SECOND WORLD.
160. Teka Teki King Azura.

***the Kingdom of Darkness World***

…Carissa Pavilion Room…

After king Azura left from the middle room of the pavilion, Carissa still sat quietly in place. He looked intensely at the Aire Santo Fan on the table right in front of him.

The views of all the knights looked towards Carissa. Without them knowing what Carissa was thinking now?

"Excuse me, are you sure you will join and cooperate with the king of Azura?" Ask Wakiza Orchid staring intensely at the lord.

Carissa did not take her eyes off the fan of Aire Santo. He sighed before answering a question from Wakiza who was still at home in her disguise.

"certain. Even though we still have to be careful of him. We can join him and work with him for now." Reply Carissa without looking towards Wakiza.

"For a while we follow how the groove he made. I have to make sure of something first." His words looked back at Wakiza Orchid while picking up the Aire Santo Fan on the table.

Carissa flicked the fan to open it. They could see a painting of a very beautiful valley scene, and a writing that could not be understood by those who saw it. Carissa knew quite a few forms of writing that she recognized, and a few more writings that she could not know how to read.

"This fan is enough to be a sign of proof that the king of Azura wants to be on our side. But he's smart enough not to tell me how exactly this fan is doing to me?" Carissa said researching the fan intensely.

"The fan is like all the sacred things you have, your majesty." Said Shopie The Sacred Astrologer who was in disguise looking at the fan in Carissa's hand.

"You know what this fan is, Shopie?" Carissa asked him to know what his best friend thought?

"Not all." Her mask.

"Although you have already tied the blood contract to the fan, it cannot be said if you are the master. The fan had a holy soul that had always been loyal to its chosen master. A soul that can only be turned on by the one chosen by the soul of the Aire Santo Fan itself." Shopie Say. All eyes were on him to listen to the explanation regarding the Aire Santo Fan.

"That means, what did Princess Carissa do? Is it just useless?" Damian said come into their conversation.

'What is your real purpose, Azura?' Carissa murmured in her heart.

He also recalled what he had talked about with king Azura.

Flashback…

"At least that fan will help you a little someday, and also bail from me as a sign of proof of our cooperation." King Azura's words looked seriously at Carissa's eyes.

"You don't know what the world is right now." Say again. Sontak made some of those present wonder in their respective minds.

"The world is quite cruel, different and enough to make us surprised by all the kinds in this world. You'll know as time goes by, I hope you can survive in this world until it's over in time." Reveal it.

Carissa knew quite well the intent of the king of Azura. He just put on his flat face with eyes constantly looking at the king of Azura.

'What does that mean? Did he really know of any other world gate that could open with the help of a lock and a magic key?' Carissa murmured in her heart.

'Do I need to ask her my suspicions? No. gabe. No, that's impossible for me to ask. What if he doesn't know at all about the otherworldly gate that I can open using a magic lock and padlock?' Carissa muttered, still staring flatly at the Azura king.

A suspicion was now seethed in his heart, against the intention of joining King Azura together with him. Carissa was still unable to believe fully in the intentions of king Azura. Still need clear proof for that.

Is it possible that the king of Azura knew about the otherworldly gate that Carissa could open using a magic lock and padlock that she could touch and control?

Is it possible that the king of Azura wants to return again to their home world? Like Carissa's initial intention to look for a magical padlock that was somewhere?

There are still a lot of questions that need an answer, and Carissa will go through it all.

"If I could use this fan, surely you should also tell me how to use it?" Tanya Carissa wanted the meeting to end quickly. He was quite tired today and wanted to get some rest.

"You'll know as soon as you use that fan. You're genius enough to be able to read the writing inside the fan. At least the fan is strong enough to protect you from special magic power. That fan will signal me if you're in bad shape, and need help from me. I'll be here as soon as I know you're in danger or you call my name." Evidently. Explanation that Carissa didn't want.

Carissa wanted a clear explanation to know how to use that fan. But he knew the king of Azura did not want to tell him, Carissa knew the king of Azura was stalling.

"alright. I'll try to figure it out myself. Thank you for your good intentions. " Reply Carissa in the end.

"How can it be like that, your majesty?" Wakiza asked who was not satisfied with the answer of king Azura.

All eyes looked towards Wakiza Orchid.

