Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Towards the Next Round
Edward was excited about the mission his mother had given him. Together with that spirit, accompanied by the high expectations he had obtained from the mantle of Grimmur given Zeeta, made him not think of any consequences anymore. It was inevitable, as he was only an eleven year old child. This also happened to her twin, Ella. He also wanted to finish what he had been entrusted with. In addition, he also believes that he and his twin are indeed able to complete it. And now, both of them had reached the point that had been marked. The points are far from the settlement and not easily reached without magic—a hill with extreme roads.
"I just take out my mana, then everything is done..," said Ella, whose spirit was stirring.
"When we get out of nowhere, mama says all these disasters will be gone. If we could do something that big, Zeeta would...." Edward imagined the shocked face of Zeeta half-dead, then the grandfather who stroked them was proud of their head. "Surely so!"
Just as they were about to eject mana, in a different place simultaneously, Agatha and Lowen stopped them. Agatha to Ella, Lowen to Edward.
"What do you think you're doing, Edward?" ask Lowen.
"Stop that action of yours, Ella, if you don't want to regret it" Agatha said.
"Eh?!" the two turned around, surprised by their arrival.
......................
"Papa, why is Papa here? Isn't Papa in an important meeting?" ask Edward.
"More important than that, stay away from the magic circle. Papa strongly doesn't suggest you approach him."
"Eh, why? If this can save the kingdom, then...."
"Oh? So you want to tell me you and Ella have been strong enough to protect the kingdom?"
"of course! Sister Zeeta gave me this coat, so she will definitely admit me if—"
"Don't be naive, my son!" lowen snapped, to Edward's surprise. "Kids like yourself shouldn't handle this kind of thing. Those who have had their duties and obligations to this kingdom should not be taken one eye! You are a Levant, moreover you are a royal nobleman who must know the potential of your own people!
"Do you not believe in the abilities of your own people, Edward Levant?!"
His father's words made Edward feel electrocuted somewhere in his heart.
"But... Mama said...."
"What can I do, events are already like this..," Lowen murmured, "I have a task no less important— no, this is the thing to know as the Levant. A secret you can't tell others."
"Concealed?!"
"This too must not be known by Zeeta."
"Mmh?!" Edward was lured by that. "Is it true that I shouldn't do what my mom says?"
"Yes. Papa will explain it to my mother later. Now, let's go home, Ed."
"Gnnn.... Alright. I'll obey, because I'm a good Levant!"
"Your! Wise decision!"
"Thank God, this way he doesn't have to lose his magic.... Now, trouble... Ella...."
......................
"Keep away from there, Ella!" agatha's orders.
"No! This is an important task that my mother gave me! I have to finish it!" whine Ella, "must! Anyway!"
"Oh.... So you'd rather this than listen to Grandma, huh?" Agatha piqued her left palm.
"But-but.mom...." There was a cry in Ella's eyes.
"Hurry up, before this drifts!"
Ella puffed her cheeks while still wanting to shed her tears. Inevitably, he had to obey his grandmother rather than accept the thing he hated.
Agatha shook her head. He then squatted down and wiped his grandson's tears. He then said, "Little kids like you should wait for adults to come home. If you keep doing what you want to do, without your own experience, whatever the reason, if you don't come home safe, who will be sad?"
"Lad...."
"Then?"
"Grandmother, grandpa.mama too...."
"Not only them, but your cousin brother, the King and Queen will be sad. Your mama is not wrong, but there are other tasks that are more suitable for you and Edward to do."
"REally...?"
"of course! So, let's go home!"
"Haaahs.... If only Lowen hadn't told me. his prevention would have been too late.... Thank goodness," inward Agatha. He then uses his flying saucer magic while holding Ella.
......................
When Agatha and Lowen pick Edward and Ella up, Claudia finds Karim lying under the covers. There was no strangeness other than Claudia who could not feel mana from it, to make him wonder for himself.
"What happened to Dad...?" claudia's inner self, "does this have anything to do with Lowen being mad at me...?"
Moments later, Lowen returned with his children and Agatha. As soon as they entered the living room area, Lowen immediately ordered the Twins with, "Please wait for Papa in the backyard. Papa wants to talk to Mama first. Save your mana, don't use it recklessly. Understood?"
"Uhm, all right, Papa." Both are without question.
"Darling, what's the matter...?" ask Claudia. He came to the living room.
"More importantly, are you sure you're going to tell them, Lowen?" ask Agatha.
"Yes, I'm sure. If my guess is correct, Zeeta knows something about the Grimmur, which we cannot explain. Therefore, we also cannot continue to remain silent about this power from them. Enough me and Hazell's brother to carry this curse, the decision after that let them take it."
Agatha closed her eyes. "alright. I agree."
"Yes, thank you, Mom.
"For you, Chloe...."
Lowen then told me about what happened to Karim.

"Ordinary humans?! Is that possible...?!" Claudia whispered, not wanting to be heard by her children.
"Yes. It has something to do with what I'm gonna tell the kids."
"That means ... You're going to make them have to choose between continuing down the path of life under the power of the sun, or being free to be ordinary people, right?"
"so." Lowen nodded.
"Will there be any effects that follow him...?
"....
"No. No need to answer.... I'm aware of it."
"alright. I'll go first." Before long, the thunderstorms that were messing with the kingdom disappeared, with the sky slowly being greeted by the full moon, which was certainly welcomed by the Crescent Void, the royal army, and the main noble and his soldiers.

[In the meantime, somewhere else, precisely in the Nebula.].
Azure had spoken at length about how he could be here, as well as about the reason. He also leaked about Asteria the Servant.
"That's it...." Zeeta recovers Rune from Ashley and Luna. "Then my next destination is confirmed. But before that, I have to finish my business with Lucy...."
"But he's no longer here. Not even a trace of where it was felt anymore" Azure replied.
"I knew. And that's not our focus right now. For now, we have to finish Klutzie's favor until it's over. I've heard the situation there from my Elf colleague." Zeeda flicked his right earring. He then stretched his body.
"Oh yeah, does this mean you're coming back to us? Anticlimactically like this? Though my motivation for training is to save you.", said Zeeta when he relaxes his body.
"What can I do. He wanted me to do something to you before, but since you already knew about a figure that could forcefully turn a magical being into a Hollow, I was released just like that."
"Well, since he knew I wouldn't just die in this place, maybe he was relaxing and laughing madly while enjoying this spectacle of entertainment for him."
"So.. You already know...?"
"Yes. And I got my answer to his invitation six and a half years ago.
"Sir Azure, there's a lot I want to talk to you about, but please take the two to safety first. I want you to know, what we're dealing with right now, after being coincidentally met by Lucy."
Azure just stared silently at his sister. "alright. I get it."
