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 said.
"Is it okay, older brother?" Zein looked worried when he saw Cini choking on water.
"Since when do you have a fiancé?" Rii was so curious.
"Ah...at first it was just an ordinary romance in the third year of the academy," Zein said. Tiara nodded her head to confirm Zein's words.
"Even though it's not officially..."
Zein's words made Cini and Rii freeze.
Vail and Clara had finished washing the cutlery when they returned to join them. Vail saw Cini and Rii who were so shocked.
“Hmm…? What's wrong with you two?" Vail was surprised by Cini and Rii's stony silence.
"Zein...what is your purpose for coming this time? Is there a need?" Clara was curious about Zein's arrival and brought Tiara for the second time. After her three adopted older brothers returned.
"My arrival wants to let you know that we will soon be engaged properly and well," Zein told her of purpose in coming home.
"That's fine..." Cini didn't mind that.
"I think that's the right thing to do." Rii didn't mind.
"Accept--"
"Wait Zein...have you told Tiara's parents about this?" Clara said in all seriousness. Because Clara knows the problems Zein and Tiara are facing.
“I didn't dare tell them,” Zein answered without confidence.
“Then, I take back my blessing.” Cini took back him previous statement.
"Old brother, wasn't it just now—"
"I say this seriously Zein."
Cini's statement made Zein very offended, and annoyed. Not knowing what was going on in his mind, Zein just walked away and left Tiara there.
"Rii...can you take care of Zein?" Vail asked.
"I understand." Rii goes out to chase Zein.
"Your name is Tiara, I'm sorry for what happened here. Please don't hate Zein." Vail approached Tiara.
"It's okay, Mr. Vail, I have prepared myself for something like this." Tiara didn't mind what had happened.
"I'm glad you're more mature than our little brother, but...why doesn't Zein want to tell your parents?" Vail was so curious.
“Are they busy?” Cini was also very curious.
“Actually…my parents are against this relationship,” Tiara informed.
“The reason? At least there is a reason behind their refusal.” Vail wants to know why Tiara's parents rejected their daughter's romance with Zein.
“In the past, my father suggested approaching Zein. And in the past, I also didn't have any feelings for Zein..."
“Day after day, because I continue to be beside and with him. Something in me started to grow, and slowly this feeling changed me to accept Zein."
“However, in the middle of the third year. My father asked me to leave Zein, and forced me not to approach him again.”
Rii managed to find Zein who was outside the kingdom, full of deep frustration and contemplation.
"Can I sit down?"
“….” Zein looked behind the tree, causing his body to turn too. Seeing Rii sitting leaning against the same tree.
“I didn't come to persuade, but because of something else,” Rii informed.
"Old brother Rii?"
“In a story, there was a beautiful witch who summoned several heroes. The wizard hopes that the heroes will help her world..."
“But after the heroes were successfully summoned, and when the wizard asked the heroes for help. They didn't respond, they chose to run away."
"And told the beautiful witch not to worry, as a result...the beautiful witch died."
“What does this have to do with my condition? I don't--"
“The heroes are sorry, so sorry. To the point of destroying the city and killing the people who killed the witch they loved.” Rii continued again.
"Then Zein, do you want to feel the same regret as in the story you just told?" Rii hopes that Zein will not do the same thing as him.
"I don't know what to do, Tiara's parents asked me not to approach their child. Because my social status is just an ordinary person."
“At first I wanted to prove, that I could be something useful…that's why I entered the royal military to prove my point, however.”
“After I managed to get the position of deputy commander, thanks to the help of the demon king Neii, the demon king Lina, as well as the hero who trained me. Also, the strength that big brother gave me.”
“However, the nobleman still doesn't accept it... he still considers me a commoner. "Even after old sister Clara helped and provided all the restaurants."
“The answer remains the same …”
Rii listened carefully to everything Zein said, but instead mocked Zein.
“As a true knight, you will not leave the battlefield…it seems you are still too young to take responsibility.”
"Are you making fun of me?" Zein complained hearing Rii's words.
“Then prove it. Prove it to Cini who is against it, prove it to me who hears your words. If you can overcome all the obstacles.” Rii got up from his seat.
“As men, we must treat women with dignity. Not by running away." Rii informed.
"Brother Rii." Zein got up from his seat.
"I'll do it...I'll prove it to all of you, Tiara, and the nobles."
Upon arrival home. Zein didn't see Clara, and Rii didn't see Cini either.
"Fiancé!?"
"Why are you so surprised Zein, didn't you say you were getting engaged? So, l asked Tiara to return to her house accompanied by Cini. So that we pick her up in the right way ." Vail informed.
"Prepare yourself Zein," Vail asked.
