The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Information

After hearing the name of the group sought by Israhi and Altair, Derrick turned more serious. He thought about it very seriously, and from his facial expression it was not something good to say.

But it draws confidence from those who are there...

" Sister, you know?"

" I do have. But that's not good enough information you can hear."

" Haha, that's good. I have another reason to blame them."

" Just tell us quickly."

Two bees are waiting for their honey. One was curious, and the other was looking for an excuse. Such is the condition of Altair and Israhi in the eyes of Derrick now. No matter how bad, as long as they get what they want, neither will stop bothering them.

It made him sigh deeply, "Ha. I don't know too much because they're a closed group. All I know is, they're looking for something left behind by the 'Four Worlds' in this world. I heard that it is a priceless treasure that can shake the universe, and unseal ancient creatures that try to devour the world." Derrick explained to them.

It sounded overwhelming and terrifying at the same time, considering something like that could annihilate them easily. Altair had also heard of the treasure from Milya. The thing is, what treasure is meant?

Among those who thought that, Aksa was the first to raise his voice." 'That last 'Four-world Princess', was the Imperial Queen of the Foldes, right? Queen Quennevia. "

Because of his words, making others suddenly turn their attention to Mira who is currently thinking among them.

Aware of the intent of their gazes, Mira only lightly shrugged both of her shoulders. He did not know about such a precious relic, it was impossible for His Majesty to tell him what treasure and where he left it.

Too risky to be stolen by others.

Until he remembered something, maybe not everything he did not know.

The gaze of Mira's eyes quietly immediately turned to Altair, who was thinking while putting her index finger on her lips. Maybe he was the one who thought the most out of them at the moment.

" I wonder what his thoughts are right now..."

Well, Mira's not wrong about that. However, it turned out that the contents of his head were more chaotic than he had expected.

" Hare.seals.ancient creatures.shake the universe... Princess of the four worlds.. Bahamut.. Goddess of death.. The king of the dragons. holy war. curse.. destruction. apocalypse. mother of the world. mother. ib.u.."

" ...pair... Altair..!"

" Alrish!!"

" Huh?! Oh... what?"

Altair is surprised that Mira suddenly yells at him there, but he is thinking right now.

While Mira only sighed because of that...

As expected, Altair was deep in his own thoughts. He probably won't come to his senses until his head hits the floor as he keeps his head down and heads down. Although.it's not the first time this has happened.

At the palace it was always like this. When he was deep in thought, he would not see or hear anything anymore. He had even been plunged into the pool because of his carelessness.

" Altair, I told you it's a bad habit. Being too deep in your mind will make you unfocused, especially in a fight, it was a very fatal mistake."

Altair will be easily attacked when it happens, because his alertness is reduced drastically.

" I know teacher, sorry." That doesn't mean he wants to be. But his thoughts always went away whenever there was something related to the ancient world and beings.

It was as if the world was trying to show him something he was neglecting, but at the same time someone was pressing him still as he is now. And also, he realized something after coming to his senses from his daydream...

" Is that all you know?" when Yi confirmed it to Derrick.

Derrick, who was asked, slightly nodded his head, "Yes. They were a closed group, not much information was excluded from them. That's why I don't know. Even an informant Guild alone did not necessarily have such information. In fact, it could be that one of them is people who have a relationship with 'them'." he explained.

The talk was quite boring, because not many knew about something they were talking about. If only the group were more famous or overt. But, even though the group had existed for a long time, their existence had long been buried and lost its prestige with the story from the fight 100 years ago.

People are now lulled by a mortal peace before their eyes, unaware of the dangers that lie underground.

However, the boring situation was soon over when Altair who had been reprimanded by Mira just silently raised her voice. " Sister, I'm sorry I didn't realize this before. But... Are you hurt?"

" What...?"

It made Susana turn cold instantly. Derrick who was asked could not hide his shocked face because it was a question that came from Altair.

While Israhi and the others stared at Derrick with eyes in need of explanation.

But Altair hadn't finished talking, "I smell the blood." she reached out and touched Derrick's body, which made him flinch with it. "... Right here. Are you seriously hurt, brother?." Altair stared at him fixedly asking for certainty.

On the other hand, Derrick is keeping his mouth shut tight right now. He even turned his face away from Altair's setting. That alone is enough to explain.

Including explaining the reasons for the people heula was so sensitive and vigilant especially after Israhi asked about him. They want to keep this a secret and protect it from threats in their way.

" Sister..."

" Altrade.."

Altair stopped talking to Derrick's voice calling his name, he probably talked too much about it. But if it wasn't for it being Derrick, he wouldn't have cared about that person's injuries. To this day, he has lost a lot of things...

Only Derrick can remember the memories at GoldenRose with him. If Derrick leaves too... Altair wasn't sure what he would do next...

Derrick, on the other hand, doesn't want to worry Altair. But is silence the right choice...?

" Altair, I'm fine. So please don't say anything else." Even so Derrick remained on his stance.

" What's that bad..?" until Israhi came into their conversation. " What wound did you get, is it severe..?" ask the person in front of him right now.

They have known since 7 years ago, when Derrick and Israhi accidentally joined a group of extermination in the continental staircase, where monsters began to breed there.

He knew Derrick would never tell his wounds to anyone, not even his partner.

Derrick who got the question from him was a little hesitant, "It's not as bad as you think.." he hesitated knowing Israhi wasn't easy to trick.

And yes, as he knows. Right now he was stared at by Israhi with an expression of disbelief. " Mhm... What do you think, Altair? " said Israhi later.

Altair fell silent for a while, and then. " .... I smell poison." He said that.

" That's enough" said Israhi who then got up from her seat and walked up to them, Altair who saw it also immediately woke up from Derrick's lap. And then Israhi directly pulled Derrick's arm, "Let's go to another room and we'll check the wound." she didn't playfully say that.

But Derrick seemed uncomfortable with it, "I'm fine. So stop acting like my dad." he turned it down.

" What kind of poison do you have now? Until you can't trick the kid's nose even if you use the strong scent candles in the room." Israhi chimed in as she frowned looking annoyed.

Derrick knew he was aware of it since hearing that he was injured from Altair, but something Israhi said then left him speechless.

" The boy is now alone. You won't know when the empire will draw attention from the boy and leave him, if bad things happen to you too....What do you think will happen to the boy?." whispered Israhi in his ear.

Derrick knows it's a bad thing. Altair who was standing in front of him just now looked so empty and lonely. If anything happens to him.... Altair will be completely alone..

" ha's.. All right.." she finally had no choice because of it. Than the bad thing in his head is now a reality.

Israhi and Derrick and Altair went to another room to check on him as Israhi said. He also told his friends to wait and watch around, just in case this place is attacked again when they overcome Derrick's problem.

And his friends nodded in understanding of it. It won't last too long... Because someone is out there staring at where they are right now with a strange smile.
