Lucy closed the book in her hand a little rough while slowly throwing it on a nearby table, frustrating her spending three days in a row in the library. Even he came out just to take a break to release his sleepiness in his room residence.

While sitting by the window, he brews his favorite tea himself by including some Cellon flowers, as a sugar substitute that has a fragrant aroma that calms the mind.

Lucy sipped the warm tea and looked back at the reading room in the library; there were too many books she had collected until they were scattered in a mess. Lucy had only read 87 books in three days, but none of them had anything to do with what Lucy wanted to find, if you want to see one-on-one everything will definitely not be completed within a week.

"Was the disaster never written as a form of history?"

Molie approached Lucy, he sat down while leaning on Lucy-germanja to be elus by his Daughter Lord, while playing Molie's soft fur, which was a soft feather, Lucy looks to be pondering-staring at all the things that at all times come in turns, the messages that make her dizzy.

Ever since she decided to leave Harlie, everything seemed to change and all forced her to look at what she should have known long ago.

But this puzzle puzzle is so heavy for him to digest, if all the clues come in a hurry. Lucy is tired even she no longer knows who she's going to say all the crazy things that happened to her the last few months.

"Hufts. I can't give up. This is a very important situation. It would be best if I asked Sylvia for help to find some other books regarding disasters, curses or such."

"Where do you want to go Princess?"

"I'm going to see Sylvia."

"Maybe Sylvia was in His Majesty's office, since she usually replaced Her Majesty to take care of some palace administration and other purposes."

"Right as well, Sylvia was the butler. Then, come on Molie," Lucy goes to Kendric's office.

The location was not too far from the library, he only needed to pass through the garden that connected with the spacious backyard and there would only be one residence that stood firmly in the middle of his snow field, so it won't be hard to find him.

The rows of palace guards, standing within two meters of each other filled the right side of the hallway and the left. This certainly makes Lucy a little uncomfortable, maybe because Kendric's workspace has valuable documents so it is closely guarded.

This made him a little overwhelmed because he was allowed to enter the room just like that. But Lucy's trying to refocus her goal on coming here, anyway she's not gonna steal anything from there.

Upon Lucy's arrival at the door, the four bodyguards guarding the side of the door immediately knelt down as a form of respect for Lucy. Seeing that, Lucy simply nodded awkwardly and hurriedly entered after one of the bodyguards opened the door for her.

With a sense of relief Lucy re-entered the room while observing the surrounding environment. If you think this is the first time he came to Kendric's workspace, although it has been allowed for a long time but it would be very strange if he met Kendric while he was working.

Lucy does not want to be reckless like her brother who instead moves the table and work files to Aletha's room, just because it can not hold the shinders. Wellh, even though he was also very eager to see how Kendric worked must have been very charming as well.

Lucy circled around the large room by having various room doors around her. One room after another Lucy entered but Sylvia still could not meet.

Lucy did not give up she continued to walk around the room until out the balcony with Molie who just silently followed each step walking.

"Huft," Lucy's breath could be heard complaining from her ripe lips. It seems that Lucy has given up, she is seen sitting casually in Kendric's work chair because only that position is closest to her.

Seen; occasionally Lucy massages her forehead. That's because these two days he can't sleep well and almost 16 hours he spent in the library. Lucy observed every item on Kendric's desk, it's been three days but she hasn't gotten any messages from Kendric.

Are the borders in an emergency? So Kendric was late to preach it. Though they are still in the same region but it feels like this heart is so far away with him.

"Did Kendric rest well last night?" Lucy in her boredom.

But instead will enjoy the silence that makes him reminisce about the presence of Kendric. Molie actually messed it up, he accidentally dropped some items from the table near the wall, due to the flickering tail is quite long and strong.

Lucy immediately regained her senses and moved from her position toward Molie, "Molie are you hurt?"

"I accidentally touched the stuff."

"It's okay, we can fix it. Next time be careful here, there are too many documents that have been arranged on schedule, I'm afraid to hinder Kendric's work."

"Sorry Princess." Molie looks sad.

"Hey, I'm not scolding you."

Lucy rubbed Molie's soft fur with great anxiety. He returned to tidying some books and small furniture on the table, until all his attention was fixed on a cloth that fell and covered with other items.

