Alexandrita residence.This tower-like building widens, not only from the outside looks unique, but inside as well. Items that seem antique are displayed in various places. The items are protected by magic grains that continuously circle them, which is useful to keep them from falling or getting dusty. In addition, it is also a plus to beautify them.
The green space that Ashley and Zeeta are training in, having built a round room without a roof that is actually enough to be filled by sixteen people partying barbeque. The space contains Swiss grass and several large tree trunks that have been carved as chairs to fit the theme of the room.
The room was built separately with Ashley's residence made of rocks such as marble and others. With teak wood as the main material, the room looks striking, it is also decorated by glass windows that rotate it to the aluminum-handled glass door in the middle.
"I'll just give you one tip" Ashley told Zeeta, who had retreated to the other end of the room crossing her arms. "Don't hesitate if you want to finish them off."
Zeeta who continues to avoid the laser attack Teddy and Ashley's reindeer by running and jumping many times, unfortunately has now run out of breath. At the very least, Zeeta could still absorb what the tips from his teacher were. Teddy and the deer just twisted their bodies in the direction that Zeeta went, without leaving where he stood.
"Speaking, it's easy, but I can't focus on what I'm supposed to do in this room!" scream Zeeta. "Hmm?! In the room?" he realized something.
"Oh? Did he get the answer?" muttered Ashley. He smiled a little.
Zeeta looked around. He gasped, before finally running towards a tree trunk, then touching it. He closed his eyes, then came a shield made of the same that towered from the trunk. "I know this won't hold them off for too long, but...." Zeeta caught his breath, and then he made four white balls— each two in both hands. The white balls if seen with the naked eye will be like snowballs, but if seen more clearly, the balls have super small spots— sort of molecules— that continue to circle the ball.
"Don't hide too long! It will only aggravate your situation! What do you want to do?!" shout Ashley.
"I know, can Master not bother me first? Uhh!" zeta's reply also shouted.
At the same time, Agatha, Edward, and Ella, who were being held by her grandmother, and Karim, saw Zeeta's training. Not to forget Arthur and Lowen too.
"It should be easy for the Princess.... He just stayed to knock out their eyes or feet, "Lowen's mind, "then why didn't he think of it...?"
"Look, Ed!" exclaim Ella. He pointed to Zeeta who was trying to do something behind the high shield.
"Uhm.... Let's see, what is the power of the Princess!" reply Edward. They watched him with serious gazes, as if they did not want to leave a single second of the movement Zeeta was about to take.
......................
"Teacher, before I start, I want to ask!" scream Zeeta.
"What?" ask Ashley.
"Do all magic creatures have magic nuclei?"
Ashley smiled wryly. "Heh. Find out the answer yourself!"
"Well, that's what I thought, anyway!" then Zeeta blew four white balls in her hand.
Zeeta emerges from hiding and immediately throws the four white balls. Two of them went to Teddy's hand and the other two to the deer's eye. For a moment, the shots of the two magical beasts stopped.
"I thought!" inner Lowen and Ashley— both have different intentions.
"There's no way the Princess didn't realize what she had to do. If their movements and attacks were paralyzed, it was a victory for him. That's how it should be!" Lowen seemed happy to see what Zeeta was doing.
"No. Zeeta's magic did not paralyze the movement or attack from them," Arthur said suddenly.
"What did you say?!"
While inside, Ashley looked unhappy. "Basic stupid! I'm telling you to completely disable them, not at such a specific place! Even if you manage to immobilize their movements, it could be—" Ashley was cut by Zeeta.
"Already, already, I know what Master wants to say. Look, are they really just paralyzed in certain parts?" Zeeta smiled arrogantly while raising her eyebrows.
Ashley also looked at the creature more closely. "W-what?! Since when are you...?"
"The teacher said, 'You must have known about Erigona, right?' Then, this must have something to do with him! Hence, the magic that I cast, there is a special extra sedikiiiiit inside!"
Lowen looked at Arthur and Zeeta repeatedly. "How ... can you...?"
"I raised Zeeta alone for eight years, and I taught her how to use magic. What do you want to reject me as her foster father, Zeeta is still my daughter!"
Agatha and Karim who heard Arthur could only fall silent. For the time being.
"So...What's so great about him?" ask Edward. He did not understand what Zeeta had just done.
"Ed, look at those two creatures!" hatch Ella.
Starting from where Zeeta's white sphere hit the two magical creatures, they slowly froze. It didn't take long, Teddy and the deer fell and broke into pieces.
"Pfft... hahahaha!" Ashley laughed out loud.
"What's so funny, Teacher?!" Zeeta feels underestimated.
"No, no. I just realized, that you're really a descendant of Scarlet and Alicia!"
"Eh? Whatchu mean?"
"Without you realizing it, you are a genius!"
"Je-genius? I just do what I think. Why did Master say I was a genius?"
