The Last Incarnation Of The Land Of Arden
A Letter to Baal
A dark blue-haired teenage boy with an ice blue iris was walking along a vast expanse of cat-tailed grass.
He has a height of about 171 cm with a yellow skin color and wears tight black clothes with a dark robe like a shadow.
He looked at the grass that had a red rope tied up there.
"Damn!! Why do I keep going this way!!!" He grunts the grass because he is upset.
"I've been through this 143,151 times. Damn it!!! What wrong!!!!! And why is the sky still cloudy but not raining and not night?! DID YOU CURSE ME THE DEVIL HORN ONE DAMN IT!!!!!"
He was cursing while pointing at the sky.
"Well...." The teenager breathed his breath.
"LOOK! I WILL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!" Rigorously.

SHINRIN ROYAL PALACE
HOME TO II - Baal Room
Baal stared at the photo in a small frame with five people in it. In the photo, Aosora Bram, Aosora Arthur, herself, and a teenage boy, as well as an angelic teenage girl.
"Braam. Hurry back. Arthur's here alone. Aren't you worried about your little sister san00⁰gat you love that?" Baal said while holding another report letter containing news of the joint forces in the search for Aosora Bram.
"TOCK! TOCK! TOCK!"
The sound of knocking on the door was heard three times.
"Crown Prince. You get a letter from the Kingdom of Meganstria. It's from Princess Irene" The voice of the male servant who usually delivers letters to Baal.
"Come in" said Baal as he tidied his table.
The servant came in and gave a letter from Meganstria.
This is not an official letter because there is no stamp of Meganstria. This letter was a personal letter sent by Baal's fiancee.
The letter:
03, First Month, Year 1092
*To: Crown Prince Baal
The old Crown Prince did not see you. Are you healthy there? I'd like to meet you and have a chat over tea at the palace flower garden.
Today, the royal physician came and examined me. The doctor spoke with my father to give the results of the examination. My father, suddenly came to see me with a look that I could not describe through writing.
He told me to advance our marriage. It is because of my condition.
Crown Prince, I want to cancel this engagement. I'd like you to get something decent. You deserve to be happy with a woman you love and love you.
I'm waiting for you to cancel this engagement*.
Autographed
Irines
Reading the letter, Baal instantly widened his eyes and rushed out while carrying his blue suit.
The servant who had brought Baal's letter saw Baal coming towards him.
"Prepare the ship for me. Thirty more minutes I'll have the ship ready. There is no need to prepare anything for me" Baal said hurriedly.
"Wait, Crown Prince. What about Prince Aosora Arthur?" Ask the waiter.
"Give it to Dera, I entrust it. I will come to Aosora during Arthur's Rapture" Baal replied half-runningly and wearing his suit.
Baal came to Linus (His father) who was in his private room.
Baal knocked on the door and then entered after being allowed to.
"Dad, I asked permission to go to Meganstria. I'm sorry I couldn't get Arthur to Aosora. However, I have already handed it over to my guild members whom I trust" Baal said hurriedly.
Linus looked at his son who had not even sat down.
"Baal, sit down first and speak slowly. What the hell is going on?" Asked Linus slowly.
Baal widened his eyes then lowered his gaze.
"Dad, I'm sorry I'm so disrespectful" Baal pulled out a chair then he sat down and calmed his breath first.
Linus smiled faintly as he told the servant in the room to come out.
"Dad, Princess Irene suddenly wants to call off the engagement" Baal said in a calm tone.
Linus closed the documents he was signing.
"Why suddenly? What happened to Princess Meganstria?" Baal's engagement to Irene has been going on for almost three years. They both had the intention to get married in two more years after Irene turned twenty and had finished her education.
"Dad, he told me that his father wanted to propose marriage because of Princess Irene's condition. He advised me to cancel this engagement and told me to find his bride. Father, please give me permission to go to Meganstria and calm Princess Irene. I don't want this relationship to break up unilaterally" Baal explained while holding his forehead.
"Baal, do you really love Irene?" Asked Linus with a serious tone and look.
"Sure dad"
"Not because of pity on him? It was the kingdom of Meganstria that proposed an engagement for you and you took it for granted without consideration three years ago" Linus wanted to gain the confidence of Baal.
"Of course dad. I love Irene so much. I have loved Irene ever since our repeated meetings at Meganstria Academy. What else do I have to prove to Dad that I love him without coercion?" Reply asked Baal with a face that held back his tears.
Linus smiled faintly at Baal.
"Then, go. Father will follow tomorrow to Meganstria to take care of the wedding date of the two of you" Linus said as he stood up and approached his son whose eyes were watering.
Linus rubbed Baal's head. He felt the last time he saw Baal cry when he left Baal at Meganstria Dormitory 14 years ago.
"You're a big boy. If this is the best option for you, then do it. Father has always supported you" Linus said as he patted Baal on the back to calm him down.
"I don't know what else to say, Dad. But, thank you so much for giving me a chance" Baal rubbed his eyes.
...****************...
Baal felt calm after telling King Linus. He meets a man named Dera who he believes to replace him with Arthur's delivery.
"What's? Wait for the Crown Prince! Why should I?!" Asked the young adult male in front of Baal while thrusting back the bag of supplies given by Shinrin for the representative who wanted to deliver Arthur.
The man had mature brown skin with tanned hair and hazel colored irises.
"You are my people whom I trust Dera" replied Baal.
"But, why isn't it the representative you use?" Ask Dera.
Baal was looking for something Dera wanted so much that he would accept his request.
"Yes, because I trust you more and I'll give you 15 gold coins for the pocket money there, and I'll give you a week off to not do the mission, but you'll still get 5 gold coins a day that Sunday" Baal's looking for something to lure Dera into.
A smile expands on Dera's lips.
"Do I need to prepare the stamp for you to sign the Crown Prince?" Ask Dera while grimacing.
"God" Inner Baal happily.
