The Traitor: Relic War
Chp. 10 Threats From The King When He Asks the Traitor

"This is my room..." Elize narrowed her eyes, looking up at the sky room that was familiar to her, she sat on the bed and felt a slight pain in the back of her body and some of her leg joints.

"How did I get here so fast, I should still be in Sol village" he said, puzzled, then got off the bed and went to the large window that led to the palace garden.

It was early in the morning and it might soon turn into noon because the position of the sun had almost reached the middle, Elize glanced down at the gathering of people who were gathering while talking, Elize, people who are quite foreign to him but there is one person who he knows so well, namely his own sister Luna who joined together with strangers earlier.

Feeling quite curious about the people who were with Luna, Elize decided to immediately change into her palace clothes after she fell asleep in a chest armor that was not released.

After changing for a moment, Elize who was wearing a cream-colored dress and full of strands at the bottom came out from her room and walked in the palace corridor which was quite spacious and long, Sometimes he was greeted by passing servants and of course the servants offered help to Elize but He refused all the offers.

"Eh...!" Elize dodged when at the turn of the Corridor almost hit someone.

"You..." His voice slightly shouted when he saw Zen who with a surprised look also saw Elize in a palace dress.

"Cihh, don't yell like you see a criminal..." Reply Zen who felt a little uncomfortable after seeing Elize's Reaction.

"Sorry..."

"It's okay..." Zen's voice walked past Elize.

"Wait first... There's something I want to ask you... Come with me now..." Invite Elize to hold the arm of Zen who was just about to go to the library of the Palace.

"Is that important?"

"Maybe so..." Elize replied slightly hesitating at the answer she gave.

"Alright, but let go of my hand first, your grip is very strong" he complained to pull back the arm held by Elize.

"Sorry..."

"Stop saying sorry... Then where are you taking me?"

"My father's work space..." Elize answered with certainty.

"Then, then..." Zen walked up to nearby Elize then stood right beside her and held Elize's shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Elize who was a little surprised by what Zen was doing suddenly asked.

"Shut up and just come along..." Zen replied a little awkwardly because according to him what he did was very sudden - arriving, From under Zen's feet his shadow enlarged then swallowed him and Elize entered.

Of course it makes Elize panic not playing because he feels being attacked by Zen, but Zen does not care about Elize's words and tries to focus on his magic.

Meanwhile in Arthur's study a shadow appears right in front of his desk and slowly enlarges, from which Zen appears along with Elize beside him.

"How to come is pretty great..." Admire Arthur when he witnesses the arrival of Zen along with Elize.

"That's because this Princess was so nervous asking me to meet you." replied Zen taking off his grip from Elize's shoulder and walking away.

"Don't tell me you brought me back last night using magic..." Elize who had been silent ever since she appeared finally started talking.

"Like that" replied Zen who grabbed a book from the closet on the edge of the room and started reading it.

"Elizean... Are you all right..." Arthur asked worriedly seeing his daughter silently not budging in the slightest.

"Emmm... Well sorry dad, Elize's fine..." He replied after a moment of silence.

"Thank God, I was so worried when you went to see Uccisore... Don't do that again..."

Zen glanced from the view of his book and saw how Arthur expressed his words, and of course there was only the expression of a father who was worried about his daughter.

"Well Dad, Elize's sorry..." Said Elize regretfully.

"It's okay my daughter is important you're okay... See your mom soon, well, she's worried too..." Arthur patted her on the shoulder, telling her to stop regretting what she had done.

"Good..."

"Then you need to come here..." Arthur walks to his desk and sits back in his chair, wondering if he will continue his work or listening to what Elize is trying to say.

"I wanted to ask you what Uccisore said when I met him..." Elize opened the conversation after taking a slight breath.

Arthur's face immediately fell silent, his pupils shrinking after hearing Elize's words, "You've met Uccisore.", he said in a slight panic.

"Well, I met him in Sol's village..."

"Why don't you tell me.", Arthur snapped at Zen who casually turned the page of the book in his hand.

"What's? You blame me? You just told me to bring him back instead... You never told me to report everything that happened..." Zen replied very casually and did not care about Arthur's anger towards him.

