The Book Of Flowers
The Game is Getting Bigger
-- A few moments later ----
"Wah, wah, wah~"
There's a familiar face here. And he looks very uncomfortable with my friends
"It's good to see you back, captain is useless"
"Where does that name come from, you Elf-!"
Yes, continue that sentence
I'm sure my friends' death gazes will stop if you don't love yourself. Worst of all, they might beat you up
Captain of this ship, can't be wrong anymore. He was the one who brought us to Xiang yesterday
Unfortunately, I'm not happy with this guy either. He's got something suspicious surrounding his whereabouts. Maybe because he's Rosalia's man
"M-M-Talked about your departure to Orion..." He said again amidst the gazes of my friends who were still furious at him
Ahaha-h! The cold sweat made me unable to hold back the laughter
Oh, and he asked about the departure, didn't he?
"We don't need your help" I replied
The ship's captain soon forgets his fears and seems to want to protest, but is soon restrained by Ivor when he wants to get up from his seat among them all
"In short, captain..." Verdea took over. "We could get there soon using some tools from Miralius" he continued
The captain seemed to be making sense, then came up with an idea
"But, isn't it very bad if the prince arrives in Orion without a bodyguard from the kingdom? After all, rejecting someone from your own kingdom would also be very controversial right?"
Verdea did not reject the captain's sentence and instead seemed to think back
He then turned to William standing between me and Veskal and said, "Then I need you to send Edwin a letter"
William immediately agreed, leaving the captain stunned
I've guessed. He must have wanted to spy on us personally for Rosalia to know
Though Edwin was also on their side, but why did he even look riled up
"But-but! But why should it only be one prince?! Even Miss Rosalia alone needs at least 3 guards when she serves as an ambassador!" He tried to stall the conversation
Verdea only sighed before pointing at me and Veskal who waved with a mocking smile
"It's been fitting 3 with Edwin, right?" Verdea retaliated
"I don't see no problem~" I scoffed, plus shrugged both shoulders
"Totally not~?" Veskal followed
"Just tell Edwin that he should arrive in Orion no later than 1 week. I'm sure it's not a problem, is it?"
Sounds pretty fair. I agree with Verdea, so does Veskal
"We don't have any problems either. At least that way, we can rest longer in Miralius for a while" Luna said
"Don't we also have to pick up some people? I'm sure that's why Verdea allowed Edwin to take time slowly" Luxor said
"In short" Verdea replied
"And we have to move fast!" Lyralia who had suddenly appeared beside Verdea made the four of us who were standing at the door from earlier become shocked
"Can you sign your presence next time...?" Veskal protest
Even Veskal who used to hide his presence alone could be taken aback by Lyralia. So did I, who had known this strange person for a long time
"That's it. You did what we asked, didn't you?" I asked Lyralia
But instead of Lyralia, it was Remina who appeared behind him who gave the answer by fusing the tips of her thumb and index finger together to form a circle
"What... What are you planning this time?" The captain asked, fully worried
All of us in front of the room stared at him, slowly smiling in unison. Only William was silent and confused by the atmosphere of the situation
"For sure, we'll do what we did before landing on Xiang" I said, continuing to smile with a mocked face
"And you won't even be able to hold us back" Lyralia sneered
I gestured somewhat as we all went to follow me to the place where Lyralia and Remina had already prepared what we had requested
And in the other room, which had a wider size, a magic circle was clearly drawn on a clean floor. The whole thing was neatly drawn, ready to be used by all of us
"The teleportation magic circle...?" William hesitated
William nodded, before replying with, "But this is the first time I've seen him in person"
Let this be a science for you
"Quickly. Everything immediately stood on top of the circle" I said to my friends before turning to William and the captain with a smile. "We're leaving now" I said, with a stern intention
William nodded, as the captain clucked and threw away his face in response
"Then, I'll see you later, Oberon, prince, everyone" William escorted us all away
I beckoned him, before the light of the circle shone and led us to fly towards our destination, the Forest Gate
After we completely disappeared, all that was left in that place was the black mark of the circle
...
...
...
"You're so close to them, huh?" The captain of the ship commented to William
William just laughed. "I just want to save myself. At once put an end to all this endless madness"
The captain who was not satisfied with the answer also pulled out a cigar and a lighter from behind his shirt, immediately sucked and exhaled the object to relieve his stress
"So you have a way out huh...?" The captain muttered later
"Not really. I'm just betting" William retorted
He invited the captain to follow him away while continuing the conversation
"You think Rosalia's daughter would be happy if we both betrayed her?" The captain asked
"Happy or not, in the end the woman will throw us away when we are not needed
I just want to finish off whatever idealism belongs to him. Because I had a feeling that he was going to make things mess up, beyond his father"
"Well...! I think you and his majesty Artorius are best friends of a lifetime"
...
...
"Not anymore"
Short answer, but piercing
"He's lost me since he lost Marianne"
A merciless statement that would be very painful to hear by Artorius
"That guy's worse than you think. And he always put on a face like he was a victim. L'm...
Just have to destroy the man and his daughter. I must destroy the man I put the crown on his head. This is how I repent for my sins"
...
The captain of the ship finally looked satisfied, smiling lightly as he continued to follow William from behind
"Then I'll come. At least I should have one or two useful things I can do before I die"
He also extinguished the cigar using his lighter body, determined to participate in this
"This game is going to get bigger, and I refuse to miss it"
William laughed at the captain's confidence
"I hope you gave up what Prince Darius asked" William said
The captain of the ship was silent for a moment, before replying with, "Have. But I was confused as to why mister Darius and mister Collin suddenly wanted to come along as well. They were in the most dangerous position had the woman known"
William laughed lightly in response
"That's why those two princes are gonna need our help"
He then waved a letter in front of the captain. "And someone named Frank would also love to work with them"
"Well! Apparently so!"
Third parties are already in this big game. The situation will be more complicated starting from the arrival of Frank into the Lavender residence
The calculation of who will be on target, only God knows
