The commotion instantly exploded after the departure of Aquila who disappeared in the darkness of the forest in front of the main gate of the Zemlya imperial palace. The general they were proud of could only lie weakly drenched in blood from any not-so-deep scratches. Even the Armor he used was perforated forming an irregular line.
Leaving behind the chaotic atmosphere, Aquila had caught up with the pillars that had preceded her towards the house at the edge of the forest. Upon arriving at the house they occupied, Aquila was greeted with the sad look of the faces of Rugiel and Soleil and the hatred that was seen from Vent Leger's eyes.
While Minami tried to heal the wound in Adrian's stomach that was still open with purple blood flow, which was purple, and of course, it makes Aquila feel angry at herself for not being able to protect one of her sisters who is the pillar of the night.
"Why Adrian could be hurt, haven't the prison guards gathered with the other guards?" Aquila asked angrily and did not believe her expectations.
Shiro and Vent Leger just looked at each other not knowing what the truth was. While Adrian only lay weak and unconscious because in his body his blood is almost exhausted because it continues to flow out.
"Shiro, aren't you with him, why could he be so horribly injured like that?!" Asked Aquila who already could not contain her anger.
"Sir Aquila, calm down. It's not Rino's fault, when we get to Adrian's main body, his body is already injured with a long incision in his stomach and continues to bleed and there is a container that holds Adrian's blood. And also I don't know where the blood flow stops." Vent Leger explained everything he knew, and of course spared Shiro from Aquila's already mounting anger.
"It turns out they were, I would gladly slaughter them for daring to injure one of my sisters." Aquila said clenching her hands tightly with a face that was difficult to understand, and then Aquila stepped out of her legs to leave the place and avenge the pain Adrian felt in her heart.
Seeing Aquila was about to leave, Shiro immediately stopped Aquila by hugging Aquila's already hot body with roaring breath. " Sister, don't do that. I don't want my brother's hands to be soiled with blood anymore, I know that Aquila's sister doesn't accept what Adrian feels, but I also felt every wound from my brother even though it was just a prick of thorns including every wound Aquila's feet felt. Sis, I beg you, do not do anything that makes me suffer more." Pinta Shiro solemnly, and Shiro also felt the exact same anger of Aquila while saving the already out of control Lossiel.
"Shiro, let me go. Let me finish what I have to do, I can't take it when one of you gets hurt, my heart hurts so much. Let me take Adrian's revenge on those who hurt him all this time." Aquila said with reddened eyes holding back the crying that had hung in her eyes.
"Sir Aquila, Giel would not have his brother Aquila bear his own burden like this, would Aquila's brother not trust Giel and Giel's brother?" Asked Rugiel who also hugged Aquila tightly.
"Of course I trust you all. But, let me do what I want to do. I don't allow anyone to hurt you even if it's just a fingernail. Let me protect you in my own way." Aquila replied in a stern tone and did not want to be denied.
"Sister, if brother Aquila believes us, then I beg you this time, do not do the same as when in the forest of Roa." Shiro said with hope.
"Miss, more misses comply with Mr. Shiro's request. I also don't want to see the lady tormented in the madness of the lady who can't be held back by me or them." Leave said understandingly delivered in a soft voice.
"Sorry, if I used to make Brother Leave feel troubled. But, I can't take it when Adrian's done like this." Aquila said firmly in his stance.
Aquila immediately abandoned her intention to earth the charred imperial palace of Zemlya out of sheer anger, and her gaze was immediately fixed on Adrian's body that was still lying weak.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a good brother for not being able to save you. Even I almost forgot you to indulge my selfishness." Aquila said in a sorry tone and put down her hand while directing her mana at Adrian's stomach wound.
Slowly but surely, the wound on Adrian's abdomen began to close and could be seen with the naked eye. And gradually the color of the pale skin now again shows a fresh color as ever.
"K-sister..." Adrian said in a soft voice.
"You are conscious, thank goodness... Is there anything still that hurts?" Aquila asked in a voice that sounded alarming.
"So stay here, don't leave me here alone, I'm afraid.." Adrian said by holding Aquila's hand with fiber and shaking and short but very fast breath.
"Sister won't go, brother will be here with you, don't be afraid." Persuade Aquila to calm Adrian who looks very frightened.
Adrian, who was trembling with fear, now calmed down and closed his eyes with regular breathing, and his hand still held tightly to Aquila's hand without any leeway at all.
"Like his Adrian suffered a very painful trauma Dita, I hope Dita's brother did not leave him even for a moment." Soleil said with attention to Adrian who had fallen asleep.
"Looks like. But I'm really curious, who traumatized Adrian like this." Aquila with a flat face.
"Don't think about it brother, we better take care of Adrian first. And also two days from now will be held a lantern festival." Shiro gave advice and told me something important in the next two days.
"And miss, if you'd like to let me find the one who kidnapped the baby, I feel like I want to make him suffer for daring to do such a vile thing to that sinless, holy baby." Minami said seriously because she felt so upset at the person that made her in a few days unsettled.
"Just take it easy, brother, he will appear in public at the festival. At that very instant, Brother Nami was free to do anything to him." Aquila said with a cold smile that faithfully adorned her ayu face.
