In the morning, the sky looks so bright as if it is ready to welcome people who will be on the move that morning.
Today was the day that Alin had been waiting for, the day that he would go to the academy after all the time he had been silent in the palace. Alin who was very excited wanted to go to the academy, woke up earlier than before. He bathed and ate in the kitchen, then waited for the KIMASEF troupe who had not yet arrived on the bench of the palace garden.
While waiting for them, Alin tried to breathe the fresh air that was in the garden. The fragrance of flowers was scattered everywhere, all the fragrance of flowers mixed in a gust of wind that seemed to be one in the nose that would breathe it.
Shortly after Alin sat there relaxing, there came someone who immediately put something on his head. Alin of course was very surprised by this because it was like someone scratched a little bit of his head. He slowly turned his head to look at the person behind him.
"Ah... Gion apparently, I guess who. Ahaha.."
Gion only responded to the smile on his face. Then Alin lowered something clawing at his head, which was actually Viko. He is very happy with the arrival of Viko who has not seen for a long time over the past week, Alin also thanked Gion.
"Wahhh. Thank you Gion."
"Oh yeah, for the past week, I've been taking care of her. And I've also taught him some magic spells, how? Great right?" Gion asked who sounded like he was proud.
"Yes, yeah. You're so great!"
Alin only considers it funny Gion's actions, but on the other hand he also feels very grateful to Gion who has tried hard to keep the naughty Viko. On second thought, Gion must have had another purpose besides delivering Viko.
"Hm... You're gonna want to ask for something, aren't you?" Guess Alin as she blinks her lips.
"Hehehe... You've started to poultice with me. That's right."
"So what do you want?" Alin asked as he stroked Viko who was on his arm right now.
"Hm... Reyhan once said... That you... Can make a good ripped bread, can you make it for me, please...." Gion Pinta.
"Owhh... Of course, I'll make it for you. Just meet me in the palace kitchen tonight, okay?"
"Hm, okay."
Gion sat there with Alin on the bench. But the others still hadn't come and it made Alin confused. While putting on a sullen expression Alin turned his head back to the left and to the right of the palace garden back to confirm their existence.
"Stttt... Where the others are, I've waited a long time, but they haven't come yet either. Did I come too early?" Mumbled Alin.
"The others go on an impromptu Regental mission, so they'll be absent later." Answer Gion.
"What?! What's?! So then... What are you doing here now?!"
"Waiting for Luke." The answer.
Not long after the conversation was hanging, Luke walked up to them and approached them. Clumping around where they rang because of his footsteps, Alin turned to look towards Luke who gracefully stepped towards them with a special palace outfit he was wearing. Alin was instantly mesmerized and his gaze was immediately fixated with it.
It was seen that the handsome Luke walked towards them, clad in white clothes and white suits and blue and white robes with some accessories that were so elegant and beautiful. When walking towards them, his silver white hair was swept by the wind which added to the atmosphere became more graceful and also astetic with neatly arranged flowers in the garden.
Alin who saw that, still could not turn his gaze away and remained fixated until Luke approached them.
"How's Alin, are you ready?" Asked Luke with a slight smile on his face.
"Huh...? What...? Oh yes, Ready! Uh! Ready what?" Alin's question began to awaken.
"We will take the Regental mission registration form at the mission headquarters. We'll both go with you." Answer Gion.
"Owh... Yeah, fine. But... do I have to be absent today?"
"Hm. You take it easy, me and Luke have taken care of the preparations. Okay, we're leaving now." Said Gion who stood up straight from her seat.
After hearing that, Alin stood up from his place and they went to the mission headquarters. With teleportation, they could arrive there with the blink of an eye alone. The three of them went straight into the office and met a master inside.
Once they got inside, it was obvious that all the members of the Regental mission were busy today. Everyone passes quickly with different activities. Some were carrying a pile of books and papers, some were chatting with friends, some were installing mission boards and many more.
The room that was almost the same size as the academy library was filled with a lot of people who were really busy, no one stayed in place. When Alin was silent to see the men, Gion left with Luke alone.
"Come on." Take Lukas.
"Please sit down prince, princess. We'll find the file for you." Said the man who let them sit in the chair.
They sat in the chair with the man who immediately thrust an inverted sheet of paper into Alin and Luke who were in front of him. Before he showed it to them, he introduced himself to Alin who might not know him now.
"Daughter of Jiu, introduce my name Gu Gi Gi, you can call me Master Gi like prince Luke. It's good to see you."
"My name is Jiu Xiao Alin, Master. Nice to meet you too Master." Reply to Alin politely.
After they became acquainted, Master Gi turned the paper over and showed it to Alin and Luke who were in front of him. Curious about the contents of the paper, Alin picked it up and read the paper.
"This... What does it mean? Half mission release?" Alin asked who looked puzzled after reading the paper he had in his hand just now.
"So this is princess Jiu, prince Luke took the Regental mission and put your name on his mission list. If the princess wants to get into the Regental mission as well, then the prince must relinquish half of his responsibility over you to us and your own abilities." Evidently.
"Owh... So thats..."
"Master Gi, I'll sign this deal. I hope you can take good care of her." Luke.
"You can entrust it to us, prince."
Convinced, Luke takes the paper from Alin's hand and puts it on the table, then raises a pen and signs it. By signing the piece of paper, Lukas had already given up half of his responsibilities towards Alin to the existing Regental board.
Shortly after Luke signed the paper, Master Gi's assistant Ji Ku came to them with several sheets of paper and books floating in the air. He put her on the table right in front of the four of them right now. Ji Ku sat down and opened the paper he was carrying, then showed it to Alin and Luke.
"Daughter of Jiu, please fill in this biodata and sign it here and here." Said Ji Ku who placed some sheets of paper on the table.
After that Alin took the paper and read it at a glance, he then filled the biodata completely and quickly. Then Ji Ku opened the ledger he brought and showed it to Master Gi.
"What was his first mission?" Ask Luke who seems curious.
"Eh, what? first mission?" Mumbled Alin.
"Haha..It turns out that prince Luke is quite attentive to the object of his mission." Master Gi.
When he heard that, Alin immediately clenched his hand, he felt that he did not accept the reality that he did not want to hear. Alin did not want to be noticed and cared for by Luke for a certain purpose, but with his own heart. He felt disappointed, but Alin kept a smile on his face while clenching his hands tightly which Ji Ku accidentally saw.
"Mission object... Is that how Luke is to me?"
"Alright, princess Jiu's first mission wasn't difficult. You just need to find a pet tiger a resident who's gone missing the last few days." Master Gi.
"I think it's a mission that's perfectly suited to her." Luke immediately agreed.
"Huh? A tiger?!" Alin asked in surprise.
"Eh, ma-I mean... The cat! Yes, cats, cats. Hehe..."
Alin was astonished and frowned after hearing that. But he finally believed and confirmed the words of Master Gi.
"Hm... Alright."
"Master Gi, aren't there any challenging obstacles later? He must learn to protect himself, please prepare." Pinta Lukas with a wicked smile.
"Well! What's?! Nope, no. Don't listen to this polar mountain Master! I'm..."
"You must learn to face obstacles and attacks." Luke again.
"It's nasty! Humpt!"
"Haha... You two look so close that you can fight like this. Ji Ku will prepare it later, prince. Daughter, you can carry out your mission in 3 days, prepare first." Master Gi.
After getting the mission, Alin and Luke drifted and said goodbye to the three of them to leave. But suddenly the palace guards frantically came to the place and called out Luke's name aloud, echoing loud enough to break the noise outside.
