Chapter 43 - He came for you (1)

...[.Book 2]'s...

"Young master. This waiter is interested in knowing what you're going to do."

The servant asked his master when he was drinking the tea he was serving. Seeing his master was already dressed neatly and looking good after resting without doing anything for four days.

Valias somewhat condemned the wasted time but then chose to accept it. In addition, he had enough time to draw up a line of plans for what he wanted to prepare for the inter-kingdom battle in the next nine months.

Should've. But the young man wanted to first take the Hayden children who had already been sent to Solossa. Valias will take them back.

He's going to take some people to Solossa. He will watch from the sidelines. "You can come along."

Alister in his place smiled. Satisfied with that word.

Is correct. From this moment on, whatever the young master planned, Alister had to witness it with his own two eyes.

Valias asks Alister to call Mareen. Bring them both to the palace. More precisely Frey's room.

"Solossa? You want to go there?" The future king Hayden asked.

"Yes. I'll take Miss Vetra to join."

Frey sneering. "What do you think you want to do? Picnic visit? You're talking like you're taking the mage to visit a historical monument."

Valias did not respond. Frey breathed. "alright. I'll follow your will." he said. "Is there anything else you need?"

Valias. Then think that this is another good opportunity to unite the figures who will have a role in fighting for Hayden. Valias was thinking of bringing in a man named Javas. Commander of Hayden's palace. "You can call Commander Javas, your highness."

"Javas? That commander my father appointed?" Frey raised his eyebrows. "I didn't think you had any closeness to her."

Valias mutters. There's something he's planning.

"As far as you." Frey surrendered. "What else?"

"Key. I'll take her too." Valias looked towards Frey.

"......Kei?"

Frey then woke up. Valias, want to continue his action to save Hayden's children. So the young man will take his brother too?

Frey was silent before clearing his throat. "Do you know how to call him?"

This time Valias was silent.

Is correct. If he wanted to call Kei then he would have to meet the man first.

Frey looked at Valias who was standing side by side with Alister from his stool. Sighs. "How are you going to see him? Asking the Vetra to send you? Then how are you going to get there? Alone?"

Valias returned Frey's gaze before nodding. "Yes. Alone."

"I don't think I'll let that happen, young master."

Valias turned to look at Alister who was bowing to him. Giving her fake smile. "From now on this old servant will always accompany young master Valias wherever he goes. I don't accept objections."

Valias.

I didn't expect this old man to say that.

Frey on his bench watched the action staring at each other in front of him. Nodding to himself. "Your servant is right. You should always have someone next to you. I feel like if I didn't then I would only have an anxiety disorder every time you walked out of your house."

Looking at Valias Frey doesn't want anything to happen to the teenager. He's seen Valias bleed. He saw what the man was doing to help him. Frey can't help but worry.

To Frey, Valias is his sister. Her sister needs special attention.

He suddenly remembered something. "Ah, right." He's vocal. "The flowers in your territory, I've taken care of them."

Valias. Just remembered about that. "How do you take care of it?"

"I haven't looked around because I've got a lot of business on my desk. But the two mages said that the flower was not a flower that should be in Reiss, and also other land they knew. The flowers are suspicious. They took the safe way by taking all the flowers. Keep it in the palace's barren room. The flowers are safe. Nobody's gonna touch him, if that's what you're worried about."

Uh.

Valias lost the ability to speak.

Those flowers, are a gift of Pralta. Even though he did things that he was not supposed to do, Valias was sure that the female elf had good intentions.

To take the flowers without the elf's knowledge, Valias felt bad.

But something's already happened. There's nothing to do. Valias would only apologize to the female elf. "The flowers are the ones you saw four days ago, your majesty."

Frey raised his eyebrows. "Four days ago?"

He then remembered. His eyes widened and his mouth opened.

"That flower?!!"

Valias nodded. Frey immediately understood why the man in front of him had reacted like that. Frey had no idea what purpose the elves were for planting the flower they said was the secret flower in the Bardev region. But looking at what the magic flowers were made of, he knew they were not meant to be bad.

