Themis, The Flower of Justice
Chapter 18 — Sword and Magic(End)

“Because both sides can no longer fight, then the result is decided series!!,”

“”WOAHHH””

They were all cheering over the outcome of the Luminas and Dorothy fight.

Javis who had strictly forbidden Luminas to fight was silent, he did not expect that the result would be like this.

‘Mr Princess.... It was amazing, I even ran out of words seeing the talent he had.... Who could have thought that this was the Princess's first match after training for a while? Of course no one would believe it if they did not witness this directly..’.

Javis glanced at Luminas talking casually with Dorothy even though she was injured.

‘And also, the dodging motion of the Princess and the last attack earlier..... I have to report it to Her Majesty The Queen.’.

Scott and Javis thought the same thing. Regarding Dorothy's final attack, they felt that it was a fatal attack that could not be repelled, even by themselves. However Luminas managed to fend it off, it proved that Luminas had an incredible fighting Indra.

The dodging movements performed by Luminas from such a close distance were also brilliant. Who would have thought that he would dodge the attack by bending his body to the extreme?

Javis shook his head and rushed towards the injured Luminas

“Mr Princess!!! How is your wound?! Are you okay?!”

Javis frantically checked Luminas' condition, but he was stunned for a moment because of the skill shown by Luminas so he did not notice that Luminas was seriously injured.

“It's okay Javis, the wound I have is not too severe, and putting aside the wound this fight makes me satisfied.”.

Luminas smiled brightly in response to Javis's worries.

“Mr Princess..”.

Javis looked at Luminas who was smiling brightly at him, he still had an expression of worry on his face.

Javis breathed a heavy sigh.

“Fuh, well Mr. Princess .... If you feel happy what can be done, but..”.

“But?”

“What will I tell Her Majesty the Queen?! If you get hurt like this, can't you imagine what he would do?!”

Javis protested to Luminas, complaining about what Selena would do if she saw Luminas injured.

“Ahahaha... Captain Javis, you don't have to worry about that! As for what my mother did, I will take care of it!”

Luminas laughed while scratching the back of his head.

“Really?”

Javis stared at Luminas in disbelief.

“Hahaha, maybe.”.

Hearing Luminas' response sent Javis slumping and sighing heavily, he grew even more desperate. He felt that he would die for allowing his daughter to fight and get hurt.

Everyone who was watching the fight looked at Javis who looked dazed. It seems like they can all understand what Javis feels like if he deals with Selena.

‘I understand how you feel...’.

‘Spirit, Captain!’

‘Excited, Juniorku..’.

Feeling the look of pity from around him, Javis seemed to be able to hear what they said from the look of the face they showed when looking at him.

‘You're.... Just look out for you!’

Javis looked back with a burning gaze.

The knights whose rank was lower than Javis suddenly felt goosebumps. They felt that training like hell would come to them.

“UHUK! Well Mr. Princess, you better treat your wound first,”

Javis got up and cleaned up the dust stuck on his shirt.

“Good!”

Luminas answered him with an excited tone.

“And you Kieri, pass this on to the art teacher who is waiting for the Princess. That the Princess could not attend her class because she was injured,”

Javis appoints a knight in full armor who is on duty with him to escort Luminas.

“Good, Captain!!”

The knight called Kieri answered him firmly.

“Then, let's Princess,”

Javis approaches Luminas and attempts to hold Luminas.

But Luminas brushed it off.

“It's okay Javis, I can walk by myself,”

“As your wish,”

Javis bowed respectfully to Luminas.

Although Luminas refuses to be helped by Javis, Javis still helps Luminas who is difficult to stand because of injuries in his hands that cause him difficulty to support his own body.

“Then senior, I go first,”

Javis bowed respectfully to Scott before he left.

Along the path leading into the palace, a smile could not be separated from Luminas face. He seemed very happy with the fight just now. Seeing this Javis became curious and asked Luminas.

“.... Princess, why do you look so happy?”

“Hm? Ah nothing, I'm just happy because the fight was~”

“What made you happy with the fight?”

With the answer given by Luminas, Javis grew curious.

“Isn't it fun fighting with someone who has equal strength? In addition, we can also check what is lacking with ourselves through the fight,”

“..... Did you get anything from your first fight?”

“Sure, from the fight just now I have the opportunity to check what I have, so I can take advantage of the advantages I have more leverage. Plus, with the fight earlier I can find out what my shortcomings are and fix them,”

“So so...”

