The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet, it was because of Yula's speech a few seconds ago. He said firmly, that he rejected the proposal of Prince Alfaro, who came to propose to Miya. It made Prince Alfaro frown with an annoyed face.
"What does this mean, Mr. Yula? Are you playing me, prince of Ryura kingdom?"
Prince Alfaro looked at Yula with a cold gaze, as he said that. Yula looked at Prince Alfaro for a moment, then she shook her head.
"It's not like it's a prince, you also know if Miya is my chosen child. Which means she is the next successor of the Rula family, if Miya marries you then Miya status will change to princess and she will not be the successor of the family.
From the past, the Rula family has never replaced the successor that has been chosen by the dragon protector, if that happens we are worried that something bad will happen because it violates the rules that have long existed."
After saying that Yula slightly glanced towards Rika and Filo who were sitting next to Miya, their expressions were very calm even though Yula's remark sounded like insinuating the two of them, if the position of the head of the family was taken by someone other than Miya then the Rula family would be destroyed.
Growing suspicious of their reactions, Filo usually quickly ignited emotions. He was also the most unstable, but now he just kept quiet and listened to everything without interrupting.
'They must be planning something, I suspect their nature is suddenly calm. Moreover, the person behind Prince Alfaro, he is very suspicious'
Yula's inner voice, she grew suspicious of all those things. In addition to a knight standing behind Prince Alfaro was very suspicious, the knight was allowed to enter by Prince Alfaro, on the grounds of protecting him inside. The aura he showed was very unnatural, it was as if he was not the original owner of the body.
To others, he may seem ordinary. But, Yula was a dragon who had the special ability of being able to see the aura of a person, she saw the foreign aura of the knight's body.
Fortunately, Yula's ability is only known by Miya, Kasumi, Rion and Yohan. Usually the special abilities of the protective dragon will only be notified to the child he chooses, but Yula's current situation is different.
This was advantageous to their side, so that the enemy exposed the gap as it was now, Yula became convinced that her curiosity was very useful.
Prince Alfaro let out a slow breath, he looked disappointed at that moment, but Yula knew in fact he harbored only his anger, and a disappointed expression in front of him.
"If that's what you're saying, then I'll obey. However you are the most formidable dragon entity and protector of this family, as I have already come here so I decided to stay one day. What can?"
Yula nodded in agreement.
"Of course the prince, it's an honor for us"
Yula still said that without bowing her head in front of the prince, although at a glance she saw the prince's cold gaze pointing at her.
"Allow me and my brother to take you to the room, this is the prince"
Said Rika, who finally did something. He immediately guided Prince Alfaro out and to the room that had been provided, Miya and Filo also went with him.
Because of the prince's purpose, he came to propose to Miya, so he had to take the prince to his room, even though Yula had already rejected the proposal.
Before they came out, the knight who was beside prince Alfaro glanced at Yohan who was sitting beside Kasumi, he slightly smiled. A scary smile, for Yohan.
After that they left, leaving Kasumi and the others still in the living room.
Yula leaned her body against the chair, while covering her horn with hair.
"I, feel a different aura in the prince's knight"
Yula said, after she felt sure there was no one outside, other than the knights belonging to Kasumi and Yohan.
Everyone who was still there looked towards Yula, they were still sitting in the same position as before. Kasumi, Yohan and Rion sit across from Yula.
Yohan nodded at Yula's words, and she spoke while still looking at the tightly closed door.
"Right, I saw the aura of someone being controlled by a descendant of a black mage"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huhuh?"
"A..what's up?"
Everyone who heard Yohan's words were shocked, even Yohan herself seemed to have unconsciously said that.
"A..are you serious prince Yohan?"
Yula asked, ensuring the clarity of Yohan's words and she nodded even with a doubtful face.
"That's right, don't you feel it's the dragon lord?"
"No, I mean. I did feel a strange aura from him, but I had no idea what it was. And you say that it's the aura of a man under the control of a black witch!"
"Yohan, are you seriously saying that? The black witch doesn't even exist anymore"
Kasumi said that with a cold expression, she was very worried if Yohan's remark was correct. So Yula and Miya are in big trouble, because a person who deals with black magicians is no good.
'But, the power level of the demon race and the black magician is higher than that of the demon. So, I can defeat her because now that I am the princess of the demon kingdom, why am I so panicked?'
Thought Kasumi, he forgot that his status now was not that of a human as it used to be but that of a demon race that possessed great mana power on par with a dragon. Although, Kasumi is only 9 years old.
"I know that aura, because a few years ago in my kingdom there was a sudden attack, and they had the same aura as those knights. When the royal party traced the incident turned out to be done by a black witch."
