Arcana Legend

Imperial Special Forces

The next day...

Ziruko woke up from his sleep. He looked towards the side. There was no Kagura beside him.

Ziruko felt a bad feeling. He thinks there's a problem going on. After that Ziruko rushed to put on his robe, and walked out of his room.

There were soldiers running here and there. Now Ziruko was convinced that there was a problem going on.

Ziruko asked one of the soldiers running towards him. The soldier said Princess Azalea was missing. How surprised Ziruko was to hear the news, he immediately helped the others to search for Azalea.

Several hours had passed, but Ziruko and the others still had not found Azalea. Emperor Luis ordered everyone in the empire to gather before him.

Emperor Luis spoke to everyone about this.

"Did anyone find Azalea?"

Everyone answered no. After that Emperor Luis asked another question.

"Have any of you seen General Nathan?"

Everyone answers "no" again.

"It looks like it's all connected. Between the loss of Azalea and the disappearance of Nathan. I feel that Azalea was taken to Astar Kingdom and Nathan is trying to save her."

Ziruko looked a little confused, he felt that there was something odd about the words of Emperor Luis. Emperor Luis said it like he knew it all. After that Emperor Luis resumed his talk.

"I've made sure of this. I got word from Aslan that he saw a horse carriage going to Astar Kingdom. He said it was likely that the horse carriage came from the Rossweild Empire. So, for that we have to make sure it goes there first. I've been thinking about the solution. We don't have to send in all the troops we have. We're just here to confirm the news Aslan gave us. For that, Kagura. You're free to choose who you'll be with, but not more than one chariot."

"Well," that's what Kagura said after hearing that.

This meeting is over. Everyone disperse from this place, as well as Ziruko. He was called by Kagura.

"Ziruko, don't go yet!"

"What's Kagura?"

"There's something I want to talk about."

"Then don't talk about it here."

Ziruko and Kagura went to his room.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Before that, why did you use this place for us to talk to each other?"

"There's nothing special. Get to the point!"

"I want you to come with me to go to Astar Kingdom."

"Hee~~ why me?"

"I need your strength. I don't need weak people. This could be a bad sign."

"What bad sign?"

"This could lead to war. So, I have to bring in strong people alone to prevent unwanted things from happening."

"All right then."

Suddenly the door opened. They both looked at the door. The one who opened the door was Irina.

"You two, I'm coming with you."

"So you eavesdropped on me, Irina," said Kagura.

"Even if I'm not invited, I'll stay."

"Is that how much you care for your brother?"

"Of course."

"Then don't talk much anymore. We're looking for another strong man."

"Who are we going to take you next, Kagura?" ask Ziruko.

"We're going to bring along an important person, Violet."

"All right then."

They both went to Violet. There was Violet training with the soldiers. Kagura approached her while saying something.

"Violet you're not tired of training these people."

"This is my duty Miss Kagura."

"So yes. How about I invite you to come with me to go to Astar Kingdom."

"All right, I'll come along. It's an honor. Then who's going to go there?"

"For now there's only you, Irina, and Ziruko."

"Oh, so so. You gather strong people huh?"

"That's absolutely right."

"So next you're gonna have to take that guy."

"Yes, I'll take the glasses slacker."

Next they went to the library. When he arrived at the library, Kagura spoke loudly.

"Oi, Eliza where are you? do you still have no job here? your job is just reading books."

"Whisper you Kagura!"

Ziruko was surprised to see Eliza. Because before Eliza did not show her face because it was blocked by books.

"What did Kagura call me?"

"The emperor told you to go to Astar Kingdom."

"You're just lying, too."

"Makanya was in the gathering. Azalea was lost, and it seemed to be taken to Astar Kingdom."

"If so, I'll go with you."

Ziruko looked a little disappointed by Kagura's attitude. Emperor Luis told Kagura, not Eliza. Kagura managed to seize the opportunity in narrowness.

After that Kagura spoke again. He had a conversation with Ziruko.

"If we count, we have five. Looks like enough now we'll find the one riding the horse."

"If it's easy, just tell one of the soldiers."

"Can't! I need to find a strong man!"

"Why? just riding a horse-drawn carriage."

"It's not so Ziruko, you shouldn't take things for granted."

"Certainly the reason why? try explaining!"

"Why do I need a strong person? the answer is easy, I decided it was because if we let ordinary soldiers guard our horse carriage when we go to Astar Kingdom?"

"That's it."

"Added if our horse-drawn carriage is confiscated, what do we ride home? the horse-drawn carriage is the key to us escaping from there."

"But it could be just relaxing there."

"We better anticipate the unwanted."

"Who are you going to ask?"

"Maybe not a good person. But he's been proven strong, and he's the loyal type."

"Is that your boyfriend?"

"No, no, all this time I wasn't interested in anything like that. I'll be your future wife anyway. I can't dirty my heart with someone else's feelings."

"I'm confused as to what I should do when you say that. Should I be happy?"

"Yes, be happy."

They all went underground. Suddenly Violet said something.

"Don't the person you're referring to is that person."

"Yes that man."

"Areally who is that guy?" ask Ziruko.

"Look at it later." replied Kagura.

Kagura stopped in front of the D-26 cell.

"Are you still alive?"

"That voice..is that you Kagura?"

"Yes I'm Kagura, Bard."

Bard immediately stood up and approached Kagura.

"I'll ask you to come with me."

"I'm sorry but I can't serve you right now, Kagura."

"It's okay I'll ask permission from Emperor Luis to release you. Because now he won't be able to refuse my request."

"What happened?"

"Azalea's missing and apparently kidnapped."

"It seems to cause a big stir huh."

"Of course."

Somehow but Bard broke the chain that bound his hand, and he smashed the cell bars.

"Look easy, when I was going to open it" said Kagura.

Ziruko was surprised to see his strength. After that they went out of the palace and boarded a horse carriage driven by Bard.

"This will be the Empire's Special Forces," Violet said.
