CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Fighting Once Again

“Come save Kuro, Varl.” Ellena was really saddened by the condition of Kuro who was already a stone statue. Whether the black horse's life was still there or not, it was clear that Ellena wanted to fight once again.

The girl's lips trembled while still enduring the silent pain centered on her right shoulder. Crumbed. It could have been nearly broken because it had crashed so far away. While the blood on Ellena's forehead began to dry up, the pain was still felt.

But forget that pain. All Ellena has in mind is one, which is to free Kuro from Charlotte's black magic that turns the horse into a stone statue.

Hixes.

Hixes.

Hixes.

Ellena could only cry while enjoying every pain all over her thin body. Seeing that, Varl clenched his teeth.

Truly, he loathed the queen of this land. Ellena was about to crumble and Kuro became a stone statue. Suffocate.

Both of Varl's hands clasped tightly. The hatred inside the chest was burning with resentment that was starting to heat up.

“Should be solved immediately the source of the problem!” varl's determination is in my heart. He was getting tired of everything that had happened all this time. They had been to Charlotte's palace many times, but there had been no results.

They always lost and now two victims have fallen.

“I'll get my revenge!” Varl. Then, look at Ellena who was moaning in pain. “You're here only. I'll be soon—”

“I'm coming.” Despite a still hoarse voice due to her unfinished sobs, Ellena remained firm, determined to be with Varl.

However, Varl squatted again, aligning his height with Ellena who was sitting with her legs straight forward. Varl stroked the head of that otherworldly girl. “If you come along, you're just a burden!”

Although her demeanor was very gentle like a caring sister, but Varl's words were very piercing, making Ellena protest. “Once in a while I can also be a useful person!”

Ellena tried to convince Varl. However, the curly brunette man poked the tip of Ellena's nose, then shook his head slowly interspersed with his charming smile. As usual, the man was full of charm.

“You're here only. Let a man fight.” Just this time Varl said softly, usually full of meaning.

After saying that, Varl got up and stood up with his strong determination. He doesn't want to lose again. Anyway, it should be resolved soon!

Inevitably, Varl must fight for himself and everyone. “Soon, it'll all be over, Charlotte!” inner Varl continues to pose many threats even though it is not directly to the queen who is now out of place.

“Manu, please take care of Ellena!” varl commands for a moment before he sets out to fight to complete this heavy mission. “I'll make that woman kneel to me!”

“Ngiiik!” answer Manu which means ready. Varl nodded while giving his two thumbs up. Then, he dashed out quickly, piercing through this standing building haughtily.

If anything gets in the way, then Varl's spear immediately plunges quickly into the core of the opponent's body. She did not hesitate even though it was a woman, because the women here were not real women because their strength exceeded the limit.

While running, Varl smelled a silver jewel coiled around his middle finger. He hoped, he got the help of the power of the ancient gem. Yes, the ring was only one in the world made directly by Charlotte with her Blessing power.

“Hm, you see, I can beat you, Charlotte! In fact, a thousand years or a hundred years, I will continue to chase after you and defeat you!” Varl is confident.

He used the Specula to scan for traces of black magic. Really, it usually seems obvious. However, after the magic went berserk and nearly swallowed Charlotte earlier, the traces of magic aura started to be irregular. Varl had to use his instincts.

On the other hand, Ellena was still moaning. But he tried to get up. As much as his energy continued to maintain consciousness. The dizzy head that started to feel heavy made it almost goosebumps a few times.

Seeing that, Manu neighed. Then, he bit Ellena's blue hood. Manu again sat Ellena on the ground.

“No, Manu. I-I have to—”

“Ngik!” Manu continued to neigh and held back Ellena's movement that was trying to get up.

“Manu, please,” pinta Ellena while putting on a clear face. Caring for the devil with this pain. He just wants to fight again. He was already here to complete the mission charged to him.

Ellena must fight.

Yes, he is determined.

He was stunned, trying to hear again. His head was looking for who he was talking to. However, wanting to be rotated anywhere, Ellena found no one.

The place here is so quiet. There was only the sound of the wind gently filling the empty spaces in the Everfalls.

“Manu, did you hear someone talking to me?” ask Ellena. Ah, even if Manu answered, Ellena would not understand what the horse said. He does not understand animal language.

However, Ellena was willing to fight once again.

Despite the small possibility that Manu would answer with a more understandable neigh, Ellena kept asking that question and believed that she would understand.

“I am speaking.”

Manu's lips moved exactly with that voice!

Knowing the facts, making both eyes of Ellena rounded. He even forgot the pain all over his body. For a moment, he stared and tried to accept this astonishing reality.

One sec.

Two seconds.

Even to so many seconds.

Ellena is still gaping about events that are unacceptable to her common sense. It was only after a while that Ellena started to open her mouth with the script.

“K-you can talk?!” Ellena had just uttered that question after a few seconds had passed.

“Ya, but don't tell anyone.” Manu commemorates with sharp eyes.

Ellena could only nod. However, he was grateful because he could communicate with Manu without having to translate the horse's neighing.

Slowly, Manu approached the statue of Kuro. His gaze changed softly. For a few seconds, Manu stared at every inch of Kuro's body. “Before he was invited by you, Kuro once told me that he wanted to fight with you. Despite having to fight several times, he will continue to be loyal to you. Kuro smelled something different from you.”

Manu's head lowered deeply. He paused his sentence.

“How many times struggle, it will keep doing it as long as it is with you, Ellie.” Manu turned to Ellena who was not far a few inches there. “If it fails, Kuro will convince himself that he will once again fight with you. Want as heavy as any obstacle, Kuro is ready to be your best horse.”

Hearing that, Ellena again sobbed. He was as unwilling, even now he was crying, feeling guilty let alone seeing the appearance of Kuro who already did not look like a living horse anymore.

“Basic cengeng.” Manu smiled a little. Then, he walked closer to Ellena. “Already, don't cry. Kuro will be even sad to see him. He told me, your smiles and Charlotte's are precious. One thing that makes his life colorful is seeing your smile. So, don't cry. Let's fight once again, Ellie.”

Manu again bit the hood of Ellena's robe, helping the girl stand up. Even with pain, Ellena will complete this mission despite the weight.

Before stepping further, Ellena rubbed her eyes. He was determined, he would not cry anymore, because crying alone was not a way out. There must be a struggle to feel success.

No giving up, that's Ellena.

The girl sighed so long, releasing all the burdens that had been in her heart all along. Relieved. Come on, fight back!

“I will grant your wish, Kuro! Soon, that smile will come to you!” Ellena smiled from a distance to Kuro who was posing an attack. “Whoahed me!” scream Ellena.

He had come back strong even though the wounds were everywhere. Really, the spirit in the chest is growing. Ellena was ready to fight once again.

“Let's fight once again!”

Ellena rides Manu's back, chasing Varl to catch up with the queen of the land. Ellena is determined, she immediately brings Charlotte back to her citizens.

At full speed, Manu dashed, darting and piercing through the air in Charlotte's grand palace. However, the two are stunned when they suddenly see Varl doing something in a room.

“V-Varl, what are you doing?!” ask Ellena while she glances.
