"The king of Malbork didn't give search permission?" Devian asked in disbelief. "Why? What about the prize?" Devian asked looking at his emissary who had just returned from the Malbork kingdom.

"He gave it all back." Answer the messenger.

"I was kind enough to offer peace but she refused." Devian stared dejectedly at his envoys.

"To be honest there's something strange about King Al." Said one of the men there.

Devian stared at one of his subordinates in astonishment. "What do you mean?"

"I feel like I've seen it, but I'm not sure." the man seemed hesitant.

"Call Torn to see me today, if Malbork doesn't allow us to search then war is inevitable." Devian looked at the person in the room in turn.

"Ta.. But Your Majesty, war is not the best course."

"Listen, if in less than a week you don't get any information about the whereabouts of the dissident's child you'll also die. I don't care, if I had to flatten the whole world to find that kid I would." Devian said furiously. "You should leave immediately, before I do something you never imagined."

"Baa.. Good Your Majesty!!" They quickly left the room.

Alexis sat on his rather majestic throne. He supported his chin with his right hand. Occasionally his red iris glanced at the officials seated in each of their seats that looked lower than Alexis' throne.

"Is there another problem?" Ask Alexis lethargic. "What are your other opinions and reports?" the look of Alexis evaporating made her eyes slightly watery. "You know, this is the most boring meeting I've ever been to?" Pissed Alexis. "Come, let's just end it, I want to take a break." Alexis continued as he stood from his throne.

"Yes.. Your Majesty!" Call one of the doubtful officials.

Alexis looked at the office. "What's wrong?"

"Ru.. Rumors of a fugitive from Lucery have spread, with some concerned.... "

"That's a lie." Cut Alexis in a flat tone. "I don't want to hear about that kingdom anymore or anything about them. We'd better end the meeting today." Alexis immediately stepped out of the room followed by his royal officials.

Alexis sat on one of the chairs in her room, her eyes closed even though she was not sleeping. His regular breaths, his perfectly looking face sculpted.

"Prince!" Howen bowed in salute to Alexis.

Alexis did not respond at all. Howen stared at Alexis's sleeping face.

"Well, you take a break." Gumam Howen.

A girl was running hastily down the dark forest road. Long brown hair is unraveled and looks tangled with foliage tucked in some parts of her hair. A sword in his hand, the incision of a sharp weapon wound seemed to still shed fresh blood from his right arm. His brown irises occasionally glanced warily at all directions in case someone followed him.

As he leaned behind the huge trees, he looked back anxiously hoping that no one would catch up to him. With a breath of breath he slumped to the ground. From her pocket the girl took out something, a white cloth that had begun to wear out with a faded color. Deftly his tiny hand immediately tied the top of his wound.

"Aslyn!!!" A successful loud noise made the girl jump in shock.

"A.. What are you doing here?" Omel the girl, the surprised expression still had not disappeared from her face.

"I have business around here, and I miss you a little. So, I took the time to stop by your house. But, you weren't there and here I found you." The man replied with a sincere smile.

"Be quiet, at least help me get home instead of you keep talking. You haven't changed at all." the girl extended her hand to the man before her.

With a smile he grabbed the girl's hand and helped her stand up. "I'll treat your wounds before I go." The man was sincere.

"Are you not busy? you've been forgetting me lately, Robbin?" Aslyn stared at the gray iris of the man beside her with a bitter smile.

"Only you always call me Robbin, I haven't forgotten you at all. There's something I want to tell you!" Robbin looked at Aslyn seriously. "It's about your family's death." Aslyn froze looking at her friend.

Geck... Geck.. Geck..

There was the sound of the door being knocked. Eyes with red irises slowly opened as soon as they heard a knock from behind the door of his room.

"Come in!!" command's short.

One hurriedly entered and saluted him.

"His Majesty Alexis, the kingdom of Lucery is coming again with some troops." Reported with a panicked face.

Alexis smiled obliquely. "Faster than I thought." Mumbled wailing. Alexis got up from her seat. "Fine, I immediately welcomed all my guests."

