Legacy Of Ennea

=== Euclio's Point of View ===

"Nicolas Maxwell" I said

And suddenly, it shows me a blurry image...

"That is when the person you observed are using Barrier Magic..." a boy next to me said...

"I see..." I said...

I looked at the boy next to me... he has blue eyes, the eyes of Bios... powerful enough to see the future...

Although for a few seconds...

"Euclio-sama... Jaxson-sama... Jeremiel-sama wants both of you in the throne chamber..." a commander with black eyes and white hair said...

She is Europa...

"Sure... let's go..." I said to Jaxson...

He nodded and followed me...

He is like a glue now, keep following me everywhere...

After I dueled Maxim, Maxim said that my style is pretty good already, and I can defeat him... in 200 years...

That is a long time...

Also, this boy asked me numerous times, to teach him swordsmanship...

Jeremiel and Evelyn are discussing about it... and so we waited in Jaxson's room...

"Here we are... please prepare your manner..." Europa said...

She is a really formal maid...

Nevermind, she is a commander... or a Protector you could say in Sky Kingdom...

The soldiers opened the door...

The soldier in the Sky Kingdom wears golden armor... everyone wears that, and even their swords and spears are made of gold... I wonder how rich this kingdom is...

We are finally stood in front of both Jeremiel and Evelyn...

While Jaxson is holding my hand...

Evelyn smiled when they seen us, I guess she looked happy...

"We have decided..." Jeremiel said...

I feel a very tense atmosphere from Jaxson... since he hold my hand really hard...

"Euclio... we want you to take care of Jaxson, and can you teach him swordsmanship?" Evelyn said...

Jaxson looked very happy... he has been hoping for that since last night...

But wait...

"I don't mind teaching him swordsmanship, but, I take care of Jaxson?" I asked both of them...

I believe they are trusting me too much, I just met Jaxson for a day...

"Don't worry, we know you since Nico met you... I know that you are a trustworthy guy...." Jeremiel said...

"I remember when both of them skip their first class" Evelyn said while laughing...

"W-What?! You watched that?!" I asked her

And Jeremiel laughed...

"We watched you everyday... Evelyn has some trust issue with you at first..." Jeremiel said...

"Yes! When you left Nico to duel Lex and Gina..." Evelyn said to me while smiling...

"Oh... that... I don't know why, but I just want to test his power... sorry..." I said...

Jeremiel smiled...

"Don't worry, since everything you've done has changed our thought about you..." Evelyn said...

"Yes... you are the most person I trust to be Nicolas's friend..." Jeremiel said...

Wow... I just received a lot of praises from a king and a queen of the Sky Kingdom...

Then I suddenly remember about Nico...

"Can I ask something?" I asked Jeremiel...

He nodded...

"Anything..." Jeremiel said...

"I don't know why, but Nico never asked this before..." I said...

Now both of them looked at me curiously...

"Why don't you come to your son earlier?" I asked...

Both of them looked surprised...

Evelyn looked at Jeremiel, while Jeremiel looked a bit sad...

"We've been watching Nico for a very long time..." Jeremiel explained...

"Yes, a 24 hours watch, so that anytime when he is in trouble, we can go and help him..." Evelyn said...

The problem is Navroth...

I thought she will knows if Jeremiel and Evelyn are watching Nico...

"The problem is Navroth..." Jeremiel said...

"She blocked it?" I asked...

"No, what is worse is that she allows it..." Jeremiel said...

Now, I am really confuse...

"What do you mean?" I asked Jeremiel...

"She allowed us to watch Nico everyday..." Jeremiel explained...

"And her treatment to Nico, is like a mother and son... Nico loves her, and Navroth loves him" Evelyn said with a bit sad...

"H-Hey... let's change the topic...I am sorry for making both of you bad memories..." I said.

"No... that's fine... I will continue" Jeremiel said...

Now Jaxson looked confused...

So, he do not know either...

"Navroth's love to Nicolas as a son, is real..." Jeremiel said...

