Gray Knight
Kingdom of Concordia

 Shadows creeping through the night, the peaceful water reflected moonlight and occasionally seemed to shake as the fish kissed its lips to the surface, creating wavy circles that intersected. Not to forget the distinctive aroma of night lantern oil, plus the air that feels cool also makes the night feel very serene.

(Geez, the grandfathers told me to go to bed too fast, now I'm waking up in the middle of the night, and can't sleep anymore) Dessou was a little bit of a moan in his mind, looking at the moon with his elbow out the window. He only stayed to take a sitting position, if he wanted to see the scenery outside the dormitory, because the place he slept right on the edge of the wall, passed by the window.

(Well, I might only be able to sleep) Dessou began to accept what was her destiny, she knew no one would accompany her to play, she said, he could only sleep fast that day.

 The night continued to pass quietly, until suddenly a group of royal soldiers made a tremor with their legs, the vibration felt scattered to various areas not far from the dormitory where Dessou was resting.

"Where's the run? Geez, that little boy is so nimble." A person from the royal warrior was seen grumbling and looking around.

 Dessou watched the movements of the soldiers at a glance from the direction of the window, and instantly closed the window. The vibration of the soldier's legs felt increasingly distant.

"Geez what's up now?"(I better get to bed soon). Dessou returned to a lying position and covered herself with a blanket. Just as her eyes were closed, suddenly a soft knocking sound came from the window beside Dessou.

(Tok tock) "Hello, is anyone there?" Someone tried to call Dessou after first knocking on the door.

"Hello, I'm sorry but isn't this too late?" (who is, her voice is like a girl). Dessou retorted briefly and kept the window closed.

"Please open the window, I'm being chased and I'm afraid, please.. "

"Who's chasing you in the middle of the night like this, just for a girl like you, this sounds weird."

"Oh please, they'll find me soon, you don't know anything about them." The girl continued to beg, and finally Dessou opened his window and pulled the girl into his dorm.

"Who's after you? "

"The royal soldiers."

"Why are they after you?"

"Well, maybe, because I'm the king's daughter.. "

"Geez!!! "(arggh. I guess what, this is really a problem for me).

"Hm... Sorry hehe.. "

"All right, I'll take you back to the palace"

"Huh palace? On foot? Do you know the way to the palace?"(geez, this boy, seems to just be quiet in his house huh) The king's daughter doubted Dessou, how not, he had just traveled away from the palace with his father in a special royal carriage escorted by several soldiers, then ran away to play, and an outback boy said he would bring him back on foot.

"I've had enough trouble. So come quickly with me.. " Dessou ended her debate with the king's daughter, she immediately rushed to pick up her shoes, but something left her startled when she had just seen what she wanted to take.

"www... " Shouted Dessou cynically.

"What's wrong? ww..! " The king's daughter came to see what surprised Dessou. And what he saw was a pair of worn-out shoes filled with mud.

 Dessou was fleeting in agitation, but she chose to put her shoes on immediately, lowering the king's daughter back from the window and coming out of the window.

"Come with me!"

 "Do you know the way?" The king's daughter doubted Dessou's knowledge.

"Ehhmm. Sometimes I help my grandmother sell her cookies. So I've been going around... "

Dessou replied in a weakened tone, it seemed like she was doubting herself as well.

"Here, follow me" The princess pulled Dessou's hand while running around in a hurry. And Dessou followed him.

"Why are you running? "

"Tsttt... Just shut up, you don't know the way anyway, do you?"

 Dessou continued to follow the princess until the two of them arrived at a lake.

"This is your kingdom? "

"Of course not!"

"Then why did you pull me here? "

"Hey listen, the world is so vast you know, you think the palace is near here, I came with my father to this village, the village of Tranquilcampus, you know, I am from the kingdom of Concordia which coincides with the village of Harmoniaevadum. I ran away from my father and played here, because after this I will definitely be taken back to the palace. I'm bored in the palace, I want to play like the other kids. My father loved me so much that he wouldn't let me play with the villagers."

"Oooohs.... Have you ever played in a palace?" Dessou heard a rather long explanation from the princess and immediately responded when the princess let out a long sigh.

"There's too much respect for dignity, so whatever I do is always wrong, anyway, it's very boring."

"Oh, that's it, really boring.. "

 After hearing the princess's complaint, Dessou forgot what to do, moreover, when a water bullet shot came from the princess's hand and hit Dessou's face. Both play cheerfully and forget about time. Even Dessou's shoes to the clean sparkle like new shoes.

