A beautiful face wrapped behind a black veil with a sharp eye gaze, making anyone who looked on would be captivated by its charm.
"Son this must be so beautiful." Inner Chrysanthemum
Feeling himself being stared at by someone, the robed woman turned to look at him.
"Cryption... Chrysanthemum.. hey.." said Lili while shaking the Chrysanthemum body.
The chrysanthemum was also awakened from his daydream.
"You're daydreaming, huh?"
"No. Just remembering the memories of the past."
"..."
"Oh yes Lili, it's time for me to leave" said Chrysanthemum as he stood up and walked towards the door. Lili.
"Cock in a hurry anyway? There's a lot I want to ask you."
"On the Forest of Death?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Next week when we take the exam, you'll see for yourself. Now we'd better take a break, okay."
"alright. You are also."
"OKAY. I'm sorry, dadahh!"
"Dad."
Lily closed the door. He also breathed.
"Death Forest? What is that place?!"
Lili walked up to the window and closed it. From behind the window, he saw that the sky was getting dark. The stars and moon began to appear.
"It's dark, I'll rest early." Lili said as she closed the window curtain of her room.
Lili did not realize that she was being watched by a black-robed person hiding behind a tree branch that was beside her room. Seeing Lili lower her window curtain, the person disappeared like a shadow.
BLOODY CASTLE'S
Evil read a piece of paper brought by Buto. He threw the paper on his desk. He also moved from his magnificent red chair, with abstract carvings on his side in gold.
"So this is the result of your investigation?!"
"Yes Your Majesty."
"How dare they not tell me this!"
"Then, what should we do, Your Majesty?"
"You still dare to ask what should we do?! Of course go to school to reminisce!" snarled Evil
"Okay, Your Majesty."
"Go and prepare everything. We leave tonight!"
"Okay, Your Majesty!"
All the elite troops selected are ready. They waited for their King to come out and give him orders. This elite force was no ordinary army. They were made up of ten people and they were the troops chosen by the King. Not only are they good at martial arts, they are also very good at using their magic. Even their clothes were very different from the clothes Blackie, Darkie and Buto wore. They wore navy-colored robes with abstract patterns behind them. The king came out of the palace in a golden red robe. The robe looks luxurious yet elegant. That said, the robe was made by the Demon Queen, the Demon King's empress with her own hands during the Demon King's coronation ceremony two hundred years ago. Buto who was leading the troops immediately advanced forward while bowing in salute.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"good. Buto, you stay on your duty. While Darkie!"
"Yes, Your Highness servant is here." replied Darkie.
"You lead the army to go to Zwart School, while Buto keeps an eye on Miss Lili."
"Hamba understands" Darkie and Buto said simultaneously.
"Let's go to Zwart School!" the Evil King's
"Okay, Your Majesty!" all the troops answered simultaneously.
All the King's armies set out with flying horses. Buto who was still outside the palace looked at those who were flying quickly.
"You're not coming with them, Blackie?!" buto asked Blackie who appeared from behind his back.
"No. The king ordered me to guard the palace."
"You are loyal to the King."
"No. You're wrong."
"..."
"Why did you choose to be by the King's side, if you were unfaithful?!"
Buto's question made Blackie recall his past memories. The memories crossed his mind. The moment he saw the figure of the Queen leaving him without looking at him. He also breathed.
"It's none of your business." Blackie replied as he turned around and disappeared.
"Humph, you muna!" muto and himself disappeared like a shadow.
...***...
In front of the Zwart School's schoolyard, there rang thousands of horse steps and stopped. All the troops descended from the backs of their flying horses. The burly white horse with its beautiful wings landed and walked slowly. On the horse's back, descend the Evil King. His robe fluttered in the wind. His face was as white as jade with natural pink colored lips. The gaze of his cold eyes was as cold as snow, able to make his opponent's guts shrink. Evil looked around the quiet school grounds no student activity passed by at night. Next to the school there is a student dormitory and looks lonely. All the lights in some of the dorm rooms were off except for a few slightly lit ones. And it only illuminates some of the areas around the dormitory, just like in school. Only the lights are slightly illuminated around the school area. Because he found no signs of life either in school or in the dorms, he raised his right hand as if beckoning one of his troops to prepare to shoot one of the arrows he carried on his back. The body cue was understood by one of his troops and he prepared to take his arrow. The arrow was then taped near the bow thread and ready to be fired.
"Foot!"
One of the troops who prepared to shoot the arrow directly into the sky and heard the sound of arrows darting rapidly in the air and turned into red fireworks accompanied by a loud explosive sound. The dark sky that was only decorated with the moon and stars became lively because of the darting arrows and turned into very beautiful fireworks. Some people may think it's like a normal firework, but it's actually a signal. Because the sound of the explosion was so loud, it resulted in several teachers including the headmaster, Mr. Leaf waking up from his sleep. Although the sound of the explosion was very loud, it could only be heard by those who had magic power above the level. Even the entire student in the dormitory was still fast asleep except, one of the awakened disciples heard the sound of the explosion. That student is Lili. He woke up from his sleep because of the sound of a loud explosion. He got out of his bed and walked to the window where the sound of the explosion came from outside the window. Lili while sleeping turned off all her bedroom lights except for the always-on bathroom lights and the sleeping lights on next to her mattress that were left on all night.
" What is that noise?" lili said as she opened the window of her room. He saw the familiar figure standing at the front with his luxurious yet elegant robe. He rubbed his eyes and peeked back a little from the window. Unmistakably, that figure was Evil, the Demon King.
