That night, a senior commander stood in front of Yuna and her father, followed by the other five warriors in the back, with each befriending a long spear in their hands. They were all wearing black robes. It is very shiny when the candlelight hits. He showed me a letter from classic parchment paper that had been rolled up and written in a neat manner. With an official royal stamp in it that is striking. With a serious facial expression, the senior commander looked at Yuna who looked surprised.
Kingdom Commander: "As a guarantee for your family members to be safe, His Majesty the King asks you as his guarantee!"
Speak to the commander with a firm tone of voice and focused eyes.
Yuna: "What?! Why suddenly..?"
Yuna replied in shock, until her eyes opened wide. His heart suddenly stopped. The hands he clenched looked trembling.
Yuna: "But, I already said that I will definitely pay for my uncle's mistake, by paying a ransom to free my uncle! And the government approved it, didn't it?"
Obviously Yuna with a face full of anxiety defended herself for thinking about her father's safety as well.
Kingdom Commander: "No! Decisions have changed and are absolute! The decision that has already come out of the mouth of His Majesty the King himself!"
Said the commander as he rolled up the parchment letter. Sounds light delivered, but firm.
Kingdom Commander: "And His Majesty the King decided to take one of the members of this family to be his guarantee. Or do you want your father to take your place? What about that thing? You think you'd agree to that?"
The commander said as he looked towards the face of Yuna's father who had been behind Yuna's back with a face full of anxiety.
Yuna: "What..? Dad..?"
Yuna said in a weak tone full of shock that filled her head and chest.
Yuna: "Please..! Don't take my dad... I will do..!"
Yuna's sentence sounded a little pressing even though she herself felt so scared.
Instantly, Akimiya, Yuna's father held tightly onto her daughter's arm with a face full of anxiety. Grasping it with half the energy. He did not believe his daughter's words.
Yuna's Father: "Yuna... Did you really sacrifice yourself? You don't have to do it..! There must be another way without sacrificing yourself..."
He heard her soft voice. Akimiya can imagine her life without her beloved daughter, since her wife died a few years ago. And will he lose his only family tonight?
Yuna could only bow, turning that sad face away from her father without answering the question.
Yuna's Father: "Master Commander... I'm begging... Don't take my daughter... He is the only family I have... Didn't the royal party already approve my daughter's request back then? There must be other ways than bringing my daughter, right? I'm begging you..!"
Akimiya sounded increasingly anxious. Even to the point of having to force his body to kneel before the commander of the kingdom. As his father, he did not want his only daughter to be taken to the palace to be made a guarantee.
Yuna: "Father... Please, don't do that..."
Yuna said in an anxious tone and was sad when she saw and responded to her father's actions to kneel beside his father's position.
However, the man with the thin beard shook his head. Closing both of his eyes briefly. And looked at them again with a straight look.
Kingdom Commander: "I'm sorry. It was already a decision from His Majesty the King. We came because of His Majesty's order..."
A different tone of voice is heard at the end of the sentence. So even with the eyes of the high-ranking man, it looked a little soft. And instantly, his tone of voice again sounded resolute.
Kingdom Commander: "Let me re-explain it here. It is true that the kingdom has accepted your choice to redeem the freedom of your family members. But, His Majesty the King had changed his decision two days later. Because of your uncle's actions, young girl! Which really has tarnished the name of the kingdom. And the impact, the neighboring kingdom began to doubt the bond with this kingdom in the future in all aspects! And His Majesty the King also knows that you are the daughter of this family. So His Majesty the King wants you to be the full guarantee. That way, your uncle will be free from the death penalty!"
Hearing all those explanations, Yuna could only fall silent. Yuna understood that she could not avoid the truth. Although Yuna was not very familiar with the affairs of the kingdom, but about what her uncle had done was a mistake in the kingdom. A truly detrimental impact.
Yuna ("However, he was right... I can't possibly let them take my father as his bail... This is for dad, too..").
