CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Charlotte's Fretfulness

A few moments before.

Charlotte's grand palace shook violently. It was even able to make a thunderous sound that shook the palace of skyscrapers that spiced up the hubris. Many, all screaming in fear. The stormy wind came accompanied by an earthquake around the palace although at this time the palace was hovering in the clouds.

That chaotic wind rattled him with strength. He is not subject to anyone, he only follows the voice that has the right to move him.

“What is this?!” ask Charlotte. In fact, his great throne also trembled in fear. Charlotte's ears heard the boisterous voice of her people down there, but were slightly muffled by the windstorm that even circled her palace, raging.

Fortunately, an unknown wind came from where it did not destroy the entire palace. Everyone panicked, but not Charlotte.

Although he wondered about the storm that came with this strange, he still sat firmly on his silver throne and was calm even though the entire palace was chaotic.

“Queen, we better go take cover!” pinta one of her ladies who had been sitting with her on the throne.

“No.” Charlotte refused firmly. Then, he got up and closed his eyes slowly. Instantly a white feather appeared fluttering behind his body like a white peacock.

Although it looked chaotic on the outside, Charlotte was peaceful. He cast a spell of peace. A white light surrounded him. In fact, the sun sign accompanied by the two clouds on his forehead was shining. The sign is a great sign that makes him the ruler of the land of Everfalls.

Slowly, he whispered to the storm that almost ravaged his palace. “Great spirit. Holier. Stop rampaging.”

Suddenly, Charlotte looked uneasy with her eyes still closed. It was like hearing something. While at his side, the palace servants were increasingly anxious because they could not act more while outside was already collapsed.

Several times they persuaded Charlotte, but their queen did not budge in the slightest and was still focused on her magic as if receiving an answer.

Indeed indeed. Samar-sama Charlotte heard the sound of wind whispering in her ear, answering the call. “You are not our Master, then we will not follow your orders!”

Both of Charlotte's eyes whizzed. Cold sweat poured out all over his body. He did not expect, but all this time all subject to his orders, no exception anyone and from any race. In fact, the elements present in Wolestria could he submit at once.

However, why would this one whirlwind dare to reject her magic call to remain calm? Though Everfalls is also famous for the Land of Wind and Charlotte is very friendly with the wind in this country.

Wh who?

Who can divert his power?

Soon, Charlotte's headed for someone. He half ran followed by his ladies who were partly from the angel race. They followed where Charlotte went.

“Gao! Gao!” his yell. Charlotte's chest rumbled violently. Blood rustling. His heart was troubled even though he was trying to remain calm. Something forced him to act.

Wh who?

Who would dare to do this?

Is there a supreme race that can shift its orders?

All along, Charlotte was any superpower holder. All are under it. Charlotte can't be quiet, she feels threatened. In fact, this windstorm was it a big sign?

Is this the apocalypse?

Was the wind that came with this mess the rumored doomsday wind?

Will Everfalls ever come to an end?

Charlotte heads to one of the palace rooms filled with carvings and also traces of elements. The room was not far from his throne so that the woman did not need much time to get to the place she was headed.

A young boy of Ellena's age appears. Yes, he is Gao The Alchemist. A palace alchemist. His life was dedicated to the palace from the time he was born, just like Gall, orc the warrior commander.

Charlotte's palace only houses two men, Gall and Gao. They are creatures that serve only the palace. If they betray, then they die and the Everfalls forget about it because the Atma Tree erases their tracks.

“What is this? Do you know?” ask Charlotte worriedly. He who was always calm, now he began to fret. I don't know for what reason, he thought of a ‘last’ that would overwrite something.

Is the apocalypse really coming?

“No.” Gao shook his head slowly interspersed with his smile. “However, I have to clean up one pest for me to research, Your Majesty.”

After saying that, Gao's grin looked like a crescent moon on a dark night. It was like getting a new light of hope from his grim and cold face. During this time Gao was big and lived also in the palace academy that had once glowed.

He had time to hang out with anyone, because the people were so free to go in and out of the palace. In fact, the palace was already like their home. However, when Gao was ten years old, he was locked up in the palace with Gall and Steven.

Then, Charlotte raised her palace and forbade them to meet the people under the abyys Everfalls or commonly called the abyss. Yeah, Charlotte named it that way because the real Everfalls are way below her palace.

“What do you mean, Gao?” ask Charlotte for a moment.

“Your Highness, it looks like those pests have indeed damaged the atmosphere in Everfalls.”

“Hama?” Charlotte's two eyebrows are linked. His forehead shriveled. “What do you mean?”

“Tempo days, you feel a commotion around the palace clouds, right?” Gao's smile that had many meanings was constantly widening unceasingly as if the alchemist's atmosphere was currently good.

“So, it was them?”

“Ya.” Gao nodded with certainty. “Those who have lately made His Majesty's heart restless. They're little bullies that I'll take care of soon.”

Chief Gao lowered his head, saluting the great queen of this country. He also asked for permission to act immediately.

“Yang Mulia take it easy. I, Gao The Alchemist immediately carry out the great command of His Majesty.” This time Gao showed the back of his hand which was painted in a stone line.

In fact, for a moment the line was slightly lit up. Gao had indeed just used magic and his Mana was centered there so there were still traces of magic and elements as a result of his work.

Silent.

Charlotte's look was empty. His eyes that had dimmed since the appointment of his palace were now glaring straight at Gao meaninglessly. He gave neither approval nor rejection, but his heart continued to fret even though a little at the end of it he harbored new hope.

Honestly, in his deepest heart, he screamed as if asking to be released from the black cage that had been imprisoning him. For years, the woman could neither cry nor grieve. In fact, to smile alone is very difficult.

To him, there was no beauty whatsoever in Everfalls. He wanted, Wolestria immediately forget it so that the pain he had experienced in the past was eliminated.

His heart was already frozen and he could no longer loudly shout how imprisoned he was in the black illusion that was restraining him. Charlotte resigned herself and followed the evil whispers that were lingering in her brain.

“Alright, do your job and eliminate those pests without rest!” charlotte orders with her silver eyes that have no more life light.
