The Explorers of the Universe

Prince Sagi

Sagi is the only child of King Maxza and Queen Julia. The king, Sagi's father, died two years ago of a heart attack. The Queen herself chose to look for busyness in the castle rather than in the castle.

Currently the position of King in the New Ferrata Kingdom is vacant. Sagi does not want to be the king in his father's place. He feels too young. She's only 18.

Sagi stood on the balcony of his private room on the royal top floor. He looked at the night view on the north side of the castle. Two kilometers from the royal castle, laid sand beaches and high seas. The stars in space are scattered and twinkling. From where he stood, Sagi could also see markets, settlements, squares, training fields, schools, and forests.

At this young age, he must be ready to accept all these burdens. Dad died and mom was rarely in the castle. He also had to follow physical training, martial arts, riding and swimming schedules. Not to mention the schedule of studying various sciences to take care of the kingdom. All that work and learning is done with private teachers, without classes and schools. He is only 18 years old, but he is not like a teenager in general. He looks mature, authoritative and can behave well.

With a sturdy body, upright, contained and muscular, as well as clean skin and a beautiful face make him the Prince that many girls in the New Ferrata Kingdom dream of.

However, behind the privileges and facilities of the kingdom in his life, he still has anxiety that he cannot withstand when alone. Sagi often feels the need for people who can hear all the anxieties of his life. Everyone in the castle treated him as a person to be respected. It makes him have to be calm and not childish.

In addition, the royal secrets that had only been known to the royal family made him feel burdened. He knew that soon the Sky Force would invade the planet.

A Royal Counselor told me all the details of the attack. The analysis and the chanting of the royal spell users said that by the time the blue moon appeared, it was absorbing the power of the sky so that the power of the sky was out of balance.

At that time it is very vulnerable creatures behind the sky will penetrate the sky and make an attack on Planet Sankz. It was expected that the Sky Force and its leader used an extremely powerful spell to create such a huge hole with such a long time.

If the analysis was correct, and if the spell user's branch was also correct, then the next blue moon of the Sky Force or any creature living in the realm there, would make another attack.

“Whatever the kingdom should be on standby,” said an Advisor while speaking with Sagi regarding the security of the country and the kingdom.

“I agree. But we have to arrange a way for people not to feel terrorized. If the people know everything, they will demand the government give protection,” Sagi said.

“Betul Prince. But I think we need to engage the people to fight back if the attack comes. We must build strength with the people.”

“What if people think our stories are lies? So far the kingdom has completely closed the story and history of our country's past. The kingdom made a new story about the protective wall, which says that the wall was made by God to protect humans,” explained Sagi.

“For that I am still looking for a solution, Prince,” replied the Counselor.

“We must prepare many things immediately,” said the Prince. “Next week we hold raapat with the Royal Advisors. This meeting must be closed and confidential. We have to make a plan.”

“Siap, Prince. I'll gather all the Advisors next week.”

Two more days of meetings with the Royal Advisors will be held. Sagi was getting unsettled. He is the sole heir of this kingdom. And he must try to save this kingdom from attack.

Why did my ancestors make up a hoax about the dark history of this kingdom? Sagi stared at the sight before him.

Sagi thought of Queen Julia, his mother, who rarely came home. What was his mother doing in the castle? Sagi hopes that his mother spends a lot of time in the castle not because of the sadness of his father's departure.

Recalling her mother, Sagi recalls her mother's advice to learn about history in the library. There is a special room storing old government archives that cannot be known by the people.

Sagi gained consciousness, it was possible that all this time in the room was stored many valuable relics in addition to historical archives. “I have to get there,” muttered Sagi.

After the meeting with the Job Advisors, Sagi planned to go to the library.

The meeting was carried out with a fairly long and difficult discussion. Opinions and advice are offered by the Advisors. Of all these, the result is the following:

First: the kingdom will gather the Heirs of Spells and realize they can activate many spells. To find them, the kingdom formed a team that would go to every house and islands to meet everyone. Everyone would be recited a simple spell that would make them give off energy and vibrations in his body. For anyone who felt that energy and vibration, he would be instantly brought to the kingdom.

Second: Royal Soldiers must train more densely and exercise higher. They will be tested with various battlefields ranging from mountains, forests and the sea.

Third: The War Equipment Council had to prepare many powerful and sophisticated ramps. They will be given huge funds to create new, more sophisticated tools.

Fourth: The youth will be given additional class lessons, namely martial and military classes. All youth and high school students should follow suit.

The meeting was closed at sunset.

Shortly the door was knocked.

Sagi came out and opened it. Behind the door his mother stood and smiled.

Sagi invited him in.

“You are preparing the strength to face the attack, Son?” ask mother.

“Iya, Mom. I want to invite mom to the meeting, but it seems like mom is not wanting to be disturbed,” said Sagi.

“Yes, son, it's okay. I'm just glad you've been able to hold a meeting with the Advisors. You have to get used to leading them. You will continue leadership in this kingdom.”

Sagi and his mother sat on the edge of the bed.

“Mom deliberately spent a lot of time in the castle. She is also preparing to face the attack. You know, son, the royal family is the Heir of Mantra.”

Sagi surprised. Is that really what her mother said? Why hasn't he known it all this time?

“The royal family has been blessed with the ability to activate spells by our ancestors. I knew that before your father died. He said it directly to my mother. Although the mother is only the child of a Royal Counselor who has no blood ties with other royal families, the mother has gained the ability of the Heir of Spells when having sex with your father,” explained the mother.

“Then, I can also activate the spell, Mom? Why all this time I never tried it,” said Sagi.

“Betul, Son. At this time the mother will spend a lot of time in the castle to look for old archives in the basement. The archives on the mantra I'm gonna leave to you. You have to learn it.”

“Good, Mom. I will also go to the library to look for spell books. I take care of health in puri,” said Sagi.

“Iya, Son. You also take care of your health. Happy break.” Mother stroked Sagi's hair and left her only child's room.

The next day, Sagi walks towards the library after the students return home from school. At that hour, it makes him not have to worry about being seen by students and students.

Sagi knocked on the library door. No one answered or opened.

He repeated. There was still no sign of any guards inside. Maybe he is resting, thought Sagi.

Sagi opened it and it turned out that the door was not locked. It turns out that it's true that in the library there's nobody.

Sagi went around looking for the hidden room that his mother said. He found no other door but the entrance to the library. But he saw a bookcase that was slightly shifted back like a slightly open door.

Sagi's approaching. He can confirm that the secret room is behind the closet of this book.

Sagi pushed him with a bit of force. The closet is pushed and open.

At her desk, Ms. Surah was surprised to find the Prince opening the door. Ms. Surah immediately stood up and put on a respectful attitude.

Sagi gave his regards. But as he glanced at another corner, he saw a teenage boy sitting on a chair. On his desk was an old book he might be reading.

The teenager who was also surprised to see the presence of the Prince did not stand up put on a respectful attitude. He felt that someone had entered the secret room. And no kidding, the one who caught him was Prince Sagi.

“Who are you?” sagi asked without greeting or sorry for coming in without knocking.

The teenager stiffly stood up. He didn't know how to introduce himself. Can only say stiffly, “A-s-t-e-r-i-a.”