"So we finally thought, that he better stay with Navroth... than with us, parents who can't protect his and her own son..." Jeremiel explained...

"Yes, we don't deserve a boy like Nicolas..." Evelyn said...

Now... I feel really bad for asking this question...

"I see... then, are you sure you want me to take Jaxson with me?" I asked both of them...

Jeremiel nodded...

"That is what the best for all of us..." Jeremiel said...

Evelyn come closer to Jaxson and give him a hug...

"Will you be okay without us?" Evelyn asked Jaxson...

"Of course Mom! I am 10 years old already..." Jaxson said

You are still 10 years old...

"Fine... we prepared your bag already..." Jeremiel told Jaxson...

Jaxson nodded...

"You can count on me..." I told Jeremiel and he nodded...

"I will leave it to you..." Jeremiel said...

"Here you go, Jaxson-sama..." Titania said...

Titania gave Jaxson a backpack...

Titania is one of Jeremiel's Protector... she has white hair and blue eyes...

"Thank you Titania..." Jaxson said, and Titania smiled...

"June has been prepared..." Umbriel said...

I nodded...

"This is farewell?" I asked Jeremiel...

"No, I can teleport next to you whenever I want..." Jeremiel said with a smile...

He is Jeremiel after all...

"Go..." Jeremiel said, and I nodded...

"We will be leaving..." I said...

Jaxson nodded as well...

"Bye..." Jaxson said to Jeremiel and Evelyn...

All of us left the throne room... and get down through stairs...

Jaxson is very popular among the citizen here... as expected from the prince...

"I-I never ride one of those..." Jaxson said after he seen June...

June come closer to Jaxson and sniffs Jaxson...

"What do you think?" I asked June...

"She is big..." Jaxson said...

"N-No, I'm talking to June..." I said... and now Jaxson looked speechless...

"Euclio-sama, Jaxson-sama..." someone call us from behind...

"Oh? Europa... what's wrong?" I asked her...

Behind her, we can see two Pegasus...

"A-Are you kidding me?" I said...

She shook her head...

"This is a gift from Jeremiel-sama..." she said and give it to me...

But when Europa about to give it to Jaxson, he refused it...

"I never ride this thing, is he forget or what?" Jaxson asked... he sounds a bit angry...

What a rude boy...

"You should not say something like that" I told Jaxson...

But he ignores me...

What a troublesome kid...

"Hey, if you want me to be your teacher, you have to obey me... it is not too late if you change your mind..." I told Jaxson...

He let a sigh...

"Fine, I am sorry... but I really can't ride a Pegasus..." Jaxson said... now he showed me a puppy face...

T-That face...

"Fine..." I said...

I come closer to the new Pegasus I just received...

"Hello, my name is Euclio..." I told the horse and she neighed...

She looked the same as June... but a bit smaller I guess...

"D-Did you just talk with the horse?" Jaxson asked with a bit teasing face...

"What? She understands..." I told Jaxson

Jaxson looked at Europa... and she nodded...

"Pegasus is different from other creature... they have their own soul..." Europa explained...

Jaxson seems a bit confuse...

"I will teach you later... come here..." I called Jaxson...

June is based on Nicolas's birthday right?

Then, I will name her... February?

That's too long...

I guess I have to make another name...

"Can I call you with Freya?" I asked the new Pegasus given by Jeremiel...

She neighed when I said that...

"She looks happy..." Jaxson said...

I nodded

"Why Freya?" Jaxson asked me...

He doesn't know?

"Freya means the second month... it is written in ancient ocean language..." I explained

Odin is the first month, Freya the second, Thor is the third and there are more for each month... until the last one, the twelfth Loki...

And Jaxson displayed a confuse face...

I let a sigh...

It was an ancient language afterall...

"Let's go Freya!" I said...

But June come closer to me and neighed...

I guess it is my time to say farewell to June...

I mean, June is supposed to be with Nicolas...

I come closer to June, and our forehead meet...

"Thank you June... go and return to Nicolas, I will meet him soon..." I told June, and she neighed happily...

