"Father, are you really sure you can do it? Maybe your body is still weak, maybe you still need to rest. Same to you, Mother," Prince Ravi said worriedly. "That's why we can even if you don't come anymore."
He had asked question earlier after question whether King Valor and Queen Amelia were sure to join us in the raid on Norland which is now led by Queen Emily. He couldn’t help but worry because of what had happened to their parents. King Valor had just recovered from poisoning while Queen Amelia sustained wounds due to the captivity of my ruthless Queen Mother.
"Don't worry, your Mother is feeling good about us. This time, we will not allow ourselves to not be together in this battle. We will be more confident that we will win because we have joined together and will work together to recover. our home.”
When our meeting was over we immediately prepared for the second war. We had enough rest and strength to dive again. It would be better not to prolong our invasion because that might be what my Mother would do in the palace. We might not be able to reach the palace if we don't attack sooner.
We had our swords and arrows ready, the same ones we used when the Lacandia soldiers rushed in. Fortunately, we didn't leave it behind, otherwise we wouldn't have used anyone to fight. These tools still have enough power because they also have power because they are owned by the nobility.
Before attacking, the Dear King had to do something with each weapon and arrow that we would use, so we quickly prepared it.
We lined up with our weapons and arrows to ask for a blessing from King Valor. As King, he has the ability to give a blessing that will serve as a protection for each person he blesses. This way, we would not be easily knocked down unless we were killed with poison. There is no resistance to the King's blessing when it happens.
Prince Ravi stood first followed by Prince Cozen. Prince Dern was about to stand up to line up even faster than lightning. I ran to get ahead of him in the line. I can't be the fourth in line because I'm sure I'll beat Prince Arsh because he's the last. There has to be a space between the two of us.
The loneliness I felt after our conversation earlier before the meeting still lingered. I was ashamed of what I said. I couldn’t help but express my feelings to him. I will avoid him as much as possible.
Because of my embarrassment, I did not wait for him to answer what I said, nor did I see his reaction. I just ran away from him to escape any possible reaction.
To this day I still avoid him. This is the best thing to do to prevent my feelings for him from deepening. I know I made the wrong confession but I feel better because I have released what I have been prevented from releasing for a long time.
Prince Ravi and Prince Cozen were finished when their Father King blessed them. I'm next. So I stepped forward and aimed my arrow at the Blessed Queen.
"This arrow I bless again to identify and protect whoever owns and will use it today. You too, Amity, one true child of mine, I bless to ensure your safety. Take my guide that will serve as protection against enemies. I am King Valor of the Kingdom of Norland and I bless you."
After King Valor removed his palm from my head, I bowed to him to receive his blessing. “I fully accept your blessing, King Valor. Thank you very much!"
I went to the side where Prince Ravi and Prince Cozen were waiting. Prince Dern is also about to finish. We are just waiting for Prince Arsh to rush to Norland and reclaim the whole Kingdom.
With the blessing I received from King Valor, I felt a strange strength come over me when the Dear King applied his palm to my forehead earlier. It is true that the blessing from the King gives strength and protection.
"Amity."
I turned to Prince Ravi, who had called me. It approached me with Prince Dern. I was surprised because they seemed to have something to say. After Prince Arsh’s confession of my true identity, the three of us have yet to talk. I'm still embarrassed to face them because they may not treat me the way they used to. I probably have done something bad and that will give a rift in the connection between the three of us.
“We want to say that we are happy to accept you despite your true persona,” he begins. "It is not an obstacle for us to treat you as an enemy just because you are the Son of the mortal enemy of our family because you have proven to yourself that you are different from your parents. You have a good heart to follow what is supposed to be done,” added Prince Ravi.
I didn’t expect him to say this. All I could think was that they would tell me and would hesitate to believe me as they had reacted to their brother Prince Cozen.
“At first, I didn't regret being your friend. You are a very good friend, Amity," said Prince Dern. He smiled at me. “Ravi is right, you are different from your parents. It's a good thing you didn't inherit their bad behavior.”
They smiled for two reasons for me to smile too because of the overjoy. The first Prince I admired and the first Prince I met in this world, they accepted me despite my true persona and the cover-ups I made. Even though I’m not the real Amity, I’m still happy they accept and forgive. They also seem to have forgiven Princess Amity for her past actions that affected the fall of the Kingdom of Norland.
"Are you ready?" We turned to King Valor.
They finished blessing Prince Arsh who was currently by his side with Queen Amelia. We are ready to attack!
The three of us walked to approach them. "Yes, Father. We are ready," Prince Ravi replied.
"Then let's get started." What King Valor is referring to is the last bullet we will use against Lacandia. This is said to be the most powerful weapon we will use. It is said to be capable of overthrowing Queen Emily from her throne.
I can’t wait to start!
The Queen Mother was the first to lay a hand among us. That was followed by King Valor. Prince Ravi has also laid his hand on the hand of Father King. There is also no hesitation that Prince Cozen raised his right hand. I expected when I would be the next to lay hands but Prince Dern preceded me, it seemed like it even meant to precede me. Prince Arsh and I are the only ones waiting for them. The two of us looked at each other at first but it didn't take long because I avoided them immediately. I took a deep breath before finally applying my hand to Prince Dern, I could do nothing. Whatever I avoid, if there are things I can’t control, I still can’t do anything. Finally, I felt Prince Arsh's soft hand again. His hand makes me feel safe whenever I'm with him.
