"Can Lucy ask? Is this time brother coming to bring gifts like before?"
"No."
"Are you really a knight?"
"Not."
From her innocent face that was so innocent, the little princess smiled while laughing. "Then is brother the prince sent to pick me up?"
"Pick you up?"
"Hm! Mama said, The Prince will pick up the Princess to be able to live together. After seeing Brother like a prince to Lucy, and it doesn't look like a palace guard."
"Look at this, you're still imagining. Didn't you say the prince came from the ocean, but I'm not a part of them."
"Sister didn't come from the ocean. But big brother was a figure of a prince who came from the sky. It says Vasilias in my fairy tale book is so handsome and like the night sky. But since sister always comes in the morning, Lucy will assume the sun sent sister to Lucy. The god to ilialo fos must be granting Lucy's prayer."
"You're too early to talk about Mate. I'm worried about your academy teacher. Are you still imagining?"
"Lucy wasn't imagining. Lucy told me Lucy wanted to be Vasilissa, so that's her sister's gonna be Vasilias." Little Lucy pointed at Kendric, which surprised her. "Lucy really likes you."
"You like me?"
"Very much like Brother."
He saw the carefree face of the little boy, with eyes radiating very sincerely when he said it. Although he knew this was just a nonsense phrase from a young child who had not yet entered adulthood, he did not understand very well what mate was for Vasilissa. But isn't he also a king figure who could be included in the list of prospective Mate in the future?
A moment Kendric smiled faintly at the innocent laughter of the little girl. Although this is only a momentary compliment or promise of child love and a heartfelt expression of the dream game from him. At least he could think of the sentence as a marker that he was the figure of the king who filled his expectations, as his first love that sounded ridiculous.
Princess Lucy stood up in a ruffled waist with a confident look. "When Lucy grows up and becomes Vasilissa later. Brother should be preparing to be his Vasilias huh, Lucy will ask Papa to throw a festive party on her wedding day. Now promise me Brother will be the prince of his vasilias." He said while showing his little finger.
Hearing that, Kendric also entertained and laughed quite loudly. A very enchanting view of a Kendric who looks very charming with his face that laughs with satisfaction. Even he himself was not sure when the last time he could feel a pleasant moment like this.
Looks like he will like to accept the offer Selini Thea who had thought this troublesome her. It is possible that when he grows up Kendric can see his words become real, should he participate in the competition of the kings to get it? I don't know Kendric still feels for now he will just follow the game made by the Princess of the month and see his development.
Although this is ridiculous, but somehow it seems like I will look forward to it.
Kendric grabbed the little pinkie. "In that case, quickly grow up, Mr. My daughter ..."
Lucy can't say anything seeing a promise that looks like a children's game in the imagination realm. But his childhood promise felt so heart-scratching that he had determined who he was suited to as Mate, and instead grew up forgetting her. Wait, then why did he forget about it?
"So I promised you yes,"
"What if you forget it."
"Em, if Lucy forgets there's a big brother who will remind her. The Prince's job is to pick up the Princess at the hehehe tower...." Plain language.
"You're very good at making jokes." Kendric turned his eyes.
Little Lucy sees a black butterfly flying around Molie, making Molie grow angry. "Molie what is that?" Lucy is curious about the shape of a black butterfly that has a wing motif like a red streak line, making Lucy moved to touch it.
"We'd better get down, it looks like your brother's coming mica----Lucy don't touch!"
"Yahoo!!" Lucy touches her and the butterfly stings Lucy with electrical magic. As a result, Lucy lost her balance and then fell backward.
"Lu-"
"LUCKY!!"
Lucy fell from a tree. When Kendric wanted to reach Lucy, 10-year-old Welliam came and caught Lucy first, before being caught the head behind Lucy must also be hit by another tree branch so strongly that he lost consciousness with the condition of the body that began to feel convulsions, with several flashes of black magic seen surrounding him.
The panicked Welliam immediately ran carrying his sister towards his residence. While Kendric who was also seen frantically trying to catch up but the white deer belonging to Soul of life Seleni Thea confronted him. As if Selini Thea knows everything, she leads Welliam to rescue Lucy before Kendric shows up.
"For now do not meet my grandson or come out of your territory, Sire."
"What's? didn't you ask me---" yourself"
"Just for now. Octopus and Tahlia plan to awaken the Catastrophy, especially when I hear from the dove a message monitoring the sacred temple-Octopus tries a strange plan and kidnaps more holy spirits. Until you can take the throne in my place, keep quiet and observe as before. If you were more frequent in Darkness World it might be that Tahlia would realize something. The butterfly was one of Tahlia's dark magic trying to control Lorddarks' territory."
