That night, a polar air blew on the highest floor of King Dielus' Palace. Zecda and Zack sat facing each other. A 4 meter long table mediates the two. Zack was silent, he knew the mind of his interlocutor.
Zecda swung his legs. Then put it on the table. Zecda leaned back, staring at the beautiful sky from his transparent glass roof. It's been five minutes since Zack came. But they haven't said anything. Zack chose to lean his back, then sleep. Letting the night wind that came through the window pierce his face.
"Too empty, right?" Zecda finally spoke.
Zack who had expected Zecda to say it nodded. In his mind, a shadow of the past flashed. A scene where his teenage self, Zecda, Ague, Aden, as well as two other people were sleeping on the long table. They stared at the sky, chatted, occasionally laughed and struggled. Zack closed his eyes with his hands, blocking the moonlight that made his dreams dim. Zack knew Zecda was thinking about it.
"Didn't you want to look for them?" zack's voice came into Zecda's mind remembering the same thing Zack thought. Zecda. He grimaced annoyed.
"They're gone, Zack," Zecda replied in silence.
Zack remained silent. The eye-opening Zecda looked at Zack doubtfully. Either conscious or already immersed in his dreams. Zecda again closed his eyes, allowing himself to drown in a dream.
***
30 Years ago....
Zecda and Ague walked in the crowd. The hot sunlight made the people below him sweat. Especially for Zecda and Ague wearing brown coats, trying not to attract the attention of the citizens of his kingdom given the status they embrace. The two teenagers were silent to each other. Ague several times nudged people who passed by. He apologized easily. People look at him normally. But not with Zecda . The man walked upright, his face covered in the hood he was wearing.
"One day, I will tell the King to make you king" Zecda whispered as his sister led a middle-aged lung whose vision was blurry.
"I'm not interested. The first prince is you" replied Ague. Zecda turned his face.
After guiding a middle-aged lung earlier. They continue their journey. Zecda looked back. Several drones flew out of the windows of Dielus Palace.
Zecda elbowed Ague. He grins. Then snatched Ague's hand and ran through the crowd.
Ague panicked a little, but he kept running. "Sister!" Call Ague.
Zecda did not care, still focused forward and ran on the crowded sidewalk road. His stronger strength than Ague managed to drag Ague.
Zecda takes a right turn while at the crossroad. He dodged a drone that had been floating a meter above his head.
Zecda spread the view of finding the safest place from the pursuit of the drones.
"If you want to escape safely, get on that ranch truck." a voice suddenly appeared in Zecda's mind. He looked towards the highway. A ranch truck runs on the left side, while they are both on the right side. Zecda.
"Damn," he murmured. Three drones flew low towards them.
Zecda clasped Ague's palm tighter. And with all her courage, Zecda crossed not in a zebra cross. He passed in front of two cars and a passing motorbike.
"Kyaaahhhh," the woman on the motorcycle shouted hysterically. He was too focused to scream, so he did not have time to brake and instead slammed the steering wheel. The motor was flying, while the driver fell onto the asphalt road. Several vehicles passing around him stopped. Some people helped him stand up. But Zecda just left the girl with a guilty feeling as big as a watermelon seed.
*Sister!" Ague stopped his steps. He pulled Zecda's hand. Zecda's legs stopped. He stared at Ague flat.
Ague let go of his brother's grasp. He ran towards the girl. Ague lowered his head in front of the brown-haired and purple-eyed girl.
"I'm sorry we. I'm so sorry. What is your name and where can I send compensation for all this?" ague said softly.
Zecda just looked at him. He has no intention of apologizing. Even as the girl looked at him, Zecda threw a face away. He did not realize as the victim was limping while holding his knee that struck the asphalt mercilessly towards him.
"You're not sorry?! No regrets? No intention of redress?" The girl shouted in front of Zecda's face. But the one who was spoken to was still paying attention to the ranch truck that had stopped being stuck at a red light.
"Thank God," murmured Zecda relieved.
"What did you say?!" The girl slapped Zecda. Ague bit his lip, running towards the commotion there.
