The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Seal rings

Brakk...

" Wake up you slackers!. " cried Mira who suddenly entered Altair's room and immediately pulled the bed sheet on top of her bed.

" Yeah!!. " Altair and Zico who were treated like that also woke up very surprised, especially because he fell out of bed because of Mira.

" Let's get up quickly, it's time to show you that" said Mira, who seemed not to care much about what had just happened.

" Ouch... What's the matter, Miss?? " asked Altair, he rubbed his head which was still painful due to pounding the floor.

" Have it been fast! We should leave soon!. " Mira did not answer him at all, and instead immediately pulled Altair's hand to leave.

" Eh?! At least let me change clothes first!. "

Moments later, after Altair tries hard to force her to let her change her clothes, Mira finally agrees and waits until Altair is finished. Fortunately it was not too long since it was still early morning, and the servants who usually dressed up Altair were still busy with other work.

But even though Altair did not use any decorations at all, she already looked very beautiful. Even the way he walked and talked seemed very graceful naturally, without being taught by anyone.

" Hey, hey, hey. I was very curious, the Knights who came to your village were busy talking about you. Is your Dragon really able to grow?? What did he look like when he was big?? " ask Mira in a row until Altair was confused to answer which one.

" sa... I don't know. I don't really remember what happened back then "and in the end Altair can only say that.

" Ah, what a pity. I was very curious, but I was. Then how were your days in the palace?? Are you happy?? "

Hearing those words Altair bowed his face, there were indeed many things that made him think. Can he be honest for now??

" Hm... To be honest, I actually feel burdened. To His Majesty, Lord Yin, the Princes and servants here. Even the Knights. I feel too treated specifically, even though I am nobody" Altair said with a gloomy face.

" It certainly is, yes. But you should know, Your Majesty only wants to protect you. "said Mira anyway.

" I know. But everyone was impressed to hide many things from me, let alone His Majesty. "

Mira stretched out her hand and rubbed Altair's head gently, making the Altair who was treated like that turn her head and look at her carefully.

" There are some things in this world where you don't usually accept things from the beginning, Your Majesty knows that. Therefore he seeks to protect you, from the accompanying consequences of what you want to know. "

Mira sounded like a very wise person, so Altair looked at her with admiration even though she did not understand her words too much. Mira who saw Altair's gaze on him only chuckled, she knew the meaning of Altair's gaze. Because all of her feelings were clearly on her face.

A moment later, Altair's amazed face turned into a shocked face, not because something happened. But because right now they are both standing in front of a very large door, which is nothing but.... Treasure storage room.

" Huh?? Why are we here?? " task Altair to Mira who even looks mediocre.

" Hm?? Of course to show you something I said. " replied Mira.

Altair wants to escape from there, but Mira insists he enter without consent. Already many things had been given to Altair in the palace, but now why was he even taken to the treasure storage room??

" Um... Miss, can we go back now?? " ask Altair at Mira.

" Gosh, we just got in. Why should I go out?? " answer Mira anyway.

" aah! But I don't want to be here, what if something goes missing later. "

" ha... You want to bring everything no problem. "

Altair even more do not want to be there after hearing Mira's words, he wants to run away from there but the exit is closed and locked again by Mira. And now, they walked in deeper, towards the basement that was there.

Accompanied only by the torch on each wall to where Mira wanted to be, they were now faced with another large door that was underground. Mira seemed to mutter some incantations, extending her hand towards the door. And slowly, the door opened.

" Whaa... What is this place?? " say Altair.

" It's a heritage place. Usually only His Majesty is allowed to enter here, anyone cannot enter without permission" replied Mira.

Altair was again surprised to hear, "Then shouldn't we be here?!!. "

" Don't worry, I've got permission. "

Many heirlooms were there, each one protected by high-level magic that was extremely difficult for the imperial family to penetrate even once. Altair wonders what Mira wants to show him.

" well, Altair. Look there, " said Mira also while staring at a small altar in front of her.

Altair who heard him walked over and saw what Mira saw, "It?? " Altair seemed to be wondering when he saw her.

Sure oes. A small ring that looks normal, and easy to find in the market. But in their place now, the ring was guarded very tightly by magic. It was even given a very special place.

" It was a ring that used to be used to seal the power of the previous Emperor that was very large, because now the previous Emperor does not need it, so he kept it here as an heirloom object" explained Mira.

Altair looks very impressed when he sees it, but hearing what Mira says next makes Altair very shocked.

" Take it. " said Mira.

" yeah?? What's?! " Altair was really very surprised, more than the two before him. " That's impossible! How could I be that sassy taking the heirloom belonging to the imperial palace!" he refused.

" I told you, I got permission. Now take it quickly, " said Mira as she pushed her up the Altar.

Now Altair was already standing on the Altair, hesitatingly, he then stretched out his arm and grasped the ring. When then the protective magic that was on the ring was trying to push him away.

" Errh... "

Altair tried his hardest to hold on while clutching the ring, as well as Mira who was outside the Altar. It turned out that the ringed protective magic was stronger than he had expected, even Altair was injured because of him.

" Altair use your power! Put the magic in you on the ring!" cried Mira to Altair.

" Ukh!! How-how?? " ask Altair.

" Focus! Think of which stream you are like a river, and flow that river into the ring you hold!. "

Altair then closed his eyes, and followed Mira's direction to imagine the mana like a river. But actually, what was imagined by her was even an ocean. Altair then flowed his power to the ring, like a calm ocean current.

Later, Altair's original appearance returned. His hair turned golden with his green eyes, his forehead marks also shone. At the same time, what is seen in Mira's eyes is not just an Altair change. But it was also the figure of a man holding Altair's hand as he grasped the seal ring.

" That's." said the Inner Mira.

Soon the ringed protective magic disappeared, as did the pressure it exerted. Altair had already managed to get the ring. Mira was relieved because of her.

But unlike Mira, Altair who looks very surprised even immediately fell sitting in his place. His legs felt weak because the first time he experienced something like that.

" Me, Scary." said Altair.

Meanwhile, Mira who heard him laughed as she walked closer to him, "Hahaha... Don't worry, one day you'll get used to it" he said, then stroked Altair's head.

Altair looked up at Mira, "But... Why was I told to take this ring?? " ask Altair anyway.

" Try wearing. "

Altair looked at Mira confused, but then she put on her ring in her hand as Mira said. And miraculously, the ring that was the greatness in the Altair was immediately adjusted its shape. Not only that, but her appearance returned as before.

" Whoaa." said Altair.

" The ring will adjust its shape according to its owner. Plus he can hide your identity well" Mira told Altair.

" Why to me?? " ask Altair.

" It is not difficult to stay focused on controlling the mana inside you so that your true appearance is not discovered. The ring will help you" said Mira

" So this ring really is so mine?? " tanya Altair made sure, from the look of his face he looked hopeful, when before he was very hesitant.

Until Mira who saw him became giggled amused, "Yes, "he replied.

The answer made Altair look at him in amazement. Mira just smiled.
