The Journey of Eternity
Trace 36 - Free.
The entire army and the King's staff lined up neatly in front of the castle gates welcoming the arrival of the honorable princes who would follow the royal sayambara and marry the princess. The king looked so happy sitting in his chair next to his daughter who was wearing a white dress and looked very graceful.
Two handsome princes stepped on the red carpet followed by their loyal guards and welcomed by all citizens of the kingdom. One of them was a long blonde-haired prince with a sword on his waist and walking on the right side, a sweet smile with his white teeth attracting every woman he passed by.
On his left side was a man with straight black hair covering his left eye and a sword at his waist, a dull gaze that was almost the same as Arlo etched on each of his faces.
“Hey, smile at the civilians and respect the women. Aren't you taught like that?” The blond man whispered to the man next to him and again waved at the people around him.
“Hemp.” The man threw away his face and just kept walking.
Until they were before the First King, bowed down and gave the same salute. The two of them raised their faces and glanced at the jutek woman who was sitting down to throw her face away.
“Welcome princes, welcome to the land of my dreams. Kingdom of Markcs, on Phalasick Island!!” The King's greeting followed the cheers of the citizens who were present there.
“Good. My beautiful daughter, let me introduce these two handsome princes who are before you. On the right side is the prince Liberth Michel Endinburg, from the western kingdom ‘Endinburg.” Meet the King staring proudly.
“Prince Michel, Princess.” The man looked respectfully.
“And the one on the left side. of the southeastern kingdom’ Kingdom Lesterndny, Prince Alberth Hendric Lasterndny." Raja.
“Hendric, Miss ...” Down.
“And my beautiful daughter-“
“No need King, everyone must know the name of the Beautiful Princess there, right?” Cut Michel stared at the woman sitting on it.
“I don't know,” replied relaxed Hendric.
“Basic is not polite!”
“Yah-yah. Meet my daughter, Bella Alica Marck. And I'm Vianden Burnburg Marck”
The cheers of the visitors ushered the two princes into the castle and vanished behind the door. All the guests were directed to the other side of a very large room, inside which was already a very long table provided for the banquet of the princes who came with his guards. The beautiful servants stood up to warmly welcome their arrival.
The same thing happened, Michel proudly teased the servants and made Hendric uncomfortable. He glanced at her and stepped first to immediately sit at the dining table together with his followers.
“Hei-hey, you're so greedy," whispered Michel, who was sitting next to Hendric.
“Hmm..” does not care.
Everyone had sat together at one table with the King sitting at one end. With a smile, he stood up to open the banquet and let everyone eat together.
“Hei Tora, are only two princes coming? Or is the other still not there?” Whisper the king to the man standing next to him.
“Sorry King, it really is. Only two princes replied to our message. So only two princes came,”
“Aw. Plus, they have a completely opposite attitude."
Someone slowly entered the room and attracted the attention of everyone who was there. The charming princess, slowly approached the king sitting at the end of the table and whispered something.
“What! You must be lying!” Shouted the King suddenly.
“Serah, but in the city is currently in a fog. I'll go first," the girl walked out while tearing up her beautiful dress skirt to be even simpler and ran along with a few people behind her.
“Bella! All in all, reports out of nowhere suggest that the city is being attacked by demons. So I beg you to help the princes and their followers to help. I beg.”
“It is not true that a King begs. We'll be brave enough to protect the princess." Michel said, along with the rest of his crew.
...(----------------)...
Eri shouted out loud and suddenly something slashed at the creature that attacked him, cutting him in half. A demon with blood splattered everywhere was lying and neatly cut in front of the breathless Eri. The two girls nearby did not move, staring at Eri who was holding a powerful sword in her hand.
“No-Miss, is it really yours?” Sentences were broken out of Bela's lips.
There were again footsteps moving in groups approaching them from a distance. The three of them immediately went on alert and mounted the horses with each of their weapons. When his voice was close, it was Arlo who ran with two people behind him and he immediately hit Eri in front of him.
“Nona! Are you okay!” Replace Arlo crashing at the girl and sitting right in front of her.
