THE DESTINY OF THE SUN AND THE MOON
CHAPTER 54-CAN I HOPE?

In the morning, I trained with the swords of Prince Blaze and Arthur. As usual, I warmed up and ran for thirty rounds while Prince Blaze and Arthur were already training against each other.

Finished running, I watched the two of them closely. It is also an exercise to remember every movement made by both of them.

"So, how do you think you practice a match between the two of them?" Duke Allison asked suddenly.

"They're both equally great" I answered and began to explain my analysis, "But this time Arthur is superior to Brother Blaze. His movements are more agile and also he looks more focused when compared to Brother Blaze"

Duke Allison nodded, "Things. This time it seemed like something was troubling in Prince Blaze's mind so he wasn't as focused as usual"

Duke Allison approached Prince Blaze and Arthur and told them to stop training.

"Prince Blaze, now you are going against me" said Duke Allison who was so sudden that it made Prince Blaze shocked so surprised.

"Huh?! But--"

"There's no buts! How many times have you lost your concentration since then when there were some good opportunities to be superior to Arthur, but you wasted all that" said Duke Allison who immediately cut off Prince Blaze's speech.

Before Prince Blaze protested, Duke Allison quickly grabbed hold of the collar of the shirt worn by Prince Blaze and dragged him straight to the corner across the sword practice.

"Tu--- Duke!!! VIVI!!!! YOUR BROTHER WAS KIDNAPPED!!!!" Shouted Prince Blaze who immediately whined because he did not want to practice direct sparring with Duke Allison.

Well.... I understand how cruel Duke Allison was when she practiced fighting with him. I almost fainted so tired.

I smiled as I waved at Prince Blaze. Sorry, I can't help you with Duke Allison.

Arthur then walked up to me and sat down beside me.

Silent....

Ughhh.... It feels so awkward.... Both Arthur and I were both silent even though we were sitting next to each other, there was a distance of about thirty cm between us.

"Yes... You were great today, Arthur...." I said to remove this awkward feeling between us.

"Ah, yes.... Thank you" Reply Arthur.

Silent lag....

Ughhh.... This really feels awkward....

"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but are you explaining that you're really thinking as experienced by Blaze?" Arthur asked suddenly and made me a little surprised.

L'm... A lot of thoughts yes.... Maybe yes, I still think about Mom and also 'my plan.

"Yes... Little maybe..." Answer me in a doubtful tone.

Arthur then looked straight at me and made me gasp in surprise. His jet-black eyes looked at me straight but in the end he smiled faintly.

DEG!

My heart started beating fast, what is this? Why when you see Arthur's smile it immediately makes my heart beat fast huh....

Wait--stay Vivi! Don't think of anything else that doesn't really matter about your own feelings because.... I have people I have to protect to the end that are Mom and Diana.

"It's okay, Arthur... It's not something that doesn't matter" my elak.

Arthur then sighed, "If I may be honest.... You keep too much of something in your heart and can't convey it well huh...."

I looked in shock at Arthur. Wait--when did he notice me? All this time I know he was always with Prince Blaze only and tended to look so indifferent to the circumstances around. I knew he was a good person, but I didn't expect him to notice me like this either.

"I'm..."

"You're similar to Blaze, but also very different. Blaze who is very thin-cleplos revealed his heart but if it is a matter that concerns about his family, he always hid it tightly. While you, too much keep everything you feel in your heart but do nothing to get rid of all that and keep distorting it in your heart" continued Arthur again and made me speechless.

I should have been offended by Arthur's words that clearly violated my privacy, but I couldn't deny all of his words either because they were true. That's because I don't have someone to tell anyone about the reality of what I know in the future.

"Everybody has secrets, right?" I asked with a serious look towards him.

Arthur nodded, "Right. But for your case it seems you are even burdened with your secret"

I was silent for a long time.

"What's.... Do you think it would be good to avenge someone who hurt us?" I asked slowly in the end.

It's just free to cover something from Arthur. He seemed to be someone who had extremely great Observation abilities. It was only fitting that in the future he would also become one of the best knights the Empire had ever possessed.

"Yes... I think you should avenge them. But don't do the same thing the way they hurt us" Arthur replied.

I'm speechless. I had no intention of taking revenge on Emira like what she had done in the past. I just want to live free from this palace and also be able to save Mother and Diana from the tragic events that will befall them in the future. I don't care about the Emperor or my three Big Brother.... Later....

Instantly, the sweet memories of my three brothers came to my mind. They're... Do I really not care about them?

Wait-Bella uses dark magic on Prince Helios and makes Prince Helios who is affected by darkness magic as if obeying the orders of Bella and Duke Cut. Even Prince Helios was intending to commit treason and would also kill Crown Prince Castor who was his elder brother?

Did Emira really use black magic on the Emperor and my three brothers? If you think about it is quite strange because their changes are very sudden and also unnatural.

Gee whiz.... Why didn't I think of such a thing from the beginning. It could be that I have to protect them also on the dark magic as well right? Although Prince Blaze is a person who is blessed by the Sun God, still there is still the possibility of being affected by dark magic as well especially in the previous life Prince Blaze is not a person who is blessed by the Sun God as now....

And here Arthur is, he's also been neutralizing dark magic. Maybe I can ask for his help.

"Arthurian... Are you saying teach me even more powerful light magic in order to neutralize the dark magic. And also, can you explain to me in detail about the dark magic? I asked Arthur in the end while looking at him with a serious look.

Can I hope that the Emperor and my three Elders were indeed affected by the dark magic back then and that they actually loved me from the bottom of their hearts to me?
