Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Prince Cupu (?)
Under the brilliance of the nearly full moon, in the courtyard of the palace belonging to the Southern Flare kingdom, there were four people who were facing each other. They do not sit, but stand. Three of them are installing ears and eyes to listen carefully to what the man with the title Prince wants to say.
"Truly, I really did not expect that I would meet in person the man who had been the target of my father for twenty years," said Prince Eizen, initiating the information.
"Why would the Gala King want it?" ask Ashley.
Eizen looked at Barghest furiously. "Ayahanda wanted this man to be his successor."
"Peenager...?" Barghest. "What does that mean? I'm just a child of the common people!"
"Oh, did you know about that? Good though. It shortens the story." Eizen took a deep breath—it would take preparation before saying the next sentence.
"I hate to admit it, but I did not inherit the power of the Sun from my father. I don't get it! Why would a commoner like you, who after years of being banished by your own parents, even want to be made a successor by the King!? You even received a curse from a Dragon, didn't you?!"
The three interlocutors gasped, as did someone who was watching them from within the palace.
"Let me straighten out the information we already know. May I, Prince?" ask Ashley.
After seeing their reaction, Eizenpun assented.
"Barghest is a descendant of ordinary humans—in other words his parents are not someone with high mana. Is this true?"
"true."
"He was banished by his parents because he received the curse of the Dragon. If so, how did the noble there know all that? What's more, he was dumped when he was a baby."
"Hand."
"Sign...?"
"The "descendants of the Sun have marks on their backs. The mark could not be removed and appeared just like that when his heir entered the age of twelve. The sign also has a function to recognize offspring partners, even though they have different origins."
Scarlet and Ashley frowned. They also looked at each other for a moment.
"Swear in the name of your kingdom, Prince Eizen!" snapped Scarlet, "did you really say the real thing?!"
Barghest did not understand why Scarlet's emotions had suddenly risen. He just stared in silence from behind.
"What do you mean?! Of course I'm honest!"
"You mean it if the information was obtained from your father?!"
"So-about that...."
Scarlet was bluffing her teeth. "Tell me the truth, if you don't want the Gala kingdom destroyed, Prince Cupu! Do you not understand why the three of us bothered to come to the land of people just to attend a silly tea party that would end in a few hours only?!"
Scarlet pulls Eizen's tuxedo collar until he loses his balance and nearly falls.
"Ha-destroyed...? Wait, what does that mean?!" Eizen gripped Scarlet's hand and brushed it off.
"OK, okay, relax, Prince, Scarlet...." Ashley mediates the two by walking between them.
"You know why I'm like this to her, Ash! Don't assume I'm the—"
"Haaah~ being patient for a moment won't hurt you, Scarlet. Let me explain it."
"Curtain!" Scarlet stepped back with a sullen face.
"No, Ashley." Scarlet and Ashley's gaze was fixed on Barghest's hand on Ashley's left shoulder. "Because this is related to my birth, Prince Eizen has the right to know it correctly."
Ashley smiled slightly, then raised both of her hands. "alright. I'll let you both. But don't think our eyes will be out of you!"
Barghest smiled back. "Yes, of course."
Later, Ashley pulls Scarlet away from Barghest and Eizen, in order to let two men of that age speak for four eyes.
"I don't think so," said Eizen.
"What?"
"Although your appearance can be raging at any time, you can be polite, even to a woman."
"Does that mean you want me to go berserk?"
Eizen grinned. "Well!" he then folded his hands behind his armpits. "No wonder you can survive in the forest for twenty years. Your nature is like that!
"alright. Put aside the jokes, I'm serious, what's wrong with my kingdom?"
After that, Barghest told him about the Hollow he witnessed.
......................
"Then...." Eizen's temples looked sweaty. "Can you determine when the creature will reach the Gala?"
"Unfortunately no. That's why my fiance is so impatient."
"Tu-Wedding...?!" Eizen looked back and forth at Scarlet and Barghest.
"HUH?! WHAT DO YOU SEE, PRINCE CUPU?!" scarlet's screams are at the end of her patience.
"Patience a little more, Scarlet. Please." Barghest threw his smile.
Scarlet immediately turned her blushing face away. "Yaa~hh, if that's what you want, anyway...."
"Uhm. Thank you." Thank you."
"Gi-mad...!" Eizen was amazed at the man who in a sense had tamed the savagery.
"So...." Barghest is back in serious fashion. "Where did you get the information about the sign you called earlier?"
