King Romeus then called some castle guards to accompany Princess Remina’s visit around the kingdom. He even asked one of the town criers to make an announcement to the people of Nousant before the carriage left the castle.

“Hear ye, hear ye!“ the town crier called as he swung the bell, creating chimes that attracts people’s attention. “Princess Remina has been cured, and she wishes to see all of the Nousant people!”

The news spread quickly like wildfire. Soon, people were lining up at the curbside and prepared to greet their crown princess even though the carriage was still quite far. Along the way, Remina peeked her head out and noticed how her kingdom had changed. A few unfamiliar buildings could be seen towering above any other places in the kingdom. She questioned to herself, “what are those?”

As the carriage passed in the road where the people gathered, they cheered out loud and waved their hands to Remina. The princess who sat inside the vehicle wave

    The carriage had arrived safely at the Nousant castle. With the help of her maids, Remina jumped from the vehicle followed by Helene. The saintess then politely bowed down to the princess and said, “Princess Remina, I excuse myself to go back to the sorcery school.”Remina nodded and smiled tenderly. “Thank you for escorting me, Helene. Be careful. Do you need some guards to come with you along the way?”“It’s very kind of you, Princess,” Helene said, then shook her head. “But you don’t have to do that. I’ll be just fine”The saintess then walked herself back to the place where she should be. Now Remina was alone since Helene left, and the solitude brought her to the thought of Alex. After seeing what that young man did to help the kingdom prosper, the princess couldn't stop thinking about giving him some appreciation and respect.“Princess?” a call from one of the royal guards woke Remina from her reverie. “Are you all right? It seems like you’re thinking about something.”Remina qui

    It seemed like Remina was immersed deeply in watching the training session at the military camp. A royal guard leaned toward her and whispered, “I apologize, Princess, but it’s almost time for you to get back to the castle.”Hearing those words, Remina was a bit reluctant to leave the scene, but she had a feeling that King Romeus had been asking for her to get back. She sighed a bit then responded quietly, “give me a few minutes.”The guard then nodded while still standing beside her to be on the alert when the princess asked him to. Remina kept her promise, and not long after that, she stood up which made everyone on the military field stop the training. Noticing this, Alex came to her and asked, “are you going now, Princess Remina?”Seeing Alex there, Remina politely responded, “I’m afraid so, the king might look for me if I leave the castle for too long.”“Let me accompany you until the front gate,” Alex offered and made the princess flutter a

    That same evening, Hector rushed toward the royal advisor’s residence. Beads of sweat began to form around his forehead despite the chilly breezing wind. Upon arriving at the front door, the man knocked at it several times as he looked around, seeming paranoid and frantic. He waited for Horat to answer the knock as he muttered something incoherent under his breath.“Ugh, who could that be?” Horat groaned as he rose up from his seating to look at the person who knocked at the door. As he peeked from the window, Horat could see it was Hector who had come by, panic-stricken. As soon as he unlocked the door, his friend rushed inside and shut the door close before dragging Horat’s hand in panic.“What’s wrong with you?” he asked, half-whispering.Hector didn’t answer his friend’s question quickly since he was trembling heavily. He then sat on the couch staring at Horat with a worried look. “We should leave this place soon, Horat.”The royal advisor’s son nearly raised his voice after heari

    Remina was sitting by herself at the desk, just finished the invitation for dinner. She waited for the ink to seep into the paper and dry entirely, then put it inside a grandiose envelope. She had decided to invite the hero for a dinner tonight, although it seemed a bit rushed. The thought of seeing Alex made her blush a little, she already felt tens of butterflies fluttering inside her stomach.The princess then handed the envelope to one of her trusty maids before saying, "please deliver this to Alex, I invite him for a dinner in this castle tonight."The maid then set out to Alex’s residence to send the invitation, accompanied by two guards. Arrived at the door, she knocked twice and waited for a moment. A rustling key sound was heard from the inside, followed by the creaking door that revealed the hero behind it.“Sir Alex, you have a dinner invitation tonight from Princess Remina.” the maid extended her arms to give the envelope to Alex. “You’re speci

    By the time the sun had already set, Remina's maids were rushing into the kitchen, preparing the dinner banquet. The dinner won't take place in the main room since Remina wanted to have an intimate moment with Alex, so they used the smaller dining room in the castle that hadn't been used for quite some time."Have you dusted the chairs?" The princess asked one of the maids."Yes, Princess," she responded politely.Remina seemed satisfied, but somehow a glimpse of worry emerged from her eyes. She tapped the maid's shoulder and said, "go on, I think the cobwebs on the corners of this room need to go as well."The maid nodded before continuing to dust off the other area of the room. Other maids could be seen setting up the candelabras and lighting the candles, creating a romantic atmosphere. One of the maids spread a white tablecloth over the rounded table that was sat just by the tinted window. After that, a flower arrangement made from red roses and a baby's breath was put on the cente

