Metanoia; The Hybrid
CHAPTER 43: GO TO ANGKARA KINGDOM.
...POV AUTHOR...
The long journey left Gara and the others exhausted. They stopped for a moment when they arrived at Angkara Pack, a city under the rule of the Angkara kingdom.
They instantly changed and put on a robe as they were about to exit the forest. Especially because he dominated his Lycanthrope side to eliminate his Hybrid aura. They walked down the streets of the city and tried to avoid the crowd.
"They were all going to the kingdom" muttered Gara while looking at the well-dressed people, until some of them were riding horses and leaving just like that. Everyone certainly wants to go to the kingdom, to witness the ascension of the Prince they crave.
"How do we get there fast? We are almost out of steam because we keep running" said Chlea holding Gara's arm to stop her steps.
"We-we"
Suddenly a man accidentally nudged Gara, the man turned around, "I'm sorry son, I'm in such a hurry."
Because he lowered his face and held the robe that protected his head, "It's okay, sir."
"You seem to be traveling, where are you going?" Ask the man while looking at Edward's face.
"We want to go to the kingdom of Angkara, we want to see the ceremony of ascension" said Edward blatantly, because he knew what he planned to do by saying it.
"Oh! Then come with me, I'll go there using my horse cart" said the oria, pointing at a cart full of weeds inside.
"Thank you for your help, sir!" Said Jack and Ardan in rhythm. They followed the man, rode his horse-drawn cart, and continued on.

On the other hand, Allegro who continued to pay attention to himself in the mirror reflection was unceasingly upset, because the official clothes of the Angkara kingdom were so incompatible with him.
Allegro repeatedly turned around or tried to pose, but still, he did not like the results of it all.
"Prince.." complained one of the servants in a slow rhythm as Allegro again moved to convince himself to wear the clothes.
"What?" Allegro asked who heard the tired voice of the waiter.
"I have to do the Prince's hair..." He said, asking that Allegro stop moving and sit in the front seat of the dressing table.
Allegro also obeyed the servant's wishes, because he also could not bear to make him wait, he just sat down and watched his reflection in the mirror with a dislike look.
"Allegro! Are you done?" Ask the mother of the man who came to the Allegro and Gara room. The servants immediately bowed respectfully, then continued their activities.
Annelise finds her first son who seems to hate her own appearance. He came and stood beside Allegro, looking at the official clothes that the boy was wearing.
"Well! Aren't you so handsome?" Praise Annelise, hope her son changes his mind.
"I feel weird, mom. I prefer the red pattern in my own clothes!" Allegro.
"But gold is compatible with your hair, don't you think?" Annelise gave the servants the head code.
"That's really Prince! The prince looks handsome charming with a golden complexion! It's very compatible with the Prince's hair!" Said the waiter who was styling Allegro's hair.
"Yes right, Prince!" Add the other one.
It made Allegro start to smile in embarrassment when he heard people praising his new appearance, the annoyed face had disappeared already.
"You're a handsome mother's son!" Said Annelise while peeping Allegro's forehead.
"After you're done, come to mom in the living room, okay? After welcoming, we will march" he said.
"Alright mom!" Then Annelise left Allegro in her room.
After he finished with his hair, he again stood in front of the mirror to reassure himself once more. Allegro looked at the pearl bando that was coiled around his head, to hold back his hair so as not to disturb his face.
"You're sure people won't look at me weird?" Allegro asked the servants.
"No way, Prince. You look handsome in that outfit!"
Allegro smiled at the waiters, "Thank you for the help."
"Fyuu-What's that sparkle!?"
Hearing someone's voice, Allegro turned towards the large window in his room. There he finds Lucier just showing up, peering into the window.
Lucier laughed, "I'm looking for you! Come to the living room, I see your friends there!"
Allegro raised one eyebrow, "You know my friends?"
"Your friends are my friends too!"
Allegro just nodded lazily with Lucier's manner and walked out of his room. He walked down the aisle filled with busy people, until he arrived at the central room, where the throne was. He found his mother who was with other royal queens.
"Mom, I'm ready" she said as she arrived in front of her mother.
"Well! Prince Allegro, you're so handsome!" Praise one of the queens who are pregnant.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen" Allegro bowed once in honor of the Queen.
"Sister Allegro, let's get together with the others!" Pinta Lucier on arrival at the Queen's gathering.
"This is Lucier, my twin son" said Lucier's mother, introducing her son to other queens.
"But soon you don't just have 2 sons! Look at your content, how many months has it been, Miranda?" Annelise asked as she stroked the stomach of the Demon Queen of the clan.
"About 5 months..."
"Eh.. But it's this big?!" Strangled the other Queen.
"Haha! Maybe I'll get the twins again!"
...════════ ◖◍◗ ════════...
After the journey, they finally arrived at the front page of the Angkara kingdom. Gara and the others directly got off the wagon, and ran to the other side of the gate.
"We will not enter through the gate, there are INTI troops who participate in the guard" Bantin Gara used Pack Link to communicate with his friends.
"But they won't realize us!" Deny Edward.
"They are the troops who came to the Academy, they already know your scent" explained Gara while looking at the soldiers who bowed respectfully as the noble carriages entered the royal courtyard.
"We're just going through the back. There was a door in the back garden of the kingdom that the servants used to get out" As he directly led a detour to the back of the kingdom.
After arriving, they docked to a patch filled with bushes as several servants walked out of the iron gate. They seemed to be going down to the Pack with their baskets.
After feeling safe, Gara peeked into the backyard. He saw countless Epic warriors guarding there.
"We can't go in if the Epic Warriors see us" Gara told her friends.
"I know!" Screeched proudly. Everyone immediately turned to look at him, and saw a bag of shimmering powder within.
"Sparkle dust! You're smart as Selena!" Praise Chlea while taking the pouch from Selena's hand. After that, he immediately took out the sparkling powder bit by bit and sprinkled it onto their heads. Miraculously, they began to disappear, invisibility.
"I can't see you guys!" Jack said in fear.
"Hahaha, focus your eyesight!"
Jack followed Ardan's advice, and he began to look back at his friends. He breathed a sigh of relief because he had thought he would be alone.
Then, Gara took the lead again to enter slowly into the royal backyard. They passed through the garden, until the ranks of Epic warriors entered the royal passageway.
"I've never been this close to an Epic warrior.." murmured Edward.
"For they are guarding the kingdom only! Don't you know about that?!" Ardan Protest.
Suddenly, one of the Epic warriors sniffed the air. That kept Edward away from her. They froze in shock for a moment.
"Is there a new servant?" Asked the Epic Warrior as he continued to breathe the air around him.
"Stop your obsession, man" replied his partner.
"Hm... It's weird..."
He returned to his original position. They could all breathe again. He continued his footsteps deeper into the kingdom until he was on the balcony of the central chamber or throne, where all the Kings and Queens were gathered to witness and witness the abdication.