Inwardly Yuna said as she looked towards her father who was filled with anxiety.
Kingdom Commander: "Here, I can personally understand your feelings. But on the other hand, we're just carrying out orders from His Majesty the King."
Yuna felt the gentle side of a royal commander before her.
Yuna started to feel worried. Moreover, that this was an order from a King who indeed had power over the village of Yuna's birth completely. It has become a royal territory. Especially at this time, his family had to face the unexpected reality. It was a fatal mistake that his uncle had made. So that it can tarnish the name of the kingdom in just one day.
Yuna's Voice: "Once again she's right... I have become a guarantee that my uncle can be immediately released from the death penalty... In the end, I sacrificed myself... What makes me sad is... I have to part with my father... The only family I have in this world..."
Yuna: "Alright... I am willing to be that guarantee. If that means saving my family..."
Yuna had already made up her mind, though she delivered it in a soft tone of voice yet filled with anxiety. Slowly lifting his face. Akimiya is shocked by the words of her own daughter. Akimiya immediately hugged Yuna.
Yuna's Father: "No..! Yuna, don't do this to your father... I'm begging you..."
Akimiya almost cried in an embrace. He embraced the body and wrapped his other hand around his daughter's head. Bringing his daughter's body into a tight embrace.
Yuna returned her father's embrace. A hug that doesn't want to feel loss.
Yuna: "I have to do it... I did it to protect my father too. I'm sorry..."
Yuna cried when she had to say it for the safety of her family.
Yuna's Father: "Dad understands..."
Said Akimiya who was getting sadder as her daughter was sincere with her decision. Akimiya let go of that hug. Then, he lifted up and looked at the face of his beautiful daughter with eyes that had been soaked in tears. Then wiped away the traces of tears left on Yuna's face that she loved so much.
Yuna's Father: "If it is your decision... Dad, here... Can only pray for your safety..."
Akimiya forced her face to smile, but her sadness was mixed between the smiles. Yuna felt even more sad to see her father smile, until her tears flowed back. The palace commander walked slightly closer to the two of them. He has to do this.
Kingdom Commander: "I'm sorry if I had to be presumptuous at a time like this. But it's about time we have to bring your daughter in now. So wake up you two."
They both stood from their place.
Kingdom Commander: "Come, Young Miss. It's time. Prepare the horse carriage! We're leaving!"
The commander passed before and out of Yuna's house. Followed by other soldiers who have been ordered to prepare a horse carriage to travel far.
Yuna was still silent. Dissolved in sadness. He understands his decision. But on the other hand, Yuna had to leave immediately. Leaving his home, leaving behind his memories even the toughest is having to leave his father. Yuna lowered her face.
Yuna: "I'm going, dad..."
Yuna's Father: "As I said, I will always pray for you... Take good care of yourself..."
Yuna : "..."
Yuna momentarily fell silent, not replying with any more words because her speech felt increasingly confused because of her sadness, even though she actually wanted to reply to her father's words. With a heavy heart, Yuna finally stepped on her feet and walked out of her simple home, her birthplace, which was filled with many happy memories.
Outside the terrace of their house, the commander of the palace had stood in front of the open horse carriage door. Looking towards Yuna.
Kingdom Commander: "Come fast. We don't have much time anymore."
The commander's words this time sounded slightly softened. Persuading Yuna to get on the waiting horse carriage. Yuna nodded slowly. And he came near the horse-drawn carriage waiting to be filled by a passenger.
While Akimiya could only stand in the doorway of her house. Watching the moments of his daughter's departure, and whether they'll ever be together again. His heart certainly felt pain from having to watch the scene that night. It felt like he wanted to prevent Yuna from leaving. However, Akimiya cannot do much more than continue to keep her promise that will always pray for the safety of her beloved daughter. Dilemmas and sad moments for a father.
Suddenly, a young man came running up to Yuna. But his intention was blocked by two soldiers who confronted him quickly.
Young Man: "Yuna! Don't go..!"
