POV Eric
A moment ago
''huwaaa. crazy is endless.'' cried who almost fainted from reading too many books about orchids but found none of the clues that can help.
I've explored everything from its philosophy to the meaning of the flower's name
''after this I can definitely be the best orchid seller'' I murmured then read the next book
Now I'm starting to worry. I'm afraid this is just a waste of our time.
Um?....
''tacca chantriere?'' muttered
This is an orchid?.new first time I see an orchid with a black color like this.
'' black bat?''
Hoo this flower has an interesting name yes.in say this flower is difficult to find bearti species step kah.um...
Let's think for a moment. The enemy we are looking for has an orchid flower symbol is unmistakable it is the symbol of their organization . although there is also the possibility that the symbol does not mean anything.but that is not the point, the point,the organization cannot contain only humans, there must be interference from outsiders. Otherwise there was no way they could have acted this far even to the point of destroying the elf clan. A man of equal strength and purpose, if he thinks back on all my investigations so far.
'' divination.the destruction of the elf clan.damend..the holy weapon..anggrek...bat.
!!!?.. '' VAMPIRE!?''
Don't tell me this has anything to do with them. Well that doesn't rule out the possibility. I also had time to estimate it first, the vampire clan is not a good clan plus they are a greedy clan. They must have interfered in this incident.
If it was true that they were mastermind then.what was the current location of elissa on the black continent?.not if there are humans involved there's no way they're taking elissa there.they're definitely caging elissa somewhere in the empire but where?....
Where is their location let's think.the most likely place where there is a connection with symbols and vampires..
''um.. tropics. '' I murmured while reading this habitan taman.
Tropical.....!!?. There!
Back to this moment
''tacca chantrierie!!''shanky
''tacca?..what is it?'' ask the duke
'' the name of an orchid flower'' replied me and took the map in the duke master's room and opened it on the table
''in fact, the name of the flower is a black bat.he lives in humid areas aka the tropics
'' what does the flower have to do?'' ask duchess
'' bats. In other words, vampire. If my guess is correct, the vampire clan must be involved in this, my words jolted everyone
'' then elissa. Is he in the vampire territory?'' ask the duke
''no. They can't just take Elissa there. They must be holding him somewhere in this empire. ''
'' the tropics are only a few places in this empire, and it just so happens that the nobles are gathering here right?'' I said while grinning
*smirk ''Call all the rulers of the area now !'' my orders

Elissa POV
*UK..UHUK...
Sick.. cold...
Oh?.what is this.my blood ?...
The dark red water. Under my feet and the drops are slowly dripping from my body..
I don't remember exactly what that guy did to me. All I remember is that he kept beating me and I heard him talking to someone..
Oh!. right. That guy also took my necklace and destroyed it...
And the man's eyes..in red?...
Fredric seemed so scared of him earlier..is he the mastermind of all this?. Those red eyes...
Ukh!. can't I can't think any further . This pain makes me unable to think . My whole vein screams pain...
Why is this all happening to me?.What is my fault for having to experience all this?...
*it's all because you didn't listen to me from the beginning*
!?!.. This voice echoed in my head...
''spirit brother?'' I muttered while trying to raise my head
*long time no see ya. elissa* said he who is now standing right in front of me
***
*UHUK!..
Ukh!. hurts..
''young master what are you doing?''ask Achilles who was shocked by my actions just now
''what else?. I tried to snatch you from any shadow I said as I pointed at the big black shadow ahead
''oh. it''' ''just calm sir.he just asked for his payment'' said achilles.
''payment?''
''we will have opened the gate by force . therefore we must pay for it'' he said
''what payment do you make.!!!?...'' ''wait a minute. Don't say.'' said I who immediately realized what he meant
*grep!. Achilles ! you didn't give your life to her, did you!?'' I screamed while clutching his shoulder
''you said the pay wasn't expensive. If this is the case!..''
''It's not expensive, right?'' cut off the achilles that jolted me
'' the life of a slave like me is nothing at all, he continued with a smile
...slave?...
