The Queen of Vasellica Moon's
The Sun Reluctant to Greet the Moon

"You've been advising me a lot, after becoming a mother huh? Just get pissed off." Kendric.

"I'll take it, as a compliment. Besides, that's my job as Senate advisor to the ruler Imorrtal." Reply Aletha with a smile.

"You're now a fugitive, not a God's Senate trust anymore."

"Look at your heartless attitude! I feel sorry for Lucy, for having to be the partner of a monster like you."

"Hey, watch the word----"

"Mama!" Sofia screams for Aletha while running towards them, followed by Lucy. "Mom, look at the Camellia flowers Sofia collected for Papa."

"Don't run, you can fall." Greet Aletha while rubbing her daughter's face with dirt stains. "Mama, let's go see Papa. Uni Lucy says Sofia should visit Papa once in a while in her study. So that Papa doesn't fall ill from work fatigue." The five-year-old daughter kept tugging at her mother's dress to approve her wishes.

"alright. Now say hello to Uni and your Uncle." Pinta Aleta's.

Sofia approaches Kendric and Lucy in front of her. "It's going to play again soon?"

Lucy nodded, "yes."

"Hem, play it not for long. Sofia so misses the Union and is very lonely if there is no Union. Good-looking uncle, too, should come here more often to play together with Sofia. Because Sofia loves Uncle."

Kendric sat half crouched in front of the little princess. " Uncle listen, Little Winkly likes to play with animals?"

"Yes, they often become Sofia's interlocutor when they are alone. Sofia will meet with three friends Sofia, yes."

"I can't wait for that day. But, because Uncle will leave and can't visit you sooner. Uncle wants to give you a gift. He'll be your friend and protector."

"Protect Sofia?"

"Of course, because Uncle doesn't want my Little Winkly to be okay."

"In that case, where is the prize? Sofia can't wait to make new friends."

Kendric gave a small black gemstone to Sofia. The little girl looked astonished, as did Aletha and Lucy.

"This is called the soul stone, or Soul Of Life." Kendric.

Aletha instantly remembered. Soul Of Life was born with a powerful magic boost overflowing from its Master. If the lower-ranked Gods did not have the impetus of their manna forms, they would usually use soul stones as a reference to neutralize their magic. So that their Soul Of Life can only be formed.

It is possible that Kendric wants to provoke Sofia's magic that has the blood of the Goddess, so that she can form her own Soul Of Life.

"The stone will turn into an animal, depending on what you want it to be. You just need to imagine Little Winkly's favorite animal."

As if I understood what Kendric was saying. Sofia complies and begins to imagine an animal. Slowly the black stone began to show cracks on its surface and gave rise to green rays from the cracks.

Sofia gets even more interested when something tries to come out from inside the rock-and it turns out that a butterfly that has green wings is sparkling very beautifully. The butterfly began flying around Sofia and alighted on a tiny finger, as Sofia tried to touch her.

The butterfly, which looks like a natural jewel, succeeded in making Sofia amazed. "Look, the butterflies are pretty similar to the ones in Sofia's dream." He said in his laughter.

"Dreams?"

"Yes, Sofia often meets butterflies in Sofia's dreams. He said the butterfly was coming to see Sofia to play together."

This was the first time Aletha had heard of this. That's because Sofia never told him, Aletha does know the special talent Sofia has in dealing well with various types of animals. Moreover, the butterfly had a manna aura that was so familiar to him.

"I did not expect that the stone would turn into a butterfly. I thought I'd be a bat because his father's a shitty Demon."

"What kind of thought is that?"

"Just Assumptions." Reply Kendric to Licy who glanced at him with goosebumps. 'Well, let's just say, this is also a form of guilt.'

"Uncle, what's the name of this butterfly?"

"That's up to you. He'll be your friend and protector, so Little Winkly herself has to give him a name."

"Em, what if Talitta. Right, Sofia will call him Talitta." exclaimed the boy.

"Thank God, Uni is calm now. If Sofia now has a friend ready to protect you. Hem, but Uni's sad because Sofia will play with him more often."

"Eatya Uni soon return later we play together."

"Alright." Lucy looked back at Kendric. "We should also go back, I'm a little tired today. Especially tomorrow must pass through the dizzy dimension again."

Kendric and Lucy stand up, they see Aletha. Seen Aletha seprti staring homesick with the type of butterfly.

