Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Nebula Kingdom 3/3
Klutzie was waiting for Zeeta on a chair near the fountain where the town square was centered. Siren decided to wait for Zeeta with his Spirit form (read: mini form) and perched in the pocket of his Yggdrasil Seed shirt. They had been there for nearly fifteen minutes until Zeeta finally showed her nose when the sun was about to reach a height above the human head. They were astonished by Zeeta who was carrying two brooms. Let alone the Prince and the Spirit of Yggdrasil, his people who are on the move as usual until just sculpting.
"Let's go!" Zeeta immediately pulled Klutzie's hand and quickly ran.
"ah! He-hey wait! No need to pull, I can run alone!" Klutzie brushed off Zeeta's hand.
"Ahahah, uhm, okay. Well, now, let's go to the east gate!" Zeeta leads the way with her run.
"Ehh? Why should I run in this stinging heat...?" inevitably, Klutzie chases after Zeeta despite having to shunt.

Then, after they reached the east gate, Zeeta met eye to eye with the gatekeepers. He showed them a piece of paper with Alicia's autographed message. "Mr Princess... You.." said the two guards.
"Uhm. I might not be home again for a while. I feel bad for you guys for adding festival time to me, but I'm leaving like this, but...."
The two guards stared at each other and saluted. "Your words are too humble, Princess!"
"We are aware of your actions for the safety of the world, so at least we can make the Aurora as your comfortable place to go home" said A.
"We also pray that you are always okay!" connect guard B.
Zeeta smile. "thank you. But I don't want people to know I'm leaving first. They'll be notified by the Queen or the Grand Duchess, but once I get out of here with Prince Nebula, I want you to keep this a secret."
The two guards smiled. "Okay, Princess!"
Then after that, clasping two brooms in both hands and posing upright, the serious-faced Zeeta faces the rivers and mountains that separate the Aurora from the Nebula, the distance if taken by foot takes two months, two weeks of vehicle, and air for two days.
"Hey, do you know how far the Nebula is from the Aurora?" ask Klutzie.
"Of course not, I've never been there, you idiot" Zeeta replied.
"Then why—"
"But I can estimate it. Luna, are you sure I should do it?"
Klutzie could not find where Luna was. He looked for it in all corners of the eye.
"Yes. Instead of flying magic that will drain your mana, it is better to use an intermediate tool, ", replied Luna. Klutzie finds Luna encircling herself with her twin tails on top of Zeeta's witch hat. "Accounting from the distance, those two days can be short to two hours, or even just a few tens of minutes. You're capable, aren't you?"
Klutzie grinning. "of course! I want sege—"
"No, we mustn't hurry, Prince. I'll explain it later when we're flying."
Seeing Zeeta's expression, Klutzie's grin dimmed just like that. "You serious? Worst-case scenario?"
"...." - ".Zeeta is silent, but Klutzie knows what he means.
"alright. I'll hear it." Klutzie took a broom from Zeeta's right hand and flowed it with mana. "Come on, don't waste any more time." Klutzie flew first by riding his broom with both feet.
Zeeta catches up with Klutzie by riding a broom after bewitching her to fly, then drives her while sitting down.
......................
Zeeta and Klutzie had flown away from Aurora about fifty kilometers away. They alighted on a tree trunk and took shelter from the sun while talking about what Zeeta had told Ashley. Klutzie and Siren stared at Zeeta in disbelief.
"Why are you even challenging their lure and endangering your life so far?!" klutzie asked, "you have your own home, you have no responsibility whatsoever for what happened to me, regardless of your identity and your strength!"
"Yes, this is not my responsibility" Zeetq replied, "but there is someone waiting for me. I can't stay in Aurora without making sure of her.
"Suppose my purpose is overlapping with the fate of your kingdom.
"Over....
"I'm sure there are many souls waiting for you to come. I'll be a support to you and then after that we'll make sure about Yggdrasil's location is right or wrong."
Siren and Klutzie surrender. They could only receive an extra hand from Zeeta and Luna.
"This is also a good opportunity for you to get to know more about the magical world you live in and to decide on that" Luna added.
While Klutzie and Siren did not understand what they were talking about, the four decided to continue on their journey again.
......................
Meanwhile in Aurora, Ashley decides not to be silent about what Zeeta has told her. He rushed to Alicia and told her everything she had told him. He could not allow this one disciple to be in such danger and threaten his life alone.
"Ashley, immediately take down the three Crescent Voids to catch up with Zeeta, right now!" hazell's orders while Alicia is being shaken by the facts she hears. He ordered it while standing.
"Prepare to do it, Your Majesty!" squeal Ashley. He uses a magic communication tool that is also used Crescent Void attached to his left ear. Once connected, he orders Gerda, Danny, and Marcus to assemble at the east gate. Then, he immediately teleported there.
"I can't believe this...." Hazell sat down again. He gripped the handle of his throne chair. "Why does he want everything to be solved on its own...?"
Alicia calmed herself down by adjusting her breathing. He sipped a glass of water at the table to his right with fruit. Now, he could smoothly think of the reason why Zeeta was silent on them, not only as a parent, but also as a Queen and King. "No, honey, that's not what Zeeta really meant" he said, "he left the Crescent Void because he felt THERE WOULD be a threat as great as the one he wanted to face in Nebula.
"He received the enemy's lure deliberately to keep the danger even greater for Aurora. He knew this couldn't be done on his own, so he decided this."
"But why is he hiding this from us?"
"Maybe, your reaction is what she wants to avoid. He didn't want to cause panic once he got home from his training."
"Ti. can't be...."
"But... What will threaten Aurora next...? Is it true that the enemy lured Zeeta just to get something on the underground floor?" muttered Alicia.
Then suddenly, the sound of panicked cries and booms from the Eastern Region echoed up to the palace. The sound of screaming spread to the average person, causing an uncontrollable panic.
"What's going on?!" jeremy Hazell. He immediately approached the window.
Then, a soldier broke down the door with a condition seriously injured. He was helped to stand by two soldiers standing guard from outside the door.
"La-lapor, Your Highness! There's an enemy attack!"
"Tell me!" alicia's orders were to immediately walk from her seat of the throne.
"Di-he....
"He was blocking the Crescent Void who was about to leave with the Grand Duchess' orders....
"Three Crescent Voids just crashed....
"I-I'm not sure what I saw, but-but he's like using black smoke to attack us!"
"Did he tell me his name?"
"So-about that...
"I heard from the reaction of the Crescent Voids, he....

"HE IS PRINCESS AZURE!"
Hazell and Alicia are wide-eyed. Even so, Alicia could still control her emotions. He made a bed with his magic. "Put him there, I'll cure him. The two of you immediately tell Albert to open the Cremlyn Labyrinth and have the main noble guard it. Whatever happens, don't leave the people without a very urgent reason!"
"Well, Your Majesty!" as soon as the two soldiers put the wounded soldier to sleep, they quickly ran to carry out the Queen's orders.
......................
"Don't joke.... Why are you doing this, Brother Azure...?" Gerda limped after slamming into the wall.
"What happened to you until you were like this... Brother Azure...?" Danny tried to get up after being hit by the ruins of the wall.
They saw Azure's new figure after six and a half years. Her slightly paled blue eyes and the color of her face that did not say that she was in a state of fine, were, even with his fancy black clothes with a blue flower ribbon over his left ear.
The two brothers did not get a word from him.
"Say something, Brother Azure!!"
