Kendric fell to his knees in front of the painting of the woman he so highly praised.
"I can't say that his job as Robin was a sacrifice to prevent destruction. I won't be able to see it end-to-end like you, Mother."
His figure is very much missed, making Kendric more destroyed. Kendric still can not accept the departure of both parents. Living and growing up alone without receiving any explanation from the death of his Father and Mother.
In order not to forget his appearance, Kendric keeps a good face painting of the mother whose father painted himself first. True, the fact that Goddess Vernitysha was her mother is never known to all the Gods of Imorrtal other than Selini Thea, Aletha, and Robert.
Even Octopus had no idea that the Sun God Apolleon had previously had a child with Vernitysha. He thought that Kendric was just a novice God who had great luck - receiving the grace of inheriting the title of Sun.
Before getting to know and realizing Lucy's presence. Kendric was much more unethical, and never a single servant at the Apollo-palace lived so badly looking indiscriminately.but at one time, there was no one, he decided to stop falling deeper into the black hole of his past.
Kendric decided to create a new palace across the forest, leave the past behind and try a new life with Mate. Even so he still often visited the old palace just to share stories and complain to his mother-who he himself was aware that the painting would still not be like his mother who can provide a solution and a warm hug as a child.
Just because one waiter who had brought a new painting frame came to Kendric on the fourth floor, there were widespread rumors that he had a longed-for lover. Kendric laughed at the ridiculous sight of it, even risking his head that they would never know who was in the painting.
It was all because they were tired of forgetting what face and what actions Vernitysha took to keep the balance of the world. Kendric doesn't like flies flying around like they're looking for carcasses to use as gossip, so Kendric thinks-kill the flies if you don't want them to pollute your territory.
And as time goes on, rumors develop like a flower, then how can you easily believe rumors that are even still confusing. Really troublesome!
Molie who was still in place, noticed how his Emperor roared the love of the figure of Vernitysha who was none other than the figure of Mother to the Sun Imorrtal. He could not do anything because his task was only to observe the development of these two rulers, Molie approached Kendric.
"You have no choice but to say it, Sire."
"Then do you want to see your Master die like my mother?"
"Although his departure makes me sad, but I'm sure my Lord Daughter won't be like that. And, Goddess Vernitysha just wants her Son to be happy, that's why she left him to the Moon's descendants."
"Curtain! After making me promise to the Humans, and she just left to die, you want me to forget the past?"
Molie watched for a moment the annoyed face that was still stored on him. He could not answer because he was never given permission "I will help the Princess go home, please allow open dimensional magic Your Majesty."
Molie left again following Lucy who had already left the palace with a feeling of pressure. Kendric was still shrouded in feelings of indecision for such a disaster that was far more dangerous than Alabasta herself.

*the*Darkness World
~Lucifer Kingdom's
Lucy is really back, she's stepping on her homeland again. After deciding to become a wild bird that forced itself to escape from a golden cage that was so safe. Now Lucy realized that what she saw and heard, was reality.
Her world is not okay, the slowly dying realm of Darkness World makes Lucy silent, the polluted air demanding Lucy to be fully aware immediately. That the great disaster that his mother said she would soon meet and now really happened in plain sight.
This is far from enough and very bad because the green nature of the land of the night was only adorned with a blackish brown color, as if a shadow devours the world. Lucy walked into the hallway of the palace with a blank look, ignoring how the palace maid saw her who had come without any news.
Lucy's mind was in a mess she needed someone to hear her complaints. The white door in front of him was a link to the living room that he could feel that his family was gathering.
Lucy opened the door. His presence caught the attention of everyone, somehow the situation but this was a fitting coincidence. Where the members of the Demon royal family gathered in the same room.
Lezzy took Sofia down on her lap, walking with great anxiety to see her daughter back without any news coming. Lucy looked at her mother's face as if she was ready to complain with all sorts of tiredness.
"Mother ..," Lezzy grew worried when her sweet Princess suddenly hugged while crying in her arms.
All the families are becoming very concerned and confused, while Aletha is expecting Lucy's sudden return - is it possible because of all Kendric's secrets?
"What's wrong with you, baby?" Fendrick who was more worried about his youngest son became very panicked. "Why did you come back alone? Where's Kendric."
