A pair of teary-eyed Aurellia still looked at the tightly shut door of the room. Behind that door was the last time he saw Dhafin disappear.
But why is the young man still here, in his mind?
Slowly he came back. To mourn his sadness alone. While everyone in his private room who lives in women increasingly feel the novelty of seeing it more sad.
Even Namira, the beautiful maid is now also covered in tears while bowing deeply. The sorrow of the Princess is also her sadness.
For so many years he had been with Aurellia how he did not know the inner burden Aurellia was suffering from. All the inner burdens Aurellia felt poured out all of them on her and on Naifa.
But what is the power of him and Naifa? They're just servants with no power. While the source of the Princess's greatest suffering was caused by Her Majesty.
Oh...., why is this fate so unfair to Princess Aurellia? His Majesty until now did not care about it, even seemed to hate it.
"Mr Princess!"
Aurellia slightly gasped at Ariesha's call. Slow but clear. Only then did he realize that there were still Ariesha and Grania in this room.
Hurriedly she wiped her tears with the end of her long-sleeved shirt. Then immediately turned to Ariesha who was already standing from her chair with Grania. They're getting ready to leave.
"You too are leaving me?"
Her voice was a little hoarse like crying. And her tears came back on her smooth cheeks. His pair of tear-stained eyes looked at the two little girls as if they had not given them up on leaving first.
"We also wish to beg of ourselves, Princess," said Ariesha with a heavy heart.
"Can't you guys accompany me for a day?" His voice begging was like it could no longer endure the crying.
Ariesha and Grania looked at each other at Aurellia's request. Not that they don't care about Aurellia's request. But they have business too.
There are only a few days left for the acceptance and selection of prospective military soldiers. They also need to prepare early. But if Aurellia had begged this....
"I know there are only a few days left to receive prospective military personnel" Aurellia said as if she knew what the two new friends were thinking. "And of course you need to prepare yourself early...."
"...I didn't mean to hinder you, but...."
Ariesha stepped over to Aurellia who was still sitting leaning on the edge of the bed. Aurellia kept watching him until she sat nearby.
Ariesha then grabbed both palms of Aurellia, then grasped them tightly gently. Keep saying with full gentleness and sincerity while smiling.
"Mr Princess! Grania and I will remain your friends until the end of life, both in times of joy and sorrow...."
Aurellia could no longer hold back her cries. The cry was moved by Ariesha's sincere words. He grabbed Ariesha and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you, Ariesha, thank you...."
"I'll tell you everything, without me hiding a bit...."
★☆★☆
There are only three days of acceptance events as well as selection of prospective military soldiers. After the event was over, the next day continued with one of the prestigious events. The Tournament of Martial Nobles.
Before the event began Brian was about to meet first four friends at the place they used to meet, namely on the edge of the city to the west. Brian invited Dhafin to join.
The journey from the city center to the destination takes approximately four times the rice with horse riding. They leave at seven to nine less.
As soon as Dhafin and Brian had ten more spears up in a rather small, solitary house, they slowed down the pace of the horse.
Not long after, the dark brown horse that Dhafin was riding and the dark horse that Brian was riding on had entered the courtyard without fencing the boardhouse. And they went straight to the right side of the house, where the horse was moored.
Once at the horse's tether, Dhafin and Brian got off their horses with ease. As both of their soles fell to the ground, they appeared light and soft, barely audible. Signifying the science of lightening their bodies is almost perfect.
When Brian and Dhafin tethered his horse, there were already three tethered horses. Brian watched the three horses while thinking about something. Then step.
"What's wrong?" tanya Dhafin lined Brian's steps towards the front of the house. "You seem to think of something."
"They should have gathered four people" Brian said in astonishment. "Why did three people get together?"
"Maybe it's too late."
Brian did not respond to Dhafin's remarks until they arrived at the entrance.
It turned out that there were three boys. The style and color of their clothes are different. Except their faces are the same, that is, handsome.
"Goodbye, Prince Brian," said the boy in double clothes with a smile full of friendship.
The child's outerwear was long to the calves and the long sleeves were rather wide in white. The appearance is so neat with a long hairdo that is also neat and beautiful.
"Hey, you brought people?" ask the haired child not too short while looking at Dhafin. "New friend or new member?"
He looks and is similar to Brian. Dress in green color.
While the child who seems to be the oldest, which is 12 years is silent. But his pair of sharp-shining eyes stared at Dhafin for a long time. Then back down while holding her.
She was dressed as half a thigh in dark blue. The shirt was wrapped in a black robe with a hooded cape just below the knees of black. His shoes are rubber and knee-high black. The posture is pretty high.
Dhafin looked at the three children in a calm manner, there was no hostility. Just a moment of observing he already knew the three children all had quite great magic.
"Where's Hendry?" just came Brian immediately asked the child who had not come. "Why hasn't he come yet?"
"What are you, Brian?" a child in green. "There's a new person not introduced yet."
"Oh yes, introduce this Dhafin, our new friend," Brian said as if he had just realized. Then he introduced the three names of the boy to Dhafin. After that, he repeated his question.
"Destiny is something unique, Brian," the 11-year-old white-clothed boy said in a wise manner. Name's Keenan. "Who would have thought he was late."
"You know we came from all directions" said the green-clad boy Kelvin. "Where do we know why he's late."
"Prince! No longer need to think about the boy," said the black-robed child as if giving a suggestion. His voice is cold. "I'm guessing he didn't come before the game started."