Seeing the Zen Reaction that had not shown Formality to his father certainly made Elize wonder about what was going on between the two of them, but he will decide to find out later and attach importance to his questions now.

There was no response from Arthur regarding Zen's response and he simply turned his gaze towards Elize who was still putting on a curious face, "What did she tell you..." Ask.

"I think it's just a prank to bring down the kingdom but he said that he didn't attack Sol's village but took it back from the Kingdom of Terarria... What does that mean..." Elize.

"He said that to you!!" Arthur slightly chuckled as he struck the table with both hands, making Zen and Elize slightly tremble at the cry.

"What's the matter, father..."

"Why?"

"As you said it was just a booze from Uccisore to vilify the royal members and the nobles... So forget it..." Evidently.

"All right, father..." Patih Elize's.

"That's all you want to ask..."

"Right dad, that's all I'm going to go now" Elize said, raising her dress in court saluting Arthur.

"Wait Elize..." Prevent Arthur before Elize walks out of the room with Zen.

"From now on Zen warriors will be your companion knights... I don't want you to act as recklessly as before so I'm assigning Zen Warriors to escort you wherever you go even when you're in the academy..." He said seriously putting his two hands in front of his face.

"What!!" The startled reaction from Zen made Elize who was standing near the entrance almost jump in shock.

"What a Zen warrior..." Arthur said with slightly threatening eyes.

"You're not kidding... You must be kidding me..." Zen said in disbelief.

"No I'm serious now, I would never joke if it was about my daughter..." Answer Arthur.

"How can you decide that without my consent..." Zen Protest.

"Suppose this is a reply to what you did last night because you helped bring Elize here you can take this as a gift from me... After all my daughter is very beautiful so I will give you a chance to get close to her..." Arthur plays his eyes.

"Rather than this gift is punishment... You limited my wiggle room to do my real job..."

"A real task?" Elize asked astonished but not at all in limbo by Zen da. Arthurian.

"And there's no way Princess Elize would accept me as her bodyguard..." Zen glanced at Elize giving her the code to reject Arthur's argument.

"You don't mind Elize..." Ask Arthur.

"Well, it doesn't matter, after all Lim who was my knight before has stopped so I guess I should look for a new knight..."

"What!!!" Zen who did not believe only twitched his right eye.

"That's how... You're gonna take it not a Zen warrior, it's all so your job can go smoothly..." Spotlight of Arthur's eyes now more threatening Zen, as if telling him that Zen does not accept it then the secret of Zen as the Traitor will be revealed.

"!!!!!"

"Sister Elize..." Call Luna who sees Elize and Zen coming out together from Arthur's study, next to her is Iori and behind them are Shin and Rika.

"Luna..." Elize heard her sister's voice then glanced to the side, welcoming Luna's arrival with a smile.

"Zens? What are you doing?" Ask Shin.

"Don't ask..." Zen replied very uninspired.

"Sir Elize from anywhere..."

"I just went outside for a while... And just came back last night... By the way who they are..." Elize answered, switching the conversation.

"Ahh yeah... They were some of the fighters who were called, He was Rika Takada, and Shin Minasaki... And Iori Suzuki is my knight..." Luna introduced one by one of the fighters who came with her.

"Greetings to the warriors, I am Luna's older sister, My name is Elize Du Arthur" Elize introduced herself to the Warriors respectfully.

"We also know Princess Elize" replied Iori followed by respectful greetings from Shin as well as Rika.

"By the way what did you do with the Zen Warrior?" Luna asked a glance towards Zen whose eyes were no longer alive.

"Dad just assigned Zen to be my knight... And he'll be on duty from today..."

"Ohh... I see, you're pretty lucky Zen..." Said Shin.

"Stop saying it like that... This is punishment..." Answer Zen.

"What about you guys? Do you need anything from dad?"

"Actually we want to ask permission to walk the streets of the city to find new clothes to wear at a welcoming party later tonight..."

"True, dad said that his welcoming party starts later tonight... I forget... Can I come with you guys? I guess I'd like to find some clothes, too.."

"certain... Let's go together..." Luna said with pleasure.
