The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 27 - MERLIN RETURNS

“ SALUTE TO THE GENERAL AND THE FORTRESS SQUAD!!!” all Eldr in unison saluted.

The troops threw eyes at each other, not believing what he saw. They also looked towards Merlin. The innocent girl who had been well known by them turned out to be the incarnation of the demon leader.

Slowly the horn on Merlin's forehead shrank and disappeared, the large wings behind his back as well as shrinking and disappearing, leaving a tear mark on Merlin's back shirt.

Merlin's eyes that had been red, had slowly turned back blue and beautiful.

Merlin lowered his gaze in front of the General. He felt ashamed of himself who was a demon.

“ General, are you afraid of me?” asked Merlin in a voice that was as good as ever.

“ A-aku.aku..” The general sighed, as if still confused by what to say.

Merlin was suddenly hugged by the General, his hand stroking Merlin's head gently.

“ I'm not afraid of any of your true forms. You're still the Merlin I know”

Some of the troops there were relieved to see Merlin back and did not believe that the Merlin they knew plain and innocent turned out to be the leader of the terrible creatures.

They went back into the fort. While Eldr's troops were scattered flying over the fortress, they were like seagulls flying around in the waters.

Inside the hall, Merlin recounts all the events in the Hazmut kingdom and how he was able to change form and become the leader of Eldr's army .

Merlin himself was not aware of it before, only after he changed did he realize and his memory said that he was the leader of the monstrous creatures.

“ True to my guess, that jerk Zaimon who has kidnapped you” General looks furious, either angry with the behavior of the prince or jealous.

“ Already sir, the important thing is that I have returned” Merlin tried to calm the General.

“ Miss, what do you feel when you change?” Dude asked seriously, until he advanced his body to listen to Merlin.

“ I've gotten a little forgot about the real me, and I think it's become a lot stronger, bolder and.-”

“ Can you change as you wish miss?”…Bugerd directly chimed

“ How your wings can grow.” another man interrupts.

“ I want to hold your wings, it seems soft” connect the others.

“ Do your troops sleep during the day miss?”…Ask others too..

Several men crowded around Merlin, scrambling to ask as if journalists were asking each other.

The general just stood leaning against the wall, looking from behind them while shaking his head and folding his hands on his chest.

Six months later,

AT Drake Fortress, a man entered the hall room in a hurry. There sat the general and some of his friends.

“ General, I found this..” He showed a sparkling diamond, in which it was pink, bright and beautiful.

“ What's the difference between this diamond and another?” The clueless general frowned while holding the still-boulder-shaped diamond in his hand.

“ This is the most expensive diamond ever General.” the spirit man explained.

Drake's downtown diamond and jewelry stores are growing in popularity, one of which is due to the news of the pink diamonds most sought after by nobles, but many could not buy because the price was very expensive, so the General planned to make an auction event held in the city center.

In the center of the city, the Hazmut kingdom.

A beautiful brown-haired lady, in a luxurious dark purple dress opened the door of a magnificent horse carriage. A bodyguard held the woman's hand to get off her carriage.

The woman entered the jewelry shop of Fort Drake. He looked around at the jewels, and asked about the pink diamonds.

“ Sorry madam, for a while pink diamonds are just for order, we only have a few examples that have become jewelry, but we do not sell here, if the mistress is interested we will hold a jewelry auction, we will, including pink diamonds will be the main event of the mistress, you can come at the auction center next week” the shopkeeper explained to the noble-looking woman earlier.

“ Alright I will come to the auction event “

Outside Drake's castle.

The general and some of his associates plan to visit the Riguaria kingdom, to find the rest of the General's army that has come out of the kingdom of Nerogon.

The general is making plans to gather as many troops as possible to join the fort.

The general left with only Leon and Ziggo, they only used two horses. As they prepare for his departure…

“ Mr General, can I come with you?” from behind the female voice made the General, Leon, Ziggo and several men turn their heads.

“ Oris?” The general was a little surprised. “Why do you want to come?”

“ I understand a little about the area there sir.maybe it can be useful” Oris the cute blonde girl explained.

“ But we will make a long journey, are you sure you want to come with us?”

“ No problem sir, I'm used to the tiring journey”

The general turned towards his friends, as if agreeing, finally the General allowed him to come along on their way.

The man turned his head towards Merlin as well, but Merlin's face was cold and there was not the slightest smile.

The general said goodbye to Merlin, he left Merlin to his trusted friends.

“ My feeling is like it's not good you brought Mr. Oris.” Merlin said slowly to the General.

But the general just smiled a little, and stroked Merlin's hair..

“ You're just jealous of Merlin.., I went” General then took the preparation he had put down, then took it to the horse.

The four of them will ride two horses, one horse for two.

“ Good Leon you tagged along.” unfinished General spoke Oris riding a horse ridden General, spontaneous General turned back.

“ Oris, why are you here? you ride with Ziggo.” The general frowned.

“ But I'm already here sir.” Oris, regardless of what the general said, smiled casually, The general only sighed. They finally went to the kingdom of Riguaria.