Said the man with a gasp of breath, hoping that Yuna would not leave out of anxiety. Yuna was surprised to recognize the voice. He immediately turned his eyes to the source of the familiar voice.
Yuna: "Sasouke..?" ("Why should Sasouke too.?")
Said Yuna who was surprised by the wide-open eyes due to Sasouke's arrival that night. A young man who was the same age as Yuna. He is also a friend who was always together during his childhood. Yuna was surprised at how Sasouke knew this.
Sasouke: "Yuna, don't go... What about your father? Your pals? Are you also going to leave me..?"
Sasouke asked with an anxious face, even when in the last sentence it sounded very sad.
Yuna: "I'm sorry, Sasouke... I've got to do it... For my father's sake, including for your sake..."
Yuna explained and tried to convince Sasouke, with no intention of giving any explanation. Because it will only make him sadder.
Yuna: "Please... Watch my father..."
Pinta Yuna was his last wish for Sasouke. Yuna feels like she will never be able to see Sasouke or his father again for a time that she does not know the limits. Yuna turned her face away and immediately entered the horse carriage without looking back. And the Commander shut the door of his chariot.
Sasouke was surprised. He tried to break through the guard of two soldiers who from the beginning of his arrival directly confronted Sasouke. But the warrior was stronger than Sasouke.
Sasouke: "No! Yuna! Don't leave! Unhand me! Please, don't take Yuna away..!"
Sasouke looked very anxious. His hand was eager to reach the horse carriage. Stopped it. But it is difficult, because it is not able to penetrate the guard that prevents it. Sasouke did not want Yuna to leave. Because then, he will also at once lose his first love. Sasouke kept trying harder. Still can't.
Kingdom Commander: "We're leaving!"
Commandant's orders were firm. Then ride on his brown horse.
Kingdom Commander: "Street!"
The Commandant's follow-up orders. He and the horse carriage started moving. Drawn by a pair of large white horses by the coachman's order. Stay away from Sasouke who tried hard to penetrate the guard. Stay away from the simple house. Stay away from his father who can only watch with a face wrapped in trying to withstand his sadness.
Nicky: "Yunaaa! Come back..! I'm begging you..!"
Sasouke shouted in a sad tone, until it sounded hoarse calling Yuna's name several times.
The guards of the two soldiers suddenly loosened. To give Sasouke a gap. Sasouke tried to run as fast as possible. Prevent the horse-drawn carriage from taking away his first love. But suddenly, Sasouke was blocked again by one of the soldiers riding a horse. The horse was ordered to block Sasouke by standing between his legs while kicking his front legs. The horse made a loud and loud neighing sound. As if ready to attack Sasouke.
Sasouke. Until he fell, then made self-defense from his left arm. Hoping for the horse and its owner not to attack the weak Sasouke. He can't imagine the worst thing that will happen to him tonight.
Suddenly, the horse returned to normal standing on all four legs. Like jumpy. The animal snorted by letting out a heavy and loud breath. He nodded and swiped his toenails covered by a special iron shield on each leg of his horse. It causes little sparks due to hard friction. The ground was also scratched due to the friction of the iron armor on the horse's legs. It is inconceivable that the example of scratches on the ground, also occurred in some parts of Sasouke's body.
Until the horse was finally able to calm down, because the rider can control it fully. Which turned wild. Is Sasouke able to feel relieved at this moment? No. gabe. When the spear tip was right in front of his eyes.
Kingdom Soldier: "Stop here! If you still want to live! The last command of the Royal Commander - Sir Renzo! Do not try to resist the King's decision! Stay where you are, young man. Think about your safety too. Let's go!"
The soldier on the horse immediately left Sasouke who fell on the ground. Followed the two soldiers behind him by running, following the horse carriage that was far ahead.
Sasouke could only be silent. With the body still sitting on the ground. He may be relieved not to be hurt. But the toughest part is Sasouke has to see Yuna leave. Sasouke looked so shocked. Depicted sadness. His chest felt pierced, the pain felt up to the top of his heart until squeezing his left chest. His breathing is irregular.