"Dad, Mom, Lucy doesn't know how to respond to this. I don't understand why he didn't tell me that Kendric was actually a God even more so he was his Emperor."
"Indeed, what's wrong if he's a God?" William asked without knowing anything.
"Of course there's a problem. That's because all this time I've always blamed the circumstances by pointing out that the God nation is guilty!"
Lucy's words made all speechless, especially for Lezzy who felt received a slap from her baby. How could he be so hateful when in him the blood flowed Imorrtal as well.
"Why do you think that?"
"Did Brother Welliam know? Before I knew that I was a Vasilissa, I was too stupid to love Harlie growing up expecting her loving love to hope and pray on her behalf, that my Mate would see me. It frustrates me, all my life I've always wondered. Why am I the only one who is not like you? I just want him to say it and why is he only silent when I need that answer? Mom am I wrong?"
Hearing Lucy's words this was still in an awkward situation. Lucy who saw this strange situation became suspicious. "Why are you quiet? Was Lucy wrong for thinking that way?"
Lizzy did not dare look her daughter in the eye. Even Aletha becomes more understanding of what she fears when Lucy finds out.
"Dad, why didn't you say anything?"
"My daughter, you're not wrong. Kendric deserves to be blamed for his lies. But--not with his status of being a God."
The reaction his father gave him was strange. Usually he would be furious, even his brother chose silence. While Mother and Aletha looked very anxious about something. Could it be, "Do you know that Kendric is a God?"
"Lucy, I didn't know you could have that much hate, you could have the right to hate the Imorrtal people because there's no good thing about the arrogant race like them. But will you hate your family and yourself?"
"What does Aletha mean?"
Lezzy grabbing his daughter's hand was also Lezzy's fault of never saying anything about the God nation. "If you hate Kendric, then you can hate me too. Because mom's part of them, Lucy."
"Mother?"
"Your grandmother was a Moon Goddess. The figure of the Goddess who once led Imorrtal as its ruler. In other words, you are also a part of them. Vasilissa's descendants exist because we are part of Seleni Thea, my daughter."
"Then why you never told her, this is why Lucy needs an explanation. Do you think Lucy would understand if she hadn't told you?"
"Mom doesn't know where to explain it because you're too valuable for me to hurt."
"When should you hurt me just because of the truth?"
"Lucy the imorrtal are not as you might imagine, they are too selfish to listen to the groans of the weak beneath them. But that doesn't mean Kendric wants to ignore you either. He just wants to protect you from your destiny of being Vasilissa, so does Mom."
"But that doesn't mean he should just shut up, ma'am? If she says it Lucy will try to understand it."
"Lucy says his biggest secret isn't that easy, baby. You need more courage to reveal it, Kendric knows what he's doing wrong but have you thought about the consequences that could be his punishment?"
"He suffered too, dear. She's afraid of hurting you even if it's just next to you, she's afraid of making you cry even if she's just silent, she's afraid you're getting further away if you get closer. She doesn't really ignore you, she just wants to see you happy-maybe because you're showing more of your feelings to Harlie, she becomes meaningless when her existence is impossible for you to feel. So that Kendric should think of letting you go, he's silent because he believes in your choice despite having to get hurt to see his Eye with another man."
"Lucy look at me, listen to me. Although I was also guilty of being silent on this matter, all because Mom just wanted her baby to have a decent life even though she had to make limits on her play. All because the outside world isn't that good at spoiling you, the outside world is too dark for you to see."
Lizzy felt bad about being a mother because she could not protect her from the cruel fate of Vasilissa, so she also saw her mirror first who always blamed the situation for the problems of a life partner.
"Repeatedly, Mother tried to escape from the fact that Mother had once been in your position-hating their nation just because she felt unfair to what situation she felt. Why do you love someone if the sky ignores the candidate of another partner, whereas he knows that his eye is only one and only he you trust. It's all because of the exam, Lucy. Since the sky is watching, what action would you take if this test were to happen to you.
"Not only you, our Mothers and Grandmothers are in the same position even worse than you. That's why, because he knows that your choice is a waste of your lamp-like figure, Kendric sets out to take what belongs to him no matter what he should look to hate as a villain in the relationship."
