Adias Floryn: Get Back The Kingdom
Section 43: Chaos in the Rifendell Kingdom
Rifendell Kingdom
"Huh, that dream again." said Lily who suddenly woke up.
"What dream is the Princess? Is it a dream about that man again?" said the waiter who always accompanied Lily since childhood. The man was Dias.
"Yes, it seems so.. I don't know why I've been dreaming about her lately." Reply Lily while holding her dizzy head.
"What kind of dream is the Princess? A good dream or a bad dream?" Ask the waiter bluntly.
However, when he recalled the dream, suddenly his cheeks were red.
"Lord Princess, the Princess' cheeks are red" said the surprised Servant.
"Ah, where is it possible!?" Lily still couldn't believe the servant's words.
"Let's look here" said the waiter, showing the mirror to the elf girl's face.
After Lily observed her own face, it turned out to be true if her cheeks were red.
“Haaa, why is this?”
"Eng.. So, is the Princess right now, um.. is in love?," he said with a whimper toward Lily.
"Ma-ma-ma-ma-mana may!! Di-di-di-he's nobody to me!! I-d-don't misunderstand!!" Denied Lily while blushing in shame.
"No! It must be a fever! I'm sure it is. Lizbeth, get me some water!"
"Good.." His servant Lizbeth went and brought him some water.
"Based on the Princess, insensitive to her own feelings," inner Lizbeth.
Meanwhile, the demo that took place within this Kingdom did not end.
"Reject man! Reject the barbarians! Decline extinction!" Shouted the protesters who were in front of the royal palace.
It has been about 4 days they did a demo in front of the Royal palace. The more days, the more protesters who come, so that the place is getting boisterous.
An ambassador already sent by the Kingdom of Valinor had come to the place of King Obeyron, and was now discussing the next step in order to be freed from this situation.
"Let's do the plan" said the ambassador sent by the next Kingdom to resolve the issue. The King only nodded in agreement to his plan.
Moments later, the King finally appeared on the balcony of the Kingdom. Some of the guards activated magic to harden his voice.
"O people of Rifendell! Please calm down everyone!!" Shouted the Obeyron King very loudly. Hearing that, the place was suddenly silent.
"Send a representative to have a discussion! I promise to hear all your requests.
"Send one of you right now!" Shouted the Obeyron King. Then he went back inside.
Then they quickly decided who was the right person to voice the message. An elf man who had always been the foremost in conveying his aspirations in public.
The man went straight into the Royal Palace accompanied by the Royal guards.
The man began to speak enthusiastically. About the history of why elves and humans were hostile in the past.
Then he expressed if he was furious with human behavior that is currently contracting with the Devil nation. Though it was clear that the Devil was the enemy of both races, but somehow the humans still cooperated with him.
Not long after, the Ambassador began to speak up. "Sorry to interrupt your words, but I think you're totally wrong to taste a human cooperating with a Devil."
"Well, isn't that so, man? You didn't read the news, did you?" Reply to the man of the protest.
"You say as if all men had contracted with Satan, but not all of them were. Our kingdom is currently also being preoccupied by humans who are contracting with Devils. Many of us have been killed by the demon-human, so we suffer more than you.." Continue with the Ambassador.
“But still you humans contract with the Devils! Soon you will do the same! I am the most know of the hypocritical nature of man!”
"Well, do you know if the Kingdom of Farnesse who had contracted with the Devil began to aggressively conquer the surrounding areas? If it is allowed to continue like that, then soon they will destroy our Kingdom! Neither your kingdom nor the kingdom I occupy!”
" We can't drag on drowning in quarrels, it's time for us to work together. Our enemy is the same now! all humans who have contracted with the Devil! Our kingdom absolutely nobody commits such a heinous act. What you see in the news is not our citizens, but the contraband men of the Kingdom of Farnesse."
"O King!! We ask strongly not to cooperate with humans any more! They have been doing evil contracts with Devils which are strictly forbidden since the agreement between elves and humans!” said the man of the protest again.
Although the man was clear if he lost the argument, but somehow he still remained insistent and had a useless debate. Until finally they did not reach the meeting point at all.
“Mr Princess, don't eavesdrop here. We are forbidden to eavesdrop here, right?” said Waiter Lily who caught Lily.
“Sssstt.. silent.” From the beginning, Lily had been listening to everything until the end from behind the door of the meeting room.
"In essence, the masses want absolute freedom without any threat from the humans who are there! We don't want to be kicked out again and lose another victim because of that barbaric human being."
"Kriieeett.." Suddenly the door opened.
"–Sett.." Quickly, Lily moved away from the door, then pretended to walk as usual.
From that door came out the ordinary-faced man, but from his expression he seemed to want something.
He grinned for a moment, yet when the two of them's gazes met, the grin turned suddenly into a warm smile.
“Hmm.. chance..” murmured the man. Lily was only confused because of her behavior that seemed to have a certain intent.
“Good afternoon Princess Lily Obeyron, no other Princess is as beautiful as you and as smart as you.” Sweep friendly.
