DICE [30]
Who knows, during his journey to find and save his mother, Gala also thinks about his father. Although it's difficult for Gala to sympathize with his father. Perhaps because Gala's memories of Xavier are very few and not too sweet, that's why Gala doesn't like to talk about Xavier too much.Back at that casual dinner, Selena soon invited Gala to enter the bar. Selena was the one who warned Gala not to get drunk, but guess what? If only Dice could come out of the die, perhaps a string of curses would have been uttered for Selena, that shameless girl. According to Dice, Selena is quite repulsive as a woman. Openly hanging onto Gala, who looks even more handsome with his appearance tonight. Dice remembers how Selena's face almost drooled at the car parked in front of her house when he picked her up.Oh my.Women are all the same, thinks Dice. She wanted to warn her master to be careful, but really, Dice does need Selena's presence. It feels so unlucky."She's so heavy," Gala complains wh

Not once or twice did Gala look back to where he left Selena and Mike. But Dice kept urging him to walk fast. Whatever she had on her feet, her pace became faster. Or was there something in her shoe soles? Yet Gala's mind was left with these two people he just met. What's their fate? Will they get caught?"Don't worry, sir. They're safe," Dice says while continuing to manipulate her system. Alexander didn't take it lightly, blocking everything she did earlier, although for a split second, she got information about Bellamie Rosaline. Everything has been secured in a file that is not easily penetrated."How can I be calm, Dice? After so many troops headed to that room?" Gala grumbles in frustration. He looks back again. Nothing visible except darkness. He also doesn't know where his glasses are that showed the direction he had to take."I'll give you the final description of both of them later, sir. Let's cross that valley first."Gala stops for a moment. "Valley?"Before he finishes as

Alex rushes into the mansion. His steps are in a hurry, paying no mind to whatever obstacles in his way. The noise caused by Alex's hurried steps creates a commotion on its own. Regardless of the pain, Alex keeps moving fast. His steps lead him to the room he has often visited lately.He even still carries his sword. Anxious with every step. Throughout his search for information about Xavier, including his personal life, it all points to one point. Where its center is in one name; Bellamie Rosaline. Where she is now inside one of the rooms in this mansion. The room he's heading to now.Bellamie's room.Meanwhile, inside, Bellamie is almost startled by the commotion below. Also, some annoying shouts. Not to mention the loud barks of the guard dogs suddenly. She gets up and moves towards the door. Is her master back?Before she opens it, Bellamie greets. There was a smile on her face, but it quickly disappears upon seeing Alex looking like a person in a hurry. "What's going on, sir?""T

Both Bellamie and everyone in the living room are suddenly startled and frightened. Bellamie's eyes widen in shock, and she looks horrified hearing the sound. She heard a noise like a siren, faint but enough to make her hair stand on end. It happened two hours before Alex came home. Then an incident like this.What's actually happening?Maria immediately pulls Bellamie away. "Come on, Miss. Let's take cover.""From what, Maria? What's really going on here?"Before she gets an answer, the two men who once dragged her, whose faces Bellamie never forgot, approach. Quickly pulling Bellamie. The woman rebels, unwilling to accept and tries to free herself."Miss, we hope you cooperate. It's for your safety."Bellamie can't believe what they're saying. "From what, huh?""Come with us," says one of them in a very forced tone. Then the explosion sounds again, this time accompanied by a barrage of gunfire. Creating its own horror running through Bellamie's body. Involuntarily, she follows the t

As soon as the die is within Alex's reach, he immediately pushes Bellamie aside and grabs the die quickly. He doesn't need anything else but this die. This die is what protected the cheeky kid who casually ruined his sword. His mind immediately plans the most ruthless retaliation because of Gala's audacity to damage his twin swords. He ensures that the young man receives his punishment.Regardless of whether he's truly the child of the woman he loves but is too egotistical to admit, and his desire for the die is too strong. Even if he has to witness Bellamie crying and wailing, begging for the release of Galaksi Haidar, Alex won't easily forgive Gala's behavior since their initial meeting.He'll retaliate as soon as the die obeys all his commands, but..."AARRGGHHH!!!!""SIR!!!" Bellamie, who doesn't understand the situation, even though she felt how low she was used as a bargaining chip with whatever object that was floating. She slightly turns her body towards Alex, but Gala's grip

