The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Lecht

Hearing what Mira told him, Altair separated from his friends and went to the Emperor's place with Mira. Altair was also curious as to what reason the Emperor had to call him, he just wished it wasn't a bad matter.

Altair suddenly recalled, "Oh yes, Master. Why is the teacher wearing a dress now?" ask Altair curiously.

" huh? It's not you who used to always tell me to wear a dress, why now even ask? " ask Mira back to her.

" Yes, usually, even though he is told, Master remains stubborn and wears a knight's outfit. So I was quite surprised because it was this sudden " replied Altair shyly.

Mira smiled and rubbed her head, "I just want to realize the wishes of my students. It's our last party before we go anyway, isn't it? " mira Sahut.

Altair who heard him then smiled and nodded his head in understanding.

Finally arriving also in front of Ning, he was seen chatting with a blond man. Altair had never seen her before, so he guessed that she must be a messenger from a neighboring country.

" Your Majesty, Altair is here" said Mira, distracting them.

" Is there anything you need, Your Majesty?" ask Altair who is curious.

" Oh, Altair. Nothing too special either, it's just that I want to introduce you to someone. He was Lecht Reus Chrysos. " said Ning who then canalized the person next to him.

" Hello, Miss Altair. "greet Lecht kindly.

And Altair also bowed to Lecht, "Hallo." he said. But then he realized, "Wait... Lecht Reus Chrysos was not the name of the previous Emperor Chrysos. Ja-So... " Altair was very surprised because of that.

While Mira, Lecht and Ning just smiled at her who was so surprised because of it. Altair himself was puzzled as to why the people from the past he had only read from books were now in front of him, and looked so young as if they had never grown old in the past.

Lecht himself, if calculated his age is now 120 years more, but he seems to be 25 years old. How did that happen??

" Altair, stop thinking complicated things. And focus on the conversation in front of you. "the Altair daydream finally broke when Mira said that.

" Oh, right" said Altair.

Lecht who saw it so laughed lightly, "I'm sorry to make Miss Altair very surprised, to be honest actually from the first I was very much looking forward to meeting you. " his words also made Altair confused.

" why? " ask Altair curiously.

" Because you're so famous, even to Chrysos. "but that's the answer given by Lecht.

Altair doubted that, "Am I really that famous??" ask her to Mira.

But Mira just shook her head not knowing, but it was true... Altair was very famous in the Foldes thanks to rumors about the crown princess.

" By the way, Miss Altair. Don't you mind dancing one song with me??" lecht asked suddenly.

" yeah? It doesn't matter, "said Altair anyway.

But then Ning overcame it, "Ha. Old grandfather wants to take a little boy dancing, you must be kidding Mr. Lecht.

And Lecht himself laughed in response, "Haha.. 100 years younger, much younger than you who are almost 5 centuries more, right??" that's his response.

While Altair who was in the middle of her just stared innocently at what was happening in front of her at this moment. Only then did he and Lecht go down to the dance floor and start dancing with the others. And seeing that, it must have immediately attracted the attention of the people who were there.

Including the princes...

" Sister see, Brother Altair is dancing with someone" Abel said to his brother when he saw that.

On the other hand Altair, he was still curious about something that was bothering him. He wanted to ask her that but hesitated, but if he did not ask her he would also continue to be curious.

In the end he decided to ask that, "Anu, Your Honor, I know this is impolite, but I'm curious. How can you keep looking young after so long time has passed??" that's what he asked.

Lecht who heard that smiled again, "It's not too special, it's just the first... Quennevia suddenly came before me without notice and instantly stuffed my mouth with a medicine that kept me from aging and living for a long time" he said, glancing elsewhere as he recalled.

While Altair was made shocked because of her, "Cocky? That is to say... Did Her Majesty Queen Quennevia force you to take the drug??" ask Altair to make sure.

Who was then influenced by Lecht, "Yes, he did just that. "he said.

Altair was speechless to hear that, something that would not be expected from the nature of a Queen of Quennevia. It would never have been thought of by anyone. Then suddenly Altair realized something else.

" Oh yes, I'm curious too. Since you kept looking at my face, is there something wrong with my habit??" ask Altair.

Lecht just shook his head, "No, it's just that seeing you reminds me of someone. You're so similar to her " replied Lecht who made Altair feel blushed.

I think a lot of people say he looks like someone they know. He felt that maybe that was why he was famous everywhere.

" I feel a bit embarrassed" said the Inner Altair.

While Lecht who saw it was just silent, "They look so similar, but their nature is completely different. "the inner.

The party ended late at night, everything went well without any problems. After the guests came home, things got a little quiet that night. And Altair, who was currently ushered into his room by Theodore..

" You're drunk. " Theodore guided Altair who was staggering along at this moment.

" Ti-No. " sahut Altair chimed in.

" Where does a drunk person say he is drunk" said Theodore with a flat face when he heard that.

" Guru said I should enjoy it before leaving. Soon I will leave the palace, so it's okay" replied Altair anyway.

Theodore who heard that became silent, he stopped in his place and made Altair confused.

" Your highness..??" call Altair to him.

But Theodore was still silent, until... " Are you...re you really going??" ask her in a soft voice.

" What? " Altair didn't hear that much.

" Do you really have to go, Altair? I think it's okay if you stay here, we can still find your parents even if you're here" Theodore said with a sad face.

He seems unwilling to hear that Altair is leaving soon, he may realize that after spending 5 years with Altair, he has become quite dependent on him. He even got used to seeing Altair running around the palace and practicing until reading a book with him. Imagining the palace without Altair in it, it made him feel somewhat lonely.

Theodore's slack was broken when he felt the touch of Altair's hand on his face, and yes.. Altair now stood before him and held his cheeks with both hands.

" Your Majesty, I went looking, not to die. We'll see each other again, so don't feel like you're alone. The world is big, there are many people around you. Even though we are among the sea of humans, we can still recognize each other" Altair told him.

Which makes Theodore feel a little better, "You're right, sorry. Well then, at least don't forget to send me a letter "he said, leading Altair back to his room.

Altair who heard that also smiled, "Tantu only. "he said with great confidence.
