“It’s been a while Senary.”

“Yes. It’s been a while. Princess.”

“Are you fine? Senary.”

“I am fine. The same go to you princess.”

“It is not hard. I used to it.”

“Please don’t say that princess. Now let not stand here. Here, this way please. Princess.”

“How thoughtless of me. Please.”

=================

“And the ceremony will process tomorrow morning.”

“I can grab some of the picture.”

“What is it you want to inquire about?”

“You can tell?”

“Yes.”

“Who behind this? And what are the driving factors? I asked father but he did not tell me anything.”

“What did he tell you?”

“Is he behind this?”

“So you can tell. And why you still ask me?”

“I just want to confirm my hypothesis. I am a scholar after all.”

“pfsss. Hahahaha. I can’t get used to you bragging.”

“So am I correct?”

“100 scores. But I don’t know why.”

“I am really upset when everyone try to hide it from me. It’s not like I am completely ignored about him. So why does everyone try to hide it from me?”

“Not everyone but your finances”

“Senary.”

“Sorry, sorry. So what is your hypothesis?”

“… It is something relate to Dark continuant or Eis. You should already knew, every time he decides to involve everyone, it’s always something relate to the invasion of Dark continuant or Eis’s safety.”

“I don’t think that is all.”

“What make you think that?”

‘Serirak told me-“

“He want a boy?”

“Princess.”

“My bad, it is just pay back. So what is it if it is not about your first born?”

“Things will begin to get hectic after this. We should rest for now.”

“I envy you.”

“?”

“He is so kind to you. You are not left out on this.”

“Young master Viraka is also kind in his own way.”

“You don’t have to speak for him.”

“He just doesn’t want you to worry too much.”

“I am not a doll for decoration. I have my share in his misery too.”

“I can understand your pride as an imperial princess but everyone has different role.”

“Every role is interconnect to each other. I can also utilize my role to support him too.”

“That mean he just want you to maximize your role.”

“You can say that because you are allowed to involve.”

“You think I am not frustrate? I am also involve? I am also left out. I can only know. I cannot and I am not allowed to do anything. I can do nothing for him. Everything, every time, I can involve when it’s all good.”

“Senary…. I am sorry. It is my bad to venge my anger on you.”

“I also sorry for my misconduct. I lost my cool for a sec.”

“………..”

“………..”

“We really can’t hold a serious conversation for long.”

“Yes. It always lead to arguing every time we don’t try to lighten the mood.”

“Let end this conversation here. There is no need for us, sister, to argue each other.”

“I agree. We have a council meeting this evening. We should prepare.”

“You can go now.”

=========

“I will leave tomorrow.”

“Be safe my sister.”

“You too. Be safe.”

“…”

“…”

“Did you know my younger sister also left to find him?”

“Fifth princess? Was she already released from her house arrest?”

“No. she ran away.”

“Hey~. She’s really never changed.”

“Please look after her if you happen to come across her.”

“I will take a good care of her if she didn’t cause trouble.”

“You are making me become more anxious………… Since she was young, she always cause trouble.”

“………Human really can’t be changed that easily.”

“But in the end we all still change. Better or worse, ourselves still end up changing even we want it or not.”

“Is this the wise word from your scholar self?”

“Yes. Sound wise right?”

“As wise as an old lady.”

“I am still in my 50. I am not pass 100 yet. How can I be an old lady?”

“But your thought process did.”

“Look at the one talking.”

“…..”

“…..”

“…..”

“pff. Hahaha.”

“pff. Hahaha.”

“…”

“…”

“Did you know…?”

“Huh?”

“The capital is in chaos.”

“?”

“Every one of house Solita was dead.”

“The Six Pillars?”

“Yes. Every single one. Those are of house Solita and those relate to them were all dead. None have their head intact. Now, the Crown is trying to hide it. This Intel has yet to spread. Only a handful know about this. And every movement in the land of Solita are currently supressed. So I don’t think the civil war will happen soon.”

“Lord Asura did it?”

“The likelihood is so high that I can’t deny it.”

“For the Crown and Lord Asura to not care about the consequence. It’s really….”

“Everyone in house Asura is in tumour too.”

“I can only say this is the Wrath of Asura.”

“I can only think about one possible conclusion here.”

“?”

“Vayu is in danger.”

“The tragedy will repeat itself again. Huh?”

“It feels like that time. I’m afraid that the same thing will happen to him.”

“Now, I can understand why you were that mad. …..It really is frustrating.”

“…”

“…”

“Princess…… was the Lady aware of this?”

“…”

“…”

“I don’t think anyone has reported it to mother yet. But she might be aware to some degree. And Senary, you should stop calling her Lady. Call her mother.”

“I am not shameless like you. …. I have to meet up with her ASAP.”

“Please do.”

“…”

“…”

“Is it relate to fifth princess’s action?”

“I can only guess. Yes. House Solita might be the one to induce my sister. I don’t know the detail but after that there were some shift in the south. The Intel might leaked to there too. But I still can’t conclude it.”

“Where can they get Intel on Yayu’s movement when an imperial princess and his brothers can’t, Right?”

“I suspect that there are some other third parties behind this.”

“The likelihood is very high. But I don’t think one of the Six Pillars would step so low as to become someone else puppet.”

“How about dark continent?”

“It is possible but no. Solita fief is located exactly in the middle of the continent. For the Dark Continent to contact house Solita, they have to cross surveillance of the Bridge or Darieka region first.”

“I also thought so. At the East we have the Bridge and Viraka, At the North we have Darieka Region and Vayu. At the South we have house Asura and Lord Asura, At the West we have Imperial army and young master Serirak. I really can’t image how the Dark Continent can involve in this”

“They can if they can slip under our surveillances…. Just like that one time.”

“I am still looking into it.”

“I will help you investigate it.”

“Thank.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Nee. Will Vayu be safe?”

“That, I can’t give you answer. But… this time, it will be different since his Eis will be with him. He is not alone anymore.”

“His Eis… Yes his Eis.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“I always wish time can fly back.”

“You want to return to the past?”

“I have always thought about it. At that time… If I tried to understand him more… if I stayed on his side… if I didn’t abandoned him… will the outcome change…will thing progress for the better?”

“Don’t cry over spilled milk.”

“Cry over spilled milk?”

“Just an old word I learn from library. We can’t change the past. We all live in present. So all we can do is to live in our present, make it good and prepare it for our better future. We might have caused him harm at present for our past actions. But we can atone our mistake by present him an euphoric future with our present actions.”

“…”

“As for now, we should concern about our fiancés more. Isn’t yours in Frontline?”

“You really can’t be honest with yourself Senary. If you are worried about young master Serirak you should say so.”

“Yes, I am worried. I am anxious about his safety.”

“… Don’t worried. Vayu will not allow any harms befall his family.”

“… Yes. He won’t allow it.”

(Everyone, Please be safe.)

(Stay safe everyone.)
