doing here?"
Yukito: "I'm here, waiting for you..."
Yukito replied in a gentle tone, successfully leaving Yuna confused.
But suddenly, there was a white cloth on top of someone's hand that quickly covered Yuna's mouth and nose from behind. Yuna was surprised. But the hand kept silencing Yuna's mouth without giving her a crack making a sound. Yuna was panicking. He hoped Yukito would help him. But this bespectacled man only fell silent with a smiling face.
The longer, Yuna's consciousness decreased. And it feels heavy. Until finally, Yuna was unconscious. Everything went dark. Without even a single sound. His whole body felt heavy, but his head felt light. What happened to Yuna?
「 The Imperial Sword Hall 」
Lucyver was visibly shocked by the sudden strong feeling he felt in his eternal heart. Like a small painful prick. Makes his focus less. Which actually has opened a little gap in the entry of the attack from Vrannver. But luckily, Lucyver was still able to dodge the quick attack. And just scratched a little bit of his facial skin.
The father did not give him a little pause. He made the next quick attack. Lucyver restrains Vrannver's long sword with both swords. Made it go far back.
Quite unexpectedly, both of them did not look exhausted in the slightest. That was one of the advantages of the Vortexian lineage in terms of stamina that was far superior to any creature.
Vrannver noticed the expression of his son who had been unfocused.
Vrannver: "Why don't you focus on yourself? I can see it. You might lose yourself. Don't show your weakness under any circumstances! Never forget that!"
Vrannver said in a firm voice, as he raised the tip of his sword towards Lucyver standing up.
King Lucyver: "Sure, dad. I never forgot it."
Reply Lucyver by showing a face full of confidence so that the Former King in front of him believes.
Lucyver held his left chest. He began to be haunted by confusion because of a strong and awkward feeling that came to him in the middle of his battle. But lucky, Lucyver can still handle it immediately. If it was a little too late, then Vrannver's pride long sword would pierce through his body quickly.
Lucyver was trying to understand what had just happened.
King Lucyver ("What feelings have just come..? It feels so painful. I feel like I can feel someone's suffering... Is it because a small part of my eternal heart is also inherited by the mother's heart which has sensitivity to the suffering of others? If that's true, why did I just feel it? What exactly happened?")
Lucyver looked into his hand. Suddenly, Vrannver had already returned to attack Lucyver quickly. Lucyver only realized it and immediately repelled the sudden attack. Eye contact full of seriousness from Vrannver was inevitable.
Vrannver: "What is troubling you right now, my son? You can easily be killed by your enemies!"
King Lucyver: "No, dad!"
Vrannver: "Don't you dare lie to your father, Lucyver! How could you possibly protect your precious Tied Matchmaker with such an attitude?!"
Vrannver said emotionally. How not? A father can certainly read the feelings of his son even though they try to hide it well. This is the form of affection of a Vrannver behind his cold face and his very high style of discipline.
Lucy was very surprised by this. It felt like a sharp knife was directly pierced right into his chest. Painful.
King Lucyver: "Why father-?"
Vrannver unleashed power on his sword, successfully sending Lucyver bouncing away. Lucyver tried to hold him back by sticking his 2 swords into the ground to stop him from retreating further and further.
Lucyver realizes his mistake of losing his focus. Face bowed. He was disappointed in himself. But the painful sensation in his eternal heart was still felt.
Vrannver turned his sword, while walking towards Lucyver who was still kneeling. His face looks cold.
Vrannver: "Never forget everything I taught you! My teaching is not just about making you the greatest, the best and the strongest king. But, more than that. Where can you be a king who is able to protect not only our descendants, our country and our kingdom that has been consistently built by our great-grandfathers! But also to protect a family that is precious to you! Including, the future Queen Varrzanian who will accompany you in the future! Your Tied Up Fool!"
Lucyver was shocked by all of his father's words. Now, it's like being hit by dozens of sharp knives.
Vrannver: "Do you think, with your abilities now you can overcome your HALF-BROTHER?! You will be helpless until your Tied Matchmaker falls into his hands! And all that your father and mother have sacrificed will be for naught!!! Did you hear?!!"
