Chapter 72

"What are you doing here?" Trevas asked his brother in astonishment a few months after he last saw him.

"It's nice to see you again too" Alastor said before walking towards us and his two assistants followed him.

"Are you the representative sent by Firlame for the threekingdom alliance?" I asked as I looked him up and down. At first glance, I knew that she would love what she was wearing, especially the four rings she wore on her fingers.

"Ah miss Alissa, you look even more beautiful" Alastor greeted me with a smile and I grinned. I simply stepped closer to Trevas and held his arm but instead of being offended, Alastor's smile widened.

“Why are you here?” Trevas asked him before taking my hand that was on his right arm.

Alastor's face slowly became serious before he spoke. “Firlame sent me as a representative for the threekingdom alliance, I did not expect our trip to be long so we just arrived but when we reached the borders of Beifang and a few meters away we would reach Bauxacel I heardhappened in Plaza De Rinos the other day ”

"How did you become a representative of Firlame?" Trevas asked.

“When I left Beifang, I tried to go back to Firlame and get to know my mother's family. Fortunately, mama’s brother knew me as one of the ministers of Firlame so it was quickly confirmed that I was a member of the royal family and was accepted into the palace. Then they sent me to Bauxacel to represent Firlame but who would have thought that before I arrive, Psyche will suddenly appear and cause trouble? ” said Alastor before starting to walk and just passed us.

"Now tell me about Psyche" he said as he was our statue but Alastor just continued talking. "It's very widespread about Psyche, who lost a few years and when he reappeared, trouble started and killed the king of Bauxacel"

Alastor just kept walking into the camp without looking at us so we did nothing but follow him.

"You already know about it so why bother asking?" I said that's why he stopped walking and turned to us.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak but he suddenly stopped when he looked in mama's direction.

Alastor stood up straight before shaking his head, still not taking his eyes off mama. "Am I rolling my eyes or is Psyche really here?"

"I'm not Psyche, I just look like him" mama said sparingly before looking down at Alastor.

"Oh, my bad"

“Why are you here Alastor? The Threekingdom alliance will no longer continue because of what happened the other day so it would be better if you go back to Firlame ”said Trevas so alastor's attention was turned to him.

“I was just curious, why are your staff here? And why are they lined up outside as if preparing for an attack? Are you starting a war? ” alastor asked one question after another while looking at Trevas intently but neither of us answered his question.

“You know you will be in trouble when everyone finds out about it right? The Threekingdom alliance was formed to create unity between Beifang, Bauxacel and Firlame but why do you seem to be planning to start a war against Bauxacel? ”

"We are not starting a war against Bauxacel, our opponent here is Psyche-"

"Shouldn't Luke, the son of the king of Bauxacel whom Psyche killed, catch Psyche? Why do you need- ”Alastor asked before crossing his arm over his chest.

"Psyche is on Luke's side" I interrupted what Alastor was saying.

“How could that be? I heard that the whole Bauxacel was mourning- ”Alastor interrupted again but this time, it was not me who did it but the strong footsteps of Captain Jared who hurriedly walked towards us but he immediately stopped when he saw Alastor.

“You’re the representative from Firlame?” Captain Jared's voice was trembling and I noticed his hand was also shaking, different from Captain Jared who I knew was rude and always calm.

"Yes, why do you seem afraid of me?" Alastor asked with a laugh but Captain Jared ignored him and just turned his gaze to me and asked confused. “Where’s Lina?”

"Huh?" I asked not sure if what I heard was correct.

“Where’s Lina !?” he asked again, his voice getting louder which surprised me.

"We left her in our tent this afternoon" I replied and that's when I remembered that we left Lina alone even though she was sick.

"Who's Lina again?" Alastor asked but no one noticed him.

“What’s going on Captain Jared? Why do you seem confused? And why did you order everyone to get ready for the start? ” wrinkled when Trevas asked.

Captain Jared sighed, probably calming himself before speaking. “Lina talked to me earlier and she told me something that until now I still can't believe. He told me this morning that a representative from Firlame would arrive at sunset and an hour from there, Psyche's staff would rush to our camp. ”

I was suddenly horrified by what Captain Jared said and I felt the hair stand on my body and I knew I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. How did Lina know that would happen?

"I also didn't immediately believe it but to be sure I ordered everyone to prepare for the attack but the truth is I did it so that in case what Lina said comes true we are ready to fight." continued Captain Jared and I think it was thewe have the most sensible conversation since we met but unfortunately, this is not the time for conversation.

"Lina's statement that a representative from Firlame will come is true, so there is a high possibility that what she said about the attack by Psyche's staff will also come true, so maybe it's better if we prepare while there is still time." I said seriously and immediately agreedall.

“I will send personnel in the direction of the kingdom of Bauxacel to warn us once they see that there is an enemy coming” Captain Jared said.

"Alright, I'll stay here to make sure everyone is ready for anything that might happen" Captain Jared nodded to Trevas before walking away quickly.

Trevas turned to me. "Try to look for Lina and make sure she's safe then come back here to join us before the fight starts"

I nodded but before I could walk away mama held my arm. “I’ll go with you”

I stopped arguing and let mama come with me.

The magic seal has been removed from me and I can now use my ice element power and I can teleport so I didn't wait for mama and teleported to the tent we left with Lina but I was suddenly statuesque when I arrived. we theour destination.

In the middle of the dark inner tent I could see the three beds that would have been for the three of us, my mother, but not one of those beds had Lina lying down.

"Lina?" I looked around and hoped to see Lina but everywhere I looked there was no one else in the tent but me and mama.

I came out of the tent and the quiet camp greeted me. There is no light that lives and the only light that gives light is the light coming from the moon. There are a few names of personnel left here in the camp to guard but I did not focus on that but on finding Lina.

"Lina!" I called while hurriedly walking somewhere to try to find Lina.

I suddenly remembered Lina's condition before we left. She felt bad and there was a look of concern on her face. At that time, Lina probably already knew that there was a fight coming so that's how worried she was.

Then it hit me. Suddenly I stopped walking and clenched my fist. Is that why Lina forced mama to remove my magic seal because she knew it would all happen?

I felt the hairs on my body rise again before I resumed walking but before I could take a step I suddenly heard an explosion.

I looked at the source of that explosion and saw in the sky a red firecracker that brought fear to me.

From my experience fighting with Trevas when we were still in Beifang I learned the meaning of fireworks being sent into the sky. If fireworks bring pleasure to festivals, they bring fear to a war.

That red firecracker signaled that an enemy was coming and warned us to prepare for battle.

My fist clenched. What Lina said came true and I don’t know how I would feel about it.

“Lina… what else do you know?”
