Dree: "They are the soldiers of the kingdom.... My father's been spreading it all over the country to find me, because.... L'm.... L'm.... Escape from the palace. " (thin smile)
Syler : " So you.... You are an.... Prince?!! " (congratulations)
Dree: "Yes right, I left the palace because my father always told me to keep learning and practicing. I was required to be able to learn everything, I was never even allowed to leave the palace again. I'm very depressed.... I'm tired of all that. (frowning) So.... I'd better just go and find freedom...."
Where Dree lives, it turns out he must be demanded to be perfect behind his special status. Wearing oversized robes, good clothes, luxurious food, a decent bed, and abundant wealth can not guarantee a person's life to be calm, that's the sentence that is often thrown by parents.
All the best teachers are brought in to train him, day or night. Memorizing all the moves and also mastering various kinds of weapons, both light and heavy, both easy and difficult, even though he must be able to master.
Even to the extent that, he had no friends for his place to play. The prohibition that he should not have any outside friends and always train inside the palace keeps him saturated. He also wanted to feel what affection felt like from the people closest to him.
Dree: "I feel lucky too, and thank King Altergust for giving me a chance, though.... I haven't given my reasons, but hopefully.... When I was ready to deliver it, the king was able to accept me to stay for a while. " (subject).
Ether* [Cih....! You think I can accept your presence here?] (up from behind the wall)
Dree: "But after I thought it seemed impossible, especially given the bad relationship between my people and the water nation.... "
Syler (silently) "It's worth looking for you.... Then... (think) I'll help you talk to Uncle.... Think of it as my return to you. (smile) "

The next morning, Syler and Dree meet His Majesty the King and Queen in the throne hall. All the members of the royal nuclear family gathered there, each of them occupying his throne seat, including Ether and Kak Lyan.
With Syler's help, Dree explains the same reason he is going through. When Dree finished, His Majesty the King spoke up.
" I'm sorry prince, but I still can't accept you to stay here, even if you've already healed Syler and we've agreed, but for your request on this one, sorry I can't help you. You can make another request. "
Syler: "I'm sorry to interrupt uncle, but he's just. " (trying to help).
Ether: "Syler....! You defend strangers too? " (not accepted)
Syler: "Other....! In your view he may be a stranger or perhaps an enemy of yours, but to me he is not!! He was my friend and my savior. (looking at him seriously) Dree... It doesn't matter to me, if you don't get a place, you can stay in my house.... Hows it? "
Dree (Holding Syler's hand while shaking his head) "It's okay, (smiling) if my presence here is not welcome.... I can find another place. But my arrival here is not just to seek refuge.... But there's another thing that's honestly very hard for me to say " (gaze at Syler)
Syler: "What is Dree.... Say it!! Just say!! " (enthusiastic)
Dree thought back, this might be a secret that could not be revealed, as it concerned the personal matters of the kingdom. But if this could help, at least he could tell her enough.
" Before I left, I overheard my father talking to two men the other night. One of the men said that his son and his friends suffered serious injuries due to someone.... "
" After examination, some of them suffered minor and severe burns. They were found unconscious, and all had memory loss, so when questioned about the culprit they did not remember anything. Since then, they have been silent and have not spoken at all. "
" From the results of the second examination, their burns were not caused by fire. There are only three causes of burns. First, that is anything that is related to fire, and their wounds are not from fire. Second, because the chemicals, after investigation, around the market also found no presence of chemicals. And the last is electricity, there are only a few possibilities that can happen.... "
" It could be that they are exposed to electrical collisions by objects that can indeed conduct electricity. But they were found in the middle of a field around which there were only trees. The weather was very hot at that time, it was impossible for the emergence of electrical energy. " (silent for a moment)
" They initially suspected the appearance of the lightning nation, but they also knew that they had vanished many years ago. But there is no potential for electrical energy other than them. Means it was decided, the first guess that attacked them was someone who could control electricity. "
Everyone inside the throne room was shocked by the logical story of Prince Firedree. Queen Yinya was increasingly convinced that the electric controller was the person who had been touched by the fortune teller who at that time he found on the market.
" That day, the father also ordered his entire army and several high-level spirit masters, to search all over, and to search for the suspected and potential person of the lightning nation. They will later be taken to the palace prison, to investigate. "
" It was not because of the events of that day that the investigation was carried out, my father also wanted to find out about the whereabouts of my brother who disappeared with the news of the destruction of the entire nation of lightning. Brother was reported last seen in the area of the lightning nation. "
" Father is still very sure that brother is still alive, let alone the sword that has been found, not far from the location of the palace of the lightning nation, which has been leveled with the ground, is also still intact. Moreover, father once said that brother once stored some of his spirit energy power in his sword. " (a little nervous explained it)
" The sword is kept in a special place that is very secret. The sword always shines when the full moon occurs. It signified, that the sword could sense the same spirit energy, just like the one that big brother had. "
" Hearing my father's entire plan, I finally decided to leave with my brother's sword. I hid it and crept out of my territory. I was originally lost to your territory Your Majesty, nor did I expect that the sword of the elder brother could shine by itself here, even though those times were not full moons. " (happy)
" I became more and more convinced of the whereabouts of big brother, and I also decided to look for him myself in this region. But I needed to disguise myself to be unknown to my father's men, and by this time I had been in your palace. "