    Back at the house where Alex and his hero party resided, his friends were relaxing and enjoying each other’s company after a long day of training. Germio and Rasheed did arm wrestle while Salieri became the referee.“Tres, dos, uno! Germio, you lose!” Salieri shouted and grabbed Rasheed’s arm, then announced it loud and proud, “and the winner is Rasheed!”“Dang it! I have to pay for his food for the next week,” Germio mumbled as Rashed laughed in joy.The bard then noticed that Stella was sitting by herself, unlike Pandora that made conversation with Vincent. Salieri then called and teased her, “ey, Stella? Why are you quiet? Do you miss Alex?”Hearing Alex’s name, the elf girl could feel her cheeks getting warmer, but she was too stubborn to admit it. She glared at Salieri and replied coldly, “cut it off, Salieri.”Germio’s bitterness after losing the arm wrestle faded when he noticed that Salieri was poking fun at the elf. He jumped int

    At the castle, Remina and Alex almost finished the delicious dinner. The princess patted her mouth with a napkin after finishing her meal. She gazed at the hero who was still enjoying the meal and smiled.“Thank you for coming, Alex,” Remina politely said.“I should be the one who says that, Princess.” Alex bowed her head after devouring the last chunk of the meal, then continued to say, “it’s an honor to spend a night with you, but I’m afraid I have to leave now. My friends would find me if I came late.”Remina pouted and looked sad. She refused to believe that her time with Alex should end now. The princess shook her head after thinking of a way to stall the time. “Why don't you stay for a while and accompany me to stroll for a while in the garden nearby? My royal physician says that it's not good to rest directly after eating since the food needs to be digested.”Hearing what Remina just said, Alex's laughter bursted. The way this lady talked about her physical appearance never cha

    Alex couldn’t lie to himself, admitting that he indeed missed his lover. Even though this Remina didn’t have the same memories like him, Alex’s heart still belongs to her.He then half-whispered to Remina, “let’s go to the gazebo, shall we?”Alex helped Remina to get into the gazebo that looked over to the pond. He then reached into his pocket and found a piece of bread inside. The hero then offered, “I happen to have some bread in my pocket. Do you want to feed the fish?”Remina nodded and received some breadcrumbs that Alex gave. She then spreaded the crumbs to the water, causing tens of koi in the pond to swarm and took every crumb with nothing left. She giggled then looked at Alex. “Careful, they might splash.”The man then gave some more of the bread to Remina. A slight graze was made when he handed the bread piece to the princess and Alex got butterflies inside his stomach. The memory of his time with Remina as a couple in the past life stil

    As the group anxiously waiting by the side of the poisonous river, Mephisto’s conditions turns to worse. Helene and Merith are doing their hardest to treat Mephisto but to no avail. The bedridden bird can only hacks and coughs despite their best effort, signaling that the treatment from Helene and Marion didn’t work as expected.“Kween...” Chirp Mephisto weakly.“Meppy! Meppy! Stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me yet.” Stella cries as she hugs Mephisto.As they argued, a giant shadow suddenly emerged out of river with a splash and lands in their vicinity. It was Marion that jumped out of water. On his side, he is holding a creature with a weird body shape, resembling an eel with whiskers and a bloated stomach.“Here is the Lele fish!” Marion shows everybody his catch.

    The Cure for Mephisto

    “You’re not doing much of a help, Helene! You know what? You’re a useless saintess!”Stella’s angered words were still spinning inside the saintess thoughts. Her pride was hurt seeing that she couldn’t heal Mephisto and Stella was disappointed in her. Despite the harsh truth, Helene decided to try again after several unsuccessful attempts.“Helene, don’t go too hard on yourself,” Pandora reminded her.“I don’t,” replied the saintess quickly, her hands still busy pressing Mephisto’s weakening body with all of her might. “I just have to … heal Mephisto and prove that I’m a worthy member of this time.”“We are all valuable and worthy, no one is superior to others,” responded Alex, “take it slow, Helene. Don’t rush.”Seeing Helene’s work in vain, Pandora decided to leave the scene and inspect the waterfall. As she peered from above, her eyes caught something long and dark wiggling underneath. The witch sharpened her sight and noticed that it

    New Path

    Every hero party member was now relieved after being trapped inside the maze-like, magic forest. As Alex looked up at the darkened sky and the sun was already on the western horizon, he realized they'd spent hours figuring out the escape."Gosh, how long have we been there?" he said with surprise.“Ah, finalmente!” Salieri exclaimed, plopping himself to the grassy ground and stretching his feet. “My legs are sore from walking for days and I can feel my feet blistering.”“Just man up and don’t exaggerate, you limp man” Germio replied, as always being grumpy. “We’ve been there only for a few hours.”As the rest of the group rested and gained some energy, Stella looked around and examined the new surrounding. All the elf girl saw was just an expanse of green meadow, but her keen hearing sensed something more. She quickly took a turn to the opposite side of the sun, following the stone path. It was slightly slippery from the moss that grew on almost e