Vrannver shouted with the most clear and emotional tone of decisiveness. But of course he did it because he loved his son. It is with great hope that his son can rise again and grow into the best king of the best as Vrannver had hoped.
Lucyver was silent because he was again surprised by a bitter justification. Even when the name of the man who did not want to be named, Vrannver mentioned it loudly and echoed. Plus the name of the beloved mother who was also mentioned.
Of course, it managed to make Lucyver more emotional than before. Creating a dilemma inside his chest. But he understood, that it was unyielding for him to give up and fail.
Lucyver stood with both feet while pulling out his 2 swords that stuck with all his might. His face changed instantly. Both of his red eyes grew sharper. Showing his cold light.
King Lucyver: "Of course, I heard it. Daddy's! And sorry, I.. REFUSE TO FAIL!"
Lucyver's determination along with the awakening of determination in his soul. Vrannver smiled cynically. He was satisfied with his son's attitude as well as his determination.
Vrannver: "It's good, my son! Now, prove it to your father and mother! Also to the ancestors of the Vortexians! Prove it to HIM too! That you... WHO IS MORE WORTHY OF BEING THE KING OF VARRZANIAN!!!"
His voice echoed throughout. Suddenly, a pitch-black aura emerged from Vrannver's body along with a huge surge of power. Both of his eyes were getting red.
Vrannver: "Dispose of your doubts! And face!"
A surge of power came out suddenly again. Slip down the entire surface. But it didn't make Lucyver flinch in the least.
Suddenly, from behind Vrannver appeared a pair of black hairy wings with a long sharp horn at the base of 2 wings. The shape of the long sword looks more different and blackish in color.
Vrannver: "Do it for your future!"
Vrannver raised the tip of his sword before Lucyver. Lucyver knows what he has to do. From Lucyver's body came a pitch-black aura. His black Myhtril wings reappeared and unfurled them freely. Lucyver crossed his 2 swords. Both of his eyes glowed more red.
King Lucyver: "I'll do it! Daddy!"
Vrannver started his attack early. He moved his body quickly. Lucyver did the same. Until there was a very strong clash between the iron of the sword with a loud. It creates a huge wind wave.
This time, the level of the fight had changed. Is life at stake this time?
「 In Yuna's House 」
Meanwhile, Keisuke and Sasouke are still waiting for Yuna's return. But they realized, Yuna's departure was too long. They start to get bored, but rather they start to worry about it.
Keisuke : "Oh... Why is Yuna so long? Is the distance to the store that far?"
Complain Keisuke while holding his face with both hands.
Sasouke : "No. It should only take 10 minutes."
Sasouke began to worry about something. His feeling began to run. While thinking about Yuna. He hoped, nothing bad happened with Yuna.
Keisuke: "If it's like that, it's been almost 2 hours after Yuna left. Did nothing happen? If you know like this, I shouldn't have agreed with his idea of going alone."
Said Keisuke who was also starting to worry about Yuna who had not returned. Even blaming himself.
Sasouke: "I don't know if you're going to believe, I feel something strange. We need to find Yuna now!"
Take Sasouke with a serious expression. Because of his words, Keisuke increasingly felt anxious and agreed with Sasouke's idea.
They left Yuna's house and began to follow Yuna. Sasouke pointed his way, Keisuke followed him. However, the road that Yuna used to walk through was being damaged.
Keisuke: "Auh? There is road repair. Then what, Sasouke?"
Sasouke: "There is still one other way. Come on, come with me."
So they took another path. A little further than the first road.
They arrive at the grocery store, where Yuna starts shopping there. A middle-aged, fat-bodied female guard they met. And started asking about Yuna. The shopkeeper was surprised.
Shop Keeper: "Yuna huh? Yes, Yuna is shopping here. He shops a lot. He said he wanted to cook for 2 of his friends. That was about 1 and a half hours ago. After that, he went straight home. That's it."
Sasouke: "Well, is that so? Thank you so much, yes, Auntie."
