The atmosphere within the Zemlya empire was pitch-black, with only the red glow of lanterns hanging on each side of the road to the settlement of the imperial society illuminated by brighter lanterns.
Cold simultaneously comes with snowflakes that fall from the sky with a red color like drops of blood that have just been spilled due to the war that has been passed by a girl riding a deer crystal. But all of that is the illusion of a lantern glowing red and reflected by the pure white snowflakes.
A small snake sleeping under a warm robe woke up and revealed its head with a small purple jewel from behind the wearer's cloak. His gaze instantly sharpened directionally on a magnificent palace with lanterns hanging on the outside.
The day should be bright with the sun on the horizon, but only a moon that emits a dark purple light that only adds to the impression of an endless darkness.
The boisterous sounds of the crowd were heard increasingly clearly, people were passing by in the street illuminated with bright lanterns illuminating the surroundings. In an instant the crowd disappeared and became silent, only a faint roar of breath could be heard from those who were silent in their astonishment at the arrival of the Aquila troupe.
Silver mane, red eyes with a beautiful face riding magical beast Crystal deer pulled by someone unknown because of the black cloak that covered his entire body and only showed his two eyes that were different.
And behind him stood three beautiful and handsome teenagers with their own charismatic character and indicate that they are not people from the bottom. Everyone who was there immediately stepped aside giving them a way to pass.
"Who are they? They're very handsome, and look at the woman above, she's very beautiful." Praise them in a voice that whispers but can still be heard.
"I don't know, ahh. I want to betroth my daughter to that black-haired young man." Said one who answered his theme question, and stared intently at Helios.
"Gee.... I'd love to marry her..." Said a handsome man with a typical noble attire.
"Sir, is he worth it?. We don't know about his identity." Said a person standing beside him who was none other than his bodyguard.
"If the Duke finds out, he can get angry. And what else there are rumors that there is a person who claimed to be the Messiah and it turns out that he is a very cruel demon. And from her stature she was very similar to this poster, and only her eyes and hair were different colors." Said the bodyguard while observing the figure of Aquila who had already moved away from the crowd.
"That's just a rumor, not necessarily true, right?" His refutation while walking on the road that connects the palace and the housing of his people. While the noble housing is located not far from the imperial palace which is bounded by high walls.
Aquila unintentionally heard about the rumor that suddenly entered her sharp ears. Of course Shiro and the others listened to the rumors, but they had no evidence to refute all the allegations that were made against his own brother.
An irritated look was evident on Shiro, Helios, and Vent Leger's faces and worried Aquila. But it is free, people who are feared even look indifferent with a flat pan.
"You why? If you're bothered by what they say, let it go." Aquila said looking at one by one of the three teenagers walking behind her with an annoyed face with tightly clenched hands.
"Sister, why are you getting things that you shouldn't. They should be very grateful that the Messiah has been present not to rebuke him as a demon." Vent Leger said in an upset tone.
"Make what? all of this has nothing to do with me. What matters to me is the safety of all of you." Aquila said with ease.
Vent Leger's heart was previously very upset and wanted to scold the human pata who said bad things to his brother, he said, it instantly disappeared and was replaced with a sense of warmth and happiness that Vent Leger could not say.
"That's right, let them say it, most importantly Brother Aquila stays with us no matter what. Right sis?" Shiro asked proudly.
"Miss, that's not good. It's the same missus will destroy this world, isn't the goal of the miss just to free the shiro master brothers?" Leave warned of the purpose of the beginning of Aquila.
"Ah, I seem to have begun to be affected by the evil energy that has spread in this world." Aquila said with a sour face.
"I hope the lady can control the emotions of the future lady. I don't want Miss to fall in the rage like she used to in the Roa forest." Imbuh Leave is back.
"Not going to leave. I won't fall a second time." Aquila said diligently so as not to trouble Leave as before.
"Miss, we're here." Minami said that had stopped at a house that looked unkempt and located on the edge of the forest far from the hustle of human activities in the Zemlya empire.
"Finally, we can take a short break here." Aquila said gratefully.
"Huh, brother Aquila. I'll walk around for a minute, will I?" Shiro asked hopefully.
"of course. Don't you want to rest for a moment shiro?" Ask Aquila.
"No. I'll just rest later." Shiro answered as he turned his back to Aquila.
"Rino...!! I'm coming....!!!" Shouted Helios while running small.
"No!!! You're just here, Lio." Reject Shiro.
"Sir Aquila, let me go too. I want to go for a walk with Rino." Pinta Helios with great hope.
"Shiro, let him come." Aquila said softly, Shiro certainly could not resist Aquila when she spoke in such an understanding voice.
"Alright, as long as you don't get in my way later." Shiro said with a gloomy face.
"Sir Aquila is the best. Rino too.. Ha ha - ha.." Helios laughed happily.
"Hem... Come on, let's walk. Or you'll I'll stay." Shiro said as he walked and left Helio still laughing indistinctly.
"Hey....!!! Don't leave me...!!" Shouted Helios while running fast to catch up with Shiro.
While Aquila and the others just smiled amusedly at the behavior of Shiro and Helios. After the two young men disappeared into the gloomy darkness, Aquila and Vent Leger entered the house and held Soleil and Rugiel who were still asleep while Adrian was awake.
Minami and Leave were already inside the house and were cleaning equipment that was covered in a thin cloth that covered the furniture of the house so as not to be polluted by dust.