“Ah, yes.. Thank you,” reply Lily politely. After that, he immediately left from there.
“Wait a minute! Princess, as the son of the Obeyron King and the Princess of the Rifendell Kingdom, what do you think of the humans who contracted with the Devil?” tanyakanya.
Because it was too sudden, Lily simply replied with what it was,”Eng.. I think it's true from what Dad said. Not all humans are in a contract with the Devils, we cannot strike all humans equally, because each human being if he has a share of each good and bad, ” he replied.
“I also actually think so, it's just that it's very difficult to convince all those who are protesting out there and realize that actually elves and humans are a mutually reinforcing race.”
Lily frowned, because what she said was very different when arguing with her father and the ambassador sent from Valinor Kingdom.
“Therefore, can you who are in the position of the Princess be able to convince all of us to get enlightenment and not blame each other anymore? I know very well that actually antagonizing humans is the wrong thing, just that everyone is furious because of the behavior of those who have kidnapped the elves and made offerings to summon Devils.”
“Wait a minute, Mr. Putri.” said Lizbeth supported their conversation.
“Sorry sassy, but currently the Princess is not allowed to leave this Kingdom at all,” Continue while putting on the body right in front of Lily.
“Lizbeth?”
Suddenly, the man bowed deeply to 90 degrees. “I'm really begging you, we really need your voice in order to make people aware. If you follow me then help me to resuscitate the people who are still covered with darkness, surely this demo will be finished and there will be no more fighting,” he said.
“Liz.” Lily then asks Lizbeth to step aside from her presence.
“T-lord Princess!?” Lizbeth is confused by Lily's behavior.
“Alright, if it is for the peace of this Kingdom, I will accept,” he said.
“Thank you, Princess.. You really think about the fate of the Rifendell People. With the Princess, this Kingdom will definitely be saved,” the man replied.
“Shortly! Allow me to come with you to accompany the Princess.”
‘Lizbeth, take it easy, I'm fine.” Reply Lily to appease her Servant.
“Alright, you can come too. Then, come with me,” said the man of the protest as he stepped out.
The two of them followed him to the garden of the Kingdom.
“Alright, from here I will use teleportation magic to avoid those protesters.” Said the Man.
“Oh yes, sorry sassy for not introducing yourself. My name is Ryan, happy to meet you.” he said which was then continued by casting spells.
For a moment, there was a light circling where they stood. Not long after, the two of them disappeared within seconds.
*Then…
“Tok-tok-tok.. Princess, I have completed my PR, may I ask permission to check the property of Princess?” said Halvar who was currently standing in front of Lily's room door.
“Mr Princess?” Halvar felt strange because after being knocked many times but there was absolutely no answer.
Out of worry, he had to break into it immediately.
“Shelf!!”
“Mr Princess?” When looking around, the room had no occupants at all. He checked every corner of the room. Under the mattress, in the bathroom, or in the closet, but found no one.
“Where is he?”
Halvar decided to search all over the Kingdom for help from other guards.

“Zunggg.” Ryan's teleportation had led them to a room that wasn't large enough, but there were already many people waiting there.
“Hai, Ryan, wait.. Huh!? Rich ever see?” Ask his friend Alfred while surprised to see the girl in front of him.
“Greetings, I'm Lily Obeyron. Princess of King Obeyron.” said Lily politely.
“Hey, you're crazy! it's out of plan! Do you want to go to jail for kidnapping?” Said Vaness sitting on the table.
“Okay, what the hell are you thinking, Ryan? You think we can just be free after having captured her?” alfred said while patting the jidat.
Others have commented the same. Regarding Ryan's steps are too reckless, because they might be the ones who will be imprisoned or even sentenced to death.
“Just relax, if we want our plan to succeed, we should also do this. May the King also understand.”
“What are you guys talking about?” Asked Lily who was surprised because it did not connect with their conversation. However, they ignore Lily and continue.
“Mr Princess, I have a bad premonition,” Lizbeth whispered to Lily.
“I know, if the King will definitely avoid the slightest dispute, for that, I think he will not dare to take risky steps such as killing or hunting us. For this reason, so that the King listens to our voices, we must do this,” explained Ryan.
“Keep us what is this Princess?” back to Alfred. Everyone looked towards Lily and Lizbeth.
“Bukk!!” Suddenly Vaness hit Lizbeth unconscious in the stomach.
“Lizbeth!!”
“Sorry Princess, but we have to do this.” Ryan said.
Not long after, one of his colleagues took the rope and gave it to Ryan.
“One more time, I say sorry.. I promise I will keep you well,” continued Ryan who then tied the rope on Lily's hands and feet.
After that, he sat Lily on a chair and tied it up to make the girl unable to do anything.
Lily realized that it was all just their trap. He was so naive that he was easily fooled by people like them. He could only hope, hopefully, that the person who kidnapped him could keep his promise.
For a moment, Dias's face slashed into Lily's mind.
“Ahh, what are you thinking?? Why do you wish that man would help you? Conscious Lily, subconsciously!!” Inner Lily.
