The Strange Life I Live

Forbidden Area

The atmosphere of the forbidden area where the movement of monsters in it began to become a thing that was wary of the 4 Kingdoms where their territory was directly adjacent to the forbidden area.

The Kingdom of Enex has now sent some of its troops to be on standby so that the monsters inside the forbidden area do not get out of place, and destroy some villages not far from the territory of his kingdom.

“Hahh... why disasters always haunt our kingdom” said King Maeloch, King of the Kingdom of Enex whose head is currently seemed to want to explode with various events that befall his Kingdom.

Enex had currently managed to dispel the pressure from the Heilight Kingdom by providing some great compensation to the Kingdom. But at this time new events re-emerged where the forbidden area of their territory began to get out of control.

“Please my husband, I'm sure all this will end” reply his queen who is still loyal to help him face all these problems.

“I know my wife..if only that time I behaved well” replied King Maeloch who thought of the incident about Zen before.

“Already, after all, did not the messenger we sent to meet with the Prince of Zen will return” the Empress of the Kingdom of Enex was back.

“Ya.. but it seems they cannot convince the Prince to return” the King replied.

Indeed, the news of Zen not wanting to return to the kingdom of Enex had reached the ears of King Maeloch, and all members of his royal family. They were very sorry that Zen did not want to return to the kingdom of Enex.

The Empress, who felt so guilty about what happened to the man she was so strongly supporting to marry her daughter, also lamented that Zen did not want to return. But he only accepted Zen's decision with the airy chest especially he saw his daughter Aghni felt very sorry about his actions.

“Let the prince fly using his own two wings, who knows the twig he once visited, will make it back.” The real empress said she wished Zen well to return.

Elsewhere but still within the territory of the Kingdom of Enex. The youngest princess of this kingdom, Princess Anne is currently training seriously. By swinging his sword continuously, he tried to become stronger at the moment.

Surprisingly, unlike the high-ranking nobles and other members of the Enec kingdom, he did not possess the strength that should be within him, that of the blessing of one of the Phoenix saint beasts.

“Nothing – what, Brother Agelia said I can be strong without having to have the power of Phoenix” Reply Princess Anne who is still seriously swinging her sword.

Princess Angelia, or her cousin brother had already left this kingdom two weeks ago, after examining the hero. Surprisingly, his cousin's sister told him to be wary of the hero.

Why is it strange according to Anne, because her cousin's sister only told this news to her mother and herself, and did not tell the others and told them to keep what he said to anyone secret.

“Ya... true said Sister Angelia, I have to be strong to protect what I love” replied princess Anne with a passionate throat – gebu.

The Empress and Princess Anne did not understand Princess Angelia's intention of simply telling them to be vigilant and not telling the others. Even when Princess Angelia tried to train Princess Anne, she did not reveal the reason when the princess asked her.

“Hahhh...” and so the voice of one who is practicing continues and has discarded his thoughts about the words of his Cousin Brother.

Somewhere else in a village. Currently several soldiers and adventurers had already filled the place, where they were assigned to guard this region from the raging monsters and came from the forbidden area.

“We have finally returned to this village” replied a man with his full armor, who had just gotten off the horse carriage that brought some adventurers with him.

“True Kapten” reply Ari who is quite happy to return to this place.

The man and woman who were chatting was a party from the city of Pavel, who was assigned to come to a village called Pina Village, a village that was almost destroyed but they managed to save.

“Ya... try Zen is still in Pavel city, he must be with us back to this place” replied a woman named Sif and reciprocated a nod by all her party colleagues.

“Hmm... I don't know where he's been, but it takes a month's journey to the capital isn't it?” reply to his partner named Ari.

They were currently walking towards a place that would be their resting place. But on the way they meet a blue-haired woman they know very well, who currently wants to ride a horse-drawn carriage that will take her away.

“Nona Alice?” sif said trying to greet the woman.

Of course the woman called Alice looked straight at the origin of the voice that called her name, and was very surprised to see the four people she knew were in this place.

“You? Why are you all here?” ask Alice.

“We are one of the parties assigned to protect this region from the attacks of Monsters from the Forbidden Area” replied Ari.

Indeed, the village of Pina is the closest village to the forbidden area, therefore all troops owned by the Raven kingdom will gather in this place and make this village as their command center.

“Ah really... then does she also come with you?” alice asked, hoping that the person she hadn't met for a long time, would come to this place.

“Dia... You mean Zen, he left the city of Pavel a week ago and headed to the capital” reply Bennard later.

Hearing this, Alice was immediately stunned. He did not believe the promise he made to Zen before was not kept by him, not even Zen gave himself any news of his earlier departure towards the Capital.

“D-He has left Pavel city?” said Alice who tried to confirm.

Indeed Zen had already promised to wait for himself in Pavel City and head for the capital with him. This promise was made by Zen, because Alice forced to keep him in this village until his apprenticeship ended and would depart with him to the Capital.

“T-But Yui also didn't tell me” Alice replied.

Alice and Yui often communicated with their Communication Gem, but Yui never stopped about their departure to the capital sooner.

“Have you forgotten me Zen” muttered Alice who was beginning to feel very sad about the reality she had just heard.

“Ah Yes Miss Alice, then where are you going?” sif asked then who saw Alice going to ride a horse carriage.

Alice tried her best to hide her feelings of sadness and tried to answer the question Sif had thrown at her.

“My internship time is over, now I will return to the Capital with some talented students” replied Alice while showing some children who were already in the train that will take her.

Alice's internship is over, now, and he was finally able to return to the Capital after successfully completing his apprenticeship and preparing to cross a new hurdle to become a teacher at the greatest magic school in the kingdom.

“Barakkah... Though I went to this village intending to meet you back“ reply Sif.

“I'm sorry, I can't stay longer” said Alice, who was actually quite sad that she couldn't spend more time with people she knew.

They had a little chat, although as usual Lexi just listened to their conversation, until finally Alice had boarded the train that he was riding to the Capital and began to move from there after he said goodbye to the party from Bennard.

In the carriage carrying her, Alice once again thought of the words from the adventurer party she met about Zen leaving her. Sad, that was how Alice felt at this moment because Zen did not keep the promise made with her

“Cih... All men are the same. ”
