"Dad! Brother is not in the room!"

Wysia was flushed down the stairs to the dining room where her father and mother were waiting to have breakfast together.

"Geez, he's stubborn. He must have gone to the palace."

Abian exhaled and ordered the butler to command the chivalric chief of his residence, Daniel, to search for Gaia to the Palace. Well, at least let the two let go of each other, that's Abian's message to Daniel.

Meanwhile, Haetric managed to land in one of the halls in the Palace with Gaia in her arms, they used magic to escape from the Israelite residence until arriving within the Palace.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry."

Haetric intruded as Gaia descended as fast as the fungus from her sling, running out to look for Rahid, but while walking down the corridor she met Argio and Rasila.

Rasila swerved and ran towards Gaia and clenched her very tightly. "Is this really you?!"

Rasila cupped Gaia's face, watching her quite meticulously while at the back, Argio just kept quiet while staring at Haetric's disgust that winked one eye at her.

"I brought it," I'm Haetric proud.

"I'm so happy to see you again, Lady." Argio bowed low for a moment, ignoring Haetric's whereabouts.

"Thank you, Sir Argio."

"Then do you want to see His Majesty?" Rasila started to stay away.

"Yes. Where can I find him?"

Argio's eyes moved agitatedly as he replied, "ah, it seems like Lady has not been able to meet His Majesty."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty is not in the palace, he is out."

"Then I'll wait until he comes."

"But His Majesty may only be back tomorrow. Lady should go home first saj—"

"Are you hiding something, Sir Argio?" Gaia is suspicious.

Argio stiffened his body while shaking his head. "No! I'm only worried about Lady if she waits for Her Majesty."

"I'll wait for him. Please let me know immediately if Your Majesty has returned, Rasila."

Rasila glanced at Argio, awaiting the approval of his commander. Shortly after Argio nodded his head, Rasila also agreed to Gaia's request.

"Then I will wait in the library until His Majesty comes." Gaia then left from there, leaving the three people who were silent for a moment.

...***...

In the evening, some animals are seen returning to the nest to rest but Rahid has not left the study while looking at the orange sky decorated with birds flying in groups, making beautiful rows of calm.

"He's still waiting for me?"

Eslan nodded his head in response to Rahid's question. This morning Argio delivered a message that Gaia would meet and wait in the library while before this day arrived, Rahid had told his people to lie when Gaia was about to meet him.

"Has he eaten?" Rahid sat on the edge of the window, folding his hands in front of his chest, staring intently at Eslan.

"That's it, Your Honor. But the waiter said that the lady only enjoys pastries and tea."

Rahid exhaled while Eslan glanced somewhat fearfully. "Do you really not want to see him? I don't know what the problem is, but Lady is still not fully recovered, Your Majesty."

"Leave it. If I don't come tomorrow, he'll come back."

"So Sir Daniel came and persuaded him to go home, but the Lady refused even to turn her head and continued to refuse."

"I'll sleep here, you rest." Rahid answered after a few seconds.

Hours have passed. Rahid thought he could calm down in the workspace while forcing himself to be busy behind a pile of documents but, every time he incised ink for a signature, he said, his mind was endlessly focused on the woman who was still waiting for him in the library.

"Ah, fuck!

Rahid observes a wall clock that shows at 11 p.m. Unable to hold himself back, he immediately grabbed the robe and walked out, down the deserted hallways leading to the library. There's no guard at that door, either, so Rahid went in slowly and found a light from an oil lantern perched sweetly on a glass table between two long sofas and there was Gaia sleeping while clutching the history book pretty thick and big.

"Huh .. that's right."

Rahid immediately crouched down in front of Gaia who was lying sideways on the sofa after carefully removing the book.Gaia did not even wear the blanket the butler gave her.

"It is cold easily. If I die from the cold, I won't think twice about bringing you to life even if I have to kill myself a thousand times."

As they grumble, he put a blanket and draped some hair that covered Gaia's face then chose to sit cross-legged on the floor while looking at the woman's face in a long time and now it's one in the morning.

"It's so nice to see you. But if it's too long, I don't think I'll let you go."

Rahid stood up after leaving a brief kiss on Gaia's forehead. Then met Haetric who turned out to be standing guard in front of the library.

"Please take him home."

"What's the reason you keep avoiding it?" Haetric seemed unhappy to see Rahid's behavior.

"There are many reasons."

After answering so, Rahid then accelerated to leave the library hallway, returned to the workspace without intention to sleep while Haetric looked frustrated but still obeyed Rahid's orders, he brought Gaia back to the house of Israel before dawn.

...***...

"Ah, brother when is his return?!"

Wysia screams restrained to find Gaia already in the room when she remembers very well that Daniel failed to bring her back from the palace. Without saying much more, Wysia understood who the culprit was, it was the masked man sitting on the balcony waving his hands.

"Good morning," Haetric said hello.

While jerking her legs, Wysia approached Haetric with a waist-random and accompanied by a sour face to the point that her soft lips formed a cone, seeing that Haetric almost burst into laughter.

"Why are you taking my brother in and out?!"

Wysia grabbed the collar of the magician's clothes while asking with great emphasis. From the moment he first met, Haetric felt familiar with Gaia's sister's face and it turned out that he remembered why it could be so, it was because Wysia's face was exactly like the first saintess who killed her, and it was just like the first saintess who killed her, the owner of the original vitagya sword.

"Geez, it looks like the gods are playing me, huh?" Haetric chuckles.

Wysia did not understand what the man meant but, she hurriedly removed the check on Haetric's collar as her brother started to piqu

"Hush! Hush!" Wysia flicked her hands towards Haetric, hoping that the man would leave, whether flying or jumping, essentially Wysia would not want to see him.

"See you later." Haetric then flicked his finger and disappeared in an instant and did not forget to blink one eye seductively but it actually made Wysia disgusted.

"Why am I here?" Gaia touched her head, it was morning out there but she was not in the palace library.

"That crazy witch brought you here."

Gaia was stunned, it must be Rahid's order.

"Ah, today the execution of the agneto family! We should come by noon, brother!"

Wysia looked excited while Gaia was busy with her own thoughts.

"What about these clothes, brother?" Wysia asked while showing a luxurious dress with striking colors.

"Huh? Do you think we want to come to the party, Wysia? After all, why are you so happy when it's execution."

Wysia pouted then grumbled. "They, right, almost killed brother so many times, where maybe I was sad at this happy moment."

"Geez, not just the face, his personality is even exactly like that saintess," inner Gaia.