Sashauke: "Yuna..." ("Why..? I haven't even been able to express my feelings to her, if we hadn't... Never see you again..")
The regretful Sasouke also said sadly. Those tears just flowed. He regretted not being able to stop Yuna and was sad because he had not been able to express his love. This would probably be his biggest regret.
As for Akimiya, her body fell to the ground. The cry he held for that long, finally came loose. So sad when he had to accept the stinking reality of that night.
Yuna's Father: "I'm sorry, Yuiri... I can't protect our daughter... Really am... I'm really sorry..."
Akimiya with her tears. An apology to his beloved wife.
「 Journey To The Varrzanian Palace 」
That night, the journey began.
Yuna's Voice: "The more I stay away from my father... I feel like I'm losing myself more and more... How will I be in the future? Can I still be with my father again?"
Yuna's tears flowed from her eyes. Passing through her cold, pale cheeks. A few drops of it fell over the clenched skin of his hands. Then Yuna wiped away her tears.
Yuna's Voice: "Anyway... I don't want to, I have to do it for my family. Especially to protect my father. If it means sacrificing myself... I have to survive... This is my final decision..."
Speak in his heart. Yuna tried to strengthen herself.
The journey still continues in the middle of the night decorated with a full moon that is so white and bright. Passing the path that is indeed an access between the village of Yuna's birth and the central area of the kingdom. Twice through the forest area, and more through the open field area until the last pass through a large cattle farm. Their journey was also not too difficult because it was helped by the light of the full moon that night.
Yuna looked out the window from inside the horse carriage. He knows one by one some spots that have been passed. He felt further away from his village.
Yuna's Voice: "It's getting further and further... I think it's time... I won't be able to come back..."
Suddenly there was a knock 2 times from outside the right horse carriage.
Kingdom Commander: "In a moment, we will enter the central area of the kingdom."
There was a half-loud pitched voice from outside the horse-drawn carriage telling Yuna who was inside. Hearing the Commander's explanation, Yuna became increasingly convinced that she was now very far from her village.
「 To The Varrzanian Palace 」
Until finally, they reached the central area of the kingdom, after passing through a large iron gate also high. The one opened after the 100-meter horse carriage was seen by the watchtower. The horse-drawn carriage slowed down and stopped. What the hell is going on out there? Yuna heard a conversation. Yuna did not dare to look even though she had a slight look on the back of the Commander who had just descended from her horse. He was afraid that his actions would be considered impolite.
Guardian Man: "Sir Renzo! Where did you just come from? What's in this horse-drawn carriage?"
Kingdom Commander: "Ruled by His Majesty the King. We just came from Rashvarrina Village. Bring in someone His Majesty the King asked for, tonight too. A guarantor."
Guardian Man: "Ah, so it seems. Is this related to the case of a man who was also a district commander, who was supposed to be put to death?"
Kingdom Commander: "I'll tell you it's true. But more than that is part of His Majesty's affairs. We better not interfere much. Because His Majesty the King himself will decide his fate."
Upon hearing that last sentence, Yuna was very surprised. Eyes widened. He had difficulty breathing. It was as if his chest was pierced by a sharp object quickly. His face was downcast and anxious, sighing heavily.
Yuna ("His Majesty the King himself will decide my fate.??")
Kingdom Commander: "We all just have to keep working to the maximum to restore the good name of the kingdom. Especially after the incident happened. It is not surprising that advisors to generals are so possessive."
Guardian Man: "Okay, Commander! I understand! Then please continue with your work. Make way for Commander Sir Renzo and his chariot!"
The young-sounding guard also gave directions. And the horse carriage again walked towards the palace area.
Accidentally, the guard saw a slight figure inside the carriage through the window of the carriage, as it passed the guard who had just spoken to the Commander. The figure of Yuna who only lowered her face, was slightly visible when the light from the torch entered into the dark room of the horse carriage. He observed and without commenting. But as it turned out, the young guard felt a hint of sympathy for Yuna's figure.
