Volume 2. Chapter 13 Jealousy

Vail didn't mind, he also asked Rii and Cini to save the man Ryzen said because he had protected Rema as best he could.

“Brother…” In a vague vision, Rema saw Vail approaching her.

“…..” Rema gathered strength in her hands to grab Vail.

“Everything is fine, there is no need to worry. Now go to sleep, we'll take care of the rest." Vail took Rema's hand.

“…..” Before closing her eyes, Rema saw a very large dragon and several giant creatures walking above the two of them.

"How despicable the human race is, they always hurt each other rather than unite to fight the ancestors." Alpha is so disappointed with humans who dominate the outside world.

"Let us clean up the rest."

“…..” Vail saw two giant wolves eating the bodies of dead bandits.

“I want none of them alive,” Vail informed.

“….” Alpha saw the hatred within Vail. He immediately walked towards the edge of the forest where the bandits were.

Rema opened her eyes again and found herself being carried by Vail's arms around her shoulders and knees.

“Why wake up? Even though I hope you wake up after morning." Vail was surprised to see Rema open her eyes.

"Is this a dream?" Rema looked around and found that she was in the night sky, with Vail.

“….” Vail kissed Rema's forehead.

"Is it still a dream?" Vail was happy to find his little sister is safe.

“Brother…” Rema cried uncontrollably, thinking she was dead.

“No need to cry, you are safe. Sorry to put you in danger.” Vail felt very guilty for the problems that happened to Rema.

“…..” Rema was still crying in Vail's arms.

“Stop crying, Rema. Or big brother will give up trading—”

"Wicked! Big Brother wants to kill me?” Rema was shocked and stopped crying, she became annoyed.

“Unexpected change.” Vail was surprised by the change in Rema's mood.

Five minutes passed, and Rema still hadn't said anything, she still wanted to enjoy the hug her brother was giving her.

Her head rested between Vail's neck and shoulder.

“….” Egi saw Rema being brought back down from the sky by a person wearing a mask.

"Your sister is still sleeping?" Cini saw Rema sleeping soundly in Vail's arms.

"Three hours ago she woke up and cried," Vail informed.

"Younger sister?!" Egi was so surprised.

"I thought you knew this masked person was her brother." Rii was a little surprised.

"So you are the prince of the Gerna kingdom? Egi wanted to make sure.

“Thank you for protecting my sister, sir knight. I have heard everything from Rema.” Vail was so happy.

“And as her older brother, I apologize for pulling you into this problem. So we will grant your wish, replacing the agreement made by Princess Rema." Vail told him and asked Egi to ask for something.

"Yes prince, I just--"

“Stop that, Mr. Egi. I don't want anyone kneeling on me, act as if you were meeting your friend.” Vail said, feeling that it would be so troublesome if Egi knelt on him.

“….” Egi stood back up.

“I make sure you don't suffer any defamation and will return your horse-drawn carriage. And tell me, what do you want as a reward?” Vail informed and asked Egi to state his request.

“Then do you wish to listen to my request?” Egi wanted to make sure.

“Of course,” Vail answered if he didn't mind.

"Can you…."

Egi wants all his village residents to be moved to the Gerna kingdom, Egi has many reasons. And one of them is wanting to get security from bandits.

Vail granted it, at the suggestion of Rii and Cini. Namely allowing the Vail area given by King Ligt to be used as a residential area for villages that are outside protection.

In the morning, Vail took Egi and Rema to the palace.

"I've thought about that, Mr. Egi. Please forgive my daughter for getting you into trouble."

“Money, carriage, and honor as Gerna's knight I will give you. Because you protected Rema to the point where you couldn't do anything else." King Ligt gave Egi the knighthood of Gerna.

“Thank you, king, I am happy to receive it.” Egi couldn't refuse, because he was forced by Vail.

“Two of Gerna's elite soldiers will come with you to the village, to give you news of this.” King Ligt informed.

"Thank you, King." Egi became awkward.

“Soldier, give the young man the best horse and also buy a new carriage and choose the best. Then give him a hundred gold coins.” The king ordered one of the soldiers guarding the throne door.

“Understood my king…”

"Mr. Egi, please follow the soldier." King Ligt informed.

"Once again, thank you, king, then I will take my leave."

Egi stood up and followed the soldier in question. After receiving all the gifts and having his name cleared.

When he wanted to return to his village, Rii stopped him.

"Necklace?" Egi was surprised by the necklace Rii gave him.

"This item has the power to protect you from anything," Rii said about the function of the necklace, even though he didn't tell the name of the necklace.