"How can you be dishonest like this, king Azura?" Takiza asked looking seriously towards king Azura. He did not like his lord to be played by the king of Azura.

Yes, Wakiza thought that the king of Azura was just playing Carissa. Giving a sacred object that is not recognized by his lord, nor want to tell how useful it is. That means it's useless for Carissa to get a sacred object that she can't use at all.

"It's too bad you're acting that way towards our king." Protest the king's personal bodyguard standing behind the king of Azura.

"I'm not being dishonest. This is the rule of the heavens. Everything we get is not as easy as we see or have to follow our desires easily. It all takes effort, process and our determination and seriousness to make it ours or to follow what we want." King Azura smiled faintly towards Carissa.

"I know you understand what I mean. You're smart enough and a genius for a little thing like this. I'm sure you can handle it." Reveal king Azura still with his smile.

Carissa just kept quiet and digested everything the king of Azura said.

"You never change. You always use a puzzle for all the problems that must be solved. You like playing secrets, just like you used to." Reply Carissa with a smile that was enough to make everyone dumbfounded and astonished.

Not angry or upset about the actions of king Azura. Carissa actually smiled which added to the aura of her beauty emanated clearly.

King Azura knew the meaning of that smile.

"You never change either. I like you still like you used to be. I like you like this." Reply to the king.

A word of like that only makes misunderstanding. All eyes looked sharply at the king of Azura for his condolences to Carissa.

King Azura knew that he had made the situation a misunderstanding. He breathed before saying anything.

"I love that I admire Carissa's daughter. Is that wrong?" King Azura asked, rising from his seat.

"Princess Carissa Hubert, The Controller. It is fitting to be admired for its beautiful face, and its hidden strength that is unique enough to be exhumed by some who are curious about the power it possesses." King Azura stepped closer to Carissa.

Some of Carissa's army of knights began to act on alert.

"You will be a strong attraction to everyone who knows you." He said with pressure on his every word.

King Azura stood tall before Carissa, he sighed and smiled sincerely at Carissa.

"It looks like tonight's drinking we should be put off, because there's enough nights for us to party. But I'll still take you out for a drink together, when the time is quiet." He said, Carissa is still quite quiet and calm.

"Good night, princess Carissa." He said while bowing his head a little sign of respect to Carissa.

Not forgetting the little mysterious smile with the flirtatious blink of one eye he directed at Carissa. Carissa's army again surprised the king's flirtatious attitude to Carissa.

Without waiting for a reply from Carissa, the king of Azura passed from that place. The purpose of his arrival there was already done, and there was no reason to stay long at the Carissa pavilion. He also knows Carissa needs time to rest in preparation for tomorrow's fight.

Flashback…

All eyes looked at Damian and Carissa in turn.

"It wasn't in vain." Reply Shopie reply.

"As King Azura said. All of these are rules from the sky. Everything we get is not as easy as we see or have to follow our desires easily. It all takes effort, process and our determination and seriousness to make it ours or to follow what we want." Shopie's remark reminded King Azura's words just a moment ago.

All fell silent and went back to digesting what the king of Azura said.

"That's right. Everything is not easy, it takes effort, process, constancy, seriousness of ourselves. Sometimes what do we even want to get? Needs and risks the victim in it." Reply Carissa with a pushy look at the fan she was holding.

Everyone knows what Carissa said. An important object or a power that they want to have and that they now have, is not easy for them to get. There is a lot of struggle and sacrifice in it.

"You are right, your majesty. It's not all that easy. However, we must remain confident that everything we do with determination and the seriousness of intention will be it. We'll definitely achieve it by walking with the passage of time." Reply Wakiza Orchid.

Carissa knew Wakiza Orchid was a fairly intelligent and powerful emperor. His life experiences were many, long and not easy. Enough to make him the person he is now living, strong and wise in acting.

"You better rest up for tomorrow's fight. It's been quite a night, your honor." Wakiza said she understood Carissa's current state needed rest for her quite tired body.

Carissa nodded her head in agreement. Then get up from his seat to enter the room.

Without waiting for orders from Wakiza who became the leader of the Carissa knight army. They knew they had to go back to their rooms. Resting the body to face tomorrow is more important today for all of them. Tomorrow would be a pretty stressful day for them, in witnessing the fight of the three strong women with their respective charismatic auras.