"What does Sir want to know?"Gala sighs heavily. "Dice, I really want to know what really happened. I feel like it wasn't me who acted earlier." He closes his eyes tightly. "Don't hide anything, Dice."Dice nods slowly. "It will be a long explanation. Are you sure you want to listen? You look tired, Sir. It's better for you to rest.""Don't postpone that explanation for me, Dice."The holographic girl pulls her lips slightly. "Alright, Sir." She walks a little forward, where the dark blue sky that is starting to appear orange in the distance becomes more visible. Leaving her master who is still sitting on one of the tree roots. "The die works as it should, Sir. It provides so much protection, and when you use it, you can no longer deny who you really are.""But I didn't use the die, Dice."Dice chuckles while turning slightly to look at her confused master. Ah, not confused. But unaware of his actions a few hours ago. "Did you forget when you shook that thing? Displaying three points

Gala starts counting how ready he is to face two armies besieging from two directions: the West and the East. From the West, he has to confront Alexander's large-scale forces. Then, from the East, the forces of the Great Gideon are getting involved. In his observation, Gideon's forces are not as numerous as Alexander Millian's, but still, it puzzles Gala. What's the connection between the supreme ruler of Metro and him? He's confused with the multitude of forces surrounding them. Dice says, "There's a possibility, sir, that the Great Gideon requested these dice back.""But why?""No one knows if you're the legitimate descendant of Xavier Horratio and if you're indeed the rightful owner of these dice.""Dice, why doesn't anyone know who I am?"Dice laughs amidst the weapons set up in the air. More than fifty drones fly around their range, invisible and not showing up on radar due to combat settings in stealth mode. Their preparations are almost complete. "Are you kidding me by asking t

Although Bellamie is often left alone for a long time by Xavier, who says his work matters a lot, she faithfully waits. It's okay. It doesn't matter to her as long as Xavier comes back home safe. Because several times she saw Xavier return in camping clothes. His face looked tired. When asked, once again, Xavier just smiled a little. Went into his room. And the next day, everything was back to normal.That's how Bellamie's life is with Xavier.And it shouldn't be made into a comparison where her heart turns away. Bellamie feels lower. But... where is Xavier himself? Has he been alive all this time? How is he? Oh God. Although Xavier is reserved in speech, from him, Bellamie feels a love like spring.Her tears flow more intensely. The tightness in her chest increases. She lets the night get deeper without closing her eyes even a bit. No matter if tomorrow morning her eyes will be swollen and look like bee stings. After all, her son is the only one who will see it. But the situation cha

"Maverick!" Alex yells, where his sword has been pulled perfectly. Repelling the sudden and quite brutal attack because these big cats are very different from the animals that have been showing the way to this strange forest. Where pine trees that used to look dense now begin to shift or not, who knows. In Alex's eyes, everything seems to be moving away as if bringing them to a fairly large but rocky place.The sky is still as dark as Alex knows. His sword swings several times, pressing the cat to retreat, but it seems their strength is immense. Alex fights against almost four animals, which have very long fangs. Their orange eyes and hisses are terrifying. Alex is sure that if he gets bitten by those fangs anywhere on his body, it will result in a deep wound. Moreover, if these creatures are mythical, it means the injuries they cause can be severe."Try not to get bitten," Alex says loudly. His sword swings again to hit one of the heads of the creature that suddenly jumps to attack h

"Okay. Forgive me. I don't know why you keep saying that I'm careless because I want to throw away the die. You owe me too much, Cathleen.""I know." Cathleen smiles thinly. Her eyes again stare at the link of their hands. "We will live long while holding hands like this, sir. Trust me. The time waiting for you won't be long. And when that day comes, I'm sure we'll all be happy together."Actually, Gala doesn't want to release the girl's grip, but once again, Cathleen's gaze is so convincing. "How long?""Be patient.""How long, Cathleen?" This time the question is so firm because Gala is not a person who likes to wait for a long time, it turns out. Especially when it comes to Cathleen. The question receives a wide smile from Cathleen. She closes it with a sweet kiss as a farewell before she really releases the link of their hands."Do many things with the people who love you, sir. I think the time waiting for you won't feel long."Gala blinked slowly."And never, ever intend to throw

