――――――――――――――
Srrk, rrk, rrk.
The sound of bushes colliding with someone was heard. Some green and dry leaves are falling. At one of the cracks in the bush, a pair of fiery red eyes seemed to be lurking prey in front of him.
"Sad. Where did the boy go?"
The voice of a man is heard. His sharp black eyes were staring at his surroundings intently. The man had a muscular body and a large, tanned skin, while his reddish-brown hair was shaped like a brushed on top. In his hand was a long, shiny white sword with a height of sixty centimeters and a width of seven centimeters.
According to the viewpoint of the entire Eternal Flame members, he was one of the right candidates to become the commander of the Eternal Flame. Unfortunately, there was a little girl who ruined her dream.
By making this fight in the forest his chance to become the commander of the Eternal Flame, Liaro, was determined to defeat Stella.
But halfway through, Liaro lost track of Stella, that fact made him emotional.
"After all, I have to defeat that boy!" he said, clenching his hand. He growled furiously.
"Is Uncle sure?"
The deg!
Liaro froze when he heard the cheerful voice of a little boy behind him, he turned around, looking at the little boy who was waving at him.
"Over time do not meet~"
Long time from where! Hey, we last met ten minutes ago!
Liaro did not reply, but he spoke in his heart. Then, Liaro raised his sword and propped it on his shoulder. The corner of his lips rose into a wide grin.
"You appeared in front of me with your own wishes, so I don't need to look for you, boy."
"Indeed." Stella replied casually.
"Hm...." Liaro observed the little girl. He was not afraid of me at all, his mind grinned, then raised his sword. "So, is this brat ready to be stabbed?"
"Hehe...." Hearing the man's last words, Stella grinned, then pulled out her sword tied next to her hip. "Uncle, such cruel words, are not well spoken by adults, you know."
Swoosh―
After that, with an unpredictable movement, Liaro was already cornered.
"Ukh―"
Stella's slender sword was near Liaro's neck, narrowly cutting off his neck veins.
Buk up!
Liaro's body suddenly fell to the ground in a kneeling position and could not be moved at all, as if it was being suppressed by something powerful.
What ....what just happened?!
Liaro did not understand the current situation, his head was still unable to process the events that had just happened. Then, his black eyes looked at those red eyes.
"Now, who's ready to be stabbed?"
The deg!
In front of Liaro, the little boy looked at him with fiery red eyes, his expression unreadable, from his body also emanated a terrifying-looking black aura.
Th-that...!!!
"Oh?" Stella tilted her head, still looking at Liaro's eyes that had been trembling, after which Stella realized something. The corner of his lips spontaneously lifted. "I've been caught, huh?"
While Stella realizes that her identity has been discovered, Liaro looks at Stella with fear.
*T-it turns out she is the Princess!
The man His Majesty is looking for!
The one who had the aura of the Death Goddess!
The one who will be made the Commander of Eternal Flame!
And the one who has red eyes and blond hair!!
Die me! I already mentioned it*!
Liaro was rendered speechless when he learned of the many statuses that the little boy in front of him had. His large body slowly curled up.
"Hm?"
Looking at the large-bodied man in front of her who was slowly shrinking, as if to avoid being seen in her eyes, Stella nodded in understanding.
Hm, hm. I know how it feels to be defeated by a child. So take it easy, I'm not gonna, uhuk, laugh at you, uhuk.
In contrast to her heart, Stella's lips quivered as she held back a laugh.
"Pffit...."
Oh my God, I want to laugh! Laugh!
"Hahaha!!"
And finally, a laugh came out of Stella's mouth.
***
After half an hour of laughing in front of Liaro, which was considered like a demonic laugh by the man, Stella normalized her expression. He was considering whether to injure Liaro as proof that he defeated the man or not.
After careful thought by Stella, he moved his sword, while Liaro trembled even more as he felt the sword of Stella approaching his neck.
"A-a-what ... would you like to do with my neck...?!"
"I just want to hurt your neck a little."
"L-little bit?"
"Yes." Yeah."
After that, the tip of Stella's sword hit Liaro's neck, scratching it, causing drops of blood to flow and spread around his upper clothes.
"Now, pretend to faint."
"Yes?"
Gaining a sharp gaze from Stella, Liaro immediately pretended to faint. His body, which had been unable to move, could now be moved back.
"Okay, I'm done."
Stella put her sword back in its original place, then started hiding again somewhere else.
In this way, the old man will think that I defeated Liaro to faint!
Meanwhile, Leonard, who witnessed the scene between Stella and Liaro, could not help but laugh. His mouth twitched repeatedly.
You think I don't know what you're doing? How funny! Pfft....
***
"That couldn't be called a plan, anyway...."
Stella spoke to herself while remembering what she had just done to the big man.
"I don't want to waste any energy, another reason is also because the man I was able to make deputy commander."
Before being sent to the Whiteback Forest, Stella had already read the reports regarding the members of the Eternal Flame, including their characteristics and abilities.
According to the report he read, there were three suitable candidates to be the commander of the Eternal Flame, one of whom was the big-bodied man earlier.
So, because he accidentally revealed his true identity to the large-bodied man, Stella intends to make him the deputy commander if he officially becomes the commander.
Moreover, Stella also did not know why the man could tell that he had the aura of the Death Goddess. Though as far as it was concerned, without the Reflection of Aura, one could not see the aura of others with the naked eye.
*(Aura Reflection: a tool used to find out the aura a person has. 11)
If the man could see the aura that Stella had, then it showed that she had a special talent.
He will be a useful person for me in the future.
After which, Stella shook her head.
"Okay, Stella, now is not the time to think about it" he said, patting both cheeks. "Now, all I have to do is get out of this forest as soon as possible!"
Yes, all Stella has to do now is finish this fight as soon as possible and save the lives of the workers in her palace.
As Stella was about to hide somewhere else, she heard some people talking.
"Bhhh .... It's not exciting at all."
"You're right. It's like we're playing hide-and-seek with a little kid!"
"Eh, we are indeed playing hide-and-seek with that boy!"
"Truly boring!"
"Very boring!"
Oho~ So, you guys think this fight is boring?
Stella smiled as she stared at them intensely, and then chuckled. He immediately took out his sword, and deliberately tore through the bushes that became his hiding place.
Srk.
"What's that sound?"
"Who's there?"
The men screamed while looking around.
"It's me~"
Stella showed herself with a grin. His footsteps were slow, but spreading a dangerous aura around him.
"Is this fight boring, hm?" Stella tilted her head, asking them with an innocent expression, but the wide grin on her face made the men gulp down salivas and creep in congregation. "Well, then, how about we end this boring fight?"
"What are you gonna do?"
"Don't come any closer!"
"He-hey, we should have attacked!"
"Bodo very, you die there yourself! I still want to live long!"
"Then let's run away!"
"Really! We have to run!"
While they reveal a simple escape plan, Stella widens her senses.
I heard what you were planning, you know. Stupid jerk.
Then, Stella's gaze pointed at those people who were already preparing to flee. A cold voice that reached the bone immediately sounded.
"Where are you going?"
The deg!
Instantly they stopped.
"The fight is not over yet. Didn't we? So, let's get this over with, as soon as possible."
"D-no!!"
Trang! Jem!
"Akhich!"
The birds in the forest immediately flew away when the grim screams of those people sounded.