"You know why he's late, Aziel?"
"I'll find it instead, Prince," Aziel said without answering Brian's question.
★☆★☆
Of course Brian was astonished to hear Aziel's words. Keenan and Kelvin are no exception. The three of them looked at Aziel simultaneously. Instead of answering the question, instead want to find Hendry instead. Mean what?
While Aziel who was stared at raised his head and looked back at Dhafin sharply as if he was about to pounce on him.
While Dhafin was not surprised to hear Aziel's words, he did not understand what he meant. More do not understand anymore why just met the tall boy had invited him to fight.
From Aziel's eyes, Dhafin knew the boy was about to attack him. But he had not had time to think much, Aziel had already darted quickly. Knows the right leg kick the boy has drifted to the face quickly, hard, strong.
Unwilling to take the risk, Dhafin quickly bounces back as far as two more spears. Three times clumped in the air, then a pair of his legs landed softly on the ground.
Realizing that Aziel had suddenly attacked Dhafin, not only was Brian next to Dhafin stunned, Keenan and Kelvin were no exception.
While Aziel's kick that contains energy in the high just hit the wind. The kick arrived just two more breaths after Dhafin dodged the attack.
"Aziel! What are you doing?" kelvin jolted in his surprise.
Aziel did not care about Kelvin's jolt. As soon as he finished fixing the position, back he darted forward quickly carrying out the following attack to Dhafin.
Dhafin was about to call out to intercept Aziel's attack. But there doesn't seem to be a chance anymore. Aziel's movements were so fast, knowing that it was already in front of him less than three steps away.
As for Aziel, once Dhafin was already within his range of attack, it quickly banged a little bit of his body into the air. Then rotate his body to the left while his right leg that has been floated along twisted.
Aziel's kicking was so fast and powerful, ready to hit the right side of Dhafin's head.
There was no longer any chance for Dhafin to fend off because so quickly the attack came. Forced to tilt his head back quickly while his right foot back one step back as well.
So Aziel's right foot just passed in front of Dhafin's face was only three fingers apart. But the wind of the attack hit his face to raise his front hair dangling in front of his face to the right.
While Aziel apparently did not lose the stance when the attack to the two failed again. With his body still in the air, quickly his left leg which was also still floating was pulled into Dhafin's chest.
Dhafin, who already knew the attack was coming, quickly raised his right hand to fend off the attack while sliding his left foot back and tilting his body to the right.
Meanwhile, outside the fight Kelvin seemed to be about to stop the fight. But it was intercepted by Keenan.
"What the fuck are you, Keenan?" delik Kelvin gusar's. "You just let that new kid fight that crazy boy?"
"Are you or can I endure Aziel's madness if it's relapsed?" keenan said as if resuscitated.
Kelvin turned to look at Brian. He hoped that the prince could break up the fight. But he saw that Brian was silent in his place while watching the fight. As if the prince was enjoying.
★☆★☆
Meanwhile, the fight between Dhafin and Aziel is still ongoing. It's even getting more exciting.
The tall boy Aziel, after failing to make an attack, did not despair. He launched his next attack. This time the rhythm of the attack plus his speed.
While Dhafin as usual in the early moves has not responded to attack. He only dodged or repelled all Aziel's attacks that came despite the endless.
He wanted to measure up to where Aziel was. Feel the speed and power of each attack. Learn all the techniques used. Feel to where the energy level is.
In the first step to the 2nd step Dhafin can only conclude that the greatness of martial arts and energy in Aziel was still superior at a level above Prince Adrian Carel.
(if you want to witness the fight between Dhafin and Prince Adrian Carel, please read again CHAPTER 17 FACING KING Part.4: THE BATTLE IN BALAIRUNG PALACE!)
And the attack patterns of the two of them were also different. The pattern of Prince Adrian Carel's attack was ferocious again brutal. And the energy contained in his inner power was only heat energy.
While Aziel though all his attacks are hard and strong, but not brutal. All of his attacks were carried out calmly, yet deadly.
And Dhafin could sense that Aziel had two energies; heat energy and cold energy. Although not perfect, but he is said to be great at the age level of children.
As soon as he stepped on the 3rd step, Dhafin began to retaliate against the attack. And all the attacks launched were originally the same as the Aziel attack system. Both speed, strength, the rigidity of the attack, as well as the exertion of power within.
As a result, Aziel was able to counteract all of his own attack systems. They can even retaliate against attacks. So that in the 3rd step this makes the fight more stunning.
Meanwhile Brian, Keenan, and Kelvin continue to observe the course of the fight without blinking. Occasionally they chatted about the two fighters.
Meanwhile, they had understood what Aziel meant to find a replacement for Hendry. Aziel invites Dhafin to fight to test whether Dhafin deserves to replace Hendry or not.
"I think Brother Dhafin is better than Aziel" Keenan murmured.
"Even I think it's better than this Brian," Keenan said without flinching from the fight.
"Your words are right, Kelvin," said Brian, admitting without hesitation. "Even he had defeated the Proud Adrian very severely."
Keenan and Kelvin are willing to budge from that great fight to see Brian. Their pair of eyes were round so wide that he was shocked to hear this absurd news.
Their pair of eyes that were staring at Brian had already given off a deep curiosity about this news. But Brian, as if knowing the look in their eyes just said.
"Later I'll tell you."
It seems that the speech even makes the two children more curious to know the story how Dhafin can beat the defending champion of the Noble Children's Martial Tournament.