"Damn! I'll finish tahlia---"
"Don't. You mustn't, did you forget we still don't know the true purpose of Octopus developing dark magic? I beg you to return to Apollo's territory, sire."
Kendric felt heavy-hearted and grumpy to those who continued to pollute the whole world. But if he goes back to Apollo, what about Lucy? Some say children easily forget someone if they have never met each other in the long term. Wait, why did he become reluctant? Didn't he previously not feel this restless towards something?
"--Then what about Lucy's wound?"
"I'll send a message to Lezzy."
Should he go first? But keeping an eye on Octopus' movements took a long time, and he himself did not know when Tahlia would show his fangs to be said to be his fault in acting.
If only Aletha could persuade her and not close herself too much, she would have dragged her along. But right now Aletha was so restrictive with everything related to Imorrtal. "Damn!"
From that day on Kendric really decided to go and refocus on his goal to Octopus, anyway it would be safe if he did not drag the star. who knows, Octopus is more concerned with the interesting things of the descendants of demons, and instead targets him.
Luckily Lezzy follows Seleni Thea's message advice to heal her Princess' wounds, but unfortunately it is bad for Lucy's memory to look lost so she grows up forgetting her little promise.
All the time Kendric was only able to notice her in the earthly mirror of the Apollo region. Until at any time, Kendric tried to ignore the ban Selini Thea and went to see firsthand how her Daughter entered the debutante period at the age of 15 years, because he was eager to see the little princess become his adult.
However, Kendric received a painful confession there. That, the most surprising thing Lucy states has determined who Mate is for her. Knowing this Kendric felt annoyed but also thought naive. That the promise in those days was really just nonsense like the phrase digress children, what did he expect anyway?!
Knowing that he had truly been forgotten, he, Kendric decided not to give the least gift to his Master-Daughter - in the sense that he cursed all the Kings Lucy had chosen to be his mate, instead she gives up Lucy's choices and is indifferent to everything Lucy has prayed for her future life.
At that very moment, Kendric had to admit that this little dawn star had completely captivated his attention, both his mind and his heart.
Well, if he leaves. Will there be a chance for him to meet Lucy again or does he hope, Lucy herself came to him? If indeed the opportunity exists, Kendric will decide that on that day he will not let go or let go even if it is Lucy's own desire.
.......
.......
.......
All the memories he had forgotten and the facts about all forms of Kendric's indifference to all his expectations about Harlie's relationship, made him aware. After witnessing everything he knew he was the fool here, asking for love when there was someone who was willing to be a halfway house for him.
"You're back, my son." A petite elf who is the representative of the world tree flies over to Lucy while wiping away the tears of longing that Lucy dropped for her past memories. "Did you remember her?"
Lucy gave a small nod, "I don't want to repeat the same mistake. I want to go back, I want to be with her, I want to look for her-I miss her so much."
"Who?" Lucy looked at the little elf. "Who's the Mate you miss so much, is that Harlie?"
Hearing that, Lucy shook her head. "No, my Mate is not for a King like him.But the Mate who is perfectly fit to be my Vasilias there is Kendric---Kendric Athananysus Helios."
"Then if you can go back, who are you now?"
The word that means double, this is as if he was testing Lucy's choice again. "Don't I tell you, you can make myself a Robin for sacrifice. But, I will still live as Vasilissa-not, I will become Vasellica and accept my other soul to return. Because now I understand everything that happened to my choice of Vernitysha and Grandma."
"Regard?"
"For there is no mistake like Vernitysha's regret that having to fall in love and die gave up everything. He wanted Robin to stay alive and stay with his mate, so he wanted the moon to be his successor with the title of Vasellica."
The fairy of the world tree looked amazed by Lucy's answer let alone the look in her eyes full of confidence. But he will not dodge it, and this is the result of the story that is very much awaited. That all who are the will of the heavens will surely live happily.
"Although you understand it well, there's a slight error in your assumptions, because they don't just want you to be Vasellica."
"You mean?"
"May I tell him." From a distance not so far away. The tree fairy of the flying world approached the figure of a beautiful woman behind Lucy.
"Of course, he's your choice, my Robin."
Although this was her first meeting, but just by looking at her beautiful figure Lucy would not be mistaken because her beautiful face was so exactly like the painting in the abandoned palace in the Apollo region, isn't it obvious that she is the Goddess of Vernitysha?
