The Last Whiteblood's

Visitation

"Because Arion? Whatchu mean?" ask Kenneth.

"We'd better talk about this somewhere else" Aciel suggested. Arion agreed, they came out of the house and stepped into a place where no one was there but them. There is the small house of Aciel that still survives today.

The house of Aciel is on the edge of a quiet rice field will be soldiers to pass by. It was also where Aciel's childhood was before going to the academy. Both of Aciel's parents died of illness right after Aciel's return.

At that moment, Aciel was very grateful to be able to see his parents for the last time. This little house he would not sell and would be like this until he was old.

"Please think of it as your own home" said Aciel, allowing both guests to sit down.

"This house is bigger than Grandpa's hut" Kenneth said.

"Let's explain this weirdness since I left" said Arion, he wanted to know immediately what he had missed so far.

"It was that day, when your true identity was revealed by the royal council..."

Aciel tells the story since the incident when Hanza who leaked Arion's secrets to the council who kept pressing him.

The five councils, who knew who Arion really was, began to hold a meeting.

"Hanza has made a very, very fatal mistake!" Theo hit the table hard. He's very upset at the moment.

"Hiding a Whiteblood is tantamount to decades of corruption!" Gio added.

"He should have negotiated with us first when he brought the boy here" Theo continued.

"This is valuable information. We just realized there was a Whiteblood who lived in the palace all this time. We should match this info a long time ago" Retfa said calmly.

"What should we do now? The whiteblood has disappeared" asked Redmund.

"You'll find Whiteblood anyway. Hanza's problem will be solved right now" Robio said.

"You want to take him down from the King's position?" ask Theo.

"That we can't do but Hanza will still step down from the throne, he has broken some rules and can already be put down" Robio replied.

From there, Hanza's position will be replaced. It took the council days to negotiate. At that moment, Daendra came to see Hanza.

Daendra opened the door of Hanza's room with a very serious look.

"Dad, try to explain all this" Daendra said.

Hanza took a long breath. "You've come back and heard everything that's happened, huh?"

"I want to hear it straight from Dad's mouth" Daendra said.

"Arion is a boy that I saved a few years ago in Anvio Village..." Hanza recounts the whole incident when he found Arion in the village.

"Dad realized he was Whiteblood when his mother died in front of his father and himself. Yeah, Arion is Whiteblood, that's one of the reasons I brought him here and made him an adopted son"

Daendra grunted softly. "Dad hid the facts all this time? Are you aware of letting Arion who is the last Whiteblood roam around without any definite security?! He's gone and Dad's gonna be punished!" Daendra's tone is rising. Right at the same time, dozens of soldiers broke into the room. They drew their swords forward.

"What the fuck are you guys?!" Daendra pulled the sword from its sheath.

"Surge"

Two middle-aged men also entered the room that was given a path by the soldiers. They are Redmund and Robio.

"Let your sword down, Prince. It's your father's problem" Redmund said.

"I have the right to interfere in his affairs" Daendra was undaunted, he remained on alert.

"Your father has made a terrible mistake. He deserves to be punished and..." Robio pulled out a scroll. "And he will be removed from his position as King and you will not be Crown Prince anymore" Robio showed the contents of the scroll containing the shifting position of Hanza and the main family of the palace.

Daendra was surprised. He widened his eyes when he saw the letter.

"We designate Dominick Gareins as the 15th King of Rabadar Kingdom" Redmund said.

Daendra turned to look back at Hanza's reaction. The man simply calmed down and got up from his chair, he stepped beside his son.

"I gave up that position" Hanza said.

"Dad.." Daendra could not believe what he was hearing.

"Do it legally and punish me according to the laws that apply there" Hanza said fearlessly, admitting his guilt and accepting the consequences.

After Hanza's capture, Dominick was made King two days later. He stood up proudly, how not? This position he had long craved and without even planning, he finally got it.

"What about Hanza?" ask Theo.

"His father is with his family" Dominick replied.

One by one the members of the Hanza family were forced out. In total there are 9 members of the Hanza family including Rena and her two younger siblings. All of them in the field, Dominick looked at them as if they were garbage to be thrown away. Daendra stared intently at his uncle.

"Take them out" Dominick ordered.

They were led out. Their clothes were no longer like nobles, but rather like beggars. The whole community watched their departure.

"Mayec.." Yaena called Daendra.

"We will return and I will reclaim this palace" Daendra said with determination.

"I'm sorry. I don't want you to go after Arion and Faesa" Yaena shed her tears, not willing to go with Daendra's departure.

