Knock. Knock. Knock.
“It seems like the two of them have arrived…”
“Come in.”
After getting permission from the king, Cini and Rii came in and joined the talks, and told Mansa the steps he had taken.
“I didn't think it would be that difficult fighting two demon kings.” King Ligt was so impressed with Rii and Cini.
“Before leaving, the hero left his words of gratitude. Because you have given the potion.” Rii told Mansa's words to King Ligt.
"Then king, what about the revenge plan?" Vail said so openly without the slightest hesitation, King Ligt was surprised that Vail spoke so casually.
"For now, I will focus on the problems within my kingdom first, after all the problems have been resolved. Only the day will come for my revenge for their betrayal." After King Ligt declared the day of retribution for his betrayal, the window glass was cracked.
"If you need help, we will help." Rii offered King Ligt his help, if the king wanted it.
“I will save your help for the time.” King Ligt will remember Rii's offer of help.
“Vail, as you wish. Cini and I have made all the residents of Norf city have no memory of what previously happened, including the hero and his group." Rii informed Vail of his request.
“Except Una…”
“Thank you both.” Vail was happy to hear Rii and Cini's words.
At the end of the afternoon, Rii, Cini, and Vail returned home. Seeing Zein and the woman who was Zein and Clara's mother seemed to be waiting at the door of their house.
"Miss Julian, what happened?" Cini was so surprised.
“Big brother Rii.” Zein immediately approached Rii.
"Don't run..." Rii was a little worried, because Zein still sprained his right ankle.
"Sorry we came to your house, Zein wanted to meet Rii. And I want to answer what Mr. Vail offered two days ago." Miss Julian told the reason.
"Please don't call me sir or mr in front of my name, mother..." Vail didn't want to be called sir by his mother.
"You guys started it yourself, calling mother not Miss Julian." Miss Julian was irritated by what Cini said.
"In the end, the three of us didn't expect that we would become your adopted children two days ago... even though the three of us were just joking." Rii brought up the incident two days ago when Rii, Cini, and Vail ate together at Miss Julian's residence until Clara was surprised too.
Clara who had returned from the palace, didn't see her mother and younger brother at home. Thinking they were going to the residences of the three palace guests, she walked straight there.
"Okay...if Mother has accepted it so confidently." Vail was happy to hear Miss Julian's decision.
"But, who is a waiter in a restaurant?" Julian was curious, about who would help her. When building the restaurant.
"You don't need —"
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Just about to talk, the person already came..." Rii felt that Clara was coming.
"Let me open it." Cini stood up from his seat and went to the door to open it.
..........
"You came at the right time, everyone is waiting for you."
"Waiting for me?" Clara was curious about what Cini said.
Clara entered their house, because she was given permission. She saw that the dining table, was neatly arranged with several dishes that were quite expensive, in terms of food ingredients.
After Clara and Cini sat down, Rii told Clara everything they had said.
"I work at the palace, to meet our needs." Clara was a little surprised by what Rii said, asking herself to stop working.
"We only ask you to help Mother build a restaurant business," Cini said.
"As long as the restaurant business cannot stand alone... all the needs, etc. We will help ." Rii tells about finances.
“You say that, but where does the money you get come from?” Clara took Rii's words very seriously.
"Clara, don't say that to your brothers..." Julian reprimanded Clara, who slightly increased her tone.
Towards evening, when Julian and she two children were about to go home...Vail asked Julian and Clara to stay at their house, because Zein had already fallen asleep in the middle of their conversation.
"Sorry, Rii, using your room for Zein..."
“No problem, mother. Besides, this house still has enough rooms." Rii didn't mind what his adoptive mother said.
Five days later, Julian told Vail. If there was a letter from Norf city for him.
Julian gave the letter to one of her adopted children, Vail, and allowed Vail to read it.
"Where are you going, Vail?" Julian was very curious about one of her adopted children.
"There's something I want to do ma'am. Cini, and Rii will take mother and Zein to look for a place that will be used as a restaurant this afternoon," Vail told his adoptive mother.
