Will pays homage like a knight who serves the country and obeys its leader. Ares felt he had to follow the knight's movements to pay his respects.
Queen Ajanta smiled.
Will started talking.
“Okay Her Majesty the Queen, I found them in the palace courtyard. They want to see you queen,” Will explained to Queen Ajanta.
Queen Ajanta nodded. His hands move.
“Queen, my name is Ares and the one in my arms is Felicia. I am from the capital Deolinikia. There the government developed a terrible technology. Felicia's father was a professor who created me. The professor and his wife are in danger.
Previously, we were also chased by special forces. But I can finally get Felicia out of the capital. We are here to ask for help and protection from the queen.
We also wanted to help the professor and his wife but because of our condition it was impossible. Moreover, we are just the two of us and Felicia is still too small,” explained Ares to Queen Ajanta.
Queen Ajanta nodded in understanding of the situation experienced by Ares and Felicia. His heart was touched to see the unconscious Felicia in Ares's sling. Finally the queen decided to help and take care of them.
“Alright, after I consider you deserve protection from this kingdom because you have walked the right path.
I will let you stay here until Felicia grows up and you can prepare a plan to help the professor and his wife,” Queen Ajanta said firmly.
“Thank you, Queen,”
“Will, prepare them room for rest. Call Selly and the waiter to take care of Felicia.
While Ares later delivered to the technique to fix his body. I want them to be in good shape tomorrow,” Queen Ajanta told Will.
“Good, Queen. Ready to carry out the task,” Will replied obediently.
They left the large hall. Will shows a large room with a carpet and sofa. And a bed. Some Desk cabinets And Chairs. There was Selly and two servants.
They had already prepared the food and equipment needed to clean Felicia up. New clothes, hair ties, footwear and everything else. Some dolls were also brought.
Ares felt he didn't have to worry about Felicia. Ares also escorted Will to the technology section to be cleaned and repaired some damaged parts. The Zelinekia Kingdom treats its guests well.

The next day the sunlight entered Felicia's bedroom window. Someone opened the balcony window, making the room even brighter. Felicia woke up while rubbing her eyes. Felicia yawns wide. It seems like last night he slept too well.
He looked to the right side of the bed. A young woman in all-round clothes
cool white with two swords tucked to the right and left of his waist. Her hair is blond in a horse. Her face was firm and beautiful. The woman looked at Felicia happily.
“Hai, you're sober. Are you hungry?” Ask Felicia the woman.
Felicia nodded.
However, before getting out of bed Felicia asked the woman a question.
“Who are you? Where is Ares?” Ask Felicia slowly.
“My name is Selly, part of the royal knight. I've been taking care of you since last night. Ares is taking a break in the tech room. You don't have to worry because all of Ares's needs have been met. Your name is Felicia, right?” Selly said to Felicia.
“Ya, thank you,” Said Felicia.
Felicia got out of bed. He realized that his clothes were white. His old clothes were torn and seedy and there were blood stains.
Felicia then remembered that she had a wound. When he touched his temple, there was a bandage covering his wound.
“Queen has been waiting in the lower hall for breakfast together. Ares is probably already there. Come on, here hold my hand. Your body is still too limp,” Selly said.
Sure enough when stepping foot Felicia almost fell. Felicia decides to hold Selly's hand tightly. Selly led Felicia downstairs to the lower floor, precisely in the main hall.
In the large hall had prepared long chairs and dining tables for the entire occupants of the palace. A very good breakfast.
Inner Felicia in heart.
Felicia was sitting right next to Ares. They are close to Queen Ajanta. The dishes are varied and everything looks delicious. Felicia was excited to see all the dishes.
“All ladies, it's time for breakfast. Let us always be grateful for all the blessings from God to us,” Queen Ajanta said before the breakfast event began.
After that the breakfast began and the clanking of spoons that clashed with forks dyed the entire hall. No one's talking. Everyone focused on their plates.
Ares doesn't eat just feed Felicia. Felicia ate her food greedily. Ares was delighted to see Felicia back in excitement. Until the meal was over, Queen Ajanta finally introduced her guest to the palace residents.
“We have guests from the Capital of Deolinikia. They are victims of the crime there. We must protect those who walk the path of truth,
like our royal motto. This little boy's name is Felicia and Ares' robot. We will treat them like honored guests,” Queen Ajanta said in a melodious voice.