"That's Evil. Why is he here these nights? No, it looks like something is important. But why is he standing outside the school?!"
Suddenly, Lili's eyes turned as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. He saw the headmaster of the Zwart School, Mr. Leaf coming out from a different direction and followed several other teachers from behind. That direction is the direction to the school manager's dormitory. Yes, in addition to the student dormitory, which is right next to the school, there is a boarder dormitory that is in this school. It's just that if the student dormitory is next to the school, the school boarder's dormitory is behind the school close to the school park.
"Isn't that Mr. Leaf, the principal here? Did he wake up because of the loud explosion? But where did the explosion come from?"
Lili also observed the army brought by Evil which only numbered 30 people. He observed one by one the troops. The clothes and robes they wore were very different from the ones Darkie wore. However, the robes and clothes they wear despite being different still seem luxurious and elegant. But if you compare it to the Devil King's, it's not as luxurious and elegant as the King's. Of course the King should look luxurious, majestic and elegant. He saw one of the troops that drew his heart. The troops carried arrows and bows behind his back. The arrow on his back gave off a red glow.
"Don't it be an arrow that could make such a loud explosion." Lili's inner.
His eyes turned to Evil. This man who was nicknamed as the Demon King, wanted to be seen from any side, he was still handsome and dashing. He saw that Mr. Leaf walked up to Evil and greeted him while bowing to him.
"Good night, Your Majesty. Sorry if I asked. What's the matter with Your Highness coming to this school all night?"
"Why didn't you tell me that this school is going to have an exam for all the students this year?!"
"Sorry Your Majesty, it is not our intention to not inform His Majesty of this matter. It's just that we're busy preparing for the exams for the students. Of course we will tell this to His Majesty."
"Then why should his testing place be in the Deathly Forest?! Can you explain that?!"
"Your Majesty, as Your Majesty knows that every school year we always hold a selection exam for talented witches for the students in this school."
"But why must it be in the Deathly Forest?! Answer it!!! And why is there also Lili's name on that list of selection exams?!!! Didn't you know that he studied at this school there hasn't been a year! Why?!!!"
"Dammit!!! It's all because of Princess Cariz. The king was angry. What am I supposed to do?! Leafs...Leaf... let's quickly think!!!" inner Mr. Leaf.
Master Leaf thought as she looked towards the Demon King who was looking at her suspiciously. Seeing that Mr. Leaf had not answered his question, Evil began to grow furious. Both eyes began to turn red.
"Why silence a thousand languages?! You didn't get to make up?!!"
"For Your Majesty. According to the servant, this forest is perfect for finding talented magician disciples in our school."
"Heh, you think I'm a Foolish King that you can fool easily?!!"
"Hamba doesn't dare His Majesty."
"Don't you be honest, maybe I can ease your punishment!"
"Let him start red!" inner Mr. Leaf.
"What are they talking about? Why does Evil look so angry at Mr Leaf? Did Mr Leaf offend him? Whoa... This old man deserves a thumbs up because he dared to provoke this Demon King. I wonder if Evil will punish Mr. Leaf who offended him" Lili said as she watched from her bedroom window.
" Pardon Your Majesty, I have spoken the truth."
Seeing Master Leaf repeatedly bowing in front of Evil, as if she was apologizing, Lili thought that Lord Leaf was really looking to die with the Demon King. Feeling himself being watched by someone, Evil turned to look towards Lili's room. And, the two different pair of eyeballs met each other. Lili's heart was beating fast as if it wanted to escape from the body of its owner. He was surprised that Evil had caught himself watching him from behind the window. Realizing that Lili was watching him from behind the window of his room, Evil smiled warmly at him. Seeing Evil throw a sweet smile at him, Lili's heart beat grew irregular, Lili's face blushed and immediately hurriedly closed the window curtains and ran to her bed. Seeing that Lili had already closed the window curtain, Evil smiled coldly and turned his gaze towards Master Leaf. He stared intently at Master Leaf who was still bowed in shame not saying a word. Feeling himself being stared at sharply by the Demon King, Master Leaf did not dare to raise his head.
"alright. You're lucky today. My mood is good. But not any other day!"
"Eh?"
"You remember this. If anything happens to Lili, you will suffer the consequences. As an example to everyone, I will punish you for not acting as you please!!!"
"Your Majesty, I understand."
"Is this a threat to me?! It's all because Princess Cariz forced her to do something this desperate." Mr. Leaf said.
Evil turned around and gestured for the troops to retreat and return to the palace. Both Evil and his army flew away from the school while riding flying horses. Seeing that everything was gone, Mr. Leaf ordered all the teachers who followed him from behind to return to the room and rest. The atmosphere again became quiet. In the other room, the restless Lili tried to close her eyes. He remembered the incident that had just happened. Evil caught him and threw a smile towards him. Whether happy or scared, all mixed into one. As Lili fidgeted in her sleep a large and burly arm hugged her from behind. A person's breath is felt next to Lili's ear. It was enough to prove that there was another person sleeping next to him.
"You haven't slept, honey? Did you miss me?" whispers in Lili's ears
Lili deliberately kept quiet and pretended not to hear it. Looking at Lili who pretended not to hear him, Evil groped his body with his left hand. Feeling amused,
Lili looked back and accidentally stuck her lips on Evil's lips. Very cold and soft.
