Glory Hunt's

Little Princess! (Part 2)

The path that I had not been so concerned with because I was fascinated by the sight of the floating island, now managed to make my eyes not blink by the faint runes on the left-right of the road, emitting a dim bluish light with a rhythm like a breath. Street lights hover in the air, high enough to avoid disturbing pedestrians and low enough to be safe for hovering vehicles that are at a certain height.

Up there, there is a transparent blue dome with its center coming from inside the palace located at the highest peak of the city.

A bright blue flare seemed to radiate upwards, looking so bright but not to the point of hurting my eyes, making me curious, using what energy did this giant protection dome create? It was definitely using something that was also capable of destroying the city.

Various kinds of races began to appear, walking with jokes and laughter, looking so peaceful and calm, making the heart feel comfortable. For the first time, I saw someone with the ears of an animal, such as a cat, fox, wolf, and so on. They even have tails!

Then he was amazed to see firsthand the Orcs who had a stocky body with a height of more than 2 meters and green. Red tribal stripes appear on their bodies.

There are on the whole body, one or both hands and only on the face. It may have a meaning or just their fashion choices. It could be both, considering the Orcs are very thick with tribes and things like that.

Then the Elves.

A race that has become one of the favorite races of lovers of the fantasy genre, not only because of their angelic appearance, but also because of the high level of sensitivity to magic. They were also creatures that looked elegant and full of dignity like a noble, even if the Elf was just an ordinary citizen in his native place.

It is common for an Elf to have high self-esteem considering they have the longest lifespan compared to other races and carry out noble tasks such as maintaining the forest and its contents that's my question now.

Are they okay to see tools and furniture made of wood?

I hope there's no problem.

Before long, I saw other races that included fairly rarely appear in both games, movies and comics, namely races that come from fire, like them, three people with average height, one female two males whose entire body is seen to be made of cold magma rocks with each crack flowing liquid magma that somehow, will never flow out of the path.

They walked up to me while telling me the occasional laugh, saying "Good night" as they passed me and continued on.

"They are the Ignis, a race from the east, deep in the desert area that is so hot that someone as strong as a papa feels exhausted there" explained the princess, I realized the full look of question marks on my face.

"They belong to one of the races that have just arrived in this world, only a few months different from Zent, but already one of the races that often help other races when a problem occurs"

Ohh, I didn't expect the princess to know so much about this world.

His intelligence was covered by a childish nature that did not appear until a second later when we passed a candy seller in the form of a unique blue cube, also emitting a little bluish light.

The princess ran there, trying to attract the attention of the seller while serving other buyers.

I hurried over, kneeling beside the princess while watching the sweets while on display on the table using a fine, cream-coloured wooden stick "Master wants it?" I asked, attracting the attention of the princess from the seller who is still busy serving.

The princess nodded quickly several times, looking so eager for the candy but confused how to get the seller to serve her. Without being able to prevent it, my hand had already gently rubbed the head of the princess "Master princess, can I ask for one thing from the princess?" I ask again and this time his attention really leads to me "Mr Princess see there are still many people who want to buy the candy is not it? And we're the last ones to come, so we have to.. "

"Introduction" replied the princess.

He glanced back, watching the candy that had begun to diminish, agitated, then looked back at me "But the candy was going to run out! I don't know if we can buy it again or not, especially I know Zent won't be here long. I want to buy it so Zent remembers this place and will come back"

At that moment I felt as if my heart had just been pierced by a knife.

How should I repay him?

Knowing that the princess seemed agitated not because she wanted candy, but because she wanted to make a memory, a memory.. Especially me.

I closed my eyes for a moment, tried to calm my heart, then braced myself to look at the princess right in the eyes of "Master Princess, I promise you, I will definitely return if that's what the princess wants"

"Zent promised?" Repeatedly ensured.

Strengthen yourself Zent.

"I promise"

"Aww, he really is a good guy and has a face that is too innocent. But, why could the princess so quickly get along with him? Didn't they just meet less than 5 hours ago?" Ask the blond knight who was now hanging under a tower, where Celine and the other knights were also while watching the two people below after making sure the surrounding area was safe.

"That's because lately Mr. Anderson was rarely at home, busy in preparation for the 'thing. Of course Luna will feel lonely, just imagine yourself living in a house that big but feels empty without the presence of someone.

The maids are still trying to spend time with him, but they also have their own duties while personal maid Luna has done various ways to open her heart, but still failed. Why do you think only Zent is capable of this?"

"You have just answered my question with a question" replied the knight, who was deliberately not touched.

"Because Zent is different" replied Celine, surprising her two best friends without even taking her eyes off the white-haired man who now gives the candy to the princess, making her prance happily.

A gentle smile formed on Celine's face without her being able to notice.

"I don't know why, there's something in him that makes people feel good, feel good..

Safe.

Maybe that's one of the reasons Luna became so clingy to him other than because of Mr. Anderson who lately rarely spent time with his daughter"

The two knights were silent at Luna's explanation, not because they disagreed, but because they felt the same way.

At the beginning they saw Zent, instead of being vigilant but feeling that he was completely harmless, not even having the slightest ill intent. Therefore they feel safe Luna along with herself in the hope that their assessment is not wrong.

Because if they do, they will never be able to forgive themselves.

While her two best friends thought about it, Celine thought about how she would treat him the same way she treated the princess. Could it be that she also had to appear adorable and jump around happily like Luna did now?

Just imagining it had made Celine half-dead disgusted until reflex hit the roof pillar right beside her, making both friends he gasped in shock and grimaced watching the crumbling wall while wondering what had made Celine act so strange.

The behavior that as long as they were friends, had never appeared even once. Only when Zent shows up..

The two knights looked at each other, smiled meaningfully, then simultaneously looked at their Captain who was leaning back against the barrier wall, still looking down.
