In front of the palace door on an island or located in the forest guarded by two soldiers who were pointing guns at a pair of young men who were none other than Samuel and Sofia, they came only to report to the master of Nicolaus but on the way they were confronted by soldiers standing guard at the gate
Quickly and carefully they began to analyze the two couples, who were divided one front and one behind to ensure they were not against or intend to rebel, puzzled Samuel said to the two soldiers sternly, "What is the meaning of all this?, do you want to fight against the superiors!!" samuel with his hands still over his head
"Pardon us sir, we don't know" the soldier replied as he lowered his weapon
"Then you're the new army here?" samuel asked, lowering his hand
"Yes, sir" Reply to the soldier who was again standing guard at the entrance while opening the door for Samuel and Sofia to enter the kingdom but before entering once again they opened the body to apologize to his superiors
"You pardon me, this is not your fault, so it doesn't matter to me" Samuel said as he walked into the kingdom, followed by Sofia from behind
The kingdom occupied by Nicolaus is an ancient relic from an era that does not know since when but certainly the kingdom has been established since several centuries ago, that's because the buildings and pillars have been grown by vines, there are even some sides of the palace that have been cracked or destroyed due to age
Why Nikolaus chose the place as the headquarters because the place is often said to be haunted because according to human beliefs, ancient relics will usually leave havoc for people who visit without any blood relation from the owner or founder of the ancient building
As a result, many residents are afraid to visit the Island which in the end the Island is used as a place or marker of the border between the countries of Mars and Jupiter, in the end, standing without any visitors made Nikolaus interested in making the place as a hiding place for black roses now
In the palace Samuel was speechless, because he was gathering mentally to face the big boss later, although he did not know he would come home alive or dead, sofia had asked him, "Sam, Sam, Are you still afraid to face them?!" sofia asked with a little empathy
"I will not be afraid of such things" Samuel replied without any expression
"Sam" Sofia's voice filled with doubts about the words coming out of Samuel's mouth
"You don't have to be afraid because I will accompany you there" Sofia continued
"What!!, you better not try with your words earlier you should know that Mr. Nikolaus is a cold mafia who likes to kill indiscriminately" Samuel panicked when he heard Sofia's words
"No, I'm not lying to you"
"You heard Sofia, if you enter the throne you will probably die with me but if you stay here you will survive without any injuries" Samuel assured
"Why?, I'm not afraid" Sofia's flat voice made her look like she wasn't afraid
"Damn, you heard me" Samuel stopped his footsteps and held onto Sofia's cheek as he said in a soft tone so as not to be heard into someone else's ears
"Sofia, you see, I'm worried about you if you come with me therefore you'd better not come with me"
"No, that's my decision" Sofia's flat voice irritated Samuel
"Why are you so cute with me?" ketus Samuel was tired of arguing with Sofia
"Because I like you"
"Huh!!" samuel was confused by the words that came out of Sofia's mouth
"Yes, I really like you" Sofia replied expressionlessly
"Why do you like me, there's nothing special about me"
"You think it's like that, but I really like you and I don't know why"
"I don't understand women's ways of thinking" Samuel replied, throwing his face away
"Then you permit me to come with you?"
