After several days of travel, the Erosphire troops finally reached their headquarters in the north.
All preparations have now been made, and the troops have taken their respective positions based on the strategy that has been created.
Before leaving and leading the troops to break through the Nephorine's main defenses, Arlen took the time to chat with Cassandra for a moment about everything.
"Be careful, you must convince the prince" the blue-sliced man recalled.
"I knew. I'm not going to mess up our plans" Cassandra replied, covering her head with a hood.
"You don't have to do this. Because we can also win without trapping the prince." Again, Arlen tries to get her lover to think carefully about all this.
"If we only rely on victory in this war, what can convince you that prince Yari will not do the same in the future?" cassandra's light made the blond-blonde man speechless.
"We have to completely defeat him to the very end. You also know about the mysterious figure who is secretly always close to Prince Yari as said by Prince Darren, right?" the girl asked.
"Yes. And you think that it's the figure that's been trying to read your whole move all along," Arlen said, making Cassandra nod.
"You're right. If we trap prince Yari one last time, then it's possible that we can figure out the real mastermind of all this."
Cassandra explained making Arlen nod. Before long, the girl clutched the burly body of her lover while dismissing all bad thoughts that approached her.
"Please promise.you will live," the girl shrieked with furrowed brows.
"of course. I'll stay with you" replied Arlen as he pressed his hand against the girl's slender body.
His lips now landed on the head of the girl, and not infrequently the man inhaled the soothing aroma of his lover.
"Just calm down, if I'm done with my task, I'll help you right away" Cassandra looked up at her face.
"Hey. Fighting has become a part of my life, so you don't have to worry about it" Arlen replied pinning the girl's nose with her faint, sweet smile.
Even so, Cassandra still could not calm down. Either the number of times Arlen said to calm himself, but the girl was unceasingly worried about the condition of her lover when entering the field of battle.
Although it sounds excessive, but that is the reality. Who wouldn't worry if their loved one had to face the dangers that had come before their eyes?
"My Lord, it's time" said a soldier from outside the tent.
The pair of lovers also took off their deep hook. For a long time they looked at each other, until finally the man brought his face closer to the property of his lover to present a kiss on the forehead.
"Just be yourself."
Cassandra nodded, then went through another path from inside the tent. Arlen just stared at the girl's departure, then immediately prepared himself and headed into the battlefield that had become his true friend.

"Yesterday, there was a man who visited me. He said that he wanted to work with me to destroy your kingdom" Prince Naelson said, feeding himself a fresh purple wine.
Prince Yari swooped an eyebrow, is there anyone other than himself who wants to destroy the Erosphire kingdom?
"Whatchu mean? Who?" ask prince Yari.
"Of course, even though he wears a hood that covers his face, I can see the color of his hair and his eyes. Her eyes are blue and her hair is blonde." Prince Naelson described while remembering.
Prince Yari was a little surprised. Blonde hair and blue eyes? All along, the noble who possessed those traits had only been Duke Floniouse.
Is it true that Prince Naelson said? Did that Duke secretly betray as well? Or is it just a bluff?
"What did he tell you? Did he tell you a plan?" ask prince Yari.
"She just said that she was actually one of the people who had a gift" replied Prince Naelson.
"Grace?"
"Yes. Kind of like people who have magical powers. Of course I don't believe it" said Prince Naelson.
"Does he have any strange features, such as black blood?" the sight of prince Yari began to be on alert.
Because as far as he could see, Duke Floniouse was on his younger brother's side, Prince Darren. It must have been strange if the man suddenly wanted to cooperate with the Nephorine kingdom to destroy the Erosphire kingdom.
"Looks not. Because when I raised my knife as a watchful attack on the enemy, the blood flowing from his hands was red. He was trying to hide it, but I can still see."
Prince Yari thought. If indeed Duke Floniouse was trying to hide that, it was certain that the blonde-haired man was lying that he was a witch.
Means already ascertained, Duke Floniouse was merely bluffing under the orders of prince Darren.
"Then, Prince. Is it time we kidnap the Countess you're talking about?" Prince Naelson grinned.
Prince Yari then looked out the window and looked at the vast sky. The sun is in the north, which is exactly the right time.
"Yes. That way, the rain of arrows planned by the Countess would not be launched. And Duke Floniouse and his army will die at the hands of 100,000 of your soldiers in the main defense."
"Then what about your sister? Are you gonna let it go? Because anyway, he's still your rival" said Prince Naelson.
"My partner is on his way to kill him" replied prince Yari lightly.
Now that Prince Yari had joined in with a horrible smile, the man thought that everything would go as he had planned it to do.
And the kingdom of Erosphire will be his. But he did not know, it turns out he was on his way to destruction armed with the light of his own evil intentions.
...~•~...
The sound of swords clashing, the noise of brutally torn skin, and the sound of death squealing in the eardrum. Anastasia could only see it all from a distance.
Right now, as the girl wanted, she was in front of the entire archer who was about to shoot a rain of arrows.
Even though it was just a hoax, and the task here was to wait whether or not she would be kidnapped.
If he is kidnapped and held captive by the enemy, then he can only hope and wait that his lover will save him as he said. If not, then he should be much grateful to the sky goddess.
He could see Arlen from above the plateau that he was on, because the plateau was not too far from the main defense of the Nephorine kingdom.
The sky blue sliced man was now covered in blood, and did not forget the look of his pain when the enemy's sword slashed and pierced the skin to the flesh of his body.
Anastasia only hopes that her lover and her two best friends can achieve their goals by trying their best and being careful.
"Countesses. The enemy is getting more and more, should we launch our arrows now?" ask an archer behind Anastasia.
