"Mr Aron, where are we staying tonight?" asked Mr. Tristan, walking in the footsteps of Aron, who guided their way.
More precisely, Mr. Aron guided the path of Mr. Carlos, Duke Carlin, and Mr. Tristan.
While Erika and David were going on patrol in the forest to just ascertain if there was anything dangerous around the northern Kingdom.
"Of course we're going to the northern kingdom, aren't we? I've asked some servants to prepare your rooms. Even the King's majesty also allows you to stay." Mr. Aron turned his head towards the three people walking behind him with their horses. "You guys who came from far away to help us save the village, must be treated well, right?"
Duke Carlin lowered his head and thanked the 7th Prince of the northern Kingdom. "Thank you because you've cheapest hearts on us, Prince. Although our arrival was very sudden, our cows still received a decent welcome from your Kingdom. Really thank you," he said, keeping his manners.
Mr. Tristan and Mr. Carlos also said similar things. Thanking Prince Aron for preparing a place to stay for them.
"Then what about you two? You guys gonna stay in the palace too?" asked Prince Aron, turned to the right and saw two people who had been there since when.
David shook his head slowly. "'If you are pleased, can you prepare one house around the border? I just made a barrier around the border fortress of the northern and eastern Kingdom. I hope you can provide a simple house for us to live in" he said, explaining.
"You don't want to stay with us there? Knowing you live outside, I'm not guaranteeing any maids can come with you. Especially in the border area. Fearfully, many rebels came and injured our servants." Prince Aron was a little embarrassed for refusing the request.
But when Prince Aron saw Erika's ugly facial expression, he instantly kept silent and looked at David with a wry look.
"I'll work on it. I will speak first to His Majesty the King about this matter. You can come with us first to the palace and rest there while the servants prepare the house" explained Prince Aron, afterwards.
David nodded in understanding and looked at his little sister who was constantly looking for something quite suspicious for him.
"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Carlos, walked up to Erika and looked around them.
"I smell bad from around here. Like the smell of a monster living in a swamp." Erika turned her head towards Prince Aron with certainty. "Is there a lake or a swamp around here?" tanyakanya.
"Marshes? It seems like there are swamps around here. If you go west in that part of the forest, you'll meet him immediately. Don't tell me you want to go into that forest, Miss Erika. There is also dangerous because it is guarded by snake stealth that is good at concocting poison," said Prince Aron, not just warning but like it has forbidden Erika to go there.
"really?" asked Erika, unfortunately went there and followed Mr. Carlos anyway.
"Carlos, are you going with Miss Erika?" duke Carlin asked, making his youngest son turn his head for a moment towards him and nod briefly.
"I'll be fine, Dad. You don't have to worry about me."
After saying that, Mister Aron and Erika went up on the horse and went in the direction that Prince Aron pointed out.
Prince Aron let out a long, rough sigh, then turned his gaze to Mr. David.
"Is Miss Erika's character like that? Free souls are fearless. His life is only one. But he's very brave, huh?" chirped Prince Aron, not intending to mock at all.
Prince Aron, Duke Carlin and Mr Tristan, widened their heads with their mouths half-opened in shock at the fact.
"Then? What happened to Miss Erika after that? You managed to save her??" mr. Tristan asked, looking curious and excited by their discussion.
David nodded slowly. "Of course not. I am not that strong to be able to fight the Demon Prince. It was Erika who was sent home by the demon prince directly and delivered to the house."
David laughed again. But now his laughter sounded bland and seemed to mock himself.
"A girl as small as that could make the 7th Prince of the underworld troubled due to her behavior asking for this and that as a requirement of marriage. Hahaha, even I feel so stupid for already thinking Erika will never come back." David turned his head towards the three men who were still surprised by the sour look. "I forgot about Erika who is one of the strongest magicians of the state level."
After hearing the explanation, no more words were said from the three men who followed in David's footsteps.
Everyone was silent with raging feelings and shame. Yes, ashamed of themselves who had prided themselves on being able to achieve the title of nobility in old age while in other places there was a girl who was 10 years old, but was able to defeat the Prince of darkness.
"I was expecting it. The aura that Miss Erika has is not supposed to be our trivial," murmured Prince Aron, still showing his sour expression.

"Where are we going, Miss Erika?" asked Mr. Carlos, who was confused to choose a path because they encountered an intersection.
Erika closed her eyes and looked for an existence that was more concentrated from those two directions.
"We go to the right, Mr Carlos!" erika said, pointing in the direction that she felt had the existence of darkness so dense.
"Hey little girl. Don't go there! There was my father guiding the soldiers of darkness. You'd better just go home and let them riot themselves and clean it up yourself!" chirp a man, who was relaxing on one of the branches of a tree that was quite strong, on the left side where they stopped.
Erika who knows enough of the man's voice, spontaneously dams and sees the 7th Prince of the underworld who was once troubled by his actions.
"Your Majesty? Since when can you roam around like that by the king??" asked Erika, half scorn.
The red-blossomed man jumped down and looked at Erika's beautiful-looking face, but after having a very dense darkness within him.
"I didn't expect you to be dead and still be able to survive in this realm. Erika, shouldn't you come with me to the underworld?" the man asked in red, approaching Erika's horse and gently holding Erika's right hand.
Erika smiled sweetly at him. "I hope you can wait for me. Because I'll be with you soon. I'll make sure it really happens."
The red-blossomed man nodded in understanding and kissed the back of Erika's hand before disappearing like mist.
"good. I'll pick you up after your business in this world is over, my bride-to-be!"
