At this moment, Lina and Uriel returned to the palace to pack their luggage, but they did not carry much luggage, so, they packed up quickly.
Uriel put a small leather bag into the storage room, and she said to Lina, "I'm going to the Chamber of Commerce, to settle the two-day sale of vegetables and fruits. Do you want to stay in the palace until I return? Or did you come with me to the Chamber of Commerce?"
Lina said, "I'm coming with you to go to the Chamber of Commerce."
Lina was not familiar with the surroundings in the palace, she also felt she did not have a sense of security if she lived in the palace alone. But being with Uriel, she's a lot more secure.
At that moment, Uriel carried him and immediately took Lina away. But before they came out of the palace, Uriel said to Lina, "Women usually don't set their feet there to avoid trouble, because there are so many people in the Chamber of Commerce. How about I take you to Vanda the Bamboo Bear's house? Do you want to wait there until my business is done?"
At the thought of being able to see Panda again, Lina was very happy.
"Yes yes. That's a good suggestion!"
On their way out of the palace, Lina couldn't help but ask the question she wanted so badly to ask, "Why did you and Azka bring your father's body up the mountain?"
"According to the rules here, after a King dies, his body will be thrown into the Holy Mountain. After that, the Gods will come down to retrieve their spirits," Uriel said trying to explain to Lina.
Lina who was half-believing upon hearing that immediately asked again, "Are there really gods and spirits?"
"Okay, I don't know either" replied Uriel. After a short pause, he continued to say again, "But I want when my father dies, his spirit can be reunited with my mother."
Since entering the palace, Lina had never seen the eldest sister Uriel and the Queen, nor had any of the Uriel family talked about it with her. Although Lina felt confused, but she had no intention to ask about it.
But today, for the first time Lina heard Uriel talking about her mother. Now Lina knows that Uriel's mother is dead.
Lina hugged Uriel by the neck and said softly, "Your parents must have been very happy, after they reunited."
"I hope so too.." Answer Uriel.
...........
The house of Vanda the Bamboo Bear, was in the neighborhood of the nobles.
"The walls of his yard are very high! Behind the fence of his house, I could see a vast courtyard filled with flower gardens and trees."
When Lina saw Vanda, she was lying on a hammock in the sun.
The Hammock he used, was made of animal skin tied between two trees.
The hammock that Vanda used to sleep in, made especially so that it was stronger, because of Vanda's fat body.
When Vanda saw Lina coming to her house, she immediately sat up from the bed.
"Lina, I didn't think you'd come to my place, what's wrong?"
Lina said with a sweet smile, "Uriel is having some business. Can I stay here for a while while waiting for him, until Uriel's business is done? I'm definitely not gonna bother you."
“No, what! I'm glad you came here." After saying that, Vanda asked the people to spread a quilt of fur on the grass, and then invited Lina to sit down. Then, the servants placed the fresh fruits in front of them.
Lina took out the fried sunflower seeds and they chatted while eating a snack.
"I'm leaving today" Lina told Vanda.
Hearing that, Vanda immediately asked, "Where are you going?"
"We're planning on going home." Answer Lina.
"Isn't your home in the palace?" Vanda asked while furrowing her brows.
Lina did not answer Vanda's question, she simply shook her head.
Actually, Vanda was also very reluctant to let go of Lina, she asked, "Are you going to come back here again?"
"I don't know." Answer Lina as she is.
The City of the Sun was Uriel's hometown, the place where she grew up. Lina also hoped, "If one day there is free time, I want to be able to come back here. But now things are getting complicated. I can come back here or not, it all depends on Azka and the high priest." Think Lina.
Vanda was feeling a little disappointed, "If you'll never come back to Sun City again, that means I won't be able to eat your fruits and vegetables again?"
Even his family also fell in love with the taste of Lina's fruits and vegetables, so the entire Vanda family also ate it.
The fruits and vegetables they stockpile have been consumed very quickly, and are expected to run out soon.
Lina also felt very helpless, she said, "I can't, the City of Sun is too far from our home. Even if I want to sell it to you, I can't deliver either."
"Do you still have fruits and vegetables? Especially bamboo shoots. I want to buy more!"
There were still plenty of supplies inside the storage room, but Lina felt uncomfortable if she took them out now. So he could only vaguely say, "Wait until Uriel returns, I'll ask her about this."
Generally, the female Orcs are only responsible for eating, drinking, and reproducing. The male Orcs are responsible for household work. Therefore, Vanda did not hesitate when she heard Lina's reply and was filled with hope, while waiting for Uriel's arrival.
Now they both await Uriel's arrival.
But Lina did not expect, that the person who came was not the person she was waiting for.
"Azka?"
The first thing Vanda liked in her life was bamboo shoots, and the second was Azka Noah.
As soon as Vanda saw Azka coming, her face immediately turned very cheerful and smiled happily.
"Azza. You came here?"
But the first words Vanda heard from Azka's mouth were, "I came here to look for Lina. Can we just talk to each other?"
Hearing that, Vanda's smile disappeared and her face seemed frozen.
First he looked at Azka, then looked at Lina. After that, she seemed to understand something, and then she cried.
"You.. You stabbed me in the back.. Huhuhuhuu.."
Seeing the crying Vanda, Lina quickly comforted him.
"Vanda, don't cry. My relationship with Azka is not what you imagined ..."
But unfortunately Vanda did not want to listen to Lina's explanation. While crying, he immediately ran away from there.
Lina immediately reached out her hand to hold back so that Vanda would not leave, exclaiming, "Wait a minute. Don't go!"
Although Vanda's body was fat, but he could run very fast. In just the blink of an eye, his existence was already nowhere to be seen anymore.
Behind Lina, Azka waved her hand to have all the servants leave from here.
Now there are only two people left, Lina and Azka.
Now Azka had succeeded to the throne and had become the new King for the City of the Sun.
Azka wears a necklace shaped like a pea that symbolizes the throne, and looks also Tiger tattoo on his chest. The shape of the Tiger tattoo is exactly the same as the Tiger statue at the palace gate, and it looks also sharp claws and fierce look.
In her left ear, Azka wears earrings in the form of water droplets from crystal-clear sapphires. Even a Lina who did not understand about sapphires could feel, "How soft the energy emitted by the sapphire was. It must be a precious stone."
Azka was staring at Lina, her blue eyes were shining, but not as clear as before.
It seemed that in his mind, there were some more complex things that Lina could not understand.
As Azka looked very similar to Uriel, the familiar feeling made Lina not feel afraid.
Then Lina frowned and said, "You'll know that Vanda likes you. If you said such a thing in front of him, he would definitely misunderstand your relationship with me. Later you have to explain all these misunderstandings to Vanda, so she won't be sad anymore."
Azka said, "Although if she misunderstood, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't like it. I never wanted to marry her."
Lina thought about Vanda, "The girl who is so beautiful, who is in love with a man, but the man does not love her. Poor Vanda.. But anyway, this is a personal matter between Azka and Vanda."
Lina as an outsider, didn't want to talk much about their business.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Ask Lina to Azka.