Taking off the palm that was on Sofia's cheek and saying timidly, "Where might I permit you to come with me if you've said so"
"Plisss, let me come with you, at least let our love be like the story of Romeo and Juliet" Sofia said, pleading
"Huh,. Why are you stubborn anyway" let Samuel breathe while continuing his journey to rush to the throne room with Sofia followed from behind
After entering the throne room saw 2 young men in suits who were at the altar of the throne, among others Nikolaus who sat in a chair and one other young man named Joko who stood beside Nikolaus, they were accompanied by armed soldiers who were then under the altar in neat rows
The arrival of Samuel made Joko and Nicolaus surprised, because as they remembered Samuel was currently on the battlefield with gatot and his soldiers
With capital courage Samuel walked slowly to approach the great leader and knelt before them with Sofia on the right
Afraid that Samuel would open his mouth to speak to his superior, saying, "Master Nikolaus, I want to give you a report" Samuel's voice with trembling body made him sweat coldly wet the area of his face
"What report is that?!" ask Nikolaus flatly
"The troops sent for the invasion of the island of Mars along with the lord gatot and 2 of his followers have been killed, due to the counterattack of the Ice man"
"What!!, he!!!,.. Don't tell me Gatot the pillar of the organization is dead, don't joke you Rian" The big boss's emotions made the palace thunder
And For the first time the big boss goes into a phase of rage, usually Nikolaus is just plain angry but somehow after hearing the death of his partner he let out his entire rage an aura begins to radiate from his body, a, even Joko who was beside him took a few steps back
The sound of teeth grinding and eyes intimidation made Samuel unable to say, "friend, calm yourself, this way we can not find a way out" joko's voice tried to calm the big boss
After hearing the words Nicolaus tried to calm down so that all could be solved with a cold head, until soon the terrible pressure passed making the breath joko and Samuel back to normal, and the breath was still, while Sofia could only watch from a distance along with some other soldiers
The incident occurred when Nicolaus exerted a tremendous pressure, because his strength was too great to make Sofia bounce back along with the soldiers who marched, but not with Samuel because he has the ability of gravity that makes him not bounce
Joko began to tidy up his suit and again asked Samuel who was still kneeling without moving, "I want to ask you Rian, who was the Ice man you called earlier?" ask Joko full of questions
"Don't know sir, because of the location conditions at that time of night I don't know who he is" replied samuel
"You think I believe in your words, even if it's night or he has strong powers, there's no way he can defeat Gatot so easily"
"No sir, I saw the Lord Gatoth fighting with the man and I saw with my own eyes that he was defeated by him alone" he replied
"Catch her!!!" joko orders to the soldiers who are still breathing at the entrance, it does not take long samuel has been rounded up and pointed at with no resistance because he knows that if he fights then the situation will be more murky
"What does all this mean, Mr Joko?!" samuel confused by raising his hand
"You think I'm a fool, you said you didn't know the Ice man from the beginning but why did you say you saw him with your own eyes, even if the opponent is alone why do you not help instead of you bring your team to the location and where 2 assistants" said Joko until finally samuel was silent
"Therefore it can be concluded that Gotot died, because he fought alone while you are our traitor" continued Joko
"But, sir, I was right" before his words were finished, Samuel was strangled by Nicolaus to the point of being speechless
Sofia who saw immediately walking to help but he again bounced because for the second time Nicolaus let out his aura until the people around him bounced including the army that captured Samuel
"Arghhhhhhhhh,.." Samuel who was suffocating tried to fight but his strength lost far to Nicolaus, until he only thought that he was waiting for death
Sofia stands back with the rest of her strength and tries to save Samuel even though he is not the type of attacker but he will keep trying so that he can save Samuel because that is his promise
"Friends, you better not kill him too early" Joko said as she walked slowly towards Nikolaus
"Why?"
"Because we don't know who the friends of this rebel are yet" joko replied
"You've been acting too long, not that we know the person" Nikolaus growled, scaring joko a little
"Then, what will we do to those who have half or wholehearted intentions?!" ask niko
"Of course we reward those who have been rebellious against us, as half-hearted people will we punish so that they know the consequences of going against us, and for people who have the intention of wholeheartedly we should immediately execute, so that others know if they dare to fight us will get the consequences"
"Are you sure the plan will work?"
"Of course, but before that you let go of your strangulation because rian can die if it is too long in the position of the tesebut" joko panicked because he saw the face of the rian was reddened
"Well" Nicolaus began to loosen his grip so Samuel could breathe normally
With a cough Samuel began to stabilize his breath while looking around to make sure things were right
"Then I will obey you" the big boss went back to the throne with an angry look
"Then you all take these two teenagers and put them in custody!!" joko's orders to his soldiers
"Well, sir" the voice of the soldiers with the look of a face in pain as they had already twice slammed the floor
Samuel and Sofia were unable to fight back, but were eventually only able to surrender by following the army's will to be taken to a holding cell
But strangely Joko did not put on a happy or sad expression as if all that he already knew, "Finally until the final stage, my son is waiting for your arrival" joko inner with a strange smile
