After everyone finishes packing their belongings, they move out of the resthouse. One carriage with four strong horses was seen outside with Agi leaning against it.
"Kairi, how are you?" Agi approached Kairi after seeing him being carried out by Rafiz on his back.
He saw what happened through Aries's help.
"I should have not left them that time..." He felt remorseful.
But, he was very grateful to Rafiz. He never thought a Deorc Star user would be caring for their leader and willingly betrayed his organisation for his sake.
"He must have known that Kairi was Bright Star's leader for a long time... But, why would he protect him?" He thought.
"Rafiz..." Kairi called in a trembling voice."Yes?" Replied Rafiz who was next to him.Suddenly the sound of something loud startled them both."Why choose this dark road?!"Rafiz turns to him with one raised eyebrow."What do you mean? Aren't you the one who chose to go through here?" Rafiz was confused.A few hours ago..."Guys, why are we stopping here? By the way, which road goes to Antonia?"Kairi and his friends stop suddenly in front of two roads. 
"Rafiz..." Kairi called again in a shaking voice."What else?" Rafiz was bored of hearing his name."I'm hungry."His stomach rumbled and could not stand it anymore. Rafiz rolled his eyes but he still took out an apple from his bag and fed it to Kairi."Please be patient. We don't know how long we will be here. We need to save some food.""I know! Thank you, Rafiz!" Kairi nodded and took a bite of the apple."Hey, don't eat my hand too!" Rafiz was angry when Kairi accidentally bit his finger."How big is this boy's mouth?" He thought.
Kairi and Rafiz walked side by side. Ever since going through the challenge in the dark forest, they have become accustomed to it and are no longer intimidated by the atmosphere. When they got somewhere, they stopped."We're resting here." Rafiz sat on a large rock."Okay. Finally, we've arrived." He could see Antonia's city wall."Even then, we're not sure if our test is over or not. Be more ready after we enter," told Rafiz.Kairi nodded. Later, Rafiz removed the remaining supplies. They both still were alert to their surroundings while enjoying the meal. After the meal, they closed their eyes to rest.They only sleep lightly because they do not want to b
"Madam Perseus! Madam Perseus!"Aries, Agi, and Libra were alarmed after seeing Perseus look not quite right.Perseus has been glued to her seat with her eyes losing their cheerfulness. She was like a statue. They notice it after the appearance of Dark Kurumi.A violent push from outside the door shocks them. The door crashed to the wall opposite it. Leo entered the room and strode toward his wife with very cold eyes. His angry footsteps sounded in the room.Aries and her friends didn't dare make a sound or breathe roughly at the sight of their furious general. They were afraid that if they moved even a bit they might get killed by him accidentally. Awoken from his sleep, Kairi looks around his new room. No, it should be called his sleeping chamber.It was spacious, enough to fit a hundred people in it. His bed alone could fit ten to twenty people."This still felt unreal..."Thinking quietly, someone beside him moves near the bed."Your Majesty, breakfast has been prepared. Please."A royal maid, Aerith Nockto, was servicing him. She was appointed to him after Leo confirmed his identity through the last test.BLOODY FRIENDSHIP CHAPTER 26: THE FINAL TEST (1)
"I'm worried now..." Rafiz stared at the battle between Kairi and Pegasus."I understand you. It's been three hours already!" Virgo looked bored."When are they going to finish this?" Cygnus turned to Libra and then to Eridanus. His eyes twitched."Eridanus, wake up! This is not a place for you to take a nap!" He scolded in a low voice.Unknowingly to them, Eridanus had dozed off for a while now. As they said, Kairi and Pegasus have been battling for almost three hours. No wonder some people fell asleep. Contrary to Eridanus who openly sleeps with his face exposed, some knights have their helmets to hide their shuteye.As for the combatants, tiredness can b
After Agi healed Rafiz again, Leo and Perseus went near Kairi."You have proven to us and so, we welcome you home, Queen Siarah's heir," Leo bowed respectively to Kairi as he went down to one knee.Perseus and others follow after his action.Together, they shout, "Welcome home, Your Majesty!"Kairi was stunned. He was so overwhelmed by their acknowledgement. Suddenly, a soft blowing wind gathers and surrounds him. Kairi felt the magical call from the palace and looked there.Someone whispered in his ears and to him alone."My heir... Welcome home..." Kairi sighed as he leaned back against a long stone chair. A small lake was in front of him. At the moment, he was in the palace garden.The moon above him illuminated the beautiful scenery in front. Far away over the lake, he could see the hills. He closed his eyes while listening to the night music. It felt so peaceful here...Alone by himself.Actually, he did something that would be scolded by all his friends. He had exited from his chamber on the fortieth floor, through its balcony. If it were not for Rafiz's knowledge and teachings, he wouldn't have dared to come down while clinging to any area that he could step on and hold tight to it.But the breeze was nice up there. Especially at night. He griBLOODY FRIENDSHIP CHAPTER 29: A SPECIAL DAY
