The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 37 TARGET ARREST

Rainer and the Princess continued to fall from the tree where they lurked profusely. Previously Rainer was still under the influence of Dhafin's supernatural power. So that his whole body other than the head can not be moved.

While the Princess actually has martial arts and science to lighten the body appreciably. But because the branches of the tree they were incandescent broke strangely and suddenly, then he fell without having time to master the balance of his body.

Even more unfortunate, he and Rainer have been hit three times by tree branches. To make him scream in pain.

Anger, annoyance and pain mixed in him that made him annoyed and hurt to Dhafin.

But once less than two more spears would land on the ground, and it happened that the influence of Dhafin's supernatural power was gone, Rainer who was at the bottom quickly mastered the balance of his body.

Then his left hand quickly grabbed the Princess's waist which was within his reach. While his right hand whose palm was open was quickly jerked down. Precisely towards the five boys who turned out to live four more spears the distance.

So from the palm of his hand came a dense wind with a hot air and shot towards the five boys quickly.

But as the five boys seemed to be aware of the existence of a nonexistent attack, it was as if some of their commandos were instantly bouncy into the air as high as a single spear.

So the long-range attack was just passing under their feet. And because it did not hit the main target, a series of hot air-dense winds continued to slide backward.

Then it mercilessly directly hit a fairly large tree back there. And that poor tree was instantly shattered into a violent explosion.

While Brian, Keenan, Aziel and Kelvin, as if they had agreed before they responded to a long-range attack as well.

Bouncy in the air Keenan moved his palms on with his chest in a strange motion. Then the index finger and right left thumb are put together in the middle. The other jeriji is bent.

So from the radius that formed the rectangle immediately appeared a white light studded with yellow hot air. Then his fingers whose ends were fused were pushed forward forcefully.

Then the yellow white light immediately shot towards Rainer and the Princess quickly.

While Brian and Aziel pushed his left palm forward firmly. So it came out of Brian's palm a red light and immediately shot towards the two scouts.

And from Aziel's palm came a round beam as big as a white fist and immediately shot towards Rainer and the Princess quickly.

While Kelvin jerked his right hand forward as if throwing something. So out of his palm a long blue light shaped lightning and immediately shot towards Rainer and his master as well.

The four long-range hot air attacks continued to slide towards Rainer and the new Princess landed on the ground not too smoothly.

The heat of the four attacks made the grass that became their track immediately dry up.

While the Princess who witnessed the four ferocious attacks that were getting closer could only widen her beautiful eyes. He had never imagined that he would die this young and ridiculous.

★☆★☆

Rainer did not have a chance to think much. By exerting all the knowledge of his body, he who was still embracing the Princess darted backwards somewhat to the left side.

Almost simultaneously the four long-range attacks arrived at the place where Rainer and the Princess had been. But because the target was lamenting, the four rays continued to slide backwards.

So mercilessly the four ferocious rays massively struck the large, innocent tree behind Rainer and the Princess earlier.

Alrrr!!!

Blaarr!!!

There were two very loud explosions in a row as if to tear the sky apart. The flowers of fire spread in all directions.

While the poor tree was not only broken apart, but was instantly charred like charcoals.

Meanwhile Rainer, who was still embracing the Princess, continued to run very quickly further away from the scene.

Although the scene is out of sight and further away, Rainer continues to run to take his employer to a place that is completely safe.

The Princess looked back. He didn't see the scene anymore and they got further away.

When he remembered Dhafin's actions that almost made him and Rainer almost charred like a tree earlier, immediately his beautiful face darkened following a pair of narrowed eyes.

His anger and hatred towards Dhafin instantly fused within him giving birth to a grudge.

"Uncle Rainer! Why did you run away?" asked the Princess protesting between Rainer to take her running. "Why don't you just fight them?"

"Do you want us to scatter like the tree we were lurking about?" roder snorted in annoyance.

"Reason!" leceh the Princess. "Say you're scared!"

"Escaping doesn't mean fear or defeat, Princess," Rainer explained. "But escape to devise a new strategy."

"If you fight them you will win, Uncle Rainer," The Princess was still insistent.

"If they join forces against us at once, there is no guarantee we will win, Princess," Rainer admitted. "What else among them is the master of supernatural powers...."

"You've seen for yourself, he can send his supernatural powers without seeing the target" he continued.

After contemplating Rainer's words, the Princess then said as if giving an order.

"Then make them all targets of arrest. Especially that damn witch kid."

When the last sentence was spoken, his voice was slightly suppressed. A sign of his hatred for Dhafin.

"Finally you agree with my proposal as well" Rainer said, smiling at the cat.

His cunning nature immediately emanated from the look of his eyes and the pull of his face. Cunning about how his strategy will catch the five magical boys.

After successfully capturing them and presenting them to His Majesty, of course, he will receive great gifts and awards.

While the Princess, since Dhafin continues to be present in his memory, increasingly makes him hate and heartache to Dhafin and his revenge becomes more and more.

★☆★☆

Meanwhile, the five magical boys were still at the scene....

Being affected by the sound of the explosion and the sight blocked by sparks spreading in all directions, they lost track of Rainer and the Princess.

"Damn it!" kelvin was upset. "They managed to escape."

"Eh, for a second," Dhafin said after realizing something. "It looks like you guys were about to kill those two people."

"You don't know who they are yet, Brother Dhafin?" keenan asked in astonishment but with a polite attitude.

"I'm sorry, my experience is still a bit" Dhafin said. "So I don't know much about the outside world yet."

"You guys don't look at me like that" Brian said. "I'm acquainted with this strange boy not even 2 months. So, I don't know much about what I told him...."

