The Queen of Vasellica Moon's
Great Celebration; Hope In Lantern
*the*Darkness World
~ Lucifer Kingdom's
To celebrate and commemorate the golden day after the Alabasta disaster that has passed for 100 years. Lucifer Kingdom makes the Asteri Festival a great day for the world of darkness and will open its palace to invite nobles as well as people-join in the release of a lantern of hope into the sky.
Not only that, some Imorrtal nations have also begun to blend in and admire the beauty of Darkness World, even they have cooperation that can build glory between empires. Since Kendric became a role model of power, disputes between nations have never occurred even though there are still small fights but will not cause hatred.
There is still about 1 hour left until the main event starts, but the capital city square of Zainthor and the palace gates have been fulfilled by visitors from various circles. Winter has ended some young shoots of various plants appear in some places even some of the palace garden has started a variety of plants that bloom faster on the night of the festival.
Today it was also warm enough that they no longer wore thick clothes. children running with lanterns and some adults talking rhyme into a pleasant musical rhythm for Lezzy who observes the arrival of palace guests from his brilliant balcony on the top floor.
Although he is immortal but because Lezzy has half human blood, he entered the age of no longer semi at the age of 635 years. Even so she remained beautiful without any aging lines on her face. Lezzy also accepted it because somehow he also wanted to enter his old age after seeing his children happy and saw his grandchildren call him grandma to his great-grandchildren later.
A cloth embraces Lezzy's body and finds the always sincere man looking at her with warmth. Even with his love for Lezzy, Fedrick uses change magic to follow the same changes as his girlfriend, even though he has a long time to enter his old age.
Once again Lezzy is so grateful to have gotten a man who would accept it for what it is.
"Although tonight is warm enough, you still mustn't ignore Lezzy's health." Fedrick stood next to Lezzy, looking down at the crowd.
Grasping Mate's hand, Fedrick seemed to have a lot of thoughts and Lezzy was able to notice her change of gaze. "This time what are you worried about? What about Lucy?"
"Lezzy, if it's true Lucy can go back---is she still my daughter?"
"You mean?"
"I've always thought about this and become an unease that I can't ignore. Wouldn't if you believed it, by now my daughter is a none-Lucy Daiana Lorddark's dead. And if the miracle really happened, she could have reincarnated but she would have become the daughter of a new parent, doesn't that mean she won't come back to us?"
"While true I will definitely force him to come back but it will make him hate me." Further.
Lezzy never thought her husband had this deep thought she thought she had really given up because decades ago she looked frustrated to wait.
"He'll be back." Lezzy said with a serious look "If it had to be born not of me, I would still love her but she is my daughter and forever will be like that. I believe Lucy will come back to us."
As if Fedrick was conscious, Lezzy's words slapped his once-weak feelings. "Lizzie..,"
"I hope you understand and don't say that again."
"I'm sorry Lezzy----"
"But if you think about it, if Lucy comes back, she'll be right away from us."
"Hm? Why that?"
"You forgot, if there's still one more person waiting for her, so letting Lucy go from now on is good."
"Curtain! Is my anxiety really him?! I want to fight it."
"Don't start another war, I want to enjoy old time without having to worry about the kids. " Lezzy walks away from the balcony of the room "We'd better get off, the Festival will be on start-Hem, is this time the God Emperor is coming?"
"Don't expect him to be out for almost 80 years, would you? Uh! it's possible that he won't be interested in Lucy anymore, because he's forgotten her."
"It seems not to forget, instead he will give a wedding tribute when he meets us again."
"Lezzy you can't read my mood."

*Litch Palace
While all are busy with the main palace, this place will always be quiet because of the prohibition from the Lord to not enter the palace owned by his sister's relics. Although Kendric never visited them, Aletha was sure his Emperor would occasionally come to this place as a result he persuaded Welliam to keep the childhood palace of Lucy rather than the sunny palace of Lucy's residence.
Kendric spent a glass of wine in one gulp, even looking like there were so many bottles around. Although it's a nice night but for Kendric it's a night of mourning for him. He may not be drunk but his wits will go crazy for constantly twisting his memories with his Mate.
Even so Kendric will calm her down with a book that is still stored in Lucy's room first. He just wants to know what makes his lover as a child always crave a prince figure, even to the point of comparing himself with the Merrmaid nation.
And when traced, it turns out that almost the entire contents of her mini library are very entertaining fairy tales for children-boring for her who is not interested in stories like this.
But Kendric found one interesting story on the top shelf maybe Lucy has not read it because it looks like the book is stored in the box, her guess is it was a gift for Lucy when she was 15 years old, because the contents are a novel not a fairy tale for children. But the story caught his attention.
"How dare you enter the palace residence that God forbid!"
Kendric, who was distracted by his time, glanced at a 15-year-old boy, staring at him, leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest, as if he showed that his figure was the highest in noble status.
...---(Illustration)---...
The proud boy! That was what Kendric thought when he first saw his attitude. Although he has a strong aura and has the potential to become a great man in the future, but he is too arrogant - let alone his stature that reminds Kendric with a nation that can always argue with him.
Look at her pale skin, dark hair as dark as night and also eye-waiting! Kendric got up while keeping a book of novels that he read with his magic. He approached the boy. Meksi he has a black iris but if you look more carefully his eyes are actually dark blood, a red color that is very thick kental ranking will look dark, dark, could it be that he was a Demon who almost inherited perfect blood?
Because basically the Demon nation has black eyes but because he has the gift of Apollo the red color actually becomes very dark. Can you be sure that he is the Demon Prince?
