The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Hatred that starts to grow

That night, the residence of Duke Orzsbet...

Rara who experienced unpleasant things (according to her), immediately complained to her father. With emotions so passionate he even shouted because of his frustration...

" Dad has to do something, I really don't like that girl!! It could be that she is closer to the Crown Prince than I am, even though she is just an ordinary girl!" he said with anger.

The Duke, who knew the feelings of his only daughter, approached her, "Be calm, dear. You don't have to be angry like that just because of that ordinary girl "he said trying to calm Rara down.

" But dad... If he kept close to the Crown Prince, what if they were even involved in something?! Not only is it bad for the imperial family, but it is also bad for us! Didn't you promise me that I will be Queen in the future?" said Rara.

As a child born as a great noble like him, there was not a single thing he wanted that could not be fulfilled. As long as he said his wish, his father would grant his wish immediately.

Except for one thing, that is to be the Queen in this Empire. It was a very different thing, and he had to fight alone. Even if her family helps her, not necessarily she can get her.

Since Rara first saw Theodore, she had fallen in love with him. But like a star in the sky there, it was impossible for him to hold it, which is why he was so obsessed with getting Theodore's heart.

This was further corroborated by the expectations given by her father, who said he would make her the Queen of the Empire. Because that way, he can continue to be with Theodore.. And as she looked at Altair who was standing by her side without any effort like her, Rara was completely filled with jealousy.

Hatred instantly grew in an instant, and it was not easy to get rid of...

Duke Orzsbet also realized that his ambitious daughter would never let go of what she wanted, "Father, you know. Dad, know. My daughter need not worry, I will think of something to get rid of the girl "duke Orzsbet said.

" really? Promise father? " his question confirmed her again, which was then embraced by her father. And it makes her very happy, "I love you dad!." Rara hugged her father so happily.

Duke Orzsbet was glad his daughter was starting to calm down, besides, he had to think of a way to fulfill his wish.

" He was protected by the Dragon, but there was no way he could be spared from danger every time. There must have been a time when the Dragon had not noticed, it seemed like I had to find a person who could kill him without anyone's suspicion." thought the Duke very seriously.

And on the same night, in a region rarely touched by activities during the day, where crime was ranked highest in the Foldes empire...

A black-robed man came there, more precisely to a bar. Approaching the other man sitting behind her at this moment...

" Night, there's a request coming for you" said the cloaked man right behind him.

He put a piece of paper with Altair on it right next to the man, who was silent without saying a word.

" He's in the imperial palace, whatever you want as long as he disappears. We will prepare a way for you to enter without suspicion" said the cloaked man who then turned away after saying that.

Meanwhile, the man who had been silent earlier then took the paper and looked at it carefully...

" Hey. It's a pity if it should be eliminated." he muttered in a soft voice.

*****

tomorrow, the imperial palace.

Altair walked towards the library with his eyes locked onto the book in his hand.

" Hm... 'The heart of the York forest, where there is a border between the real world and the spirit world is 'world borders', the residence of the spirit guardians and forest rulers. A place full of holiness and blessings from the gods, so it is almost impossible to come there.' " muttered Altair when reading part of the contents of the book.

" I wonder what that place is like? Do you know Zico??" his question was then only answered with a slow growl from Zico.

Altair just chuckled with it, until he bumped into someone for being too focused on the book he was reading...

Bruk..!

" ah! Sorry, are you okay??" altair asked in surprise.

" ha... Its alright. Next time you have to be more careful." replied the man later.

But at the same time, Altair felt that something was strange at the moment..." Eh? I've never seen his imperial palace?? Wh who? New worker, huh?" inner wondering.

" Anu... Can I ask you? " althair said to the man before him at this moment.

" I never saw you in the palace, what.... You just came here?? " and Altair asked the question that was in his head.

" Yes, I just came. Someone sent me here." replied the man.

When Altair suddenly felt something was strange." I have a bad feeling."

["Master, curse energy came out of that hand. Quick run!"]

The Lumine report coincided when the person reached out to him and attacked him.

" Ziko!"

The surprised Altair had not had time to do anything when the man attacked him, he only mentioned Zico's name without him noticing, but that person's attack was blocked by something that made the two magic waves collide with each other.

Zrttt.....

The impact of the magic wave could be felt all the way to where Mira and Yin were on the other side of the palace, especially to the Emperor's workroom where the Emperor was currently.

Ning turned his gaze toward the window beside him with a curious look on his face, "What was that??" muttered.

On the other hand, Altair... He didn't really see what happened after that, but he was currently sitting with a shocked expression after what had happened just now. But the man who attacked him was no longer in front of him, I don't know where he went.

" Huh. huh.. W-What's that..."

" Altaire! " Mira's voice calling out to him from a distance distracted him, "Are you okay? What's going on?" ask her while helping Altair wake up.

" Ah, thank you, teacher. But what was that... Suddenly someone attacked me, but then he was gone... Is it just my hallucination, right??" said the confused Altair himself.

While Mira who heard him furrowed her brows seriously, "There is an intruder huh... Where is Yin at the moment..??" inner speaking.

Meanwhile Yin, she went out of the palace at this time. To the forest behind the palace...

There he found a little boy covered in blood and a man who was his victim...

" You killed him right away? You should have interrogated first, you sucked" he told the little boy, who was Zico.

" He's inexcusable, he could have attacked Master blatantly in front of me like that!" sahut Zico with a very angry look.

Yin could only scratch her non-itchy nape, she understood the reason she was so angry, but the problem was that now they had no idea who was the real mastermind of all this. And why is Altair being targeted.

Zico's emotions are more unpredictable than usual. Ever since his old master disappeared, the Dragon before him had become too possessive of Altair who became his new master. Nothing could stop the anger of the Dragon even though he was a child... This creature is a walking disaster.

" I can guess the person who is the mastermind." said Zico suddenly.

Yang again attracted Yin's attention, "Who?" tanyakanya.

" The same person you have in mind." replied Zico briefly, then he immediately left Yin there.

As for Yin, hearing that the person Zico was referring to was the same person he had in mind was shocking, because he could be that stupid...

*****

Later that night, Duke Orzsbet's...

Brakk...

" He disappeared without a trace?! That's right, he's completely useless!!" angry shouting.

Yeah, he's upset because his plan didn't go the way he wanted....
