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 food for breakfast." Nhiel entered the house.
The scent of food wafted far away, making the children in the village unable to restrain themselves.
“If my late mother saw this, she definitely would have done it,” Vail informed.
"Then, you and Mansa call them to join," Rii asked.
"Okay." Mansa didn't mind.
"Cini and I will prepare the rest."
Vail and Mansa split up to go to each door to shorten the time.
"Mother, is it still not mature?" Asked a seven-year-old child who was waiting for her mother to finish boiling a stone.
"You just sleep first, when you're ready, Mother will wake you up." Said the mother, holding back her hunger just like her daughter. Cooking rocks to entertain daughter.
Knock. Knock.
"Yes?"
The woman approached the door.
"There's something I can--"
"You?!" The woman immediately made an unpleasant face at Vail.
“What do you want young man? Asking us to be merciful?” The woman said in a slightly high voice.
"I came here to pick up your child," Vail told the reason for his goal.
“Mother, who?” The child approached and hid behind her mother.
“Rumia, you should stay inside.” The mother rebuked her with gentle words.
“Little miss, are you hungry?” Vail bent his knees to teach the little girl to talk.
"I am hungry,"
“Hmm, smart kid. Brother is coming to pick you up, bring the big container you have and we will eat together.” Vail informed.
"Did my mother invite?"
"We invited everyone, including you and your mother," Vail said and smiled.
"I'll get it..." The child went inside, to search and select the plate she wanted.
“Thank you, I mistook you for having hidden intentions.” The woman felt guilty.
"Mrs. Rumia, I apologize for what my friends said earlier." Vail bowed several degrees as a sign of apology.
“Inviting all the villagers, is that right? Even though we had…” The woman stopped talking because she realized her mistake.
"Not at all, Mrs. Rumia, we understand why you all say that," Vail told her understanding.
"My name is Amira," Amira introduced herself.
"Of all the doors I came to, you were the only one who introduced yourself...my name is Vail, from the Gerna kingdom." Vail introduced himself and told.
"Can you also get ready, Miss Amira?"
"Sorry, I--"
“No objections, miss…so being prepared is my wish.” Vail interrupted Amira's words.
Amira went inside to make up at Vail's request, but when she came back. Vail laughed and it made her a little embarrassed and blush a little.
"What is so funny?" Amira was so embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, it's just that I wanted to laugh. Why do all the villagers put on makeup, even though we are just eating.” Vail said what he thought.
“I know this isn't clear, I'm sorry Miss Amira. In that case…"
"Come on Miss, I'll take you to the dining table." Vail behaved like a royal servant entertaining his queen.
Amira grabbed one of Vail's hands that was reaching out to her, as a result. She almost forgot her daughter at home, luckily Rumia knocked on the door when it was locked.
“Okay, now that we have gathered. No need to wait any longer, please enjoy." Mansa asks everyone to eat without thinking about the past.
“……” Not a single adult touched the food, they were all ashamed of their previous actions.
“Everyone, please eat. As you heard before, this village has left the noble's hands. We can make our village thrive and grow anything profitable to sell.”
"Therefore, I need all of your help."
Hearing Nhiel's words, they then forgave themselves, Nhiel was indeed a soldier and that was a different obligation from their husbands who were forced by land-owning nobles to join the war.
Several months later. Everyone in the village began to get results from their farms and plantations.
“You guys are leaving?” Said someone among them.
"We have to continue our journey, there is still one more person we have to fulfill our promise to," Rii informed.
"I see, we hope you will come even if only once in a while." Said someone else.
“We'll keep that in mind,” Rii was grateful.
“Then, while you're here. Let's make this a harvest festival.” Nhiel told the others.
“The harvest feast? I think it's good too, we can all become better thanks to the four of you.” Dano didn't mind.
"Isn't that actually—"
“Vail, you can't refuse it. We have already decided this, you can only respect it.” Amira knew that Vail would complain.
