The Journey of Eternity

Trace 34 - Our.

Arlo returns to the castle with Eri through the woods and arrives at the bustling city. From a distance a person leaned shut his matan and suddenly smiled for a moment before opening his eyes. He turned his head to the side with the two people who were already standing in front of him putting on a question expression.

“Master, welcome back. Let me drop off together, Miss too.” with an inexorable smile, Khira bowed respectfully to the two people.

“Who rules you?”

“Of course Queen. Come on, they've all been waiting in the dining room as usual for breakfast. But maybe you have breakfast.?”

"Well, whatever" Arlo walked first with Eri's hand beside him.

The three of them walked back to the castle together and headed straight for the dining room to talk more about this trip and get it sorted out immediately. Arriving at Arlo's door surprised by the crowd, the King and Queen sat in his usual place, a girl with bright green eyes sitting beside his sister and looking at him with a smile. Ferdi and Sina suddenly ran facing in front of him and bowed respectfully conveying something.

“Mr Arlo!” both of them faced the man.

“Ya.?”

“We are both very honored to be allowed to fight with you on this journey even though our lives are at stake. In addition we earnestly request guidance.” Ferdi said really.

“Good, may you guys be safe and come back with me after you finish”

“Ya!”

"(Gosh, can you two not be too stiff by answering 'Yes

constantly.)" Arlo's inner sighed.

Dinner continued with all the guests present, the King and Queen, Ferdi and Sina, Khira, and bela sitting together with Razil. Arlo looked at the girl full of suspicion even though he replied with a smile and continued eating until it was done. In Arlo's mind filled with the sentence asked, Why did Khira and this girl come here. In addition, this girl always smiles when she looks at him, making her afraid.

“Good first, we will carry out the ritual and then come back here. Only me and Dad can join for this ritual and please remain seated here”

“Good!”

Arlo and Eri are taken away by the Queen and the King to a place along with a hooded stranger who follows behind. Others waited and ate in the room and talked about Mr. Arlo in the back.

“It looks like Mr. Arlo is suspicious of you” Ferdi said staring at Bela who was eating.

“Good, General can't explain it. hmm?” the girl looked at the source of the voice with a serious look.

“Hah..well, we wait for them to come back and Mr. Arlo asks.” Khira sighed hearing that sentence.

Arlo along with the five men who were with him led to a foreign place that was some distance away with the location of the caste and until the same cabin with the cottage that took him to battle was not obviously yesterday. They went inside and only the two of them were allowed to enter without exception, while the King and Queen waited outside.

Inside were already three other hooded people who had been waiting patiently. Then they lined up and stood around Arlo and Eri in the middle with a small table in the middle and a glass on top of it filled with water. The four people surrounding him recited the mantra in the book they were holding and over time the water turned blood red.

One of them approached the table and picked up the glass on the table, told Arlo to drink some of it and then asked him to drip blood on the glass. Surprisingly, Arlo's wounds recovered unless blood dripped on the water without returning to his body, turning the water dark green.

The glass was extended to Eri who stood beside Arlo to drink until it ran out. The girl gave him a drink until it was completely exhausted and immediately after, Eri's body shone along with the dazzling color of her eyes yellow.

“Good Sir and Miss, the ritual is complete. The problem of wounds in your body will be used forever even though it has actually recovered. Sorry for all our indecision and mandatory orders. May you both live happily” said the hooded man standing in front of the two of them.

“We also thank him for his help.” reply Arlo then he turned around, leaving a thin smile on the lips of the hooded man.

They returned to the caste together and continued this endless conversation until it was completely finished. According to Ferdi, Arlo was right to ask the whereabouts of the girl sitting with Razil and Arlo was always insistent as usual.

“Master..he himself asked with strange reasons. We are begging to give him a chance Tuan”, Khira said.

“Hah..well young girl. Now what do you expect from this trip?” Arlo stared intently at his interlocutor, saying the answer was interesting.

“I hope someone will save me from my stupidity Tuan”

“Stupid..” muttered Arlo.

"Some.. Khira, I guess I didn't take you?" arlo stared at the cynical man beside him, making Khira tremble.

“Already, I have explained everything needed to all of them. Now all you need to wait for is an order from you and the taking of power” cut Queen.

Arlo got up from his seat and stared intently at everyone around him, a forced smile starting a long sentence.

“Ohh. well, Ferdian Laureends, Bela Lesina and Shina Trisia. On behalf of the Prince, I revoke your duties and authority as a knight or a Group troop and Guild membership. With this your new duty is as a travel bodyguard in a great task, Protect an esteemed lady Miss Erre Flassa.

Then, Khira Daniel. The great name of a Commander, I will revoke. You will be my loyal bodyguard, Arelo Voltar and during the journey only my and Miss' orders are only accepted and obeyed whatever the risk.” Arlo Kambali sits folding his hands with his cheeks slightly red.

“Good!”

“Hey, is that not excessive? Like not just Arlo, hihi.” whispered Eri mepet in Arlo's ear.

“You are right, Arlo is indeed not someone like this.”

The Queen's smile turned to the King hoping that he would speak up. The king nodded in understanding at that gaze and stood up from his seat speaking up, looking at the person sitting next to Eri.

“Prince Arlo, this journey is your last duty as a prince. What will you do after this trip is successfully carried out?”

“I heard there were only two options, leading the entire region and living with the enjoyment that was there or flying freely breaking all ties. The first choice was good and very obligatory, but I will fly free and leave this duty to my little brother on the authority of King Ordilo”

“So? are you sure of your answer?”

“Of course.”

“Alright, the trip will be carried out when human territory before morning. It can be said that your army will fly later tonight and when it arrives, you will gather in front of the castle in my command.”.

“Good!”

“Good.”
