Destiny Will Change's
Zalkas

Hikaru went to take his horse-drawn carriage to a restaurant that was luxurious enough to hand over the groceries and save his mission.

"Thank you for bringing him safely, were there any difficulties on the way?" Ask one of the restaurant's waiters.

"Ah is fine, only a few monsters attacked us" said Hikaru who hid the incident of the ambush due to orders from princess Irisviel

"Alright again thank you, this is the reward please accept" said the waiter while giving money of 3 Tin or in the world of Hikaru the total is 3 million.

The money could suffice the lives of Hikaru, Shiori and Zegel for a few weeks.

Hikaru also walked in the middle of the city of Zalka with the form of buildings and city structures that are not much different from the capital of the kingdom of Zivilia but the city of Zalka is slightly smaller. the merchants were still very crowded by setting up tents on the side of the road.

Buildings such as restaurants and shops are only made of rocks and wood are very sturdy.

With not so good conditions plus Hikaru continued to think about the state of Zegel and Shiori throughout the journey made himself only speechless towards the royal castle in the middle of the city of Zalka.

When Hikaru reached the front gate of the royal castle, the gatekeepers opened the door immediately because they had received orders from princess Irisviel to allow Hikaru to enter.

The enormous gate was opened so that it made Hikaru see the entire shape of the royal castle with a very spacious and beautiful garden in front of him.

After passing through the magnificent garden he walked into the castle and met Zegel who was walking in a hallway full of bandages around his body.

"Zegel!!!" Shouted Hikaru who was in the luxurious long hallway saw Zegel walking from a distance

Zegel looked towards the origin of the voice and realized that the person was Hikaru, and walked over to Hikaru.

"At last you came haha, I was surprised I thought I was dreaming to be in a luxurious place like this. But there was a beautiful servant who explained everything why I was here" said Zegel, with a very satisfied expression on his face.

- This child was really lucky, even though my left rib was also injured but no one realized it. Inner Hikaru who was envious of Zegel while showing a sad expression.

"You all right? looks like your wound is very bad. What exactly happened to you like this?"

"Ah it's okay this is just a self-defense from me" Zegel said with a smile that hid his strength

"Zegel, when I was helping you there I saw someone else lying unconscious with wounds did you know him?"

"Oh yes that person is Tadaro, he is one of the four black-robed people we are fighting against. I was the one who made her unconscious, now where is she?" Zegel replied in surprise as he forgot about Tadaro.

"That's the problem, I also forgot about him so it didn't work to bring him here" said Hikaru who was very disappointed with himself

"It's okay Hikaru this isn't your fault"

"Then where is Shiori now?" Hikaru asked who looked very worried towards Shiori

"Shiori was injured enough that she was unconscious, now she is on the third floor but has been handled well by the doctors in this castle"

"I'll be there first Zegel later we talk again" Hikaru ran away from Zegel and went to the room where Shiori was.

"Not get lost"

Hikaru walked up the stairs towards the third floor to see Shiori's state, he entered the room where Shiori was and saw Shiori was full of wounds, especially in her right hand, a stab deep enough as a result of Reina's weapon.

"If I could have come sooner, you would definitely not have been injured like this Shiori. I'm sorry"

Hikaru was sitting on a chair beside Shiori's bed, Shiori's identity as a cat race was already known to princess Irisviel but the princess allowed Shiori to enter the city for saving her.

Hikaru continued to sit next to Shiori and looked at her with great worry, until Leo finally called Hikaru and made him stand up leaving Shiori to meet with Irisviel's daughter.

"Hikaru, the princess has already called you. Come with me" said Leo who came by opening the door of Shiori's room to pick up Hikaru.

"alright... Shiori I'll be back" Hikaru said as he lowered his head looking at Shiori then turned and left Shiori alone in her room to head towards Irisviel's daughter with Leo.

After descending the two floors Hikaru was on the first floor following Leo walking towards the royal room where there was a princess Irisviel was sitting in a royal chair, there were two royal knights standing on either side.

"Hikaru. Are you okay?" Asked Princess Irisviel who stood up from her seat to approach Hikaru

"Yes I'm fine thanks for worrying princess"

Hikaru's very formal and polite speech made princess Irisviel feel bad.

"No need to speak so formally as that, after all just call me Irisviel when there are only two of us" said princess Irisviel while putting on a sullen expression towards Hikaru

- Gawat.. is too cute, after all, now there are many people who are both. Inner Hikaru

"Alright" Hikaru said, turning his gaze away from princess Irisviel for fear of falling for her.

With blue hair in pigtails to the back makes her cute face very dear not to be seen by Hikaru.

"Alright Hikaru, I called you here to talk about Reina"

Hikaru also explained about Reina and her body that was so strong that it could not be killed easily, Hikaru also told a little about the strength possessed by Reina while fighting with her.

But Hikaru still hid his power about the byakko and also hid about Shiori's Phoenix.

"I understand now so even if his body parts are destroyed he can still grow it back"

"Hikaru can you come with me right now"

"All right"

Hikaru, Leo and princess Irisviel went to the backyard of the royal castle.

Hikaru was surprised by Reina whose two legs and hands were tied by a rope and on top of it was a very large iron beam twice the size of Reina.

"That's just to keep watch, when he's trying to escape. Inevitably we will drop the iron beam, even though he can regrow his body. But with such a huge iron beam hitting his body he definitely could not regenerate and it was likely that it was the way to kill him by destroying his entire body at once" Leo explained to Hikaru who was surprised to see Reina's state