Lucy picks up a cloth that turns out to be a handkerchief with an engraving of Lily's flower embroidery. His memory goes back to the moment Kendric accidentally wrapped his wound with a handkerchief that was so similar to Harlie's.

"Mr Princess, has something happened to you? I heard a commotion, are you okay?"

The voice of the bodyguard so loudly diverted Lucy from her mind. In a hurry Lucy cleaned up all the items that fell on the table as well as her handkerchief. For fear of causing excessive anxiety, Lucy went out to the bodyguard just now.

"Sorry, my fox accidentally smashed something inside."

"Are you sure no one got hurt?"

Lucy shook her head, "i'm fine."

"Alright, please beware Princess."

"Okay, thanks for the advice."

Lucy gives a formal greeting and then goes to continue her goal to find Sylvia, because currently Sylvia is not in Kendric's workspace.

...---, 🍁 ,---...

Still on his quest to find Sylvia's whereabouts. Lucy went around almost half of the entire palace, she had already asked the servants and guards she met right away with. But the direction they showed was always nil because Sylvia immediately rushed to go elsewhere.

Lucy had also tried to summon him using magic as usual but the result also did not get a response. Lucy was exhausted herself. He scratched his head because he was confused about where to look, should he go back to the library?

"No, I want to see him now!"

Lucy was piqued by the commotion of a group of servants talking about something in the backyard. Due to being too focused on looking for Sylvia, she was now until she was unaware that her existence had reached the Maidery dormitory which happened to be not far from the park where she often rested.

Lucy takes the initiative to approach those who seem to be experiencing a problem. The Maidery who realizes Lucy's arrival-soon may be silent.

Lucy could see that there were seven Maidery women, with six other maids looking anxious and the other one trying to hold back her crying which could be seen clearly that the maid was very angry mixed with sadness.

The atmosphere became more awkward when the seven maids did not pierce Lucy's question because they looked scared to say it.

"-I'm sorry to bother you, if you don't know, I'll look elsewhere."

Lucy turned around, walking away from them. But one of the servants held Lucy to the point that the woman knelt pleading with him.

"Princess is sorry for my indecision, but-but I beg very deeply to you. Please help me meet with His Majesty, I just want to say that my friend is not worth killing-hicks." The woman was crying so much.

"I know exactly his attitude, Rachel is unlikely to enter the fourth floor area. Rachel, Rachel is a good daughter-hiks. So please give him back, I've been waiting for him for three days. But Lady Sylvia instead said she was gone for breaking His Majesty's orders!"

Lucy seemed confused by the situation, what the servant said was completely incomprehensible.

"Sorry for Lily Putri's disrespect, we'll take her to the dormitory soon. You better go back----"

"No! I will tell you everything Princess, because of the truth that His Majesty has covered. Princess Lucy you've been lied to-hiks."

"Lily stop, do you want to die at the hands of His Majesty?" Lily's colleague Sullich tried to hold Lily back from leaking the taboo they had to keep.

Fearful of Kendric's threat, they forcefully take the rebellious Lily while yelling to Lucy that Kendric is hiding something from her.

"Stop!" Lucy's voice commands the seven servants not to leave. "Tell me, what do you know! "

The six maids behind Lily were silent in fear, while Lily ventured forward facing Lucy who was trying to digest from this matter.

"Daughter, in the middle of the pine forest there is the old palace of Apollo. Every two months His Majesty orders the Maidery to clean it up, but we are forbidden to go to the fourth floor of the palace-it-"

"Lily is enough" Sellich tries to stop his partner despite Lily's indifference.

"- Does the Princess know why only the fourth floor is banned?" Lucy was silent because she did not understand.

"Because on that floor there is a room that holds a painting of the face of Mate Sire who has died. Rumor has it that His Majesty has a lover whom he loves so much that he still visits the room several times just to contemplate his passing."

Lucy's body was slightly pushed back hearing a speech that made no sense to her. He tried to deny all the words of this servant.

"Daughter knows too, that the palace often takes its toll just because of the curiosity of the servant who tried to see the precious face. They had to die at the hands of Lord Robert and Lady Sylvia, as a form of punishment. Anyone! If anyone enters the palace, His Majesty will forcefully finish off the dissidents - do you know about the Princess' cruel side?"

