L A 76 - Siren Situation
The sunlight began to shoot. The chirping of birds sounded melodious accompanied by the morning dew that greeted.
”Hmm... What feels springy in my chest?” Leo closed his eyes and tried to feel something but he felt something foreign and felt comfortable.
”Emm... What are you holding, boy?!”
Upon gaining his consciousness, Leo found V above his body and hugged him while his palm felt V's chest.
”Eh... Why are you on top of me?” ask Leo.
”Children act like a boy. You should be bolster for me.” V shook Leo's hand and hugged the teenager and continued to sleep.
’Elf this crazy! Even though I was in a fifteen year old teenager, but I had been a man before!’ Leo is crazy because of this situation.
Luckily there was a new Cochlea bathing and immediately woke V.
”Build, V. We will head to the largest port in the Floral Kingdom and the Carta Continent which is in the Siren.” region Cochlea tickled V's stomach and made the Elf wake up.
”Chlea! Let me not be longer!” V grumbled and looked annoyed.
”Mother... Hix... I want to live a relaxed life and not like this!”
Seeing V curled up next to Leo, Cochlea sighed at the sight of her best friend being delirious. Seeing this, Leo asked Cochlea about V.
”Disregard it, Leo. He was often delirious like this. See she looks so cute isn't a moment like this? Very different as usual, right?” Cochlea said and made Leo nod involuntarily.
”Leo, prepare. I'll take care of V,” Cochlea said.
After that Leo also made preparations to continue their journey from the Floral Capital to the Siren Region. The three had breakfast first and searched for information about Charlotte Floral, after it was felt safe Leo rushed to the Siren Region with V and Cochlea.
On the way to the Siren Region, Leo saw the faint shadow of a human as well as V and Cochlea. Then the three of them examined the figure and found a seventeen-year-old boy full of bruises and blood.
”He was seriously injured... From his face he is not from Floral, Soul or Gaspar.” V muttered as he looked at the face of the poor young man.
Meanwhile Cochlea widened her eyes and bit her index finger nails due to feeling a bad feeling.
”V, he is not from this continent. This boy had the same characteristics as the faces of the people from Canute. That warlike barbarians. What are they doing here?”
Cochlea creates a knife from his magical aura and is about to kill the young man, but Leo stops him.
”Why did you stop me, rancid boy?” Cochlea stared at Leo coldly in need of an explanation.
”Kakak Chlea, I have magic that can see one's memories.” Leo explains that some time after joining Tartaros he learned some magic.
Magic that can see a person's memories is magic that Leo learns. Leo tries to convince Cochlea and V not to kill the young man immediately.
”Everything I hate is naive boy! Why our Leader is so interested in this brat-”
”I'm not naive, Brother Chlea! If he is useless, I will kill him!”
Seeing Leo's sharp gaze made Cochlea silent, while V noticed Leo who started to use magic on the young man. Then asked the young man's identity when he saw Leo's complicated expression that finished looking at the young man's memory.
”Cih, I don't know where to explain it from. This boy is a Prince from the Kingdom of Canute,” Leo said.
”Bokah? You're a stupid boy too! New liateen years old don't be arrogant!” V clinched Leo's head as he said with an expression that looked arrogant in his eyes.
Then Leo tells V and Cochlea that the poor young man is Catloph Canute. A prince from a land called the Kingdom of Canute that is across the continent.
Catloph Canute and his brother Icuras Canute were involved in the unilateral usurpation of the Icuras Canute throne. Unlike the strong and mighty Icarus, Catloph was just a weak and sickly young man.
His mother's death at a young age made Catloph even weaker and King Canute was very hard on her and never noticed her. The Canute Kingdom was a land squeezed into two continents, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.
A Kingdom famous for their cruelty in war. The reason why Catloph was in this condition was because the King of Canute, named Thorfish Canute, was the father of Catloph, who gave his son the task of conquering the land of the Carta Continent and saving their inhabitants the kidnapped.
It was rumored that the inhabitants of the Canute Kingdom were kidnapped by the people of the Carta Continent and that was enough for the Canute Kingdom to start their war. Now the situation in the Siren Region seems very chaotic and terrible because of the unilateral massacre that occurred there.
Two Royal Generals apparently get a secret mission from Thorfish to kill Catloph in the Carta Continent. In addition to successfully making Catloph like this, Catloph's brother was also present disguised as a team to get the glory and proof of his father.
”A very barbaric thought. So what are we going to do, Brother Chlea, Sister V?” Leo asked V and Cochlea.
”Killing this boy seems free, but we can make this boy a valuable prisoner. V, you heal him.” Cochlea immediately rang her fingers after saying that.
”Those cunning people made a terrible mess!” cochlea said with frustration.
”Those people?” Leo looks curious and Cochlea explains that the masterminds of all this are people from the Bahamut Empire.
”At least we can foil their plans by beheading the prince of the Kingdom of Canute.”
After healing Catloph's wounds, V used illusion magic and gave Catloph a few pieces of money and asked the young man to wait for them in the Floral Capital.
Seeing that Leo only remained silent before continuing their journey towards the Siren Region which was now a battleground.