Sasouke replied with a smiling face. Of course, so that the shopkeeper woman did not become anxious and suspicious.
They leave the store and begin to trace Yuna after shopping. Thanks to his work experience in the royal security unit unit, Keisuke's intuition is called. To find the truth.
Keisuke: "If the shopkeeper's aunt is right, Yuna should be on her way home."
Sasouke: "It should be so. Then, let's try to track it halfway."
Keisuke: "Good!"
They continued their search. Hope to find one important clue. Along the way, they kept looking around. But so far, they have not found any clues as they begin to stop at a small bridge.
Keisuke: "There's not a single clue, Sasouke."
Sasouke: "You're right."
Keisuke: "Then, how? If this is the only path Yuna goes through, it is only on this path that Yuna begins to disappear."
Sasouke: "It should be so."
Keisuke: "Haahh, where is Yuna really? I'm getting anxious."
Said Keisuke trying to think of his greatest possibility, but mixed with his anxiety. Same with Sasouke.
Spontaneously, Sasouke noticed something on the surface of the road just below his feet. A trail above the ground that looks suspicious.
Sasouke: "Keisuke, take a look at this."
Sasouke pointed out his findings. The two squatted down together and began to notice the trail's findings. Keisuke's intuition began to rise. The face becomes very serious.
Keisuke: "This is a trail. You see? There are 2 types of traces. Looks like there are 2 people here. Here and here."
Clearly Keisuke while showing it. Sasouke was paying attention
Keisuke: "But watch this trail. The pattern is irregular. Although it almost looks like a trail next to it. But this trail, looks like someone trying to fight on the spot. Meaning..."
Suddenly, Sasouke realized something that made him very surprised
Sasouke: "There's someone who attacked Yuna!"
Keisuke was similarly surprised. He was also thinking in the same direction.
Keisuke: "Oh, no! Who could do that? Do you have any ideas, Sasouke? Is there someone who hates Yuna or something in this village?"
Sasouke: "I'm not sure. As we both know, Yuna never had any enemies. Yuna was always friendly to anyone. But, if you're referring to someone who hates Yuna, it's possible..."
Suddenly, Sasouke thought of one young woman who had once admitted that she hated Yuna. It was Aomizaki Kishida. Is that possible?
Thinking of the possibility, Sasouke became even more suspicious of it.
Sasouke: "Is he really?"
Keisuke: "Who do you mean? You know someone?"
Keisuke was lured with Sasouke's deduction in his head.
Sasouke: "I thought of someone. But I'm not so sure he's gonna do anything this close. But on the eve of the Cellestina festival that time, she even admitted it."
Sasouke could still remember Kishida's expression on the night of the festival. How he explains this feeling that does not like Yuna even though it is only visible from the look of her eyes. Keisuke was curious.
Keisuke: "Who is he? Just say it, Sasouke. We'll try to interrogate him if that's possible. It's for Yuna's safety."
Sasouke: "You're right. Then we'll see him soon! Though I'm not sure we'll succeed in such a subtle way!"
Sasouke looked serious because of Keisuke's persuasion. They immediately went to the place of someone who might be the main suspect. And hope to meet the bright spot.
「 Somewhere Unknown 」
Man's Voice: "Yuna... Yuna..? Can you hear me?"
Faintly, Yuna could hear the voice of a young man. His head felt heavy, like it was spinning. Yuna could feel the hand of someone stroking her face gently.
Man's Voice: "Do you want to wake up now? I know you can hear me."
Yuna: "Who..?"
Although it still felt heavy, Yuna tried to open her 2 eyes to find out who the young man always called her name. Yuna was a little aware of the voice. He recognized.
But his sight is still blurred. All that was seen was a young man covered in a black shadow.
Yuna: "Who are you..?"
Mysterious Young Man: "Without introducing myself, you know who I am."
The young man slowly straightened his body, leading to a light entering the dark room. Slowly, the young man's face began to be clearly visible after the entire light illuminated him. He smiles.
Yuna was very surprised by the original figure of the young man before her, even though her head still felt heavy. He did not believe what he saw.
Who is this young man?
