Karil: "Wait!"
Kazaris frowned and said: "He's stuck up there like a kitten."
Suddenly, Karil jumped down and landed on his feet.
Kazaris quickly went to Karil and said: "What are you doing?!"
Karil stood up and happily said: "I just used some kind of magic!"
Kazaris: "What do you mean?"
Karil looked at his hands and said: "I was floating in the air for a few seconds."
Kazaris grabbed Karil's wrist, carefully examined it, and said: "Strange, not even a scratch."
Karil smiled and said: "I've been practicing a lot. I wanted to show you."
Kazaris ruffled Karil's hair and smirked: "Well done, my good student. You've learned very well."
In the palace:
King: "Cythia, you went out of the palace again without my permission."
Cythia: "Sorry, father, but I really want to see that festival."
King: "You are a princess. Many enemies might use this opportunity to attack you, especially at night. Please understand me, Cythia."
The king was sitting on the couch with a frown, crossing his legs and resting his chin on his hand, looking at Cythia. Suddenly, Cythia knelt in front of the king and, holding her hands together, said: "Please, father, I promise I won't cause any trouble. Please let me go to that festival!"
The king said proudly: "What I've said is final, don't talk about it anymore."
Cythia stood up and said sadly: "Alright, I won't talk about it anymore."
Cythia was about to leave the room, but suddenly turned to the king and said: "By the way, I saw a boy with red eyes today."
The king said in surprise: "Red eyes?!"
Cythia: "He was about my age, a bit shorter than me."
King: "I see, I'll take care of it myself."
It was almost dusk. Karil and Kazaris came to Lyotan and Tanita.
Tanita: "Why are you so late?"
Kazaris: "Sorry, Karil was really excited, I couldn't stop him."
Lyotan sighed and said: "I was worried you wouldn't come back."
Kazaris got angry and said: "Who do you think I am?!"
Lyotan smirked and said: "A mischievous troublemaker."
Kazaris got angry and said: "Who are you calling a kid?!"
Tanita: "Interesting, you didn't get upset about the mischievous and troublemaker part."
Karil: "Don't fight, be friends!"
Kazaris and Lyotan crossed their arms and frowned at each other.
Tanita: "Let's go, the fireworks are about to start!"
Tanita quickly went up a big hill and stood by a wall, placing her hand on the brick wall.
Kazaris looked at the scenery and said: "I don't see any fireworks."
Lyotan: "Wait a little longer."
Suddenly, the fireworks festival started. Fireworks exploded in the sky.
Tanita, with enthusiasm, said: "How beautiful!"
Kazaris was captivated by the fireworks and said: "I've never seen anything so bright in the sky before!"
Lyotan: "I didn't think you'd like these things."
Kazaris: "Who do you think I am?! Well, I have feelings too!"
After a while, Tanita went and stood next to a tree.
Kazaris looked at Tanita and said: "Why did she go?"
Lyotan: "Let her be alone. When she gets excited, she can't control herself and goes to a quiet place."
Kazaris: "I see, so Tanita is shy."
Kazaris came to Tanita to talk to her.
Kazaris: "Are you always this shy?"
Tanita: "Well, I was always imprisoned in a castle. As the king's knight, I was never allowed to have any hobbies."
Kazaris: "You're a knight?!"
Tanita: "I was one of the strongest knights in my land. The king raised me to think of nothing but war."
Kazaris: "That's not fair, you were just a girl!"
Tanita: "When I was a child, I was alone and poor, I had nothing. The king gave me food and shelter. In return, I and many others had to serve as soldiers in wars."
Kazaris got angry and said: "How dare they treat their own people like this?! I swear I'll kill every one of them and take revenge for you and your friends!"
Tanita looked at Kazaris and said: "Karis, you're not a child, are you?"
Kazaris thought: "Damn, I got too emotional and didn't realize what I was saying!"
Tanita: "Who are you really?"
Kazaris put his hand on his forehead and said: "Tanita, if I tell you the truth, you'll get angry and kill me."
Tanita smiled and said: "I promise I won't get angry, so tell me who you really are."
Kazaris transformed into his demon form and said: "I am Kazaris."
Tanita was shocked and said: "What?! A demon has been living with us all this time?!"
Kazaris unbuttoned his shirt and showed the mark on his body to Tanita.
Kazaris: "Lyotan sealed my powers, I can't hurt anyone anymore."
Tanita: "But you—"
Soldier: "This child has red eyes, he's a demonic sorcerer!"
The soldiers wanted to attack Karil, but Lyotan used binding magic to trap the soldiers and prevent them from attacking Karil.
Kazaris: "What?! Karil!"
Kazaris quickly went to save Karil.
Kazaris flew swiftly toward Karil to save him.
"Run away, he's a demon!"
Soldier: "That's Kazaris, the demon with golden eyes!"
Lyotan looked at Kazaris and said: "You fool, don't show your true form to everyone!"
Karil ran to escape, but suddenly several soldiers came toward him to kill him.
Lyotan shouted: "Karil!"
Kazaris thought: "No! It's too late!"
Suddenly, Tanita appeared with a red sword, rushing towards the soldiers to protect Karil.
Tanita angrily shouted: "Stay away from my child!"
Tanita summoned magical roses with her hand. The thorny roses wrapped around the soldiers' bodies, trapping them.
Tanita grabbed Karil's hand and said: "This won't last long, we need to escape quickly!"
Lyotan: "Tanita!"
Lyotan ran towards Tanita and Karil.
Tanita: "I'm fine, but we need to leave quickly!"
Kazaris flew to get a better view from above.
Kazaris: "If we go through the forest, no one will find us!"
Tanita: "I'll distract them, you escape quickly and head to the forest!"
Lyotan picked up Karil and quickly went to the forest with Kazaris.
Tanita scattered rose petals everywhere. The intoxicating petals were irresistible for the soldiers.
"What is this?!"
"Why are the soldiers fainting?!"
Tanita smiled and said: "Mission accomplished, it's time to go home."
