Almekia Kingdom
06

“Begini Diamond, Opal and I stumbled across a forbidden file in the palace's gear lab. File on the ranking of the greatest gear-gear of the Almekia Kingdom in the last 50 years."

"As we already know Uncle Morgan's Xenogears certainly top the rankings. And our private Mythical Beast gear is also in the lower order" Amethys paused for a moment to take a pause.

"But there is an awkwardness, besides Xenogears there is still one more gear that is as level as it is. Aligned abilities. So in other words there are two of the greatest gears in our kingdom actually. A few years ago."

"The gear is called Brigandine. Gear is red as embers. But somehow the gear is like lost in the earth, even the data about it also does not exist at all. Seems like it was accidentally deleted or eliminated by certain parties.” Amy continued her explanation with a huffed and agitated tone of voice.

I fell silent to hear his explanation, becoming more and more interested and curious about this great gear.  I don't want to interrupt Amy's conversation. Even want to quickly listen to the continuation of this secret story. Secret.

“Ehm, do you know how great Xenogears gear is? The gear cannot be controlled by just anyone, unless that person is able to control the gear belonging to someone else who does not belong to him even with oral commands. Just like Uncle Morgan did on your gear back then.” Amy wanted to give a little picture as great as what qualifications pilots to be able to control the gear class Xenogears.

“Yes I know. I, Zircon and Opal have been made KOs by Xenogears even before 10 minutes we controlled them. The power of the gear was terrible.” Added quickly.

Obviously I know very well how the gears of the gear are, I have tried many times to conquer the gear. Yes, that gear will accept me as the pilot. But it always fails miserably, rejected.

"Then how?" I continued to ask, wanting to know the continuation of Amy's story that increasingly sounds interesting.

“Absolutely. Gear class Xenogears and Brigandine is very selective in choosing the pilot. And the most surprising of all the notes was, the forbidden file mentioned that someone named Jasper as the pilot Brigandine..”.

“What? Jez?... Impossible!” I can't help myself not interrupting Amy's words this time. 

“Jez has only known gear less than two months, even controlling private gear alone he has never,” my protest.

I know exactly how Jasper is doing right now. Because I practice gear every day with him. And it could be said that his ability to control the gear was still very ordinary. There's no way that Jasper I know is the same Jasper as the one mentioned in the file. Imposibles.

“It is here that a great mystery is finally answered and solved. What Jasper means here is certainly not Prince Jasper Sterne Durchlaucth, but the other Jasper."

"Don't you think that he could be the late King of Almecia Kingdom, the father of Jez?” Amy again threw the puzzle with both eyes glowing expectantly.

“So?” I asked as I gaped in disbelief at my own hearing. It was still difficult to understand what news I had just heard.

"Jasper Soltnse Durchlauch," Amy mentions a name dramatically. A name that shakes the heart of anyone who hears it. The name of a king. If the name Jez means a star, then the middle name of the late king is the sun. Very grand names and suitable for the king's tutelage.

“So? So the name of the late King was Jasper too?...And even further he is a high-level gear master like Uncle Morgan?..."

"It's crazy! How could no one know about this?” I again expressed my disbelief in this amazing story.

“I don't think nobody knows. But those in the know have been sworn not to tell stories or say anything about him. A very strong vow, perhaps with a little magic so that it will not be able to be broken. I don't know for what reason this oath should be made..." Amy explained.

"I think our parents were also sworn in. After all, our parents were companions of His Majesty and Queen in the power struggle back in the Almekia Kingdom 20 years ago.” This time Amy's face looks back gloomy.

“Why? Why should this be done?” It's still very difficult for me to believe all the words of Amethys just now. 

“Entahlah, we also do not know the exact reason. But from the results of further investigation, we know that this agreement was made shortly before the birth of Jasper. Besides my mother who doesn't know much about the late King..."

Amy stopped her story from seeing me who was already frowning in astonishment.

"Well my mother wasn't a military man so she didn't participate in a direct power struggle. Even during the war he was evacuated on a remote island that was safe by his father. I live peacefully there with me and Opal.” Amethys explained a little about his mother. Then he paused for a bit before continuing his story back to the main topic.

“I mean is, it turns out that there are others who know a lot about past events but have not been sworn... You remember Uncle Obsidian? According to her mother she left the palace 19 years ago. He was not sworn at that time. But you remind him it's kinda.”.

“Where might I remember? Was I still a toddler?" I answered quickly.

"But with this means there is still a speck of hope. We should be able to contact that Uncle Obsidian and tell him to come here.” Welcome excited. As if I had a piece of hope.

“Unfortunately we can't do that. Right now Uncle Obsidian was already unable to set foot in the Almekia Kingdom anymore. The queen has expelled him and does not recognize him as a citizen of this kingdom..." Amy once again let out a disappointed breath.

"Uncle Obsidian was very rude, rebellious and would not obey orders and regulations. He only wanted to obey His Majesty's orders, but after His Majesty died no one else could control him.” Amy's back moody.

“If Uncle Obsidian can't come here then we'll go look for him, wherever he is. Anyone even Her Majesty the Queen will not be able to hinder us”.  I said steady trying to convince Amethys. 

The girl replied with a sweet smile. For me that smile was more than enough for the spirit enhancer and the belief that we were able to uncover all the great mysteries about this kingdom.

The mystery of the king's death and anything related and related should be kept hidden for two decades.

“It's night, let's go home.” I put some money on my desk and I asked Amy to leave the cafe. Amy followed my steps and walked with me to the car park.

On the way to the palace complex we did not say much, too busy with each other's thoughts. Busy thinking about the possibilities and assumptions of events twenty years ago.

After arriving at the palace complex, I parked my car in the garage. Amethys arrived at the door of his pavilion. 

“It was yes, good night,” told me before we parted ways. Ended our date.

“Diamonds...Um, thank you...Tonight was so much fun.” His words quickly turned around and entered his pavilion.

I was astonished to see her behavior that I thought was so sweet and adorable. Moreover, I had seen a red hue on her beautiful face. Well it looks like tonight I'm going to have a good dream.

With a light step of excitement I returned to the elevator and returned home to my own Pavilion on the 4th floor.
