The queen looked up. That is Lucien. There was another asura who intended to attack the queen from behind, but Lucien slashed with his sword.

"Argh!!!" said the asura in pain.

Yuki and the maid saw Lucien's cold figure, but they were sure that he was a good asura. Not long after, Tyrone landed and stood in front of Lucien.

"Hurry up!!" Lucien said to them.

"Ho-ho... What are you doing, Lucien?" said Tyrone.

"Stop this, Tyrone!! They are innocent. Why did you have to go this far???!" Lucien said.

"That baby will threaten my life," replied Tyrone.

"You are too fixated on divination. The future can be changed!" answered Lucien.

"Why did you interfere, Lucien?"

"Because I am your friend, and you are a precious being to me. So, I will not leave you in this wrong view!" shouted Lucien emotionally.

Tyrone gasped.

Elsewhere, Leander whispers to Leona to find a gap and then chases after the queen. When Kiran launched his attack with a blizzard, that's when Leona took the opportunity to fly after the queen. She also found the queen who was walking panting. With no mercy, she shot and pierced the queen. She landed and saw that there was no baby. "Unlucky. Where did the baby go?" Leona kept circling the place, but she couldn't find it.

On the other hand, ...

"Your Majesty, I hope you are well," Meisha said crying while holding the baby.

Before that incident, there was a debate.

"I'm not strong enough to run away. My stamina has been drained."

"But I can't leave Your Majesty."

"You have to be safe. Please take good care of this princess. I leave her to you."

They cried and hugged each other.

(These words appear in Ryana's memory when she was dying and was saved by Lucien. She was unconscious for 5 days ---> in Chapter 17 - Castle).

In the end, Meisha ran away as fast as she could.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty. Where should I hide?" Mumbled Meisha.

Finally, Tyrone got on his horse and left. Meanwhile, Lucien chased after the queen and saw Leona who was on guard around the place while flying.

"Go back," said Lucien who flew over to her.

"But..."

Lucien's gaze became sharp.

"O-Okay."

Leona is back. Not far from there, Lucien found the queen's body lying.

Leander who saw Leona turned around and then stopped his fight with Kiran. Kiran who realized it immediately chased after Yuki.

Not long after, Kiran came and saw Yuki had been pierced by arrows and covered in blood. He also saw Lucien who was standing nearby thought that he had killed his best friend. With unbearable emotion, he changed his form and released his magic power. And went straight to attack Lucien. Lucien flew up to avoid it.

"It's bad," Lucien said.

The hidden attack made ice crystals pierce several parts of Lucien's body. He fell because hit his wing. Lucien tried to hold it back with his sword and was getting cornered. I can't bring out my lightning at close range with a storm of this magnitude. I will be hit by my attack. Then Lucien tried his best to break the wind with the power of his sword.

"Hiyaa!!!"

"I have to bring him into a tight spot," Lucien thought. Then, he tried to fly and endured the icy pain that pierced his wings.

Lucien then saw a large rock on the edge of the canyon cliff. Then with a swing of his sword, lightning struck the rocks and instantly hit the blizzard.

There was a huge explosion from these two great fighters. Due to the explosion, the avalanche toward Kiran blocked the road in front of it. Lucien immediately fled to avoid a meaningless battle.

With a sense of despondency, Kiran returned to where Yuki was. It turned out that Yuki wasn't dead yet. "K-Kiran..." Yuki said.

Kiran who heard it was surprised because his friend had not died.

"Please take me towards the castle. I-I want to see Zerath." She said it with a stutter. Kiran immediately brought Yuki to the castle.

Even though Yuki was dying. But she was determined in her heart to be able to meet Zerath.

Along the way, Yuki said, "Thank you Kiran..."

"Don't talk too much first."

"I'm glad to see you from here."

Yuki saw that Kiran had tears in his eyes, and she wiped.

"Sorry...I'm sorry...Kiran. May you live happily." Yuki tried to hold back her tears because she knew that she would be separated from him.

Arriving at the castle, Kiran laid Yuki down beside Zerath.

"Now I can see you one last time. I feel relieved now..." Yuki stroked Zerath's cheek with a smile and closed her eyes. Her last tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.

Kiran just stood there in silence. He took the lovers and buried them at the top of the castle where there was a big tree. He sprinkled white flowers as he said, "Rest in peace."

Ryana came out of the basement and met Kiran. Please take me to this castle tower while she was bringing some pink flowers from the newly bloomed tree. Ryana couldn't hold back her tears. She walked slowly towards the grave. Now she is in front of the graves of her parents. She put the flowers that she arranged on a mound under the tree.

Then from the side, Ryana touched and hugged the tree while saying, "Mom...Dad... I'm fine. I've been back home. Rest in peace." Ryana burst into tears.

The sky was slowly turning blue. Ryana looked at the land with the vast of snow. A gentle breeze swayed each strand of her long white hair. Now she knows that she is a daughter who has nothing. All that remains is this castle and the memories within it.

****

They returned to the crystal cave of Kiran's residence.

"Kiran, I thought, why don't I just die then?"

"Do not say that. Yuki has fought hard to keep you alive. Every being's life is precious, and she has fought for you."

"But do you know? When the foster mother who was the maid died, I lived alone. Even when underestimated, I accept it. Because little people like me cannot do anything against them. I prefer to remain silent and consider it a breeze. I had to live a hard life, but I didn't complain about it. However, when I learned the truth, I felt sad that I had lost my parents. I'm sad they killed innocent people. This sadness mixed with anger burns me."

Ryana couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She kept crying and crying. Kiran then hugged her.

"What should I do? It hurts... This heart hurts."

Kiran patted her shoulder to calm Ryana who was still sobbing...

After Ryana had calmed down from knowing the harsh reality, Ryana said, "Kiran, how did you know my mother? And when you introduced yourself, you said that you were a god from heaven. Besides, in the memories I saw through the tree in the cellar, you will return to heaven." Ryana's curiosity arose.

Kiran gasped. "T-This is going to be a long story."

"I'll hear it," Ryana replied with a faint smile. "I want to know you better. Because you have been important in saving us."

"Okay. It started from my life before being born in heaven."

At that time, there was a little girl in shabby clothes living in a small place in a corner of the suburbs. She lives alone. Once she saw cats around where she lived. She also feeds. At first, the cats were afraid of her, but over time they became friends. Among these cats, only one is finally loyal to her.

After a long time, this little cat finally grew into an adult cat. Sometimes this little girl feeds him, but this cat doesn't want to. It turned out that this cat wanted to play with her first after that he ate the food given by this girl.

Once upon a time, this little girl after feeding this cat, intended to take it out. At first, this cat did not move away using body language, but in the end, the child took the cat outside. Cats feel sad too. But after knowing what happened, this child went away for a few days for work. When this child came home after three days, she also found this cat lying stiff in front of the house.

Long story short, in the past, I was a street cat in small land and then I was born in heaven as a fox because of my loyalty and affection for the child. Not long in the realm of the gods, I also met this child again as a goddess who likes to play music. As she sings a song, the celestial beasts and other gods came to hear. The soothing and melodious song makes the hearts of those who hear it calm and cool.