 Dessou continued to run in an uncertain direction, sometimes the uneven position of the stone often made him fall many times, but he still tried to forget the pain and keep getting up, he said, forcing the time he rarely found to continue to accompany him, however, he who had been shunned and abandoned by the surrounding residents, made him lose his smile. But all the pleasures of Dessou and the king's daughter, had to stop when a group of soldiers came and ambushed the two.

"Sorry, princess, but you must return to the palace immediately.." One of the royal soldiers spoke to the princess.

"No, it's very boring.. " The princess tried to refuse, and intended to run away again, but she was carried by one of the soldiers this time.

"Hrpm.. " The princess muttered while putting on her pouting face.

"Dessou!!! " A woman among the soldiers called Dessou very loudly, she was in uniform, but not a soldier's uniform.

"The kids in the dorm saw you run off with a girl..." He spoke a little, and lowered his gaze with a shy smile, as he passed by the princess. Immediately welcomes Dessou's hand, then pulls him quite hard. Dessoun followed him until he returned to his dorm.

"Don't you know who you've been playing with all night? "

"I know, she's the king's daughter isn't she?"

"Yes and you should get punished for being rude to the princess."

"I was just accompanying him to play, was that wrong? "

"Have you forgotten your status? You are the offspring of a rotten person, how could you not be ashamed of playing with the princess?"

 Dessou silently received a snub from the woman, and she was dried in a courtyard in front of her class. He was required to receive the scorching sun until the learning hours began, so he had to endure the heat from the rising sun until the sun was overhead. There, learning begins when the sun is at its peak and ends in the evening. After a while, someone in a white coat walked past Dessou.

"What have you done?" Grandpa asked briefly.

"I've been playing with the princess, cake.. "

"Sometimes you have to be careful who your opponents talk to, the slightest problem that the common people make to the ruler, can be punished with the heaviest , no matter how big a problem the ruler makes, ' he said, can be done with just a piece of paper."

" Can I ask the cake? " Dessou was initially silent for a while to receive some ridicule from the grandparents and then asked.

"What's? "

" Why did you tell me to go to bed too fast last night? I woke up in the middle of the night... "

"I told you to sleep at that time, to rest for a while, not to spend a long night. "

 The grandfathers had just left Dessou and gave a spirited smile, but his smile this time seemed to be for another reason, because someone who had punished Dessou had come with a new prey.

"It looks like you've made a new friend Dessou..."

 The grandfathers and the woman spoke while stepping away, leaving both men with her guidance. The atmosphere was a little too bright to the point that one of them started to talk.

"Hi, I'm Hanzou Braincracker, what's your name?"

"I'm Dessou"

"Where are you from?"

"Yukija Village.. "

"Yuki? Oh you mean Serenitasrivus..?"

"Serenitarrivus? "

"Yes, that's the official name, on the map you won't find Yukija's name on Harmonia island.."

"Well... It seems like my knowledge is very shallow huh?"

"Not really, it's just about the map, maybe Yukija is a name that is often referred to by most people there. Then how did you get here? "

"Walk.. "

"What's? Walk on? From the village of Serenitasrivus to the village of Tranquilcampus.why not just ride the freight train, the trip can even feel short because sometimes the driver uses the power of Colourball (well it is illegal anyway.) How long did you spend here?

"Not too far away, my grandmother and I live in the border area of the village, and this school is also at the end of the village tranquilcampus, so the time is around from morning until noon until the sun is right at the top, maybe to get here. I'm used to walking long distances with my grandmother, the problem of riding a train, it's a lot of money I guess. Moreover, they do not like our clan, Ophalet. "

"Ophalets? "

"Why?" Dessou hoped a little, Hanzou would accept his condition as an Ophaletian.

"Ehh.. There aren't.... Then how can you be punished here? "

"The story is very long, and I don't think I'm allowed to tell him. "

"Oh.. All right, it's okay" (What's the problem? is it because the shoes are still wet? No. He said, he can't tell her.)

"What about you? What caused you to be punished here with me?"

"Well, I got stoned with questions, and I couldn't answer them. The lesson here seems irrational, so I've always been reluctant to answer it. "

 Time passed, and the hours of study began, Dessou and Hanzou were approached by female dormitories and allowed to enter their respective classes.

" Hey, let me add a little bit of your knowledge about this island okay? The island is named Harmonia, an island with balanced and harmonious nature, vast grasslands and beautiful lakes, its kingdom is named Concordia. People live in balance with nature. And one more thing, Colourball here is diverse, unlike other islands.. "

 Dessou received all the brief explanations from Hanzou, then both of them entered their respective classes.
