Beloved Princess

Border fight

"Baginda accept this" said Rere giving strands.

"you really gave this to me?"

"cn .. Find someone who needs it more"

"yes, okay"

"emm Your Majesty when to go?"

"the day after I left, why?"

"no-no, I just hope your Majesty returns safely" he said bowed.

"are you worried about me?"

"of course, Your Majesty is an Emperor and the Emperor is the heart of this empire, da-and.."

"dan?"

"and I want to get closer to His Majesty" he said lowered his head.

"yes I will be fine, I have brought the blessing of my daughter😌"

"yes I will wait for Baginda😁"

"Tok .. tok His Majesty is Alvin"

"in"

"No no. ehh princess good night" she said softly.

"good night Mr Alvin😊"

"Blushh 😳 t-lord?"

"don't call master, Alvin's just😒"

"ah good"

"why are you looking for me at night?"

"this is I'd like to share the latest news on the northern border"

"say"

"but.."

"let him hear"

"well, here's how the queen bat came to report, he said behind the bear monster there was a creepy figure that casts magic"

"creepy figure?"

His body was large and stocky then he had 4 big horns and 3 small horns on his head, his eyes were red and the head area was like a skull, he had long nails and had a noisy voice.

"where's the queen bat?"

"right now he's with Verla, he said when trying to get close to the creature his magic power was sucked and he immediately fainted after reporting"

"sucking magic power? what kind of creature is that?"

"so I had a chance to find a summary about the creature that was mentioned by the bat and there was one that I found rather similar"

"The fear

A mythological creature born out of fear and despair, she spreads fear throughout the place she comes to with just her voice, he is also believed to have the ability to absorb witch magic that is under his power.

The creature is also known to be able to control monsters with his magic, and ekheem, he has a habit of drinking the blood of small children"

"naugurator"

"br .br" Rere's body trembled at Alvin's last sentence until he accidentally dropped the cup in his hand.

"it's stupid why you say that while glancing at him" Ano said annoyedly.

"i-that was it.."

"out!"

"hikk🙊 yes yes"

Ano then approached the body of the little girl who was trembling in fear, then he took his seat and rubbed his head without saying anything, even so his actions could calm the boy down.

"are you calm?"

" .. " nodded.

"you'd better sleep at night"

"b-good"

"take him to Ver's room!"

"good Your Majesty"

"mister of the shadows, is the creature as hideous as that?"

"what is the princess afraid of?"

"hmm, what if your Majesty gets hurt?"

"i will protect Your Majesty even if I have to give up my life princess"

"sirguard comes into my room for a moment"

"but-but..."

"Ann I want to sleep alone, please go out with the others"

"sir putii😟"

"i'm grown up I can sleep alone"

"alright, good night, princess"

"iyaa Anna too"

Shortly after the ladies-in-waiting Rere pulled Vernando's hand to sit on his bed, though awkwardly the young man couldn't resist the orders of his daughter's master, Rere was seen busy scraping around the drawer and looking for something.

"ahhh meet"

"shadow master wear this"

"w-w-w-w-w-w-w-is this princess?" ask Vernando confused.

"just wear it, it will help you in a precarious situation later"

"but.."

"remember this is good either, when you are in a bad or critical state and have almost run out of magic (almost dead) hold it tightly and close your eyes, close your eyes, beg to stay alive and remember my name well"

"🤨"

"just obey, it's not perfect but believe me it can help you"

"do I deserve this from the princess?" asked Vernando doubtfully.

"why not? you will always be next to His Majesty to protect him, this is even less to repay your kindness😄"

"thank you"

"i'm not as good as the princess thought, my hands are too dirty to be held by her little hands" she said.

"now you may go back to His Majesty's room, but don't tell me about this"

"good"

After that Vernando went straight back to His Majesty's side, the man was already asleep even holding the documents on his couch, his eyes looking carefully at the sleeping man.

He remembered very well 10 years ago he was just a child that nobody wanted, even if he lived or died no one cared, in his memory there were no parents or themes around him, he's just an outcast kid who survives in the war zone.

When his life was on the edge of the young Emperor's handsome youth figure picked him up from the streets, even the Emperor did not hesitate to teach him swordsmanship and give him a magic teacher when he knew he could use magic.

"i owe you a lot, Sire, my life won't even be enough to pay for your kindness"

The day of departure, the entire army went to each other's fields to defend the border and repel the monsters, Bel in staying with half a squad of single Wolf Knights to guard the palace.

As planned, Ano leads a lone pack of Wolf Knights and takes Verla with him, while Vernando the Shadow Knight is sent to the northern border to deal with The Fear monsters specifically.

All the residents who saw the group of Knights incessantly shouted for safety, even saw some families whose children or husbands descended to the border field pay great respect.

Time did not stop running one day two days continued to grow until the moon changed, today is the second month of the Emperor and the Knights are fighting against the monster horde at the border, the, a sense of anxiety and uneasiness enveloped the entire population of the empire.

They had already heard that there were hundreds of Knights who had fallen in order to defend the border especially at the northern border, most of those who had fallen were knights who occupied the vanguard, the main line, monter bear attacks really hit them without regard to the physical wounded.

"Baginda bat queen came to report"

"say"

"the northern border has already lost almost half of His Majesty's army of knights and Lord Vernando has still not managed to defeat The Fear until now"

"so yeah? though only the child is the only one who can fight the monster, but if he still can't conquer it until next month then we can lose the entire army of twin wolves, but if he still can't conquer it until next month then we can lose the entire army of twin wolves, what about the southern and western borders?"

"The white wolves almost won the fight and they were the least of the troops to suffer losses, then for the western border the Black Wolves had a little trouble conquering the demon Ape king but their losses were still much smaller than the northern border"

"how many Knights have died?"

"in the north the last time was 278 Knights, in the south 89 Knights and in the west 159 Knights"

"hmm in the east I lost 62 so in total I lost 588 Knights, I almost lost 600 Knights due to the attack of that monster s*alan, my loss was even greater than the war last time" decak Ano is upset "go and report to Alvin to send a portion of the army of single wolves north, we can not let the northern border taken over by the monsters"

"good Your Majesty"

"ahh s*alan I'm a big loss because I do not have a Healer, if there are them for sure my troops will not die that much, just wait I will take care of you after this matter is finished, the br*ngsek Association base"
