The Devil's On Me

003. Sweet-mouthed Wolf

The atmosphere in the kingdom of Eternal Ice is still excited, talking about the disappearance of the prince from the royal palace. It has not been found for several days and now the people have begun to speculate that the prince has been expelled from the palace for what has been a rumor.

Prince Yatara is said to be a betrayer who will destroy and destroy the Eternal Ice kingdom with the power he has. A power inversely proportional to the original inhabitants of the kingdom of Eternal Ice. The prince himself had both fireballs and the power that could melt the ice around the palace.

Because of the rumors, the people of the kingdom are increasingly convinced that the prince has indeed been expelled in the palace by the king himself.

In a building shaped like a tube with its umbrella-like roof all made of ice, it looks different from the buildings located on the outskirts of the road. Inside there almost entirely contained shelves of cabinets on display many medicines made by the owner himself.

One stepped in without excuse, positioning himself on one of the wooden chairs while lowering the hood of his head-covering robe. Her lips were faintly attracted to look at the old man who was arranging his medicines without turning a shred to her. Though the man could feel his presence there.

"It's been a week since Yatara left, my troops and I will immediately search and drag Yatara back to the kingdom." Obviously the young man dipped his forefinger in a glass of water that was on the table near the chair he was sitting on.

"Yatara will definitely come back by yourself, there is no need for you to pick up until you have to penetrate into another dimension. It will endanger people if you all go there," said a figure who is none other than Yatara's caregiver and teacher— Billy.

The young man who was sitting just smiled, playing with the water on his forefinger that he had frozen. And now he played and that one drop of water was spinning beautifully in the air without the touch of his hand.

"You still seem to be worried about that kid huh? Didn't we agree, if you are now on my side?" Asked the handsome-looking young man— Virga.

"And hasn't it been talked about, don't disturb Yatara. The kid will go back on his own without you having to drag it like it did before." Billy said sharply, putting his medicines on the shelves.

Then turned to Virga who so raised his face back to his gaze.

"If you want to be the king of Eternal Ice, go ahead. But, never harass Yatara." Billy's words warned making Virga stand up then nod his head accordingly.

"Well, you don't need to be so angry. As the future commander-in-chief of the kingdom, you shouldn't wear your temper too much." Virga quipped, "tomorrow prepare the whole people of the kingdom, for we ... will start a real game tomorrow. Don't be late," Virga stepped out wearing her maroon robe hood again.

The young man also stepped out of where Billy was, walking down the streets illuminated only by the torch fire. It was followed by Billy's gaze still staring at Virga's back that was beginning to disappear behind the walls of the building across the street.

Billy sat himself on the chair, rubbing his face rough with his unsettled feeling. Especially after betraying his own student and also the royal prince just for a post in the Eternal Ice job that Virga offered him. But, Billy did it because he didn't want to continue to be a useless person.

Only became a drug seller, even though he had served as Yatara's teacher for a long time. However, unfortunately the king never appreciated his hard work during this time.

"Yes, I'm doing this for the sake of my future as well as the future of the kingdom. Virga can definitely be a better king than king Samuel," Billy said assuringly to himself.

The young man strode gallantly towards the altar of the palace. All around were tall pillars that kept the palace solid. There are small ponds on the left and right sides with the periphery of the pool overgrown with small flowers that are blooming beautifully.

The floor of the palace is taken from eternal ice mixed with clear and sparkling floral juices.

When the floor box is stepped on, it will turn bright with pitch. Along the way, it won't feel boring if you spend time only at the altar of the palace.

The tall young man stood for a moment, staring at the surroundings where there were only palace guards. There are no royal officials, maybe they are gathering in the study.

His eyebrows were raised high with his cold gaze staring at the floor he was walking on. After a few seconds, the floor he was walking on also slowly moved up to the top floor. There is no glass or support there, only a floor that is 50x60 centi in size. If you move a little, maybe the young man will fall from upstairs.

The figure who was none other than Virga also smiled faintly when he saw the king's room that was in front of his eyes now. The king's room is dominated by white color decorated with various kinds of Eternal ice in the shape of flowers. Which of course spoils the eye with the beautiful flickering of rainbow-like flower juices there.

"How are you noble?" Virga asked as she sat down on the bedside chair of the king who was lying weakly on the mattress.

"It seems to be good." King Samuel retorted smiling faintly. His face was still pale with dark circles that had already been clearly printed under his eyelids.

"Thankfully, I'm really relieved to hear that. Hopefully, his royal highness will recover completely soon so that he can take a good look at Prince Yatara," Virga said ducking faintly, putting on a sour expression.

"What's the matter? Yatara is making trouble again?" King Samuel asked as he sat down with a small cough.

Virga thinned her lips, then slowly nodded her head in confirmation.

"Yatara has been leaving the royal palace for a week. Even when his majesty was lying sick, the prince never came to step on his feet here." Virga obviously blinked his eyes, "your majesty has been unconscious for days. I as a noble friend and close family ... wanted to take Prince Yatara back home. However, unfortunately the Prince did not heed the invitation of me and the guards." Virga continued to exhale for a moment.

"The prince decided to go to the human world by himself, your majesty." King Samuel suddenly rounded his eyes in shock at Virga's narration beside the bed.

The king's eyelids moved uncalmly, worrying about his only son who did not have a harmonious relationship with him.

"Why don't you guys follow all the way there? Don't you know, anyone who is desperate to go there will not be able to survive. Moreover, the human world has a very different temperature from the temperature we are in," said King Samuel hardening his jaw.

"I want to do that too, king. But, who will pay attention to the palace as well as the king later? Therefore, I want to just let Prince Yatara clear his mind first." The young man's pause spoke of origin, "prince Yatara is too young to understand about the world of politics at court and also has feelings of sympathy for his ailing father. I want to understand, prince Yatara." Virga added relaxing both shoulders slowly.

King Samuel was silent for a while, blinking his eyes somberly.

"Does that kid really have no chance of becoming a successor?" The king asked softly by biting his rahag.

"Let's talk about that matter later, because the most important thing now is noble health." Virga continued to smile faintly as she confirmed King Samuel's exposed blanket.

"If only Yatara could be as considerate as you, maybe I would be the happiest father." The word King smiled faintly making Virga nod his head quietly.

"It's an honor that I can be a noble child." The young man retorted again pulling the corners of his lips, his shady gaze slowly sharpening with a strongly hardened jaw.
