2024-10-29 19:42:56When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Gerl said:
“There you go, come down. I just brought it here.”
Jovie was surprised and asked:
"Wow, why don't you take me inside quickly?"
“I still have to go to the Giga area. I heard that there was a protest about the death of a liquor dealer.”
“Ah, the thing about the bartender named Arabell who died when a soldier pinned his neck to the ground? The case made headlines in the media. People are protesting to get justice for him."
“Yes, this case has caused a lot of notoriety to the Imperial soldiers. It's true that the 'worm makes the soup pot'. If the protests spread all the way here, I'll be tired."
“Well then, you go. Remember that carefully.”
Jovie jumped out of the car. The two guards standing there hurriedly opened the gate for Jovie. Jovie thanked him and continued to run inside
A florist in the royal garden saw him and waved his hand and called his name. Jovie stopped to ask:
“Hello, Miss Elli. How are you these days?"
“Very well. If you're not feeling well all day, how can you stay here, baby?"
Jovie went around looking at the different flowers, bent down to smell them all, and said:
“Acknowledge the fragrant flowers in the royal garden. But what I like the most is this blue flower. What's it called, miss?"
“Roli flowers, which are found in the state of Foks, are the most powerful flowers, able to adapt to any kind of environment. At first, she was a little worried that this flower would have trouble growing when planted here, but day by day the Roli flower is still lush, blooming into many beautiful flowers.”
“Ah, but can I ask what kind of flower Princess Elvina likes?”
“The flower that the princess likes is the Silia of Dowan State. Of the 300 species of flowers in the garden, it is the most beautiful. But it can only grow in Merricrido, not elsewhere.”
Jovie nodded, pointed to a cluster of Silia flowers, said:
“Miss Elli, can you cut some flowers for me?”
“Okay, but what are you going to do with them? Or… are you going to give it to the princess?”
“Hey hey. Now that I made a mistake with her, I need to bring something to apologize for. Hopefully, thanks to it, I won't lose my job."
“It is true that young people today are the only ones who still have the habit of giving flowers to women. Anyone who can love me will be very happy.” - Miss Elli said while handing her beautifully decorated bouquet.
Jovie sniffed the flowers and said:
“I also hope to find my true love. A flower needs a suitable vase. I vow to be the vase that enhances the beauty of any 'flower' that will match me."
Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy. Some old memories came back in a light headache. I don't know why, I just know that I've never had this happen before. Miss Elli remembered something when she saw Jovie smell the bouquet, exclaiming:
“The Silia flower will make the person who smells it recall old memories no matter how long or long ago he wanted to forget. If you can't remember a certain memory, this flower will help you to remember."
"Oh my god, that's it."
Indeed, Jovie's headache was caused by old memories that had just flooded into his head when he smelled that flower. He instinctively reached into his pocket. He remembers everything about that day, 5 months ago, the day he met the person who gave him the sling... He wondered where the slingshot was now, wishing he could find someone to keep it. According to his conjecture, it probably be the men in black.
Suddenly, he suddenly saw Princess Elvina. Princess Elvina's sari bird named Iya flying over and sitting on his shoulder. He smiled and whispered:
“Why did you fly here, Iya? Or are you going to lead me to your master's place? So let's go."
Then he gently waved his hand to signal the bird to fly away. As expected, the bird flew in the direction of electricity. Jovie also followed. Iya flew very fast. In less than 2 minutes, she flew through the window into palace room 4. Jovie stood in front of the mansion's lobby, redecorated the bouquet, took a deep breath, and walked in. The inside of the mansion exudes a sense of luxury and nobility. At the entrance there is a device to measure body temperature, scan the whole body and check the identity to see if it is a person working in the palace. Usually everyone has to take the test twice a week, except for the king, who is exempt from this procedure. The scanner detected a suspicious object in Jovie's hand, checked it, it was a bouquet of flowers, and immediately announced:
“Jovie, you brought flowers from outside. That is not allowed!”
Jovie replied calmly:
"Why not? This is what the princess told me to bring in. This is perfectly valid, isn't it?"
“If it's the princess giving the order, fine. But next time watch out, this is classified as an item that endangers the royal family.”
“How can flowers be considered dangerous? For example, this flower only reminds people of old memories, that can't be called dangerous."
