On a clear day, the palace remained as calm as ever. Although the news that the kingdom of Lilua will carry out a rebellion has been widely spread, but the situation remains under control.
“How would it be if the kingdom of Lilua really planned to revolt?” Zeria pulled out her short hair.
Lucas and Eric in front of him were made silent by the question. “All we can do is defend and fight” Lucas propped up his chin. Eric's expression also hardened, his expression saying as if there was one thing he feared most.
“We are stronger than them, but do not know what will happen if it turns out they cooperate with other races”
Eric's remarks made Zeria and Lucas flinch, “I've never thought in that direction, it's good we report-“
Lucas' words were cut because the door was opened hard
BRACKET!
“Princess! There was an attack in the village near the east gate! Said the one leading the invader was the subordinate of the Princess!” A bodyguard suddenly said so without caring about manners anymore.
“Bawahan?”
“Ah, I'm sorry your highness crown prince” The bodyguard immediately lowered his head after learning that there was Lucas there. It was clear that the bodyguard was not the bodyguard of the princess palace.
“Continue”
“Ah good! We just got a report that there was an attack in the village near the east gate carried out by the demon race”
“Devil said?”
“True, and according to reports, it was the subordinates of the princess who led them. Boy with dark purple hair”
“Azra?!”
“You can go” Lucas raised his hand and told the guard to leave.
The atmosphere became shattered, a sense of tension approaching Zeria. “What Azra betrayed me?” Thought it.
“Do not think that no, we better see directly. I'll protect you” Lucas gripped Zeria's hand.
Without thinking anymore, Zeria immediately agreed to Lucas' invitation, and they quickly teleported to the village where the attack occurred.
People run around here and there to treat themselves without caring about others. The cry of the little boy that sounded loud, the man who lay lifeless in the streets, the blood splattered everywhere.
“What is this?” Fucked up, everything's out of control. Even if Zeria yelled and asked people to follow her directions, no one would hear her.
Buk up!
Something hit Zeria's leg.
“Kak, please us”
Zeria lowered her gaze, “Little boy?”
Two little kids hit Zeria's leg, maybe she's about 6? “Twin?” Lucas. Snow-white hair and light blue eyes that were slightly watery from tears.
“You didn't get hurt, did you?” Zeria rubbed their heads together, “You go that way, go as far as possible and do not look back. Brother will protect you from behind, okay?”
The two of them nodded and wiped their tears, then started running towards the direction that Zeria had told them. That direction was the direction to the eternal iceberg, as long as they ran towards it, they would not meet the demon nation, because that place was a very forbidden place for the demon nation. “May they survive” A sour smile etched on Zeria's face.
Lucas looked at the two boys who were still running without looking back like Zeria's orders, “Let's go”He grabbed Zeria's hand and pulled her away, followed by Eric behind them.
“Is the person who initiated this attack really Azra?”
“Then who?”
…
They kept running and occasionally thought about the possibility that would happen. “If Azra is in the palace, then who is in the village?” The words of Zeria represent all their thoughts.
According to reports, Azra was the perpetrator of this attack. However, the reality is that Azra is now in the palace. Then which is right? “It is impossible if Azra is in two different places that are quite far away simultaneously. And again Azra is a specialist in illusion magic, not doubling down. So it could not happen unless.” Zeria suddenly remembered the twins earlier.
“What if they turn out to be two different people?”
…
Zeria and Lucas were shocked to hear Eric just now. “Eric...Did you read my mind just now?”
“JUST YOU! I'm just saying what I'm thinking about”
That's the biggest possibility. The three of them continued to run until they finally reached the east gate village square, and there was only a void there. No humans or ‘Azra’ are on the report.
“empty, what is this trap?” Lucas drew his sword and pointed it towards the front and prepared to receive any incoming attacks.
They walked slowly towards a terraced house and climbed on it. Observe the situation from a height and in the end no one is seen. “Where?” maybe it's a word that keeps repeating itself in their heads.
Their eyes continued to look around without anyone missing, “What are you doing there?”
A person's voice shocked them and reflexed to face behind them to see the source of the sound. Zeria has even prepared her magic to attack the person if it feels dangerous.
“Wo, why are you brandishing a sword at me” The man raised both his hands while putting on a worried face.
Purple hair and deep purple eyes, his height was slightly shorter than Eric's. “Azra?!”
As soon as the situation becomes silent, “How did you get here?” Zeria approached Azra without canceling the magic in her right hand first, and hid it behind her body.
“Shouldn't I have asked that?” Azra smile.
Her sweet face looked a little sour, but there was one thing that caught Zeria's attention. Perhaps in the eyes of others, that innocent smile would erase all suspicion. But something was wrong, when he smiled, a dimple was seen on his left cheek. Azra herself did not have a mortar.
“Who is this guy?” Someone he knew and had dimples on his left cheek. A man whose face was very similar to Azra's.
As Zeria was thinking about it, Lucas suddenly stood in front of Zeria and pointed his sword at Azra. “Is it true that you are the leader of the demons?” Without lowering his guard, Lucas continued forward until the tip of his sword touched Azra's neck.
There was not the slightest trace of fear in Azra's eyes, even though at this time his life could be floated at any time. And not a word came out of his mouth.
“Do you want to keep quiet until you die?” Lucas advanced his sword position until it slashed his neck slightly.
Azra remained silent. I don't know what kept her quiet, but Zeria could feel something familiar behind Azra's fist.
“She casts invader magic!”
Zeria swiftly pulled Lucas behind him and directly attacked Azra with magic that had been in his right hand.
"ZERIA?!"
Due to Zeria's enormous magic capacity, Azra even instantly bounced away in the blink of an eye when the magic touched her body.
Now the distance between them was quite far, at the end of his view, there was Azra who stood while holding her stomach which was exposed to Zeria magic. Seeing him who did not instantly die even when exposed to Zeria magic directly, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
“You think I'm stupid for not being able to recognize you, Vicent?"