    Lost in the Forest

    They have been walking for around an hour now and yet they could not find any sign of exit. The party began to feel tired.“Sir Alex. Everyone is tired. Should we take a break?” Helene looked worried. She could feel Pandoran and the merfolks began to catch their breath.“Just a little more. Resting in the forest and got lost might be a bad idea. We need to find the exit soon.” Alex demanded the team to keep walking more because as far as he could remember, there was a forest that could trap them for days. Alex’s memory was quiet blurry at that time but one thing for sure that when he decided to take a rest in a certain forest, on the next day they were trapped for more than one day.The others nodded in agreement because they believed in Alex’s decision. So, they tried their best to continue walking while following the hero.More minutes have passed and they were still wandering around the foggy forest.

The fog was not so thick and they could see the road in sight. They might arrived in a new area and new enemies might appear anytime soon.“Hmm, this forest give me a chill.”Pandora commented. It seemed like she could sense something.“What is it, Pan? Do you sense any enemy?” Alex asked. He was leading the team by walking in front line.“I’m not sure. I just feel like something is bothering me.” Pandora still could not clearly stated what she felt once she came into this foggy forest. She tried to find out herself.As they kept on walking further, they could hear a sound like a giggle.“Hey, elf girl. What are you giggling about?” Germio looked at Stella suspecting her for being the one who giggled. The sound was indeed like a little girl and it fit he

    First Obstacle

    It took almost a day until Alex and his party arrived in Tiryag continent. The ship was anchored near a beach that looked gloomy with eerie atmosphere. There was no sign of lives as far as they tried to search around it. However, they could feel uneasiness when they tried to see the forest right in front of them. Soon after that, they decided to explore the continent by going forward to that forest hoping that they could find some clues about how to locate the Demon King.The large group were walking peacefully without encountering something dangerous at that moment. But soon, they might find themselves surrounded with uncertain dangers and challenges ahead.“Rasheed, are you alright?” Alex asked after reading the expression of that big fella that turned discouraged. Despite of Rasheed’s big body, that expression did not really suit him. Moreover, Alex could remember something about his past life when he stepped into Tiryag along with his hero party. He believed th

    “Avast ye, ye filthy camper! ‘Twas so cowardly of you to launch a sneak attack like that!” cursed Jillaab. He aimed his remark at the ocean, suspecting that the assault just now came from down there.That statement resulted in a twin pillars of water forming from the seemingly calm waves. And from within those pillars, two blue shadows appeared and landed on board.“Shiver me timbers! ‘Tis the Wow Warriors!” exclaimed Balastar, finding it hard to see two humanoid fishes walking towards him with two legs. “I thought it was just a myth!”“Wow Warriors?” asked Pandora. It was clearly merfolks that they saw in front of them. “Is that how you guys call merfolks?”“Young lass, we have no idea what this merfolk yer’ talking about, but the Wow Warriors we’re referring to is a stuff of legend, used to be told as a nighttime scary stories!” replied Jillaab, equally in awe with his comrade.“Aye, that be true, matey! Many a sailor have told tales of their terrifying encounters with the Wow Warri

    New Arrival

    It had been less than an hour since the ship departed the port, but the debate had been going nonstop. The main topic was caused by Alex’s rash decision to recruit the two pirates who appeared out of nowhere.“Al, have you lost your mind?” protested Pandora. “We don’t know about these two dirty guys and you just casually invited them aboard? On top of that, you entrusted them with the wheel!”“Not to mention that sinister-looking parrot, Alex!” Stella took on Pandora’s side. “This ship is too small for two birds. Mephy should be the only one on board!”Alex, on the other hand, didn’t directly entertain their banter. Instead, he just stood there, allowing each of his crews to vent their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile Jillaab and Balastar were having a god round of the ship, amazed by the beauty they laid their eyes upon."Ahoy there! Ye lot be blessed enough to sail the virgin ocean on this beauty, yet ye still find time to argue? Ye should be grateful for this adventure and enjoy the jour

    Figure of Speech

    “What’s wrong, Alex?” asked the King. “Where did all of your previous enthusiasm go?”“Your Majesty, I would love to do as just what you told me. But steering the ship is something out of my realm of capabilities.” Alex chose his words carefully not to displease the King. “I’ve been looking around for a while, but never did once I saw someone tending the ship.”Frown appeared in King Romeus’ forehead. “Didn’t you subdue the pirates before here in this very place? I thought you were no stranger to command a ship?”“Yeah, but that time a good person came to my aid,” argued Alex, his eyes were scanning the surrounding and by a pure stroke of luck, he locked his view on his aforementioned lifesaver. “Speak of the devil, that was the man!”Hamith, being pointed out by Alex, smiled and waved at his old companion, approaching him lightly. “Sir Hero, I have heard that there would be a grand farewell of the heroes here on the port, so I made my way here. And boy am I honored to know that you s