I guess I kept him too long...

"Oh June! One thing..." I told June before she left...

"Tell Nico to put his barrier off at 12 AM... I will be watching him with Clairvoyance..." I told June...

She neighed once more...

"Thank you for everything" I said while I am patting June...

I released June from my hand...

"Go, return to Nicolas..." I said

She nodded... and jumped from the balcony, to the sky...

I let a sigh...

I will be missing her for a while...

"H-Hey Euclio..." a boy behind me called my name...

"Huh? What's wrong..." I asked...

He looked a bit... sick?

"A-Are we going to fly like that?" Jaxson asked...

Is he afraid?

The first time I tried riding June is scaring me as well... but Nico pushed me to do it and now, I am used to it...

"That's okay, I will be right behind you..." I said to Jaxson...

Freya then lowered her body to let us sit on her...

I raise Jaxson up and put him on the front seat... then I sit behind him...

"A-Are you sure that it is safe?" Jaxson asked...

"Of course..." I said...

I looked at Europa and she smiled...

"Please take care of Jaxson-sama..." Europa said...

I nodded...

"You can leave it to me..." I said

I then patted my Pegasus

"Freya, let's fly slowly..." I told the Pegasus we are riding...

She neighed... and she is flapping her wings...

"WOOAAHHH!" Jaxson shouted from above Freya...

"Let's go!" I said and Freya jump to the waves of clouds down there...

"WOAAAAHAHAHAAAA!'" Jaxson shouted...

That is a long shout...

But within seconds... we are on the Ocean already...

"You are fast Freya!" I told Freya, and she neighed happily...

And on a small island above Qiteron Kingdom, I can see hundreds of soldiers are waiting... those soldiers brought a Kraken Flag... those are my armies...

"Who are they?" Jaxson asked me...

"They are my soldiers..." I told Jaxson...

"W-Wait?! You are a noble?!" Jaxson asked...

H-He just know about that?!

"I am the prince of Qiteron Kingdom, and the next king!" I told Jaxson...

Now he looked surprised... this boy doesn't know a thing isn't he...

Jeremiel... what have you taught to your own son...

We land on the island, where I usually put June there... we made a house for June, but since June has left... this place is for Freya...

The soldiers that are waiting there open us a path... so that we can land...

After we landed on the ground, an old man come out...

"Who is this boy?" Tousan asked...

Jaxson looked afraid and he hide behind my back...

"He is Jaxson Maxwell, son of Jeremiel Maxwell..." I said...

Now, Tousan looked surprised...

"He made another child?" he asked...

Tousan... you have 40 kids and you complain?!

"Come closer boy..." Tousan called Jaxson...

Jaxson is still afraid...

He never see or even set foot on the ground...

I come closer to Tousan while holding Jaxson hand...

"He is Feurius Qiteron, my father... the current king..." I told Jaxson...

He remains silent...

"Tousan, he will be staying with me..." I told him...

Tousan nodded...

"Fine..." Tousan said, and he come closer to touch Jaxson...

Jaxson looked surprised, when Tousan touched Jaxson's cloth...

A blue orbs shines above Tousan's head...

"Enhancing Magic... Water Breath..." Tousan casted the spell...

I looked at Jaxson... and his cloth is shining blue, but then it faded...

"Try to breath in the water..." Tousan said to Jaxson...

Jaxson looked confuse... and he looked at me... I give him a nod to approves what Tousan asked him to do...

Jaxson searched for the nearest water, and he found a bucket. When he come closer to the bucket, I hold his hand...

"T-That is for Freya... come here..." I bring him to the coast... and...

"The Ocean is so huge!" Jaxson told me...

I nodded...

"The world is larger than you thought" I told Jaxson...

Jaxson come closer to the water and put his head under the water and...

"I-I can breathe!" Jaxson told me while still under water... and I looked at Tousan...

"So, that's how you bring other race into the water... I should have tried it earlier..." Tousan said...

"How long can he stay under water?" I asked Tousan...

"As long as I live..." Tousan said...

