The Queen of Vasellica Moon's
Rumors of a Relationship!

...I was too comfortable with you, so I forgot the way you approached me with all your lies....

"Stop,"

The baritone voice that sounded resolute and very gallant, faintly disturbed Lucy's hearing.

"Please stop. Vernitysha I said stop!"

Lucy opened her eyes as the voice resuscitated her soul. Amidst the raging lake currents, the swirl of water waves showed some random hints of memory from someone.

Lucy sank deep enough, though she managed to catch her breath well despite having to hold it for long enough. What else is the lake water that should be in the lowest cold temperatures, not so disturbing Lucy. As if what he thought the most was a few flashes of the memory of someone he was looking at inside the lake.

"Vernitysha, don't go. This is Octopus' plan to get rid of you from Imorrtal."

A plea from a man who tries to hinder his lover's desire to go to the human world. It sounded very slippery, and Lucy seemed to be drawn into the couple's second dimension.

Vernitysha's figure twisted his body, facing the lover who is currently seen turning his back on Lucy. So all Lucy saw was the color of her golden hair so bright.

Right by the lake on the border of the Pine and Mapel forests, just like its current location for looking at the moon-Only the difference is in the season, that this summer is enveloping the green plains.

"Vernitysha ...,"

"I have to go, if I stay hidden, Octopus will do something stupid to destroy the earthlings. I can't let it."

"What Octopus wants is your death, for his purpose to be achieved. If you die then what about the Albasta disaster that has been passed off as a message of nature."

Vernitysha looks exhausted in the face of his lover who still insists on holding him back to leave.

"Aren't you aware that my existence exists to obey nature without having any ties to anyone in a relationship?"

Vernitysha stroked the lover's golden mane of hair, "What's the difference with my death when Alabasta arrives? Have you forgotten who I am."

"I won't forget, it's just that I'm going to find another way to keep you alive and we're going back to the palace, where you came home together with-"

"Stop. You have to accept it, however all your efforts will be in vain, because my duty as Robin is death to be able to stop the Alabasta disaster."

Lucy looks silent at what she heard. If he's a Robin, does that mean he has to sacrifice his life to stop the plague and the fallout from the Alabasta disaster?

Is this what other people want to show him? That his destiny as Robin was death at the time of the Alabasta disaster. But Lucy doesn't know anything about Alabasta.

But ever since the dream of Vernitysha's life appeared, the figure of the golden-haired man had always teased Lucy. Because the man looks similar to Kendric, but still can not be ascertained because the man's face was never clearly seen.

Scane transmigrates into Vernitysha's other memories. Where her figure meets a graceful woman with all her authority who is able to hypnotize Lucy, a silver-haired Vernitysha-woman interlocutor with a face that bears a resemblance to her mother (Lezzy).

Is she Grandma?

"Belini Thea, you're my only friend in Imorrtal and a person I can trust." Vernitysha was seen half-kneeling before his friend while crying.

"Tysha, don't be like this. Say it calmly, I'll try to help you."

"I will not be able to survive before the Alabasta disaster. Even though these are all Octopus traps, I can't fight back because they're a human race. You understand it the most, I just want to ask you for help one last time."

"Don't say it like that, you'll be fine. You are Robin to the living, you are like a mother to all the Gods. Imorrtal won't lose you."

"I can't, before the future gets worse. It would be better to give yourself up."

"I can't accept this. He will also definitely not agree with your decision, Tysha."

Vernitysha took off his necklace, he gave it to his best friend. "I'm sure you must have seen the future of the full moon prophecy. As you know, the future has changed. So please listen to my request, give my necklace to your descendants who inherited my title to be the next Robin's successor."

"Vernitysha ..., "

"Tell your son that the morning star will soon meet the sun."

"Are you releasing your Mentari to be paired with my descendants?"

Vernitysha did not answer anything, he just grabbed the hand of his best friend. "Besides Thea, my other last request was-during my execution, don't let her come down to earth and see my death. Because----"

"LUCKY !!"

Samar is heard screaming Kendric who is now down into the lake, trying to grab Lucy's hand, so that the cliche pieces of memory in front of him become lost. By the time he made it to the surface, the coldness of winter just felt real. To make Lucy's entire body shiver and feel dizzy.

Kendric tried to hug her Mate, to help Lucy relieve some of the coldness of the lake water. The thing that makes Kendric panic to fear, when he saw something strange with Lucy's treatment before he finally fell into the lake.

