Volume 1. Chapter 13 Issue

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“It seems like the two of them have arrived…”

“Come in.”

After getting permission from the king, Cini and Rii came in and joined the talks, and told Mansa the steps he had taken.

“I didn't think it would be that difficult fighting two demon kings.” King Ligt was so impressed with Rii and Cini.

“Before leaving, the hero left his words of gratitude. Because you have given the potion.” Rii told Mansa's words to King Ligt.

"Then king, what about the revenge plan?" Vail said so openly without the slightest hesitation, that King Ligt was surprised that Vail spoke so casually.

"For now I will focus on the problems within my kingdom first, after all the problems have been resolved. Only the day will come for my revenge for their betrayal." After King Ligt declared the day of retribution for his betrayal, the window glass was cracked.

"If you need help we will help," Rii offered King Ligt his help, if the king wanted it.

“I will save your help for the time.” King Ligt will remember Rii's offer of help.

“Vail, as you wish. Cini and I have made all the residents of Norf city have no memory of what previously happened, including the hero and his group." Rii informed Vail of his request.

“Except Una…”

“Thank you both.” Vail was happy to hear Rii and Cini's words.

At the end of the afternoon, Rii, Cini, and Vail returned home. Seeing Zein and the woman who was Zein and Clara's mother seemed to be waiting at the door of their house.

"Miss Julian, what are you doing in front of our house?" Cini was so surprised.

“Big brother Rii.” Zein immediately approached Rii.

"Don't run..." Rii was a little worried because Zein still sprained his right ankle.

"Sorry we came to your house, Zein wanted to meet Rii. And I want to answer what Mr. Vail offered two days ago." Miss Julian told her the reason.

"Please don't call me sir or mr in front of my name, mother..." Vail didn't want to be called sir by his mother.

"You guys started it yourself, calling mother not Miss Julian." Miss Julian was irritated by what Cini said.

"In the end, the three of us didn't expect that we would become your adopted children two days ago... even though the three of us were just joking." Rii brought up the incident two days ago when Rii, Cini, and Vail ate together at Miss Julian's residence until Clara was surprised too.

Clara, who had returned from the palace, found that her mother and a younger were missing. Thinking that her mother and younger brother had gone to the residence of the three palace guests, she went straight to Rii, Cini, and Vail's house.

"Okay, if Mother has accepted it so confidently." Vail was happy to hear Miss Julian's decision.

"But who is a waiter in a restaurant?" Julian was curious about who or who would help her when building the restaurant.

"You don't need to—"

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Just wanted to talk about..." Rii felt that it was Clara who came.

"Let me open it." Cini stood up from his seat and went to the door to open it.

"You came at the right time, come in, everyone is waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?" Clara was curious about what Cini said.

Clara entered their house because she was given permission. She saw that the dining table was neatly arranged with several dishes that were quite expensive in terms of food ingredients.

After Clara and Cini sat down, Rii told Clara everything they had said.

"I work at the palace, to meet our needs." Clara was a little surprised by what Rii said, asking herself to stop working.

"We only ask you to help Mother build a restaurant business," Cini said.

"As long as the restaurant business cannot stand alone... all the needs, etc. We will help ." Rii tells about finances.

“You say that, but where does the money you get come from?” Clara took Rii's words very seriously.

"Clara, don't say that to your brothers..." Julian reprimanded Clara, who slightly increased her tone.

Towards evening, when Julian and she two children were about to go home...Vail asked Julian and Clara to stay at their house because Zein had already fallen asleep in the middle of their conversation.

"Sorry, Rii, using your room for Zein..."

“No problem, mother. Besides, this house still has enough rooms." Rii didn't mind what his adoptive mother said.

Five days later, Julian told Vail. If there was a letter from Norf city for him.

Julian gave the letter to one of her adopted children, Vail, and allowed Vail to read it.

"Where are you going, Vail?" Julian was very curious about one of her adopted children.

"There's something I want to do ma'am. Cini, and Rii will take mother and Zein to look for a place that will be used as a restaurant this afternoon," Vail told his adoptive mother.

"I understand, then when will you come home...so that I can prepare food for you." Julian wants to know when her adopted son will be home.

“For today I will probably be at the palace, after finishing my business. I will go straight to the palace to meet the king, and discuss the restaurant and Clara."

"I understand, I hope you can help with this matter..." Julian was worried that it would be too much trouble.

"Then I want to make the food that mother used to make because I seem to like that food."

"Of course, mother will make it..." Julian was very happy to hear the request of one of her adopted children.