Eizen still seemed a bit hesitant to say it, but in the end he ventured. "A former Yggdrasil Seed."
"Yggdrasil Seed? What'sthat?"
"You don't know?"
Barghest. Then, it was Eizen's turn to tell what the Yggdrasil Seed was.
.
.
.
.
"so." Barghest closed his eyes. "Do you also know of your curse from the same man, Princess?" Barghest raises his head.
"DOLL?!" all those near the Beast King immediately stared towards his gaze.
At first glance, Scarlet found golden hair that quickly hid.
"Why is everything getting so complicated like this...?" Eizen sighed.
Ashley and Scarlet approached the two. "When did you realize he was there, Barghest?" ask Ashley.
"Whatchu mean? Of course from the beginning."
"WHY HAVEN'T YOU SAID IT SINCE—"
"Shhh!" Barghest immediately walked back to the two. His gaze was serious, angry, his corneas changed. "Are you .. called L'arc?"
"Tu-Tuan L'arc?!" Eizen surprised.
.
.
.
.
The sudden silence there adds tension for two women and a man from a distant land.
.
.
.
.
'Prok....
'Prok....
'Prok....
'Swag....'
As if emerging from behind the air, L'arc appeared blatantly. He also clapped his hands while showing a grin that looked very satisfied and amazed.
"Geez, my goodness. I haven't been entertained like this for a long time! Thanks to you, Barghest, I'm back to remembering what pleasure feels like!"
Barghest diam—tak returned a word to L'arc. However, the wind slowly blew around him, blowing away his long hair that covered the face that was looking down.
Later then....
'LIVE!!'
A hard blow landed on L'arc's nose and managed to thicken it far into the wall of the palace fence.
Barghest then took a strong breath. "TAKE THE GOLDEN PRINCESS AWAY FROM HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
The sound of a bang that was immediately followed by a shout of Barghest, immediately horrendous the entire palace.
"Barghest?!" The bewildered Scarlet looked frightened by the expression her fiance had put on. "What is this really about?"
"We've been framed."
"Just guessed?!"
Eizen smiled broadly. "Just like Mr. L'arc said, you are completely different from the others! Even the two women were also not—"
"Is it like that?" Ashley stood right behind Eizen with a magic blade on the back of her right hand ready to split her prey at any moment.
"Ha ha ha...." The prince was undaunted. "Kill me if you want, woman. But don't expect that the Hollow that's heading for the Gala can be destroyed!"
"So it turns out you...." Ashley stayed on standby with her magic blade.
Soon the nobles and the King and Queen came out.
"W-What is this really?!" king's Jeers.
Scarlet relaxed her neck, back, and fingers. "Ashley, I'm gonna use that magic."
Ashley, who understood his point, replied, "I'll take care of you."
"Please."
Ashley nodded in response, then Scarlet approached the King and Queen. "There's no time to explain, but to be sure, the Southern Flare is in danger. We can't linger here."
"No, no, no, this is my country, I'm entitled—"
"Just obey, Papa."
All eyes there were fixated on the arrival of the golden-haired lady along the ankle. Not only because of her hair, but also her face.
"One....
"Two....
"Three."
The girl was counting, but no one understood why. Later then....
.
.
.
.
'BWHAM!'
The place before the girl was, it exploded very strongly, throwing debris in all directions.
"A-in there...." The king was at a loss for words.
"That's right, Papa. Because of them, I survived. I'll tell you what exactly hangs going on, but for now, just follow them."
"Alright...."
"But as far as you know, Princess Aurora, I'm not leaving without retaliating. Your fiancee and I knew more or less what we were supposed to do. So...."
"No, Princess!" rebut Barghest, "keep your strength." It showed his right fist.
The golden-haired girl was puzzled for a few seconds, but a smile immediately greeted her. "I can't control my power, you know."
"All right, I'll start, yeah!!!" scarlet Screams. He created a magic circle on the ground to encompass it into the palace. The nobles and the King and Queen did not expect with which capacity Scarlet could be issued this large. The magic circle dazzled everyone's view, until a moment later they vanished from Southern Flare—excluding his palace.
Well, right now, in that palace, only Ashley, Barghest, and Eizen remain cornered.
"Is this how you live?" Eizen is still smiling.
"What do you mean?" ask Ashley.
'DWILDO!!'
The explosion occurred in the direction where L'arc was thrown earlier. That made Barghest and Ashley glare. The explosion took place in a densely populated place....