We felt King Valor straighten up so we also adjusted and focused on what he wanted to happen. He has already explained what we should do in this matter.
“I am Valor, the acknowledged King and Father of the Kingdom of Norland, who now command the guardians in every power I have bestowed upon my Sons that at this time, come forth and unite to be more we are fighting hard for the recovery of our home, of our Kingdom against Lacandia! " He spoke those words emphatically and authoritatively.
Moments later, my mouth fell open because of the various lights that appeared in front of us. Those lights came right from the hands we lay on. That is perhaps what King Valor once called the guardian of our powers.
Amazing!
They also flew in the air for a few seconds. That light is a different color that symbolizes every power that each of us possesses. They are seven colors: gold, white, brown, gray, blue, orange and violet. All of us here symbolize those colors.
"It looks like the guardians are still waiting for something," King Valor wrote.
They are still not united and still remain in front of us.
"You're right, Father. They're waiting for something and it's coming." Prince Ravi looked in one direction, the direction where we buried Prince Nesh. When we looked at it, my hair stood up because of the red light approaching us.
"It's Nesh!" ejaculation of Father King. "The guardian of the power of the youngest Prince."
I couldn’t help but cry. Every guardian is now united in the power of the family formed by King Valor.
We heard someone sobbing.
Smiling but with tears streaming down the Queen's cheek as we looked back at her. "In this battle, we are still with your brother who has passed away. He wants to convey that we will completely fight for our Kingdom. Nesh is with us in this battle!"
The red light is finally closer to the other light in front of us all. You can see they really have a life of their own because they form a circle as we surround them as well.
My eyes narrowed because of the excessive light and glitter that prevailed all around.
That light stayed on for a few seconds and when I opened my eyes, the guards were gone.
"We have won to unite our powers. There is a good chance that we will regain the Kingdom by the time we release our last bullet and that is the unity of the guardians."
"Then, Father, let us hasten to take back what is due us." We all nodded at what Prince Ravi had promised. "For our Kingdom, for Nesh!" he added that it gave us all the courage to be more determined.
We faced the tunnel at the same time. The King and Queen entered there first, followed by Prince Ravi, Prince Dern and Prince Cozen. I no longer waited for Prince Arsh, I started to step forward but as he often did, he suddenly passed my hand again. I looked at our holding hands before looking up at him.
He didn't stop me but started to walk with me. We crossed the tunnel into the palace together.
"Get ready! Let the Dear Queen know that we are being attacked by the former King and his Princes," shouted a soldier as we stepped into the palace.
It was dark all around. It is not night but why does darkness seem to have engulfed the whole Kingdom? The formerly clear sky is now covered with black clouds.
Other Lacandia soldiers are currently exchanging swords with Prince Ravi. All the soldiers they encountered were immediately knocked down.
The Princes are stronger now.
"Zariya, don't leave my side if you can," said Prince Arsh.
Prince Cozen and I were behind us so there weren't too many soldiers to get close to the two of us.
"Why? I also have to fight, I can't just follow you."
"I want to ensure your safety until the end of this war. We will win this battle so nothing bad can happen to you."
Why was my first thought about my mission what he wanted to convey in what he said? That I have to live for the time we win the battle so that I can return to my world.
I just devoted my full attention to using the arrow to help reduce the troops. I'm still next to Prince Arsh and he looks really serious about what he said earlier that I need to be just next to him.
"Arsh, use your sword now. The troops are increasing," Prince Ravi shouted.
I did notice that the number of troops did not seem to be decreasing. There is always a replacement for those who come. The news must have reached Queen Emily because I could already see her on the balcony of the third floor of the palace, staring at us now.
"Hold on all of you," Prince Arsh reminded. It grabbed my hand again.
He immediately buried his large sword in the cement. In an instant, all of Lacandia's soldiers fell down. Prince Arsh's sword is so powerful!
We took it as an opportunity to get permanently inside the palace. There were still soldiers left inside but we didn't have a hard time knocking them out either.
Lacandia's fight is weak now and in my opinion, they did not expect our immediate attack because they were not prepared.
The King and Queen have already entered. Prince Ravi followed there, while Prince Dern and Prince Cozen remained outside to face the other soldiers left.
I noticed Prince Arsh staring straight inside. Does he want to follow them?
"Follow them, Prince Arsh," I said.
He turned to me. "But how are you? The opponents inside are very dangerous."
"I'll just be left here with Prince Cozen."
He’s right, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to face the remaining opponents inside. I am not as strong as the King, Queen and the Princes.
"I can't leave you, Zariya."
"But the whole Kingdom needs you more, Prince Arsh. I also want to regain the palace and restore its peace," I pleaded.
Norland safety is my mission. My return to the modern world depends on the return of peace to the whole Kingdom.
"But promise you will be careful. I will do this to recover the palace and for you, it will all be wasted if you are not careful."
I was really surprised by what he was saying. Why do I feel he knows something about my mission?
"Again, be careful, Zariya." He kissed my forehead before turning its back on me.
To this day, he still calls me Zariya, my real name.
Do you know anything, Prince Arsh?
I was in deep thought and lost my temper when someone shouted very loudly.
"Amity!"
It was too late before I could avoid the arrow hitting my chest.
I didn't know what happened next because my vision had darkened and I just felt my body fall on the hard cement.