"I understand, then when will you come home...so that I can prepare food for you." Julian wants to know when her adopted son will be home.
“For today I will probably be at the palace, after finishing my business. I will go straight to the palace to meet the king, and discuss the restaurant and Clara."
"I understand, I hope you can help with this matter..." Julian was worried that it would be too much trouble.
"Then, I want to make the food that mother used to make because I seem to like that food."
"Of course, mother will make it..." Julian was very happy to hear the request of one of her adopted children.
"I'll be home before or maybe when dinner time comes, see you, ma'am." Vail opened the door and went out.
"Be careful..." Julian pondered and looked at the door of the house in front of her with an expression that seemed regretful, but immediately brightened up as did mood.
Vail entered a pedestrian-free street and just disappeared...on the other hand, Una seemed to be waiting for someone at the edge of the Leindorf forest.
“…….” Una saw Vail coming towards her.
“Did Rii follow you?” Una wanted to make sure.
"Rii and Cini are accompanying Zein to play," Vail informed.
"I have something to talk about, can you accompany me?"
Vail accompanied Una as she walked deeper into the Laindorf forest. Una didn't say a word or talk. And Vail saw the look on Una's face as if she was carrying a big burden.
After guiding Vail to the cliff of the Leindorf forest...Una began to open her voice.
“Can you come closer, Vail?” Una wanted Vail to stand right in front of her so close.
“…..” Vail didn't say a word, he approached Una who looked at him with a thousand feelings of guilt.
"Can you raise your hands, I want to hug you..."
Vail did it without speaking, he was also asked to close eyes by Una.
Silently, Una cast magic on the two of them...Una hugged Vail, and she jumped off the cliff carrying Vail.
“Sorry…” Una attempted suicide by taking Vail with her.
Una who also closed her eyes started to be surprised, because she didn't feel sick or anything. When he dared to open eyes, she and Vail were already at the foot of the Leindorf forest cliff.
“Are you trying to pity me, Vail?” Una was so annoyed by Vail's actions.
“So this is it, why ask me to come without Rii following me? Nia…” Vail regretted Una's bad intentions.
“If you have any problems—”
“Don't try to lecture and give me advice...do you think that by just talking all my problems will go away? NO!" Nia interrupted Vail's words and said loudly at the end of her sentence.
“I admit it, talking about problems won't change anything.”
"You understand too Vail, come on...let's end our lives and--"
“NIA!”
“Do you want to make Rii, Cindy, and Elia cry CRYING FOR YOU!?”
Vail's words hit her heart.
"NOISY!" Nia denied and let go of the hug, and immediately moved away from Vail's embrace.
"What's so hard about just coming with me, VAIL!"
"Do you not accept me and my decisions that much?"
Nia started crying, she kept crying and said everything in her heart that she had been holding back.
“If you don't want to come, I can do it alone.” Nia was so angry and annoyed and walked away from Vail.
"Then...what should I say to the man you love? What did I do, after you died right before my eyes..."
“….” Nia fell silent and stopped in her tracks after hearing Vail's words.
“Rii has nothing to do with this, and don't—”
"Of course there is, not only him...Cini, Cindy, Elia, and the people who have become our friends will be sad." Vail interrupted Nia's words.
"And the consequences of your actions will be thrown at me...everyone will label me as a murderer, merciless, and a traitor," Vail tells her how bad it would be if Nia committed suicide.
"What do you mean? I don't believe what you said, there will be no consequences for you." Nia still rejects Vail's statement.
“Nia…Mansa and we come from a different world from you. Mansa will put me, on trial as the person who planned your murder, because I was the only person you saw last before you died.” Vail walked over to Nia.
"So, I hope you are strong enough to endure all your problems...for you, and also for me." Vail, who was in front of Nia, stretched out one of his hands to Nia.
"I will love you, if you doubt there is no one who likes you. I will do anything for you, make you happy...so, don't end your life."
"I will take you, take you...so don't do it again, Nia. Because you are a precious woman to me."
Nia cried again, she started to think clearly. Vail just remained silent without taking any action to calm her.