"Sister, we're going back to our residence."

"Yes, you must also be tired from going around the Festival all night."

Lucy saluted and walked out of the greenhouse first. But just as Kendric was about to leave, Aletha kept looking at him as if asking for an explanation of the shape of the Butterfly that was exactly the same as hers.

Kendric was lazy in such a stare, so he glanced at Aletha. "It wasn't Hugo, and the butterfly was indeed connected to his soul. But it wasn't me who called her, but it was Sofia's own instinct that wanted her. Hearing the story in Sofia's dream, it's possible that she really wants to protect him as her redemption first. So, you don't have to worry." Obviously Kendric briefly, then just walk away.

Aletha looked back at the green butterfly that flew towards her as if she was greeting her after a long time. Aletha smiled, again she got another unexpected gift.

"I hope you soon give birth to my niece who is as beautiful and powerful as you are, Brother Aletha ...."

Aletha laughed with great relief at all the dark memories of the past. He brought the butterfly closer to his face.

"Please help me take care of her, Tahlia ...."

The butterfly flew back to Sofia. While Aletha stared at the closed door, more precisely staring at the departure of the two lords of the sky.

"I believe you will always stay together until the end. O my Maharaja and Maharani."

...--.o🍁o.-...

Lucy and Kendric take a detour to Castle Estelle. That was because on the main road there were many noble heads who came to discuss a meeting held by Welliam.

It seems like Welliam decided to discuss disaster beyond their control sooner. Because the Alabasta Eclipse is not something that should be underestimated.

Welliam's decision was also the right one. Ever since Welliam met Kendric that night, he was getting excited when Kendric said to send his subordinates to the forbidden forests of the Vampires, who have been in for almost 5 centuries. Though there is one building relic Carlitos when Katastropi used to kidnap and hold Lezzy.

And as a result, after Briant went there he found some notebooks on Albasta. Although still uncertain because some of the writing became opaque due to inedible age, fortunately there is still little information in the book. Since these were the initial plans of Octopus, they certainly did not write down in detail, starting from the beginning of the eclipse process until the end of the eclipse.

So to make preparations, three months early is the best, though not so accurate, path to a major disaster.

"She looks very busy. What exactly did you do to brother, so he became so active?"

"Hem, you're right. The name of the ruler is yes.must be busy in working on his problems. Father also so, thankfully they included a responsible Lord, instead of casually indistinct." Lick Lucy.

While Kendric who heard it felt insinuated. He was the only emperor whose life was very relaxed in the affairs of the palace, all his work was always operat to Robert.

Even to be able to attend the meeting at the grand convergence only 2 times he came to her. It was after he took over the throne of Imorrtal. 'Don't let Lucy know' that's what Kendric thought with misgivings.

Lucy tries to focus on the environment around her. If you think the south palace hallway he never passed again. There is a sense of public as well as miss with this place.

Wait, if not wrong this palace hallway to one of the castles where he lived as a child. Before Lucy turned 10, she lived in Castle Litch. With her instincts, Lucy suddenly led the way and walked closer to her childhood Castle.

"What is this place? It's not Castle Estelle." Said Kendric who has since continued to follow Lucy's steps.

"This was where I lived when I was a kid, before Dad gave me Castle Estelle as my 11th birthday present."

"Ha.., I feel so missed. Ever since moving residence, I've never been to this place again." Connect Lucy while feeling the Castle wall made of marble.

Although this Castle is unmanned, but thank God this place is still very well maintained. Although actually for Castle paint should be explained a little. Lucy continues to walk through her childhood palace to the mini garden area behind the palace.

Lucy's steps slowed down when she saw a very old beaar tree still standing there. Tree branches that do not show flower buds or leaves, leaving a nostalgic impression on Lucy's mind.

Kendric glanced at Lucy as she began to approach the tree while touching it. Does he remember?

"Lucy-"

"Kendrick. I'd like to introduce you to my little friend."

"Friend?"

"Actually, I can't say best friend because I've forgotten this tree for a very long time."

"......."

"Since that incident - why do I always come to this tree. I don't really remember the reason I kept coming to spend my time playing under the tree. Either because of the shade or the sunlight that is visible from the slit of the leaves is so very beautiful for me to look at. But it felt like I was waiting for something.

"........"

