CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
New Friends

All eyes were on Gao, who was grieved to be expelled by Charlotte. Seeing that, Ellena chuckled in satisfaction. How not, the man who also looked arrogant was already troublesome himself.

“Hahaha, how does it feel to be expelled, huh?” Ellena was starting to feel happy. Actually he did not intend to mock, even he was happy because his friend increased by one more, he felt that the journey would be more exciting and fun.

Not only Ellena who was happy about the presence of one friend who even though he looked arrogant and stupid. Leonie, Hanae, Mae, Yuya, and others were also happy, but of course they laughed at the misfortune of Gao who had been reluctant to join in from the beginning, even getting acquainted with him.

On the other hand, Steven sighed. Both hands crossed in front of his chest. The look on his face was irritated, even looking a few wrinkles on his forehead. Then, the man walked out of nowhere, breaking away.

Honestly, Steven doesn't like this plot. He was already happy with Ellena and the friends he found in the forest, nothing to do with the palace. However, Gall and Gao's presence seems to hinder their mission. Yes, Steven and Gao are two different camps now even though they are like brothers.

Steven pulled over on the lip of the hill. His gaze glared despite the current net capture the city that was far down there. It looks peaceful, but it's also chaotic. The basin that had turned into a flower garden also looked beautiful.

Again, Steven breathed heavily. Since the last few days he just kept quiet and saw the spirit of friends. He did not take on any more roles. There were many things that he could not share at this crucial moment.

“They're too excited,” Steven.

From a distance, Ellena looked at Steven's back which was currently staring deep at the city. Honestly, Ellena was curious. However, he felt that Steven only needed time.

Listen, Steven and Gao often quarrel, in fact they never get along in the least.

Seeing the lack of it, made Ellena have a new determination.

“Before I return to my own world, I want them to get along!” ellena's determination inside. He stamped firmly on that mind.

Anxiety is also being experienced by Varl. His face showed no pleasure at all. His heart kept complaining. “Ah, the more people the more obstacles. I was almost there. He was in front of me and stupidly I was stunned by him? Damnit damnit! I'm such a fool! How could I be stunned by that woman who was my target?!”

The right hand that was in the pocket of his coat grasped firmly. Varl's teeth are also tightening. Jaw hardens. Varl's mind is starting to go awry, all plans are now gone.

The clamor that Ellena's team is causing Varl to be unable to plan anything to complete his mission. He looks agitated. Leonie who noticed it immediately embraced Varl.

“How are you doing, Varl?” he stroked Varl's head and grabbed him firmly as usual. Varl had trouble breathing because of it.

“Woi, wear feeling dong!” varl Protest. Several times he coughed. However, Leonie would not just let go.

Wuses.

The wind gushed gently, greeting the adventurers who were actually lamenting failure. Yes, even though they were laughing and looking happy, actually deep down, they felt defeated.

Long-lasting sadness lingered in there. Seeing Charlotte getting stronger and instead making a new fort makes a deep sadness for them. Especially Ellena. At the moment although he has many friends who want to help, Charlotte is even more distant and difficult to reach.

Ellena's face was sad, Hanae and Mae began to cheer up. They pulled Ellena's hands together, drawing her out of her grief.

“Let's find food! I think you're hungry, Ellie.” Mae's smile expands.

“Hm yes. We're gonna make a lot of food tonight! We welcome our new family!” Hanae was also no less excited, followed by Momo who crept and lay around Hanae's neck.

Hearing the word ‘family’ left Ellena stunned. He paused for a moment, making his two friends also come to a halt.

Without the slightest rejection, the two nodded. “Yes, we are all family. We'll bring our queen back soon!” Mae promises.

The sentence made Ellena smile, her eyes almost wet. He did not expect to have a family that is similar to this with their own attitude and behavior. Because, since long ago he only lived with his father. While studying abroad, Ellena only has Miko.

He often felt left behind and left behind. No one really embraces it to be together walking under any circumstances.

“Thank you.” Unknowingly, the clear grain decays. Ellena's face turned red because her white skin was very sensitive.

Everyone was stunned to see such an Ellena. On the other hand, Ruby who had been hovering and not treading the ground smiled. Her heart was relieved to see Ellena like that.

Honestly, he already knew how Ellena was. So, getting a happiness is a miracle. Ruby who called Ellena from her world felt grateful to see the smile of relief from Ellena.

“Finally you got a priceless friend and happiness, Ellie,” Inner Ruby felt grateful.

Shortly after, Hanae and Mae again withdraw Ellena's hand, bringing the girl from another world in search of groceries. Everyone goes in different directions to prepare dinner. Only Gao and Gall were left to guard the place.

Silent.

Crick.

Crick.

Crick.

Only the sound of crickets accompanied the two. The two of them were sitting side by side on a large rock near a tree.

Still quiet.

Even in his silence, the sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

“Why were you here before?” gao asked breaking the silence. Although he asked Gall who was sitting next to him, Gao's head did not turn to the man whose body was double that of his.

“Haish, you dumped me!” Gall's eyes rolling. Gumptuous. Both hands crossed. “How does it feel to be dumped, huh? I can't even believe that the Queen will also throw you away.”

Gall laughed loudly, even his voice reaching some friends who were not far from them. He's crazy, but that's Gall. Those who heard it did not care about the orc's madness.

While Gao looked down. His heart was like being wrung to hear the expression Gall. Yeah, turns out this sick guy was dumped by Charlotte. In fact, he never thought that he would come out of the palace with contempt.

“Queen does not need us anymore or he does not want us to be there again?” lirih Gall's. Honestly, he was very sad to hear the sentence that weighed on his mind. The last words spoken by Charlotte before throwing them in the middle of nowhere.

Gall sighed.

“We must leave here immediately and return to the Queen!”