"Listen, Son. How can a child like you know how to take down a magical creature that has the same concept as Erigona, when you don't know what Erigona looks like in reality, if you're not a genius?"
"Oh....
"Ehe.. ehehehe...."
Zeeta scratched her non-itchy head. It blushed red.
"But don't be happy!" ashley's face suddenly in a bad mood. "This is just a pebble to your challenge in the future. Keep practicing and never be lazy!"
"Ba-good!"
......................
At lunchtime, everyone present from the Levant, Zeeta, Arthur, and Ashley parties, gathered at the same table. While waiting for the servants to serve the meal, they discussed Zeeta a little further.
"So... Uncle Lowen is... My father's sister?" ask Zeeta.
Lowen replied, "You're right. Supposedly, the one in the palace was me. Because back then, Queen Alicia wanted help to investigate something, related to Queen Feline's prophecy, but....
"My elder brother Hazell, who was already the head of the Levant nobility at the time, was obliged to remain outside the palace even though he was the king. He ignored his obligation to replace me and finally...."
"Eh? Why can't the king be in the palace...?" Zeeta tilted her eyebrows.
"Levant was a special noble, separate from the main noble. We have another important role for the kingdom. For what kind of role, I still can't tell you."
"Oh, okay.... So, what makes you have to ignore your obligations? Is that as important as my mother's request?"
"On that...." Lowen glanced at Karim.
Karim was silent for a moment, then suggested, "Look, son. How about after lunch, you come with us? That way, you will understand faster than hearing our story while imagining. Of course, if the Grand Duchess allows."
Zeeta glanced at Ashley.
"Are you all sure? Zeeta just had a problem with Rowing. Don't you think it's all too soon for her?" ask Ashley.
"Mrs Ashley is right. We'd better delay it first" Agatha replied in agreement.
"Hmmm. You're right." Karim and Lowen have thought about it twice.
Then shortly, Edward and Ella slam the table.
"Don't Papa say that you can be healed by the Princess? If he's not invited home, when else?!" edward's screams.
"I.. I miss my mom...." Ella mutters.
"Dward, Ella! Talk about it later!" Lowen scolded his son.
Tears came out of the twins.
"Father liar!" Edward and Ella ran out of the dining room.
"He-hey, Ed, Ell! Where are you guys going?!"
"Basic...." Agatha held her forehead. "You don't have to yell at them like that, do you? This is what sets you apart from Arthur."
Lowen glared sharply at Arthur.
"Hey hey, give me a break, dong, geez. How much does he hate me?" inner Arthur.
"Ohhhhh...." Lowen sighed. "Let the twins. They will come back here if they are hungry" he said.
Zeeta was not happy about the remark. "I'll talk to them!" Then, he ran after Edward and Ella.
"Tu-Mr Princess? Are you sure? It's lunch soon!" exclamation Lowen.
Karim, who was unable to hold back his emotions, finally stood up, approached Lowen, then....
'DBUUHGG!'
"I never remember educating my heartless son like that, you know, Lowen. If I hear you once again treat Ed and Ell like that, I'll make sure you can't go back to—" Karim's anger was broken Agatha.
"Darling! This is the Grand Duchess's residence!" agatha Tukas.
"Pardon me, Grand Duchess...." Karim regrets his disrespect.
......................
Zeeta went hall by hallway, room by room, to find the twins. Giving up on how vast Ashley's residence was, Zeeta finally decided to use magic.
He closed his eyes, then opened his palm to collect the magic details.
"Tell me where they are." Inner Zeeta, who put "commands" in her magic. Before long, the magic grains formed themselves into arrow marks, then guided Zeeta where Edward and Ella were.
After about four minutes, Zeeta finally finds the twins sobbing and hugging each other. They're in the armory of Alexandrita's army. Apparently, the twins are afraid of the dark room and sharp objects complete with armor. The armour, protected by a kind of magic transparent wall, which without being opened with anything, is inviolable.
"Hey!" call Zeeta while whispering a little.
The twins turned their heads. Their eyes - though invisible to Zeeta, sparkle upon seeing the arrival of her cousin's sister.
"Mr Putriii!" the two run and then jump towards Zeeta until they fall together. "We're afraid!" screeched the two while flooding their cheeks.
Just the first time he experienced something like this, somehow he remembered how Arthur calmed him down when he was afraid. He gently stroked the heads of his two cousins' sisters, then whispered, "Calm down, everything will be fine. I'm here with you guys."
Slowly, the twins' cries began to subside. Their fingers were seen pinching Zeeta's clothes, as if they did not want to take it off again.
"It's quiet?" ask Zeeta.
"Uh." Both nod.
"good. Let's go back." Zeeta tries to stand up, but the twins are arrested.
"Father..," said Ella.
"Liar" Edward said.
Zeeta was deadlocked after hearing that. "E-uh? They... don't want to go back? Eh?! I-I have to be a—" when Zeeta panics with her inner self, she hears a stomach sound that has been raised up a hand to feed. It's from Edward and Ella. Can be seen clearly by Zeeta, the twins blushing red. Her red skin was like a tomato, so contrasted with their blond hair.