It still had to travel a little more before it would finally arrive at the palace. The palace that only Yuna could see from her village. And it never occurred to him to go to the place where a mysterious known king lived there. Until finally, they arrived right on the side of the palace building. The horse carriage stopped. Yuna could feel it. The horse carriage door was opened. The Commander looked at Yuna from the outside.
Kingdom Commander: "You can get out."
Yuna got out of the horse-drawn carriage that had taken her away from her birth village. Yuna felt surprised by the large and tall size of the entrance. Coupled with the lighting from the torch fire that illuminated the palace that night. It turned out that the palace looked much bigger than the picture. For a moment, Yuna looked at the height of the palace walls. Makes his heart more anxious. But Yuna must not cry and be afraid anymore. Even though it was in his heart, that sadness still accompanied him.
Yuna's Voice: "This is me... Standing in front of the palace wall I never thought of coming to him... I never imagined I would experience something like this in my entire life... Where I am today, I am not just admiring the great wall... But also waiting and listening directly to my next fate, from a king I've never met in my entire life..."
Kingdom Commander: "Come with me. I'll take you to see His Majesty the King."
Yuna woke up from her short daydream that momentarily worried about herself. Yuna nodded slightly, upon hearing the Commander's invitation. They began to enter the enormous and magnificent palace building. Even at night like this, the palace felt mysterious. Without any lighting. Everything's dark. Just relying on the light from the full moon that night. The Commander walked in front. Yuna continued following the Commander's steps. Try to focus a little because the open hallway is dim.
They will eventually pass through a long hallway. It seems to have entered the palace building. With many large and tall windows lined up on the right. All the white curtains were open, so that the light of the full moon could enter inside and illuminate the dark path of the passageway. It looks more mysterious. Yuna could see a full moon that looked big and white from those windows all the way.
Yuna felt something awkward, after passing through the open passageway area. Why is this palace so dark? And they didn't turn on any lighting in the room. Except those outside the palace. For a moment Yuna wanted to ask the Commander, but Yuna was too scared. And chose to be quiet and follow the Commandant's direction.
The sound of footsteps from his black armor The Commander sounded so clearly loud. Breaking the silence of the night in that palace. Yuna looks resigned. He couldn't think what would happen to him later.
Until finally, they arrived at a double closed door guarded by 4 adult male guards. The door had an engraving with an emblem that Yuna did not understand. They managed to stop their steps. In front of a closed room, Yuna begins to feel that from here the beginning of her fate will be determined.
Kingdom Commander: "Side where it belongs."
Yuna's premonition was right and strengthened after the Commander made it clear.
Kingdom Commander: "Open the door!"
Command of the Commander. His stern voice broke the silence. The door was opened with the power of 4 adult men. Is the load of this door that heavy that it should take 4 adult men? The sound of the door opening made Yuna start to creep. There was a dark room in front of him. But still helped by lighting even though minimal. Yuna's heart started pounding. It was as if he had just felt a cold wind so piercing through his entire body and nerves, that he swallowed his saliva.
Kingdom Commander: "Come in. His Majesty the King is waiting for you. Only up here do I deliver you, the Almian King just wants to see you in person."
Said the Commander while looking towards Yuna who was behind him from the start. Yuna was immediately haunted by fear when she heard her final explanation. His heart is pounding ever more. This time Yuna had to do it alone. Yuna had to move her legs to enter the dim room.
However, Yuna still did not dare to enter. He looks scared.
Yuna's Voice: "My whole body is shaking while in front of that dim room... I'm really scared... I felt something scary in there... It's hard to back off now... I could have run away from this place... But my family's safety will be threatened... Or maybe just let my uncle be put to death, so that my life with my father becomes calmer... I might choose the second option if I start to lose my mind and my feelings..."
Kingdom Commander: "This is the last thing I'm telling you, get in this room right now. Don't make His Majesty wait too long!"