In the afternoon, they were all very busy with their respective tasks. Except for one person, namely Vail, he stared at the sun which was about to set under a cool tree.
“…..” Vail realized that Amira was approaching him.
"Is there a problem, Miss Amira?"
“Nothing, I'm curious about one thing. Can l say that?" Amira wants to ask for approval.
“Of course, you can say that.” Vail doesn't mind it.
“Why always wear a mask?” Amira said what she wanted to know.
“There are several reasons, but one of them is that I am the prince of Gerna,” Vail informed.
"Prince?!" Amira was so surprised.
“You are too much, Miss Amira. Can you at least do it first?" Vail asked Amira to listen to what he said.
"What do you mean?" Amira was very curious.
“I am indeed a prince but only as bait, nothing more. The real Prince Gerna is Rii.” Vail informed.
“Rii is the real prince?” Amira saw and looked at Rii from a distance.
“That's right, he is the official prince of the Gerna kingdom. As well as the person who helped to beat up the cunning nobleman who owned this land.” Vail told Amira.
"Thank God..." Amira felt relieved, she didn't know if Vail was a prince because considering as her son was one-sided and Vail didn't know about it.
“But why did you accept it?” Amira wants to know the reason.
“A deal was struck, probably nineteen or so ago.” Vail isn't sure about the year gap.
"It's very unfortunate, even though you are more articulate and wise." Amira regrets this.
“Miss Amira, everyone has their characteristics. Then, I met Mr. Jato. You consider me your son.” Vail informed, and saying what he knows.
"Um..." Amira couldn't argue, she had fallen into her trap.
“You are too close to Rumia, and I am happy. Your character and attitude were given to Rumia like an older brother, that's why I consider you to be my child."
"I'm sorry for saying anything wrong."
What kind of face to make, after all that was said. And Amira was so ashamed to admit everything that had been hidden.
“Then, can you move to the Gerna kingdom? For the safety of Mother and Rumia." Vail asks Amira and Rumia to move to the Gerna kingdom.
"I understand, I will do it." Amira misunderstands, thinking she is heading to Gerna to marry the demon king Ligt and protect this village and her family.
"Hey!" Cini shouted to call Vail and Amira because the food was ready.
"Miss, let me take you to the dining table." Vail entertained like a servant like before.
Later that day. The villagers bid farewell to the three of them.
“Everyone, thank you very much. You've allowed us to stay here." Mansa was very grateful, that all the villagers who were previously indifferent were now smiling at each other.
“Come back here, Mr. hero. We are waiting for you here." Harima said very kindly.
"......" Cini was still looking at Vail who was being hugged by him adoptive mother.
"Take care of yourself, mother will miss you and also your little sister Rumia." Amira doesn't want to be so worried and anxious.
“I'll do it, mom, while I'm gone. Please take care of Rumia for me and Mother too. Then Gerna's royal horse-drawn carriage will come, I hope Mother is ready." Vail informed.
"Mother will do it..." Amira said something that she misunderstood.
“Once again, see you all,” Rii said his farewell to everyone, in the village who gathered before him eyes.
As a result of the actions of the four of them, all the residents were surprised to see that they could fly and go towards the north.
On the ninth day, the royal palace's horse-drawn carriage came to pick up Amira and Rumia.
On her way to the kingdom, Amira was shocked again by the appearance of a masked person who was similar to her adopted son Vail.
They talk and the figure gives Amira a choice.
"Flustered?" Glen saw that his friend was so awkward.
"Of course, I was asked to pick up a woman named Amira and her child from a village on the outskirts of Tars city." King Ligt was very awkward and his words sounded annoying.
“Maybe ask yourself to marry, that's all I can think of,” Glen told his thoughts.
“Wouldn't that be good for you, King Ligt?” Runia comes to Glen and King Ligt.
“That woman is still willing to come after knowing you are the demon king, I think everything will be easy from now on.”
