In Camp Claude, Krud did not stop talking about how cool Claude was in his eyes.


“How can you just throw your dagger it directly severed his neck? his blood is out everywhere!” Krud continued to babble until he felt Claude's head was about to break.


“Can you be a little quiet like before?” Claude tells Krud to be quiet because he is too noisy for the size of a ruthless and cold Algerian nobleman.


“Alright, I was just wondering what kind of dagger you used to attack him with one strike?” Krud asked directly at the core of his curiosity.


“Any weapon, I specially made it from a small fragment of this pendant of my mother's. I did not expect even if it was just a fragment of dust but it can still be used to ward off magic of that size.” Claude looked at his dagger, as he rubbed it to check how sharp his dagger was.


“I didn't expect you to know the secret of the locket so quickly.” Krud sat down and folded his hands.


“That means back then you tricked me into giving you a lot of magic isn't it?”


“No! That's why I'm not lying. Your demon soul is now being sealed inside that locket, so your power and where your magic comes into that locket.”


“So that, I thought you lied to me then. I was so mad at you I'm sorry.”


 “It's okay. That's because I didn't tell you earlier. Yeah.who would believe if at that time you were just a snot boy who ran away from his house.” Krud said while playing coffee at the small table like before he played coffee like a glass of Wine.


“You're right, but instead I want to ask you one thing.”


“What kind of magic should I have if there is no curse?”


“hmm.., maybe like your mother. Your mother is a great witch in charge of disciplining witches who perform forbidden spells or treaties with demons. So the magic is to seal, remove, and absorb the magic mana of a witch. Likely it is like that, after I see your pendant and every time you act unconsciously.” Krud said it more calmly than before, while sipping a little coffee served especially for him. “The coffee is tasty like never before which there is poison.” Krud said it casually, but it left Claude dumbfounded to hear it.


 “Poisons?” Claude shouted at Krud because he could not believe whether he had been drinking poison coffee. Because the coffee was previously made by the same woman.


“Yes, that's why every time I visit. I always throw away your coffee, thank you because every coffee that is served I always throw away before you drink it.” Krud was arrogant because he had secretly


saving Claude's life.


“Hahaha, thank you I didn't even realize you did that for me.” Claude was not aware that during his time at Camp he never drank the coffee served by the woman. “Krud by the way isn't Prince Alger's name Themir not Themis?” Claude tells Krud that he is not very suitable to be a con man like that.


“Ahahaha, R and S are too close I mispronounced them a little. At most I will manipulate them is done already his business.” Krud took a sip of his coffee and stood ready to leave. “Claude looks like the official death certificate for the eight people has been dropped. I have to hurry Back to pick it up.” Krud hurriedly went to retrieve the official death certificate of the eight traitors who were still left, actually because the Lady one was dead, then the task was only seven more.


“Well big sister's crybaby will be back soon.” Krud smiled as he rubbed Claude's head that was slightly shorter in height than his.


Krud came out of Claude's Camp, he asked one of the soldiers there to prepare a horse for him. After that Krud actually left Claude on a horse prepared by one of the men who was on guard that night.


As Claude usually monitored all, the stockpile of deeds and medicine came down to the weaponry of the royal army. Various problems keep coming. Suddenly the water in the well dried up, even the water in the river


it also dries.


While at that time Claude was busy making war strategies by gathering information he got. “So advisor how is this? The soldiers were struck by a thirst disaster. Actually singed


I also dried up.”  Eden reported the disaster of thirst that was sweeping his troops.


“Is there a sea near here?” Claude asked Eden about the sea.


“Do you not know that sea water is not drinkable, we will be more thirsty if we have to drink sea water!.” Eden complained about Claude's words which he considered a joke.


“not that usually near the sea there is a fruit that contains water, called coconut.”


“Why?”


It turns out to be true, according to the book that I read the people of the Greenbrezz and Tarten kingdoms have not been too familiar with coconuts. I myself have never seen it, but the sketch of the book is very clear what form the fruit contains fresh water. In the thought of Claude who was recalling a fruit that he had read in a previous book.


All right, you tell me where the beach is near here?


Eden also shows the location of the beach near the military camp, while Claude only brought four troops who are special forces who are tasked to protect members of the royal family when


warring. For at this time no court sent its son to war, so full power at this time was held by Claude.


Claude went to the northeast of the royal army camp in search of a coconut he had seen in a book he had read. The fruit contains a lot of water that may be drinkable for thirsty soldiers.


After walking for about a few kilometers from the military camp. There was a rumbling sound of waves and an enormous wind. Claude immediately approached the rumbling sound. It turns out that the sound of the waves is so soothing. The sun is very stinging to the skin. The white sand was so soft, a fresh breeze that it hit gently. It's like a paradise. For the first time for Claude who has long lived inside the border forest of the kingdom of Tarten and Green breez it. Not a single one had he ever seen such a beautiful and mesmerizing sight like this. Claude's current mind became clear again after he felt a sense of peace on this beautiful beach.