*grep! '' YOU ARE EVERON'S GUEST AND A SPECIAL PERSON WHOM MY AUNT HAS CONSIDERED A CHILD!'' YOU'RE PART OF EVERON!. AND YOU SAID YOUR LIFE WAS WORTHLESS!?. YOU ARE LIKE MY FAMILY!. YOUR LIFE IS PRECIOUS!'' yell at
... '' those are sweet words sir.but your judgment is too exaggerated. I'm not that special person, mistress Liana just took me to please your sister. I am not part of everon'' said Achilles then got up and walked towards the black shadow
Not the part he said?...
'' young master. Please don't feel guilty. It's not your fault. I decided this myself. Because your life is more valuable than trash like me, slowly the black shadow began to envelop his body
....... so that's why he muttered earlier.
*GREP!
''!!?!.. sir !?'' it was as soon as I pulled it back
''is my life more valuable?. Don't say such ridiculous things. All lives are the same. Nothing is worthless. Then...''
''I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IF I HAVE TO SACRIFICE OTHERS!'' I shouted and forcefully pulled it from the shadow with all my might
*SHOUT!... *BRUK!
!!? '' young master?''
'' we'll get back together no matter what. Because you promised to explain everything to me. ''
'' SO DON'T TRY TO RUN AWAY FROM ME ACHILLES!'' I said while looking at him sharply and clearly it made achilles gasp in shock
***
POV Achilles
'' we'll get back together no matter what.''
I told you it was impossible. Why is this guy so stubborn?. When I thought about this plan, I considered it carefully. The best solution to get out of this problem. I was even ready to sacrifice my life. But this guy..
''Don't try to run away from me Achilles'
Run?. Why am I running from you?. I'm not afraid I'm just..
''I'M TRYING TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS TROUBLE!'' yell at
'' why are you so stubborn!?. Do you want to look like a hero?.''
''don't act stupid!. I've been thinking about this since making this plan.now let me pay for it!'' shanky
'' that idiot is you!'' reply
'' if I knew the payment would be this way I might approve!''
Hmph!.so sweet words. Like a hero in a fairy tale, but I think it suits him
''of course. that's why I didn't say'' My reply jolted him
''because I'm sure you won't agree so I didn't say'' my connection while looking at him sharply
'' my master appreciates your good will to help me, but I don't need that. You don't need to be a hero to me'' said I then walked through it and approached the black shadow again
I don't need a hero figure like in a fairy tale.From the beginning I did not like cool things like that.it makes me sick.because what?. because I used to expect it but until the end it did not materialize.and now when I do not want it.you even behave like the figure I dreamed of and it irritates me.
*grep! !!?..
''who wants to be your hero?'' said mister erwin while holding my hand again and looking at me sharply
!!!?.. This guy!
''i didn't do it because I wanted to be a hero or anything like that' he said then pulled me behind him
'' what do you say__''
''this is my responsibility'' His cut that jolts me
'' I am a future duke. I will be a leader later. But I can't call myself a leader if I can't protect one person near me right now' he said, raising his sword
'' it's an insult to me'' he continued...
BWOOOSH!. suddenly a blaze appeared around his hair and his eyes that had been bright green like new leaves now turned red like burning fire.
!!!?... mister erwin...
The mana changes as well as the element...
'' I'm doing this for my pride because it's best if you just stay there and don't ever intend to go in her direction again!'' exclaim mr. erwin
*grrrr*GROOAAAAR
***
Meanwhile, on the black continent
*TWO!!...
.............*WUSH.......................
A huge hole formed after the explosion of great power and frozen ground became a terrifying sight in this place at this time.
'' hoo.hmph turned out he was more agile than a mouse said the elf king while grinning at the large hole he just made.
*DEG! ''ukh''*UHUK! *UHUK!..
''ah. shit, I was too forced to be married'' he said while looking at his palm that was bleeding from his cough just now.
''my condition must not be worse than this.or the ritual will be hampered'' he murmured while wiping the blood in his mouth
'' he also managed to escape there was no point in wasting my energy more than this'' The inner elf king then turned around and disappeared
***
*UHUK! *UHUK! '' brazen you elf king'' murmured the mysterious man who is now dying with his hands and feet that have been lost.but the body part immediately grew back although a little slow
Who would have thought he was still alive and wielding that holy weapon. *BRAK! '' he even became stronger than I remember''
''just look at it. I will kill him once again with my hands. Just look later he said full of anger and then punched the tree beside him until it collapsed.