Vail did that to let Nia express his problems in tears.
In the afternoon, Nia started to feel better thanks to Vail who hugged her so warmly and gently.
“Vail.”
"Yes?"
“Do you think Rii will accept me?” Una wanted to be sure and waited for Vail's answer.
"..." Vail felt his heart drop after hearing Nia's words, he hid it with a smile. Letting go of his embrace.
"Rii definitely loves you too, and I'm sure he wants to have you. Both you and Rii already know each other, Nia." Vail gave the answer, but on the other hand he was very heartbroken to hear it.
"...." Una smiled at the answer that satisfied her feelings.
“Okay...I will take you back to Norf City. I'm sure Cindy is looking for you." Vail stretched out one of his hands again.
Una refused because she was much better thanks to her crying. Vail understood Una's refusal, but he still took Una to the city of Norf, even though it was only up to the city entrance.
After dropping Una off, he immediately went home to fulfill his previous words to his adoptive mother.
The sound of the door was heard. "I'm home, mother..." “Uh, Vail? Where is Zein?" Julian didn't see Zein come back with Vail. "Isn't Zein with the two of them?" Vail told his adoptive mother to remind her that Zein was with Rii and Cini. “How you Vail, didn't say you would be at the royal palace after finishing things.” Cini scolds Vail for acting relaxed. "I'll be back, Mother," Vail, who realized this, immediately rushed to the palace to pick up Zein. "Zein is a stranger to the palace, how can he be accepted inside?" Vail said this in his heart. “Vail!” Hearing Rii's voice, he immediately stopped and looked behind. Rii and Cini succeeded in following their adoptive mother's request to help Vail look for Zein. They arrived in front of the palace, but they saw that the palace security was very tight. "Mr. Rabe..." the soldier came, and whispered something to Rabe who held the position of head soldier in place of Nor. "Go back to your place," Rabe ordered the soldier to retur
When they arrived home, Cini immediately apologized to Clara. Clara forgave Cini's actions because Vail told her before got home. If Cini or Rii is angry, it is normal, especially if it concerns their family. The next day, Cini, Rii, and Vail returned to the castle... "This time, what issue do you want to talk about?" King Ligt was so curious. “Everything needed is gathered, we can start…Rii, Vail.” Cini asks Rii and Vail to open the dimensional circle. Two black circles appeared, and from these circles emerged the demon king of each circle. “Do they have anything to do with this conversation?” King Ligt was very curious. “So, you is the one who became the new demon king.” The demon king Neii approaches King Ligt. "You haven't been seen for several years, it turns out you've been arrested...Neii." Said the woman who helped the demon king Dorf. “Especially Lina, I didn't expect you to be captured alive by them.” Neii was surprised, because among the demon kings. Lina has potenti
Not long after the child disappeared Rii, Cini, and Vail regained consciousness. One of them realized that there had been a change in the forest where they were. Rii tried to ignore this and immediately went to Norf City. "Is city growing this fast? Isn't it too fast." Cini was very surprised by layout of city which was so different. “Everything has changed, how do we ask questions?” Rii was confused. "Maybe we should ask the soldiers at the entrance to the city," Vail suggested. Cini and Rii agree. "Excuse me, sir, can we ask a question?" "You're the person from before, what's the matter ?" asked the soldier they came from. "We want to ask, can you tell us where the adventurers named Una and Cindy live or reside?" Vail asked the soldier. The soldier did not answer Vail's question, he told them to go to a very famous restaurant in the city of Norf. “Why was the soldier's actions so tense just now?” Cini was so surprised. "He even suggested this restaurant, do we look like imm
