The Bungsu Princess Inferior

33. GOLDEN-COLD

As I passed the yellow aura, I felt another powerful aura trying to enter my body. The golden leaves suddenly fell off, I took my right hand off the top of Balin's head, then raised both hands hoping to touch one of the fallen golden leaves. But strangely the leaf stopped just before it touched my palm, silently floating motionless. I looked around, the golden leaves silently floating as if time stopped, my eyes then looked back at Balin. My surprise grew as I watched him still not move like a statue. I was on my guard and focused on finding the source of the powerful aura I had felt earlier.

I thrust my feet towards the trunk of the golden banyan tree, the closer it got, the aura felt stronger. I stretched out my right hand about to touch the trunk of the golden banyan tree that was filled with sword marks.

"Well!" I reflexively covered my eyes with my hands, an extremely bright golden light bursting out from within the trunk of the golden banyan tree, radiating extremely brightly. It was so bright that I took a few steps back, activated my aura again and sharpened my gaze.

"Your Majesty!"

I lowered the hands I had used to protect my eyes. The golden light was still extremely bright, I saw it look like it was splitting the golden banyan trunk into two halves, resembling an open door. But strangely someone was standing in the middle of that door, as if coming out from inside a tree trunk. I blinked a few times, trying to adapt.

"Uncle Ezio?" call me to make sure, because of the bright light, I can't see clearly, I can only see the silhouette of his body, tall, well-built, with his shoulder-length hair loosely. Based on the voice that called out to me earlier, I assumed that the person I saw was none other than Uncle Ezio.

"Your Majesty!"

I again sharpened my gaze, somehow my aura felt like I was bursting in and refusing to let me move. The figure dashed towards me, and as he approached me, the trunk of the golden banyan tree started to fuse back together, hiding the dazzling golden light within it, returning tightly shut without a trace.

"Your Majesty, can Your Majesty make a move? can His Majesty speak?"

I stared at Uncle Ezio's weird, smiling face like a diamond! She was really weird, I thought when I met her this morning, she would act like a child because I had ignored her yesterday, but I didn't think she was smiling, wait or is it more appropriate if I say grin? I even met him in a strange way!

"I am a statue! Of course I can talk and move!" I replied a little bit.

Uncle Ezio stopped right in front of me, he smiled his right hand grabbed the tip of my head and stroked it several times. "That's not what I mean, look at Your Majesty." Uncle Ezio pointed at the golden leaf that was still quietly floating beside me.

"Like a leaf that just silently floated, Balin also experienced the same thing."

This time I turned around and found Balin who was still in his original position, still motionless and even seemed not to breathe. "Uncle, what exactly is going on?"

Uncle Ezio suddenly walked towards the golden banyan tree, sat himself on the ground and leaned his back on the sturdy trunk. Uncle Ezio's right hand patted the ground beside him, gesturing for me to immediately sit beside him. I followed and sat cross-legged beside him.

"Nothing happened, Your Majesty, this is only a temporary effect." Uncle Ezio started explaining to me, but he didn't look at me at all, he closed both eyes.

"Effects? Effect of what?" many confused.

"Time travel," replied Uncle Ezio in a resolute voice. "Only those who travel through time are not affected by this effect."

"But me?" my question hangs, I want to argue that Uncle Ezio's statement is wrong because I am not affected by the effects even though I do not travel time. But my memory tells me otherwise, I remember the passage of time when I saw my own birth, besides my encounter with Varen couldn't it be called time travel?

Uncle Ezio opened his eyes, looked at me then smiled and nodded, as if he knew everything I was thinking. "Yes, this signifies that His Majesty is also a time controller."

"Time controller?" I want more explanation.

Uncle Ezio shifted his sitting position, until he sat facing me from the side. "A time controller is someone who can stop, speed up, explore and even manipulate time."

"Of course, not all time controllers can do what I say, there are levels, where the lowest level has only one ability, and as in general, one, the higher the higher the more abilities." Uncle Ezio looked back at me, somehow I felt more and more that uncle could figure out what I was thinking.

"So, what has His Majesty done? Where is it more precisely?"

I lowered my head, and continued to lean lazily towards the trunk of the golden banyan tree. "When I was born and when I met Varen." I raised my head and looked towards Uncle Ezio. "But I don't know if it can be called time travel or not, because" I'm back hanging my words, I'm really nervous, I'm afraid all I remember is my imagination, or maybe just a dream!

"Because?" Uncle Ezio asked me to continue.

I took a deep breath, "because I was afraid it was just a delusion or a dream."

"If it's just a delusion or a dream, then there's no truth to prove, so now let's see Your Majesty," Uncle Ezio's brown eyes looked at me probing. "When His Majesty was born what did you see?"

"Everyone," I shifted my seat until now sitting cross-legged in front of Uncle Ezio. "That was the first time I saw Elder Mahira, Grandfather of the Emperor and Grandmother of the fifth Empress and Alejandro," I replied with a glare.

"Your Highness the former Emperor and His Majesty the fifth Empress, what do you see His Majesty?"

"They came using the portal shortly after I was born, and before deciding to sacrifice themselves made the protective layer of the fire dragon, they were very beautiful and it was the first time I realized that father was very similar to Grandpa and brother Prisa inherited the beauty of Grandma Empress to five, just different hair color," I try to remember again. "Until now I felt guilty for Sarala's Foster Mother because her husband Alejandro died fighting that time."

"Then what about the others?" Uncle Ezio seemed to be in a hurry to change the topic, but I did.

"When I wanted to go back I heard a voice for help, and that's where I met Varen."

Uncle Ezio looked at me again, "the servant does not know who Varen is, is there any evidence His Majesty can show?"

"Rij!"

Uncle Ezio's eyes looked slightly enlarged for a while, "Ryu?"

"Yes uncle, I treated Varen's cold poison with Ryu's tears, rather I created Ryu because I wanted to cure Varen."

"Wait for Your Majesty, then what about Vio?"

I reached out my left hand and showed the ring that was embedded in my ring finger, "the Varen family heirloom ring, Varen's mother gave it to me."

"His Majesty is engaged?" Uncle Ezio's face looked shocked, this time Uncle did not hide his facial expression well.

"Yes Uncle, directly I have received Varen and therefore Vio has been my protector ever since."

Uncle Ezio's eyes gave off a strange impression that I had never seen before, "Is Your Majesty willing to tell you all about Varen?"
