The Red Crystal Kingdom
Minor

“I'm sorry for what happened to the Kingdom of Kastala,” said King Guvar.

Uzan and Guvar are at the top of the Palace. Like when Uzan spoke to Layla this morning. However, the atmosphere is evening. They both still felt the warmth of the air at that moment.

While leaning on the outskirts, Uzan said, “anda said that you had expected this before, right?”

“That's right,” Guvar nodded. “Before, Agatha and I had suspected Faraq and suspected him. But that's without proof. As I said when we met earlier, now it's been proven.”

“I didn't think it would be like this either,” Uzan sighed. “As I was telling you when we were walking into this place, I thought this periodic earthquake was a serious problem that the royal side could solve and come from outside, perhaps. However, it turns out that my own high ranking has made plans about this.”

“Agatha tells me that this is also related to Frederik's war when we discussed Faraq,” Guvar said. “You said that Mr. Kamasa had died, didn't you? To my knowledge, Kamasa had an important role in Frederik's wartime, although not actively following the war.”

“Maybe this is an act of revenge that has been proclaimed by Faraq far – far away, or maybe this is related to my past with my closest friend –, my closest friend, likewise with Rafael who is now on the side of Faraq.”

“That's a possibility, but we'll make sure of it,” Guvar said. “I told Layla to call Romeo for him to come here. Like I said, he's one of the higher-ups here. She is also a witch.”

“A magician who doubles up as the top of relations between countries, huh? That to me is interesting. Like Kamasa who became a royal advisor, but also participated in the kingdom.”

“I may not know the full extent of the kingdom, but the higher-ups in Igardias are more rigid and not as agile as the Kingdom of Kastala,” said Guvar. “I think Romeo characters prefer not to crowd and just want to discuss when something is important. So, when I make it as the higher-ups, then you know that Igardias will become more closed.”

“More closed?” Uzan holds his chin. “Do you intend to reduce dependence on other Kingdoms?”

“It was one of many reasons,” said Guvar. “However, the main reason is so that there is no disaster like Indara first.”

“I heard about Indara of Arika, one of my colleagues, about Igardias Palace which was destroyed with a single strike.”

“Let's suspend about Indara talks, prince Uzan,” Guvar sighed calmly. “And talk about Faraq who has mastered Kastala now. Because after this talk of ours, I will make a quick decision.”

“Alright,” Uzan approve. “So, we've come to talk about Romeo.”

“About Romeo,” Guvar continues. “She is not an elemental witch, but a witch Nekroz.”

“Nekroz Witch? I haven't known about it all this time.”

“The Witch Nekroz is a special magician who can relate to spirits and see one's past. Their numbers were not many, and most of them lived in Igaardias. Because, as we know, Igardias can also be called ‘Home of the Witches’”

“Alright,” says Uzan. “Then, what do you aim for by calling Romeo?”

“I plan to uncover Faraq's past and origin,” said Guvar.

Uzan watched over King Guvar carefully and behaved as if he did not believe. “Master Guvar, if you want to know about information about Faraq, maybe I can provide it.”

“I already know about it, Uzan,” said Guvar. “However, we can witness Faraq's past through the tools it has.”

“Rena, a close friend of mine who is also a witch and a higher-up said that we can witness the past through the ball of fortune. And the ball is owned only by Kamasa. Is it the same?”

“What is it?”

“That's because Romeo is a Former Disciple of Faraq.”

Uzan was stunned by what he had just heard. But he also wanted to make sure. “I know Faraq is not a witch. He is an archer. How could I not have known that Faraq once had a disciple who was a witch of Nekroz?”

“That question will probably be easy for me to answer, prince,” Guvar said. “However, we will wait for certainty of that answer. I could have asked you about Faraq and received – pieces of information about the officials of the relations between the regions of the Kingdom of Kastala. I don't mean to rule you out, but, it's to prevent the imbalance of your point of view as a prince about him.”

“Alright then,” finally Uzan approves.

“We sent Layla to go straight to Romeo where she lived. The journey is three hours from here. This is useful to get used to riding. Because, unfortunately, although he can use the sword like a king's son in general, he is very slow if we talk about his skills in horse riding. In addition, hopefully he can also familiarize himself with some villagers and spread kindness that will affect the good name of the palace.”

“So, that's why you told Layla to ride to Romeo's residence,” said Uzan. “It was pretty good.”

The evening light is getting dimmer. Silence between the two of them.

A moment later, Queen Agatha came to Prince Uzan and King Endan.

“Have you discussed the main problems that are plaguing Uzan?” ask Agatha.

“I just had a chat to and fro with prince Uzan about a little about a lot of things, Agatha,” Guvar said. “How about the discussion of minor issues that you can?”

“We have concluded that we will send some of them to reach Mount Atlas to meet Ruhin in two days.”

“Ruhin on Mount Atlas?” Uzan.

“You need not worry, prince,” Agatha said. “Finally your colleagues, and the additional colleagues I had agreed to go to that place after learning of Ruhin's whereabouts. However, one of the two of them will stay with you.”

“Who are they?”

“Sara and Edgar will settle in the Palace to take part in overcoming the main problem.”

Uzan gave a sigh of relief. “Thank God then.”

“Oh, yes,” says Agatha. “You also need to get acquainted with two new colleagues that I just introduced to your friend – friend. They didn't I brought here. But I'll mention a little description of them. A curly-haired man named Rego and a long blonde woman named Lusa.”

Guvar said, “Perhaps when Rego and the day after tomorrow meet you, they will know you immediately because you are the crown prince of the kingdom of Kastala because they often see when you visit here many times – times.”

“When you have dinner, you can go straight to Rego,” Agatha said. “Unfortunately Deer may not be able to eat together because it has to prepare its spring for the imposition of the task two more days.”

“The implementation is two days away huh?” uzan. “Alright then.”