"Shall I ask them to return the flowers?"

Valias. Boost.

If the flowers were indeed supposed to be kept secret, then it was better that they were kept in the palace as it had already been done.

Frey looked at Valias' trousers and nodded. It was certain that the young man had already made his consideration.

Tok.

"Miss Vetra is coming, your majesty."

"Let him in."

Vetra came in with his stick. Making a bow of respect towards Frey.

Impatience came from the woman's face.

"Miss." Valias gave a greeting.

Vetra already knows. The presence of the young noble's son in the palace and the summoning of himself before the crown prince with the noble's son meant only one thing.

There's gonna be something he's gonna have to do. And that's something he'll definitely like.

"Miss Vetra."

"Yes, your honor."

"You will work under young master Valias. Do whatever he asks."

"I understand." Vetra answered with all his heart. Raising his face met the sight of the noble son and instantly returned the young man's smile with his warm smile.

"Now what are you going to do? Meet brother?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Valias would just say to Vetra to take him somewhere. When the light of the magic circle that was activated appeared attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

That's Kei. Alone he stood on top of the magic circle whose light gradually dimmed.

Her clothes were still the same as before. His leather-coated sword that began to trickle hung on his waist belt which was also made of leather which was also the same to wipe him.

The tall young man stood with his flat face. Replying to the gaze of Valias who had a gawking face.

"You," Valias is speechless.

Kei turned towards Vetra. Makes the woman aghast.

Frey was too shocked that he unconsciously stood up from his stool.

Kei then turned his head back. This time towards the person who was on the back side of Valias.

Sharing gazes with the old man until the two engaged in an eye war with no one intending to lose to the others.

Valias. "Key. You, how are you here?"

The flat-faced man ignored his defeat of Alister and turned his attention to Valias.

"You're gonna take those kids."

Valias. Then nod.

But how does he know?

Valias wondered about it.

"Take me there."

"Yes?" Valias was astonished in his place. But then got Kei's point.

"alright. We're going together. But before that we wait for a few people first."

"no need. I can take care of them myself."

Everyone looked at Kei the tall black-haired figure and had the weapon.

He meant that he could overcome those who would fight them alone?

"Gt."

This time everyone's attention was distracted by the other figure in the room with them. The figure with red hair. He laughed alone in his place.

"Yes, yes it is. You can take care of them alone."

That's Kei. The main character in the story he read. The sole survivor of the war due to the inter-royal fight that lasted for one month but reached its peak in the last week.

Kei the young man was stronger than all the others. The young man who could fight against tens to hundreds of people alone with his cold blood and sword was sharper than any blade in the world

"But we still have things we have to do first" Valias said. Looking towards Frey who had gasped even though then started to sigh.

"This is what makes me unhappy."

...***...

"The kids don't squint."

"You're like you've only seen them for the first time."

"Why would Hayden sell their children?"

"Who knows? Why do you have to be curious anyway? Isn't this good? We don't have to work. And it's not our children who work either. But those kids. Who would do anything just to get food."

"really. They are not children of our kingdom. There is no need for us to be compassionate."

"Those children no longer have the dignity of being human. They're like farm animals."

"The choice of your words is cruel. But I think you're right."

"Excuse me."

The two people who had previously conversed in their seats turned towards the figure who had just voiced out.

It was the figure of a person wearing a robe. Beside him stood an old servant who had a smile that made the two people shudder. Then there's another cloak user. And the latter was a tall male figure with black hair and eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly by the anger of hatred. The two people could feel a murderous gaze from his pair of dark-colored eyes. Looking at them full of condescending eyes. It was as if the two of them that were under his eyes were just a lump of dirt that was not worth living in the world.

The figure that had previously made a sound took out his hand from under the robe. Slowly opened the hood that covered her black hair with both of her hands.

"Please take us to the place where the children you just talked about" the figure said with a friendly smile.