A clear whisper from the Commander that felt as if it was piercing Yuna's hearing in the silence.
Kingdom Commander: "Think, this is for the safety of your dear father..."
The Commander again made it clear in a caring-sounding tone, while holding onto Yuna's tense shoulders. But the armour-lined hand felt not so heavy as it landed on his shoulders. Yuna actually felt a little warmth through the hands that must have experienced many battles everywhere. Yuna's face was down. His chest became tight as he repeated the Commander's words when he mentioned his father's name.
Yuna ("Dad..").
After Yuna could muster a bit of courage, she began to move her legs. Took him into the dim room in front of him. Hope nothing bad happens.
After entering it, the door was closed, the air felt cold instantly. The sound of the door is so loud. Reverberated throughout the room. Yuna this time was in the midst of darkness. At once, Yuna's body felt stiff, but she had to keep walking. He felt that this room was so big. Yuna looked around. Although all the angles he could not explain because of the lack of lighting. His steps slowed down and stopped. Yuna felt more anxious. It was as if something was watching him among the darkness. Suddenly, Yuna was startled by the voice of a light, firm-pitched man echoing.
Yuna ("I feel like something is watching me..").
Man's Voice: "Why do you stay there? I know you're there. Never dare to make a King wait."
Yuna: "Huh?!" ("Did he just say King? Don't-don't this sound..")
Yuna was so shocked and immediately turned her gaze towards the source of the voice. It was as if Yuna's heart was made to stop beating after hearing the sound.
Then from a distance, the sound of footsteps echoed. It came from a darkness that was not far from before Yuna.
Man's Voice: "I know, you're scared. Isn't it hard to walk? Then let me come to you. As a real man does."
The sound of the footsteps became clearer, closer and closer to Yuna. Then there was a red light along with the sound of the footsteps of the shoes. The figure grew increasingly visible as the light from the dim lighting in the room began to shine on this mysterious figure. Yuna started getting more and more frightened. A feeling of heat and cold enveloped his body. Everything feels stiff and tingling. Yuna was sweating coldly. Yuna wanted to close her eyes because she was too scared. His hands clasped together in front of his chest.
Yuna's Voice: "My fear grew stronger that night... I can't move... Not even a single word can... Will this be the end for me? If it's true that I'm going to meet the end of my life, I can at least protect my father... That was the last thing I thought about at the time... And maybe after that, I can leave quietly... But it turns out, it wasn't that easy when he came to me..."
The figure is getting clearer. The closer he got, one by one, the lighting in the room turned blue. Eve the room instantly became drastically changed. A tall man was seen, wearing a royal robe with all-black color and his attributes sparkling. His hair was slightly long and black, the ends covering the nape of the back of the neck. Part of her front left side hair was slightly long, faintly covering her bright red glowing eyes. While his right eye confirms the striking bright red color. His two bright red eyes, looked towards Yuna with a cold expression. He stood before Yuna who was downcast while closing her eyes in fear, his body was trembling. They are only 5 meters away.
Red Eyes Man: "Why did you close your eyes? Don't you know who I am now standing in front of you?"
Yuna: "You... Is His Majesty the King..."
Yuna answered him with a nervous and fearful tone.
Red Eyes Man: "That's right. Then why did you close your eyes? I am your King, I ask you to open your eyes and look at me. I promise I won't hurt you one bit."
This mysterious man sounded coaxed with his soft and light voice. But Yuna was still too afraid to accept the request.
Yuna: "Ha-Hamba is not able to..."
Yuna's voice was filled with fear. He still chose to survive like this.
This red-eyed man smiled cynically. Suddenly, this red-eyed man started walking around Yuna slowly. Yuna could feel a gust of wind as the man passed by her. Yuna felt her body getting creepy.
Red Eyes Man: "I'll tell you something nice. There is one rule where no one should look directly at the King without ethics. And that's considered a serious offense. His punishment was a whip 200 times! Doesn't that sound painful? I'm sure you won't try, will you? Hehe!"
