            Theodoric screeched faintly at the sight of his mother who had put a lot of food into a large backpack. He said the backpack that had been filled with clothes, pants and some food would be carried by Theodoric. So that later on the road, Theodoric did not starve to death.

"Mother, I won't be there for long. Why do you have to bring so many things?" The young man grumbled as he positioned himself in the doorway.

Rania didn't respond, ducking faintly with her busy hands stuffing warm sweet potatoes into a plastic bag and two mineral bottles.

"You'll thank mom later. The journey to the external kingdom or something was far away. So, just accept it." Said the woman then pushed the backpack lightly and grabbed Theodoric's hand into the gap of the backpack strap.

After putting on the big backpack, Theodoric also stood up by tidying up his white hoodie which was slightly tilted because he was attracted by the backpack. The young man wears a pair of black jeans with shoes.

In fact, he is the laziest when he has to wear neat clothes like this. Moreover, just go to the kingdom there. It is more comfortable to wear a singlet and also training pants. But, now he has to wear all the clothes that are not very comfortable to wear.

"You have to find the person the kid said earlier," his mother said lightly rubbing Theo's shoulder.

"Mom is really okay, staying alone?" Said the young man who owns a pointed high nose.

"Hm, definitely. Mom would prefer it if you weren't home," Rania said honestly making Theo roll his eyes in annoyance.

"I'll go home as soon as possible, don't forget the door lock." Said Theodoric turned away, recounting his mother's soberness.

The young man had already stepped out behind the gate of the house. With a large backpack that is now behind his back.

"Tsk, should it be so many nights that this is going?" The young man complained, as Yatara forced him to rush to the kingdom immediately. Because the full moon is approaching, it is afraid that the soldiers of the kingdom will come to the human world and create chaos.

Yatara didn't want anyone to get hurt just because of himself anymore.

"You can't, use your strength so that I can shoot so fast. Or teleport like in the movies?" said Theodoric enthusiastically, smiling to himself at the thought that he could actually do that amazing thing.

"I don't know, some people in the kingdom can do it." Obviously Yatara made Theodoric smile.

"You can, no?"

"No." Yatara retorted coldly, hearing that Theodoric suddenly relaxed his shoulders in disappointment.

His expectations and expectations were directly broken unceremoniously by the heartless prince. "Said you are the prince, why can't such a thing?"

"Because now I'm trapped in your body. My strength is limited, I can't use it freely,"

"Means you can?"

"Hm," Said Yatara fainted, actually lazily having to respond to Theodoric's not-so-important question. There is a question that makes Yatara can only stroke his chest, be patient.

"Can you split yourself like naruto?"

"Can fly like a vampire?"

"Or can bring the dead to life?"

Nonsense question. In the decades Yatara lived, he had never heard the word 'naruto' that Theodoric alluded to. Whether it's what kind of creature, Yatara doesn't know.

Vampire flying? It's a bird vampire. It's just weird.

Theodoric's last question is the dumbest question. A person's life and death are only in the hands of god. So, even if Yatara is a prince. He wouldn't be able to do that impossible thing.

After busy arguing, walked down a long street without a vehicle. Finally, they came to the front gate of the school, which is quite close to Theodoric's house.

The school that used to be the Theodoric school–– Bhinneka School.

"This is called a school?" Yatara asked now appearing, taking a place beside Theodoric by looking at the school building in front of him.

"You've been here?" Yatara again asked making Theodoric, who was busy pushing the locked gate, just nod.

"I'm studying here, so definitely come often. What the hell question, that?" The young man's sneer then desperately climbing the gate made Yatara blink his eyes in shock.

"Isn't it illegal to enter a house or place without permission?" Yatara reminded.

"Illegal father you king?" Annoyed the guy to the point of stalking Yatara. "If you want to get to your kingdom quickly, it's better to just come along." Theodoric said as he dropped his backpack first, after which he jumped up and landed successfully.

Yatara just gawked on the spot, seeing Theodoric's behavior that seemed to be used to climbing the gate.

Yatara actually wanted to ask, but he didn't do it. The prince felt that it was useless to talk to Theodoric. Better questions are kept to himself.

"Which way should we go?" Theodoric turned his head, even though there was no Yatara there.

"The back of the building," hearing that Theodoric suddenly raised an eyebrow. Because there are three buildings in front of them. Buildings one and two and also the UKS building.

"Which building?" Theodoric asked starting to get impatient. Especially hearing Yatara, who occasionally just mutters alone.

Theodoric stood at the end of the corridor as he circulated his gaze around. His interlaced eyebrows heard vaguely the sound of chattering behind the school building. The tall young man frowned, sharpening his hearing even more.

He, too, decided to approach the source of the sound with a momentary sip.

"You also heard the sound just now, right?" Asked the young man turned sideways even though he already knew Yatara wasn't appearing now.

"It looks like a woman voice," Theodoric said muttering to himself, peering behind the pillars.

Theodoric raised his eyebrows high as a female student suddenly slumped roughly before him with a chaotic appearance. Her hair seemed to have just been cut off, his uniform was full of dust that looked damp and not left. One of her shoes was not there, her feet were only white socks that were stained with mud.

Theodoric had already wanted to come forward to help, but the young man's movements stopped when he saw the shadow of someone approaching. A girl is now standing in the face of the female disciple just now, standing with her arms in front of her chest. His gaze was sharp, looking at the poor girl just now unfriendly.

"You're sure this is all you took?" The girl asked in a haughty tone.