"It's nice to meet you, my little star." Sapa Vernitysha was very warm to Lucy.
"Ah, i-i-i....,"
"Don't be too awkward, I've been waiting for this meeting for a long time." Vernitysha grabbed Lucy's hand. "My stiff son was really very smart to choose his Mate huh. I'm so glad you're a couple, does Kendric bother you a lot?"
"No, Kendric, em-Kendric is very considerate."
"It's a pity I couldn't see her crying when you left, do you know? From a young age, the boy didn't like to show his feelings for me or Apolleon. If she gets that attention, it means you're in love with her."
Vernitysha who looks very friendly makes Lucy amazed. That's because the nature of his mother is very different from the nature of Kendric. Is it possible that his nature is derived from his father?
"Not really, Apolleon was a man who always expressed his thoughts and was very friendly with any people. I'm also surprised how Kendric can have such a cold nature." Vernitysha said as if reading Lucy's mind. Hearing that, Lucy was embarrassed.
Vernitysha grabbed Lucy's face he looked piled up a lot of thoughts from earlier. "This will be our first and last meeting, Lucy."
"Oh, can't we have more time?"
"If I hold you back longer to be here. Then you also make it longer waiting for you."
Lucy looks sad but interacting with Kendric's mother is very comfortable especially she is a cheerful and warm woman. Even so, he also did not want to make Kendric wait longer.
"You or your destiny is not over yet, you must return. If there's a chance we'll definitely meet Serenity again."
"Serenity?"
Vernitysha smiled "In addition to wanting a good ending for Robin's descendants, me and Seleni Thea expect your birth will bring new light to Imorrtal and be the perfect partner who will lead the world well with Kendric."
Vernitysha gave the rabbit a crescent moon on its head. "Now remember well the form of this rabbit, because they are your true Soul Of Life."
"Is it because Grandma is a goddess?"
"It's not that your Grandma is a Goddess, but you're her generation. By becoming Vasellica you will also take moon love, for you will return to be the new Moon Goddess. The Moon needs her Saints as the goddess of the night's intermediary, dear."
Lucy was surprised to hear that, "I?! But, if Grandma wants someone to replace her, isn't my mother the best fit?"
"Your mother has held the Goddess to a different title, dear. Goddess Alicia, that's your Mother Goddess' title, so she won't be able to receive the moon's crown."
Lucy is silent and contemplating everything, if she is the Moon Goddess will she really be able to be with Kendric as a night light for her?
"As you might expect, if you die you will still return as a new soul without having to forget the memories of your old life, it's just that the process is a little hampered because somehow Robin and Vasellica are two different things of life."
"If Robin is death then Vasellica is birth. That way you can get back with her. I know this is cruel to you, and very selfish because we force the will of your destiny, but we just hope the future is a place that is always safe for the whole world. I'm sure Kendric hates my decision too"
Lucy once blamed fate without knowing that it was the best choice for her, but the process has always been complicated to achieve the goal, "- No, I'm so grateful for your choice. and also, Kendric never hated you."
"Really?"
"Of course, he still keeps your painting and is so very protective of it."
"-- Seems like you know her a lot better than I do. Thank you for being present to her. Although Kendric is not very good at conveying his feelings, but he is not a very indifferent figure."
In the stillness of time as if running slowly with the whirling wind that surrounds them, Lucy and Vernitysha are so eager to have a lot of time to get to know each other. But a second later Lucy felt her forehead feel hot and as she touched it. A lotus flower carving with a crescent moon emblem in the center was engraved on his forehead.
"For the sake of keeping your soul in this realm Kendric continues to give her blood, hoping that the emblem of the mate will never fade. Looks like it's time you left, I can't hold you anymore."
The world tree moved, its huge looking roots trying to form a gate that turned out to be the doorway to the earthly realm. Lucy can see how the scenery is on the other side of the natural frontier.
"Now, the last step is farewell."
Lucy sees Vernitysha walking up to the world tree and accompanies Lucy to touch the grass roots. They hold each other's hands, and slowly Lucy's soul shines-disappearing to return to the world.
"I'm taking my son. I'll also be waiting for the noise in Skylitch Kingdom, by your children."
Vernitysha cried at this short meeting, with a smile. "Thank you, I wish you happiness my Moon Goddess-Thea tou Serenity."
Right in her final message, Lucy's soul is drawn into the doorway of the world tree leaving a sense of serenity to those who hope that the future will be just fine even without them. Moreover, the happiest thing was seeing the descendants of the Sun and the Moon being able to be together-as the ruler of the heavens.