“Some flowers have the potential to cause harm to the user, such as the Dwen flower of the Holiver State, which makes people suffocate because of its concentration, or the Imanto species of the state of the same name because it is cultivated. Popular in Imanto, this flower causes the person who smells it to hallucinate and fall into a high state, so its petals are used to make Fauk opium, which is what criminals consider '' gold mines' and 'panacea', using them for the purpose of selling to addicts for a profit or trying them out yourself."
"I see, then I'll pay more attention next time."
"Okay, then come inside."
Jovie went inside, thinking:
“Well, it's a coincidence that special flowers are all found in 'Federation J', right?”
He walked up the stone-encrusted and luxuriously carpeted stairs leading up to the floor. A special feature is that the carpet is designed with two colors of green and red, and Jovie knows the purpose it is designed like that. He is still subtle enough not to encroach on the green carpet. Suddenly, a maid accompanied the carpet down the stairs. As soon as she saw him, she smiled shyly and greeted him. Jovie also greeted him back. Unfortunately, she slipped, and the supporting leg was about to step into the green part. Jovie reacted very quickly and rushed to pick her up. The maid was shocked, her face was pale, and she was gasping for breath because she almost touched the "line of death". Jovie hugged her waist and pulled her up, saying:
“Next time you walk carefully. Try not to 'overstep' her limits, because whether intentionally or unintentionally, the only sentence for her is death. You must know well what I mean. The carpet of stairs has been separated into two clear red and blue parts, symbolizing two different worlds in this palace. You should know what world you belong to. Knowing your identity will help you survive in this mansion."
The maid was a bit confused and scared. She likes Jovie, but it's just a one-sided love. She doesn't expect a return because she knows she doesn't deserve someone who is working as a private tutor for the princess, and is teaching at a famous school, but she thought he should at least ask her if she was okay in that situation, not say that cold, emotionless sentence. She seemed to be disillusioned, because she thought Jovie was an emotional person. She sadly lowered her head.
Jovie didn't say goodbye but continued on. Reaching the 4th floor, he ran to the corridor connecting the main mansion and the annex. As soon as he reached the end of the corridor, he saw the silhouettes of Princess Elvina A. Sinclain and Duke Kinsley at the end. They were standing there and talking with rather serious expressions on their faces. Jovie immediately hid the bouquet behind his back and slowly approached, alerting the other two:
“I would like to see the princess and the duke.”
Kinsley saw it and patted Elvina on the shoulder and walked over to Jovie. He was quite pleased to see him, saying:
“Jovie, I heard you were scolded by Elvina a lot. Then remember not to offend the princess anymore. I have to tell you a lot.”
Jovie tilted her head to look at Elvina's sulky, sullen face that didn't even look at him once, and whispered to the duke:
“I didn't expect the princess to be so angry that she didn't even look at my face. Looks like you have to come and make peace with her too.”
“Did you bring something to please the princess?”
"Wow, how do you know that?"
“I smell a fragrant aroma. Is it the Silia flower?”
"You guessed it right."
“Since I heard from Elvina that she liked that flower, and you come with her often, I thought you would know too. This smell can only be the smell of flowers.”
"Then please let me go over there."
“Yes, go there to comfort. I believe that if it were you, the princess would be resentful and let it go.”
Jovie walked over to Elvina, who was sulking and said:
“Hello princess, are you mad at me?”
“Hmm, why are you angry? Didn't you have to save a Koko that got stuck on a tree branch so you were late?"
“Princess, please forgive me. Why are you making your face like that? You don't look pretty at all."
“None of your business!”
"If the princess doesn't mind, please accept my small gift as an atonement and then we can go to school."
“I don't accept gifts from a tutor. What good does a tutor have to offer?”
"This thing has no material value, but in terms of meaning, it is much better than jewels and ivory, because it contains the heart and mind of the giver."
"Really? What's so special about it?"
Jovie immediately took out a bouquet of flowers from her back and gave it to Elvina. At this moment, she smiled brightly, picked up the bouquet, and exclaimed:
“Oh, flower Silia, how did you get it?”
“I was given flowers by her. Do you like it?”
"I like it..."- Elvina knew she had made a mistake, corrected-"...Well, that's normal, but it's your heart anyway, I'll just accept it and let it go for you. .”
"Okay then, glad you received this rustic gift, so let's go inside." - Jovie said.
The two were going inside when a voice came from behind:
"What are you two doing out here?"
It was the voice of King Algorik III. He put on a python-skin robe, stroked his thick beard that reached his chest, walked majestically, with a fresh face, next to him was General Babilo, followed by a few of his servants. Jovie and Kinsley bowed respectfully to the king while Elvina did not move, only turned her grim face to the right.