"Ahaha.... Then let's eat! I'll cook for you!" Zeeta pulls the twins to help them stand up.
"Eh?" Ella tilted her head.
"Mr Princess can cook?" keep Edward.
"Yes, of course! It's been a long time since I've cooked, I've been a spirit!" there was a fire in Zeeta's eyes.
"Wellahh!" in addition to the twinkling eyes of the twins, their hearts had also shone again. "Uhm! We want!" break both together.
"Then.... Wait a minute, yeah." Zeeta looked to close her eyes.
"Although I said so, but I've never seen and know where the kitchen is teacher Ashley's house! Aaaa! What am I supposed to do? Hmm?! Wait for. I seem to forget someone important to me when I practice cooking...."
Zeeta tries to find answers to her trivial problems with all her might.
"ah! Gerda!" Zeeta suddenly glared, then closed her eyes again. "Sip, I'll just talk to him over telepathy!"
......................
Meanwhile, Gerda who is helping Neko's Inn employees cook by cutting the necessary ingredients....
"Gerda!"
"Yahoo!" zeeta's sudden voice rang out inside his head, making him scream until dropping a knife—nya almost hurt his leg.
"Who is that?!" Gerda who looked concussion, triggered various eyes focused on her.
"It's me, Zeeta!"
"Zeeta?!" reflexes screamed, Gerda then closed her mouth.
"Gerda? What's wrong with the Princess?" ask the female officer behind her.
"A-ah.. n-it's okay, it's okay!"
"Are you sure?"
"Uhm!" Gerda tried her best to hold whatever was on her mind to keep it from coming out. Be it for emotions to Zeeta, or to reveal that Zeeta is talking to him by telepathy.
"If you're not feeling well, get some rest!" The female employee took a knife and continued Gerda's duties.
"I-I'll do it...." Gerda left the kitchen.
After Gerda came out of the kitchen and into the room, she immediately vented her emotions, replying to Zeeta in a loud voice, ignoring Danny who was there. "What do you want, you don't know yourself!?"
"What the fuck are you doing, suddenly scolding me like that?!" Danny did not accept it.
"Get angry later, tell me what you're standing for now, it's an emergency!"
"The emergency?!" hearing him as if cornered, made Gerda think of nothing but explaining what the face of the room in which she was standing now was like.
Zeeta, who had figured out the position of her friend, then clasped the twins' hands. "Hey, have you ever teleported?" ask Zeeta with a smile.
Twice the sleigh answered Zeeta.
"Hehe, then hold on tight!"
The twins followed her sister's request while closing their eyes. It didn't take more than three seconds, they suddenly heard a loud shout from someone.
"Title?! Zee... Zee... Zeta?!" Danny, who was in a comfortable position on his mattress, suddenly sat neatly.
"Well, great.... We were in a dark place!" hatch Edward.
"Uhm. The Princess is great, yes!" Ella tightened her grip.
"Well, Zeeta." With her deadly threat, Gerda walks closer to Zeeta. "Explain to me, MOMENT! THIS IS! ALSO!
"Didn't you know because of your magic, I almost punched my feet with a knife?!"
Gerda looked extremely horrifying in the eyes of Edward and Ella.
"Eh? Really true?" Zeeta tilted her head.
"Yes!"
"Sorry, yes, Gerda. About the emergency, I'm not lying, really."
Gerda extinguished the flames of her anger, then saw two identical children who were as tall as Zeeta. "Who?" he pointed at the twins.
"I'll tell you later, yeah. Well, you guys want to come with me to see my cooking act, or wait here with these two sisters?" Zeeta kneel.
"Of course we're coming!" they answer at the same time.
"Good!" he woke up and took his two sisters outside. "Listen yes, this is a historic day for us to strengthen our relationships in the future!" Zeeta takes Edward and Ella into the inn's kitchen with a break.
From the room, Gerda and Danny can hear clearly how excited the inn was when the three went down.
"Duh...what the hell is Zeeta? Since when has he been this happy?" Gerda sat next to her sister.
"Uh-huh, I feel like Zeeta is not Zeeta, but somehow I feel like she's still Zeeta, too" Danny replies.
"HUH?" Gerda glanced at her brother's disgust. "It's not clear!"
"Hey hey hey! I'm your brother, what is your disgusted look?!"
"Think about it yourself with that shrimp brain! I'll see what Zeeta does!" Gerda left the room.
"What's not clear is you, you know, you stupid little brother." Danny murmured.
"I can hear you!" gerda shouted, making Danny shudder in horror.
......................
Hearing the excitement from Neko's Inn over the news of the Princess who was there, of course, it easily reached the ears of Ashley and anyone in the dining room. A soldier reported it when they were enjoying eating food.
Ashley dropped her spoon. He could not believe what he had just heard.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