“Runia, it seems that I have misjudged you since the three of us were in the academy.” King Ligt said that inside his mind.
“Perhaps…” Runia said something ambiguous and tilted her head slightly.
"It turns out that I misjudged you." King Ligt accidentally said his thoughts.
"Did I hear wrong?" Runia said with great annoyance.
“You know Runia is always like that, don't provoke—”
“Glen, you…”
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
Rii, who was eating, was asked by Vail to switch places. Rii didn't mind, even though he asked what meant. “I don't know what happened and why Nema closed her eyes, but Vail asked me to ask Nema to open her eyes,” Rii said inside his mind, when he had switched places with Vail. "You can open your eyes now, Nema." Rii, who didn't know, just followed what Vail said. Nema opened her eyes, she was amazed that Vail could turn into Rii to help her. “Love huh? Haven't heard that in a long time.” Vail, who was at home, immediately lay down on the bed. "To think he approached you just to get information about your friend." Etina just appeared and sat at the window of the house. “I didn't expect that earth elf had a hobby of eavesdropping,” Vail mocked Etina. “How rude of you to say that hero of Vail.” Etina walked over to Vail. And looked at him so pityingly. “Don't look at me like a master looks at pet.” Vail felt uncomfortable with the way Etina glanced at him. "Do you know? Looks li
Vail's statement shocked all the Elves, and they were grateful that Sela's group failed to kill Vail and his two friends. After learning that, the Elf Elder was shocked again. According to Cini, Rii is also a former prince from that kingdom too. Etina asked the three of them to meet a dragon on a mountain. “…..” Alpha and the pack walk by and see Rii, Cini, and Vail. “Long time no see again, Alpha.” Cini greeted them. “Hmm…? You don't usually get wounds like this." Rii was so surprised to see Alpha's heartbreaking condition. “No need for pleasantries, why you come?” Alpha didn't want to talk to humans for long. “We want to ally with the giant wolf race, to fight against the ancestors,” Vail informed. “The ancestor only fought against the human race, nothing to do with us giant wolf race,” Alpha said. doesn't care about the outside world. "Okay, if you're not interested, we want to go to the dragon on the mountain to ally—" “Wait… we wolf race accept it.” Alpha interrupted Ci
Amira asked her husband, to tell where her child was. She also saw her husband's expression, which was reluctant to tell. "King Ligt, I want to know where my son." Amira took off the crown on her head. “….” King Ligt was surprised to see his wife taking off the crown on her head. And sat on the floor asking to be told. “I'll tell you, but put the crown back on—” “Not until the king tells him.” Amira interrupted her husband's words. “They, especially Vail, don't want you to know this, but to see your actions. I had no choice.” King Ligt felt so guilty because his wife had humbled herself so much. “They are in the territory of the giant wolf race, precisely in the forest of death. Or what we call the Ruga valley, there are also dragons there—" “Amira?!” Amira fainted when heard her husband's words about their whereabouts, especially their children. One day later, Rema returned from academics because he received news that Queen Amira had fallen ill. "Amira..." King Ligt held his
Vail didn't mind, he also asked Rii and Cini to save the man Ryzen said because he had protected Rema as best he could. “Brother…” In a vague vision, Rema saw Vail approaching her. “…..” Rema gathered strength in her hands to grab Vail. “Everything is fine, there is no need to worry. Now go to sleep, we'll take care of the rest." Vail took Rema's hand. “…..” Before closing her eyes, Rema saw a very large dragon and several giant creatures walking above the two of them. "How despicable the human race is, they always hurt each other rather than unite to fight the ancestors." Alpha is so disappointed with humans who dominate the outside world. "Let us clean up the rest." “…..” Vail saw two giant wolves eating the bodies of dead bandits. “I want none of them alive,” Vail informed. “….” Alpha saw the hatred within Vail. He immediately walked towards the edge of the forest where the bandits were. Rema opened her eyes again and found herself being carried by Vail's arms around her s
