The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 170's

“Let's go back to the palace first,” take Sean to Jessica.

Jessica nodded. Following Sean, heading to the palace. Walking behind Sean, Jessica grinned.

“Sean hugged me?” mumbling slowly. Believe not believe, but that's the truth. “I don't dream. It's reality.”

Jessica felt the warmth from Sean, also being able to touch her milk-white skin. Stout body, Jessica felt she could not forget the attitude of Sean earlier.

Without realizing it, Jessica's joyous behavior was noticed by Edward. Edward sneered at Jessica. Until Edward dared to seduce the boy.

“Do you like it?” elbow Edward teases.

“You ...”

“Be sure, if you like it!” edward said again, followed by a meaningful smile. A wicked smile, a cunning man.

“Since when have you been behind me?” jessica asked.

“Since. When you're excited when Sean treats you a little romantically.”

“Since yesterday?”

Edward nodded. “You were too happy when Sean hugged you. To the extent that you forget that there is still me behind you!”

Jessica was silent when she heard Edward's confession. As for the boy, he continued his steps following Sean from behind.

Jessica gaped. “That means, he (Edward) knows that I was thinking about Sean,”.

Fate for Jessica, all her secrets have been known by Edward. Jessica was getting embarrassed, she could not hide her admiration for Sean. Everybody knows that. Including ....

“Don't forget, I—also heard it!”

Driyad nudged Jessica's shoulder. The girl fell silent again because she thought about what she had done. Now, Driyad makes fun of her, making Jessica even more hysterical.

“You also know that?”

Driyad. “Don't forget Amuria and Crypto. They also know that you admire the prince!” point Driyad at the two men. They were standing behind Jessica.

Jessica turned her head, Amuria smiled at him. And Crypto? Obviously he's not interested in this kind of business.

“Everyone knows. Since when? Did they realize it from the beginning I came here?”

“You must be surprised,” shrewd Amuria seduces.

Crypto hit Amuria on the head, a sign that she should not flirt carelessly with girls. Crypto first followed Sean's steps, while Amuria, she still chuckles at seeing Jessica. Also withstood the pain in the head over the blow from Crypto earlier.

Amuria runs parallel to Crypto. Then he said slowly to the man. “You are always indifferent to the affairs around you. Are you really not interested in flirting with the girl.”

“Cih, even I don't do it!” reply Crypto ketus.

“Yes. I admit, you always have been!”

Amuria probably gave up saying at length with the man. Everyone knows, the coldest Crypto.

Sean handed the red gem he got, to Lord Shutanhamun. The man smiled faintly behind his thick mustache.

Not to forget, he's sorting his beard mane. Standing all over his servants, the old man accepted Sean's gift.

Jessica, she is getting excited as Sean stands near the great throne of Lord Shutanhamun.

“Hei. Look prince. He was so handsome when wearing the oversized clothes of Lausius,” Yudhar whispered to Jessica.

The boy stood next to him. As for Edward, the boy was on Jessica's left side. Crypto and the others were in front of the girl.

“You tried to tease me?” scorn Jessica.

Yudhar. “No,” said denied. “I just said, the prince is so handsome. Really am! Ajubtak means to tease you!”

“But you tried to do it, didn't you?”

“For the name of the god Opis. I'd be willing to be taken out of the palace, if I dare to!” yudhar reply evaded.

“Listen to what the great Lord will say. Slow down your voices!” Edward interrupted, warning the two.

Instantly, both of them fell silent. Except, say at least one to two words.

“OK, alright!” jessica gave up. Stop saying, Jessica did it not because of Edward's orders, but because she was lazy to discuss something related to her secret.

Yudhar chuckled amusedly, then she came to focus on Lord Shutanhamun who was talking.

“Tonight, we will all celebrate the welcome of the arrival of prince Lausius. Command all the inhabitants of the city, to prepare a procession as a form of success. Tonight is the night for prince Lausius, in completing his mission!”

