At first, Prince Aerus still wanted to continue his intention to carry out the Hollo Promise with Lia. With Hollo Promise, if Lia broke her promise then she would die. However, because of Hamdi's strict prohibition and also because of Hamdi's relentless advice, finally Prince Aerus wanted to cancel his intention first.
"Prince, you can do the Hollo Promise. But at least you should try to see the progress of her quest. Oh, you don't even know her name yet, do you? You have to build trust by getting to know each other first. If the quest's progress looks good enough, I won't stop you from doing the Hollo Promise." Hamdi advised at length.
Prince Aerus initially did not like Hamdi's suggestion. "You have no right to give me advice. I am the one who has full power to decide things here."
"However, King Artesun has always given me the task of escorting you to find your bride or mate. Now you've found her, but you want to go down the fruitless path instead. You know that I can send information to King Artesun now." Hamdi's figure gleamed like silver jewelry.
Lia was still pressing against the wall, and her body was still bound by Prince Aerus' telekinesis energy, but now it didn't hurt her body. And again, Prince Aerus had already released his pinch from Lia's chin. Now Lia could listen carefully.
And to be honest, her eyes sparkled when she watched Hamdi. Hamdi was an Elfagos who was quite old. When compared to humans on earth, perhaps Hamdi was a man in his thirties, almost turning forty. His skin was clean, his face was friendly, his hair was short silver, and his clothes were white. If Hamdi's body was a little taller, maybe he deserved to be a prince rather than Prince Aerus, in Lia's opinion.
Prince Aerus snorted at Hamdi. "You better never mess with me." But even so, he finally gave up on doing the Hollo Promise with Lia because his safety was now in danger. Hamdi could indeed be very annoying on several occasions, even though he was one of the loyal Elfagos.
Not long after that Prince Aerus became a bit angry when he saw Lia who was constantly looking at Hamdi with adoring eyes. Prince Aerus clenched his fists, he almost punched Lia if Hamdi didn't stop him from coming back. All petty thoughts filled Prince Aerus' head including a plan he wanted to carry out to kill Lia in the future.
Oh, Prince Aerus! Are you going to kill Lia? Because what I can see is you will fall in love and even won't be able to pass a second without seeing Lia beside you! Watch out for your attitude if you don't want to be embarrassed in the future!
"Let her go, Prince! We have to have a good talk with her." Hamdi warned once more, and he's starting to get frustrated now. When Hamdi saw that Prince Aerus would still maintain his stubbornness, Hamdi was about to press a button on the elastic and transparent device that wrapped around his left arm. The tool that could be used to send information between galaxies. It was made in Hexa, a place where scientists could create great things.
However, Hamdi was relieved because Prince Aerus finally wanted to let Lia go. Lia's body staggered and almost fell on the floor, but she was able to support her weight by holding on to the wall.
"Human, we will have a nice talk with you now. You will know who we are, and what we will want from you." Hamdi spoke, he represented Prince Aerus.
At first, Lia wanted to run away again, but she didn't want to. After standing up straight, Lia nodded. Her head was lowered, and she was sweating profusely. "I… umm, come follow me. We have to find a comfortable place to sit."
Lia went to go to the living room which was in front of her bedroom door. However, before she could take two steps, two chairs in Lia's room were suddenly dragged away. Now, these chairs were under the feet of Prince Aerus and Hamdi, both of whom sat majestically on them.
Lia has frozen again. Her prediction had always been that Hamdi and Prince Aerus were not human, but she never thought that a surprising thing like this could happen over and over again in front of her eyes. Weren't they willing to act a little mysterious? At least it would save Lia's heartbeat.
With a bit of awkwardness, Lia was now closer to her bed. At first, she wanted to just sit on the bed, but when she remembered that the norm of politeness existed in her social life, Lia immediately went to the kitchen to take a chair. With some difficulty, Lia dragged the chair. Her tiny body seemed to be swallowed up by the volume pressure of it.
Prince Aerus snorted. "Look, Hamdi! I can't go on like this! She doesn't suit me." However, Hamdi did not respond to Prince Aerus' complaints at all.
"So do you want me to do something? I… I think there is looking like I still have some tea." Lia was now sitting on her chair. Her tiny figure made it seem like she was swallowed up by the two Elfagoses sitting in front of her.
"No need, thank you," said Hamdi very friendly. He probably wouldn't be that kind to Lia if Lia wasn't Prince Aerus' mate. However, many things had turned around and become a fact that was turned upside down now. Fate was playing tricks with them.
Lia became a bit awkward and at the same time relieved. Since the tea she offered might have gone stale because she bought it about six months ago. She opened the tea when some friends from the orphanage visited her.
"So I'll introduce myself first." Lia moved awkwardly back. Her golden hair occasionally fell and covered her pretty face, but her beauty was hindered by sadness and exhaustion from working too hard. "My name is Lia. I live here, and as I said earlier that I have no parents. I used to live in an orphanage, and never had foster parents until I grew up. I work in a cafe in this town. Do I need to mention the name of the cafe?"
Lia's question didn't matter to the two Elfagoses sitting in front of her. And to be honest, Hamdi and Prince Aerus were now looking at hee bored. Lia became worried if she had made a mistake.
Hamdi finally ended the tension and silence. "My name is Hamdi, I am a plane driver from Hexa, a planet located in the IC 1101 galaxy. And this man who is beside me is called Prince Aerus. He is a prince who lives in the Hexodar Kingdom, the largest and most powerful kingdom in Hexa.
"Our arrival here has a purpose because Prince Aerus needed to have children. Some unique conditions make him unable to have children. One of them is because Mirah energy in his body cannot be activated.
"Under normal conditions, Mirah energy will be active if the Scutis Star emits its Mirah energy, usually it can be marked with red color in its light. At that time the people in Hexa will start their mating season. However, Prince Aerus could never get Mirah explosion within his body even if Scutis Star was at the peak of its energy.
"Then King Artesun, our king, ordered Prince Aerus to embark on an intergalactic voyage to find his bride or mate. For us, the normal Elfagoses, Mirah energy can't only be awakened by our mate. However, King Artesun suspects that Prince Aerus has a unique condition that previously occurred millions of years ago, namely when the Mirah energy of an Elfagos, could only be awakened by his mate.
"In the history, I mentioned earlier, Elfagos' mate was still a citizen of Hexa. But it was different with Prince Aerus. Because Prince Aerus had already met all the women in Hexa, some women were deliberately invited and some came voluntarily. But all of them had failed to awaken Mirah energy within Prince Aerus' body.
"However, when we were exploring the galaxy again, Mirah energy inside Prince Aerus' body was finally awakened just as we were above Earth's atmosphere. That way I'm sure that Prince Aerus' mate comes from the earth. And that you can certainly know, because last night you guys slept together, something that only an Elfagos can do if Mirah energy in his body is activated. It is already proof that you are the one who can awaken Mirah energy in his body. And in other words, you are also the one who can give him offspring as well as become his mate."
