After signing the black document, Bazel then handed over his favorite grandson to Dusk.
"Miss, please take Nindia as your guard," cried Bazel who made Nindia startled.
"Why?" tanya Dusk indifferently while putting the document back into her magic pocket bag.
"Nindia, grandson. She is a kind and strong girl, she is also very good at protecting. I give it to you because most likely the black magician will start moving around us later and with the presence of Nindia, you can be free from their wiles" explained Bazel proudly to his grandson.
"I think that's a very good idea, Miss," Ristia links when Bazel is done with his words.
"The girl is very strong, even she is comparable to Eza," continued Ristia who also felt a thick aura coming out from Nindia's body.
"I know that too,"
"All right, but before that. Will your granddaughter be my loyal servant?" tanya Dusk indifferently while enjoying her tea.
"I don't want someone close to me to be a traitor" he continued.
"Ah, of course not Miss. Wherever my granddaughter might be a traitor," Bazel replied in shock at Dusk's outspoken demeanor.
"Who knows," murmured Dusk not much trust.
Nindia who heard bad things about him, then walked to the side of Dusk while kneeling before him.
"What is he doing?"
"I'm Nindia, not a traitor Miss. My family and I uphold the values of honesty. Even though we are black fairies, mami are still beings who will not rebel against nature that has thrown us away" Nindia explained everything.
"Is that so?"
"Truly Miss,"
"If so, prove it by your oath" continued Dusk after putting his teacup on the table.
Nindia who heard the oath from Dusk, started to raise her head. He then bent his feet in like the position of a knight taking an oath.
"I am Nindia, vowing to continue to be loyal to one employer who has given comfortable life to our people. I am Nindia with the life and dignity of a soldier, giving this weapon to you which I acknowledge as the master and owner of this soul," nindia shouted boldly as she handed over an iron sword with golden Dragon carvings on each side.
Dusk who saw this then took the silver-colored sword and pulled it out of the sheath.
"I am Dusk de Ari, with this vow of soul. I accept you as my immortal knight" exclaimed Dusk then returning the sword to its sheath.
"Stand Nindia, take this and don't lose it" continued Dusk, handing over the sword, which now has a crescent moon on its handle.
"Neither Miss,"
Bazel who saw his granddaughter who had committed an oath of allegiance, could only smile proudly because her granddaughter did not forget the principles of their family life.
"I'm proud of you Nindia, my granddaughter," he murmured softly with a warm smile that still broadened his face.
"Well, Miss, is there anything else you need here?" bazel asked after the oath was completed.
"Nothing, I'll be out soon" cried Dusk briefly, but as he was about to get out. The voice that had previously disappeared now started to shout strangely in his ears.
"He's very strong" shouted one of the sounds that moved like the wind.
"She is great and also beautiful" continued the others while flying around the shoulder of Dusk.
"I know he's great, he even hears our voices" the others happily chimed in.
"Fuck, who the hell are they,"
At first the sound was faint when he first entered this underground city, but when he had been here for a long time, the sound was getting clearer and more pronounced.
That voice actually came from the elementals belonging to the black elves. Elementals are creatures that live side by side with fairies, they are also the ones who often help the fairies in their work.
There were elementals that had the power of water, fire, wind, and earth, all those powers were basically the same as those of humans but elemental powers were stronger than humans.
"Damn it, can be silent not you guys," cried Dusk annoyed while shaking the empty air around him.
"What's wrong Miss?" asked Nindia who was shocked when she heard the voice of the twilight cry.
"Who are they? Their voices greatly disturbed my hearing," cried Dusk once more.
Nindia and Bazel who heard the twilight narration only looked towards the elementals with a strange look.
"It is fitting that from the very beginning Miss came, they looked quite excited," Inner Bazel with a strange smile on his face.
"Usually humans can't hear elemental sounds but I don't know your current condition, Miss,"
"That's possible, I once met a man who could talk to elementals and it turns out that he was also an elementalist just like me" Bazel exclaimed with a friendly smile on his face.
"It may be that Miss is now the same as her," Bazel said, recalling the face of the young man conversing with her element.
"The man is very kind and generous, he is not even afraid of me who is this black elf," Bazel continued explaining his memories at the time.
"It's very similar to you, maybe if I see your face. I could have seen him there" Bazel murmured to himself.
"Where is this guy now?"
"I don't know Miss, the man disappeared when the kingdom he led was destroyed by his own right hand."
" ... "
"He and his wife and their twins disappeared without a trace" continued Bazel who now began to look sad.
"Ah, so it seems," replied the twilight indifferently.
Bazel only smiled in anguish at the cold response given by Dusk, but he was sure that the two twin daughters of the man were still alive today.
"Miss, what if you accept the elementals as your friends?" asked Bazel excitedly.
"I don't want to,"
"It would be very troublesome if I made friends with them," the twilight grumble that was still plagued with the noisy sounds of the elementals.
"Miss, I think you'll soon have one of them," joked Lily who had since just stayed in her pocket.
"Be quiet, you" grumbled an annoyed twilight who decided to unilaterally link between them.
"Ristia, what do you think?" lily asked mischievously when the link was severed unilaterally.
"I think you're right, maybe Miss will often deal with them," replied Ristia agreeing with Lily's opinion.
Nindia herself who heard her elemental voice could only smile strangely with a twilight attitude.
"Miss, you will get one of them later," muttered Nindia when Dusk decided to immediately return to the surface of the ground.
"Bazel one more thing, don't allow anyone to enter this inner area, except those I allow," exclaimed Dusk before he completely walked out of the room.
"Well Miss," Bazel replied politely as he bowed towards Dusk.
"Grandfather, it seems like the naughty elemental boy likes Miss," whispered Nindia softly to Bazel before she exited the room to follow Dusk.
"As you can see, son," Bazel murmured briefly and then returned to his seat.
A while later, Dusk had already come out of the inner area followed by Nindia behind him. When he was about to go to the mining area, Dusk was surprised by the presence of Eza who had stood not far from his current position.
"Miss!" call Eza after the distance between them is thin.
"I get interesting news here," continued Eza while glancing at Nindia.
"Name Nindia," cried Dusk when he saw the expression of question marks from Eza's face.
"He is now my knight just like you," continued Dusk then took the newspaper that Eza had been wanting to give him.
"Speak if it's important," she wrote before moving away from the two.
"Nindia," exclaimed Nindia as she extended her hand.
"Eza..," replied Eza strangely when he grabbed the helping hand.
Dusk who saw the two looked very indifferent and did not care.he then opened the newspaper to see the contents.
"Hahahaha, this is crazy," cried Dusk in shock when he had just read the title listed in the paper.
"How could the place have been destroyed in just three days since I left it" continued Dusk annoyed at what was there at the time.
"Are they planning to cover it up?" dusk asked as he took a quick glance at Arthur and his friend.
"Whatever that's the reason, now it'll be hard for me to investigate them,"
"I have to ask them this later," murmured Dusk as he thought of the Cloe family serving in the current Guira kingdom.
"How dare he screw up my plan. I will definitely make him regret," grumbled Dusk unknowingly burning the newspaper in his hand.