"You have the right to be angry with any form of lying that you are told. You have every right to be disappointed at his restraint-like attitude to you, but he won't get as hard as Harlie to hurt you over and over."
Lucy becomes silent, crying out for her disappointment without thinking about Kendric's point of view which may be heavier than her. Focusing on her life's conflicts, Lucy blames someone too much without judging whether she is wrong in the eyes of others.
Life revolves like a wheel, it judges from one's perspective and conflict arises when one's judgment enters his heart and turns it into an endless problem. When you are in control of your emotions can you turn right?
But his current sense of disappointment had become a flame embedded in his heart, he would very well understand if the miss of this communication was solved with the problem of explanation.
"Lucy just wants an explanation from her, Mom. Lucy neither hates him nor blames him too much" Lizzy wiped away the tears of her only daughter.
"Trust me, he will come, he will come back to you, he will gain his own lost trust from you. He'll be more trying to pull you-take you to look at himself again. Because Kendric feels weak when he can't be a good Mate for you."
Lucy begins to feel better, as a mother's embrace can be a remedy to ease her children's pain. When he can be a place of grievance, he will advise until a good solution for him. Lucy also feels guilty, if she used to directly tell stories about Harlie's problems would have been much lighter than at that time.
"Rest my daughter-you need to reflect on this matter. I also hope you rely more on Dad as your shelter when no place accepts you. Because this is where you come home."
Fedrick hugged his daughter, giving a kiss of love to the head that has been very much nurturing the mind. It was as if Lucy could breathe well, as if all the complicated feelings were gone. Lucy is tired of leaning on her father.
...--, -π- ,--...
The day was going very fast. Fortunately some crystals that were successfully planted are still able to fight the miasma of disaster, so the air is not so crowded. Although it must be loved, the Sun and moon will not be able to see because thick clouds cover it.
Lucy slowly regains consciousness, having decided to take a break. Lucy is also finally able to sleep well because three days ago she spent longer in the library.
Lucy looked at her room, the silence and light that was present made everything return to her other thoughts. Honestly, Lucy doesn't want to go home, but Lucy would be very clueless about how to deal with Kendric if she met without any explanation. So Lucy also wants to know what Kendric will do if there is no die.
I hope he really will come.
Lucy got off her bed, after a lot of things she went through it felt like her mouth was so dry because she finished her time by crying too. Lucy intends to call the waiter but she does not want them to see it like this, she also does not like being the talk only because of Mate's problem.
All because Lucy was afraid of being stared at cynically as was the case at the Harlie party. So it would be better if he went alone, it was already midnight. Lucy walked up to the door wearing her shawl.
Tok, tok, tok ...,
Lucy stopped stepping right in front of the door. The sound of the knock made Lucy confused when the figure of the knocker on the side did not say anything.
"Lucy .., it's me."
Lucy stands still as the voice knocks on her heart and stops Lucy from opening the door.
"I've come to apologize properly to you. You don't have to look at me if you don't want to, you don't have to talk if you can't. But I just want you to stay there while listening to all my explanations - My reasons are this cowardly to be able to tell me about Robin."
Kendric, who had come in silent, infiltrated Estell's palace, stood facing the closed brown door. "If you're willing, give me a chance to explain, can you knock on the door."
Kendric is quite anxious, he is actually not sure that Lucy will actually obey him because he knows how angry Lucy is for her actions that have been very outrageous.
Hc ..., Tok.
After 15 seconds, Lucy finally responds to Kendric. That at this time his lover gives an opportunity for their relationship. "Thank you" Kendric said as he approached the door, whispering to Lucy, who was listening, leaning against the door.
"The rumors in my palace are not true. I'm also very happy if you don't believe it, but if you ask me do I have a relationship? Yes, I had a relationship with Goddess Vernitysha, long before meeting you I already knew her very well. Every time I would go to the old palace just to meet him, even if it was just looking at his paintings."
Lucy is more and more intrigued by Kendric's explanation, she listens to all Kendric's words whatever she doesn't know all along. Nervous of what Kendric would say about her relationship with Goddess Vernitysha.
"--Lucy, my relationship with the Goddess Vernitysha, the previous Robin. She was my late mother."