Gala blinked repeatedly. He even woke up with very slow movements as if savoring the moment. In front of him, Cathleen stood with her sweet smile. The color of her face looked fresh. Her blue eyes were lively. Not to mention... oh my! Gala could hardly believe his own eyes."You... you... real?"Cathleen sighed loudly. She walked with a bit of lifting her somewhat bothersome dress. "Actually, I haven't finished my task. Why are you so careless!"The young man stood silent, motionless, with his eyes fixed only on Cathleen, who was now approaching."I've often said that this die can't be handed over. It has a special authentication code regarding its owner. When you intend to discard it, negative energy comes out just like that. And do you know what happens?"Gala is still confused. "Wait, wait! Don't say things I can't digest so quickly.""When are you going to respond to all my statements?" Cathleen grumbled to herself. She carefully took the die hanging around Gala's neck. Her lips s

Gala coughs violently. The pain in his back makes him suddenly breathless. He falls to his knees with a grin that still doesn't want to diminish even a bit. How could it diminish when he repeatedly had to hit trees or large rocks around him. The die still can't be touched again and emits a stronger blue light. Gala still remembers the first time they met in that corridor. The blue light... bright but also makes his heart quite comfortable. But this time, the blue around the die is different.Which Gala eventually realizes, the blue light comes from the hologram girl's projection. The original color of the die itself is a not-too-bright orange, not dazzling, but always makes Gala excited. Somehow the die has a way of being near Gala, but that's what the young man feels."Return," Gala whispers softly while wiping the corner of his lips slowly. The intention to throw away the die as far as possible seems to have to be reconsidered. What he is experiencing now seems to be a protest from

Xavier's earlier remark makes Maverick chuckle. "If you're joking, you should pay attention to your surroundings. If you leave my body there," Maverick points quickly, "What will happen to South Metro without me?"Xavier remains silent. He starts thinking about how to cross this seemingly endless chasm, except for the dangerous fog and steep rocks. He never knew there was a black panther guarding East Metro. He should have asked who this big cat really was before deciding to follow it. Ah, it's all because of Maverick who casually requested the big black cat for this Gala search.For some reason, his heart is restless, and everything revolves around the dice. He feels that the dice did something to Gala, and that fear is proven. In front of him is no longer the forbidden forest where the end should be a twin hill, one of its slopes slightly sloping. Indicating the border with North Metro, but what he sees is no longer what he imagined. Everything looks very different.He has lived for

Moreover, until that moment, his whereabouts were unknown. And now, for some reason, what really happened and what he went through made him even more curious."What do you want to ask, Alex?"The sturdy man is quite surprised to hear a question from Xavier. When he turns, the man next to him just laughs."Your head is so noisy."Alex blinks slowly. "Don't tell me you know what I—""You guys are too noisy," Xavier quickly interrupts, then his eyes turn to Maverick, who is still enjoying his cigar. "Especially you, Mave.""You know, I do love talking. My mouth feels cramped just being silent like this all the time. Luckily, the cigars I brought have enough stock until tomorrow." Maverick only glances briefly. "I'm sure whatever's in my head Alex won't be easy for you to share, right? So don't bait us to pressure you to speak."This time, Xavier laughed. "I still can't find the right correlation about your relationship with Gala. Has my son often visited you guys?"Both Maverick and Alex

The last trace of Seth's troops deliberately following Gala ends near the Netland village border. One of the quite remote villages but is one of the most popular tourist destinations for residents of North and South Metro. Most tourists come from both Metro regions. The village is still surrounded by evidence where snow perfectly covers its peaks, but it gets the most sunlight. Strangely, the warm light cannot make the hilltops melt. Only pine forests that still grow lush and maintain their authenticity.For this search, Seth was asked not to join, although the man insisted. But what Jiro said was true. At least for the next few days, Seth shouldn't leave the White House, especially when his heart is still uncontrollable. Losing Cathleen must be a severe blow for him. Kyler, who came earlier, also agreed with what Jiro said. Choosing to accompany Seth in this city center.Actually, for Xavier, this search is not too necessary. He is sure Gala is fine. Even if this search needs to be d

"Have you seen Gala?" Maverick has been quite curious about the young man since earlier. Since that news came, he hasn't wasted any time. Seth Rafael can't be lying, but after hundreds of years? What really happened? And how can this young man seem to know the girl in the white coffin very well? Maverick is not blind to notice that some people, including Xavier, seem very affected by this event.As far as his memory goes about the battle that took place between all of them and Gideon, there is no leader of the regions who did not survive. Everything returned to normal despite suffering some injuries. Only Gala. Yes, only that young man didn't come back. Xavier, who last met the young man, did not answer any of Maverick's questions about the whereabouts of his son. As if they were hiding something, but Maverick didn't understand.They returned with a lot of questions, which also made Mave and Alexander agree to search for the whereabouts of the young man.
