A palace that floated above the clouds, with land and plains divided from an area that was old and seemed ancient. The walls and building ornaments were dominated by red and sapphire blue, as a symbol of the changing color of the Scutis star in certain seasons.
King Artesun stood at a high point, on the apex of the planetarium that was magnificently constructed several hundred years ago, during his reign. Around him was a circle of a glass of the highest quality, which was translucent, and difficult to penetrate by any attack.
His robe was sapphire blue, the royal attire was fiery red. His silver eyes had met his hair of the same color. A gust of wind seemed to be swallowing him gently because his wise soul was loved by the universe.
"King, are you still going to stand there for much longer? It's too late. You better get down and get some rest. The star of Scutis will continue to shine for the next few days. The red flame was still very strong, and there was no sign of any traces of blue shrouding it. It will still take a very long time." From below, Queen Lunanis, who was as beautiful as a lotus flower from the heavenly plains, had stood up somewhat anxiously.
Her body was slender and charming, various lights emanating from under her beautiful skin. Her silver hair moved in the darkness of the night, which was slightly lit by the star Scutis which still glowed red. At the end of her head was a vortex of tiny stars that glowed and formed a pattern. Then at the other end, there was the Platinus Nebula which crackled with various colors. So beautiful and cool.
King Artesun was still standing tall, looking up at the sky, especially at the star Scutis. It was a place where he frequently observed space for various purposes, including government purposes as well as Hexa's defense.
Not far from the planetarium stood another building, which was where the Hexodar Kingdom's rockets fly, to reach infinite space, or just to visit the stars in Hexa's orbit. Space travel was usually done every few thousand years, as a form of tradition to honor ancestors.
They would also throw the ashes of dead soldiers, dead kings, dead nobles in the area where the Platinus Nebula was located. This was done as a form of making it easier for the dead souls to immediately join other spirits and found a better place away from the impression of loneliness.
"It's been a few days and Aerus hasn't sent any news. I know he was mad when I scolded him. But getting out of the palace and going on a galactic journey without my consent is immoral." King Artesun amplified his voice, making it sound as though he was both loud and inviolable. He would display a strict and very disciplined impression, masking his worries about Aerus, even in front of his wife.
Late at night. His duty as the king was over. King Artesun, who was usually accompanied by a royal adviser, had now isolated himself at a certain angle. He did not allow anyone to approach, except for Queen Lunanis, his wife.
It was not easy to guess what was in the head of King Artesun, a king who was known for his wisdom but also for his discipline and skill in war strategy. He had a balanced soul, a cool head, and an almost flat facial expression. Unless he was angry, he wouldn't cover it up, or at least he rarely covered it up.
But behind all that, Queen Lunanis knew what was bugging her husband's heart. What made King Artesun still visit the royal planetarium even at his bedtime. This was all because of Prince Aerus, who ran away from Hexa without any prior notice. The worst thing was that there was no news from him.
Anxiety spread in various circles, including Queen Lunanis. However, as a queen, she had to face all situations calmly. She must not stir things up, and she must not get too caught up in her anxieties.
Queen Lunanis said, "Aerus is indeed too young to understand how to deal with problems properly. He is still so unstable and easily swayed. He is not very experienced, has a very stubborn stubbornness, and also a selfish attitude that he still can't suppress.
"I tried to direct all of that. I'm still trying to guide him, giving him simple examples in each of our conversations. I saw he started to have some progress although soon he returned to normal.
"Maybe he has a lot of thoughts that he's hard to get out of. He wants to get things done by himself, he wants us to trust him. He's very dependable, and you could see it when we gave him the task of leading the war on the eastern frontier five hundred years ago. He was so excited and was finally able to win the battle.
"I can also see, from my own eyes, that he has unique motivations within him. He wants us to give him full support, and that will give him the strength to do even better. I think we need to give him an equal chance. And I'm sure he'll be back soon with good news."
Queen Lunanis stood beautiful with a glow of light around her body. She was the princess of the Ferondum Kingdom, a kingdom that had an Elf line greater than the Ogus line in its blood.
Elves were fairies like most fairies, which were told in ancient literature as well as various inscribed inscriptions. While Ogus was a galactic wanderer, they were classified several levels below the Elves according to race level but were far above the human race. Ogus had a very high war spirit, had extraordinary physical endurance, and almost had the biggest knowledge to create something impossible for other creatures to create. They were assemblers as well as travelers.
"Aerus will be back. Right now he's just having so much fun with his trip that he forgot to send us news. I know he'll be sending word soon." Queen Lunanis' voice was beautiful. When the red light of the Scutis star hit her skin, it emitted a beautiful silver color. It was a contrasting change of color reflection, which only those of the clans who had more Elf stripes had in their bodies.
King Artesun did not immediately answer his wife's words. He just stood at the top of the planetarium, watching the starlight Scutis shone brightly. At these moments the Elfagos would experience the peak of mating. And that could happen to King Artesun and Queen Lunanis though. But not for that time, it all depended on Mirah burst of energy starting to activate in their respective bodies.
"Since that child is still too unstable, it would be natural for me to worry too much about him. I'm not worried about his safety because he's strong enough to fight. But I'm really worried if he takes this opportunity to run away and never come back.
"There are so many planets in this galaxy that will accept Aerus, who will take good care of him because he is the prince of Hexa because he is the sole heir of the Hexodar Kingdom. But how long will he run away? I think he's mature enough to know what duties he has. He is thirty thousand years old. It was time for him to have a child.
"I postponed his marriage to one of the princesses from the other side because I still convinced myself that he could naturally awaken Mirah energy in his body. But it seems my hope is just an empty hope. After he returns, maybe I will speed up Aerus' marriage to Princess Harya. I will immediately send a visiting letter to King Wade."