"You have saved Rema, who is Gerna's Princess... and indirectly Rema is my younger sister, even though I am no longer a prince," Rii told Egi what the public didn't know.

“….” Egi, who heard that, was immediately shocked.

"Thank you, Prince Rii." Egi took the necklace.

"I'm not a prince anymore, if you call me that...you have to marry Rema." Rii enjoyed annoying Egi who was so innocent.

Egi and two Raseon knights leave…

“Aren't you overreacting to him?” Cini approached Rii and felt sorry for Egi.

“It doesn't matter either, men like Egi are rare to find. Even though he protects Rema because Rema's status is a royal princess." Rii informed.

"So you mean, Egi considers himself a knight and protects Rema?" Vail came and answered Rii's words.

“That's how it is...Egi has responsibilities as a knight, isn't that why you appointed him as the knight of Princess Rema, Vail?” Rii confirmed Vail's words.

“That's true, but I don't think he'll be able to become king,” Vail informed.

“I understand what you mean because Gerna has a king who is a demon king. It is not like that?" Cini summed up Vail's words.

Queen Amira and Princess Rema came to the three of them. Cini and Rii congratulate Queen Amira on her recovery.

"Thank you Mr. Rii and Mr. Cini," the Queen was so happy. Amira also knows that Rii is Gerna's first prince, even though Rii chooses not to be a prince anymore.

Amira was so curious about how Rii could become a prince, and the reason Rii chose to throw away his title as prince.

"You guys want to go back?" Queen Amira wanted to make sure.

"We want to buy supplies at the Bazaar or small market, on the main road." Cini informed the queen of their purpose.

“Rema, when will you return to academics?” Vail was curious.

“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, is there a problem? Older brother." Rema was so curious.

"Do you want to join?" Vail invited Rema to go for a walk, because Vail knew that Rema always spent time at the academy and her dormitory.

Amira asked them to be careful on the road and reminded them to go home before sunset.

Rema returned to her room and put on her academic clothes, she wanted to show Vail the clothes.

Rema wanted to hear praise from her older brother, but Vail told her that he was not good at praising.

“Rii, Cini, you two go shopping. Rema and I will look for a snack shop and a place to rest for a while," Vail told Rii and Cini.

"Okay." Rii didn't mind.

"Let us know when we find it." Cini reminded Vail.

“I think it would be much better together.” Rema was so surprised.

“Rema, your older brother indirectly asked you out on a date. If you don't like it, I'll call them. Hey—"

"Aaaa~" Rema tried to block Vail's words from coming out by covering Vail's mouth with her both hands.

At the wrong time, Clara was shopping with husband. Accidentally saw Vail with another woman.

Clara didn't know that the woman in question was Rema.

"Brother— " Clara stopped talking because the woman in front of Vail grabbed and took him away.

"Clara, what 's wrong ?" Erick saw that his wife was crying.

"Nothing...my eyes just got dust." Clara lied to her husband.

"Clara, I know you're lying, did my request to join the war make you cry?" Erick wanted to confirm why his wife was crying.

“Just now…I…saw…brother with…another woman,” Clara said sobbing.

"Isn't that great news?" Erick thought his wife was crying because she was happy to see that her brother was still healthy.

"You don't understand, that's why I don't want to say..." Clara told her true feelings.

“Why…didn't…big brother come to me first? Why don’t you go home…I’ve been waiting…waiting for big brother, waiting for Vail to come home.”

"..." Erick didn't expect that the reason his wife was crying was because she was jealous of her older brother, Vail. He immediately rushed to search and explore for find and drag Vail to Clara.

On the other hand, Mansa saw Erick so upset about something and Clara was chasing Erick.

“Mansa?” someone patted Mansa on the back.

“You two, what are you doing?” Mansa was shocked, the people who patted his back were Cini and Rii.

“We should be the ones asking.” Rii was very curious about why Mansa was in Gerna.

“We just bought groceries, and are going to Vail and Rema's place,” Cini said.

"Earlier I saw—"

“Rii!”

Cini and Rii ran as hard as they could, finding news from Vail. Ask them to protect Rema and Clara.

Curious Mansa followed the two of them.

In the crowd, he lost Cini and Rii. But he heard Erick's angry voice.

"Excuse me, sir, what happened?" Mansa wants to know about the commotion.

“I don't know for sure, it's just that. The man suddenly forcibly pulled the masked man from his seat and beat him.” The person Mansa asked told him what he saw.

"Why you don't come to Clara! Hah?" Erick grabbed Vail's collar. And so disappointed.

"Erick...stop it, there's no need to discuss it," Clara asked her husband not to discuss it any further.
