"Even your rank is like a courier." murmured Vel with his flat face looking at Kel.

"ARGH YOU GUYS ARE!I was the only one who could send people within thousands of kilometers within a few minutes! I should have been paid a lot for that!" answer the emotion.

"HAVE DONE!SHUT UP OR I'LL FINISH YOU!" said Bel to be emotional.

"Well." replied Vel and Kel simultaneously.

"And also.I would have thought a love between them would be interesting.Hihi!" said Bel with a sly smile.

"Who do you mean?" ask Vel and Kel at the same time.

Episode 80's

It has been 1 week Lily, Zergan is in Darvin territory.It is time they return to the capital.Crown Prince and Lucas have returned 2 days earlier to report.

"Lily, I want to come with you.I'll be fine." said Yesra.

"No, can't Zergan say you still need a break.The mother of the city is also not a suitable place to be your recovery place, it will only add to the burden." Lily replied.

"Hmm.right but.."

"Yesra, think about your situation first.We will go there together when the construction of the village is complete" said Ian persuaded Yesra.

"All right, brother." said Yesra.

Lily could only smile faintly.Yesra could only grumble indistinctly at Yusto who did not understand what Yesra said.

"Lily, the longer we've met so rarely.I want to be by your side but for now it's going to be hard" said Ian.

"I know that. How else, lately problems keep coming." Lily replied with a thin smile.

'To be honest I am also very tired and want to spend time on vacation.' Lily cried in her heart.

"I'm still worried about your brother's condition.He seems to have a lot of thoughts." said Ian.

"Geez are you worried about Lucas?Funny thing!" lily said jahil.

"Silver is always a lot of thoughts.The burden he has borne so far is very much. Although there is a brother Ken who is loyal to help him but I feel his burden is not reduced." continued Lily.

"Your sister needs rest.Take her to go to a quiet place for a vacation" said Ian suggested.

"I'll do it when things get better." Lily replied.

Zergan, who had been waiting for a long time in the horse-drawn carriage, was upset that Ian had held Lily for too long.

"Oi!Let's go!" zergan shouted from the car.

"Based on the boy.Can't he hold on for a minute? It sucks.." Lily muttered annoyedly.

"Lily, be careful on the road.May the gods always protect you" Yusto said.

"Lily, hurry up and marry your sister to keep you here!" yesra said with excitement.

Lily's face turned crimson.Ian could only smile cunningly and glanced at Lily.

"What-what?!" ask Lily to Ian.

"No." replied Ian as he chuckled lightly.

"Basic!"

In addition, Yusto can only smile bitterly.Now he knows that Lily will never be hers.Hati feels pain but that's the reality.

"I'll take Lily to the portal. You guard the castle and do not forget to have the servants prepare a banquet, while Duke Ricardo will arrive." Ian told Yusto and Yesra.

"Good!" answer them simultaneously.

Lily and Ian immediately headed for the horse-drawn carriage.The beginning of Lily's troops and some of Ian's envoys were specifically beside the horse-drawn carriage to keep Lily's safety completely.

"Egh.I'm not used to riding a horse-drawn carriage.." murmured Zergan felt nauseous and dizzy.

"You're drunk on a 4-wheeled vehicle.Let alone the horse carriage, even ride the ATV you have been nauseous all the way." said Lily.

"I just want to sleep.." Zergan was about to lie down but he forgot that his height was not supportive.

"AMG!!" the troops outside who were guarding were shocked to hear the sound of a very loud clash of Zergan's head.

Ian knocked on the window of the train because he was shocked and worried about what was happening inside.Lily immediately opened the window and found Ian's shocked face.

"What's up Ian?" ask Lily.

"What's going on?his voice was very loud, as was the cry of Saint Zergan." asked Ian in wonder.

"Eh? Sounded? Though this train is quite soundproof because of the special tight escort." said Lily confused.

"really?But his voice was very loud.."

"Head Zergan banged when he was about to lie down.When he knew that his height was very unsupportive.You alone do not fit lay what else he." clearly Lily was worried after knowing the impact sound was loud enough to sound outside the horse carriage.

"It looks like he's in a lot of pain." said Ian anxiously.

"It's okay, she's resilient" Lily said with a smile.

"Ah.good."

Lily closed the window and looked at Zergan sharply.

"Take me." said Zergan with a flat face but annoyed.

"No.You can treat yourself!" reply Lily.

"You can't use healing magic on yourself.Do you not know?" asked Zergan while rubbing his head which was very painful.

"I just found out.Then come here, I'll treat your head." Lily patted the bench over him, asking Zergan to sit there.

"All right.." Zergan moved next to Lily.

Lily immediately treated Zergan's head before it got worse. Ian was outside a little curious what Lily and Zergan were talking about since then.Although it only sounded slow, but Ian could hear the language they used differently.

"I want to learn their language hmm." murmured Ian.

"Lord, did you say anything?" ask one of the knights behind Ian.

"No." answered Ian quickly.

Lily finished treating Zergan's head.The feeling of dizziness is still a little felt by Zergan because of drunk land.

"I want to sleep." murmured Zergan with his pale face.

"Look at me, I'll wake you when we get to the capital" Lily said.

"Alright.thank you.." Zergan immediately leaned on Lily's shoulder.His adorable brown eyes looked extremely exhausted.

"You want to stop by my mansion?I'll make you your favorite chicken porridge" Lily asked.

"I'll send the pigeons to Demian later." replied Zergan.

"Well, you want soda?" ask Lily again.

"ahaha!Who's got soda in this day and age?"

"Right, I'm lucky you didn't try to kill me again like you did on tour."

