CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
For the sake of Love

All glare. The screams of Varl and Elise sounded so loud, echoing in the empty air as they crashed together. Varl crashes because he hugs Elise to protect the girl from a sudden Dragon attack. Wuses.

They dove, out of the Charlotte palace area. All glared and just stayed so shocked to see the fast-paced event.

Both of them hit the wind, unable to be stopped. If they fall, then finish their history because the bones will be crushed immediately after landing on the ground.

Ellena glared, she tried to restrain Varl and Elise by controlling the wind, but both of them fell down so fast as to be swallowed by gravity and could not dodge the force. Varl clasped the frightened Elise while plunging down to immediately kiss the ground.

The girl also hugged Varl tightly. Honestly, he was actually very afraid at this moment because in a split second, his life would be floated. However, there is one he is grateful for that is before he was destroyed, he could be close to Varl.

While Varl has resigned, this is his fate. He can't do anything. It feels very impossible. In his mind, he still regretted that he had not yet completed the mission that had been charged to him from all the citizens of Everfalls.

Suddenly, both corners of Varl's eyes were wet. The smile of Ellena, the other friends, and also... Elise.

For a moment, Varl glanced at the girl from the angel race. An innocent woman has been dragged into the same terrible fate. Varl regretted that he had made Elise his slave.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

Then, Varl swiftly threw Elise up. “Please save Elise, Ellie!” he shouted out loudly while casting a shield magic that could defy gravity and make himself float.

Elise's body was covered in a transparent shield of slightly yellowish color. It floated in the middle of the air. The shield magic could only hold one person in a few moments. This was one of the low-level magic that allowed the offender to float in an instant without wings.

While Varl continued to plunge, the faster he got down there.

Wuses.

Wuses.

Wuses.

Varl's body was lost among the clouds, penetrating him to the land. “Save Elise and she will be free!” varl yelled again loudly before he hit the ground. He smiles.

Varl's voice rang out loud before it completely disappeared.

“VARL!” yell everything from up there. Ellena tries to take Elise with the help of the wind.

After Elise reached the surface of Charlotte's palace, she immediately hugged Ellena, crying there to make Ellena's clothes wet.

Then, not long after that the slave mark between Elise's shoulder blades slowly disappeared. That means, Varl has sacrificed his life to give up Elise's bondage magic contract. Of course Elise was breaking her tears. He held the sign softly.

“TUAN VARL!” Elise screamed emotionally until her lips trembled, her eyes popped, and her cheeks were already wet.

He shook Ellena's body. “Please... Please save Mr. Varl, Miss Ellena. Please save him. I. I love Mr. Varl. I will pledge allegiance to him forever. I. I want to continue to be his slave until whenever it is. Please... please save Mr. Varl.”

Elise pleaded with her wet eyes to Ellena who was currently with all her might holding back sobs. Just as he sees Kuro has returned, he sees Varl sacrificing his life to give up his bondage contract.

Ellena pecked for a while. His eyes stared blankly. He was silent, not expecting all this. His knee was squeezed instantly and he finally collapsed with a thought that only reflected Varl.

Although the man is rash and annoying, but Varl has sacrificed a lot and helped Ellena in the completion of this mission. Moreover, Ellena already considered Varl like her own sister. Did Varl end up here?

“Va-Varl..” Ellena called Varl's name. His lips became confused to just mention the name of the man. Ellena lost her life expectancy.

Suddenly, there was the sound of satisfaction laughter echoing in the air. The laughter came from Mae, not actually it was Zendaya who was still Mae. That person was still not dead before destroying the source of his power, the Eternity Crystal that gave him a place.

Hearing Zendaya's laughter, Ellena's hands clenched so tightly. Then, he wiped his almost wet eyes from crying over Varl's death. It will take revenge.

Remembering that, Ellena's chest suddenly rumbled violently. His heart was pounding and his blood rippled with wrath. Ellena's eyes stared intently at Zendaya who was still in the form of Mae with a disgusting laugh.

“MATTHEW YOU... ZENDAYA!” That one sentence made the wind around even more raging.

“Ellena, stop!” Gao, who had realized Ellena's wrath could have made things worse, tried to stop her, because even though Ellena often went on a rampage, but her rampage this time was more devastating than before.

As much as Gao's energy held Ellena's hand. However, Ellena's ice-cold hand made Gao unable to touch her anymore. Even so, Gao did not give up. He fought the cold to hold Ellena back.

Yet...

Plaque!

Ellena brushed off Gao's hand firmly, then slammed the man's body in any direction. Half conscious Ellena did, she simply kept Gao away from her in order not to get hurt.

He just thought that this time was his duty whether he could defeat Zendaya or not. Ellena's hand moved as if inviting the winds to join her wrath.

“Ellie, hentikaannn!” All screamed so. However, Ellena keeps the others blocked by a windstorm.

Refereeing.

Wuses.

The dust flew, making Ellena's friends even Charlotte herself close her eyes so that the dust does not enter.

“Stop acting nasty using Mae's face!” ellena shouted, the wind is getting raging.

Due to the wind, Dragon lost his balance. The wings could not adapt to the sudden change in wind speed. He was getting out of control, flying freely without seeing the risk.

Zendaya also threw her black magic to the Dragon, but because the Dragon flew irregularly, finally the magic that should have landed on one of the Dragon horns, but instead missed the Dragon's head. It made the Dragon lose consciousness because it was covered in high-level black magic.

He was filled with anger, resentment, sadness, and loneliness that became one. His silver eyes turned red. He attacked, but before that, he spat out his fire.

Wuses.

Then, he glanced sharply at Zendaya and Wus...

The dragon attacked Zendaya at full speed interspersed with his bursts of fire that could melt iron.

Yet...

Ellena quickly pulled out Zendaya's hand which was still Mae-shaped. He kept him away from the Dragon's fire. While everything is glaring to see the actions of Ellena who is beyond expectations.

“Ellie, what are you doing? Don't you want to eliminate him?! Just let him die!” Leonie's a little upset.

However, Ellena who had hugged Mae aka Zendaya also grinned. He turned to all his friends who were currently putting on anxious faces. “Whatever he is, all we know is... Mae will never betray us and whoever Mae is, she definitely wants to be helped by us too!”

Ellena raised her right hand, showing her the friendship bracelet she bought on the market that time. He bought it to be put in the hands of all his travel companions, without exception. In fact, Gall alone was currently wearing it.

“We are friends who will save Mae regardless she is the real Mae or not!” Ellena's grin is getting wider. His gaze was sure.

Yet...

“Are you crazy?!” protest Steven.