Lucy felt intense dizziness until she felt feverish, while hugging Kendric she looked towards the north. And as he tried to ascertain something, the old Apollo castle that was seen before now does not look anything there.

You're not gonna betray me, are you, Kendric ...

Lucy's vision slowly darkens, causing Kendric to panic and call out Lucy's name repeatedly.

...---o🍁o--...

*Pinus Forest, Apollo region.

On the same day and night, a group of Maideries numbered twenty. Walking through the pine forest with heavy snowfall. They were marching like soldiers following the commando orders to a place at the midpoint of the forest.

Only rely on five small lanterns as lighting in the middle of the night.The twenty Maidery was brought by Sylvia to Apollo Castle. Once every two months, he would bring at least twenty Maideries to clean the huge palace secretly.

But every month someone will lie on his oath to the Sun. Many times the palace servants who should hide the truth with what they see in the palace, always talked about so as to cause their own opinions for other servants or enemies outside the palace.

Luckily Kendric moved quickly, and settled all the traitors who tried to enter the castle without his permission to be killed.

"Uh, it's so cold tonight." One of the servants shivered in the night wind. The maid named Rachel tightened her robe-trying perhaps trying to warm herself.

"In a moment, the head of the Maidery will give the order to enter the palace. Be patient" Rachel's colleague stood next to her while worrying about her best friend.

"Lily, don't you feel cold? "

"I'm used to it. If you think about it, this is the first time you've been chosen to clean up the old palace, yes ..."

"Em, Lily, is the rumor true?"

"Regarding? "

"Apollo Palace, from a senior who once helped clean it. The palace was so creepy, even the senior who told me about the story of the palace disappeared the day after spreading it."

"Rahel, do you still remember the taboo to clean the inner palace?"

"Not to be too curious, must not tell anything that was seen during the clearing of the palace ...," Rachel was seen counting the restrictions she had to obey along with the other Maidery. "And the last one never asks why the palace is still to be guarded even if it is never lived."

"Why? "

"I've never seen it, but he said His Majesty hid a painting of a woman and some speculated that He went to the palace to see the face of his dead lover."

"WHAT?!!----"

"Shut!" Lily hurriedly shut her friend's mouth, holding back the situation from attracting the attention of the other servants. "Slow down your voice."

"Lily are you sure? Doesn't His Majesty have a woman in the main palace?"

"I don't know for sure either, but of the many seniors who have come out-many believe it."

"Wait, that means Princess Lucy isn't the Mate? If the figure of the painting is her former lover, there is a possibility that she is her first Mate. Is it possible that Princess Lucy is actually His Majesty's political partner as the Crown Princess' candidate?"

"I don't know, I can't conclude. It's just a rumour---"

"What are you guys talking about? "

Lily and Rachel were shocked when Sylvia was in front of them. Because of the fun of chatting they did not realize that at this time they had arrived in front of the palace courtyard. Seeing Sylvia's reprimand made them silent in fear and could only bow their faces before her.

"Sorry Lady, we've made a fuss."

Sylvia stared flat at them as she glanced at the servant figure one after another. As if giving a warning so as not to reap to fill in the palace later.

Sylvia sighed, "You all already know the rules. Your job is only to clean the palace to the limit of the designated area. And one more thing, eliminate all your curiosity in any form, Understand?!"

"Good Lady," All the servants answered Sylvia in unison.

"All right, finish your job and come back when you're done." Sylvia left the Maidery's entourage, and at the same time the gate of the considerable palace opened.

.......

.......

.......

Nah!

Rachel placed a bucket of dirty water after she wiped some furniture on the third floor with Lily and another colleague.

"It's quite exhausting, cleaning up the huge palace with twenty Maidery's manpower, it's so exhausting!" Rahel grumbled while sitting on a large chair.

"I'm also exhausted, even though it's been aided by magic, but it's more manna energy-consuming." Saut another colleague.

"That's because we only come from the lower classes. Even so, this includes fast. Moreover, the sun has not fully risen yet." Lily folded the white cloth that had been used to cover all the furniture of the room.

"From inside the palace, this looks very good not even any broken parts. But why did His Majesty choose to set up another palace across the forest?"

"Maybe because he doesn't want to remember his past with his late Mate."