"How about your mana?" I asked...

"Mana? My mana is limitless..." Tousan said while smiling...

It's been a very long time since I talked with him... he is actually a fun person to talk to...

"Euclio..." Tousan called my name...

He suddenly looked at me seriously...

"Tousan?" I responded... while looking at him

"You will be a great king one day..." Tousan said

He then looked at him

What change him out of a sudden...

Did his head hit something during the fight...

"Tousan, did you just drink?" I asked and he hit my head...

"Of course no! I will be making you as the next king..." Tousan told me...

He is drunk...

But he looked at me seriously...

He is not drunk...

I let a sigh...

"Tousan, I have to say something..." I told Tousan...

"Hmmm? What is it?" Tousan asked me...

"I never have any interest in being a king, all I want is to make a peace world... you have succeed in creating this kingdom peaceful, but that is not enough..." I told Tousan...

He looked at me speechlessly...

"I want you to be the King all people admired, not only in this Kingdom but in the whole world... I don't like when people spread a bad rumor about you..." I told Tousan...

He then smiled...

"That is why..." I said...

"That is why I want you to be that king..." Tousan told me...

He looked at me with his smile...

"I don't know Tousan... I love my life already..." I told Tousan...

He nodded...

"Yes, but after I die, you should be the king!" Tousan said...

"Then, I will never be a king!" I told Tousan...

He smiled...

"I will help my best, so that our kingdom can clean up our name..." I told Tousan...

He nodded...

"I will prepare a meeting with each King of Ocean Kingdom..." Tousan said as he come closer to Jaxson...

Jaxson is still... playing with the water...

"Swordsmanship or Witchcraft?" Tousan asked Jaxson...

Jaxson looked at Tousan, and he smiled... Swordsmanship

"Swordmanship" Jaxson said...

Tousan looked at me, and I smiled...

"Your first student?" Tousan asked me...

I nodded...

"Are you strong enough?" Tousan asked...

"Not enough, but at least I have enough experience... since I had fought the second and the third... even Navroth..." I told Tousan...

Yes... I have a lot of dangerous experience, but I survive... I will keep improving, and move forward...

Nico is a mage, I will be the swordsman... Rin is the fighter, and Erin is our protector... not our, mostly Nicolas's...

"Hah! Let see what he can do in the next three years..." Tousan told me...

"Three years?" I asked...

Did he know my plan?

"You will meet with the other right? Don't worry, I will be the King that you wanted... don't worry about me from now on... worry yourself..." Tousan told me, and as he pass me, he touch my should... then he left...

Hmmm, so even Tousan has his soft side...

After he left, Jaxson come closer to me...

"He is a good person..." Jaxson said...

Now, he sounds like Nico...

Nicolas's Point of View

It has been a week since the underground city was created...

The size of the underground is gigantic, using this legendary staff I can amplify my magic like hundreds time larger, and at the same time, the mana loss is not as much the output... so it is very efficient...

I am now used to it... but the power to control is pretty hard, since the output is very large... I was asked to burn a campfire, and instead of burning the dry wood, I almost burn the entire forest...

And when I cast a [WATERBALL] it became a rain....

I controlled a weather!

But this power is too much, I actually could injured my ally without realizing it... which is why, I do not use it anymore... maybe for now...

And now, we are on the exit door of the underground city and everyone is preparing for our voyage

"Nisan, let's go... we have to return to Beastman Continent..." Nate said...

He looked a bit troubled

"Is something wrong?" I asked Nate...

"N-No... I don't know..." Nate told me, but still... something is in his mind...

"Calm down, let me search him for a while..." I told Nate and he nodded...

I close my eyes, and activate all of the elements...

Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Brown Orbs appears above my head, and

"Clement Maxwell..." I said...

And I got a sight of blurry images...

I let a sigh in relieved...

"Tousan is alive..." I told Nate... and Nate looked a bit relieved as well...

"Thank you Nisan!" Nate said and left...

I guess his mood has change...

"Nico..." a girl come closer...