Sean gave a friendly smile to all the Metis cloud higher-ups. They saw his conversion as Lausius. The hard-earned title he got.

The people cheered, glorifying the name of Lausius. Sean knows, this may be the beginning of his success in completing the mission. However, there were still other obstacles that Sean had to solve.

“Ablessed the sky, Prince Lausius. Blessed with heaven, Prince Lausius!”

That voice catapulted the title Sean had. Sean did not deny, that he was now different from before.

††††

Fireworks burst in the air. A sign that the residents are rejoicing in Sean's success.

“You see. The people are glorifying your name. You are now welcomed as a hero, prince!”

Sean* smiled, as Jessica nudged his shoulder.

“Why do you call me prince?” ask Sean.

“I want to do it!” reply Jessica. “You are now a prince. So, I should call you by that designation now.”

“Do you like me now?” ask Sean again.

Spontaneously, Jessica nodded. “I like you very much in every way.”

Sean raised his eyes, looking into Jessica's round eyes. When he got attention from Sean, suddenly Jessica immediately realized—if actually he had admitted to Sean that he liked the child. Soon, Jessica said.

“Ehm. I mean, you ..., I admire you because you're special now,” she said a little nervously.

“Is that what you want to say?”

Jessica nodded. “Really, you have so amazed people. You are now a handsome prince. Not wrong, if I say you're special.”

Sean's milk-white hand, wanting to hold Jessica's hand. But stop, Sean did not dare to do it.

Sean turned, staring at the sky decorated by colorful fireworks.

Jessica glanced at Sean's nose. It was a bit awkward, but Jessica liked this moment. With Sean, he was very happy.

“Prince. The great lord called you, in order to meet him in the palace manuscript room.”

Sean turned his head, the voice coming from a soldier who came to see him. He bowed his body, after delivering the order from Lord Shutanhamun.

“I'll be there soon,” reply Sean short.

Sean wants to move, Jessica pulls Sean's arm. “You want to leave me alone.”

“Do not worry. After this, we can return to the place of origin where we are.”

“But, Sean ...”

Sean stroked Jessica's hand gently. Even though Sean saw the girl was haggard, Sean was still going to leave her. End the conversation that night.

“You're back in your room. Don't stay outside too long, you'll be sick. I have to go now" Sean said, reminding Jessica.

Sean ....

Staring at Sean's back, the girl's eyes were already dimmed. Sean had already entered the palace, but Jessica was still fixated.

Sean is going to get a mission back. If so, please—do keep Sean back in good shape. I can only hope for the sky higher-ups right now.

That face is too angry. Worrying about Sean.

††††

“Did you call me, Grandpa?” ask Sean.

The old man turned his back on Sean. When Sean arrived, he turned around. He had been waiting for the child to arrive in the ancient manuscript room.

He was trying to show Sean something.

“The jewel you got. You must see the privilege!” he said to Sean.

The red gemstone was floating, giving off power. The old man placed the gemstone on a special table. Sean didn't know what table it was, which was obviously a very special place.

“Is the power inside this gemstone so powerful?” sean asked to know.

The old man nodded. “There is no great power on that gemstone.”

“No power?” sean repeated. “Does Grandpa mean ...”

“Hem .., the gemstone is just a hope. Inside it contains a constellation prophecy. I don't really understand it either, but it helps a little in determining the prophecy of heaven.”

“Jadi ...”

The old man smiled, massaging the mane of his beard. Then turning his back on Sean, he might reminisce about something.

“Taking this gem, just one of the exams you have to take. There is nothing so special to investigate further. Just a gemstone, which is said to be a stone of luck and hope. You don't get too obsessed with him,” the old man explained.

Sean remained silent. Damn, it was hard for him to take the gemstone. But what secret did he get? Just a plain stone, believed to be a stone of hope and divination. Nothing special? Obviously Sean wanted to curse the gemstone.

“I understand now. This rock, he's playing me!”

The old man smiled. “I did not take any wisdom from this story.”
