"But who would have known they have rooted so deep in our land, Rick? Even someone like me had no idea they even existed! It was a mistake, yes, but we can only learn from it and do a better job next time!"

"Next time, Carol? Next time…? You want there to be a \'next\' time?"

-Crrrrrrrr…

Sound of glass slowly breaking down resonated.

"I did Not mean it like that! You know that as well!"

"But you surely said it, did you not? Why would you even say it?!"

"You are just angry right now, Rick! Please stop and calm down!"

"How can I calm down, Carol! It has only been weeks and we are in this situation! The mighty Lakmer! If it weren\'t for the help of Empire and the trustworthy people supporting us, we would have fallen already!

How can you not understand the severity-"

"Shut the hell up, you dumb president."

-Slap!

She slapped him.

The sound of that slap echoed all across the room as well.

"I know what is happening, I know what might have happened and I for a Damn fact know what is happening in this country!

I understand your frustration, that anger and sadness but you cannot take it out on me!"

Her voice was strong… in that moment, it seemed even stronger than his.

"Carol!"

-Ooooooooooooooong!

-Clank!

-Crrrrrrr….!

-Shattttttttttr!

He was angry… he lost control at that moment.

As a knight [King] his strength was nearly transcendent.

He was strong and one of the calmest people of that nation as we knew, however, his anger destroyed the entire room they were in.

"Maverick Galar Lionborn."

But she stood there, and just endured the tremendous pressure that no normal human could ever withstand with only their willpower.

She was strong.

"You cannot shout like that before your WIFE!"

So strong that just the voice that contained no power, no special energy behind it reached the deepest depths of his heart.

-Swiiiiiiiiiish…

"I… I apologise. I didn\'t-"

"It\'s alright."

-Slap!

She slapped him again.

Harder than the last time.

"Whatever. Let\'s focus on the problems before us."

"Yes…"

He did not mean to. Never before this one person at least.

But his emotions got the best of him this time.

-Slap!

"Don\'t you dare talk to me like that ever again."

And he is certainly going to pay for this mistake for a few coming days.

"Yes…"

"Good. So… we were at… hmmm… right. The preparation for the upcoming war."

They seemed to be working on something very important from how there were countless pages scattered all across the nearly destroyed room.

The map on the wall, with some specific countries of this world marked with a red triangle, foretelling a dark and mysterious tale.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish…!

What we were seeing vanished, and a new scenery appeared before us.

"How the hell did we end up in a situation like this, Rain?"

"How would I know that, Ora? Don\'t you usually deal with matters aside from the concerts and music?"

"No one deals with matters that they have no knowledge of, dummy. How would have I known we would be dragged all the way down here?"

The silver sky and the sky\'s handler… Her mom and dad who had gone missing while returning from their trip to the Eastern Kingdom of Lanier. They were under the water right now, following some merfolks to what appeared to be the grand palace of the underwater city.

They were cuffed and they looked concerned.

His clothes were torn down as well, and there seemed to be signs of struggle.

He wasn\'t looking good… and from they way they were being dragged with tens of mersolders surrounding them, it did not look like a good thing.

"What do we do now, Ora…?"

"What else other than begging for forgiveness."

Sweat was covering her head even though they were under the water… it certainly was no good situation.

"Why did I have to go overboard with that thing and cause-"

He was about to say something…

*

-Swiiiiiiiiish…!

But what we were seeing changed once again and this time, something more concerning than water appeared before us.

{ "Muhahahahahaha! With this! With this we will conquer the west!" }

It was hell.

{ "Lord pope would be pleased! Kehahahahahahaha!" }

There were demons.

{ "Lord Bishop-" }

There were Rakshasas.

{ "Silence!" }

-Oooooooooooooooooooong!

-Pu-tchak!

-Thud.

And there was a crazy person that popped the head of a Demon just because speaking out without their permission.

{ "Inferior creature. Puti!" }

A spit as black as filth came out of his mouth, landed in the corpse of the demon, and burned it with an invisible fire so hot not even the ashes of the physical body remained.

{ "Muhahahahahaha! Do you see this, everyone! This is the key to our victory over the west! Our victory against those empires, those foolish kingdoms and that one half dead nation called principality! Not even the Theocracy can stop us now! Muhahahahahaha!" }

This was hell. There was fire spewing out of the ground.

