The Reincarnated Ruler
Eps. 52
READ, LIKE AND COMMENT✨✨✨
I woke up because I didn't sleep at all. Lovan woke up first. Probably because I smell the food from the fruit I open. He was very surprised that I had prepared the food.
“ Did you cook this?”
“ Pfft! I cooked all this! Hows it? Already think of me as a great chef no?”
“ Yes! You're the greatest chef I've ever met! *gaze all foods*”
“ Haeh... Are you really a Prince? Your attitude is not like a Prince. *picking fruit and then opening and putting it in the hands of Lovan*”.
I was somewhat surprised by Lovan's reaction which was instantly silent. Actually I don't want to disturb his private space. I don't know what he'll say later. But how else?
I AM A CHILD WHOSE SOUL IS HUGE!!!
“ E.... Lovan? What was? Why are you just silent? Better eat the food before Willy wakes up. Otherwise you won't be part.”.
“ Raisa? Do you know you want anything? *subject and stare at food*”
“ Hah? What is it?”
“ Actually I am the Prince of a concubine. Dad doesn't want me to wear his surname. Be me using my mother's clan. Not granted the right to enjoy the palace. Can only guard the entrance of the Forest. Sorry I just told you”
“ Hmm... It turns out so... You won't be weak because of this, right? *putting food and approaching to Lovan*”
“ Hah... Ka... What do you want? *closing your eyes as you see Raisa's face approaching*”
“*Taking cobwebs in the ears of the Lovan Fox*”
“ Hah... You?”
“ What are you thinking, huh? Basic perverted brain! *took more food and then continued to eat*”
‘Argghhh!’
“ Hey! Willy! What are you yelling about, huh? There is something in your dreams that you are afraid of, right? You coward! *enjoying food*”
“ Haaa! You guys get caught eating food without taking me!”
“ There's still left for you. Just relax..”
Willy and I continued on the journey as the Sun began to show itself. I am not in an oak tree at the moment. So I could see the sky as wide as I could see, even though most of what I saw were branches of trees blocking the light.
Lovan didn't come with us because she still had the duty to guard the entrance of this Forest. We went deeper into the forest. Sometimes we hear voices around us.
“ Willy? Is the true path given by Lovan?”
“ Yes.. I guess..”.
‘ Gah..
“ Willy? Do you think that's the sound of an ordinary crow? Are you sure this road we're going through is right? I did you wrongly listen to what Lovan said earlier?”
“ I'm right, really! She said we should skip this area *pointing the restricted area on the map*”
“ Haaa? Are you well? Obviously he said ‘avoid this area!’ Didn't you listen to him? *massage forehead part*”
Flashbak
“ See you later.. You two be careful ya”
“ Are you not coming with us?”
“ No. I have to guard the Forest entrance. Oh yea! Willy. 'cause you're holding the map. I'll warn you to skip this area *pointing one of the images on the map. Willy did not notice. And I can't hear clearly what they're talking about*”
Flashback off
We are lost now. Even though we followed the map, we couldn't find a way out. Everything looks the same. The road we walked did not change. Like a huge labyrinth.
Like we're just going around in circles in this area. Several times I heard a roar that made my hair goosebump. Willy is still leading the way. Either the road we're on is right or wrong.
‘Gwoar... Gah..
“ Willy... His eyes begin to sink. We didn't prepare anything. Our food supplies are running out. And we don't have any more food supplies. The seed is the last seed.”
“ Huft... Right too.. Forgive me this fool, Raisa... I'm too stupid to lead... Forgive me... *fall on the ground then cover my face*”.
“ Willy? Are you crying?”
“ No I do not cry.. Hiks... Hiks.
“(Ah... Dad...)”
I looked up. There's a gap above. The light of the moon can clearly be seen from down here. The walls of this labyrinth are high. But there is no roof in the way.
Uhh! Aye! I have an idea!
“ Willy? Can you climb this tree wall?”