She wears a heavy armor, and she looks beautiful with her blonde hair...

"Y-Yes?" I asked in surprised...

"Doctor Frans is ready as well, we could go whenever we want to..." Eria told me

I nodded...

I looked at Rueger...

"Are you coming with us?" I asked...

He nodded...

"Of course, let's return..." Rueger said...

"We are ready as well..." Orseus said...

I looked at Ethan, and I nodded... telling him that we are ready...

"Okay, let's go!" I told everyone and Noah lift down the earth magic wall...

Our horses move...

We are now using two carriages, pulled by 2 horses each...

The mages behind us lift up the wall once more... so that the underground base remain hidden...

When we arrive back at home, we should prepare ourselves to head Dwarven Kingdom...

Norman's Point of View

"Everything is clear!" A soldier shouted...

Clear?

Only two of these men defeated the sixth?!

Our enemy is stronger than I thought...

I found Orphamiel alive, but without hands... he is the same as if he is dead.

So I decided to kill him...

I hate traitor, although he turns out to be our ally, but a traitor is a traitor... he betrayed his own kin, his own family... what a disgrace

And what is this place?!

This place is too good to be real... I never see something like this in my whole life

I can see houses are built as well, so those rats lived here...

"Nothing, we found nothing other than those death body..." A soldier said...

"Okay, let's leave this place..." I told the soldiers...

"Yes!" everyone said in unison...

The two of them here? And left behind?

That is impossible...

There must be other survivors that has escaped...

Also, news from Haven... that the staff is stolen...

Which means that, everyone will be returning to this place...

I should left some soldiers to stand by...

But are they returning?

I believe retrieving the Legendary Staff is their main objective...

This is weird, now I understand why Navroth-sama is aiming for these kids. They have immeasurable strength.

They are pretty smart either...

Staying in this place? No one would be expecting a place like this exist, but Navroth-sama lives for a very long time already...

She knows every place in this world...

Still, barrier magic is her main enemy...

Which is why she hates Maxwell, especially the first Maxwell... Auxillium Maxwell, the founder of Barrier Magic...

Navroth-sama hates those Maxwell, but why does she become soft now...

She change after she left House Maxwell and return to the throne...

But no matter what, I will obey the rule...

"Norman-sama... preparation are ready..." a soldier said...

"Okay, let's check Neku..." I told the soldier from my horse...

I decided to left the corpse on the ground...

So that Nicolas Maxwell is able to see his dead father...

And we will searched for the other survivors, we will kill those rats

Also, we found Persey's body... Persey is one of the strongest warrior in Human Continent... that would be a great loss for them...

They will be really surprised after they found the bodies...

Navroth's Point of View

Norman reported that Orphamiel is dead, along with Clement...

Clement, I am sorry for deceiving you for these past ten years...

But this is how to make peace in this world...

There must be sacrifices...

Along with Persey, I heard from Norman that Persey is a strong man and both Persey and Clement were able to stop Orphamiel.

Everything is out of my prediction.

A soldier come inside the room while running, and bow in front of me...

"Navroth-sama... Alduir has returned..." the soldier said

Without my confirmation, Alduir come inside the throne chamber...

"You are still here?" Alduir asked me...

"Of course, and you looked like you just fail..." I told him...

Then he looks angry...

"Maxim! He was there! Protecting Qiteron Kingdom!" Alduir told me angrily...

"If you want me to put up Barrier Magic around Qiteron Kingdom, that will takes some time..." I told Alduir...

His injury is pretty bad...

"Create... Light...." I said

And a yellow orb fly above my head,

"Holy Magic.... Heal..." I said and Alduir is blessed with my magic...

"You fail a lot lately..." I told him...

"Cih, that is something unexpected..." Alduir told me...

"Go, I don't have any mission for you..." I told Alduir...

Then he looked surprised...

"Are you expelling me?" Alduir asked, he sounds a bit afraid...

"No, but you need to take a rest, go and stay in Neku... I believe Norman need you..." I told Alduir...

"Fine..." Alduir said and left

"Alduir..." I called his name...