“Felicia today I want to take you for a walk around the palace. I want you to know everything here so that if you need anything you can find it yourself,”
Queen Ajanta said to Felicia while stroking Felicia's hair. Felicia just nodded.
Felicia was led by the queen to first place. A spacious room like a field on the right side of the kingdom. There two white knights were training and teaching the soldiers.
Those who saw Queen Ajanta coming immediately kneeled in reverence before continuing their respective activities.
“Felicia, this is the royal field.The place where every soldier, nobleman, and white knight practiced. The coordinators of this place were the knights Max Tiger and Kagaya. They are strong knights. Max Tiger has a great humor. While Kagaya may seem a little stiff,” Queen Ajanta said with a smile.
Queen Silvanna pulls Felicia to approach Kagaya and Max Tiger on the sidelines.
They smiled when the queen came. Felicia is initially afraid to see Max Tiger, and hides behind Queen Ajanta and Ares.
“Look, he's afraid of you, Tiger,” Kagaya said as she held back a laugh. It was countered by the sharp glances of Max Tiger.
“Sweet boy, I'm good, really. Come on, play together,” Persuade Max Tiger to Felicia while reaching out.
Felicia started coming out of hiding. He reached out to shake Tiger's big hand.
“Uncle, your eyesight is too sharp,” Felicia told Tiger.
“Hahahaha....,” Laughter Kagaya gushed irresistibly.
Felicia frowned confused by Kagaya's behavior.
“Kakak, why laugh?” Felicia asked curiously because the face of Max Tiger in front of her seemed to be upset with Kagaya's behavior.
“Felicia dear, our age is almost the same. But you call with a different pronoun. My name is Kagaya, you can call me ‘Kakak’. He's Tiger, just call as you want. ‘Uncle Tiger’ may be much more fitting, hahaha,” Alucard told Alice.
Felicia nodded with a smile. That made Kagaya laugh. Felicia agreed with the nickname suggested by Kagaya.
“You want me to teach you how to play sword?” Ask Felicia Kagaya.
Felicia nodded immediately. Of course he was eager to learn how to fight with the sword. He wanted to be independent and be able to fight on the battlefield with Ares.
“Perhaps a small knife would be more suitable,” Kagaya said after seeing Felicia.
Kagaya who saw the twinkle of overwhelming interest from the glare of Felicia's eyes was delighted. Tiger who was initially resentful also realized that.
“You can come here every Sunday. We will teach you martial arts to defend as well,” Tiger said to Felicia.
“OK, Kak Kagaya, Uncle Tiger,”
Felicia breezed away with Queen Ajanta to the next place. In the heart of Queen Ajanta hopes that later Felicia can be a tough and strong child.

On the right side of the palace there are still interesting places, said Queen Ajanta. That place was the high tower of the Zelinekia Kingdom. A place where an overseer watches everything that happens within the reach of the kingdom.
Seeing her from below alone made Felicia dizzy. Alice shook her head, she won't be able to climb this tower.
“Take it easy Felicia. We're not going up. It is the person above who will come down to meet us,” Queen Ajanta told Felicia.
Sure enough, just when the queen finished talking someone from the watchtower came down as if flying.
Two sword blades were tucked to the right and left of his waist. Blonde ponytailed.
Selly's. Felicia knew.
Selly pays homage to the queen. Then, greet Felicia.
“Felicia, how are you? Your body is healthy, right? If there is free time, come here. I'll take you flying over the palace,” Felicia said cheerfully.
“Thank you, Sister Selly. The queen said the watchtower was very important to this kingdom. I want to go up but high once,” Felicia said.
“Yes, tomorrow here. I'll show you why this tower is so important. I have to continue my work,” said Selly who has now shot floating in the air and re-entered the tower.
Alice looked up at the sky of Deolinikia. The dim daylight.
“Felicia, Selly is a busy person. He is very serious about his work. He is so because he feels there is a great responsibility and great benefit from his duties as a supervisor,” Queen Ajanta told Felicia.
Then what is my duty? What is my responsibility? Felicia asked in her heart. Ares who had been silent had also felt the emotional turmoil of Felicia.