Yohan explained the reason she was able to recognize the aura, which made Yula dizzy because of it. That means he has more serious problems now, also why would a prince of another country have a relationship with a black magician only he wants to propose to a girl? Yula was sure, prince Alfaro had more serious intentions than 'just' proposing.
Rion was silent as if he was thinking something, he recalled their conversation last night.
"Perhaps, what is possible if it is also related to the half human blood that is on the hands of the Miya brothers? From the information I know, black magicians always need a lot of casualties if they want to do something."
Yula made her eyes perfectly, when she heard Rion's words.
"What do you mean prince?"
Yula asked again, her face hardened which indicated that she was surprised because of it.
Rion looked at Kasumi for a moment, and Kasumi explained their conversation yesterday that had not been told to Yula.
Kasumi took a deep breath, then told Yula what they saw yesterday.
We get suspicious, if all of this was planned by the prince and Miya's brother was involved."
Kasumi ended her remark, she looked at Yula who was sitting across the street with a serious look. This problem became big, according to what Kasumi was worried about yesterday.
"A..what does that mean?"
The sound of someone breaking the silent atmosphere of that moment, all of them turned towards the door that showed someone entering and it was Miya.
He had already escorted the prince, so he immediately went back to his friends, to report if the prince had not shown any suspicious movements.
But, he instead heard things that greatly shocked him and beyond belief. Yula approached Miya who was still in the doorway, she had already closed the door earlier.
Yula touched both of Miya's shoulders, which made them look at each other right now.
"Miya, your sister's actions-"
"I know"
Miya cut off Yula's words, she lowered her head with trembling hands. Yula also asked the meaning of Miya's words earlier.
"What do you know, Miya?"
Miya started to open her mouth, she explained with a trembling body.
"Before, before I invited you to flee into the world within. At that time I went into the workspace that was done by Rika, there I read one of the documents containing color complaints. They report that some half-human citizens are missing, and that's just teenage girls."
Kasumi instantly interrupted Miya's words as she heard her story, she immediately stood up in surprise.
"Adolescent woman? What, the number of people missing is a lot?"
Miya nodded confirming, the number of half-humans lost at that time was more than 20 people.
"Although that's the case, brother did not immediately take action. He ignored their reports, at that time I felt angry, because my brother ignored the voices of the people in the territory that my father and mother left behind.
But, I can't fight my sister because of my trust in her who believes that she always does good things, but now Yula has convinced me. So I'll no doubt say if Rika's sister might have sold the missing half-human to someone, or killed him."
Miya said that with a serious face, Kasumi had a wild assumption that said if the incident in this middle world, had something to do with the case of the disappearance of teenage women in the Viscount Delta region.
If this is true, then Miya's problem is now Kasumi's problem as well.
Kasumi looked at Rion, who was standing beside her, it seemed like she also had the same thoughts as Kasumi.
"I think this-"
Kasumi stopped her speech, she rounded her eyes perfectly and then immediately ran towards Yula who fell right in front of Miya. Seeing that, made everyone there startled and immediately called out Yula's name simultaneously.
"JUL!"
"Yula, you're okay hey!"
Miya tries to resuscitate Yula who suddenly fell, she shakes her body rough in the hope that Yula will wake up immediately.
Kasumi and Rion try to help, they move Yula to the sofa she was sitting on.
Yula was still unconscious, until suddenly Yohan yelled and pulled everything close to Yula away from her.
"AWAS!"
after Yohan said that, Yula woke up but she instead attacked them using her gray sword.
Yula's eyes, which were originally gray, had now turned white. Seeing that it left Kasumi and the others confused, Yohan helped them stand up and explained what happened. He put away his hair and his crystal eyes looked shiny.
"M. stay away from me, A. I can't control my own body!"
Yula said so weakly, a black colored aura was visible in that beautiful Yohan's eyes, she said it with a serious face.
"Yula.he's under someone's control. His consciousness is now very thin,"
Kasumi and Miya were shocked simultaneously, Rion was silent for a moment then he looked back at Yula who was still holding the sword in her hand.
"L.protect Miya, t.please"
Yula just kept talking with a flat face, she could still maintain her consciousness despite being thin. So, he tells the others to protect Miya while she is in control.
"we have to find the black announcer, the way to free Yula is to take her liaison item."
Rion says what she knows about the black magician, then Yohan re-opens her mouth while pointing out the window.
"The black magician is outside. He's laughing at us"
Everyone's gaze immediately focused towards the place Yohan pointed at. And a woman in a red robe, out of there.
'Red robes! He, the evil devil's follower!'
The woman smiled, then she cast a spell and the dome to make a sound was made, and it covered most of the mansion.
"Let's start, the bride's abduction? hehe"
He said that with a face that looked like crazy, everyone who saw it instantly fell silent on him.
'Attempts, bride?'
From that word, Kasumi knew who the person behind the appearance of this black magician was. He must be Prince Alfaro.
