War And Throne Chapter 16 : Paper Leaflets
When Darren, Lake, and Finn heard the sound of the royal trumpet, they knew that there would be another announcement, guessing that there would be more information as promised by King Edward.The announcement quickly spread, the palace people said that there would be a large number of paper leaflets that would be printed and distributed throughout the place.Hearing the information, Darren immediately stood up from his seat, cleaning his dirty lower body, his movements followed by Lake and Finn."There are paper flyers, let's go to the city center, there must be a lot of people there, I'm curious about the flyers." Lake said enthusiastically, her words quickly agreed by Finn and Darren."Come on!"The three of them immediately left the lakeside, immediately moving towards the crowded place. Since they were in water clan territory, naturally most of the people passing near Darren, Finn, and Lake were water-powered and dressed in blue.When they joined the gathering, there were indeed m
War And Throne Chapter 17 : Royal Party
"Even if someone reports, I'm sure King Edward won't give me any punishment, unless he's disturbed and offended by my words, which I don't think are very wrong. He's ridiculous!" Lake was fiery this time. "Royal feast! Ha! Everyone was waiting for more information about the king abdicating the throne and the game. He should have explained first, then announced the party.""That's right, I agree with what you said, sweet girl, I was thinking the same thing."Darren, Finn, and Lake immediately looked behind their bodies, and a fat man was seen. He laughed softly and winked one eye at Lake, before galloping away with the cute dogs that he brought.Lake smiled with satisfaction, looking at Darren and Finn. "See? That man agrees with me too, oh come on.""It's possible that tonight King Edward will announce everything, it seems so, and that's why this party is being held." Darren said, which actually made a lot of sense, but Lake shook her head."It's too long, and it might not happen," La
War And Throne Chapter 18 : A Gift From Mom
Yupo wasn't in the cage, the big cat had disappeared somewhere. It would be a lie if Darren didn't panic. In fact, this time Darren's chest was already rumbling, his breathing up and down, intermittent.Darren closed the door to Yupo's cage in one slam. "Yupo, where?" he said frantically, the voice that came out of his lips sounded shaky, Darren looked around, looking for maybe Yupo was around.But alas, as far as the eye could see, Darren did not see Yupo. Yupo's not here, Darren was confused. Where did Yupo go?"Yupo, where are you?" Darren shouted loudly. He checked the back of the cage, but his favorite cat was not there.As the worry rose to his throat, Darren ran hard and fast towards the house. "Mom!" he called."Mom!" Darren didn't find his mother in the kitchen, so he looked elsewhere. This time, the room was Darren's seventh."Mom!" Darren opened Helena's unlocked room. Darren's breathing was already ragged, not to mention that sweat the size of corn kernels had just dropped
War And Throne Chapter 19 : A Dazzling Night
The crowd surged like a giant wave, the palace of the Dark Full Moon was packed with people, and everyone seemed to have decided to come, enjoying the fun event while they could. The palace seemed to be full, the spacious courtyard was filled with a large number of tables and chairs. On the table were dishes that were very appetizing, the smell was fragrant, making anyone want to eat them.In addition, what stunned Darren on the spot was the existence of a large enough stage set up in the middle of the yard. He could guess that the existence of the stage was the place for the show that would be shown.Everyone's clothes looked neater than usual, glittering and full of decorations that spoiled the eyes. Darren smiled at the sight he saw, still standing in front of the palace gate and watching the bustling atmosphere unfold before him.The night this time was favorable, the sky was clear and full of stars, and even the moon showed itself openly, illuminating the earthlings with its brig
War And Throne Chapter 20 : Fantastic Performance
Cassie grimaced softly. "I wanted to, really. But, my mom asked me to join her. So, I couldn't refuse."Darren nodded his head. "Oh, I see. Well, it's up to you, I won't force you.""You're okay, right, Darren?" asked Cassie."Me?" Darren showed his chest. A soft laugh escaped his lips. "Of course I'm fine.""Well, I guess I can't stay here too long. Look over there, my mom and dad are waiting. So, I'm leaving now, right?" Cassie excused herself."Go ahead, don't forget to enjoy the party, you should have fun.""Sure, I'll go, okay?" Cassie looked at Darren and Finn in turn while flashing a smile, before she finally turned around after Darren invited her to.The red skirt Cassie was wearing fluttered slightly as the girl left, joining her parents. The center of Darren's attention then turned back to Finn."He told me earlier that he wasn't sure about coming here.""Like Lake?""That's right."Finn chuckled softly as he leaned back, folding his arms. "I'm really surprised.""Astonished
War And Throne Chapter 21 : It's Getting Crowded
"LAKE?!"Darren and Finn said it simultaneously, as Lake appeared behind them. Surprise colored the faces of the two young men. Lake smiled and waved, then the beautiful girl pulled up an empty chair, sitting right next to Finn.Darren blinked his eyes. "Lake, are you coming?""I'm here, so I'm coming, right?" Lake laughed softly."That's not what I meant, earlier you said...""Oh Darren!" Lake waved a hand as she rolled her clear eyeballs. "I didn't say I wasn't coming, I just wasn't sure, I hadn't made up my mind yet.""And now, your decision is to come here," Finn said.Laughing softly, Lake snapped her fingers. She glanced at Finn and said, "That's right, Finn, I decided to come." Lake looked at the faces of her two friends quite carefully. "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you like my coming and sitting here with you?""Hey, what are you talking about?" Darren chided quietly."The expression on your face seems to imply something.""We're just wondering, you just showed up here,
War And Throne Chapter 22 : Unfinished
The sensation of floating in the air for a few moments could be felt by everyone when the performance of the wind clan began. They were lifted up, shrieking in fear, but a sense of joy also crept into their chests.The same feeling can also be felt when the ice clan performs. They can freeze water, making the place slippery, and even though it is a summer night, snow suddenly falls from the sky.Everyone is getting excited, and when the earth clan comes on stage and starts to showcase their talents, the ground underfoot suddenly feels shaky.One would think that instead of creating a grand performance like the clans that performed before, the earth clan would create complete destruction. The ground shook and swayed as if signaling an earthquake.As a result, the people of Crimson were already quite restless and frightened. However, that feeling didn't last long. This was because suddenly, the ground rose up, forming a sculpture.People didn't know what it was, but as the ground took s
War And Throne Chapter 23 : Not The Main Cast
Sarah pulled Lake away from the crowd, Lake had no idea what Sarah was doing to her at the moment. The reason behind the girl's treatment was completely incomprehensible to Lake."Sarah, what are you doing?" Lake screeched along the steps. "What do you want from me? Where are you taking me?" Lake blurted out questions. Her face was already filled with a fog of confusion as she stared at Sarah, who looked like she was panicking."Lake, I need your help," Sarah said once she was far enough away from people.Lake and Sarah were now standing face-to-face. Lake blinked her eyes, "Help with what?" she asked.Sarah was silent for a moment, her lips twitching, she seemed hesitant to say something. Lake tried to find her own answer. "Wait a minute, don't tell me that you-" Lake gaped. She looked at Sarah's appearance once more, the girl in front of her was a performer, and now Sarah was pulling her away from Finn and Darren. And that means...Lake froze. "No," she said firmly, accompanied by a

