Princess Seraphina
CHAPTRE 52
Queen Sera found out her daughter had already subconsciously called out to her, so she immediately rose from her grief. Then replied, “My dear daughter. You're awake?”
Seraphina is still not fully conscious. Stammered, he said again, “I-mom, don't blame Aldi for this incident.“
“My daughter, why do you still insist on accepting her feelings?” queen Sera replied worriedly.
Before Seraphina could answer, she fell asleep again. Queen Sera smiled seeing her daughter had improved. The soldiers were ordered to look for fruit. Without asking, they rushed back to the Seraphinova Kingdom. Queen Sera kept Seraphina company while occasionally cleaning sweat using a tissue.
On the other hand, a dark atmosphere adorned the entire place. However, slowly a ray of light began to appear. The longer the light gets closer. When all the darkness became light, Ariel's eyes opened. Out of the coma phase, Ariel tries to see her surroundings. He glanced to the right and to the left, and realized his position was already in his own room. Ariel sees Safy beside her, but there is no sign that Safy is awake.
In her present state, Ariel realized that she had suffered a fatal wound. Previously his body felt like numbness from enduring the intense pain. But now that feeling is gone. Both hands can be moved back, then Ariel tried to get up to sit.
Suddenly, a soldier held her back to do so, “Daughter Ariel, please keep lying down. Said Her Majesty the Queen, you have not fully recovered.“
“Oh, so I have been helped by Queen Sera.“ Ariel murmured in the heart.
He followed the advice of the soldier on guard, and undoed his intention to move more. Ariel saw the soldiers still standing guard in the room, “Wait, they are not the elite soldiers from Seraphinova Kingdom? What happened to Seraphina?“ surprised muttering.
Ariel was worried about the state of Seraphina after the battle earlier. The thing he feared the most was that Queen Sera gave severe punishment to her daughter who did not obey the King's orders. Therefore, Ariel called out to the two soldiers. However, when it came to making a sound, an unexpected thing happened.
“A..a...a.“ says Ariel. He could not even speak normally, as if someone was holding his voice back so it could not be used. The soldiers tried to understand Ariel's words, but it was difficult. Then one of the two soldiers said, “Hey, call Her Majesty the Queen here. Just tell me that Princess Ariel is conscious, while I will take care of the rest.“
After the soldier gave instructions to his comrade, the two moved according to their respective duties. Queen Sera was informed of Ariel's condition, from waking up to her vague speech. Queen Sera responded well, and immediately headed to the next room. Sure enough, Ariel was already conscious from the coma phase.
Queen Sera approached towards the bed, holding Ariel's hand, “How are you, Ariel?“
“B-b..ba..“
“Already, do not be forced,” said Ratu Sera in a soft and soft tone. “Maybe it is still difficult to talk now, but tomorrow surely you will be cured.“
“Yes, I understand. Indeed ever since Seraphina left the kingdom, she had already been monitored remotely. Where might I let a child go alone to a place where the situation is uncertain.“ Then Queen Sera continued, “While you are, Ariel. Don't make your father worry about leaving without saying goodbye. Next time do not repeat again, yes my son?“
Ariel nodded in understanding, and finally Queen Sera gave her sleeping magic. One of the soldiers behind asked, “Request permission to ask, Your Majesty. Why is Safy still unconscious?“
Ratu Sera gave an answer, “Safy was unconscious because he was still in a state of ‘half dead’. In this situation, it is impossible to wake up quickly. It's possible, he could wake up tomorrow morning or the day after.“
The soldier asked again, “Sorry, Your Majesty. Permission to ask again. From the traces of the battle, Safy was only hit by an impact instead of a direct attack. But why is it so bad?“
“Tell you one thing, that wherever the world is magic is deadly. Like fire magic that will burn, water magic that will drown, earth magic that will destroy, and light magic that will obliterate. But it only applies to those who are directly affected, and magic users definitely have a protective response so they will not be too affected if only affected by the impact.“ replied Ratu Sera seriously.
The two soldiers looked at each other, then Queen Sera continued her explanation, “Then if someone without magic or not blessed with magic flow was affected by the magic attack, what happened? The effect was not much different from a direct attack. In Safy's case, he was hit by an explosion of energy from Seraphina's light magic. Supposedly the flow of magic from the victim will be locked, but because Safy does not have magic, the locked is the source of his life.“
“Isn't it more dangerous?“
“One stop. The source of life is the last life of any creature, and if it is locked, surely the creature will slowly die.“
“Can Safy be cured?” said one soldier.
“Can.“ replied Ratu Sera while giving healing magic to Safy. “This girl is no ordinary girl. For 6 months, he was given the most severe exam, and for 2 years also he has experienced the most unpleasant things. If not for her toughness in enduring the pain, surely this girl would have died long ago.“
While they were all unconscious, Seraphina's phone rang loudly. Female soldiers came to approach Queen Sera while carrying the phone. On the screen it says ‘call entered from Arvin’, at that time no one could receive a call because the language of the phone was different. Then the voice of the phone stopped, but again it sounded with the writing on the screen ‘message came in from Arvin’. Queen Sera takes knowledge from Seraphina, so she can figure out how to open the incoming message. A little stiff, Queen Sera tried to see what Arvin had sent.
Knowing the language used was not entirely the same, Ratu Sera took knowledge of the language from all over the city. Now the message from Arvin can be read, it says “Halo, Phina. How are you doing now? I hope it's okay. By the way, you have a day off, don't you? I got two movie tickets for your favorite cartoon cat and mouse. If you want, before next week, just answer this message, okay.“
Ratu Sera is curious about a man named Arvin, “Who else is this. It says his name is Arvin, he must be a man.“
The female bodyguard who gave the phone said, “Does this man named Arvin also have a relationship with the Princess?“
