Chapter 45 - Recovery and Proposal

As both of them are hugging each other with Echidna's resolution for not killing him whatever it takes. She continued while she softly loosened her hug with her kneeling in front of young Lira,

"Master Lira. I heard that Asmodeus had been lost in the war."

Lira was shocked, then he said.

"Call Lex immediately!"

She bowed and rushed her way out to out from there.

As she ran, the interior where she ran had a luxury interior with paintings everywhere, and the Fire Metoria powered bulbs are everywhere facing adjacent.

Each of the Metoria costs thousands of Cigs, and that's the cost of a noble could be spent.

She ran towards the stairs that headed to the first floor.

The stairs are made from marbles with artistic three-dimension design on each of the step has a different pattern of it.

She walked down slowly as she has accidentally tripped thanks to her black colored high heel that was a gift from Jason.

And she reached the main hall that had Lex and Pharaoh, who ate the cookies served there.

She called them,

"Master Lex, Fina!!"

"Fina?" Pharaoh responded confusingly.

And she paused for a while.

Then she rejoiced, she called her.

"Echidna!!"

She rushed to run towards her as she stopped picking the cookies for Lira, and hugged her.

She felt familiar with the chilling aura, but she forgot where she sensed that as she has so many bitter memories.

And she said,

"Where did you go. Mama and sister aren't here anymore. I missed you.."

As she hugged her, Echidna had paid attention to her eyes that has a white could on it. She used her third metoria with a green butterfly coming out from her left finger that she was done it after she loosens her hug to her.

She casts the Metoria,

"Spirit Metoria: Heal."

The butterfly coming out from her left thumb finger reaches Pharaoh as it leaped to her left blurry eye.

It has flapped its wings twice. It recovered hers.

Echidna told her,

"Try to blink, my little beauty."

She blinked her eyes, initially that

she was barely able to see Lira or everyone close to her. But now, she can see it!

She has looked around others, seeing a magnificent view of the clan hall with her eyes that has the cloud on it slightly dispersed slowly, but sure.

She shouted to Lex,

"Master Lex!! I can see it!! Clearly!!"

Lex replied confusingly.

"Clearly?"

She nodded happily.

Lex then remembered that Lira did tell him that she has an eyesight problem that he must be close with yer nonstop.

And she had an insecure feeling that required Lira or Lex to be close with her.

Imagine that one of them wasn't with her. Then things will be different.

And the butterfly reached on her hip as she wore a white-brownish skirt with it flapping on her injured on her thigh. Healed it instantly.

It reached Pharaoh's back by flying through inside of her cloth.

And the butterfly flapped its wings triced, vanished in thin air.

"Now, my little beauty, you look much more beautiful now."

She said that happily, as she finally can see her face again.

A day ago, before she met them, she visited Pharaoh's twin sister's grave.

And she vowed for avenging her that led her to head to the headquarter without Lira's command.

And then, she told them.

"Let's go upstairs."

Two of them head to upstairs together with Echidna as Lira waited in the room for them.

As they reached the room, Lex asked him.

"You weren't that impatient, what happened, bro?"

Lira answered while he stood to see the cracked window in his room.

"Asmodeus's life is in danger."

Echidna nodded in agreement that then she commanded as she looked on them.

"Knights, Butlers, and Maids. You are all could leave now."

And the knight responded in her call, he said in a low toned voice.

"Is it fine? Lord Asmodeus commanded us to protect Young Masters and the fairy."

She sighed, and she said.

"His life is on danger now, deploy every single of clansmen to the West of the Laira Village. Right now!"

The knights are hesitant with her command, then Lira took his badge from his right pocket and threw the clan badge to her. He said,

"Echidna, command the armies."

She caught it, and she said.

"Clan Command! Deploy every single of clansmen to found Asmodeus, now!"

Both of them replied.

"Yes!"

And they moved fast to the first floor of the clan headquarter.

They moved at high speed as fast as a human's walk to reach the door.

They opened it, and they took the trumpet from their right hip.

Every knight in Richeolot Clan has a trumpet to giving a signal to each other.

And both of the knights had blown their trumpet to its limit.

The trumpet's voice itself had reached the whole Laira Village thanks to it as the signal of the call to arms.

Every clansman of Richeolot Clan who listened to that voice gathered to their own posts.

A loud single trumpet voice blew by two knights at the same time means there is a danger on the core person of the clan.

The voice itself heard clearly in Lira's room as he covered his ear with Lex covered him.

Echidna wore ear puffs that could give her a soundproof effect.

It had the color of snow, just like her main attribute of Metoria as Ice Metoria.

And Pharaoh herself had covered her own pointy ear.

The wall itself had slightly shaken during the strong shockwave from the trumpet.

As the shockwave and the voice is turned down, she proposed things as she bowed in front of Lira. She said,

"Allow me to command the armies."

He replied,

"Do whatever it takes of what you could do. Both I and Lex are only kids, we can't do anything. But you are an adult who could do what we can't do. Give us the expected result."

She responded in a clear and decisive voice.

"Roger!"