"...In recent times, anyway," he continued, "we are not being preached by the court to help eradicate traitors who are plotting a rebellion."

Of course this big news made the three boys surprised instead of playing. To the point that they stared at Brian and Dhafin alternately. As if asking to tell it.

"You don't get me wrong" Brian said, "it's not me who has a big hand in this case. The one who has a big hand is Dhafin. I'm just helping out a little."

"What this strange prince said is not entirely true," Dhafin rebutted at once as if to rectify. "Western cuisine, I'm just a little salt enhancer of almost complete cuisine."

Keenan seemed to be commenting on Dhafin's wise words but Brian was already saying.

"That's it. I'll tell you later. We discussed first about the emergence of the two inhabitants of the Kingdom of Lengkara here."

Keenan looked back at Dhafin with a full glance. He observed the look in the eyes and the look on the easy face of the child who looked so shady and calm.

His premonition says that Dhafin is like hiding a lot of things that he knows. He is still suspicious of Dhafin's confession, who does not know about the two scouts.

"From you're guessing" Kelvin said, "you better explain to Dhafin who the two were."

For a moment Keenan mendehem as if normalizing his vocal cords because he will talk a lot.

"The two men were from the Kingdom of Lengkara. The female or little girl is the Princess of King Bastian Lamont, the illegitimate ruler of the Kingdom of Lengkara. Her name is Princess Cheryl Aurora...."

"While the adult man is the Secret Office of the Royal Palace of Lengkara, also doubles as the Personal Guard of the King's Daughter if Princess Cheryl is traveling. His name is General Rainer."

"Are the Secret Officials of the Palace the same as the Secret Investigative Officials of the Palace?" tanya Dhafin remembered the post of his foster father.

"Different" Brian replied. "The Secret Investigative Officer only performs duties in certain cases according to the rules of office duties of the palace. For more details please ask your father as Secret Investigative Officer...."

Keenan, Aziel and Kelvin looked at Dhafin at the same time. They only found out that Dhafin was a noble's son.

"...The Secret Palace Office was even higher. He carried out his duties according to the direct command of the king, without any intermediary. What the king has given him is his duty. Whatever...!"

"Then General Rainer strayed here certainly in order of duty" Dhafin suspected.

"I think so," Keenan said as if unsure.

"You seem to hesitate, Brother Keenan," Dhafin said as if reprimanding.

"I can't be sure what the job of the man and his employer is until I come here" Keenan admitted.

"Only," he continued, "these two years King Bastian is again eagerly looking for powerful boys to be made Special Forces. And one of our best friends named Jarvis has been caught by his men...."

"...Most likely General Rainer came here in order to find and arrest us."

"And of course the one who told us our place and the time of our meeting was the Jarvis," Kelvin said as if to connect Keenan's words.

All the children there looked at Kelvin. Their minds also guessed just like Kelvin just said.

★☆★☆

"Did Brother Jarvis betray?" dhafin asked carefully, without any intention of accusing.

But apparently no one felt offended from the four boys. Since they considered Dhafin's speech to be logical, there was no element of accusation.

"I suspect Jarvis inadvertently betrayed our friendship" Keenan muttered.

"You mean?" Brian who asked a sign of surprise was astonished.

A year ago Jarvis was caught after he had his last meeting. At the meeting after Jarvis had not come again because Keenan reported that he was caught by his men King Bastian.

They never thought that Jarvis would be a traitor. Because they believe and trust Jarvis must still uphold the friendship between them.

But now Keenan suspects that Jarvis accidentally betrayed him. What does that say?

"Three months ago I was told that King Bastian had an evil witch and a heretical healer and poison master" Keenan said.

"...I suspect an evil witch or a perverted healer has done something to Jarvis...."

"...An evil witch uses her supernatural powers to influence Jarvis's mind. Or a perverted healer lays down a poison that could also affect Jarvis' mind...."

"...So that whatever Jarvis asks about everything he knows, he'll answer it honestly."

Brian smiled at Keenan's explanation as he glanced at Dhafin. He once saw Dhafin using his supernatural powers as Keenan had said of the four traitorous kingpins.

So throw up all their plans of rebellion from their mouths.

"What about Hendry?" Kelvin immediately remembered the fate of Hendry. "Is there any chance he's also been caught?"

"We just wait until the Noble Child Martial Tournament is held," Brian said giving hope. "Hopefully nothing happened to him."

"The emergence of two people of the Kingdom of Lengkara should be discussed immediately, Prince," Aziel said as if reminded.

"You're right, Aziel," Brian agreed. "But this is not the place. They already know where we are."

"The appearance of the Lengkara Secret Office must indeed be discussed immediately" continued Keenan. "Because it does not rule out the possibility of them wandering in the center of the city without anyone knowing."

"Eh, if not mistaken you said King Bastian is not the legitimate ruler of the Kingdom of Lengkara," Dhafin turned to Keenan. "Can you explain why that is so, Brother Keenan?"

"Later you ask Aziel yourself, Brother Dhafin," Keenan said, glancing at Aziel. "He knows better about the background of why this happened."

Dhafin immediately glanced at Aziel. But Aziel seemed indifferent to Brian making a proposal.

"We'd better leave this place soon, Prince."

As soon as Brian agreed, they all left the western border. Earlier they took their horses first at the horse's moor beside the meeting house.

While Dhafin was curious about why the Kingdom of Lengkara was led by an illegitimate ruler. But he delayed first, not interested in asking Aziel now.

But he could have guessed that King Bastian must have taken the throne from the rightful ruler. Just like what happened to the Kingdom of Bentala which was also led by an illegitimate ruler.
