Devita's decision to stay in Osaka for a while did not necessarily make Falco calm even though his sister was accompanied by Athanaxius.

Before actually leaving Osaka, Falco appoints a woman in her forties to become a luster for Devita. Not only that, he also ordered Achilles Aindrea to remain in Osaka with seventy special legions.

"Why does it have to be this much anyway?" Devita stared at the many legions kneeling before her in annoyance.

"Because you are now a member of the Royal family. It's only natural that your brother gave you many special legions to look after you."

Devita snorted, "But not this much either! Ten alone is enough plus there is Bang Indra also here."

Achilles Aindrea missed that call. It felt like for a long time she had not heard the special nickname Devita had given her.

"Don't pout anymore. You should focus on your recovery here." Aindrea chuckled at Devita's still irritated face.

Devita's cute face when upset makes Aindrea can't bear to not mess with the woman's hair. His outstretched hand he paled when he saw the sharp and warning gaze of Athanaxius.

'You dare touch her again, so I break your hand!'

Maybe that was the danger signal Aindrea caught. He then turned to stare at the legion who was still loyal kneeling in the front yard of this house with his stern gaze.

"Twenty of you are in charge of protecting this house as well as Princess Irena. The rest spread out throughout the village and help the people of Osaka who need help. For the guard at the village gate, I want ten men on guard. Understood?"

"WE GOT IT, ACHILLES!" say the special legions at the same time.

"Then you're safe to work. Stay alert and don't let your guard down!"

"WELL, ACHILLES!"

The legions immediately stood up and saluted Aindrea then to Devita and Athanaxius before completely disbanding.

Aindrea faced Athanaxius and Devita. There was actually one question he wanted to ask but he was doubtful.

"What's wrong?" Athanaxius asked who could guess the look on Aindrea's face.

Aindrea was a little jolted in shock because Athanaxius was paying close attention to it as it turned out.

"I want to ask you one thing, do you know how Adelphie is doing? Upon awakening from the influence of Queen Amanita, I heard the news that Adelphie had come here."

Athanaxius and Devita looked at each other. How do you explain to Aindrea about Adelphie who's gone?

"Three days in a row I dreamed Adelphie was smiling at me waving her hands as if she wanted to go far." Aindrea lowered her head to hide her change of face.

"We'll talk inside, not here." Take Athanaxius and lead Devita slowly into the house.

Aindrea could only follow the two of them with various thoughts raging in her head. Could something have happened to her boyfriend? Aindrea hopes Adelphie will be fine

Arriving in the living room, Devita invites Aindrea to sit in a chair and then tells her new luster, Hera, to make drinks for them.

"Do you want a direct answer or a small talk first?"

"Hm?" Just as Aindrea was sitting down, she was already given a choice by Athanaxius.

Plaques

Irritated by Athanaxius, Devita accidentally hit the man's arm a little hard. Couldn't Athanaxius let Aindrea take a deep breath before hearing from him?

"Enh, hehe ... Is Bang Indra hungry?" Devita wants to make small talk first. In contrast to Athanaxius who actually snorted loudly.

"Tell me now, Dev. I'm gonna hear everything about him." Lying Aindrea. Hopefully what he hears is good news that does not require him to be breastfed.

"He's gone." Athanaxius.

Devita was short of breath in his place because of the actions of Athanaxius who was so honest and did not want to mince words first. Devita glanced at Aindrea who was similarly shocked.

Although painful, but the news of someone's death is not a trivial thing that must be preceded by pleasantries. Athanaxius knew how the pain was, and he felt the moment he saw Aindrea who was downcast hiding her cries.

"Take him off and stay alive. That's why he met you in a dream up to three times." Athanaxius.

"Well how's this thing going?" Aindrea's hoarse voice so moved Devita's heart. The man showed me a velvet box and then opened it. A gold ring with three sparkling diamond eyes was visible.

"Keep it well. Don't give me that thing when you meet the man who stole your heart later." This time it was Athanaxius who dominated the conversation.

"Then ... Where did you put Adelphie in his final resting place? I wanted to visit even if I only met a mound of earth."

Athanaxius rubbed the back of Devita's hand and made her look up at Athanaxius. The code that Athanaxius gave was understood by Devita.

"Actually Irena knows how Adelphie's death happened. I was told by Irena that Adelphie turned into golden dust that flew into the sky."

"Gosh ..." Aindrea scooped her face in frustration. Adelphie's death was unnatural for him. How could an ordinary human like Adelphie turn into gold dust after his death?

"Adelphie is the Zifgrid in hiding. I think you should know this fact so as not to think strangely about it."

Athanaxius, Devita, and Aindrea turned towards the door where Syracuse stood. The man then walked over to join the three of them.

"Adelphie gave away the gemstone of his life for me." Syracuse recalled the incident where Irena helped him, "I was dying, and Irena helped me with the gemstone I had to swallow. After swallowing the gemstone, I saw all the things Adelphie had experienced during her lifetime. I also know that Adelphie gave up the gemstone of life voluntarily."

Aindrea was like a fool who knew nothing now. How could he not know the fact who Adelphie really was? All she knew, Adelphie was a Princess but not for the Zifgrid.

"I don't understand ..." Aindrea's mind was in turmoil.

Syracuse could not bear to see Aindrea who was upset in her grief. So he decided to put Aindrea to sleep.

Devita witnesses how fragile an Aindrea is and everything is because of her love. Love is so powerful, Devita admits it.

'May love always be there for the broken hearted.'

...-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-...

Heavy rain fell right after nightfall, an atmosphere that is so fitting to rest the body after a day of activity.