"Y-yes, you can check the contents of my backpack yourself." Retorted the girl who was still sitting on the floor, pointing to her backpack that was on a pile of unused tables and chairs behind the school building.

"If you lied, you'd know... what will happen to you, right?" The straight-haired girl said half-threateningly.

Theodoric behind the pillars was still observing the two with squinting eyes, the young man accidentally saw the name tag of the girl standing with the cold expression. Elma Clarissa's name is listed there.

Elma turned her head for a moment, reaching for the rough backpack while unzipping it quickly. Then dropping all the contents on the floor made the girl who still hadn't moved from her seat take a rough sip.

Elma's hand movement stopped when she saw something she had been looking for among the fallen items, she also ducked faintly picking up a transparent plastic containing several hundred thousand bills and there was also an atm card there.

"Elma, I... can explain."

Elma could be heard swearing violently, kicking the backpack and things in front of her until Theodoric who was still peeking behind the pillars jumped in shock. The girl already wanted to come forward with her slap, but Theodoric got in the way first. Standing between the two by spreading his arms like a goalkeeper trying to block the ball that was about to enter the goal.

"It's still the era, huh, bullying your own friends?" Theodoric's insinuation of staring at Elma straight made the girl wearing her school uniform cluck in distaste. "You can play together, it's not allowed to hurt each other like this. I can report this incident to the school, you know?" Threatening Theodoric spoke in a light tone, Elma again scowled harshly.

Turned away with the time to stare at her friend earlier sharply. Then it completely disappeared behind the already dark corridors of the classroom because the lights were already turned off. Only the garden lights are still on the school grounds.

"You're okay?" Theodoric extended a helping hand at the disciple who was now sitting listlessly with a gaze directed at his belongings scattered on the floor.

"Tsk, if you don't know anything, don't interfere." Instead of thanking his, the female student vented her annoyance at Theodoric who was trying to help.

After the disciple had left, Theodoric fell silent in place. Blinking his eyes felt sad to himself. Even though he had been kind enough to help, but instead he was retaliated with harsh words.

"You see, right? I'm trying to help her. But, instead it was reciprocated like... " Theodoric couldn't continue his sentence, lost the word because he didn't finish thinking about the two students of his school's alumni.

"Now is not the time to think about them, our purpose in coming to this school is not for that. You remember, right?" Yatara said remindingly making Theo suddenly squeal faintly.

"Hm, I just want to express my annoyance, so that later here will not become a disease." Pointing Theodoric at his chest then chuckled to himself. Yatara didn't respond, only the young man's huff could be heard. "Now how... open the door to your kingdom?"

For a while, Yatara was silent. Either thinking about something or preparing to return home to his kingdom.

"It doesn't look like it will be able to,"

"What do you mean you can't?" Theodoric asked in confusion, lowering his big backpack because he was tired of also carrying the big backpack.

"I can't open the door anymore," Yatara explained confidently.

"So what, do you want me to open it? You don't think that way, do you... brother Yatara?" Theodoric said somewhat irritably, half-pressing Yatara's name on the back.

"But, it should indeed be you who opened it."

Theodoric gawked on the spot, looking at Yatara who was now looking at himself.

"Stretch out your hand like this," Yatara said directing him which made the young man in front of him faintly cluck. Actually don't want to do this kind of weird thing.

He, too, was forced to move forward. Sticking his hands in front of the air, focusing his thoughts together with Yatara who were now standing matching their positions.

A few moments later a gust of wind came from nowhere hitting Theodoric's hair. A light that looks like a circle that slowly widens and swirls in front of Theodoric and Yatara.

"There really is," Theodoric muttered still half incredulously.

Yatara hardened his jaw strongly, turning to the side of Theodoric who was amazed by what he had just seen.

"Prepare yourself, after this you will face many obstacles. Not only is it a long journey, but at any time there will be things that will threaten your life there." Obviously Yatara was honest, Theodoric thinned his lips somewhat in shock at the words of the figure who claimed to be the prince.

Nor could he undo his intentions and cancel all his agreements with Yatara. Because of Theodoric, it is also curious what kind of kingdom the Eternal Ice Yatara told him.

His shortened breathing made his fists tighten even more, making him tremble.The dim light in the corner of the state palace made the young man's body unable to attract the attention of the people around the palace hall. Theodoric didn't understand why his body was suddenly fragile like this, especially since his energy seemed to be drained away and left endless fatigue. All his energy seemed to be sucked so much that he was now standing up unable to.The shadow of someone approaching made Theodoric try to look up, he squinted because it felt like his eyes were burdened and dimmed by themselves."Prince?"

The comfort of being in his mother's arms seemed to make Theodoric in a dream now, the fragrance of his mother's familiar body was so fragrant that his eyelids instinctively closed by themselves.Want to fall asleep soon, and be able to sleep next to the mother like when he was a child."Where have you been all these time? Is it true, you went to the Eternal Ice Kingdom or something, until you didn't tell you the slightest bit about your condition while you were away." Said Rania patted her only son ligh

Raising his left eyebrow high as if to say 'why?'.Jackson stepped forward, smiling crookedly while observing Theodoric from head to toe.

He didn't want to face and deal with the tall figure who had iris like the fireball earlier.That person's fist alone had not had time to hit his body, but it was strange that Elma felt that she had been battered just because she was stared at sharply by the young man.

You know for yourself, no one is stronger than the four of us. Why do you have to do it?" Jackson still opposed."Is he someone you know or like? That's why you're acting suspiciously like this?"
