In the depths of the ruins with a torch-clad lighting, the figures of Lucy and Azure are seen. Lucy doesn't look like she's aging. He was exactly like him six and a half years ago. While Azure....
"What's wrong with you?" ask Lucy. He grinned as he sat folding his legs on a wall of rubble. "Aren't you happy with your sister's return?"
Azure speechless.
"I wouldn't do anything if you wanted to see him now. Ah, but I kept my word six and a half years ago....
"If we will destroy the world. That must have been done!" his grin reflected the intent from deep within his heart.
Azure leaves Lucy. Her pale body and luminous look did not even bother Lucy. Her long black-and-blue-colored hair was unraveling from her, as well as dark blue eyes, plus a set of black dresses and a large ribbon of flower-shaped hair pitched the same as her eyes, adding to the impression that he seemed to care about nothing.
What the hell happened to him?
Upon seeing Azure disappear from his sight, Lucy muttered, "I didn't even suspect it. He could use runes, also controlling the Catastrophe Seal within this short enough period of time.
"If the memory of these earrings is correct, changing each form of holy weapon requires great control, because if it fails to control it, it is able to destroy hundreds of kilometers from where it stands....
"I don't know what to call you a genius or a monster, fufufu...."
......................
On the way home to Zeeta with the Crescent Void, they were about to reach the gate. "Aah.. occasionally walk home without using magic quite good as well, yes," said Zeeta, "every day I always just clean this, clean it. Do you understand?"
Gerda forced her smile. "You-maybe we don't use magic as often as you do, but at least I understand what you're feeling...."
"Haaah~ what a pity. Oh yeah, Marcus, Colette, Novalius, you've never tried my cooking, have you?"
"E-uh?" Colette and Novalius flinched. "A-You're cooking, Your Highness...?" connect both.
"Uhm!
"Oh, you know what, Gerda? Apparently, Elf cuisine is no less interesting, you know! The recipes are also not too different from what we usually do—
"Ah, later after I face my mother, be my guest. You're also. I want to hear your stories."
"Well, okay" Colette replied.
"I hope the festival can still be dilan—" when they get to the gate, Zeeta opens it. As soon as it was opened, the noise of the people of Aurora broke out with the confetti firecrackers to their surprise.
"WELCOME BACK, PRINCESS ZEETA!"
"WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!"
Zeeta replied to this commotion with a smile. He didn't expect it but he knew who planned it. He also saw a touched accessories merchant woman, namely Sienna. Zeeta heard Sienna say, "I didn't expect this! Princess Zeeta even asked me to speak as if I were her old friend! I really don't deserve to have spoken to him!"
Zeeta chuckled, then waved her hand while shouting, "Auntie! If there's time, I'll stop by again!" Zeeta threw a five-finger smile. The men, no, even the women around Sienna, were stunned with her smile.
"Yeah! Princess Zeeta is so beautiful!" scream at the women around him.
"Damn it, she is the Princess of the Kingdom! We can't have a chance!" whispered the men.
"You guys!" snapped Sienna, "keep your manners, you selfless brat!"
Zeeta left them while continuing to wave her hand. He continued to greet all the people as he could while continuing to advance to the palace. Surely, even Gerda or Danny, never thought Zeeta would be like this. As far as they understand about this friend of hers, Zeeta will be greatly burdened with her who is the Princess of the kingdom.
"You surprised?" ask Zeeta, who is soon to reach the palace.
"Hahaha, can you guess it?" ask Danny.
"Uhm. I don't even suspect it either."
"What do you mean?" ask Gerda.
"There is one Elf in my training, he greatly admires my figure who is the Princess. For the first time in my life, I felt I had to be truly worthy of my people's eyes. Because in addition to making me respected, I became aware that my behavior as the Princess, would be someone's role model.
"Like me who wants to imitate my mother, and that Elf who admires me."
Gerda and Danny smiled. "That's it, huh?" danny said, "then I admire you because you haven't changed since we were kids."
"He's right" said Gerda, "you don't even complain much about who you are. I'm impressed with you too."
Zeeta blushed red until it spread to her ears. "He-stop! I-I'm telling you this not out of thirst for praise! Fuck up!" Zeeta walks in a hurry, trying to escape from both.
Danny, who saw this, was stunned and his heart accidentally came out, "Crazy, he's so cute!"
Gerda immediately looked at her brother in disgust. "I told you how many times, you idiot?! This is what's disgusting about you!" Gerda "punished" her brother's actions that she thought were inappropriate.
"He's completely different to Prince Klutzie, yes" Colette said.
"really. Me or Nova was even astonished," replied Mellynda.
"No, we should be grateful. Because it is our all-round decision, which presents the Princess we are witnessing right now" Novalius said.
Marcus, Colette, and Mellynda nodded. "You're right" Marcus said, "really, who would have thought the eight-year-old I saw was so frightened by her status as Princess, now even proudly carry that status across the country."