The sky was red, there were no clouds either.

A thick filthy energy, demonic energy as they call it, saturated the atmosphere.

Lava was coming from the ground, there was a castle in the middle of this hell, in its front yard was a podium and standing on this podium was the mad man even demons present all around the castle feared.

There were people, creatures standing before him wearing the same kind of white robes with golden embroidery, as well as the red masks with one to six silver stripes.

{ "You! How does this look like to you~?!" }

The lunatic was holding a strange object, most probably an artifact that resembled a complex ancient clock.

It was difficult to clearly tell what this object with a clock\'s face, a key, and those three strange orbs was exactly, but the way he carried it, the way it his dark eyes behind that masked gleamed, to the way he admired it… it certainly seemed to be a very important object.

{ "Magnificent, your holiness. Simply ineffable." }

{ "Right! That\'s right~! You lowly ass minions could never comprehend the greatness of this Dial!

Muhahahahahaha!" }

He so naturally insulted the six striped person that every single person other than him just nodded subtly as though they had known this would happen.

It was a strange scene that was quite difficult to comprehend for us, however, we did not have to witness this hellside gathering any longer.

{ "With this, the order will conquer-" }

*

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish…

The scene vanish from before us, and this time, instead of a new scene appearing… darkness shrouded the view, and the consciousness returned to this body.

"Mmmmmm…"

Master woke up.

And we seemed to be fine overall.

…

"Rise and shine, sleepy head."

A voice I had longed to hear during all the commotion that had been happening in Hiraani, a voice that was away from us… from me, for what seemed to be eternity, her voice… I heard it even before I had opened my eyes.

"Sleeping for the entire night sure was fun for you, hun? Bastard."

And after hearing those warm curses, as well as sensing her rough hand on my forehead… I had no need to get up anymore.

"You\'re back…"

"No I\'m Reinelle, your soon to be wife."

"Ptfff… of course you are."

I hadn\'t even woken up and she was making me laugh already. This dumb little witch…

"Right? Then why did you call me Back? Did you hurt your head, darling? Has your absurd memory finally become normal?"

"Shut up you idiot…"

What can I do but laugh when she was saying all that in that cute voice, as if she was mimicking Anna.

"Hehehe. You\'re laughing so it means you\'re fine enough for this."

"For what-"

-Slap!

"You idiot!"

Somehow, I saw this coming.

Her slaps to me were much more common than Lady Carolina slapping Master Maverick with that furious look.

"Why the hell would you do that?!"

She wasn\'t crying, yet.

But the way she punched my arms while shouting most certainly broke a few of my bones.

"Are you fucking out of your mind?! Have you forgotten how to select your opponents?!"

She was going to slap me again, with actual force behind her slap, and I knew this one was going to hurt, so, I grabbed her hand right when it reached my face.

"Rein."

She was going to use her other hand now that I had grabbed one, but she also knew I knew she would do that.

-Purrrr…

But she still tried to slap me, and I grabbed her hand, pulled her closer, and ultimately… she ended up beside me on this soft bed.

"I did what I thought was right at that moment… and I failed. That\'s all there is to it."

"You could have DIED!"

"Shuuuu… don\'t shout. I haven\'t gone deaf just yet."

I do understand why she is like this, and I certainly accept my mistake.

He was too strong of an opponent and I misjudged the extent of his powers.

\'It was my mistake and I do deserve the curses and her anger.\'

But nothing still happened to me…

\'I would have died if that bastard wanted to kill me, at least I would have been injured very badly, but since Lucy did not overtake and things just ended within moments, I don\'t think anything noteworthy happened to us.\'

At most, we were put to sleep without our wills and seeing as how I was still in one of the rooms of Hiranni, it doesn\'t seem like a lot of time has passed.

\'We were just sleeping… thankfully.\'

Looking her right into the eyes with teardrops at the end of my eyes… I hugged her. Tightly.

"I… was afraid…"

I didn\'t have enough words to describe what I had went through in that short time I fought against that damned thief, but I remember one emotion I had felt in my last moments…

"It… was scary, Rein…"

I didn\'t know what to do in that situation.

My mind was blank.

It was strange but… for the first time after the early days of my time in the forbidden forest… for the first time after meeting Celes… it was the first time after a long, very long time… I felt alone.

Completely isolated from every single thing that exists in this world…

"It was scary…"
