[Kingdom of Aurora, by night.].
In the presence of her subjects, Alicia and Hazell, as Queen and King of the Twentieth Aurora, spoke side by side. Indeed, as usual the sight of the Queen and King like this when giving direct direction for the people, he said, but the alarm that reads—which signals the arrival of the enemy—as well as the voice of Alicia who ordered her people to be on standby without worrying, makes this atmosphere different.
To ease the direction, Alicia and Hazell also used projection magic that allowed them to appear as holograms at various points in the People's Territories.
“Oh, my Aurora people whom I love!” alicia exclaimed with her floor.
The citizens of Aurora watched his hologram intently.
“There's only one reason I'm amplifying this voice throughout the kingdom....
"Aurora. Aurora's enemy this time really threatens the existence of this world itself and is different from what we used to face before. No need to cover up, their identity is a Hollow army consisting of various kinds of magic creatures and Phantasmal.
“Unfortunately this time, we who have always depended on the strength of my daughter, cannot be present with us. The only thing we can count on is the Crescent Void returning from its mission, Marcus, Novalius, and Colette, because as you know, as you know, Hollows cannot vanish if they are not destroyed with holy weapons forged with the power of the Spirit of Yggdrasil.
“However, you should also know that from this approaching Hollow army, there are some Giant and Dragon. The situation is not very favorable to us.
“For that reason, my Aurora people. I'm giving you a choice.
“I, Queen Alicia Aurora XX—“
“And I, King Hazell Aurora XX—“
Hazell and Alicia together insist, “Together with our subordinates who are still in this kingdom, the main nobles are Ashley Alexandrita XX, Count Zacht de Dormant XVII, Count Rey Emeria, and others, and Marchioness Hellenia von Cloxzar IX, not to forget also the Crescent Void, as well as the magical creatures that have been allied with us, namely Elves, Giants, and
The dragons....
“WE WILL PROTECT AURORA!"
.
.
.
.
Alicia continued her speech. “Again I say, I will give you a choice, my Aurora people. For those of you who do not want to remain silent while Aurora is threatened with this danger, so be our strength!
“But for those of you who prefer to withdraw, I will not blame you—for backing out includes our strategy to win. Promise me one thing. Live without blaming yourself after that!
“Well, no more time, move according to your heart!”
.
.
.
.
Giving her longest speech after such a long time, Alicia gasped for air. Hazell asked, “What's wrong?” while holding his shoulder.
His wife answered him with a smile and a nod.
Before long, all the names called Alicia came on his second side. Nothing is so surprising because people know who the name is, but....
Banging.
They all felt the clanking getting closer and closer. Anyone who has heard the Queen's direction, is anxious that the bang came from the enemy.
In addition, they also heard a thick flap of wings coming from two different directions. As usual, the kingdom protected with a transparent dome coupled with the power of the Rune of Ozy, still exists as it should. However, in harmony with the previous thumping feeling, they were also made anxious.
“QUEEN ALICIA!” screams from a crowd of people. His projection magic changed the target into him. “If these gutsy people do prefer to retreat after the years we live, let it go! But, I don't want a village where my daughter— doesn't... Princess Zeeta grew up—desa Lazuli, devastated by this enemy!
“Whoever is the enemy, even if I lose strong, I will fight him!”
There was no need to ask who could be that brave to shout his thoughts. Yep. He is Arthur.
“Count us in, Your Majesty!” a couple walked over to Arthur's side. They are Recko and Grilda.
“We are also definitely coming!” another Lazuli villager followed the three from behind.
Then one by one, becoming group by group, began to be willing to fight the approaching Hollow army. Quite a number decided to become Aurora's power, to the point that a smile was sewn on Alicia.
“We have no time to praise your courage, my people, so I will immediately evacuate you who decided to withdraw!” exclaimed Alicia, who after that made a dimensional gate in various places.
“As I've done before to take you all on vacation,” continued Alicia, “the gate is a gate to another dimension that will separate you from here.”
......................
The claps and flaps of wings that continued to sound closer and closer, were finally visible to the naked eye.
Three words that can be expressed.
Big, lot, scary.
Looking at it from a distance alone, made Rey Emeria, as the newest major noble, swallow her own saliva. “Can we really face them?”
“Mustahil.” Hazell who was nearby immediately answered him.
“Pa-Paduka King...?!” Rey didn't expect Hazell to answer.
“If you are afraid, you may withdraw from this battle.”
“Ta-but..it can't be done!”
“Why?”
“I have my responsibility as the main noble..”.
“And it makes you feel like you have to sacrifice your life?
“Your queen does not command you to always submit to her orders. Didn't he just say retreat was the right strategy anyway? You can tell today's events to future generations, making today's story a lesson to them, that whenever darkness strikes, there will always be light against it.
“It will always be like that.
“But, know this, Nak.”
Hazell showed a sun-marked back that was not so bright.
“If the Sun can still penetrate the darkness, then hope has not disappeared!”
The motivation of Hazell managed to make Rey's heart moved. He looked seriously—determined to face all the enemies that greatly suppressed his courage with all the abilities he had.
Not long after, Alicia again made a sound, but now she uses loudspeaker magic, not projectile magic. “Because it's late at night, I give one powerful weapon for you to be able to match them—beyond the Dragon and Giant!”
Alicia's moon earrings shine, along with the coming of night and the moon's shine from the sunlight. When the earrings shine—like resonatesthe almost full moon that just glowed it gets brighter. So bright, making the people below close their eyes or look at the ground.
When they felt that the light was gone and they decided to open their eyes, excluding Hazell and Alicia themselves, they were wide-eyed and gasped. Their bodies glittered moonlight in that night—that's blue—because it has resonated with Alicia— earringsalso their bodies kept dropping grains where it was colorful.
“I-ini.. the power of Queen Alicia..?!”.
.
.
.
.
“You all wait for my cues to attack. Me and Hazell will go ahead first.” Alicia uses her flying magic to get out of the dome, followed by Hazell— where her sun sign continues to glow.
Simultaneously replied, the people screamed, “Siap, Your Majesty!”
Meanwhile, Ozy who remained in human form, along with Myra and Elbrecht who were on the right side of the palace balcony, also fared the same as the humans below.
“See this,” said Ozy, “it looks like he quite doubted us.”
“Don't talk like you can beat them easily. With that rune you must have noticed, right?” Elbrecht folded his hands and closed his eyes.
“Ancient dark magic.”
“Ancient dark magic?!” Myra did not expect. “So that's the reason why the Man has such a strange aura....
“How many lives has he sacrificed so far...? Just imagining it already makes me want to flatten it!”
“Free, Brother. Look better with your eyes it—you'll definitely know what I mean.”
When Myra complies with her brother by activating magic on the eyes to zoom in on a man....
“A-is this possible..?”
“In the world of magic that everything can happen? Could have.” Elbrecht grinned. He then stretched his body. “What we have to do is just one and never change, right?”
Myra responded to Elbrecht's grin with a smile. “Yes. Our promise to father and mother!”