"...." - ".Alicia was unable to say a word. Slowly, he was showering his cheeks.
"Ra-Queen?!" Crescent Void and the main noble were shocked.
"Mother..," inner Zeeta. He wanted to embrace the mother he had long missed.
Hazell who understands the situation replaces his wife. "Welcome back, my daughter Zeeta. Me and the Queen are also grateful that you came home safe, Crescent Void."
"Your words are too kind to us, Your Majesty!" reply Crescent Void simultaneously with a loud voice.
Zeeta gave a serious expression again, aware of his current position. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I, Zeeta Aurora XXI, have completed my training and am ready to face my destiny!" he uttered it while bending his knees and placing his left hand on his left chest, the same Crescent Void did.
Hearing this resolute Zeeta remark, made the main nobles, especially Ashley flinch. He thought the boy was an adult, in his mind.
"I accept your heart clearly, my daughter. Now, you might know, the Evergreen festival can still go on. Do you still want to enjoy it, as your welcoming party?"
Zeeta was silent for a moment. "I'm glad to accept your offer, Your Majesty."
"All right...." Hazell took a deep breath. He then stood up and shook his king's robe. "Oh our brave people and pride! We have all felt the ups and downs of Aurora, as did the falling wake of Zeeta, the hero of this kingdom!
"To once again, unbeknownst to us, Zeeta has saved us from the ever-present threat of Aurora! As a people, including me, I want to make my beloved Princess— my beloved son smile!
"Listen, my people! This month, the Evergreen festival is extended by three days! Enjoy your fun time, because you know what's waiting for us!"
.

"YESY!!" screams of spirit from the people were heard all the way into the palace.
"LIVE PRINCESS ZEETA!
"LIVE KING HAZELL!
"LIVE QUEEN ALICIAAA!!"
......................
Fifteen minutes after that, the atmosphere of the kingdom became calm yet bustling. The zealous uproar of the people is not heard, but it is the laughter of the people that is now heard.
Zeeta, on the other hand, is given time alone with her family. The three of them hugged each other and dropped tears.
"What's with that hair...? Isn't this...?" Alicia is unable to accept the fact that Zeeta's hair is the same as Luna's story about Zeeta the Dark Lord.
"Mother just relax! Trust me if I am still me! I still have you, and I still have my colleagues. Because I was determined not to end my destiny like that prophecy!"
"Of course I believe! But ... but...."
"Zeeta," call Hazell. Zeeta looks at her father. "Remember. Whatever happens, you're not alone. If....
"If....
"If our worst-case scenario can't protect you, don't forget that you're—"
"Uhm! I knew! Witch Hope!"
Hazell smiles. He dropped his tears once again. "You really are my daughter I love so much! I wish we could spend more time for you!"
"I'm fine. I'm not going to be as bland as I used to be. Mom, Dad, I know it's sudden and I just got home to see you guys.... I also really want to spend time together, but...."
Hazell and Alicia wait for the hesitant Zeeta to speak her heart out.

"I have to go to Nebula kingdom."
......................
Azure justifies the position of her wind-blown side hair by hooking it to the right ear. He was on a stretch of hill that allowed him to see the kingdom of Aurora.
"I have to see Zeeta immediately.. otherwise ..." he murmured. He then disappeared through his purplish black portal magic.