"Good--"
The sound of horses could be heard from inside the house. Someone opened the door, and it was none other than Cini. He apologized and said that he would go straight to the palace to borrow a horse-drawn carriage.
“The king lent the palace a horse-drawn carriage?!” Zein wasn't so sure his would be fine when he returned to the military.
Clara was surprised to see that Cini had not only borrowed a palace horse-drawn carriage but had two palace soldiers driving it.
“Where can you get a loan? Even though we have helped him, this seems excessive." Rii was so surprised.
“Secret, but in exchange…Vail, King Ligt asked me to tell you. If there is something you want to talk about that is very important. The king hopes you will come after hearing it." Cini said that the message was left for Cini to convey to Vail.
"I understand, thank you, Cini."
"Sorry Zein, I couldn't witness your engagement." Vail is so sorry.
"It's no problem is, there's no party afterward anyway..." Zein informed him.
"Then I'll come along--"
"Clara, you accompany Zein. Replace me, after everything is over. I will ask you to tell me what happened.” Vail interrupted Clara's words.
Finally, they all left for Tiara's residence using a horse-drawn carriage lent by the king, without Vail.
Vail closed the door of the house and went inside.
“They are all gone, you can appear… King Ligt.” Vail looked at the seat near the window in the room.
"And why did you leave a message when you were coming? That's what I wanted to say but—"
"It turns out you saw me, I thought the magic I was given to be invisible was capable of tricking me." King Ligt didn't expect to be found out.
"To be honest, I didn't see it, but your presence is still there," Vail informed.
“Then…it's time to take you to the palace, Prince of Rii.”
The sound of horses neighing could be heard from inside the house, king Ligt returned to the palace carrying Vail.
“King Ligt has arrived!”
The door to the throne room opened. Vail saw many people gathered, they were all high-class and influential nobles in the kingdom.
“Rii, you finally came. We've all been waiting for you.” Lina approached.
"What happened?" He was so confused and curious.
“You'll figure it out yourself, come with me.” Lina held Rii's arm and took him.
"Gentlemen, sorry for making you stand for so long..." The king apologized before he sat down on the throne chair.
"King, is this the person you mean?" Said one of the nobles among the many nobles.
“That's right Mr. Kart.” The king confirmed the words of the Kart nobles.
“Are you sure about giving the position of Duke to this person? We don't know where he came from, he could be a spy from the empire." Noble Res, reminded his king to be careful.
All the nobles expressed their refusal and asked King Ligt not to give the Duke title carelessly.
“Please think again my king, the title of Duke can only be bestowed with a person who has a clear origin, is meritorious, loyal, and other supporters.” Noble Betan. Refused and told his king.
“King, I think... what Mr. Betan, Mr. Res, and Mr. Kart say is true. Why do you even give the title of Duke to someone who has no reputation?”
“And according to imperial regulations, the most votes will be taken as the final result.”
“Since we all reject it, then you have to follow the imperial regulations.”
The nobleman smiled slightly after saying and telling the contents of his words.
“Well, I won't give him the title of Duke… but instead, I'll make him my son.” King Ligt relented with his decision.
“As a noble, I accept it…it is much better than giving the title of Duke.”
The young nobleman expressed his disagreement with King Ligt's words.
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
Clara was so surprised. She wanted to know the truth and all the events that made him unable to understand."Can you tell me more clearly? Have we been being toyed with all this time?" Clara looked at Nita with all seriousness.“I will take responsibility for my words, assuming you already know that. And I also apologize to him for not being able to keep this secret.” Nita began to feel like she didn't know whether to be honest or lie."Clara...the person who is the real prince is Rii, but Vail is the one who plays the prince and lives there for some reason, I don't know either.""You love Rii and Cini, but because they are both your adopted older brothers. You can't do anything, then—"“Wait a minute, how do you know this?” Clara interrupted Nita's words, she did that to find out the person who said that."Cini told us..." Nita said without lying."But Rii is at home—"“What you saw was not Rii, but Vail,” Nita said."Why? Why?" Clara was increasingly confused."I know the reason myse
On the other hand, Erick was very happy because Clara had answered his feelings even though she had stopped.Mansa saw Erick come back holding Clara's hand so intensely."What happened?" Nita was so curious. Seeing Erick holding Clara's hand."Since when did Clara wear a ring?" Sara was surprised."Erick, don't tell me you..." Mansa concluded that Erick might have proposed to her."I have proposed to Clara, now we are officially engaged," Erick said."Is it true?" Lina came to them.“Is that true, Clara?”"We have--"“…..” Lina slapped Clara's face, holding back her tears. And hugged Clara and cried.“You idiot, why are you even doing this?” Lina rebuked her."Don't you love him? Why you even…”“Miss Lina, you love him too, right? But instead of choosing someone else, you and I are doing the same thing.”"Sister, teacher..." Zein saw the two of them crying and hugging each other.Seven years later, Clara, Lina, and Tiara were married and the third marriage was held simultaneously as if