“ Well... I think I can..”.
“ Then take me to top”
“ Alright. Eh? Waitaminute! What?”
“ Hng... *sniffing width*”
I brought a map and a pencil (Jiu). Jiu is not to be used. But in this kind of urgent situation. Whynot? Willy was trying to climb up the wall of the labyrinth made of enormous tree trunks.
I was on Willy's back until I got to one of those rods that was big enough and sturdy to sit on. I started drawing the way out of the labyrinth. Willy began to be amazed by the view from up here.
“ I've never had an adventure like this before *gaze at the Forest*”
“ Hmm... Really? *still focus on drawing maps*”
“ Yes... Have you ever had an adventure like this?”
“ E... That... That might not be exactly an adventure”.
“ Hah? Whatchu mean? *looking at Raisa*”
“ It's okay. I'm just bragging”
“ Hmm... You're this basic. But I admit you're pretty smart... *look at Raisa with a smile*”.
“*Seeing for a while then throwing your face to the side*”
Damnit damnit! Why does my face feel so hot? Why is my heart beating so fast? Why am I like this? Ahh... Why does her face look so sweet?
I kept focusing on drawing a map of the way out of the labyrinth. And after following the map I drew. We finally came out of the labyrinth. And it was unexpected that we had come out of the Deathly Forest.
I can't believe it turns out that behind the forest is very scary there is a very beautiful place. Many butterflies and small birds of various colors adorn this place. It seems like this place has never been reached by anyone.
“ Waahh... I didn't know there was a place this good... *look around*”.
“ Well... I too.. *admire around*”.
“ But there is no this place in peta”
“ What? Did ya? *close and see map*”
“*Nodging head*”
Although there is no incoming Moon and Star light. But, the light produced by the butterflies flying around here and there has made it look like the light of the Moon.
We decided to rest here. There are two reasons we decided to rest here. First, there are no creepy monster moves.
And second, the atmosphere is very calm. Making us tired of this body, heart and mind can rest comfortably. The place is also very pleasing to the eye.
It didn't take long for us to go to dreamland. And when I woke up the weather was very nice and bright. And some crevices of tree branches let the light of the Sun into this place.
It amazes me more and more about this place. Very clean, safe and secure. Makes me want to stay longer. I washed my face at the waterfall. And Willy picked some fruit for breakfast.
“ Raisa? Do you want to stay in this place?”
“ No. But maybe after I'm satisfied adventuring and finding a life partner. I'll stay and live happily with him here”
“ Hmm... What a beautiful delusion~”
“ Hahaha... Come on.. Let me fantasize for a moment..”.
‘Ssssttt..
We who were sitting under a shady tree and eating fruit on this sunny morning were surprised to hear hiss. The one I know. My biggest fear…
The snake!
A very large snake. Beyond my body. Even beyond Willy's height. His head began to widen and form like a spoon. Fangs sharp. And his tongue stretched out.
‘Ssttt...’
The second hissing of the Snake made me shudder in horror. My face immediately turned deathly pale looking at him who started to approach us slowly. I don't know what I'm doing. My whole body is frozen.
“What are you doing here? Even dare to steal my fruit..”.
“(In... He can talk! But Willy didn't seem to respond. Looks like he doesn't understand what the Snake is talking about)”
“You! Little girl... Can you understand what I say?”
“(Already! I better explain everything first. Just got scared)”
“I know you can understand me, little girl. Quickly tell me what you guys are doing here!”
“ We just run a mission to find Veronica fruit. There is no intention of entering your territory. Please forgive us. We're just looking for a way out of that labyrinth. I didn't expect to find this place. Ask you to forgive us”
“Hoo... Smart also you are speechless... Hmm.. Indeed Raisa never changed yes..”.
“ Do you know me?”
Instantly she turned into a woman in a long dress. His tail was gone and his body was scaly like a snake. His tongue was split in two like most snakes. His fangs are sharp too.