Chapter 36 : Where Did Mom Go?
Two days later, as night fell, Darren sat on his not-so-wide bed. The young man bent his knees, a tattered piece of paper in his hands. For the umpteenth time, Darren stared at it, reading the lines on it.Darren let out a long breath along with the cold that pierced his skin. The young man didn't close the window, letting the wind into his room."Tomorrow is the day of the first challenge." Darren muttered, "I don't know what game King Edward will come up with."That's right, that's what the flyer said. Darren had read and listened. It wasn't a serious matter that he had to think about for a long time, but Darren felt that he still had to prepare himself.If he deliberately failed himself during the game, it might attract great suspicion, especially if King Edward realized it. What should he do if that happened? Darren didn't know."I do need to foil myself, but I need to do it carefully so it's not too obvious." Darren straightened his back, his hands already clenched into tight fis

Chapter 35 : Acquaintance
"Darren, are you serious?" The movement of Cassie's hand, which was plucking a blade of grass, stopped when Darren's words floated in the air."I can't be lying, that's the reality of what happened to me," Darren said.Cassie and Nail looked at each other, their faces were almost the same—filled with suspicion, but they were also confused, wondering to themselves how the things Darren said could possibly happen. But, that was the truth. They believed Darren's words.Previously, Darren had told Cassie and Nail about the incident he had experienced—the incident in which he had inevitably had to participate in the game for the seat of a prince. Currently, they are joining the fire clan for the good work of cleaning up their place.The streets were cleared, swept clean, the mud removed, the grass that had grown long was neatly trimmed, and the trash that was scattered about was thrown away. Mutual cooperation will undoubtedly be completed quickly if it is done together like this."What ki

Chapter 34 : Who Is The Person?
"Look, I'm not trying to be accusatory or anything, it's just that anything can happen, right?" Finn looked at Darren with a serious look on his face."And?"Finn licked his dry lips before he finally answered, "It was probably Nail who put your name in that glass box, so you ended up being listed as one of the contenders for the Crimson Prince position." Finn's shoulders shrugged as Darren widened his eyes. "It's just my guess, no one knows how, not even you.""Nail?" Darren squeaked softly, his eyes blinking rapidly. "Why are you accusing him of doing this to me?""Darren ...." Finn let out a long breath. "Like I said before, I'm not accusing Nail at all, it's just my guess.""Nail would never do something like that.""Well, that's up to you. If you believe that, that's your business. I'm just saying that someone can be mean to you even if they're very nice to you. It's not that I'm saying Nail is mean to you, it's just that he might mean well to get you into the game. Okay, anyway,

