AST
56 . OUGHT


Erick bluffs and hits hard on the dashboard in front of him. His jaw stiffened as his concerns about the figure of Frederick Hubert eased out. That man, the man who did not consider him a child, today seemed to have changed drastically. Erick wanted to ask a lot of things, but under these conditions, and with the communication channel already off the hook, could it be that the man was fine?


The young man took a sip of saliva, trying to stay focused on Analemma's control. The battle between the paladins


a plane belonging to Cosmo in front of him makes him more convinced. If only Cosmo really became a milestone of world peace, should not they send iron birds to attack the symbol of peace itself, ‘kan? Is it possible ….


An explosion is created. It seemed like Paladin was unwilling to give up. The clibanarii continued to repel the attack of the iron bird that attacked him brutally. The plane was eyeing weakness in the joints of the Clibanarii. However, the controller of the Paladin was not so foolish as to give himself up just like that.


Erick screeches. Could it be that he had to show up and save the girl now? This isn't a fight


what a rookie rat would do.


A beginner?


Yes, Erick thought it was so considering Adnan loved Adara as much as any condition. It was delicious to be the only one in the young man's mind for a lifetime. Honestly, Erick wants it too. However, I don't know, his relationship with Adnan was only limited to military colleagues. No more than that.


Paladin darted in one direction, followed by Cosmo's plane. They pierce the clouds that chime with


a gray cloud that closes the horizon. Erick widens the view. He lost track of both.


“Where are they?” his murmuring screeched.


The young man was still focusing on the radar on the dashboard screen while going around. In fact, it was presumptuous of him to escape from the battlefield just to pursue a Clibanarii. However, given the word from the father, Erick could not care about the situation down there. Foolishly fooled by the chaotic war situation because the captain has dated.


Suddenly, an explosion was heard in one direction. Erick rushes to get Analemma there,


following everything that might surprise him in a moment.


Yeah, a little more.

“I don't know how a rat like you can be easily manipulated,” a black-haired man told a young man who was being banned by some of his men. He grinned petty. “Do you know now, who is on your side?”


Adnan screeches. Of course, he should not have trusted the man just like that. He should have followed


intuition for a long time and get rid of all that ambition.


The main hangar did not seem so crowded. There were only a few troops that the man had brought from Cosmo. The rest are soldiers from the base who fight, are banned, or. Like a girl approaching them this time.


The red-haired girl stared bitterly at Adnan. There was a flush on his face that Adnan could read with


effortlessly. However, the girl ignored him. He faced the man who had been near the black-haired young man ever since.


“I've checked everything. There is nothing we can get here,” he said.


The man clucked in annoyance until he ruffled his waist. “Where does he keep it?” he murmured, then looked at Adnan. “She definitely didn't tell you the secret. You're easy to guess.”


“We will leave in thirty minutes,” said the girl, then looked at the black-haired young man in front of her. “Are we going to take him too?”


Only the darkness appeared for a moment. “We will take them all, including the girl.”


Netra Adnan intercepts instantly. “What do you mean?”—The guy just looked at him— “What do you mean, Oscar?!”


The man did not deny the brother's bluff. He turned to something else after asking the soldiers to take Adnan onto a transport plane. Meanwhile, Adnan continued to shout for an explanation even though he was not hounded at all.


The soldiers tied the young man's hands and legs together and pushed him away until he was about to get up and had to repeatedly get a raw bogem so he could keep quiet.


“Let go of me!” his screeches.


“Who wants to let you go now, huh?” sahut a soldier.


“Pacify him,” say another.


The soldier was grieving. “Basic little bastard!”

Adnan's blue eyes stared around faintly. I don't know how long he's been unconscious. An hour or a few hours. The blow to his head still hurt and his face was already messed up. Endless pain. There may have been many bruises there due to the blows of the soldiers during his rebellion earlier.


This time, he realized that he was not on the transport plane anymore. He was in a dark room. Really dark. There was nothing he could see there other than the void that felt suffocating.


“You're up?”


A voice caught the attention of the black-haired youth. He looked back and forth looking for the origin of the voice.


“I'm in the room next to you.”


The voice returned. Adnan knew his owner.


“You ...” Adnan whispered a little.


The young man was still trying to move despite the difficulty, looking for a wall or something. However, it is very difficult to make a movement when both hands and feet are perfectly bound. Not with black tape or handcuffs belonging to the police usually. The fastener is like an aluminum or iron bracelet that can block both senses of motion when the owner's movement is more brutal.


“Since when are you here?” asked Adnan in a slightly raucous voice.


There is no lawfulness.


“Agara?”


Silent. Adnan again struggled with his exaggerated thoughts. Is the girl okay now?


How did he get caught? Did Oscar catch him too? But with whom? That is, who has caught Adar ajika Oscar alone with him earlier?


“Ad—” Their voices come out in unison, then go back silent.


“You first,” said Adnan.


Quiet again. However, there was a loud noise. Maybe the girl is changing her position a little.


“What happened?” he asked with a soft voice that Adnan could still hear.


The young man thought for a moment. He fixed his position and clearly leaned against the nearby wall. “Rebellion,” answers.


“Who revolted who?” reset Adara.


“Entah.” Adnan sniffed his shoulders despite not being seen at all. “I don't know who's wrong here,” he said later.


“Then?”


“I followed all the rules and ended up here,” reply the young man. “I should have been confident from the beginning and believed that my intuition was more informed and true than anything.”


Adara was heard exhaling, or rather the girl snorted violently now. “Am I too inocene to know nothing?” He's monologuing. “I've been trying to be a good boy to anyone all this time. Is it still lacking?”


Adnan gulps down the saliva. “You think, what for these 4 years I've been leaving you?” his reply. “I want to tell you everything I know, but ..”


“But?”


“Something blocks me and takes away my trust,” replied the blue-eyed young man.


Both are silent again. Sipping the silence of the atmosphere. Adnan thinks it's possible he could be free from here now. But what about Adara? Is that girl okay?


“Agara?” call later.


The girl chimed.


“You can move?” ask Adnan.


Adara fell silent. “If I could move, maybe not as freely as usual,” he replied bitterly.


“Means?” Adnan stuck his ear to the wall. “Adara, answer me. What did they do to you?”


The girl is still silent. Making the young man who was in the next room suddenly overwhelmed with childish worries. A voice coming from the girl came back. It was more like the girl was sucking snot out of her nose all of a sudden.


“You okay?” ask Adnan again.


There's no answer.
