Amira asked her husband, to tell where her child was. She also saw her husband's expression, which was reluctant to tell.
"King Ligt, I want to know where my son." Amira took off the crown on her head.
"…." King Ligt was surprised to see his wife taking off the crown on her head. And sat on the floor asking to be told.
"I'll tell you, but put the crown back on—"
"Not until the king tells him." Amira interrupted her husband's words.
"They, especially Vail, don't want you to know this, but to see your actions. I had no choice." King Ligt felt so guilty because his wife had humbled herself so much.
"They are in the territory of the giant wolf race, precisely in the forest of death. Or what we call the Ruga valley, there are also dragons there—"
"Amira?!"
Amira fainted when heard her husband's words about their whereabouts, especially their children.
One day later, Rema returned from academics because he received news that Queen Amira had fallen ill.
"Amira..." King Ligt held his wife's hand and felt so guilty.
"…." Rema, who saw that, felt so sad.
"I have to take my old brother home, so that mother won't be sad and sick. But how? I don't know where he is." Rema said in her mind.
"They, especially my older brother, should be sentenced to two years in prison because they made my mother fall ill."
She returned to her room and waited for nighttime to carry out the mission she had created, namely to get out of the palace, get out of the Gerna kingdom, and finally bring Vail home to be imprisoned.
"Stop, what you bring?" asked the soldier guarding Gerna's outbound transportation route.
"…." The fellow soldier checked the carriage from bottom to top except for the cargo, the soldier didn't know that there was princess Rema hiding under the blanket.
"Ordered goods to be sent to the port city." The merchant informed.
"Nothing suspicious." His colleague who checked told him.
"Tell your trading partners, not to take orders at this time of night." The soldier rebuked.
"I'll tell him."
"Okay, please go."
The trader was allowed to leave the city of Aldon and continue his journey towards the city of Ebit.
It takes one day to get to the city.
How surprised he was, realizing that Princess Rema's was in his horse-drawn carriage.
"Princess wake up, princess?" The trader tried to wake Rema.
"Give it another ten minutes." Rema thought was still in the palace.
"What are you doing, princess?" The trader tried to wake Rema up once again. And asked why.
"What noise, is it here yet?" Rema woke up from her sleep.
"How did you get in my horse-drawn carriage? What if the soldiers think I'm kidnapping you?" The trader complained about the problems that befell him.
"Putting that aside, where are we now?" Rema looked around.
"This is a port city, a city at the southern tip of the kingdom." The merchant informed.
"Uncle, do you know the forest of death? Or the Ruga Valley?" Rema wanted to ask about this because her father told her that Vail was there with Rii and Cini.
"Please don't get me caught in the law, princess. Just knowing princess is here makes me scared. What if a soldier sees and I tell--"
"If you don't want to, that's fine, I'll find out in my way." Rema got off the Kuta train. And ran away.
"Wait--"
"Excuse me, sir."
Two soldiers came to the merchant, to ask about Princess Rema who had run away from the palace.
"Why are there so many soldiers—"
Someone touched Rema's shoulder from behind, and Rema reflexively attacked that person but couldn't hit.
"Nice hit."
"You..." Rema was surprised because she saw the figure of the mask wearer again, for the second time since she was little.
"Why is princess sneaking around?"
"What business do you have to come to me?" Rema wants to know the reason, worried that she will be kidnapped.
"I'm not going to kidnap you, it's just that. You're such a petty thief, so I came straight to you. It turns out you were trying to avoid the soldiers."
"Then it's up to—"
"Wait!"
Rema asked the mysterious man to help her get out of the city, and the man immediately complied. But on condition, Rema is not allowed to bring it up or discuss it.
"We're already outside."
"This fast?" Rema was surprised by the person's strength, because she had not been in the city long. But now she is outside without taking a step.
"Who are you? Having power like this…" Rema was so curious about the mysterious person who helped her.
"I hope you continue to fulfill the promises you made previously."
"Then tell me your name," Rema asked and wanted to know the person's name.
"I don't have a name, but…a brave woman who freed me from my shackles has—"
"I only asked for your name, not to listen to your incoherent stories!" Rema was so upset.
"Ryu Ed Ivel."
"Ryu Ed Ivel? I just heard it for the first time. Do you want—"
"No thanks, and see you." A mysterious person disappeared from Rema's sight.
Rema didn't expect to be left alone. Because she was already halfway there, she was forced to continue her journey. On the way, she met a young merchant.
