The Butterfly Trap

The Part 24

" It was strange, but the commander always went to the headquarters on the border, because many monsters were trying to enter the territory of the population" said the Prophet.

" That means to the border of Dagara City? but it takes a few days to get there, right?" I asked the two friends to look at me in wonder.

" What are you guys?"

" Si, you really don't know or deliberately pretend to be stupid?" stella looked at me.

" What does that mean?" ask me with a plain face.

" Gini Si, where is Abelard's territory from the city of Dagara?"

" It's far from Abelard, what's the connection?"

" Hadeh", the Prophet breathed.

" Why have you been this way since you lived in the Grand Duke's residence? are you depressed living there? give back our former god Sicily" he added.

I paused for a moment thinking of their words, "Ah.... using the teleportation portal, but wouldn't the journey through the portal drain the power? at least if you go every day using that the risk of berserk will be great, right?".

They nodded.

" That's why I said weird, you've been there for almost three months but not once the commander asks you to purify it, how can it be?"

" Hmmm said Miss Penelope, Zurich can still be purified by some A-level purifiers or they can draw out its power and purify it using holy water".

" Well, although it can happen but he did not get the maximum purification with it and also took quite a long time while he went every day, but wait a minute....." The Prophet paused for a moment and looked at Stella.

" You know Captain Penelope Si?" ask them almost simultaneously.

" Yes, is something wrong?" many confusions.

" Who would have thought you'd be such an amazing person? not only being a Grand Duke couple but also getting to know Captain Penelope well, wow" Stella said while giggling in admiration.

" You don't know who he is?" ask the Prophet

I shook my head, I was astonished by their expressions when discussing Penelope, she sounded like a difficult figure to approach, but the Penelope I know is a smart sweet girl and she's friendly and considerate, plus she's very easy to hang out with, so the mana part of it makes her difficult to get close to.

" Penelope Wihelman, the first female intelligence captain in the Taurus faction and junior Grand Duke Dagaras to rank first in her class and fourth in the academy, the son of Duke Wihelman owned many magic stone mines that were used as city facilities and many more amazing things about him" the Prophet explained at length.

" It is reported that he also pursued the Grand Duke secretly so that he became an enemy of Castellana Helwise who is rumored to be the fiance of Grand Duke Dagaras" Stella added.

I who heard their words smiled brightly.

'Really, if my escape doesn't work out then I'll be the matchmaker of the two of them to get Zurich, so I can be free of that man and my death flag can also be avoided.

I glanced at Zeju and smiled meaningfully, hinting that I had other plans to be free from Zurich, he seemed uninterested instead of jumping away from us.

" Where's Zeju going?" my yelling.

The rabbit continued to jump without listening to my screams, I sighed and sat back down with them.

" Is it okay to let him off so?" ask Prophet.

" I told you that he is a clever rabbit, he will come back here" I replied.

" Who is Duke Wihelman and who is Castella Helwise?" manya curious.

" It's free that you're the number two person in the humingbird, cook you don't know anything Si?" Stella seems to be getting sultry with my ignorance.

" Especially because I didn't know that's why I asked, said anything?" sewot.

" Duke Wihelman is one of five dukes in the Dakota kingdom, his family is also the leader of the Cancer faction which is famous for its physical strength and the average crewmen who join there are those who are able to make their bodies as weapons, castella Helwise is the commander of the Virgo faction which is the heir to the title of Duke Helwise" the Prophet explained at length.

" If he already has such a good candidate, why would he choose me instead? are his eyes blind? or maybe she has a weird taste?"

I've long wondered why Zurich was so obsessed with keeping me by her side, was it just because I was the purifier that had the highest match with her? even before meeting me she was fine and there was nothing that worried her, but every time I asked her why, she always answered me with questions or jokes.

" Maybe he likes your stupidity!" stella replied which made us laugh out loud imagining such a ridiculous thing.

We continue our discussion of the experience of the orientation of the Prophet and Stella, although they joined at the same time but because they joined individually they were placed in different teams.

We told each other alternately, sometimes there was laughter at the stupid story of each of us, sometimes it sounded like one of them was making fun of the other, this was a scene I hadn't felt for a long time, I looked at the two friends with meaningful smiles but a few minutes later the Prophet pulled my arm and covered me with his body.

" Be careful, be careful!" his yell.

" Why is the portal here?" muttered Stella while paying attention to the circumstances around.

Just above where we were sitting appeared a dark circle, looking at the expressions of the two of them I believe the current state is very alarming.

" Stay behind Si, " cried the Prophet with a standby posture.

And sure enough, from the portal appeared a large winged monster, its shape was terrible with red eyes and a view like it was going to swallow us round and round, there were two monsters coming out of the portal.

" Gawat, it's Gargoyle, we must immediately contact the twelve zodiac factions", cried Stella then she directly attacked one of the monsters.

" Fuck, we must immediately close the portal, or else another monster will appear again" the Prophet shouted while fending off the attack from the monster.

I'm racking my brain, man, seeing them being overwhelmed by the monster made me run to the nearest security post and immediately inform them of the portal that suddenly appeared and returned to where the Prophet and Stella were.

" Fuck it.." shouted Stella who was injured by the monster attack, she tried to stand up but was again attacked by the monster's tail so she bounced away.

" Stella......!!" I chuckled as he fell, but the monster rushed towards Stella and did not allow her to stand up.

' Oh no, if left alone, Stella will be killed by him, the Prophet was also overwhelmed by the other monster, how is this'

I pulled Stella's hand away as the monster slammed its tail back toward Stella, fortunately I was able to move so fast that it just hit the trees there, the monster looked angry to see its prey dodging the attack, he furiously headed towards us and swung his tail back.

' I'm not going to be able to dodge, Stella also seems to be seriously injured'.

" Kyiaaaaaaaa" I shouted while protecting Stella with my body.