The girl clenched a dangling white hood that covered her head and all strands of her hair. Actually, he has been wearing fake hair that has a shape similar to Cassandra's brown strands, but still he was worried. Not to forget, Anastasia slightly pulled her hood to cover half her face.
Anastasia simply raised her hand into the air signifying that it was not yet time to launch the arrow. Because if she let out her voice, they would definitely be suspicious, because her voice with Cassandra was so much different.
Until shortly after, the golden-blossomed girl was a little stunned when a hand slapped her shoulder softly.
Anastasia nodded in understanding as she lowered her head to hide her face, and finally followed where the archer had taken her away.
Far enough they walked, until finally the archer stopped and then Anastasia stopped too. This place is pretty quiet, and dark.
In a few seconds, there was a hand with a cloth that was holding his mouth and nose.
Anastasia was surprised, and gradually, the girl closed both of her eyelids. It turns out that what Cassandra said was right, the enemy wanted to kidnap the girl.
The bright green girl can only hope, may her lover and best friend survive.
"Darrenes... Cassandra... Arlen.... I hope you're okay."

Meanwhile....
Inside the room, Prince Yari was relaxing while waiting for his role time to arrive. The man smiled slantingly, imagining that the throne would soon be his.
Prince Naelson has been away since then to approach the victim they kidnapped, the Countess la Devoline.
His other two companions, meanwhile, were on their way to kill his first brother, Prince Darren. The man who will fight for power with him.
Since childhood, prince Yari has always received ridicule that he is only a lowly prince, the son of a despicable concubine.
Many people had underestimated the crown prince simply because he was a child born from the womb of a worthless concubine.
Even many people are mocking that the son of a concubine is not worthy to lead his country.
Therefore, prince Yari desperately wanted power and strength. So that no one else would dare to humiliate him and humiliate him. He will avenge the deeds of those disgusting people.
When drowning in daydreams, suddenly there was a knock from the door of his room.
"Your Majesty, there's someone who wants to see you." The knight outside the room the black-haired man made a sound.
Prince Yari turned his head. A guest? Who would want to visit him at a time like this? Is it possible that it was his two partners?
But for what? Aren't they on their way to kill his sister?
Initially, prince Yari thought that it was either his partner or prince Naelson. But who would have thought, it turns out that what appeared was not one of the suspects.
"Who are you?" asked Prince Yari without making small talk.
The cloaked figure that covered his entire hair and half face was smiling. "I'm a nobody, just someone who wants to help you" he replied.
"helpful? About what?"
"About your plan to pretend to be Erosphire's hero by destroying the kingdom in the beginning" the figure jolted Prince Yari.
Who is this stranger? How did he know everything about his plan?
"Then about your cooperation with prince Naelson. The mining results of the Erosphire kingdom as a bet," added the figure.
"What do you want?" prince Yari gritted his teeth. Even his jaw bone was sculpted clearly due to the emotions that were starting to flare up.
Even this figure knew very details about all of his plans.
The cloaked figure was laughing. "Haha! Didn't I tell you, I want to help you?"
Prince Yari could only endure the anger of not being stupid. "What can you do?"
The figure smiled obliquely. "I just want to be your follower. I want power, and to live prosperously" the figure growled.
The black-robed man with the title of prince frowned in confusion. Even though his current condition was greatly benefited, it remained that the figure was suspicious.
But if he did not follow the will of the figure, the figure could have dismantled his entire plan and informed him throughout the land of Erosphire.
There seems to be no other way. The important thing is that he should be careful.
"alright. I hope you can keep your word," prince Yari said in closing.
"It's great to work with you." The figure turned his back to Prince Yari and stepped out.
At that very instant, prince Yari threw a dagger at the figure towards his stomach. However, the figure quickly dodged and as a result his arm was affected by the incision.
The cloaked figure instantly closed the wound on his right arm with his left palm. Not to forget, with a squeak on the eyebrows that indicates that the figure is in pain.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?" The figure growled in an annoyed tone while looking at the nyalang prince Yari.
"none. I just want to test your ability to become my subordinate," replied Prince Yari casually.
"Alright, it looks like you've got the answer." The figure hissed then opened the door and slammed it hard.
Prince Yari then immediately moved to follow and watch over the figure. In silence, the black-haired man followed the movement of the figure earlier.
When Prince Yari was hiding, he could see the cloaked figure had stopped for a moment observing the surroundings.
In an instant, the figure immediately ran as fast as possible. Then, prince Yari did not want to lose track of him and immediately followed him.
Until after quite far from their headquarters, can prince Yari see the cloaked figure standing with a slightly slanted position to the right.
In an instant, prince Yari was shocked when he saw that there was a thick black liquid on the area of the wound he had created on the arm of the figure earlier.
And as prince Yari continued to observe the movement of the figure, the cloaked figure was instantly surrounded by an extremely thick fog of smoke.
It did not take long, suddenly the figure immediately disappeared like it fused with the smoke.
As he turned his brain around, prince Yari finally realized something.
In the rumors that circulated, the witch had blood that was black, and could teleport.
Previously, Prince Yari had seen the hair color of the figure and his face at a glance. But he knew immediately, that the figure was Countess la Devoline.
"It turns out she's a real witch. That's the reason why he knows all my plans!" inner prince Yari.
"This all makes sense. He wanted me to believe that he was on my side, so that he could help Darren and destroy me!"
The prince then smiled slantedly. "Basic stupid! She thinks I'm that stupid not realizing that she's a real witch? He even made Duke Floniouse seem like a real witch."
"You think it's that easy to beat me Countess? It won't. Because here, I'm the one controlling everything! You all can't beat me!"
The prince then grinned with his evil face, and before long it chuckled with great force.
Unfortunately. The prince did not know that he was a rat who had entered a deadly trap that was ready to pin him down until he was destroyed.
Ironically.