"I'll be home before or maybe when dinner time comes, see you, ma'am." Vail opened the door and went out.

"Be careful..." Julian pondered and looked at the door of the house in front of her with an expression that seemed regretful, but immediately brightened up as did mood.

Vail entered a pedestrian-free street and just disappeared...on the other hand, Una seemed to be waiting for someone at the edge of the Leindorf forest.

“…….” Una saw Vail coming towards her.

“Did Rii follow you?” Una wanted to make sure.

"Rii and Cini are accompanying Zein to play," Vail informed.

"I have something to talk about, can you accompany me?"

Vail accompanied Una as she walked deeper into the Laindorf forest. Una didn't say a word or talk. And Vail saw the look on Una's face as if she was carrying a big burden.

After guiding Vail to the cliff of the Leindorf forest...Una began to open her voice.

“Can you come closer, Vail?” Una wanted Vail to stand right in front of her so close.

“…..” Vail didn't say a word, he approached Una who looked at him with a thousand feelings of guilt.

"Can you raise your hands, I want to hug you..."

Vail did it without speaking, he was also asked to close eyes by Una.

Silently, Una cast magic on the two of them...Una hugged Vail, and she jumped off the cliff carrying Vail.

“Sorry…” Una attempted suicide by taking Vail with her.

Una, who also closed her eyes, started to be surprised because she didn't feel sick or anything. When he dared to open eyes, she and Vail were already at the foot of the Leindorf forest cliff.

“Are you trying to pity me, Vail?” Una was so annoyed by Vail's actions.

“So this is it, why ask me to come without Rii following me? Nia…” Vail regretted Una's bad intentions.

“If you have any problems—”

“Don't try to lecture and give me advice...do you think that by just talking all my problems will go away? NOT!" Nia interrupted Vail's words and said loudly at the end of her sentence.

“I admit it, talking about problems won't change anything.”

"You understand too Vail, come on...let's end our lives and--"

“NIA!”

“Do you want to make Rii, Cindy, and Elia cry CRYING FOR YOU!?”

Vail's words hit her heart.

"NOISY!" Nia denied and let go of the hug, and immediately moved away from Vail's embrace.

"What's so hard about just coming with me, VAIL!"

"Do you not accept me and my decisions that much?"

Nia started crying, she kept crying and said everything in her heart that she had been holding back.

“If you don't want to come, I can do it alone.” Nia was so angry and annoyed and walked away from Vail.

"Then...what should I say to the man you love? What did I do, after you died right before my eyes..."

“….” Nia fell silent and stopped in her tracks after hearing Vail's words.

“Rii has nothing to do with this, and don't—”

"Of course, there are, not only him...I'm sure Cini, Cindy, Elia, and the people who have become our friends will be sad." Vail interrupted Nia's words.

"And the consequences of your actions will be thrown at me...everyone will label me as a murderer, merciless, and a traitor," Vail tells her how bad it would be if Nia committed suicide.

"What do you mean? I don't believe what you said, there will be no consequences for you." Nia still rejects Vail's statement.

“Nia…Mansa, and we come from a different world from you. Mansa will put me on trial as the person who planned your murder because I was the only person you saw last before you died.” Vail walked over to Nia.

"So, I hope you are strong enough to endure all your problems...for you, and also for me." Vail, who was in front of Nia, stretched out one of his hands to Nia.

"I will love you, if you doubt there is no one who likes you. I will do anything for you, make you happy...so, don't end your life."

"I will take you, take you...so don't do it again, Nia. because you are a precious woman to me."

Nia cried again, she started to think clearly. Vail just remained silent without taking any action to calm Nia.

Vail did that to let Nia express his problems in tears.

In the afternoon, Nia started to feel better.

“Vail.”

"Yes?"

“Do you think Rii will accept me?” Una wanted to be sure and waited for Vail's answer.

"..." Vail felt his heart drop after hearing Nia's words, he hid it with a smile.

"Rii definitely loves you too, and I'm sure he wants to have you. Both you and Rii already know each other, Nia." Vail gave the answer, but on the other hand he was very heartbroken to hear it.

"...." Una smiled at the answer that satisfied her feelings.

“Okay, I will take you back to Norf City. I'm sure Cindy is looking for you." Vail stretched out one of his hands again.

Una refused because she was much better thanks to her crying. Vail understood Una's refusal, but he still took Una to the city of Norf, even though it was only up to the city entrance.

After dropping Una off, he immediately went home to fulfill his previous words to his adoptive mother.