Clara hugged Rii and cried hysterically. Clara was no longer able to carry all the burden alone after their mother left. Cini and Vail, who were already downstairs, heard Clara crying. "Is it better?" Rii rubbed Clara's head very gently and hugged her. "Hmm..." Clara nodded her head. Cini, and Vail saw Rii holding Clara's hand and leading her downstairs. "Thanks for the Food." "Clara, how is Zein? Is he okay?” Cini was curious. “Zein has become a royal soldier, and filled the position of deputy chief soldier…and that's also thanks to the magic sword that big brother Rii gave him,” Clara said. “Vail? Why are you stunned?" Clara was so surprised to see that Vail didn't speak and was just silent. “Just thinking about this city has changed so much, like how many races there are in this city,” Vail said and had time to look around the area. “That's because this city is already part of the Gerna kingdom,” Clara said. “Become part of the kingdom? But isn't this city within the terr
Edo tries to calm his crying wife, and knows that she feels guilty. Vail clasped his hands so annoyed to hear Elia's explanation. "What does a hero do?" Vail asked in a voice that seemed annoyed. "The hero left us, he was disappointed with what the people of this city were doing," Elia said. “I see…” “Ahahaha…” "They were the ones who killed Cindy and Nia." Rii was disappointed, laughed, angry, and very angry. “They…yes, they MUST ACCEPT REVENGE!” Cini was so angry. All the powers that had been hidden emerged. White sparks appeared on Cini's fingers. “Elia, I warned you not to return to town…” Rii informed in an annoyed voice. “You too Clara…” "Don't, big brother— " Clara couldn't see her two older brothers in sight. In the Gerna kingdom, King Ligt received news that the city of Norf had been attacked again. Hear the notification. "Miss Clara told you?" The king was so surprised. "That's right my king, he said that through the crystal ball in the Norf city command center
An attack aimed so quickly at him. But he managed to push it away. “Are you stupid or what…” Staring at the direction the attack came from. “Huh, Vail!?” They were confused, seeing Vail coming to Clara's rescue. “Get your dirty hands off my sister!” Vail glared. "Okay." Releasing his grip. Clara fell helplessly and held her neck, controlling her breathing properly and regularly. “Who are you?” King Ligt was very curious about why someone could imitate Vail. "Who I am is not important to you, my goal is just to see even if it ends in disappointment." "I have nothing more to do here..." A circle appears next to the impersonator, and the impersonator enters it. Clara, who was coughing, looked up at Vail who was in the sky. And made she open her eyes so wide. “VAIL!” Clara screamed once again, seeing a sharp object penetrate her chest from behind. The laughter of the ancestors was heard by them. Vail fell from the sky, King Ligt managed to catch him. Clara, who was crying in d
Three days later. Zein came back to the house where his four older brothers were, he brought his fiancé. “Thank you for breakfast…” Clara got up from her seat and tidied up the container they had been eating in. "Sister-in-law, let me help ..." Tiara offered to bring everyone a place to eat. "Thank you, Tiara." Clara is happy to get help from Tiara. “Eh?” Tiara, who wanted to pick up and carry a pile of containers, was stopped by Vail. "Let me help Clara...here, you are our guest. So there is no need to do this kind of thing.” Vail said and grabbed a pile of food containers to take to the backyard. Vail took a pile of dirty food containers to the back of the house to be cleaned. "Why does old brother Vail seem to have changed?" Zein was so surprised. "What do you mean?" Tiara was curious. "It feels like brother Vail is seducing you...it wouldn't be fun if brother stole his younger brother fiancé—" Rii was surprised by what Zein said, Cini choked on his drink at what Zein sai
Others have discussed this, and some still have objections. But ultimately accepted, because it was better than giving away the Duke title.All nobles were allowed return to their respective territories. Except for two nobles whom the king asked to remain in the palace.“So that was your plan for summoning all of us, and the reason you went with the previous person.”"That's the plan, Glen."“Eh?” Vail was surprised to see the king so close to this person."What's wrong?" Lina was surprised to see Rii silent.“Are they related? Their conversation does not reflect the nobles and kings.” Vail informed.“Ah…noble Glen was Ligt's friend, when Ligt was at the academy,” Lina told him.“Then the young nobleman with him is a son, the name is Leon.”“Where is Neii? I didn't feel his presence." Vail was curious."When Cini came here...Neii asked Cini to open the dimension where he was trapped, for reasons I don't know myself," Lina said again.“Noble Leon, thank you for helping me too.” King Lig