Javis nodded in understanding

“Also..”.

“?”

“Isn't it so great that Dorothy's talents and talents flourish? It will be very helpful to strengthen the kingdom's military,”

Hearing what Luminas said, Javis was shocked. Javis feels the more he knows Luminas, the more alien his existence will be. Despite being only six years old, Luminas was able to demonstrate remarkable cognitive and linguistic intelligence. From the words, the mindset, to the actions he did felt like he was not a little girl.

‘Mr Princess is amazing.... Neither strength nor intelligence is anything less than it. Even the intelligence he possessed was incompatible with his age. As if it were..’.

Feeling uncomfortable with the gaze emitted from Javis, Luminas protested.

“Captain Javis, what's wrong? Why look at me?”

“Ah! Forgive me for making you uncomfortable, Princess! I just feel that the Princess is so amazing,”

“Really? You're overreacting,”

Luminas flicked his hand, showing as if it was a trivial thing

“True Mr Princess! You're too low. From intelligence as well as strength, you do not lack anything at all! You are like the perfect figure depicted in fairy tales. Even sometimes I feel....,”.

“??”

Listening to Javis's truncated sentence, Luminas looked towards him.

“I feel that sometimes the intelligence and behavior of the Princess is not in accordance with your age, Ah does not mean I mock you! But I just feel that the Princess is like a creature from another dimension who becomes a little girl.”.

“!!!!”

Luminas was shocked to hear the statement from Javis.

Seeing Javis' serious eyes, as well as his confident speech, as if he was very confident in his speculation that Luminas was someone from another world who possessed a child's body.

“Is that true Mr Princess?”

Hearing the question, Luminas' face was flooded with sweat. He doesn't know what to answer.

‘What should I say? What should I answer? Is it okay to leak my identity to her? Or even..’.

‘I will be punished for having indirectly ‘killed the original Luminas’ before she was born?’

Luminas hesitantly asked Javis back. He put up his best poker face, he tried not to look panicked which seemed to justify Javis' statement.

“....Right what?”

“Of course the truth about you is...”.

Luminas stared intently at Javis who was about to finish his statement.

“That you are the reincarnation of the ancestor who led the peak of Medeia's glory? The strongest emperor in the history of the continent, a leader who almost unified the entire continent?! Empress Aria Von Medeia!!”

Javis shouted out his statement so loudly, that it sounded throughout the training ground and made everyone look at him.

“.... Huh huh? What?”

“Yes! I'm thinking that you are the reincarnation of Empress Aria, with the memories from your previous life that you have certainly made sense considering your intelligence!”

“No, Javis wait—“

“Or are you a reincarnation of a Goddess of the sky?! If you are a Goddess then it makes more sense. In order to save Medeia from her downturn in this tumultuous era, a Goddess descended to defend this kingdom!!”

“....”

“Huahaha! This kingdom is blessed only by your existence! As long as there is you, then this kingdom is sure to return to its peak! Hahaha!”

Hearing Javis' unilateral statement, Luminas became speechless. He felt he had done the stupidity of thinking that Javis might dismantle his identity as a passer from another world, it turns out he was just spewing nonsense.

“What? Why are you silent? Does your residence signify that all my speculations are correct? Ahaha! Live Mr Putri— no, live the Goddess!!”

“....”

Luminas was getting more and more upset. He became silent because he did not want to respond to the stupid statements made by Javis. But it turned out that he was even more so and expressed his stupidity out loud so that everyone around could hear him.

“.... Captain Javis,”

“Yes, The Great Goddess!

“Close your mouth,”

.

.

In a room in Selena's residence, there is a room that has a very luxurious interior. In a room that is quite spacious there are many bookshelves that are full of thick books and neatly arranged.

On this silent night, from the room came the sound of someone flipping paper after paper from a book.

Inside the room was a woman with silver hair sitting in front of a table with an open window. He seemed to be reading a book that was only illuminated by the light of a candle in the dark of the night's skin from outside the window.

The night breeze blowing from outside the window made her hair blow and her face blush. Selena Argaient, the owner of this house. Her snow-white face, as well as the dim candlelight reflected in her beautiful emerald green eyes, displayed a captivating sight.

When he was focusing on reading a book, he suddenly stopped turning the book around. Not because he focused on the content on the sheet, but the focus was elsewhere. He immediately closed the book he read and placed it in the corner of the table where the book was neatly arranged.