"It's so cold tonight, do you want hot chocolate?" Athanaxius asked after putting Devita in bed.

Devita nodded, "I want to."

Athanaxius smiled, "I'll make it for you myself, wait a minute."

Devita quickly restrains Athanaxius' hand, "Don't go!" Devita's feeling is bad. Devita looked around her room that was dim because the light of the candle was not as bright as the light on Earth.

"What's wrong?" Athanaxius reflexively looked around Devita's room as well.

"Stay here with me." Pinta Devita without saying that she was being watched.

"Something bothers you, hm?" Athanaxius stared at Devita.

Devita nodded. It seemed that his face explained the unease he was feeling without having to tell Athanaxius.

Athanaxius closed his eyes to find out Devita's uneasiness by detecting this room.

'Death to you, troublemakers!'

'DEATH!'

The white wing of Athanaxius came out and spread wide until it struck something that was about to approach the two of them.

Brugh

Athanaxius hugged Devita in his arms. His wings also covered both of their bodies.

"It's not really over yet." A thin sneer appeared on Athanaxius' lips as his eyes managed to catch the dark figure in the upper corner of this room.

"What's not really over, Athan?" Devita knew nothing because she was in the arms of this man. Athanaxius did not let him see what was happening now in his room.

"I'll protect you, you don't have to worry." Athanaxius landed a brief kiss on Devita's head before attacking the dark figure.

Spring

Magic attacks come in many directions like the rain that is falling tonight. The magic attack was black magic which came from a mysterious figure.

"Who attacked us? And why isn't anyone coming to help us, Athan?" Sirena asked frantically as her body was shaken from the black magic attack. Luckily he and Athanaxius were protected by Athanaxius' white wing.

"He killed Irena, her name is Jaguisa."

"Who is Jaguisa?" Devita seemed to have heard that name.

"Right hand of Queen Amanita, a King of the Shoemaker Kingdom."

Devita remembers now. During a visit to the palace of the Alphard Empire, Emperor Jericho once alluded to the name for his brother's suspicion of worshipping the devil and the truth was revealed now.

"Do I have to cast the nature summoning spell again?"

"Don't do anything! Just stay close to me, in my arms, then you've helped me." Athanaxius said with a serious look.

"But I don't want to burden you, Athan ..."

The attacks from Jaguisa intensified until Athanaxius occasionally had to flap his wings to smash the black magic that was relentlessly attacking.

"You haven't fully recovered yet, I can't let you get hurt again."

DUARR

The sound of explosions was heard so loud that it came from Athanaxius' counterattack that Jaguisa bounced away.

Athanaxius flapped his wings to make himself and Devita fly not too high towards Jaguisa who was wrapped in black smoke.

Devita who was in Athanaxius' arms could only see what Athanaxius was going to do to this man.

"Just like this is your power that even makes your face disappear?" Athanaxius looked down at Jaguisa.

This was the first time Devita had seen someone's face as empty as a vacuum. Will the devil worshipers become like Jaguisa?

"Devil worshipers are willing to do anything to exchange their desires, including losing their faces" explains Athanaxius as if he knew what Devita was thinking.

Then Athanaxius took out Devita's Roseworld sword which he carried everywhere.

The moment the Roseworld sword was taken out of the scabbard, it emitted a red glow as if it was active and ready to kill. Not everyone can use the Roseworld sword. The Roseworld sword will feel light when held by the person chosen by the sword itself.

"The Roseworld sword exists to destroy the power of the devil ." Athanaxius slashed his sword at Jaguisa.

Jleb

Roseworld's sword pierced Jaguisa's heart so deeply that it pierced through Jaguisa's back.

"ARGHHHH!!! HOTS!!"

Jaguisa's echoes of pain were very deafening to Devita. Unable to do so, Devita covered her ears with both hands while closing her eyes.

Athanaxius stared contentedly at the dying Jaguisa, "Go peacefully to hell, Jaguisa." With ease Athanaxius pulled the Roseworld sword back from Jaguisa's body.

"Ughb ... " Jaguisa's moaning softly as a result of the sword. He looked up to see Athanaxius.

"I-I'm a-I'm dead, I-know shit! W-worshippers i-devil s-like me shall never perish h-up to nan-"

Jaguisa's speech was interrupted along with her death which turned into black dust and then disappeared unceremoniously.

"May peace and tranquility always accompany every human life ..."

Devita opened her eyes when she heard Athanaxius. Devita was surprised when Jaguisa's figure was no longer there.

"Where's Jaguisa?"

"Hell."

Devita blinked her eyes many times as she looked at Athanaxius' relaxed face as she replied to his question. On Athanaxius's face there was only calmness as if his fight with Jaguisa had never happened.

"Is it all over? Is our enemy really gone?"

Athanaxius chuckled softly before touching Devita's forehead, "The enemy will continue to exist for as long as we live, Amore. That said, not everything is really over. Evil and good are born together in every second, we can never count on it in the future."

Devita was amazed by the words of wisdom that came out of Athanaxius' mouth. Devita then embraced Athanaxius, "You're right, we can never guess what happens in the future."

"But there's one thing I can think of in the future."

"What's that?"

Instead of answering, Athanaxius kept silent and made Devita again look up to see Athanaxius.

"You." Athanaxius gave his best smile. The man then lowered his face towards Devita's ear and whispered, "You are my future."

Devita is at a loss for words. Who taught Athanaxius to speak so sweetly? How many times has Athanaxius kept him silent and ashamed at the same time?

Despite this, Devita hopes that in the future she will continue to be with the person who loves her always.