Everyone in the village saw and sneered at Nhiel. These people's words made Nhiel reflect on everything he had found."He's so nice, getting everything without having to work hard." Said a woman among everyone, seeing Nhiel get the land ownership certificate.“You ignorant citizens, we are doing this because—”"Mr. Cini," Nhiel asked Cini not to answer."Outsiders like you don't deserve to say such things to us." Said someone else."You're just being used—"“Stop it!” Mansa was so annoyed by their words that looked down on Nhiel."Are you really—Aaa!"“Don't stop hoeing.” Vail hits Mansa.“Everyone, we are indeed outsiders. But one of our friends owes Mr. Nhiel a favor and it was a long time ago.” Vail informed.“I hope you all understand.”Hearing Vail's words, all the residents were very annoyed and increasingly annoyed with Nhiel."Uncle, you okay?" Rii wanted to make sure Nhiel's feelings didn't have any feelings of revenge."Don't worry, there's no need to worry...uncle will make
Glen and Runia were silent, because they saw that the horse-drawn carriage had returned.One of the soldiers opened the door of the horse-drawn carriage, and Amira got out for the first time.“Vail…where did you get a woman as beautiful as her?” King Ligt said in his mind. Ligt was so fascinated by Amira's beauty, Ligt felt he would discover his love story.“….” Runia and Glen saw that their friend was fascinated by Amira's arrival.“This seems good, do we need to asked the prince to ask King Ligt to marry her?” Runia's words were heard by all the soldiers and Lina and the others.“You two…” King Ligt groaned and became awkward, but tried to be as welcoming as possible."Welcome to the kingdom—"“I accept it, please help in the future.”“Eh?” They all didn't understand what Amira was saying when she said that.Amira explained that if she had accepted King Ligt's proposal, she would have misunderstood so much.One month later. Mansa received a reply letter from Erick. Tell him that the
On the next day. The wedding between King Ligt and Amira was held, and they both made promises to each other as proof of their loyalty. "In this way I declare you--" "Stop!" Everyone in the castle heard the sound of soldiers screaming and the sound of attacks. Mansa and Zein were helped by Erick to the source of the commotion. "Stop there..." Mansa asked the figure not to do any further. “This is the first time we meet, heroes.” This figure refers to Mansa and also Zein. “Let's see how much power you two will have to stop me.” The palace walls shook, and those in the throne room heard the screams of Zein, Mansa, and Erick who were defeated. "Wait..." Mansa saw the figure continue its path towards the throne room. The door to the throne room was successfully opened. They all saw the woman wearing a black mask. "Who are you?" King Ligt had a bad feeling about this. “Have you forgotten your master, yourself? Light.” "Don't tell me, you..." Lina was surprised that this was the
Sela and her group went inside left Rii, Cini, and Vail outside the door until the Elf elders let them in. "She hasn't come out, even though it's almost evening," Cini complained. Because I've been waiting for more than six hours. “Maybe we were tricked, because you annoyed her,” Rii informed. Not long after, the door that Sela and her group had passed, through opened again and asked the three of them to enter with the permission of the elders. "I'm back…" "Welcome— " Nema was surprised to see her sister bringing Rii, Cini, and Vail to her house. “Why did you bring them here?” "If it wasn't for Elder's request, I wouldn't have brought them." Sela sat in a chair and said. "How about this? I only prepared food for two people. Plus, our food supplies are also running low." Nema was so confused. “No need to worry, Nema. We can give them the grass behind the house.” Sela told. "You think we are livestock!" Cini was so annoyed by Sela's sarcasm. “Can we borrow the kitchen?” Vail a
Another colleague shouted. He said that he saw several very large eyes behind the bushes and those eyes were focused on him. "Are you guys sure you don't want to run?" Rii mocked the S-rank adventurers. “Even if your strength is almost close to heroes, if you are in the territory of the giant wolf race. Your powers do not affect protecting yourself.” Cini told. “Your safety depends on how fast you run…” Vail told them how to survive. "It turns out my hunch was right." One of Lacot's colleagues ran without looking back. One of the women in the group was shaking. She also saw eyes glancing at her. “Aaaa!” "Help! Help!" Lacot and his colleagues who had not yet run, saw one of their female colleagues being dragged into the bushes and from there they saw blood and the sound of the woman's screams still there. “Hey! —” Lucot looked at his comrades running one by one. “Return me to where I was!” Lucot threatened Rii, Cini, and Vail by brandishing his sword. “Impossible, the reason