Chapter 33 : Suddenly Registered
Finn's shouted words had Darren rooted to the spot, he cringed slightly, his lips parted."You can't jump to conclusions like that, I haven't even explained anything yet, okay?" Finn chided loudly, "And please don't cut me off again while I'm talking, you've got it all wrong, Darren.""What do you mean, Finn?" asked Darren, his voice low, almost a whisper. The young man blinked, his gaze not leaving his best friend's face."You're wrong, none of what you said before is true. That's why, you should listen to my explanation first, don't just talk at length like before, especially when it was a mistake."Darren shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about.""No one is hostile, holds a grudge, or someone is trying to cheat me. That doesn't exist, that's bullshit." Finn began to explain, his words clear and lucid.Darren moved his hand, "but earlier you said--""I didn't say anything, you came to your own conclusion," Finn said, this time it was his turn to cut Darren o

Chapter 32 : Anyone Cheating?
"Everyone, listen carefully. Before you go back to your homes, I'm going to share some important information with you all."All the fourth-year students immediately looked to the front, their eyes fixed on Master Jael, who had previously said that class time was over and everyone should get ready to go home. But, now the master wanted to provide additional information."This won't take so long that it will take up your time to go home, so listen up for a moment." Master Jael clapped his hands together once, his facial expression becoming more serious, and after watching his students listen, he cleared his throat softly and then continued. "I just received information from the elders, the elders received information from the kingdom, or more precisely, King Edward himself conveyed the information. Now, I will convey this information to all of you.""What information do you mean, master?" asked Gaby as she raised her hands high, she was indeed an overly curious little girl, her curiosit

Chapter 31 : Darren's Idea
With his body straightened, Finn faced Darren fully. "Seriously, you have an idea, Darren? Please tell me right now." Finn pleaded, high hopes already soaring in his chest."I just thought my idea could be tried," Darren replied, "of course if you agree.""Darren, please tell me right now." Finn urged, "I need to hear that. And you're right, maybe I can try your idea."Darren's head nodded. "So, what if you put your name in that glass box, again? You could try, right?"Instead of Finn responding quickly, Nail spoke first, starting with a flick of his finger. "I agree, you can try that, Finn, after all, registration isn't closed yet, there's still time."Darren chimed in again, "What do you think, Finn?""Can I do that?" asked Finn, doubt crossing his expression."Why not? Who's going to tell you not to? In fact, your name isn't even on the list, so you just put your name back in the box, it's all done, and you'll be listed again." Nail clapped his hands, the grin on his face growing w

Chapter 30 : Provisional Player List
It was true what Nail said, the Crimson Country's vast and clean city square was full of people, especially in a certain part, located near the fountain, where a crowd had gathered, right in front of an information board.Darren and Nail were still standing at the entrance to the town square, both of them exchanging glances."That's where the information is posted," Nail said, "The sign lists the provisional names of those who will participate. Let's take a look."Nail waved a hand, instructing Darren to move forward immediately, then join the people at the front."Nail!""Yeah, why?"Darren ran a little to catch up with Nail, who had stopped in front of him. "Nail, I think it's better to wait for the crowd to die down first so you can easily read the writing there, keep looking for your name."Nail's head turned back, staring at the crowd. "Yes, you're right, but I'm already very curious.""Suit yourself, I'm just suggesting that if you want to see it now, so be it." Darren shrugged

Chapter 29 : He Needs Darren Again
By the sixth day, the paper with the names of those who would be included in King Edward's game was getting more and more in the glass box, it was almost full, just a little more. Tomorrow was the last day, but every day, many people still came to the palace to enter their names. Some came alone and entered their names bravely and confidently, some came represented by their parents, and some even asked to be accompanied by other people (friends, family, cousins, etc.) just like Nail, who asked Darren and Cassie for help that time.As we approached the last few days before registration closed, it was clear that people were very excited, which meant that the game was about to start, and everyone wanted to see it.And here Darren was, right in his yard, he was leading the way, venturing closer to Helena, who was doing her routine of watering the plants so that they wouldn't wilt.Darren was about to make a confession, he had prepared himself. Helena smiled and greeted Darren once he was

Chapter 28 : Helena's Willpower
Gio returned to see King Edward after being asked to go on an errand. The handsome man met the king, who was currently reading a book in a very large and spacious private library, filled with books lined up on the shelves.King Edward had his face down, looking at the text he was reading, when Gio, the royal advisor, appeared near him. King Edward looked up, closed his book, shifted the chair he was sitting on, then turned his body around.The king saw Gio bending his body before him, ready to receive the information he had assigned to his personal advisor."Gio, so what?" King Edward asked, looking at Gio with a curious look on his face.Gio's lips pressed together for a moment before giving an answer, others would know if the man was thinking of the right sentence to say."Everything is good, Your Majesty, the plan is going smoothly as desired. It's already the third day, and the glass boxes on the steps of the palace are getting more and more.""I see.""That's right, my king, I'm