"Sellich regarding that rumor, was it true that he had a Mate before?"

"I used to be told about old seniors, he said he had a secret about his lover in this palace. It's been a long time, probably before you were born." Sellich quipped 116-year-old Rachel, looking young among them.

"Is it possible that Princess Lucy is only a temporary replacement for her lover?"

"Yes, about Princess Lucy. Doesn't he look like he doesn't know anything in Imorrtal, even when he came to us in the back-he looked confused by our conversation that led to him being the Lord Maharaja."

"True, I also never knew there was a Goddess named Lucy as her little name other than her baptismal name. Especially when she was called Princess. As far as I know, only the children of the Elders can be called Prince or Princess as a form of respect to be part of the sacred temple, in addition to the descendants of the Goddess of the Moon and the Sun God."

Lily who saw the three colleagues coolly gossiped about the personal problems of the Emperor, making him worry-fear if anyone caught them failing to save curiosity.

"Friends, you better stop gossiping. Our business is done, it's good that we catch up with the others to return to Maidery's dormitory." Lily changed the topic-diverting them from the belief of a rumor.

"Lily's right, I'm starving enough. Let's go back."

Fortunately they listened to Lily and rushed to get off the ground floor. But while the others were busy discussing other things, Rachel was still very curious about the fourth floor and the golden room at the end of the hall.

"Lily, you go back first with the others. I missed something in the room."

"Alright, hurry back and do not just enter the room. Understood."

"OK," Rachel was silent on the spot while looking at the departure of her colleagues. When they had gone out of sight, Rachel saw the north side of the stairs.

He looked alert with his surroundings, and recklessly walked up the stairs towards the fourth floor.

Just as he had been resting on the fourth floor which looked gloomy and dark. So much dust and cobwebs on this floor, then what to clean if the fourth floor alone should not be cleaned. Did they not engage in how bad the palace in this fourth floor was?

Rachel walked down the palace hallway with a small candle in her hand. At times Rachel coughed in the thick dust, and at some point in the hallway-Rahel could see a large gilded door like the rumors she had heard.

Rachel hurriedly ran towards the secret room, she tried to push the unlocked door with great zeal without realizing the other figure who had been monitoring her since.

Rachel fell silent to the creeps when she realized there was someone behind her, she turned her body slowly and then dropped the light candle in her hand onto the floor.

Sylvia stood looking at the servant who was to once again refute the imperial order not to enter the fourth floor area. Rachel was so confused to explain her current situation to Kepla Maidery for her actions.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sa-me, I-m-terrified Lady."

"On the floor? Don't you understand the rules."

Rachel was confused and frightened, she could not explain well the intention of her arrival in other places. Rahel hastens to her knees begging Sylvia for forgiveness.

"Lady please forgive my mistake, I don't see anything in the room. I swear I won't say anything to anyone else, please Lady. " Rahel tries to ask for forgiveness on the basis of survival.

"I-I don't mind if you don't hire me again in this great Apollo region Lady," Rachel grabbed the end of Sylvia's dress while staring at the palanquin for Sylvia to forgive her and not tell her to the Emperor. "--Lady?"

Sylvia was not a woman who easily showed her sense of empathy to her subordinates who were breaking orders. There Rachel grew increasingly frightened, as Sylvia's eyes demanded anger.

"If that's what you want, then you no longer need to work as a Maidery for His Majesty."

"Do you forgive sa-Eh? " The temperature in the room was turning increasingly cold. The walls and windows or even all the objects in the hallway, slowly in the frozen ice.

"No-I don't want to die. Lady Sylvia please forgive me! I swear I won't say any rumors about this palace, Lady-hiks!" Rachel panicked as her body slowly began to freeze, eroding with a sting all over her body.

Sylvia calmly walked past the defiant servant who was currently frozen to death. "You will be a faithful servant of his oath, when you die."

Rachel's body shattered into pieces of irregular ice blocks, and disappeared as if no one had ever lived as Rachel. While Sylvia closed the gilded door that had been opened slightly due to Rachel's small push earlier, she closed the door by closing her eyes - because other than Her Majesty the Emperor, no one can look into the room without exception even if it is a trusted person though.

"Sylvia, return immediately to Lucy's residence with the Alkemist now!"

Kendric's angry voice mingled frantically from the communication of magic to Sylvia, demanding an order that she should carry out immediately. "Okay, your Maharaja."
