The Last Whiteblood's

The Two Princes

The sound of trumpets and drumming were heard as the King's entourage entered the city of Rabadar.

The people of the city were waiting for their king to come. The entire city had been decorated as well as possible just to welcome his arrival.

Hanza waved to her society with a smile. Arion was stunned by the view of the big city, this was only the first time he visited the big city. He sat on the same horse as Thomas. This bald man stroked the head of Arion - who sat in front of him - occasionally.

"Long live His Majesty Hanza!"

"Long live His Majesty Hanza!"

Hanza's name began to be hailed when he entered the palace. There, the Queen and the royal court and her family were waiting in front of the palace. The grand palace, painted in white and gold and decorated with various ancient relics, amazed Arion even more.

Hanza stopped his horse's steps, followed by the group behind. He went down and approached them, Thomas and Arion walking behind him.

"Welcome back, Your Honor" the Prime Minister welcomed. A greying man with a wrinkled face and wearing a black uniform.

"Thank you, Hagiro" said Hanza.

On the other hand, Daendra had just reached the front of the palace. Dominick immediately pulled the boy to the side with an annoyed look on his face.

"You're late, thankfully no one's watching" Dominick said.

Daendra's eyes were fixed in one direction, Arion.

"So that's it" Daendra murmured.

Lenia - the Queen's name - stepped over to Hanza. He smiled gently, then a second later his gaze was fixed on Arion who was looking back at him.

Lenia immediately approached Hanza and whispered something in her ear. "Geez, she's so sweet"

Hanza chuckles and invites everyone into the palace, including Dominick and Daendra. Especially for Daendra, his heart ached when his father did not question him, even though they had been separated for two months.

A princess with a white robe and a small crown on her head came up to them. She is Dominick's only daughter, she is named Yaena.

"Good God, Your Majesty, I didn't know you were back, I'm sorry" Yaena lowered her head.

"Yes, it's okay" Hanza said.

Yaena's gaze moved towards Arion. His eyes immediately sparkled and a smile began to expand on his face.

"God! She's so sweet! What's name?" Yaena approached Arion and sat on her knees in front of her. Yaena stroked Arion's cheek with her index finger.

"Arion. From now on he is a part of us" Hanza replied with a smile. He was glad his family accepted Arion's presence, he thought.

Dominick shook his head slowly looking at Yaena's behavior.

"Oh yeah, how about you take this Arion around, but he has to take a shower first" said Lenia, smiling kindly.

"Can?! Oh, I mean, of course" Yaena almost jumped for joy. He holds Arion's skinny arm and takes her around the palace. Arion looked back through the shoulder, Hanza waved at him, the boy replied with his small hand.

"Because Yaena has been taken over by the little devil" whispered Daendra growled.

"What if you follow them?" ask Dominick.

"No, I want to talk to my father" Darendra replied.

***

"Well, it's clean and fragrant. You're more handsome" Yaena rubbed Arion's hair with a towel.

Arion has been dressed like a noble, his body is no longer shabby like before even he looks like a newborn baby. His skin was white and soft, his dense black hair was neatly combed to the right.

"Geez! You're so funny, I want to pinch you!" Yaena could not help but hold her anxiety on Arion.

"Hm .. It seems that you are a few years younger than Daendra. Holy hooch! I almost forgot to introduce myself ..." Yaena nodded slowly.

"From now on you call me Kak Yaena, okay?"

Arion. "understand"

With that one sentence, Yaena's heart wanted to be dislodged because it was unable to see the child's embrace.

"Come, let's go for a walk" Yaena clasped Arion's little hand. They walked in a translucent corridor leading to the garden. The palace garden is huge and beautiful with a giant fountain in the middle as well as a tulip flower garden on each side.

"It's a palace garden. You can play around here"

Instead of looking at the park, Arion sat crouched down, looking at a crickets that perched on the grass. Yaena stared confused Arion, among all the scenery in this park, Arion was even more interested in a cricket.

"The natural energy present in these crickets is very calming" Arion said.

Yaena widened her eyes, shocked to hear Arion's words.

"A-what ...? Wait a minute, what did he say? Natural energy? Arion can feel the energy of this cicada? If it means.. Arion a Sensor Knight! No. .. that ability is still too early for Arion" inner Yaena.

The cicadas jumped from there, Arion stood up again and clasped Yaena's hand, making the girl fall from her daydream.

"Arion, can you feel the energy of the cicadas?" ask Yaena.

Arion nodded. "The energy is similar to the flow of a river"

"Impossible, right? Arion ... Are you talented or cursed?" Yaena shook her own head, dispelling her negative thoughts, she took Arion around again.

***

"True, I'll take Arion as my son. I'll take care of his data at the Ministry" Hanza rose from his throne, followed by everyone in the room.

"But, Your Honor, we don't yet know where the boy came from, we don't know what impact he was given" Hagiro said, persuading Hanza to drop his intentions.

"I have made sure he does not come from outside the descendants of the Garvens" Hanza replied, reassuring.

"Your Majesty, think back" Hagiro still disagreed.

"My decision is absolute, Arion will become the second Prince after Daendra and become part of the royal family" Hanza said firmly.