"Sister" Rena called Yaena. "Daendra and I will never hate Brother, and I'm sure Arion will definitely return"

Yaena was silent for a moment while wiping her tears. "Rena, take care of yourself, yeah"

"Yes" Rena nodded with a smile.

They all left that day and never returned. The only news ever heard from them, when Daendra reappears when a horde of Undead invade the city, he saves the city and is nicknamed the Golden Eagle and enters into the 10 great Knights.

Rena, the descendant of the dragon is never heard from again. There are rumors that the Dark Lord does not want him anymore and moves to Arion Whiteblood.

"so. A lot of things happened when you disappeared" Aciel said.

Arion clenched his hands tightly. Kenneth saw. "It's not your fault" Kenneth said.

"I have to go inside the palace and look for Sister Yaena" Arion said.

"Eh? What's for?" Aciel was confused.

"I'm sure Yaena's sister is still on Hanza's side and she will definitely help me" Arion replied.

"What's your help?" Kenneth asked.

"Finding the whereabouts of Daendra"

"But-"

"So Yaena must have communicated with Daendra through anything. That is their custom when separated, Daendra likes to be annoyed with the many letters that appear in his residence when away from the palace" explained Arion cut off Aciel's speech.

Aciel fell silent before agreeing with Arion. "I can take you there"

"How is it?" ask Kenneth.

"By passing through the secret passage. But, the success or failure of this infiltration depends on you"

"Alright" Arion nodded.

"We're leaving tonight, where the whole guard is focused upwards. We're gonna go down the basement, go under the kitchen and go to jail. You can disguise yourself as soldiers all the way to Kak Yaena's room" explained Aciel.

"That's it?" Kenneth felt his plan was very simple.

"Yes, this should be easy but you need to be careful. I will continue to monitor from the outside and take care of you" said Aciel.

"I'm counting on you, Aciel" Arion held onto Aciel's shoulder.

Aciel smiled faintly. "If you don't disappear, you're gonna get inside the 10 great Knights"

Arion. "Snakes and positions are not very important to me. Besides, I already have a nickname"

"The Last Whiteblood seems like it's cool" Aciel said.

"I told you" Arion chuckled.

***

Yaena sat on the chair while looking at the full moon in the night sky. A cool breeze entered the room, without him noticing that anyone had entered the room.

"No Yaena"

Call someone from behind him. Yaena immediately looked back and got up slowly.

"Who's there?!" ask Yaena, beware.

"Calm down, it's me" the man appeared from the dark side of his room. He took off the mask. "I'm Arion"

"Arion?" Yaena lowered her waste. He sharpened his vision to see the figure before him.

"I'm here to ask for your help" Arion said.

"Arion's? You're that?" Yaeena stepped closer. "Arion, are you a real Arion?" Yaena could not stem her tears, her longing for Arion was huge and now they meet again.

"Oh, Arion, thank goodness you're alive and well" Yaena held Arion's shoulder on par with her head.

"You also look healthy Brother and..." Arion glanced at the large belly of Yaena. "Gosh.. Are you pregnant?"

Yaena smile. "Yes, I was pregnant with my first child. It's your nephew"

"Oh my goodness.." Arion covered his mouth with his right hand. She was surprised and happy to see Yaena pregnant, this is good news.

"I'm glad you came here after the news of your disappearance and Faesa. How's Faesa doing now?"

Arion's face changed drastically. "He's not with me anymore"

"Why?"

"He decided to get inside Ethinos and leave me"

Yaena held her breath in surprise at the bad news. "Why do all bad things happen all of a sudden?" Yaena sat on her bed.

"As you can see, Arion, this palace has changed. Uncle Hanza is no longer in charge, this palace is not as bright as it used to be" Yaena said, in despair.

Arion sat on his knees before Yaena. "I'll bring back the brightness to this palace and I won't let my nephew live in a bleak time" Arion said.

Arion held onto Yaena's hands. "But I need your help. I want to know the location of Daendra, without him I can't bring the light of happiness back to this palace"

Yena smiled gently. "You are a determined child"

"That's all because of Big Brother" Arion smiled widely.

Yaena then tells Arion the location of Daendra. He is in a remote village located in the territory of a kingdom called Athiesh Kingdom. It is located far away from Rabadar Empire.

"Well, thanks for the info, sister"

Then, there was Kenneth's voice coming in through the magic communication mirror. "You better hurry up, some soldiers are getting closer"

"Arion, hurry up, you're running out of time" and so is Aciel.

"Then I'll go again" Arion got up. Suddenly, Yaena pulled him and hugged him tightly.

"Bring Daendra here" whispered Yaena.

"I'll do it" replied Arion.