Lily repeatedly let out all her annoyance. He was too depressed with the departure of his best friend-Rahel. So he said everything about his assumptions about Kendric's figure to Lucy.

"Why do you keep saying Kendric is a Maharaja? Wasn't he just a Danke. And also why should Robert's aide you call God?!"

Thousands of questions just popped into Lucy's mind. While the servants before him only looked at each other as if their assumptions about Lucy who did not know anything that Imorrtal was the world of the Gods.

.......

.......

.......

Funny running very hastily towards a place to convince something. He did not care about the guard's eyes and the whispers of the servants who saw his attitude that looked less authoritative.

But Lucy no longer thought about the etiquette of the noble princess. Yan being worried was every word of the servant that kept filling his mind, as if he was haunted by a question sentence with a definite answer - that Kendric was hiding his identity.

"His Majesty is not that low to bear the title of Danke. He was the Emperor, the Sun for Imorrtal and a King for the Gods."

"You should know this, for even the whole land of Imorrtal knows-just hearing his name, can recognize him as the greatest and highest God in Imorrtal."

A lie! Everything they say is a lie!!

Lucy climbed the steps and down the corridors of the palace, staring straight at a brown door that seemed to be getting closer. The door that will connect it to Kendric's workspace.

"He was His Majesty, Kendric Athananysous Helios. The Sun God who wills the heavens under his control and the master of his destiny, all living things."

BRAK!!

Lucy broke down the door without waiting for the bodyguard to open the door for her, let alone wait to be given the opportunity to salute just no. But here Lucy is at the peak of her frustration and curiosity.

"Whose daughter is---"

"out. I don't want to talk to anyone!"

The bodyguard looked a little frightened as he looked into Lucy's eyes looking angry. But what became his focal point was the color of his eyes that at first glance seemed to turn into red. Unwilling to take the risk of resisting, the bodyguard bowed respectfully to Lucy.

"Then I will stand guard at the Princess' front door." The guards came out of the room.

Lucy and Molie live there. Lucy looks close to the table that she previously settled, reaching for a handkerchief that became a mediator as a form of answer from her current curiosity.

Since Harlie is the King of the ocean, Lucy makes a handkerchief for him a little differently. If it is true that this belongs to Harlie, and if the cloth is wet with water, it will appear a carving of the name of the owner. Because Lucy once added the sap of mahogany flowers belonging to the Fairy, as a birthday gift decades ago.

Lucy walked out of the balcony, if not mistakenly remembered there is a miniature fountain as a decoration. And sure enough, according to Lucy's memory, that it was true there was a fountain. No need to think anymore, Lucy immediately put the handkerchief into the water container.

Hopefully he continued to pray as he bit his lower lip, that whatever the servant said was a lie - all just a stupid assumption!

"Don't, no name-" Lucy shut up in disappointment.

Lucy's wiggle grabbed the handkerchief in a tremble, as a name just popped under the lily's knit. He seemed to have trouble regulating his breathing, his two savier eyes back to drain these tears - the pain was back in stoppages, the tightness that had almost killed him first, now back to hunt him.

"- There must be something wrong with the water. No way, this is not a name ..., name--hiks!"

Lucy tries to deny it; that all will be well, if she believes what she believes. However, to be responded to like anything, the name listed there is indeed the name-Harlie Monachol Neptun.

Lucy gripped the dress firmly with the handkerchief. The sobs of crying that he could not stand sounded very prau. He believes the waiter named Lily was mistaken to recognize someone, mistaken for Kendric's attitude as if he was playing tricks on him.

"The man I love, must not be a god Maharaja. Kendric-Hiks, there's no way I'm going to play with my life." Lucy still with her trust.

"- Right now King Harlie's condition is not okay, after the event he's increasingly acting strange even occasionally injuring himself."

"I admit to being wrong-but please don't give your heart to another man Lucy."

Lucy's cries get louder as she realizes that whatever feels awkward to her-for this long, is indeed intertwined. He has been told many times but Kendric continues to cover it with various kinds of attention so that he does not realize it quickly.

Molie approaches Lucy while paying attention that her Daughter Lord still has her to believe. There was only one more place to justify all the stupid assumptions he accepted today.

"Molie get you find Apollo's palace in the middle of the pine forest?"