"What?!" King Ligt was surprised by the notification given by his soldiers from the city of Ebit.
"She ran away with a young man?"
"That's right, king, see where they are going. No doubt, they are heading south where the Ruga valley is." The soldier informed.
"Don't tell…" King Ligt had a bad feeling.
"Order some soldiers to chase him." The king asked the soldier to tell his other colleagues.
"Rema...why do you add to your father's burden after your mother?" King Ligt was so frustrated. He knew that the young man was only asked by Rema.
It became dark, and the two of them arrived at Talnar village. Decided to spend the night there, and continue tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon.
"Is it still far?" Rema was so curious.
What are you talking about? We haven't left Talnar village for long." Egi told.
"Knight Egi, as a royal princess. I apologize for getting you into trouble." Rema said regret was sincere.
"It's true that you have gotten me into trouble, as long as you promise to replace my carriage and explain to the king that's more than enough." Egi didn't mind and reminded her of the promise Rema had made to him yesterday.
From a distance, several bandits monitored Egi and Rema.
They continued walking until nightfall.
"Why are we stopping here?" Rema was curious.
"It's already evening, and the horses we're riding are already very tired," Egi said.
"Is there no accommodation up front?" Rema was so surprised by the relaxed Egi.
"Ahead there is nothing but tall trees, we have passed the last settlement. And that is Talnar village." Egi told.
"Is it possible that the princess doesn't know?"
"Of course…I don't know." Rema said so annoyed.
"Can I be allowed to hit you?" Egi was so annoyed with Rema's annoying nature and attitude.
"Just hit it, at least one of your hands will be gone," Rema says.
The next day, Egi raced his horse very hard. To avoid being chased by bandits.
"Hiya!"
"Run as much as you like!"
"Before we caught the rabbit."
All the bandits laughed at the jokes of their three comrades.
"Why are they so stubborn?" Rema was so annoyed and a little scared.
"What are you talking about? They did that because they wanted to catch you." Egi said and still spurred his horse.
"They seem to have heard about the royal princess Gerna running away," Egi concluded his thoughts.
When Egi spurred his horse back to run faster, an unexpected incident caught the two of them.
"….." The silent Alpha suddenly turned to look outside the forest.
"Is there something?" Rii was so curious.
"I heard the neighing of a horse falling," Alpha said.
"….." Ryzen used his powers to see what was happening.
"Hmm...it seems that what Alpha said is true," Ryzen tells the truth about the horse that fell.
"What you see?" Cini was also curious.
"A group of people were playing around with one young man and…hmm?"
Ryzen said that a teenage woman was wearing a royal crown.
"Haha...you can't go, Princess Rema, give up. We will all take good care of you, and ask that demon king to make up for it." The bandit leader said.
"Princess! Quickly run into the forest—"
"Don't spoil the atmosphere!" one of the bandit friends hit Egi until he fell back to the ground.
The four fellow bandits kicked Egi who was curled up to protect his head.
"Hey--"
"Damn, she even went into the forest." The bandit boss was annoyed.
"You all go in and chase that princess, quickly!"
"But boss, this forest is very —"
"You are more cowardly than that woman, remember our goal. If we get money, we can do whatever we want." The bandit boss informed.
Three of men entered the forest chasing Princess Rema's. They managed to catch up and catch Rema, because Rema's left leg was slightly torn due to falling so hard from the horse.
"Help!"
"Hahaha…no one heard you scream, beautiful girl."
"You two quickly catch her."
"Why are you bossing us around like a boss?"
"You don't need to ask too many questions, we are in the forest. And that means…"
His two colleagues understood what his friend meant.
The two bandits attacked Rema's legs, and one of the bandits' kicks hit a laceration on her leg. Rema's head buzzed because she fell so hard and her head hit the ground.
"Brother Vail." Rema's vision began to blur.
"Hoi, this woman is bleeding." A colleague who was holding Rema's left hand told him.
"Never mind, at least she was just surprised. You'll recover later, then I'll --"
The two bandits were silent in shock when they saw their friend's head split into two parts and fall from his neck.
"How dare you touch my sister." Vail was so angry, when he saw his beloved little sister being injured and injured by the bandits.
"You have dug up death."
"...." The two bandits released their grip on Rema's hands and left red marks on Rema's hands.
"Vail, let Rii and I take care of the rest. Rema needs recovery, before she loses any more blood." Cini told.
