They ran to the place where King Morwen was. Fortunately, Riko and Edward were able to survive the siege of trees falling one after another. In the history of their lives, this was the first time they worked together.Riko instantly turned into a snake. So did Edward. They marched after King Morwen. Riko was very worried about her uncle's condition. No less than Edward who was also curious about Elizabeth. He would not forgive himself if anything untoward happened to Elizabeth.'Why was I so stupid? Why was I so childish earlier? If I wasn't such an unstable child, I would still be with my mother right now,' Edward thought, in his mind now there was only Elizabeth.Riko looked at Edward with her snake gaze. Her tongue came out many times. "Watch your step, don't bump into anything."Edward turned his head, he agreed to Riko's advice using his own language. Indeed, she could not lie. Edward had several times almost crashed into the ruins of a building or a fallen tree on the side of t
Currently Riko was still trying to persuade King Morwen to give her permission to take the king to a black portal that was quite far from the current kingdom.This was done because Riko was afraid of anything happening to the king who was her own uncle. The thing she feared most was the crime that would occur. Because many things have happened unexpectedly lately.Riko did not want the king to be hurt with this black portal alibi from their enemy. She thought it was better to prevent it than for it to happen and be fatal."Riko, you don't have to go with me. You should stay in this palace, so that this palace is still safely guarded," the king said firmly while looking at his nephew.King Morwen knew what Riko was thinking, so it frightened the boy. But he tried to be calm and acted as if everything would go well until he got to where the black portal was."But uncle, don't you feel something strange about all this? For the past few days around the palace there have been strangers enc
"We must destroy this portal immediately!"That sentence made Riko and the few soldiers behind them even more shocked. They had come here to see the black portal, but why should it be destroyed now?"Uncle, why are you saying such things? What exactly happened to this portal? Is all this dangerous?" Guessed the increasingly suspicious Riko.King Morwen then turned his body around and looked at everyone behind him sternly."I don't know for sure what will happen if we insist on going through this black portal. But the thing that we must really understand, this portal is like a trap for us. Now we must find a way to destroy it or we must be able to pass through it," said the king.Riko nodded her understanding and then approached the portal. Paying more and more attention to this black portal, as if nothing would happen to them."Riko, what do you think about all this? Do you agree with what I just said?" King Morwen asked.Riko turned her gaze back to the king. "I'm still skeptical abo
"Uncle, how are you? Should we go back to the palace? Uncle looks very tired," said Riko, who realized that King Morwen was not in a good condition after they were almost sucked in by the black portal.Luckily, the divine cube came quickly to save them. Otherwise they would have been swallowed up by the black portal with a power they couldn't fight against. I don't know what kind of spell or power was used in the black portal, so they couldn't let their guard down to get close to it."We should build a tent first, maybe a hundred meters away from this place. I still want to examine this portal until we find the answer. You don't have to worry Riko, I've always been like this, probably because of my age. I'm just exhausted from the shock of the sudden attack," King Morwen explained.Riko fell silent again and turned her gaze to the black portal. She carefully observed what exactly was inside the black portal, making it difficult for them to conquer."Uncle, can we find the weak point o
As King Morwen had said last night, he would finally meet Elizabeth this morning. He was not alone, because Riko had said that she would accompany the king. It was intended that she could still protect the king and also she wanted to know the answer directly from Elizabeth."Riko, you should wait at the palace. If Elizabeth sees that you are with me, she will be angry and won't give an answer.""Uncle, don't worry, I will wait for you outside. Besides, I don't have any problems with Elizabeth like before, so you don't have to worry about that," Riko explained."Are you sure about all that?" Asked the king with emphasis.Riko nodded confidently and she reassured the king. "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not making a scene there. I will behave better and not be rash," said Riko."Well, if you've thought about it, don't violate it. We need Elizabeth right now, so we should be able to deal with it more calmly.""I understand that, uncle."King Morwen smiled warmly at that and then they went stra
"Dad, what is the matter you wish to discuss with me at this late hour?" Asked Riko who was already sitting cross-legged beside King Morwen."Tomorrow I will go back to see Elizabeth, as you said earlier. Would you like to come with me?"Riko had actually made her own plan, without the knowledge of the king. She would travel alone to the place where the black portal was. She had prepared everything and thought it through. If she told the king about her plan, she was sure that she would not get permission."I'd better wait for uncle in the palace, I think if Elizabeth's answer is the same as before, I'll get emotional about it all."Riko's answer was just an alibi from her, she couldn't possibly be telling the truth."Well, I think you've made the right decision," replied the king.Riko nodded in understanding and looked straight at the king. "So what is uncle's plan to see Elizabeth again? Won't she be suspicious if you come back to see her?""Perhaps I will give a simple reason, whic
Although he did not get the full answer about the black port from Elizabeth, at least King Morwen knew who was involved in it.King Morwen could not wait to tell all this to Riko, he would discuss with his nephew what they could do to get the full answer from Elizabeth.Arriving at the palace, the king looked at Riko's room where there was no guard at all. There were usually two to three people standing guard in front of the room."Where is she? Is she not in the palace?" King Morwen muttered, who then went straight to Riko's room.King Morwen pushed open the door and sure enough, it was dark. Even the small windows were closed tightly.King Morwen immediately rushed back out of the room, he was afraid of what was in his mind happening. He knew very well how ambitious Riko was compared to him."Don't let Riko do anything untoward, she really doesn't listen to me," King Morwen with with an angry glint in his eye."Where is Riko right now? Why isn't she in the palace?"The soldier immed
Initially King Morwen was going to go straight to the forest to look for Riko's whereabouts, but he did not do that right away. He went back to Elizabeth to ask her about it again.Even if they ended up in a fight, he would still force Elizabeth to tell him everything. He didn't care about anything right now, the most important thing was that he could find the answer to the black portal.Once there, King Morwen saw Elizabeth as if she was going somewhere and he immediately intercepted her with some of his soldiers who also blocked her.Elizabeth was very surprised by this and she tried to be more calm. "Excuse me king, does the king's arrival at this time of night still want to enjoy a cup of warm tea?"Elizabeth's sarcasm made King Morwen clench his fists even more."I will not repeat this conversation again, so just answer what you really know about the black portal? Answer, Elizabeth!"Elizabeth didn't seem to flinch at that, instead she smiled meaningfully. "How many times have I
