The Journey of the Phoenix
The Embossment of Suspicion

That day in the forest, the blue sky along with the sun around him, was staring at Haruka, who was walking back to the middle of the forest, to meet Norr, Leo and Princess Kirana, who were, Haruka quickly stepped on her legs, a broken tree branch she stepped on, while looking back she tried to make sure Prince Kichiro did not follow her.

Until finally Haruka can see the wooden house from a distance she noticed Princess Kirana who was currently cemented, in front of the House. Haruka who walked to be able to approach Princess Kirana, seemed a little confused by what had happened to the woman, Princess Kirana who was pensive and then her gaze accidentally led to Haruka, who was in the middle of the dream, a little snapped at her when she saw Haruka who had just come out from the trees, then Princess Kirana immediately smiled faintly at Haruka.

Haruka who saw the expression change from Princess Kirana, who was much faster than just turning the palm, made herself feel suspicious, with what was being hidden by Princess Kirana from her. Haruka continued walking to get closer and closer towards Princess Kirana who was in front of the wooden House.

When Haruka had set foot on the wood from the front of the House, Princess Kirana who was already watching herself immediately asked Haruka, slightly tilting her body to the left.

"Where have you been? We've all been worried about you." Said, Princess Kirana who was staring at Haruka's face.

Haruka who heard the words from Princess Kirana, immediately she stopped her steps while looking at the face of Princess Kirana, Haruka also replied asked the Princess Royal, with a cold attitude.

"I just got back from the river, so what are you doing here?" said, Haruka who was turning around to ask Princess Kirana.

Princess Kirana who heard the words from Haruka then she immediately smiled faintly to Haruka, she did not mind the attitude of Haruka who looked cold as well as indifferent, because it was the usual thing he got from Haruka, but what makes Princess Kirana anxious is if only Leo said something that he had heard when Princess Kirana was talking to Xiao Chen in the forest last night.

He would never know what Haruka would think of him, it was possible that Haruka would feel betrayed if she received an offer from Xiao Chen who said that she was able to give an extraordinary strength to herself, on the other hand she was indeed thirsty for strength, but will he betray his friendship just for the sake of a sweet promise? I don't know but at this time he is still considering everything carefully.

"I? Of course I'm waiting for you." Reply Princess Kirana who answered asked Haruka firmly.

Haruka who saw the attitude of Princess Kirana looked different and a little strange that made her feel a bit suspicious, but Haruka was still silent, although the silence he was doing was not just silent and indifferent, but still while observing.

"Oh, I'm back now, there's nothing to worry about, but I want to talk to you inside." Said, Haruka who immediately stepped foot to be able to enter the Wooden House.

Princess Kirana who heard Haruka's words, looked curious about what Haruka would say to all of them, Princess Kirana who was still outside the House, then he immediately followed Haruka to enter the Wooden House.

Inside there was Norr and Leo sitting on a wooden chair, the sound of the footwear that Haruka was wearing made them immediately look at Haruka who had returned, Leo and Norr were looking so coldly at Haruka who had just returned, it made Haruka who saw the gazes of the two men feel very confused, then Haruka immediately glanced to her right side, either just by chance or there was actually a problem between them, Haruka felt that the attitude of Leo and Norr who looked so cold that he actually showed to Princess Kirana or maybe to her.

Norr and Leo were staring at Haruka sitting on the Chair, making Norr immediately ask Haruka, who had just returned.

"Where have you been?" norr asked with a worried look at Haruka.

Haruka who was sitting on the chair then she immediately glanced towards Norr who was in front of her.

"Hm, I just got back from the river, there's something important that I want to tell you all, somehow the story was all of a sudden while I was in the river, right now, I was met by Kichiro, and I just realized this place is Prince Kichiro's estate." Said, Haruka who explained to her friend with a stern face.

Norr, Leo and Princess Kirana were shocked when they heard Haruka say that to themselves.

"really?" asked Princess Kirana who looked very surprised.

Haruka who was sitting on the Chair then she immediately glanced at Princess Kirana who was at that time beside her.

"Right, hmm but it looks like he's in trouble." Reply Haruka who immediately turned her gaze towards the left side.

Norr and Leo who heard Haruka's words then Leo immediately spoke to Haruka, looking at her face.

"And, don't you want to help her? Doesn't she know you're Hanna right now?" said Leo who immediately replied to Haruka's words quickly.

Haruka who heard the words from Leo then she immediately looked back at the faces of Leo and Norr, while replying to the words from Leo addressed to her.

"Hm, I will definitely protect him, even though I know he is a very powerful Prince, but what I am doing right now is just a guilt because I have ruined his life." Said, Haruka who immediately turned her gaze towards the left side again.

Norr who heard Haruka's words, immediately nodded his head while looking at Haruka, Norr felt that Haruka's current attitude and nature were really much different from her who used to look so very haughty, selfish, and arrogant, and cruel, now what Norr feels from Haruka who is currently his attitude that is not only selfish but also concerned for others, he said, taking responsibility for everything he has done to others, his arrogance and selfishness turned out to only be used when he was in the body of Princess Hanna.