At the end of that sentence, this red-eyed man delivered it right beside Yuna's left ear, while gently brushing Yuna's long hair. It ended with a sadistic little laugh. To make Yuna surprised and increase her fear power. The man continued to circle Yuna.
Red Eyes Man: "And I gave you one special exception. This room is just you and me. I want to see your eyes. So fulfill my request now."
The red-eyed man was already back facing Yuna.
Red Eyes Man: "Bless your face, open your eyes and look at me. Your king is in front of you now!"
Pint the red-eyed man again with a little soft but firm.
Yuna: "Ha-Hamba stays... Can't do... Forgive me for my leniency, Yes-Your Majesty..."
Yuna looked insistent out of fear. But hearing that rejection again, the red-eyed man looked a little furious. Discontentment. Suddenly, both of his red eyes glowed even more red. Sharper as he looked at the frightened Yuna.
Red Eyes Man: "Don't argue! I command you, open your eyes and look at me!"
The red-eyed man's orders were firm. Yuna felt something that had suddenly gotten into her. His eyes opened spontaneously and his face slowly lifted. Everything is out of his control.
Yuna ("Why am I moving on my own?")
In the end, Yuna's face lifted. And stared at the red-eyed man before him without any gap to blink. Yuna's mouth opened slightly in surprise. It is hard to scream for help. Which is now only 2 meters between them.
Yuna felt a great shock as she stared into the red eyes of the man. Yuna felt something she could not describe, yet was terrifying. Not like a human. The red-eyed man started to smile but not a sweet smile, but a sneer depicting a Devil. The impression made this man look even more sinister behind his handsome face, light-spoken and noble-looking. As if, this man was eager to eat Yuna alive.
Red Eyes Man: "Isn't that better? You first saw the face of a King of the Varrzanian Kingdom, the successor of King Vrannver, and the previous King. And as you heard. You are the precious assurance I ask for. And you will soon find out how I will decide your fate!"
Said the red-eyed man with a slight lift of his chin, then tilted his head slightly and rejected his waist. Yuna was surprised. Terrified. At that time, Yuna was under the control of the King. He could not do much, even reply to the King's words, as if his vocal cords were conjured.
Yuna ("Will I die to protect my family.??")
The King approached Yuna who was still in her control. Touching Yuna's left cheek gently. And bought it with feeling. But to Yuna the touch was cold. The grinning face approached while whispering something.
King of Red Eyes: "No, you're not going to die here. Just chill. You'll live for one purpose."
Yuna surprised. It seemed like the King could read his mind. Eye contact with the King is inevitable.
King Of Red Eyes: "You will understand the real reason why I asked you to be your uncle's guarantor that I should have sentenced to death! I'll tell you that you're more than a guarantor! You'll understand it someday."
His facial expression turned a little soft, yet it was still frightening to Yuna, even though the King conveyed it in a gentle tone.
When the King blinked once in his eyes, Yuna suddenly went limp. The influence of his control disappeared. Makes Yuna's body staggered. He was unconscious and almost fell to the side.
All of a sudden, as if having teleported quickly, the King had already managed to hold Yuna's fallen body unconscious. He had to kneel down to support Yuna's body. Holding his head with the corner of his hand. The King momentarily looked at Yuna's unconscious face. A smile was on his face. A Devil's smile. Sweet yet scary. The king said one sentence in a different language. Is that a magic spell too?
Suddenly, the silence broke as a sharp soft-pitched female voice rang out between the darkness.
Woman's Voice: "Don't use your controlling powers too often. Or he'll die sooner! He's just a very weak ordinary human being."
King of Red Eyes: "Do you want to come here? My sister's. Did you come here out of curiosity or just to criticize me?"
The King turned to the source of the voice until he mentioned the woman as his sister. The king did not seem to like the arrival of his sister.
Sister's King: "She's just an ordinary human being. Are you sure that he was the one referred to in the divination of the Gods 50 years ago?"
