The night in Osaka village feels so cold, especially now that it is raining very hard. All the people of Osaka were in tents and trying to warm their bodies.

Devita himself chose to go around and distribute blankets to the people of Osaka assisted Syracuse.

"Does anyone still get a blanket?" Devita combed one by one the people in the last tent she came to.

"Nothing, Princess." One of them answered.

"If you need anything, come to my tent. Just tell me what you need."

After getting a response from them, Devita rushed to her tent, where there was Agda who was sick. He was very worried about Agda's condition.

When he arrived at his tent, Devita saw Agda sitting while drinking water with the help of France.

"Agda, why didn't you tell me you were sick? If you know you're sick, I should let you stay at Manor with Bang Indra." Devita approaches Agda while babbling. Behind him, Syracuse followed Devita.

"I'm fine, Sirena. Why haven't you slept?" Agda looked at Devita's appearance, who was not wearing Princess Willamette's crown.

"How can I sleep when my best friend is sick?" Devita again touched Agda's forehead with her hand.

In his heart Devita sighed disappointed, if there was a thermometer here, it would be easier to check body temperature. Moreover, the farmos sent by the King to the village of Osaka have died due to being attacked by monsters to make the people of Osaka no longer know who to ask for medical help to whom.

Clings

The intelligence lamp immediately lit up. Devita turned his head quickly towards Syracuse, "Hey, Syracuse!"

'Either why, I feel a bad feeling.' Syracuse stared at Devita's face, "What?"

"Aren't you able to treat someone with your healing magic?"

"Hm, then?"

"Then come with me tomorrow to meet the sick people. I need your magic to heal them." Devita smiled widely, inside her head was already composed of plans what she would do tomorrow.

"There's a condition, Princess Sirena ..."

Devita's smile faded, "Why should it be conditional?"

Syracuse did not answer, he chose to leave after confirming the return of his headscarf.

"Sirakusa, wait!" Devita is chasing him.

Syracuse's steps came to a halt as his arm was blocked by Devita. Syracuse then turned to look at Devita.

"What's the condition?"

Syracuse signals Devita to be closer to him. Devita also complied until a whisper from Syracuse was heard in his ear.

"Married to me."

Devita stiffened in place.

The silence of the forest towards the village of Osaka, heard the sound of horses neighing because they were driven to run even faster.

Athanaxius, the man drove his horse to the waterfall at the foot of Mount Yahrimun, not far from the village of Osaka.

Not long after a while, there is someone who rides a horse and then matches the speed of his horse. Athanaxius grinned at the figure of the man. He thought the figure who was matching him at this moment would not come to meet him.

"YES!" Athanaxius patted his horse so that it would be even faster until he got ahead of the man.

"Thank you for working so hard for me."

"You may as well, son-in-law ..."

Athanaxius turned his head, finding that the person he had been staying with had caught up with him. His eyes looked at the man who was now descending from his horse, then walked up to a metre with Athanaxius.

"May the God and Goddess Vulcan grant salvation to you, His Majesty King Monachus ..." Athanaxius lowered his head in salute.

"I can't linger, so what do you want to talk about?"

Athanaxius straightened his body again and then looked at the figure of the King who now looked closed.

"Regarding Sirena, did you know that she was not Sirena?"

King Monachus smiled faintly, "So because of this you made an appointment at a place like this." King Monachus walked to the riverbank, "What's his name?"

Athanaxius's eyebrows rise next door, feeling strange at King Monachus' question, but before long Athanaxius understood.

"Devita."

The hand of King Monachus who had touched the water now stopped, "Devita?" A faint smile again appeared on his lips. King Monachus stood firm, then put his hand on his back. His eyes stared at the cascading waterfall that fell so swiftly.

"Your daughter's soul is divided, isn't it very dangerous?" Athanax knew it from the red eyes.

"I know, but soon they'll meet and not be divided again."

Athanaxius stared at King Monachus' back sharply because King Monachus did not answer his question frankly. Athanaxius could not linger here because he had to follow to the village of Osaka.

"They? Who the hell are they?"

"Sirena and her twin sister."

The shock was felt by Athanaxius at that time. Sirena has a twin? Why has he never seen Sirena's twin?

"Then, my late wife, Agalia, and I performed a ritual exchange of souls. At that time Sirena twin, experiencing weak heart. There's only one way to keep Irena alive, which is a soul-exchange ritual." King Monachus begins to tell a story that no one knows but him, his wife and the two women he trusts.

"Why do you perform a soul exchange ritual?"

"We did it when they were three years old. Sirena who lived in the Kingdom grew healthy, in contrast to Irena who continued to weaken." King Monachus did not answer Athanaxius's question, saying, "Until the Osaka village elder suggested to me the ritual of soul exchange. But the ritual also involves Sirena."

Athanaxius chose silence. Choosing to listen to King Monachus tell a story.

"Osaka's village chief told me that there was another world far better than the Vulcan world, where there were humans in it as well. Then the Elder suggested to exchange Irena's soul for that of a human in that other world. Just when the red moon appeared, we did the ritual."

Athanaxius scrunched his forehead, "Is there no price for the ritual?"

"Of course there is, Son-in-law." King Monachus now turned, looking at the handsome figure of Athanaxius but not at his eyes. She still loved her life, "When Sirena was eighteen, her soul would come out of her body and be replaced with another soul. That soul is Devita who is none other than Irena, Sirena's twin sister."

Athanaxius did not know what to respond with. The story is so complicated to hear.

"They had to find their own identity, including pulling back another soul that entered Irena's body." King Monachus then took something out from under his cloak.

"You'll know why my late wife and I performed this ritual, other than Irena's recovery from this book." Athanaxius widened his eyes when he received a book from King Monachus which he knew very well what it was. A book of divination, a book that has long disappeared and is highly sought after by the devil worshipers turned out to be in King Monachus.

"Athanaxius, don't tell Sirena this. Let him know by himself."

Athanaxius looked at the figure of King Monachus who was already on his horse.

"Decide carefully who you will marry. Don't change it!" King Monachus smiled and drove his horse and left Athanaxius standing still.