He looked back, and he looked a bit scared... "Don't you ever try to betray me... I have marked you..." I told Alduir.

Alduir nodded...

"Go.." I said and he left...

I have marked him... if he betrayed me, I can teleport to him instantly and kill him...

No, I can use [JUDGEMENTDAY] to kill him instantly without me teleporting to him...

Neku, Nicolas's friend is in Neku...

I can't see them, I believe they made their own Barrier...

This world is cruel, but I will be the Empress...

No matter what, I have to succeed in taking over everything, before everyone come...

Nicolas's Point of View

Two months later... we arrived...

We arrived in Bazo...

As expected from Admiral Adrian, it is true that the security in this area is the least...

I hide my face, also Ethan, Leon, and Morgan...

Nate, Nathalia and Ed's face are not really known. People easily notice me because of my red eyes...

Ethan, Leon and Morgan are a princes, their face is well-known...

"N-No, Ed must hide his face..." Morgan told Ed...

"H-Huh? Why?" I asked...

I just thought the opposite thing...

"Your face is known by a lot of people already... and Ed's face is similar to yours..." Morgan said...

I looked at Ed's face, and he looked at me...

Eria, Nathalia and Erin laughed when they saw both of us looked at each other...

"I agree..." Nathalia said...

And we decided to give a heavy armor to Ed, including with the helmet...

We are still inside our ship, and prepare ourselves before we get down...

I take my staff and of course the Auxillium Staff as well...

"Put it here..." Ethan said and he asked me to put the staff inside the crate...

Yes, the staff is too catchy, it will get everyone's attention

I put the staff inside the crate, and Rin put the crate inside the wagon that we are going to use for traveling...

Our destination is... toward the Labyrinth...

I come and enter the wagon with everyone else, this time we decided to use one wagon only, it is easier to manage.

Doctor Frans decided to stay with the ship, and he will bring the ship back to Neku... so the next time we depart, it won't be from Bazo but Neku...

And, there are some of us decided to help Doctor Frans, which is Rin, Roxane, Rueger and Orseus...

So we are leaving without them...

"See you later..." Rin said his farewell to me...

I nodded...

"We will meet soon..." I told Rin...

"Doctor Frans... Thank you!" I shouted as the wagon begin to move...

Doctor Frans gives me a smile...

"Bye everyone! See you later..." Roxane said as well to all of us...

"Make sure to meet us outside the Labyrinth..." Nathalia said to Roxane... and she nodded...

"Take care of yourself, everyone!" Ethan said...

All of us waved our hand...

Noah is driving the Wagon, along with Nate...

We left the harbor, and enter the city. We need to pass the Royal Palace to leave this city. I hope no one is suspicious about our wagon.

And suddenly... our wagon stop moving...

"What happened?" Eria asked Noah, and then she looked very surprised...

She return to all of us, and say "S-Soldiers are stopping us!" Eria said...

Eria, Leon, Ethan and I are preparing ourselves, but Morgan stopped us...

"H-Hey, act calmly... we are an adventurer... nothing wrong with that right?" Morgan said

A-Ah yes... we are disguising ourselves...

When the soldier come closer...

"Everyone out, we will be inspecting the carriage for safety reason..." The soldier said...

And all of us leave our wagon...

When I left, I can see several soldiers are preparing themselves already...

Has our disguise been revealed?

The soldier inside our wagon, is checking a crate...

The crate where I put the Auxillium's Staff...

When he opened it...

He looked a bit surprised, and the soldier looked at us...

"All of you sure are rich children... why don't you do something else, why adventure?" the soldier asked while he left the wagon...

"Oh, we are pretty bored with our lives..." Ethan said to the soldier....

He looked at Ethan... Ethan is wearing a helmet, so the soldier do not know the fact that Ethan is the Prince of Perius Kingdom...

"Are you a noble or something?" the soldier asked...

"No, our parents are having their own business..." Nathalia told the soldier...

The soldier changed his view to Nathalia...

"I see, what business?" the soldier asked...