Under the ground there is a long hallway that only uses a torch as a light of the prison cell not only that there are also many prisoners captured by Nikolaus in the near future, including children, including children, teenagers and even parents even though they were arrested and locked up in there for years
Samuel and Sofia who saw these people began to remember the torture that black roses did to him, even Sofia had experienced severe trauma with the place, and even so, Samuel knows what Sofia is feeling but can't do anything about it, because he knows if he can get away with it but his plan to beat the black roses is getting harder
Before long, Samuel and Sofia were put into an empty cell, locked and left alone, Samuel could not do anything anymore because seeing his hands in handcuffs and sofia was already scared to make him feel desperate, a sense of regret always haunts him
Because it had allowed sofia to get involved too far to make him have to remember the trauma back, according to Samuel it was already a lifelong regret, "Sofia, you have to calm down I promise to free you from here" Samuel said as he dragged the tailbone towards Sofia
But there was no response from sofia even her body was still trembling in fear, her legs were bent with locked hands as if she was already completely frightened
Samuel began to calm sofia by putting his handcuffed hand over her head and a little hand in motion that way he hoped that Sofia could calm down a little
"Sofia, I'm sorry for bringing you here" muttered Samuel with a sad look
Meanwhile, on the other side, Rian finally realized from his break with sonia who was sitting next to him curiously, Rian said, "Sonia, where is Ari?, is she okay" rian asked with a body lying on the bed
"You take it easy, Rian, he's fine just now still being treated in the next room"
"Thank God, then can you take me there?" ask rian
"But your condition is still not stable, do not first"
"It's okay, now I'm better so it doesn't matter if the room is close by"
"But"
"It's sonia, I'm better so please take me" said rian pleading
Sonia who saw the gaze rian, now can only obey and deliver her to the room ari using a wheelchair that has been prepared by the hospital for patients, on the way to the room rian likes to be completely satisfied with the words of Sofia just now, because at first he said only sideways but unexpectedly it turned out to have to go down the level using liv
"Sofia, you said you were only blocked by the room but why is it now blocked by the floor?!" rian was sitting in a wheelchair
"Yes, yeah,. Sorry just wanted to just prevent you from forcing yourself but who would have thought that you were even stubborn"
"Lah!!, why am I wrong" inner rian with a sour face
Not long walk finally rian and sonia had reached the bottom floor to speed up the steps to rush to the room ari, rian, but in front of the room they saw Putra and Vera who were chatting with serious faces, because of curiosity Sofia tried to eavesdrop on their conversation
But the eavesdropping plan failed because Rian had already called out the name of the son, to the point that his existence was already known to them, "Well,.. Failed, all this because rian, rich do not know the instinct of women alone" inner Sofia while putting up a frown
"What are you doing here?!" rian asked after himself near the entrance
"Nothing, just talking biased but more importantly how do you feel now?!" son said
"It's been a little light but I'm okay, so it's okay to just look"
"Good, then let's go inside because Ari's room is inside so we should go inside to chat together inside" putra's proposal that invites rian in and rightly the person inside only looks Maya and Ari, then 4 patients who are not known
"Sister vera, sonia, since when have you been together and brother Rian been awake?!" maya is confused by the many questions she asks
"We had just met outside and the Son invited me to come in so I receded and went with him inside, but you don't have to worry because my condition has improved even though I'm still a little weak" rian represents his friends
"Oh, man,.. It's good that it looks like that, but I want to say a big thank you because you guys want to come visit Me and Ari here" said Maya
"It's okay, I say it's like my own brother so you don't have to worry so" replied Rian
When the atmosphere of silence suddenly Putra said to his friend, "Everything I want to ask permission to go home because there are things I have to do so me and vera want to leave first" the voice of the Son made the atmosphere focused towards him
"Why do you want to go home, Son?!" rian's voice
"Yes right, the feeling of school is still long" sonia's voice
"Is there anything serious about making Brother Putra come home fast?" ask maya
"I want to launch the next plan even without you but I'm sure that I can" replied the son
"You mean, the move to fight back against the black roses!!" rian asked in a slightly surprised tone
"You can say that"
"But it's too dangerous and I hope you'll undo your intention to leave without us, let alone without Ari, I don't guarantee you'll be able to return home safely!!" rian's reply
"You underestimated me too much, after all I didn't go straight to war against them"
"Then??"
"Of course I want to do spectacular things in the history of life, and to fight I will launch in the next 4 days, so if all is ready soon after me there" replied the son with a smile
"Why do you want to do all this?" ask a question from sonia
"I don't know, but I'm sure one day I'll get the answer, then me and vera say goodbye first and everyone please take good care of yourself here"
You're also careful there, remember don't be rash and wait for our help to come"
"okay"
"Sister Vera, you have to be careful there, sorry that I can't promise to come to help because I still have to keep Ari here" maya stood up from the chair and hugged Vera, followed by Sonia from the side
"My message is only one, we have to stop them at all costs so, don't force yourself to do something dangerous on your own, and remember me and Rian promise to send all our strength to help you there"
"Yes Nia, I will wait for you there" Vera replied after finishing delivering the message, finally the son and Vera immediately moved to leave the hospital to go home so they could prepare the goods and leave as soon as possible.