“Come in, Captain Scott,”

After he said that, for a moment the room felt quiet. For a moment he was pensively staring out the window, until suddenly the sound of knocking on the door broke the silence of the atmosphere.

*Tok Tok Tok!

“I beg your permission to enter, Your Majesty

After a while the door opened, revealing a man with a disheveled appearance of black hair, it was Knight Captain Scott.

“You are amazing as always, Your Majesty. Even you can find out my identity even before I had time to knock on the door,”

Scott admires Selena's extraordinary perception of being able to sense her presence from a distance.

“Quite bases. Captain Scott, what made you come all these nights to see me?”

“Ah, so this is Your Highness.”.

“Is it about Luminas? Has Luminas started his training in swordsmanship? Or maybe something else?”

“!!!!”

Scott was quite surprised by Selena's accurate guess

“That's right, Your Majesty. Princess Luminas today she is practicing sword with me at the training ground,”

“So so... Faster than I expected,”

Selena nodded and stroked her chin.

“What should I do, Your Majesty?”

“..... Just do what you did. If he asks you to train him, then train him,”

Selena turned and looked out the window.

“But would it be okay if I taught him the sword? I don't feel I have enough skills to train him,”

Captain Scott appeared to defy the order, not because he disliked it, but because he felt unworthy.

“It's okay. Of all the knights who are here, I only trust you,”

“But Your Excellency ...”

“Captain Scott, don't underestimate yourself. Perhaps in your strength you are lacking when compared to an Aura Master, but regarding skills and experience I am sure you are not inferior. Because you are one of my confidants who have fought with me for a long time,”

Selena looked at Scott who was bowed with a heavy expression.

He understood that Scott felt inferior because he was still an Aura Knight, not an Aura Master. So he felt unworthy to teach a genius like Luminas.

Selena suddenly got up from her chair and gave a statement.

“I order you Captain Scott, as your queen and also as the leader of the Silver Snow Wolf Unit, to train my daughter Luminas in sword!”

“!!!!”

“Captain Scott, will you carry out this command?”

Selena gave a sharp look towards Scott.

*bom!

Scott knelt down firmly so as to knock his knees to the floor. The sound caused by his knee being hit was very hard, proving that the impact was not slow.

“YA, YOUR MAJESTY!!

After a while Scott knelt down, the sound of knocking on the door rang out again.

“Come in, Javis,”

The door opened, looking Javis who was still wearing his full armor.

“Sorry to disturb you, Your Highness,”

Javis walked forward and knelt beside Scott.

“Say your needs Javis. Is that about Luminas? If it's about him then Scott already told me,”

“Yes, Your Grace. But there's one thing Senior Scott misses about the Princess,”

“Losted? What is it?”

Selena and Scott looked curiously at Javis.

“Yes, I feel that the Princess has a very high intelligence, even tends to be too high compared to her current age,”

“... Yeah, I feel like sometimes when I talk to her, like I'm not talking to a little girl,”

Selena stroked her chin, agreeing with Javis' statement of Luminas being too intelligent for her age.

“Javis, do you know anything?”

Ask Scott who is still in a kneeling position.

“Yes, senior. I think the Princess is a reincarnated person but still has a previous memory,”

““....What?!””

They were both shocked almost at the same time.

“Javis, explain to me what you said,”

Selena stared intently at Javis, displeased at Javis's theory of his daughter.

“Yes, Your Grace. Regarding this, does it not make sense about all the greatness of the Princess if she is a reincarnator and still has a memory of her past?”

“.... I think so,”

Selena nodded as she felt Javis's stated opinion made sense.

“If he is this great, then of course the previous life that the Princess has is also amazing. He must have been a great figure in the past,”

“.... Then do you know who Luminas was in his past life?”

“For sure, there are not many people who have extraordinary talents that can be compared with the Princess in history.”.

Javis was putting on a very serious face as if all the statements he said were the truth.

“Of course the Princess in her previous life was...”.

““??””

Not only Selena, Scott who heard it was also curious.

Usually, if Javis says something, he ignores it. Because he knows Javis who likes to talk nonsense. But somehow this time Javis felt very reasonable and he felt it was worth listening to.

“Is the greatest emperor of all time, Empress Aria Von Medeia!”

“”.....””

After Javis said this, the atmosphere became quiet, Javis felt that Selena and Scott were so shocked by his clever statement that they were speechless.

“....Scott,”

“.... Yes Your Majesty,”

“Law dia.”

They both know that Javis is a big fan of Empress Aria.
