My blood my sword
Emperor's Death

"friends what happened, and this is where" asked Rei who was still feeling confused

"we were in the palace hospital and you were taken by Brother Farel yesterday" Felix said

Rei tried to remember what happened before he fainted, until a while he started to remember everything. He was very worried about the state of the king as well as the crown prince yet he could not suddenly panic and ask those of his friends who definitely did not know about it either

He tried to calm down and rest while waiting for Farel or Yuna to come to see him. Rei tried to close his eyes and he was completely asleep, until the moment he opened his eyes the morning was already

His friends were also having breakfast but they were not getting ready and were still wearing patient clothes

Rey also had breakfast and was getting ready because a guard had just asked them to go to the front hall

"what is it, why are we being told to gather there?" it seems like Zanet really doesn't know anything this time, maybe his strength is not perfect so he can't find accurate information about his surroundings

As long as the road led to the front hall, Rei looked tense, how could he not also be on the scene and witness the fall of the Emperor

And sure enough, there were already many bouquets and nobles and royal officials gathered to pay their last respects to the Emperor

"it's not true, it's not the last show of respect for the Emperor, is it?" ask Zanet who is still confused by the current situation

"how could the glorious Emperor just die" said Yusa who also did not believe

"your friends yesterday there was indeed an attack and I saw for myself that the Emperor had been killed" Rei said softly

Many people were joining, there were also some who did not believe this, the crown prince who was still gravely injured was not present in the funeral at this time, second and third, respectively, as for the Princess who was also present at the event this time.

After the event was over these four companions returned to the hospital, as they had no other purpose, nor were they likely to leave the place because Brother Farel was still there as well

"what we have to do next is now that the Emperor is gone" Zanet said

"Let's say you know something"

"i haven't had a chance to talk to the Emperor yet, he only praised me because I dared to come and complain about you" said Rei, who was forced to lie

Not long after there were some people who asked them to follow, it seemed like it was Yuna's men

Sure enough they directed Yusha and his friends towards the dock where there was Yuna

"there was only this that I could do go with Farel to the demon country to search for the witch" Yuna hurriedly said as she handed him a map scroll

Without saying anything else they immediately set off on the prepared ship

above the surging sea water they stared at the night sky with the wind blowing fiercely

"i didn't expect we'd go this far, how are you and mom" Felix said, longing for his parents

"i also miss my family" continued Yusha who tumben once he can vent

"i miss the witch's grandfather"Zanet does have only a witch's grandfather and no parents

"kids let's have dinner" said Farel, who had apparently just finished cooking

"yes I'm really hungry, let's stand up and eat" said Felix who tried to cheerfully cheerfully as usual

Yusha holds Rei in and asks if Rei really does not know or if he has a secret with his Majesty the Emperor

Rei then cleaned up something he knew

"sorry I didn't mean to lie but we can't trust anyone in the palace so I can't tell you that out loud, your majesty also suspects her family especially her children, but I think for sure it was not the crown prince because he almost died to protect the Emperor"Rei whispered softly to Yusha because he was indeed afraid that someone else would hear their conversation

Yusha nodded, he knew Rei's position was going awry if he said it in public

after talking, they had dinner

...****************...

"wah dinner this time is very special because we have dinner on the boat" said Zanet yes indeed never boarded the ship

after going to dinner and talking they immediately held a meeting

"after reaching the border we will go straight to the loneliest region in the country, because we have arrived here with the last position possible in front of us already many other children, he said, since they are also bound to the boundary of the dimension, we must be vigilant and along the way we must also collect food supplies, he said, because in the quietest village there will be no one who can help us to get food sources" Felix explained at length

"good means our mission is to find as many food sources as possible for supplies in deserted villages and also the demon world" Yusha as team leader said

they all immediately rested and prepared for tomorrow when they arrived on the ground

...****************...

arriving on land was not a good thing they saw but rather some other team members who seemed to want to turn around and return

Yusha asks them what really happened and why they could want to go back and not continue the journey

They say that there the competition of the teams is very tight and they all kill each other, those who feel they can't get better come back and don't take more risks, he said, there is also another thing that makes them come back that the demons also often roam in deserted villages because it is a border

Felix concluded that the competition was due to foodstuffs so they had to actually store that foodstuff and survive, he said, there are two options that Felix has to offer: go ahead now or wait for some people to come back and grab the food

they all chose the second option: to snatch food from the returnees, but Zanet seems to be laughing this time around

"have you not been the cruel pretender that we helped them not even ignore them, especially now want to rob it seems impossible"

His friends just kept quiet and felt it was true. Zanet uses his powers to detect the surroundings and he finds that there are still some animals and plants that can be consumed and used as a backup food supply

While walking down the street they also look for food, and if they meet another team that has fallen they will show the way back by telling the trail they have made before

in the heart Farel felt that this was really beyond his expectations, they were more like an evacuation team than a rival team