The King's sister walked over. Only a short distance away from the King's silent position. His figure looks vague, because of the dim condition of the room. A woman wearing formal noble clothes with one side of the back extending, only covering the back. Black gloves. Skinny pants and boots below the knee. Everything is black. In addition to crystal stone accessories that are red decorate the formal clothing part of his chest. Jewelry earrings hanging, look so shiny, also red. A satin black scraf coiled around his neck, forming a ribbon knot embedded in a luxurious red crystal brooch. His hair looks as black as that of the King. Long, shiny and wavy in the style of a ponytail tie. Looks charming, very graceful and has its own charisma. Both eyes are red. It looks bright in the middle of the darkness. Now he stands with his arms folded in front of his chest.
King of Red Eyes: "I'm so sure! But unfortunately, I can't be sure now."
Sister's King: "What if it's not this girl? What are you gonna do? Finish him and then look for it again?"
Said the King's sister who was feeling doubtful about Yuna.
King of Red Eyes - "Humph! I told you everything would be answered later. Keep looking at the moon's rotation axis. Until the time comes!"
The king smiled cynically at his confident remark.
The King's sister breathed a long breath. He felt his brother was going to cross the line. Although about the events that will happen in the future it is a very important thing for them, especially for the King.
Sister's King: "You're overconfident, brother. Yes, we are still waiting for that precious moment. But I just feel like you're going to do something I can call unnatural actions with that girl. Don't forget, he's just a guarantor. Not your subject."
King of Red Eyes - "Humph! I acted unnaturally? Is it really what you think?"
Sister's King: "Or rather, do something strange and crazy!"
King of Red Eyes: "God! Anything I would do for him. If you have to do it your own way, why not? As long as I can get what I want!"
The King smiled as he looked at Yuna's unconscious face, and was not affected by her sister's criticism.
Sister's King: "Aah! It's up to you!"
Said the King's sister in a ketus tone.
For a moment, the King's sister noticed something different with her brother. The way of seeing the unconscious Yuna in his arms was an unnatural demeanor in his eyes. Not because his sister was jealous. But he believed that something had happened to his brother. The sister watched for a moment Yuna who had been unconscious since. He felt something from the young woman.
Sister's King ("There is something mysterious about this young lady. Something that is not just the same as darkness or that God has foreseen. But there's something bigger than that. Who is this girl?")
The King's sister turned around and immediately left the two of them. Without commenting again. He chose to see his progress.
After only the two of them were in the room, the King still looked at Yuna's face. Like admiring something. Then, the King took out a piece of deep red ruby and placed it on Yuna's forehead. Instantly, the ruby stone reacted, shining and making Yuna's entire body give off a slightly concentrated red aura. The aura is black. This creates a mixture of red and black. What happened to Yuna?
Seeing this, making the King's facial expression surprised but there was a sense of satisfaction in his eyes that widened. It was as if his experiment had succeeded 100 percent. The King inhaled the aura deeply while closing his eyes. Until he lifted his head up. He breathed out through his slightly open mouth. Her canine teeth just looked elongated.
King of Red Eyes: "This is what I've been looking for all this time!"
The King grinned. It's a cruel voice. His Devil expression appeared again. Staring at Yuna with her two red eyes that glowed even more red. He felt the satisfaction of what he had just done.
Then, the King began to lift Yuna's body. With the support of both hands. Leaning Yuna's head into her chest. Then start to leave. Instantly a red aura began to envelop the floor and make a trail.
King of Red Eyes: "Finally! My wait will be over! It's time! Everything will be answered more clearly after the appearance of our moon phase! Hehe... Ahhaha..!"
The King's laughter was so echoes. Sounds terrible. The door to the outside of the room opened by itself. The King walked out of the room with the Devil's grin. The black red combination aura from Yuna's body still looked active. When the King came out, the door shut itself hard. Like being covered with a very strong force by force.
What is Yuna's next fate?
