Beginning & End - June 8
Chapter XXXVI - Rest and True Promise

"Baskoro.. How about Indonesian Cronites? Has everyone been informed of the message that Bhagiah delivered 4 years ago?" ask Gerrald

"if it's about that, I'm still keeping it a secret from PCI, I don't want any panic to arise if it leaks in Cronites Indonesia"

"i also think the same about it the King." said Ellia overruled the answer from Baskoro

"alright, I think you understand the situation better here"

Gerrald who glanced at Akio stole a glance to open the chat, but Gerrald could not say because he was confused about the topic to be discussed.

"hey Kin... Why are you daydreaming all the time?" ellia asked with a slight tilt of her face.

"heemmm..??? why Ell?? Haha I'm sorry I didn't hear your words too much" Akio, who was thinking about retiring while in Cronites, was confused to say it oada Baskoro because of the arrival of King Cronites, which made Akio's heart uneasy to speak.

"heyhooo-chan... You're a very rude Kin" said Ellia blushing her lips.

"emmd.. Anoo... It's a matter of discussion last month, I want to convey to you directly" said Gerrald flat with slightly quivering lips.

"haduuhh, so it feels bad for us Raja if you deliver directly here.so troublesome you, even though via phone can be king"

"no Baskoro, this concerns the life of mankind on earth"

Instantly Baskoro and Ellia became serious about what King Cronites was about to say.

Akio who just lowered his face, and held his frown.. Makes Gerrald a little worried about what this will tell him.

"Achio... Do you remember the Crow Nites who stabbed you in the back when you confronted Bhagiah 4 years ago?" gerrald asked Akio carefully

Akio who had just lowered his face.. Slowly began to raise his face and look at Gerrald.

"of course I remember Gerrald. What's wrong with him?"

"i have word from Renz that he started an alliance with Pires after the battle 4 years ago"

"Renzz yah. if indeed the source who said it from Renz is certainly true" said Akio flat without expression.

Baskoro who could only stay silent because the chatter of the first and second King Cronites was quite gripping with the aura of talk overflowing.

Moreover, the name that came out of the conversation now was Renz.. One of the powerful wandering Cronites almost matches Akio, who is referred to as Rival Akio.

Ellia who was slightly smiling recalled Renz who used to always tease Ellia before Ellia loved Akio.

"did you meet Renz in person when he told you about this, Gerrald...?" ask Akio.

"no.. Renz just sent Phyonis his pet bird as a news carrier"

"it turns out I'm the only one who reneged on the promise we made" murmured Akio who agreed with Renz not to appear in the public until the appointed time.

"alright Akio.. I'm here to tell you about this while visiting you.."

"if I can tell Gerrald...who is the identity of that bastard who betrayed us?" ask Akio who is getting serious with the conversation.

"he is Juron Keros, originally from Sweden. He was the one in the attacking team led by Kim and faced off against the commander I Pires Vrons"

"it is fitting that Sweden will be home to the headquarters of Bhagiah and other Pires... But good thing Gerrald, I'm not hesitant to kill him"

"actually when he stabbed me with his dagger, it wasn't painful.. But it was the poison from his dagger that rendered me paralyzed that prevented me from dodging the Ultimatic attacks of Bhagiah, Asmodeus, and Leviathan back then"

"and so, that's why I couldn't save Kaori and lose her!" akio's words became emotional and accidentally smashed the table in front of him with his right fist that landed on the table hard"

Gerrald, Baskoro, and Ellia just fell silent rigidly at the sight of Akio clearly holding back his emotions by force.

Ellia, who did not want her lover to be sad, immediately hugged Akio from behind and whispered near Akio's ears that Gerrald and Baskoro could not hear.

"Kinn's... I promise I will always live for you" Ellia whispered to Akio

Akio whose body just now shook, slowly returned to normal.

Baskoro and Gerrald who were curious about what Ellia said could only stare. Especially Gerrald who was very surprised to see what Ellia did there Akio.

"what are you guys... are you guys in a relationship????!!" asked Gerrald who spontaneously came out of his mouth.

Akio, who only smiled at Gerrald's question, let Ellia answer the question of the king of Cronites.

"yappsss.and also it looks like Akio will propose to me soon." said Ellia softly with a carefree face

"heehhh???.. HEEEEHHHHHHHH????" Baksoro and Gerrald displayed very surprised expressions from his face. Even Akio was a little surprised, because Ellia who did not think Akio's decision to make the moment after the nightmare happened was not a joke... Makes Akio's heart shine a little.

Well, maybe it's the right time to tell them" Akio murmured in his heart.

"actually we are planning to temporarily retire from Cronites chairman of Baskoro, chairman of Gerrald..."

The words spoken by Akio certainly made Baskoro and Gerrald stunned.

"at.. Why is it so sudden Akio?" ask Baskoro

"isn't the war getting closer to Akio.. Ellie.. If you lose you on the front lines during the battle, it would be a pity.. Moreover, Bhagiah who really wants to face you HARUMA, of course, will be a battle that can be ascertained will be difficult to be accepted by Cronite" said Gerrald who is very expecting their participation both.

"wait a minute, we just want to rest for a month. Besides, I want to marry Ellia in the middle of the month" Akio said with a glance at Ellia

Ellia who only smiled because of Akio's words, hugged Akio even more tightly.

"aaaappaaaa??? You guys want to get married??? Seriusannn????!" gerrald said in a pretty loud tone.

"it's really a couple that's not creepy." said Baskoro while shaking his head.

"ohh yes Ellia... Regarding your elf form, is that your new strength??" asked Baskoro who had been curious when the battle of Ellia with Balqis took place during the selection exercise earlier.

"Wujuudd Pee's..Perii????!!!" gerrald shouted in shock.

"isn't that a very rare form, and isn't that just a legendary myth?!! How can.. You activate Elia's form Ellia??" said Gerrald who could not control his curiosity anymore.

"hemp.. How well.. I also do not know how to get the power of the Elf form, which is clear.at that time I just feel very jealous of Balqis who got more attention than Kintut.."

"Kii..Kintuutt?" gerrald said astonishedly tilting his face.

"ooppsss.I mean Akio king of Gerrald" said Ellia pulled out his tongue with a slight bite.

"hoehh the basis of young people's love" said Baskoro and Gerrald who was immediately depressed to hear it.