"If it's not wrong then I was 7 years old and so very non-compliant with my mother. So that I do reckless things without being a waiter or a guard." Lucy continued to stare at the bald tree standing very gallantly on top of the pile of snow. "It feels like I want to go up again ...." Bemelih Lucy.

"If you want to go up, go up. Come here I will help you to climb this tree."

"What?! Wait, I'm just talking. Actually i-kyaa-me!!" Lucy screamed as Kendric took the initiative to hug her waist then in one jump, they managed to cross each other on top of a tree. With a stand on a tree trunk that is still sturdy, even though this tree looks old.

"Ke-kendric," Lucy looked a little nervous, to the point of clutching Kendric's clothes very firmly.

"What's this about? Are you afraid of heights?"

"Bu-not so. Actually when I was a kid I fell out of this tree."

"Are you hurt?"

"No-no, because Brother Welliam came to my aid first. At that time I was very surprised to fall from the top of this tree, so I-I had a little trauma when I climbed up the tree."

"Don't worry, there's me holding you. I'll make sure you don't fall."

Lucy, who had looked frightened, slowly calmed down. Not because the position is safe, but Kendric's speech sounds very familiar. Slowly he looked back and raised his head to look at the face of Kendric who never let go of looking at him.

...---...

..."Can you, Lucy asked? Is brother the prince sent to pick me up?"...

..."Well then, quickly grow up Mr. My daughter ..."...

...---...

Uh! What was that? Lucy holds her head, as she crosses an alien memory in her head.

"Lucy, what's wrong with you? Should we just go down? Looks like my joke's gone too far."

"It's okay, I'm fine. Sitting up here is also very nice, it seems like I have started to calm down. Don't worry," Lucy began to sit carefully while playing her dangling legs.

Now it's Kendric's nostalgic turn, because it's been a while - he can finally sit alone on this tree with her. The only difference is their age difference.

"Lucy, may I know why you climbed this tree?"

"Of course, that's because Molie couldn't come down from the top of the tree. I was 7 years old, so worried and thought that calling the guards would not have time, because Molie kept howling. So I'm gonna go up in the tree."

"Other than that?"

"others? There seems to be no other word than. Because Molie's the only reason I fell out of a tree. Worse yet after I found out, I was locked up in my room to reflect on my mistakes, for about 5 days."

Hearing that Kendric's mood felt back down, while Licy was astonished by the change in Kendric's expression that seemed disappointed with his answer. Is not his speech right?

Lucy leaned her head against Kendric's shoulder to fill Kendric's bad mood. Mumpung is still in the conversation, about how is Molie?

Karen Molie is asleep for winter hibernation. Lucy decides not to take him home. Kendric said he would go back to Apollo.

"I miss Molie."

"Hold, we'll be back tomorrow. I'm sure Molie would have been up by then."

"Eyeah, Kendric. When we get back to Apollo, can I meet Tyrsha and the other holy spirits? All this time I've been paying attention and it seems like they don't exist in Darkness World other than the Fairy."

"Lucy, I actually don't like you getting too familiar with him."

"Why? Tyrsha is a beautiful fairy."

Kendric hates when Tyrsha steals Lucy's attention. "Anyways, if he says anything related to Robin's story. Ignore it, she's the kind of fairy who likes to lie to people."

"Then anyway? I don't think he ever lied."

"If I tell you I'm lying, you're a liar. Understood?!"

"I-iyaa," Lucy looks awkward hearing Kendric's orders. "But how can you think like---"

"Shut up and go to sleep, you need rest after a night of not sleeping." Kendric snapped his fingers.

And Lucy began to feel a heavy drowsiness - she staggered back down. However, Lucy did not fall down but immediately lay on her bed complete with clothes that turned into pajamas. It's because Kendric's teleportation authority controls space and time.

Kendric grabbed Lucy's hair, looking at Lucy who had fallen asleep. Then slowly, with the permission of Kendric. The day that should still show the time of day, began to turn into night.

As if he was able to control day and night at will, the sun did not dare to fight and still chose to drown the light in the western horizon. Make it easy for the night to accompany the moon princess to fall asleep.

"It seems, I still need time to be able to tell the truth." Kendric stopped playing Lucy's hair. And walk towards the window, looking at the night sky that never changes.

"Now, I want to see. Where has the poison tormented him." The smile of the sacarstick changed at the corner of his lips, his two red eyes that seemed to be penetrating the gaze-imagining someone who was tormented at the bottom of the ocean.