"Monster Loot..." Nathalia said...

The soldier nodded...

"I see, sorry for taking your time, you may leave..." The soldier said...

"Thank you..." Nathalia said with a smile, and all of us one by one enters the wagon...

We continue our journey...

"Fiuh, that was close..." Ethan said...

"I guess, we should left the talking to Nathalia... wearing helmets are too suspicious..." Morgan said...

I nodded in agreement...

We continue our journey without any problem, until we finally reach the gate to leave Bazo...

But then someone stopped us...

I can't see those people but...

"F-Fast! Come inside!" Noah told those person outside...

W-Wait... Noah just asked those person to enter the wagon? Who are they?!

But then, we can see Javier's face...

"J-Javier?!" I said in surprised...

"Come, faster..." Javier said and asking everyone with him to come inside the wagon...

Who are they?

"R-Rick!" I said in surprised...

Not only Rick, but everyone else...

Karl, Precilla, Fredrich, Lisa, and Julian as well...

"W-What are you doing in Bazo?" Ethan asked them...

Noah and Nate, which are supposed to be driving are listening as well...

"Hey! Move out!" a carriage behind us shouted...

I looked at both of them and they moved back to the driver seat...

Then we can feel that the wagon is moving...

I looked at their face, and... all of them looked, depressed...

They are not supposed to get out from the cave...

I release my helmet, since we are inside the wagon...

"Javier?" I called him...

Javier is not looking at me...

This is bad...

"I have bad news..." Julian spoke up...

All of us looked at him...

Except Precilla, Karl, Fredrich, Lisa and Rick...

"W-Where is Tousan?" Nathalia asked...

.....

Julian looked at her...

"Persey and Clement-dono was fighting against Orphamiel..." Julian said...

.....

Nathalia remains silent...

Everyone do...

Just the step of horses we can hear...

"We haven't heard anything from them afterwards ..." Julian continues...

"T-Then... there might be a chance that they survive right??" I asked Julian

"No..." Javier said...

All of us looked at him...

"Commander Norman has checked the Labyrinth... there seems to be no survivor, even Orphamiel itself..." Javier explained...

Now everyone is speechless...

And Nathalia is crying...

That voice, really breaks my heart...

Ed come closer to Nathalia and gives her a hug...

"That's okay... calm down Nathalia..." Ed said whisperingly...

Tousan, Grandpa...

Both of them...

As we left the city, Leon remove his helmet... and sit on the driver seat...

He wants to cheer Nate...

"Sorry..." I hear Leon's voice from outside...

"H-He is the person I want to become..." Nate said while crying...

"I will take the ride..." Morgan said to me and move forward to the driver seat...

Nate can't focus during this time...

Nate and Leon return inside the wagon, and I can see his eyes are red already...

"Nisan!" Nate come closer to me and hug me...

"W-Why do we have to left them back in the cave!" Nate said...

Everyone can hears his cry...

Ethan come outside and sit in the driver seat as well...

"I don't know... Tousan just want the best for everyone..." I told Nate...

"I-If he come with us, he will be alive!" Nate said...

Nathalia has been calmed by Ed...

Also Eria...

I looked at Rin and Erin...

Both of them almost cried...

Tousan...

"Grandpa... Tousan... both of them has left us!" Nate said again...

The atmosphere is really awful...

"I-I am sorry... I-I can't do anything else..." I said to Nate...

Nate looked at me in confusion...

I decided to jump from the wagon...

"N-Nicolas!" Rick shouted...

But I left them and fly using my Gravity Magic

"I am sorry..." I said

Nate's Point of View

N-Nisan...

Why did he leave us...

I-Is he running away?!

"No... he is not running away..." Eria told me...

I looked at Rin and Erin... and both of them nodded...

"I am sorry for your loss... but we have to keep moving..." Eria told me...

"H-Hey, aren't you being too rash?" Rick said to Eria...

"No, I have to tell you the truth... Nicolas and you, are both the same..." Eria said while pointing at me...