"hey-hey!I didn't mean it!'

Zergan stared at Lily's long white arm that was so smooth.The hand he used to see was full of whip scars, black and once broken, now completely different.Without realizing, Zergan had gently rubbed Lily's arm.

"Why?" lily asked, so she was not surprised by Zergan's behavior.

"If you hadn't felt that torment in the past, would your hands be the same as they are today?" asked Zergan in a low tone.

"Hmm, I don't know.My hands aren't as white as they used to be.I'm really like someone who never took care of myself." Lily replied with a faint smile.

"Did it, since my departure your mother's torment worsened?since coming here I've always thought of that." asked Zergan lethargic.

'Zergan's voice was so soft, only this time I heard it.'

"Yes, he once poked one of my eyes and sold it.I'm blind next door." replied Lily.

Zergan was stunned to hear him.He knew very well what Lily felt first and how he went through it alone without her.Before she left, she was,Zergan was always there beside Lily to defend her from her cruel stepmother.Even after her departure the cruelty did not stop.The annoyance continued to accumulate on Zergan's chest and felt very painful.

"Sir."

"Hm?What's?"

He grasps Lily's hand tightly.Difference in the size of their hands is very clear.The taste in Zergan's hand is very visible because of his very tight grip.

"I promise to continue to protect you..I'll never leave you again.Until any time." said Zergan slightly bluffing his teeth.

Lily smiled faintly and leaned her head against Zergan's head.

"Thank you, Zergan, I believe you." Lily said.

"Of course you have to believe!I'm your best friend!" zergan.

"Yes yes" Lily replied.

"True, like that, from the past onwards.We are friends in the next life and so on.Yes, as it continues." said Zergan while nodding his head.

"Then you promise?" lily asked with her little finger.

Zergan smiled faintly and hooked her little finger on Lily's finger.

"Of course I promise." replied Zergan.

"Huhu, I believe that.Sleep."

"Yes." Yeah."

Lily smiled thin.His eyes glazed so moved with Zergan's attitude that never changed.Very excited, he was also handsome and popular on campus first, smart and had a lot of talent, he was also,at the same time a very loyal friend and continue to be at his side to support every step.

'I am grateful to have met you Zergan.Either what can I do then and now without you. I hope you're happy next too.'

Without them noticing, they had already reached the portal of the city-region.

"Lily, open the window" said Ian, tapping on the window.

Lily opened the window and found herself and her entourage had already arrived in front of the portal.

"We have to split up here" Ian told Lily.

"True.We'll meet again later.I'll be waiting for you." Lily replied with a smile on Ian.

Ian returned Lily's smile with a faint smile. As soon as he saw something strange, Ian tilted his head.

"What's wrong?" ask Lily.

"Why don't you move?" ask Ian.

"Zergan fell asleep on my shoulder, so I couldn't move around so he could be comfortable.I pity him for being so drunk on land like this." Lily replied.

Ian frowned.Lily who was confused by Ian's expression could only stare innocently at him.

'Just look at the guy, how dare he sleep on Lily's shoulder!I will not forgive him!' inner Ian.

Ian got off his horse and opened the door of the carriage.Lily who was confused by Ian's behavior was just silent.Ian clasped Lily's hand and kissed the back of his hand.

"Lily, I 'promise' to keep you happy all my life.Until now you will be the only woman who will fill my heart.If one day there is another man who makes you happy more than me,then I'll kill him." said Ian flatly but impressed romantically.

Lily was amazed and embarrassed at the beginning of Ian's speech but was immediately shocked at the end of his words.

"N-no need to kill!I will definitely choose you anyway because you are the only man for me." Lily blushed a little.

Ian smiled faintly and then let go of Lily's hand.

"Be careful on the road.I'll be there soon to see you." said Ian.

"I'll wait." Lily replied.

Lily and Zergan's entourage entered the portal leaving the Darvin region back to the Capital.

Ian was still there staring at Lily's departure. Although soon they will meet but longing has appeared in Ian's heart.

"Great master, it's time to return" said one of the knights.

"I miss him." murmured Ian.

"The madam candidate just left.you already miss her..?" ask the knight was astonished and shocked.So did the other knights.

"He's gone too long!When did he come back?It's been 2 minutes since he left he should have been back" Ian said bluntly.

"Big master.he just left!" say another knight.

"Hmm, can't it?"

'Wawat!The great master is already insane!Madam hurry back!' inner troop.

Lily who was still on the portal route thought of something that had plagued her mind since yesterday.

"The Crown Prince's gaze on Yesra was very strange at that time, hmmm." Lily said while thinking seriously.

Without him knowing.They have arrived in the capital.Lily is still busy thinking.

"Your Majesty." call someone from outside the carriage while tapping on the window.

Lily regained her senses and immediately opened the window.

"What's the priest?" ask Lily to Zergan's subordinate priest.

"His Majesty the Saint is asleep but we have reached the capital, will he be awakened?" ask priest.

"He will return to the mansion with me.The Zergan's entourage will return to the temple." replied Lily.

"Okay, Your Highness Saintess." The priest immediately told his entourage and returned to the holy temple first.Day has begun to afternoon and the sky began to turn orange.

"A strange feeling.Hm?" raindrops began to fall from the sky.When the sky was so bright bluish orange, but soft rain fell slowly from the sky.Added the wind that blows softly.

"was beautiful.. Like a jewel.." muttered Lily in amazement as soon as she looked out.

Zergan woke up from his sleep because of the rain drops that entered.He saw Lily facing out the window with a face that was so happy.

'He smiled.'

Seriate...