If you remember he once got a letter from Robert his right-hand man, who delivered the news about Aletha-but what? Because she's too preoccupied with her thoughts about Lucy, so, she ignores everything that has nothing to do with Lucy.
"Who are you?"
"Huh?! Shouldn't I be the one asking? Who are you and why did you enter my aunt's residence?"
"Auntie?"
"Really! This is my Aunt's palace, Princess Lucy and---"
From behind the door shouted a woman who was pounding on the door so furiously, even the child was goosebumps in fear, was Killian his name?
The open door denied the young girl who looked very angry, with a red dress that looked rhythmic with her pink magenta eyes. Moreover, his long black hair on the centipede towards the front.
He walked closer and then hit the forehead of the boy called Killian with his hand fan. "How dare you leave the banquet, not even Grandpa and Grandma have entered the room!"
"Aa--sick! Hey can't you just slow down and hit him?"
"You called me Hey?! If Talitta hadn't spread out to find you, you wouldn't have intended to go back."
Ughhhh! again my sister's spirit butterfly watched over me.
"Bu-no, I don't mean it's Sofia."
"Now explain why you ran away? You know I'm overwhelmed with guests but you just walk away. Mom says it's a good time for you to start your Debutante, Killian."
"I don't like it! They're too noisy and they're so boring."
"Do you think I don't feel bored either ha! Come here, I'll tie you to a tree again-if I think the punishment for your pranks yesterday hasn't been decided yet, have I?" Sofia was seen showing her extremely terrifying demonic smile.
Killian was really goosebumps if he saw his older sister was already thinking of a reply for him. "What?! Please don't do that shameful thing again." Killian glanced at Kendric who had been watching the children's quarrel, then an idea came to his mind.
"Sister, I'm actually arresting an intruder."
"Inbreathers?" Sofia looks towards the direction that Killian points at and sees a man there-remembering this is her Union residence Sofia's increasingly black riding. How dare there be an intruder in his beloved Union residence. Didn't know that he guarded this castle well.
"I will break your legs, for I have dared to step on this palace!" The green butterfly butterflies on Sofia's side turned red and made cloning to 15
"That's too light, make sure she's Zymba's food." Killian.
Kendric sighed to see their quarrel especially until there was Sofia who had grown up, he could have made sure that the boy was Aletha's second child and also Prince Lucifer Kingdom.
Kendric approached the two Demon Princes and Princesses and then touched their eels as a rebuke to see the situation when facing the enemy, fortunately this is Kendric if the real enemy and they move rashly is not dangerous for those who look like toddlers to Kendric.
Although Sofia already has the age of 90 years but when compared to humans she is still a schoolgirl aged 18 years.
"Are you guys being taught to be savages? This must be Welliam's teaching, and now have you forgotten me Little Winkly?"
"Don't call me that, because it's just Pa----" Sofia looks a little calm while watching the man in front of her who feels very, very familiar. "--uncle? Is this really uncle?"
"For a long time no see, Little Winkly."
Seeing Kendric smile makes Sofia feel happy that her guess is right. Because as he knows it has been almost 80 years Kendric never visited them, only his subordinates who became representatives for the presence of Kendric.
"It's a good thing that Uncle is still very handsome despite getting older."
"You are, is that how you greet me. Your nature is getting more and more similar to your father." Sofia laughed, "So who is he?"
"Ah, he's my sister. The Killian Arestyash Lordarks. And Killian, she's Aunt Mate Lucy and also God's Emperor Imorrtal, His Majesty Kendric Athananisous Helios."
"Hoo, now you know who I am?"
"Of course, I'm not a kid anymore. Moreover, I was very passionate about teaching about the world of Imorrtal."
"It looks like you're studying really hard huh."
"Thank you for your attention...," Wait than him, wasn't Killian more excited in the knowledge of Imorrtal?
And sure enough, Sofia can see how her sister's gaze so greatly admired Kendric's figure.
"Uncle, actually Killian idolizes your figure. At the age of 10, Killian was able to master language and knowledge in Imorrtal." Bisik Sofia's.
"Em, Your Majesty apologize for my---behavior"
"You don't need to be that formal, after all it's not your fault."
TENGS! TENGS! TENGS!
Not long heard the sound of the imperial bell signifies the flight schedule lanterns will be done soon and Sofia and Killian must immediately return.
"Wouldn't you come this time?"
"No, and please don't tell me my arrival."
Sofia smiled "Don't worry, Sofia is always on Uncle's side."
Sofia pulls Killian to leave immediately as Killian is already so stunned that her idol is in front of her. "Oiya, can Sofia write down hope for Uncle as well?"
"Do as you please."
"Alright, Sofia will write down the hopes-Union and Uncle Lucy will be back together." Said Sofia while closing the door and Kendric could hear that Sofia and Killian had a fight over who would write the hope.
Kendric loved the entertainment of these Demon children at least they were much better than Welliam and Fedrick. Right at the second bell rang lanterns belonging to the Royal family flying up and one after another in tandem the lanterns of hope from the capital floated in following with lanterns that were outside the territory.
For once again the atmosphere returned to silence for him and as the previous year he stared at thousands or even millions of lanterns alone from the balcony of Lucy's palace room.
But one thing that attracted his attention when a lantern actually flew low and stuck in the tree in the garden behind the palace, let alone the tree was the place he wanted to visit after the Asteri event.
Kendric went down and then grabbed the lantern to be flown back. But, "Kendric---"