“Ohh.. ma-sorry, I'll step back a little.” Arlo stood up and cut down his clothes in front of Eri.
Slowly Eri also woke up and unintentionally stared at everyone around him. Their faces still looked stiff, shocked by what they saw.
“Ka-you guys don't stare like that!” Shouted Eri at all who were there.
“Eh.." Arlo turned to everyone who was still staring.
“Ma-sorry Miss, it's just ... The sword you used it..” replied hesitantly Khira.
“Medium? Ohhh! that sword, ahaha.. you know Golden Light yes.?”
“Haa!” Everyone was surprised by what Arlo said.
Arlo just fidgets while scratching his head that is not itchy. The two girls who were near Eri immediately approached and shook Eri's body begging to be shown again. The sword is the same sword that Arlo uses to slash all enemies that confront him for the fruit of Eternity.
“Quick Miss, eject!” Rengek Bela was still shaking Eri's body.
“Ahh, yes-yes," Slowly something came out of Eri's palm.
The sword floated itself in front of them, out of its sheath and stuck it in the ground. Everyone approached and looked at him closely except for the timid looking Khira.
From them, it was very clear that they heard a very loud shout from a point far south of this forest that was most likely a city in this kingdom, even though all that was only a guess.
“You all heard! It seems they have started moving. We also move to protect him!”
“Ya!”
The six people immediately cupped their cloak hoods running towards the source of the sound. Oh yes, forgetfulness. Earlier they all got here wearing the same cloak side by side with the one Arlo always wears with the aim of masking their identity. The robe is only as tall as a thigh with a hood and is black with a barrel on the edge.
And among them all, though, no one is seen carrying a weapon because the weapon is stored in the body and will come out only when called like Arlo's sickle that suddenly appears in his hand when going to fight.
“Task sharing again! The khira! You're evacuating the people around you to a safe place. The four of you check every town and make sure it's completely safe. Don't be missed, can be understood?!”
“Ya!”
Khira sped towards the southeast and towards the left side of the city, Arlo was fighting on the south side of the city. The rest went west.
“Currently like this, where are the royal knights?” arlo muttered.
While Khira is on her way, one family is being cornered by the roadside. Two young children sit limply watching their parents in a tripe depleted by a herd of demons that are right in front of them.
“Run! Find a safe place. I'll hold it, Quick!” The hooded figure with a gray barrel on his robe shot out, slashing at the demon that was in front of them.
The two children run off the ridge and Khira died fighting someone against the herd of demons. Some are disgusting, but some also look similar to humans. After the sense of completion, he immediately left that point and shot towards the north. There was clearly a big fight going on, the Princess with the Princes leading the knights to fight in front of the royal castle not far from her.
“They just protect here? Do they not maintain the condition of their citizens?" Murmured Khira continued her journey about to the other side.
“Awas! Princesses!” A very loud shout sounded in Khira's ear and he immediately turned his head. A large, dark ball floated right towards the princess without her noticing.
Without a second thought, Khira immediately darted in front of the princess and held her back all of a sudden. With his sword, he tried to hold back with all his might for a moment. The ball exploded and pressed the two people in front of it until it shot quite far away.
“Princess!!"
The wound that hit the princess was obviously not severe, but for Khira. She lay unconscious in front of the Princess, Some of her robes were torn off and the hood that covered her head had also disappeared revealing the face of a man with a small horn on his forehead. The newly realized princess immediately approached the man and ascertained who was helping him.
Looking at the dark-coloured horn on the man's forehead, his mind had gone everywhere considering that the horn belonged to the devil, in the end he tore off some of his clothes to wrap around Khira's forehead and covered the bulge on his forehead, I don't know what that girl did. The two princes who had just been screaming indistinctly, ran over to the princess and immediately checked her condition.
“You two are blind! Hurry up and help this man! The one that saved my life! Fast!”
“Ba-good Putri” The man was taken by Hendric and went straight into the castle.
Darting north towards the castle with the princess behind her. Anxious feelings mixed with fear painted on his face and made him think bad things would happen next.
