CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Silver Gem Rings

A moment ago.

“Varl, where have you been?” ciel asked after Varl got to him in the room. Although with a restless face and always looking back for fear of Ellena following him, Varl still smiled at Ciel and tried to be fine.

“So, have you found it?” Varl is straight to the point.

“Ya.” Without hesitation Ciel nodded. Then, he reached into his pants pocket and took out a ring with a silver jewel. “This ring in question.”

“Hm.” Varl's smile was beautiful. His mind was full of devious plans to complete this extremely arduous mission.

For a moment, Varl stared at the ring with a silver jewel. It looks shiny, what else when faced with the moonlight, the reflection is beautiful and charming.

“This is the ring that Dad kept all his life. I used to take it everywhere, but right now I'm giving it to you, Varl. Because, only you can complete this mission even if by evil ways.”

“Sst.” Varl's index finger immediately landed in front of Ciel's lips. “This is not evil. We just justify all means.” Again, Varl returned with a cunning smile.

Hearing that, Ciel just nodded and accepted whatever Varl would do. Because, all this time the curly-haired man had never disappointed him. Varl is already like Ciel's foster father despite their age difference being so far apart.

Varl stroked Ciel's head as gently as his own. Then, he put the silver-eyed ring on his right middle finger. Seeing the ring coiling up made a happy pop inside his chest.

I want to laugh like a criminal. Yes, you could say he was acting as a criminal. This transaction has been completed and Varl must act immediately.

Sudden.

Brak!

“Varl, have you seen Ellie?” Ruby came by pounding the door of the room while putting on a panicked face. The little girl was already sweating sweat even though Ruby was currently floating with her little wings.

Soon, Varl takes the ring off and keeps it in his magic bag. He hid it from Ruby's eyes as soon as possible.

“E-Ellena?” Varl panicked, because he was surprised not to play when Ruby suddenly came uninvited.

“Yes, I saw Ellena come out of the room. I thought he would be back soon, but until now he has not been to the room anymore.” Ruby's face grew increasingly restless. He did not expect that Ellena left him so quickly.

“Take it easy, Ruby.” Varl tried to win this sudden tense situation. “So I was also suspicious that Ellena was leaving. Because, I had a chance to cross paths with him and he came out suspiciously, what else he wears a blue robe.”

“The cloak that we bought this afternoon in the market?!”

“Yes. I asked him where he was going, he said he wanted to find the wind.” Varl scratched the back of his head that was not itching, he himself did not understand Ellena's intentions either. Want to ask a lot, suddenly Ciel called him.

Hearing that, Ruby flew back and forth, fretting. Sometimes he bites the tip of his nail.

Shortly after, a faint sound of horse neighing and running footsteps approached.

Brak!

Without waiting for a long time, the door suddenly broke again. Ah, what pity that door.

It shows up there Leonie, Hanae, Mae, and also Manu. They're snarling. “E-Ellie... Ellie to Queen Charlotte's palace!” said Mae, Lonie, and Hanae, supported by Manu who neighs and lifts his legs.

“What?!” Meanwhile, Ruby and Varl were stunned together. Both their eyes were wide.

“How is it possible?!” ruby asked in disbelief.

“So I was about to check the horses, but in the stables there was only Manu! I tried to talk to Manu and she said Ellie took Kuro away!” Leonie. He clenched his hand. “How could the boy not say anything?!”

“Compared to it, has Ellena found her way to the palace? Doesn't the portal no longer exist?!” Varl feels weird. On the other hand, he felt worried, his hand repeatedly rubbing the silver jewel ring that was inside his magic bag that was nailed in his pants pocket.

“With wind power.” Suddenly Gao appeared and told him so. Behind him, Steven and Gall followed. “As we know, Miss Ellena is a wind controller. So, maybe he asked them for help. However, the chances are small. Only about twenty percent of the success percentage.”

Gao explained at length with the data he had been collecting. But how did Ellena get there?

“Perhaps as usual, she's relying on a miracle why Ellie can get there.” Hanae began to express her opinion. He knew how Ellena was all along. The argument was approved by Ruby.

Moreover, that little brat who had brought Ellena to Wolestria, already knew how Ellena was. As long as she lived in this kind of fairy tale world, Ellena would always expect miracles, even as much as in the original world even though the possibilities were very small.

However, a boy like Ellena strongly believed in a miracle under human reason. For him, nothing is impossible because he believes in Almighty God.

Silent.

Some moments there was only silence between them. Then, until the time Varl began to take action first.

“We also have a miracle.” Varl began to take out the jewel ring from inside his pocket without hesitation. Seeing the reflection of the ring, Steven glared as did Gao and Gall.

“That's right..”

They try to guess.

“Ya, right. This is his legacy.” Varl returned grinning. He no longer wanted to hide the ring. It's up to people to say what, if Varl can act, then he can complete his mission.

“B-how did you get that?!” Steven glancing. He pointed to the ring. Many questions came to his mind. Steven was very excited about the reality.

Without replying with the beautifully carved and vivid script, Varl simply glanced at Ciel. Steven, Gao, and Gall round their eyes perfectly. They're pecking for a moment.

“Come, Manu. We have to hurry.” Varl walked closer to Manu, ignoring the palace people who were astonished by the reality.

Seeing Varl acting alone, Leonie and the others try to prevent the. “Varl, how about we—”

“I don't need you. Repot if bring a lot of people.” Varl said that without looking at anyone. He continues to step by pulling Manu, taking him to complete the mission.

“Do not forget to bring Ellie back, Varl!” shouted Ruby. However, Varl did not press him.

Seeing Varl's attitude like that, inviting annoyance at Ruby and the others.

“Actually, what makes Varl such an annoyance?! Argh!”

After a while of running with Manu, Varl finds a deserted spot for himself in action. He took out the jewel ring with confidence. Then, he cast a spell, “Evenire!”

Wuses.

Instantly, a white light began to emerge from the gem, surrounding Varl and Manu. Both were confused and in an instant...

The cling!

They arrived at Charlotte's palace. However, the wind around was raging. There must have been a commotion in this place. In that corner, Ellena was cornered in front of Charlotte.

“The boy was too rash!” pissed Varl. Without thinking any more, he darted with Manu, chasing the chance to save Ellena.

Until in the end, the ladies began to charge towards Ellena with various weapons that could defeat Ellena in an instant, but Varl got in the way first with the shield he had stored in the magic bag.

“What are you doing, Stupid?!”