“ Uh? Sorry in advance.. Miss? Are you pregnant? *gaze at his belly that's holding up like he's bunting*”
“ Hah? Pfft... No! This was my dinner yesterday. Coincidentally the victim that was yesterday was quite large. So can fast for weeks”
“(Woah..)”
“ Emh. Actually... Who are you?”
“ Hmm... I am the demon White Snake! The one you saved from the Demon Eagle in the Demon Swamp. Haeh. I guess you don't remember it”
“ Ra.... Swamp of Satan?! Raisa... Have you really been there?”
“*Shoulder lifting*”
“ Pfftt... Hahaha.. It is indeed Raisa... Oh yes.. Why did you never come back here? You never visit me again. You know how much I miss you *hugging Raisa suddenly*”
We talked long enough with the Snake demon. A demon I once saved, though I don't actually remember ever meeting him.
He was very friendly and open with us. He also said if we were very good to get through the labyrinth that sometimes made him get lost too.
“ Actually where are you two headed?”
“ We plan to look for Veronica fruit. Are you where it is?”
“ Hmm... Veronica fruit yes. But I know someone who can tell you about Veronica's fruit”
“ Really?!”
“*Nothing head*”
“ Thank you... I'm really grateful to you..”.
“ No need to thank you like that. You saved me twice. Help you once is not the same. Oh yea! I can get you there faster. How?”
“ Can..”
We're leaving again. This time it was the Snake that delivered us. Turns out he didn't go with his Ular form. Instead call animals like a bird that can be climbed.
“ Raisa? Is this safe? I still doubt this demon.. *whispering to Raisa*”.
“ You are! He's fine too why are you still hesitating? *my reply to Willy while whispering*”
“ You guys ready?”
“ Yes!”
“ I... Yes..”
In one stroke our eyes were already on par with the clouds. Willy held on very tightly in my arms and tried not to look down. Pfft... Is he afraid of heights?
The view from up here is beautiful. Rarely can fly this high. By using an unusual vehicle, again! It feels like getting on a plane! I could only feel the wind.
It didn't take long for us to land somewhere very beautiful. This was the Sacred Swamp as Wei said (the Snake Demon). He just drove us to the entrance.
“ I can only take you here. And of course I'm not allowed to enter *subject*”
“ Thank you for everything. You're a good man. Not a bad guy. I'm sure you'll be able to get in here”
“*Lifting your head and then nodding to agree with Raisa*”
‘Cup..’.
Wei left immediately after giving me a kiss. I froze as soon as she gave me that kiss. That's. It's so vulgar! Sa.. Very strange! Why would he do it to the same sex?!
“ Have you not noticed? *approach Raisa. Actually he was drunk and vomiting from earlier*”
“ Hah? *by to Willy*”
“ She's Male, Stupid!”
“ A... What? Laki...laki? Wait... Is he a man? Why didn't I realize it?! But clearly her clothes were like women's clothes! What can prove he's a boy?!”
“ Simple! Her chest was flat.. *glancing towards Raisa's chest*”.
“ Hah? Oi! Look at the direction of your eyes! *shut chest part*”
Just-there's. How could I not realize that he was a man? But she is very beautiful and graceful. She could be called a Pure Woman! How can you be called a man?
As Wei said. There is such a guard in front of the gate of a building. Is this really the place Wei said it was? But I didn't expect a building like this to be built on a swamp.
“ Stop! Whoareyou? What's your purpose here?”
“ We are students of Magic Academy. Come here to carry out the mission. Want to ask your master something. Is there?”
“ No! Our master is out! It might come in a few days! You guys go back to your Academy”
“ But we have come all the way here just want to see your master!”
“ What is this fuss about? Who are you?”
“ We are Magic Academy students. Are you Mr Galileo?”
“ Yes it was me. Let them in. It's been a long time since anyone came here. It feels very quiet *walk in*”
“*Single eyes then follow that master and log in together*”
