Laerra turned his body around and faced Riko. He smiled slightly and nodded his head. "But Riko, I never regret giving birth to you. Seeing you grow up as you are now, I am very happy. Forgive me for not being able to be by your side."Riko only fell silent at Laerra's words. He could see the sad look on Laerra's face as well as that sincere smile.Riko had thought that she should not have been born in this world. But hearing Laerra's story and words made Riko not feel that way anymore.Now she had a strong purpose why she should be born. She regretted that she had wavered in her beliefs and made her relationship with King Morwen bad."Mother... I am also grateful to be born from your womb. Thank you for giving birth to me," Riko said with a smile. Of course she was sincere in saying that to Laerra.Laerra was a little surprised to hear Riko's words. It seemed her decision to approach Riko was not wrong. "You look even more adorable, Riko.""Don't think of me like a child. I'm an adul
"Really? You can ask me directly now. I will answer whatever your question is." Laerra smiled gently at Riko.Riko was silent for a moment. There was one question that crossed his mind. But Riko hesitated to ask it. He was afraid she would not be ready to hear it.There was something that made Riko hesitant to ask Laerra. He was afraid of getting carried away again after knowing the answer from Laerra's mouth directly.Raja"Riko? Why are you so quiet?" Laerra asked looking confused at the silent Riko."Mother, there's actually something I want to know from you." Riko finally spoke up again but this time sounded more serious than before."What?" asked Laerra waiting patiently for what would come out of Riko's mouth.But Laerra was sure that the question had been well thought out by Riko so she remained silent for a while."Mother... what made you die?" asked Riko looking straight into Laerra's eyes.At once Laerra fell silent at Riko's question. There was a moment of silence between t
The clear sky did not bring pleasure to King Morwen's heart. He was still reluctant to accept that his life was only weeks away. He sat on the edge of the apartment rooftop looking up at the sky."Damn it! What should I do now?" King Morwen asked himself. He massaged the bridge of his nose to reduce the dizziness.The gust of wind that blew against his body did not deter him from going back down. It was clear King Morwen was frantic, at his age, but he had yet to defeat his enemy.King Morwen exhaled for a moment, as the air on the rooftop grew stronger. His gaze dropped down, looking at the buildings around him."What should I do?"Over and over again, King Morwen murmured about the survival of the land of Pyloruf, the land he ruled.Riko's words made King Morwen unable to think clearly at all, Riko was no longer on his side. Riko had sided with King Draco, of course it made King Morwen feel even more hopeless about the country of Pyloruf."How will the country I'm leading continue?
The day passed, until the sun re-emerged from the eastern horizon. Warmth invaded Riko's body who was wrapped in a blanket, the thin curtains covering the glass of her apartment seemed unable to withstand the rays of the sun.Riko blinked her eyes, her body aching as her muscles tensed up. "Ah... it's so hot, it feels so lazy to get out of this bed," Riko muttered.Riko let out a long breath with her eyes closed again, trying to gather her will along with balancing the cortex of light entering her retinas.Before she could do so, she was startled to hear King Morwen's voice from behind the door.Knock knock knock."Riko! What are you doing? What time is it already?!""Aish... I was just about to wake up," muttered Riko who was also jolted out of her sleep into a sitting position. Obviously she was surprised, especially since King Morwen jerked her very hard."Yes, I'm already awake. I'll be out in a moment."Riko's sense of hearing faintly heard the sound of footsteps moving away from
The night sky made Riko feel calm. Occasionally he whimpered as he felt pain all over his body. As Riko stood at the window of his room, he could see the passing public transportation."Heuh... I can't enjoy life like them. They look so peaceful without the burden of problems."Riko was still faithfully standing where she was. He took a step further to go outside the balcony of his room, looking directly at the beautiful view of the night sky that had been presented."What a beautiful sky," Riko murmured.Unlike Riko who was in the room, King Morwen was sitting on the sofa in the living room. King Morwen massaged his temples tiredly, thinking of tactics to attack the opponent.Riko's own skills still needed to be trained, but seeing Riko who had many bruises in several parts made King Morwen think negatively."Can I teach Riko who seems to be very lazy? Even waking up in the morning is very difficult."The next morning, King Morwen woke up first. The sky was still dark, as he woke up
The God's Cube was a power of considerable influence. So to give it to someone, it made Riko feel that she should take care of this God's Cube."No. No matter what, you won't get it Edward."Yes, the person Riko had been talking to earlier was none other than Edward, her own half-brother. Riko was already d to guard the God's Cube. After all, Edward would be able to open it."I only wanted to ask for the power of the God's Cube. Why do you insist on defending it?! We are family."Both of Riko's hands were clenched tightly. 'Until whenever, I will never give it away. Giving away the God's Cube.'"Never," Riko said with emphasis on every word.Of course, Riko's words infuriated Edward even more. "Hey! I told you we're family! You can't be like that." Edward became annoyed at Riko's attitude.''No. I don't want you to have it." Again and again Riko stared fiercely at Edward, even she felt bored if she had to deal with Edward."Damn it!" Edward said as he was about to throw a punch at Rik
he streetlights that illuminated New York City had been replaced by sunlight. Riko blinked her heavy eyes. She rubbed her eyes a little roughly, in order to move her eyelids.The window of her room was open, as she forgot to close it last night. The blowing wind made the curtain clock drift with the direction of the wind."Huh... what time is it?" Riko asked herself. She could barely fall back asleep last night, and could only lie on the bed with her body rolling to the right and left.After waking up completely, Riko got out of bed to take a shower. Before that, she stepped towards the window that was still wide open.Turning her head downward, the noise was deafening. The sound of car horns honking at each other made her sigh."Riko!""I-iiya, hold on."Riko who heard her name being called immediately jumped in surprise, it was nothing but that her position was currently near the window. It would not be funny if she had to free fall to the ground floor just because she was surprised
Edward and Valerie had planned for their next meeting. Of course, this time not in a public place.Valerie was in Edward's car. They intended to head to an empty building.Valerie was confused as to why Edward was taking her to the empty building. "Why do we have to be here?"Valerie looked at the empty building that had not been maintained at all. It was a little unnerving to look at up close.Edward had gotten out of the car, followed by Valerie beside him. "Look carefully. This building is not far from Riko's apartment. That will make it easier for us to observe."They had discussed the plan and today Edward and Valerie intended to carry it out."Come in," Edward said, stepping in first.Valerie followed Edward's lead and entered the building. They went into an empty room but there was a table with food on it."Don't tell me this food is ...." Valerie hung her words but she was sure Edward understood what she meant."Of course it is what you think it is. That food has been mixed wi