"Nicolas is the eldest son, and so you are... but he always act as the eldest son for you as well..." Eria said to me...

"He always carry all of your burden... like when your grandpa die... he is the one that cheer you up... but who is the one that cheer him up?" Eria asked...

Now, I am thinking...

Nisan... he is strong...

"He is strong..." I said, but then Eria say "No, he is weak..."

"Stop saying that he is strong... don't you see that he is running? He is surprised with the news as well, not only both of you... and it is now your turn to encourage him..." Eria said to me...

All of them nodded... and I nodded as well...

Nisan, I am sorry for relying on you too much...

I never try to understand your feeling at all...

"Should we stop?" Erin asked...

"No, let's continue, Nico can find us easily..." Eria told Erin and she nodded...

"But, where are we going?" Lisa asked...

"It's a month before we have to move to Dwarven Kingdom right? Let's head there..." Ethan said

Everyone nodded...

And I can see Nathalia still in a bad shape...

I hate it when my sister cry... but what can I do now?

She is now under Eria's care, and also Ed...

I hate to say but I do rely on Nisan too much...

I-I should be more m.a.t.u.r.e...

I am the next Archduke, I am the first son of Clement Maxwell... Nisan is just helping me from the beginning...

I will be stronger, strong enough so that I won't lose to anyone else...

Nicolas's Point of View

I am now in a forest... somewhere near the carriage...

I can't hold my tears anymore, which is why I decided to run away. Mostly, when I cry in front of everyone, that is because I do not realize it. But this time, I know that I am going to burst out...

C-Clement-Tousan...

I miss how he carried me like a baby, eventhou that is embarassing... I don't mind if he do that right now!

But where is he now?!

Tousan...

The one who raised me, the one who protected me, the one who taught me a lot of things, and my father.

"Dammit!" I said while punching my hand to a tree...

"AARRRGHHHHH!!!!" I shouted...

Then I can feel my hand is bleeding

I hate this life!

Why do I need to experience all of this things... at the beginning, I thought that this world is fun, but now it turns out to be much crueler than my previous world.

I can't protect anyone, Grandpa and Tousan.

I am such a useless person.

I don't deserve this life, why do I get this second chance of living. I activate my magic, and fly again higher...

Tousan left me...

Grandpa left me...

Even Euclio left me...

Both of my real parents left me...

I can't do anything...

Should I end my life?

I look downward...

"This is pretty high..." I said to myself...

Even I can touch the clouds...

I hate to say... but my life is a failure. I lost everything important in my life, not just in my previous life, but this life is worse.

Then I decided to deactivate my magic...

I begin to fall...

The wind is pushing my face...

I never thought that this feels, relaxing...

I can see the ground, it is getting closer... and somehow I do not feel afraid of dying anymore...

Maybe if I die I'll move to another world?

"Nate, Nathalia, Edmund... Euclio, Ethan... I leave it all to you..." I said within my heart...

And I close my eyes...

'BAMMMMMM!'

I feel my body was kicked....

'ARGHHH!!!'

I spit blood, but I landed on the ground...

Safely?

I am still closing my eyes...

But then I hear a familiar sound...

A neighed?

When I open my eyes...

I see a Pegasus...

"J-June?!?" I said in surprised...

After saying that, I spit blood once more...

I can't get up...

"ARGHH!" I shouted...

I looked at her face while still lying on the floor...

"J-June...I am sorry..." I told her...

My voice is now cracking... I am barely speaking...

I can see her angry face, and she is angry to me? But at the same time, I can see her tears...

June is crying for me?

I-Is she afraid if I left her behind?

"I-I am sorry June..." I said with my voice cracking and I am trying to touch her face...

My body feels very heavy...

She come closer to me and seat next to me... and she put her head under my palm...

I looked at her sad face...

"I am sorry..." I said while crying

"I will not do that again..." I said while crying as well...

And I cough... and spit blood...

June suddenly stood up... and she neighed to me...

W-What is she going to do?

And she run away...

"J-June...." I called her name...

Don't leave me...