"Wait, Your Majesty! You stay here, me and the team will finish it, just tell me what your plan is." The man pleaded.

"No need, I'll see them with Howen myself." Alexis immediately stepped out of his room.

Howen appeared next to Alexis. "You looking for me, Prince?"

"Come, Howen!! Looks like we're going to be visited by the family." Alexis immediately walked ahead of Howen.

"We won't let you in, do you think only Lucery has an army?" The guard glanced over the Fortress along the border.

Dozens of archers lined up along the Fort with bows ready to be released, just waiting for the cue.

"I'll give you one more chance, open this door and the war won't happen." Torn is back to warning.

"The king has made his decision, don't expect you to get through this door." The guard stared intently at Torn.

"All right, I gave you a chance." Torn turned towards his army.

However, with a quick movement Torn attacked Malbork's main gatekeeper with a twisting kick. The guard was bounced off receiving an attack that he could not avoid. The guard grimaced in pain and tried to stand up.

The entire archers prepared to point their bows at Torn who had attacked his comrade. "Hold your attacks!" there was a loud voice that just came out of the gate.

With a casual step Alexis stepped out the gate with Howen. "What if you just come face to face with me?" Alexis rose as Torn turned to look at him.

Torn scrunched his forehead, as he was puzzled to see Howen there. But, looking at the person standing before him arrogantly made him think of someone he knew.

"H... Howen, by.. Her.. " Torn looked surprised and a moment later he had bowed in salute. Making the border guards there look astonished.

"How's uncle doing?" Greet Alexis with a slanted smile.

"Ma.. Sorry I made a little mess."

Alexis stared at the troops brought by Torn. "You even brought troops with you."

"Therefore I ask ma'af." Obviously Torn.

"We'd better talk in my palace." Take Alexis.

"Stana?" Torn scrunched his forehead while glancing at Howen.

Alexis sat down while crossing her legs, Howen standing right beside her. Torn sat across from Alexis' chair, staring at the Prince he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Looks like Howen, take good care of you." Torn glanced at Howen.

Alexis smiled knot. "He did everything for me, even he helped me get this throne and palace off the gambling table. Aren't I great?"

Torn raised next to his eyebrows in astonishment as if demanding an explanation from his interlocutor.

*back*flash*

A loud music filled the whole room. The people in neat clothes were like wealthy nobles. Some of them were sitting in a corner of the room with women in scanty and sexy clothes. The beer bottle within their grasp, the sound of loud laughter occasionally rang out.

On the second floor of a room with several sets of gambling tables in such a way. Some people start betting, if you look carefully, not just humans who are there. There were some demons also enjoying the art of the world with the humans.

"Haha.. I won again from you." There was an explosion of victorious laughter from someone.

"No.. You must be cheating... " Shouted his opponent angry at his defeat.

"Here you go, Doughlas accept your defeat." Said his opponent with a mocking smile.

He casually collected all the winnings he got from the gambling table.

"No, you cheated Darga. You must be cheating." Shouted Doughlas increasingly did not accept.

Darga's eyes glowed red. "Don't make me angry! Man must accept every defeat." Darga looks upset.

"What if you fight a worthy man?" alexis was standing from a chair in one corner of the room.

A woman is seen standing next to him, staring at an anxious Alexis.

"Sir, he's a dangerous man.. " Whisper the girl to Alexis.

"really? Honey, you don't have to worry I'll take everything he's got." Alexis blinked next to his eyes.

Alexis walked over to Doughlas' chair. "Stop away!" Alexis' orders are flat.

The Sontak Doughlas instantly shifted. "Are you afraid, King Darga?" Alexis asked with a mocking smile.

"You think I'm afraid of a snot like you?" Darga immediately sat back in his chair.

Alexis smile. "Howen!" Call her.

Before long Howen appeared right beside Alexis, making Darga surprised to stare at his opponent.

"Hows it? Can we start?" Ask Alexis defiantly.