"Your Majesty, why are you so sure?" ask Dominick who was just quiet.

"There's one thing you don't know. However, Arion has already been confirmed to be my son. The meeting is closed" Hanza stepped out. When he got outside, he stopped because Daendra was standing in his way with his hands folded in his chest.

"So, it's true that I want to raise him to be my son" Daendra said.

"Dad not not been able to! I forgot about you because of that kid! I don't like it, Dad!" shout Daendra.

"Whatchu mean? Arion can be your sister, you can grow up to be two tough brothers" Hanza said.

"lik! I hate him!" Daendra ran away from Hanza. Hanza breathed a long sigh while massaging her temple, she did not expect to have to come this way.

Hanza walks towards the balcony which leads directly to the park. There he could see the whole park and there happened to be Arion and Yaena. His mind starts to fog about Arion whom he believes to be the last descendant of the Whiteblood clan.

He was also in a dilemma, on the one hand, Daendra had jealousy towards Arion and the royal officials were also still doubtful to Arion, who was also in a state of contention, on the other hand, Arion is the last descendant of Whiteblood who can change the destiny of the world and find out the origin of the mysterious island.

At night, the night guards began to stand guard. The lighting in the palace was turned on by magic.

In the dining room of the palace, there was a large table in the middle of the room, it could be for 6 to 10 people. The waiters kept coming to deliver the food. Without them noticing, there was a little boy standing not far from there.

This was only the first time Arion had seen such a large amount of food.

"You're Arion, huh?"

Arion looked back, finding a fox-eared girl on the head smiling at him.

"Come?" said Arion innocently.

Faesa almost fell because Arion called him a fox. It was true that he was of the fox type but still it was disrespectful.

"Let me fix it. I'm Faesa of the Demi-Human fox race" Faesa said.

"I am Arion of the Human race"

"Yes, I can see it" Faesa replied. "You've been spending time with sister Yaena, huh? Hm .. If the young people of the city see it, they will envy you"

"Whatchu mean? Why are they jealous?" ask Arion.

Faesa pulled Arion's arm closer. "Let me tell you, Sister Yaena is a young man's dream here. It's common knowledge that Kak Yaena is among the most beautiful princesses in the twelve kingdoms of Hagavini Province"

"I didn't know it" Arion shook his head.

"Where are you, anyway? Don't know everything. How old are you, by the way? You're smaller than me" asked Faesa.

"7 years"

"Hm, you're a year young from me. Uh, have you met Daendra?"

"Not yet"

"Then, let's go to Daendra's place"

"No need, Faesa. I'm already here" Daendra stood on the stairs, staring intently at them. Faesa raised his eyebrows at the arrival of Daendra.

The prince stepped down the stairs, walking towards them. Daendra stopped in front of Arion, they looked at each other. Faesa could see a look of anger from Daendra.

"Arion, that's your name, isn't it?" ask Daendra.

"Yes"

"Currently, where are you from? What magic did you use to bash my father?"

"Wow! Waw! Waw! Relax, relax. You just met" Faesa directly mediated them.

"Arion, don't tell me you're safe and secure here. You won't get my parents' love. Don't take them from me" Daendra said.

"Oh my goodness, Daendra. Why are you talking like that?" Faesa pushes Daendra's body away from Arion.

"I didn't take away your parents' affection" replied Arion.

"Don't lie!" exciting Daendra.

The sound of clapping made the three turn to the source of the voice. Apparently, it was Yaena with a blue dress wrapped, making her even more graceful.

"Why are you guys making a fuss here?" ask Yaena.

"No Yaena" Faesa heaved a sigh of relief. "Daendra scolded Arion" he said.

Yaena turned to Daendra. "Is that true?"

Not yet Daendra answered, Faesa again raved. "He accused Arion of stealing his father from him"

"Geez" Yaena shook her head slowly, then she reached out to Daendra's ear. "Don't accuse me of anything, you're brothers now"

"Ouch! I'm not going to!" answer Daendra.

"What?!" Yaena smiled angrily and went back to picking up Daendra. "Arion is your sister, you must love her"

"I don't want to!" Daendra steps away, but he bumps into someone.

Yaena was a little surprised, Faesa immediately hid behind Yaena. Daendra looked up, saw the person he hit.

"Uncle Dominick!"

"Nobody's allowed to make a fuss at this dinner" Dominick said, cold.

"Dad" Yaena bowed respectfully and then came back straight. Both hands he hid behind his body.

"Yaena, congratulations. Now you're a big brother again" Dominick said, but there was no happy tone.

"I'm glad Arion is my sister" Yaena replied.

"Oh so, all right. Your responsibilities are getting bigger" Dominick smiled faintly at Arion, then stepped away from there. Daendra followed him while staring cynically at Arion.

Yaena turned her body, looking at Arion who was behind her. He smiled broadly and pinched both of Arion's cheeks.

"You're getting cute! I'm getting more anxious" he said. "Just calm down, I'll be right next to you. You don't have to be afraid of my father, he's terrible, but he won't hurt you"

"Yes?" Yaena smiled gently as she stroked Arion's head.

"Yes" replied Arion with a smile.