17 Years old, no one has ever slapped a teenage boy who was being naughty. Even her over-busy mother and father didn't care about any of the commotion she made. "What are you doing, Miss?" inner Ague with wet sweat mixed with sweat because of the hot air under the sun without clouds as a barrier.
"I will compensate ten times. I..," Ague's remark was ignored. The girl let go of Ague's rough hand grip. He turned back, looked up on his tiptoes, then brought his face closer to Zecda who was taller than him.
"I don't need the money. I need your apology" said the girl cynically. Ague ruffled his hair, making the headscarf attached to the jacket he was wearing, also covering half his face falling backward.
"Young Master Ague!" exclaimed a policeman who arrived there after seeing the chaos near the crossroads. The people who realized who it was, knelt down. Ague exclaimed stifled. It's fucked.
"Thank you for all the honor you've given." Ague. The others raised their heads in wonder. What the Fourth Prince loved. "I beg you, stand up."
Everyone look at each other. Then stand. They whispered to each other. What a kind heart the Fourth Prince. Then return to the interests of each. The policeman sidestepped the smashed motor next door. Fortunately, it was a red light, so the work was not too heavy.
After resolving the matter, Ague turned to Zecda. The criminal did not respond at all to the victim's demands.
"You done, Ag?" zecda asked as Ague stopped beside her without turning his head. The rhyme earlier, Zecda only returned the sharp gaze of his victims with a flat face.
Ague was nervous, he nodded doubtfully. "It seems the dron saw me."
Zecda looked at the direction Ague pointed. A dron blames the red light. It was an emergency signal, meaning he had already detected the presence of a fugitive who escaped from the palace on his birthday.
"Come fast! Soon the lights will be green. The truck driver was ready to step on the gas" the voice again whispered in Zecda's head. He turned his head, could see for himself the number board showing the number ten was red. Also the truck he was after had rang with exhaust emitting a thin smoke.
"Let's go!" said Zecda running towards the open truck. Ague gulps. He pursues his role model whom he has never imitated. Zecda jumped, grabbing the end of the truck box. Also Ague.
"Where are you going?!" The victim did not accept. He walked fast even though he dragged his feet. Forgetting his pain, He climbed up the long iron bars that stretched to hold the big box.
Ague jumped into the box first. While Zecda still had time to carve a winning smile when the truck drove on the drone that followed after him. One hand was holding on to the end of the box, while the other was outstretched and pointed at the dron chasing him.
"Puncture of the wind needle." A transparent needle-shaped wind shot out from his finger, followed by a gust of wind around him. The needle shot towards the drone. It made the drone bounce and fall.
"Byeah!" The girl was hit by the wind. His hand grip is off. Zecda spontaneously grabbed his arm. Saved him. Zecda pulled the body of the fluttering girl. The girl jumped up, hugging Zecda with her last energy. His face was pale.
"I thought, the one who dared to challenge me was an S-level warrior. It turns out that only women are cowards..," murmured Zecda.
"I'm not a coward!"
Zecda finally jumped into the box while hugging the girl with one hand. The two entered, and were greeted by many large boxes of small chickens inside which contained several chickens.
"Hello, heir to the throne. Also the Most High Prince!" greet a teenager of his age who was sitting leaning against one of the piles of boxes.
Ague looked at him in disbelief. How could the man survive there with this unpleasant smell.
"I have to, Prince," said the man, leaving Ague's tightly shut mouth wide open.
"You're a spy?" Zecda released the body of his unknown girl. The man peacefully nodded.
"Thank you" whispered the girl right in Zecda's ear before letting go of her embrace.
Zecda didn't ask any more, he sat down. Also Ague and the girl.
"My name, Miya," the girl broke the silence. Ague smile. Only he introduced himself.
"Where is this truck going?" ask Zecda to the rookie spy.
"Towards the Kingdom far enough. It seems, Princess Miya Berlin knows better the way," he replied.
Miya raised her head in disbelief. He closed his mouth and his eyes were wide open.
"You?!" Ague looked at Miya in amazement. In contrast to Zecda who actually turned his eyes no matter
