~ The Second Knight Zere.

VARIELLA

Since Aleta's return a few days ago, I don't know when she will return to the capital. Debuted, and left me again.

I walked down a small path to the forest behind the school, classes were still going to start in about thirty minutes. Think back to what happened last night.

I saw clearly his silhouette under the expanse of moonlight that was precisely falling towards my room. He was so handsome many times more than usual. Long brown hair with an elegant cold gaze. The right sharp Hazel swept through the depths of my heart.

I felt a great thump at that moment, at our closest point last night. Every word he spoke without emphasis. I could even feel her heavy, irregular breath tickling my face. I keep pensive. Her words,

" I have made a promise, and I, Mate of the Princess Afraculania, will fulfill all that I have mentioned before the Lord,"

" Please don't go near other men, I'll wait for you, keep waiting for you to remember everything,"

What promise have you made before? In front of God... And what does that have to do with me, as well as Princess Afraculania?...

I never felt like I had forgotten anything before, but why did your presence change everything? Like an intruder, but keep asking to be admitted. Reluctant, but on the other hand, I want it too.

" Kreeek.." I looked up, crossed my two hands above my head.

" Be careful!!"

" Shuush..." I was stunned, the twigs were wrapped in a clean blue light, as if holding it back from hitting my head.

I looked curiously at Zere, he threw his hand out, right with the twigs that were also bouncing off the ground. He approached me. The top of my head is soft.

" Heart-heart~"

" So, did you do it?" I cut her words out of curiosity. This is already the second. I don't want to be played like this. To be a fool who knows nothing, among them all, that I cannot guess.

" I'll say it, but, can we sit down? It's not nice to have to talk standing up" he said with a smile as usual.

We sat next to each other under a tree on a green patch of forest grass.

" Nhukkk Ngau..." I looked in all directions, looking for the source of the strange sound. I'm sure I didn't hear it wrong, even though it was very slow.

" What are you looking for?" Ask, but I still enjoy my work.

" Elena, you," Zere said to make me turn, something came running over, he stroked the top of the head of something he called "Elena.

" Ngukkk, ngau ngauuu," he growled, oohhh... Turns out.

" A cute puppy" I commented, has long fur in clean white, beautiful eyes and a cute face.

The puppy approached me, rubbing his head at my feet.

" He's not Var's puppy, he's a little wolf" he explained.

" Your joke is so funny Zere," I deny, there's no way this sweet animal is a wolf, right?

" I'm not kidding, there's no dog that can't bark" he said.

" He's not ferocious, so don't worry," Zere added.

" I kept him since childhood, he insisted on coming with me here, unfortunately in the dormitory is not allowed to bring pets. So he lives in this forest."

" Is that not papa?" Ask me.

" Yes, he can take good care of himself" Zere replied with great confidence.

" You, um, who are you?" Ask me. The incident earlier, also a while ago, went straight into my head.

" I am your friend" replied Zere, was he never taught to be serious?

" Zere's... Please.." I muttered, he knew, that wasn't the answer I wanted.

" I'm the one you can count on, I'm your confidant, do you remember?" Her speech. Again, again,

" What's wrong with my memory? I even feel like I never forgot something. I've never had an accident that made my head lose nerve function, or a brain gag, nor amnesia..." Answer me angrily when everyone asks me about memory.

" us? What exactly is going on?" Ask me more and more curious.

" My name is Zere Aradika, the second son of Lord Titartora. The Second Knight of Shoecha. I was born with a special emblem of the Legendary Mermaid Clan from the Water God lord Poseidon."

" Special emblem of the Mermaid Clan? The god of the Water Poseidon?" I still don't understand.

" Yes, that special emblem represents the identity and destiny I have obtained, as well as the other six Knights, they are the core forces of Shoecha who are set to maintain the balance of relations between the worlds, you did it,"

" me? Who did? Meanin? Then who's the other six?" Ask me again. I remember what I saw that day. A terrible battle that ended miserably. There were seven winged creatures that I originally thought were flocks of birds. Seven handsome creatures who are respected and disinclined, people who somehow feel very close.

Knight... So that's them? I remembered.

" Anasita Amber Albaroza, the second daughter of Lord Afraculania, The Last Knight of Shoecha, supposedly, she is your twin sister," I fell silent for a moment,

" Twin brother?"

" Yes, but I also don't understand, our memories are actually just as sealed since the wars of thousands of years ago in Kamland,"

" What? Ber, thousands of years? Is that your age?" Ask me not to believe.

" Yes, and no, my age is even more than what any ordinary human can imagine. We will always keep our strength from being drained away before being able to pass down the Legendary power to our descendants, and during that time, no one has been married between us yet, because you gave us a high-level drug. Heart Seal, it will make us unable to feel love," I shut my mouth.

" I, why did I do it?" Ask me a curious. I can't feel love. That's not fair to them.

" Because if there's a seal, we won't die before we have a descendant, you gave it in the middle of the battle when we were all wounded, so with that our souls can still survive even now with the repeated path of reincarnation,"

" Then how? Are you guys gonna keep it that way?" Ask me again.

" No, you'll let us go later, I believe in you" Zere replied.

" You're saying your memories are sealed, and then, how come you can talk like this?"

" Our memories will recover on their own when Shoecha's soul in the Light Princess begins to appear, but the suggestion and belief are also quite influential.

While our power will only be completely intact, when Shoecha's blood has really risen, then destroyed the Heart Seal of each of us" he continued. I don't know what else to comment. I don't fully understand.

" Later, Master Arguza, he is our Leader, The First Knight of Shoecha,"

" Wait, is she white-haired and also has a silvery iris?" Asking me a reflex, a flash of that incident instantly reappeared. The face of the wise leader.

" Yes, and she is now, is Aleta Souju," I covered my mouth with a palm, in disbelief.

" sister?"

" Yes, he was the first Knight. The rest I haven't met, but soon."

" Huh, there are still a lot of people who are not ordinary people around you. Again, be careful... Alberta, and your friend, that Falisya,"

" No way, Brother Al, Falisya?..."

" That's true, but I don't know yet, where they came from, and what purpose they came here for,

" And, for the time being, I haven't been able to call you Queen, I'm sorry,"

" Not papa,"

" And you, you are our lord, the first daughter of the Lord of Afraculania. The Queen of Shoecha, the Princess of Light who has power over the world. Many want to take it from you in various ways, including marriage, or murder."

" That's, awful" I commented.

" I don't want to talk much, because it's too complicated. Everything will be clear as time passes.

Be careful, many new people will come around you, good and bad will not be seen only by the eyes,"

" Is that what it is?" I'm scared, yes. If that's all true, then I'm just like their betting object.

" Yes... The variety I know is not the cowardly and easy-to-give Variella. Moreover, my Queen, is not a weakling, and it is easy not a creature of fate."

" Zere, I~"

" We will always protect Queen, alive, or dead. Our lives are in loyalty to you" he smiled.
