Chapter 7 - Dreinity, Princess of Aeros

Dreinity looked at Miilo who was kneeling in front of her in disbelief, how could the son of Star Knight aka The Star Archer, the heir to Sternhyst, the legendary Star Knight of Aeros that she had been looking for all this time, turn out to be Friks? Friks, the stupid and careless schoolmate who had confessed his love to her several times and she had rejected his love just as often. Not because Dreinity doesn't like Friks, but because, as Princess of Aeros, she has to put Aeros' interests first and complete her mission, which is to find the Star Archer Knight as soon as possible and ask him to return to protect Aeros from the Leburo evil plan, which is spreading more and more by days.

There is also a threat from space, a large planetoid that is about to crash into Aeros. As a descendant of the Legendary Knights of Aeros, the Star Archer Knight is the only person who can find Sternhyst and use his great power to protect Aeros and save it from this great catastrophe, but no matter how you look at it, Friks does not have the authority of a Legendary Knight.

Friks was just a stupid and careless child in Dreinity's eyes, even though she knew that Friks was a good teenager, but Friks' carelessness really ruined the image of the Legendary Knight that Dreinity had imagined all along. She often found Friks being punished by standing under the flagpole while saluting for not doing his homework, or coming to school late with his hair still disheveled and his crumpled uniform shirt unironed, which really did not reflect the Knight's blood flowing in his body.

Instead, Dreinity found her other classmate Deyva to be a more suitable as a Knight figure. Deyva is an intelligent and authoritative person, and Deyva's calmness and myriad achievements in the field of sports make Dreinity certain that the next Star Archer Knight will be Deyva, not Friks.

In fact, the existence of Star Archer Knights has always been kept secret to protect them from enemies who also seek out Star Archer Knights to kill.

But how could it be when it turned out that the next Star Archer Knight, the hope of Earth and Aeros from the total destruction predicted by the Astronomist clan, rested on the shoulders of someone as stupid as Friks? Dreinity was confused by her own feelings, although deep inside she was relieved that the next Star Archer Knights had finally been found.

"Princess Dreinity, it is time for you to return to Aeros and inform His Majesty that the Star Archer Knight will return to protect Aeros, His Majesty needs to know this as soon as possible!" Miilo's words broke Dreinity's reverie.

"Alright Miilo, will you go back to Aeros with me?"

"I can't go back to Aeros yet Princess, I still have a lot of things to do here on Earth, including preparing for the arrival of the Star Archer Knight!" said Miilo.

"Well then, do your job well and as soon as everything is settled, meet me in Aeros!"

"Yes Princess, then I'll take my leave," Miilo said as he stood up after stepping back a few meters.

Dreinity nodded as she prepared to return to Aeros. The homeland she left a few years ago with several people from the warrior clan, including Miilo, to find the whereabouts of the Star Archer Knight on this earth and bring him to Aeros. To do this, Dreinity had to disguise herself as a high school student, because Miilo had told her that the Star Archer might be one of the kids in the high school she was attending.

Miilo actually already knew how to find the Star Archer Knights because he was Friks uncle, but he wanted to protect the existence and wait for Friks readiness, which was marked by a dream about the Star Knight Clan. So he kept everything a secret, even from the Dreinity Princess of Aeros, whom he protected while on Earth, this being one of Miilo's duties as the head of the Knights guarding the Aeros Palace.

Miilo was indeed playing a double role, as guardian of Princess Dreinity as well as protector of the Star Archer Knight. It would be a waste if the Knight were found before he was ready, but Miilo could not refuse King Aeros' order to find the Star Knight, aka Friks, as soon as possible.

After Miilo left, Dreinity gave orders to her personal guards.

"Everyone, get ready! Miilo has found the Star Archer Knight and he will be coming to Aeros soon. We must go ahead and prepare for the legendary warrior's arrival!" Dreinity said with authority.

The royal guards of Aeros, who were now on earth as servants of the princess, nodded immediately.

"Yes Princess, we will pack up and tell the Guardians to open the dimensional portal so we can return to Aeros!"

"Good! We will return to Aeros tonight!" said Dreinity.

Dreinity already missed Aeros as the hometown she had left behind in search of the Star Clan's heir. The 44th generation Star Archer Knight.

"My father, King Aeros, will be overjoyed to hear that we've found the Star Archer. But Friks? Why should he be the Star Archer Knight? Can he bear the enormous burden and responsibility of being the Guardian Knight of Aeros?" Dreinity wondered. She had little doubt of Friks' abilities as a knight, especially when he had to face Leburo, who had now spread his terror to the dark side of Aeros. Thousands of cursed creatures and monsters had already been captured and spell curse to obey the servant of darkness.

"Besides Leburo, a planetoid is approaching Aeros. A threat from space, will the Friks be able to avert such a massive catastrophe?" Dreinity wondered again.

"After all, these soothsayers are never wrong. Besides, I'm sure that Miilo wasn't lying and that Friks is indeed the Star Archer, the one who was predicted to be the protector of Aeros and also to prevent a great disaster. Dreinity tried to be optimistic this time.

Dreinity sighed, she was determined that Aeros would not fall into the hands of darkness. Unlike on Earth, where science flourished as the main force of the planet. On Aeros, magic and other mysterious forces were the mainstay of the planet. The battle between good and darkness has been very real on Aeros from the beginning of time until now.

"If I didn't have the task of being a princess of Aeros, I would certainly prefer to live on this peaceful earth." Dreinity murmured.