Watching the king come out of the hall, Jovie saw the worried look on his face as he talked to Babilo. They only stopped when they saw the appearance of the princess. Without looking at their mouths, Jovie also guessed that what they were talking about was Hochi's failed escape after the terrorist attack on the convoy escorting him to The Court of Highness was stirring, stirring. the whole world, prompting even the largest television station Violeska- Kimmik News to rush to Voidenorten to arrange an exclusive interview with the king today to interview the facts and some issues surrounding the case. He knew that other than Kimmik News, there was no television station in Violeska with enough reputation and potential to interview with members of the royal family, enough to know how powerful and famous that station was in Violeska. People who often watch TV always say: the news from Kimmik News is always more reliable than other stations. Most think that if that station ranks second, no st

Duke Kinsley ran his hand through his beard, just remained silent and walked away. He walked faster than before, as if so Jovie wouldn't see his present expression and wistful face. Looking at Kinsley's current appearance made Jovie think of Babilo's servant. He knew it was a woman and suddenly realized that he was extremely curious about that girl. I think:“Babilo once mentioned before members of the royal family that in his spoils, when he was gone, he even brought a little girl to the king. I once saw her when I was 15 years old and entered the Voidenorten palace to meet the king with her father - then the leader and also the representative of the Violeska labor union in general and the working class of the country. Violeska then specifically asked for a pardon for Todoliori, a member of the federation who had been arrested on charges of stealing and fraud just for the sake of his family even though he had sincerely confessed and confessed, then my father also asked the king to ab

Kinsley knew Jovie would have such a question, he had aroused suspicion in Jovie's heart from his conversation with the king just now. He did not show any concealment in front of a curious young man. On the contrary, he replied with a rather jovial attitude: “If you want to know, I have no reason not to answer. 'The Great Adventure' was initiated with the aim of finding a treasure in the universe. After the royal scientists learned that the treasure was located on a planet with life, Babilo took pride in assuring the queen that she would bring the treasure back to her homeland. I was one of those who vehemently opposed it when I heard the plan to take it by force. The empress also agreed with me, and furthermore thought that the treasure actually belonged to that planet, saying that if I did, it would be no different from a robber." “So what exactly is that treasure?” "That until now, no one but Babilo and the king knows, not even me." “Babilo has every incentive to destroy the que

The next day, early in the morning, a signal was transmitted from the multi-function pillow to Jovie's sleeping brain, causing him to open his eyes and wake up. He sat on the bed, dazed, his eyes blank as if he was still asleep. When the daze was gone, Jovie turned her eyes to the expensive smartwatch in her hand, looked at it carefully, and then exclaimed: “Only 14 days left? It's so fast." When he walked downstairs, the first thing he saw was his mother packing her things into a cloth bag. He remembered that his mother had a picnic with the neighbors today. Curious he asked: “Are you going to have a short trip today? What did you bring for it?" “Ah, not much”- Sev showed her bag to Jovie- “I put my camera, sunscreen, Smart Device, CC card, and cash in here. All of them are essentials for a short trip.” "Where are you and the others going?" “The Phonot Hills.” “Come on, why are you all going there? That place is currently under the supervision of the royal army, guarded for the

