“You're up? How are you doing?” greet Carine. Marc seemed to nod slowly as he rose from his long sleep. “You still owe me an explanation. Don't forget it” reply Marc even reminded.
Carine laughed softly. “Of course, I remember. Take it easy, I will definitely tell you” he promised. “Can you say it right now?” ask Marc impatiently.
Carine seemed to be sighing softly. “Your circumstances?” back to asking. “My circumstances are not important. Now the most important thing is the explanation I wait” urged Marc.
“OK, okay, I get it. Then, follow me” Carine said. He seemed to step out of the treatment room. Marc immediately pursued Carine's steps. He was quite surprised because Robin and Luc were nowhere to be seen.
“Where are my friends?” ask Marc on the road. “In a moment, you will also meet with them” Carine responded. Casually, he stepped down the vast meadow.
I told you, Gray's castle is indeed filled with grass, shady trees and charming flower gardens. Marc Bak, was adventuring in a wilderness.
Carine and Marc arrive in a room with a high double door. The door, made of iron, looks very scary. Not only because of its size, but also its shape is quite large.
But, this room isn't the one Gray used to visit. This room is sort of, a gathering room. Normally, Gray would devise a war strategy together with his special team, in this place.
Carine knocked on the door immediately. Shortly after, the door opened. Carine stepped in. Marc, who was behind him.
“Yes majesty, I brought Marc” said Carine. Gray seemed to understand. “He has recovered?” respond later. Carine simply replied with a shrug of her shoulder. “It seems, already. Because, he who is insistent wants to hear his explanation” continued Carine.
Gray, who was sitting in his chair, began to move closer to Marc. At first, Marc just looked down respectfully. After Carine slipped a word, ‘yang Mulia’ in each conversation. Marc thought he was the leader of the Death Hunters, as mentioned.
The rumors, however, are very clear. The leader of the Death Hunters, was once a former King. Because of his greatness, the King gets a special task from Heaven to take the lives of the demons, demons and the people of Abcaestter.
However, as Marc stared at Gray's face, he gasped. “Ma... Maximilien?!” pekiknya shock. Gray looked at Marc with a serious look and began to sharpen.
“True, I am Maximilien. Your best friend, who died in a terrible surprise attack from a demon from the Archeneux” clan, Gray said in response. “But, he is a demon too. Why could he just die, when the Archeneux clan killed him?” marc didn't think. To this day, Maximilien's death is still clearly imagined. However, this incident happened decades ago.
“A blood-sucking demon is the only demon that gets the longest life. Your nation can live up to 300 years old” explained Gray. Marc wants to protest again, unfortunately, Gray is still just starting his explanation. “However, that reality means absolutely nothing to you. Your nation, even wrong to use that privilege, to seek the benefits of each” press Gray angry.
For a moment, Marc looked down filled with guilt. What Gray said, everything is a reality that happened. The greatest and honorable demon nation, it turned out to have a bad record in the eyes of Heaven.
“Since the crimes committed by your people are increasingly rampant, it makes the Sky give a decision. That the bloodsucking devil, actually will die, if the world no longer needs it anymore.” said Gray stopped. He looked back at Marc. “Except, you and your three other friends” he continued.
Marc looked surprised. Quickly, he stared at Gray with a somewhat frightened expression. “You understand why it happened? Aren't you curious, why were you granted an exception by Sky?” firmly Gray.
“Sa..ya do not understand”
“That incident, will always be the biggest mistake of my life.
“Truely, will you always remember it? Then why don't you seem to care when Maximilien suddenly appears? I doubt you really remember it. Or just... pretend to remember it”
“I remember! I will always remember the mistake that left Maximilien dead!”
“You... kill him, Deval. Do you remember?” insist Gray in a cold tone. “Your highness, you can't press it so hard. He still hasn't healed properly. Please, let's discuss other issues” pinta Carine. He is moved to protect Marc, after the man is cornered by Gray.
Marc's tongue felt faint, when remembering the incident. He wasn't the one who killed Maximilien directly. But Maximilien's death began with his words.
“Yang Noble..” pinta Carine while trying to calm Gray. He seemed to gently stroke Gray's back, so that the man's emotions were even more ignited. Not wrong indeed, Sky sent Carine as a companion and emotional controller Gray.
Slowly, Gray calmed down. He was seen stepping towards his seat again. “And thank The Bride. Without him, you can never be forgiven by the heavens. He even, gave one of the seven legendary gems into your body. Therefore, you will never be able to die, before you can atone for all your sins” he said. Apparently, Gray was still upset when he talked about Maximilien's death again.
Sure, there's something big in there. Until Gray, can't stem his emotions. And sure, sooner or later, we'll all find out.
Hearing Gray's words just now, Marc felt as if he was losing a great deal of energy. It felt, Marc's body could not stand in that place anymore perfectly. However, the feeling instantly disappeared, after Marc felt the palm touch his forehead.
“Your highness, she has a fever again! In fact, I have said it repeatedly. Don't scold her! All this time, he had already felt a very troublesome punishment” Carine protested. “You always defended him! I see, it's all for his good! Stop spoiling him too much. You are, always!” reply Gray upset. Despite her anger, she still couldn't be that angry with Carine. He is weak.
But, this little quarrel felt like something else. Marc felt that this was a similar argument, when father and mother were discussing their naughty children. Marc felt he was the bad boy.
But that's impossible, isn't it?
“If she's still sick, tell her to sleep in the upstairs room. Anyway, if he continues to be in the treatment room, he will long heal” Gray scolded. “Rav, take Marc to his room. I have to speak four eyes with his majesty” orders Carine. Gray looked indifferent while straddling.
Raven, suddenly appeared from behind the door, after getting an order. Without further ado, Raven immediately points the way to Marc. Although still a little confused, Marc also stepped behind Raven.
Before stepping out of the room, Raven gave Gray a code. So that the man, not to forget his message. Gray must be kind to Carine, to make amends for her past mistakes.
Indeed, it is a must that I do. But... telling me to stay alert to Marc is baseless! How could he have so plainly stated that Marc could have taken him away from me. Hmh! Where are there such rules? Put on a supposition, if Carine suddenly breaks ties again! Although at any time, Carine will still be destined with me. Because from the beginning, he was an inseparable part of me. Hence, even though she was reincarnated a hundred times, Carine remained a part of my soul. Fuck, fucking dragon! After all, in Carine's eyes, Marc was a precious child to her, Gray thought long.
Looking at the pensive Gray, Carine was suddenly curious. Inwardly, he began to second-guess the words that would come out of Gray's mouth. If not anger or anger. It could also be an unexpected act.
Like, the one before. And if that were true, Carine would be the happiest woman in the world.
