[POV Gerda.]
"The girl who claimed to be the Witch of Hope, looked so charming with her elegance. The silver hair I believe will bewitch anyone who sees it. His charm increased with his sky blue eyes. Her clothes were like wanting to show off that she was a noble, making me who did not know her—also with my other colleagues—unknowingly have admired her.
"Although that was the case, the girl showed no aura at all of her nobility. He was different from the nobles who became friends— fellow protectors of my kingdom—Novalius and Mellynda. He was also very different from the prince of the neighboring kingdom who was married here, the Klutzie Nebula. But, for some reason, I think I've seen a girl, no, it's not excessive if I feel that I'm not just looking at her. It felt .. I knew the girl very well, but my head was like it was shrouded in a thick fog that would not allow me to peek any further into it....
"The body is not so tiny, nor is it too tall. If she grows up, she will become a beautiful woman who will always be proposed by men in all parts of the country on that basis only. The curves of his body also indicate that someday he will make anyone jealous women see him.
"In front of my eyes right now, when my brother Danny had just saved us from the danger of death, all my first impressions seemed to just collapse. The foundation of my mind that wanted to solidify the impression that he was a 'noble with no mana who only won from appearances', crumbled easily.
"With his speed that looks as if he is a galloping horse that blows away dust, as well as the impact of the blows that land on each of our enemies will surely make anyone who sees him amazed. All of us who were there, Crescent Void, were convinced, that he was not using magic from himself, but from nature. For no matter how strong a Human might be, if the opponent was a Hollow, it would be impossible to make them bounce just because of one simple kick-shot.
"He was truly a noble with his formidable strength. That can no longer be denied. But, why do I like to ever see this reckless way—which seems to show us how strong he—without caring what could happen to the surrounding...?
"When he landed his feet on the ground, the morning sky was still bright, carrying a gust of wind on the silver hair of the Girl, showing two earrings dancing to the wind. He realized that we were all looking at him like fools. However, as soon as he waved his hand coupled with the smile he threw, a fog in my memory suddenly disappeared. My memory soon tells me who the identity of the girl is. He was my first friend, my friend who spent most of his time together, my brother's loved one, and a very important person not only for the kingdom, but for the world.
"Without waiting for a command from my brain, my mouth just moved to call out the girl's name. 'Zeeta...?'
"All the eyes around me were wide open. They can't believe what they just heard. Honestly, I don't trust him either. Without even being told I know. I knew this girl wouldn't be the enemy of the world. His face, his manner of speaking, as well as how he acted had not changed at all from six and a half years ago. But ....
"Once again we are protected by it.... Can we really be nothing without it...?

"No. Fuck all that thought! More importantly, that Cengeng is in front of me! How dare he deceive us by hiding his identity! I'll teach him a lesson!"
......................
"CN ... YOOO!!" Gerda instantly rose up with a gripping aura that felt completely furious.
"Geh—?! Ge-Ge-Gerda?!" Zeeta took a few steps back in surprise.
"DEEZEEAAA!!" Gerda ran as fast as possible to approach her friend this one.

"Basic fool!" Gerda held him very tightly. "What exactly did you plan to do to cover your return and bewitch us all to forget who you are?! Your earrings alone must make anyone understand who your identity is, it's strange that no one knows!
"Say! What do you want to do?!"
Zeeta smiles, then replies to Gerda's embrace. "I'm home, Gerda. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you. Youknow? I thought you were really dead and couldn't be helped anymore.
"Do you know what I was thinking at the time?"
"Don't switch the conversation! Answer me, you bodoooohh!" Gerda shed her tears.
"Simply put, I also want to protect you all! Our main goal is solved! This is my reply to what you achieved six and a half years ago.
"If there were no you, Aurora would no longer exist. So ... relax. I'm with you guys...." Zeeta stroked Gerda's back to calm her down.
"Ught.... I can't believe this! Of all the people why do you have to be the one with the lattice?!" groda complained that increasingly tighten his deck.
"Hahah, what are you saying? Of course it's because I was born three months earlier than you! I am older than you, and I can be more mature than you in various aspects, hihihi!"
Gerda gripped Zeeta's shoulder. He immediately stretched his embrace. "HUH? Did you say?" their gazes met each other, which made them laugh out loud shortly afterwards.
Marcus, Danny, Mellynda, and Colette ran up to the two.
"Tu-Tu-Tuan Princess Zeeta! It's good to see you're home healthy!" marcus said with respect.
"Oh, this isn't the first time we've met. Don't be stiff!" reply Zeeta.
"Get ready, Your Majesty!"
"Oh, Rivalku! I-I didn't expect your strength to be this big! It is undeniable that I am the only one who deserves to be your Rival!" exciting Mellynda.
"I know! Your crystal is so powerful and awesome! You know, if you add it with ice magic, your attacks and defenses can be two-fold!"
Mellynda grins. He was pleased with Zeeta's response. "Whoa! Of course I know that way! Look, I'm your Rival, oh Princess!"
Danny is the one who greets Zeeta next. He cannot look into the eyes of the heart. His own heart could not even give him a glimmer of courage to say hello. His heart was beating as if it wanted to explode. His blood rose to make his face look unique. However, he did not expect. He did not expect the previously small body, which even he had to always hold for the sake of being protected, now felt rough. On the one hand he is proud, on the other hand he is concerned about him. He is the Princess, it doesn't have to be like this.
Zeeta then holds Danny tightly, just as he holds his sister. "Thank you for protecting me .. thank you for protecting the kingdom .. thank you for protecting Gerda .. and thank you for staying alive, Danny!" zeeta's words allow Danny to ignite the flame of courage.
Danny replied to his heart, then said, "Sure. You guys are a treasure to me anyway."
Zeeta smiled hearing that.
"Tu-Mr Princess...?" Colette is the last person to greet Zeeta. "Actually .. anu...." Colette hesitates to say what's on her mind.
"Ah, of course. I love how you flatter me. I'm still losing to the Fiancee, but that's the power of love! More importantly, I don't like any stiffness when we talk!
"We are partners who from now on will always spend time together. Bitter, sweet, and much more. I'd be very grateful if you accepted me as a friend, Colette!" Zeeta puts her right hand. Colette smiled then shook her hand with excitement.
"Ah, I almost forgot," said Zeeta, "uhm. You've been able to get up, you know, Mr. Novalius de Dormant XVIII! Why did you linger in the grass while I healed you in the first place?"
"Eh?" the five members were surprised.
Novalius wakes up with a small leap. He rested with his feet to get up. "So, I didn't get the time to show up. The atmosphere was so good for me to spoil!" Novalius was in the party.
"Eh? Since when...?" Gerda wonders when Zeeta healed Novalius' wounds.
"Ah? That it? Hmmm..well, let's just say it has something to do with the results of my training. More importantly, it's time for me to show the enemy that the worried Zeeta doesn't exist anymore!"

[POV Gerda.]
"At that time, Zeeta smiled with great confidence. He seemed to want to affirm to his friends and people, that he who was predicted by the Fairy Queen, would not be present to realize his existence. Zeeta in the prophecy, is Zeeta walking on the path full of 'rose' which is not only from the 'hope' of his kingdom, also the 'destiny' given by the world. He lived all his days in solitude, with no one able to understand the screams of his heart that no longer wanted to deal with this cruel world of magic.
"Zeeta in front of me, this is the theme—my most precious friend. Whatever happens in the future, we have promised to protect each other until all these problems are resolved."