Jovie has not had time to stop being shocked about her father's work, now she has to receive an unexpected truth from Affa's own mouth. Confused, he said: "What? Is Hochi the one who killed your parents?" “Yes, you must remember the scene of my parents' death, right?” Jovie felt a lump in her throat and stammered: “How… how could I forget? I was there with you… watching the bodies of two people lying on the rubble. I've always wondered who would kill them so heartlessly. I treat you and them like family. I hate him and swear to kill him for you if I find him. But is the real killer Hochi? How do you know?” “Because I have seen everything. Before he came to me, Hochi went there with a bunch of people, forcing them to do something. I heard the word 'Fauk' from his words, and suddenly I guessed that he might be in possession of Fauk so…” “‘Fauk’?! Isn't that the drug banned in Violeska?" "Right. I never thought my parents would get involved in such a dangerous drug.” “Does he mean
The Outlaws Chapter 12: " Hero x Villain"
The first class of the day in Jovie's class has begun. The school, which was bustling with laughter, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear the leaves flying, the birds singing outside, and the footsteps of the teachers entering the classroom they were in charge of. The first day of the week is always the day when homeroom teachers spend 10 minutes in their class to do the steps to start a new day for their students, creating excitement and motivation to start an energetic school week... Jovie opened the door and saw the scene inside the class more than 40 students with their hands on the table, sitting neatly in their study area, their eyes focused on Jovie. As usual, the class president stood up and shouted: “Everybody, stand up. Speak the sentence loud!” The whole class chanted in unison at the command: “Studying is a part of our life, God Viole will lead us to our own path. Our parents, teachers, and king must be always respected!” and each person raised their arms to ches

“Do you think it is wrong to protest for justice and freedom for the people of Federation J? We're not there, how can we hastily conclude that what Hochi said is a lie? You are our teacher. You once said: 'If you haven't been in someone else's shoes or at least witnessed what a witness experiences, you shouldn't rush to conclude anything?'“I only said one thing correctly, and that is that you once said that sentence. But you should remember that you have now been allowed to continue with the media.”“Does anyone follow the Kimmik News channel made from the news station with the same name with it? That channel specializes in official news from the Federation J because one of their branches is also based there. You will know the brutality of the Revolutionaries if you regularly watch the news. Maybe you’re one of those people who don't watch the news, so you surely are still easy to be brainwashed by Hochi with perverted thoughts about the government indirectly."Falcon still remained
The Outlaws Chapter 14: "Half-truth"
That's what Jovie wants. By using a psychological method of telling half-truth, he made his students no longer think of asking questions or following Hochi's side, ensuring their safety, and also quelling the thought of protesting. The demand for justice and freedom for the people of the J Federation is boiling among the students who have secretly imbibed the ideology that Hochi spoke to all the people on the way to be escorted, placing hope on the road to liberating the J Federation or at least sympathize with his fake noble personality.Those words not only did not backfire but were successful beyond expectations when no one dared to question Jovie anymore. In them, there was an invisible fear of the government and anxiety about the uncertain future of Hochi, their family and themselves.Even though what Jovie said came from the fact that he wanted the best for his students, he did not expect that fears had formed in those children's minds. They even decided to censor th

Are you planning to attack the governor and his daughter?”The guards saw that Affa had suppressed the target and immediately stopped, while Jovie exclaimed: "Affa, you...", the crowd was shocked, and everyone gasped. Affa held his hand tightly and continued:"What's your name? How dare you recklessly act in such a crowd? You should rest in peace and bear the blame.

Enemies are everywhere, so are their spies, they definitely know about my assignment to you this time. Whether or not the weapon truck can safely reach the palace depends entirely on your bravery and talent. Don't think I'm flattering you, it's the truth.

How could he know about the treasure?" - The king stood restless, his face pale from anxiety to the point of biting his nails.After hearing this, Jovie suddenly imagined the character that Aragad was talking about and thought:“That person has a way of acting similar to 'him' - that long-haired guy.
