It did not feel like forty days had passed, and on the morning of the forty-first day, Leino was seen in a small room standing in front of a man.
“Your Majesty, forty days of universal mourning for the passing of Her Majesty Consort Keira, is done,”.
The man, Higarashi, who was staring out the window next to the room, with a sad face, then replied, “The palace will be reopened, as usual. I will also receive cosmic letters and guests from other planets.”
“Good, Your Majesty.I will carry it out soon,” Leino replied, but suddenly, Higarashi turned his head and looked at him with a serious face, then said, “I will go to Planet Earth, and then I will go to Earth, Leinos. You'll take care of the palace for a while.
“Alright, Your Majesty,” replied Leino while bowing her head for a while, then looking straight back at the King.
Higarashi then walked out, heading towards the palace's backyard. Once there, he transformed himself into a small red star and shot into space. After penetrating the atmosphere of Planet Earth, he landed in front of Keira's house.
That morning seemed lonely. Higarashi then raised his right hand. The red Star Baton suddenly appeared and he immediately grasped the object, then swung it forward. A magic door suddenly appeared, after which, Star Baton had disappeared.
“That beach,” murmured.
He opened the door and went inside, then closed the door again. After the door disappeared, Higarashi was now on a beach, which he had visited with Keira. He then sat on the white sand while looking around him, with a sad face.
No one was there, apparently because it was still very early. He then looked at the sea before him blankly, not even a hint of his two eyelids flashing.
"Losing a wife you've been waiting for for so many years isn't easy, Higarashi. I completely understand that," said a black-haired woman, who suddenly appeared and sat beside him.
However, Higarashi's face did not seem surprised at all. He only turned his head to the side for a moment to look at the woman, then looked back at the vast sea before him.
"Why are you here, Viora? Isn't Silverian's Planet back to how it was?" asked Higarashi, with a flat face without expression.
With a small smile on her face, the woman who appeared to be Viora replied, "Yes, I am very happy to finally be free of her. Aerim even releases the prisoners of the Silverian Planet and offers them to become residents of the planet or not. However, Higarashi, both of my parents have long since died and I am now alone. My home planet wouldn't be willing to accept me if they knew that I was ever close to Aerim and his dark energy."
Higarashi was silent, not replying to anything.
Viora then continued, "I really understand what it's like to lose our loved one, Higarashi. But you can't keep doing this. There is a planet that needs you as its leader. You have to get stronger, baby.”
Higarashi's face suddenly turned serious, then he replied, "If Planet Halida needs a leader, then I could just ask Leino to become Prime Minister, he said, as did Her late Majesty Queen Anexta of Palladina to Senior General Xyon. I don't think I'd ever be king if I didn't have an empress like Keira …."
"Higarashi, I'm sure Keira doesn't want you to be sad for too long. What if we go inside my restaurant and have tea together? Eliminate sadness. Remember that you are a king, and Planet Halida needs you more than a queen,” replied Viora, then she stood up while looking at the King of Halida with a cheerful face.
Viora simply smiled without answering. He then took Higarashi and took her running to a restaurant that was the only beach. After arriving in front of the restaurant, Viora then opened the door in a hurry. He and Higarashi then went inside and walked to one of the dining tables and sat on their chairs facing each other.
“Ah, wait here, I will make you a warm drink,” said Viora.
He then ran to the kitchen and made a warm tea which he poured into two cups, in a hurry, after that, he brought two cups of the warm tea and walked up to Higarashi, and placed them on the table.
“Drink,” he said, then he sat on a chair opposite the young man.
The two of them were now staring at each other, however, the atmosphere was strange to Viora, as Higarashi's face suddenly turned serious.
"What's up, Higarashi? Do you need anything?" viora asked with a smile on her face.
"Do you want to be my queen?" asked Higarashi with a flat face.
Viora was silent. His smile disappeared and both his eyes bulged, as if not believing what he had just heard. He looked at Higarashi with a face that looked puzzled, sighing once.
It seemed like Higarashi realized something after seeing Viora's attitude.
"I don't have any feelings for you, but the government has to keep going. The duty of an empress is only to become a symbol of the kingdom. He is also the highest butler. Without him, the servants would have little trouble doing the work, and there would be no one controlling the inner palace" Higarashi said as he grabbed his teacup, then drank the contents to the ground.
Viora tried to stay calm even though she was surprised.
He then let out a long sigh, then smiled slightly and asked, "However .. Prime Minister Xyon was able to do all without a woman beside him. Can't you be like that, Higarashi?"
"The duties of Prime Minister Xyon were severely limited because of the posts he held now, far below the king and empress. The servants there were arranged by his senior generals, Nordian, Arex, and Weim," Higarashi replied with a frown.
Viora let out a small laugh, then she said, "There is no way I will become your empress in place of Her Highness Keira from Halida. I'm not interested, even if you offer me one more time that position, I'll answer no. Being the queen of a big planet, it's not easy, baby. I never even entered the palace where kings and empresses worked. Your late wife also recently passed away, Higarashi.”
Higarashi then looked at Viora with a serious face, then asked, "Didn't all women really want to be my empress? Why don't you want that job? They used to always snatch that position, including Chexy.”
Viora simply gulped her saliva while looking at Higarashi with a visibly riled up face.
