That night, Barto rested, and the next day, he gathered a large number of people. The king's assistant went to fetch him before the presence of the king. Enzo delivered the letter personally and instructed him, "Make sure you deliver it to my sister and tell her that she will need help, but she will owe me a favor." "I will ensure your message gets through," Barto replied."My guardians will accompany you, and you can use a teleportation scroll to reach her more quickly." Barto met with Abril in Shader's village. When he handed her the letter, she asked, "How are things in Laios?" "There are no monsters, so the city remains closed, but it is clean. The merchants in the city have also been cleared out, and the king has opened the palace doors for those who have lost everything." "Although my brother is a foolish king, he cares for his people," Abril remarked. "That seems to be the case," Barto agreed. "Thank you for making this possible, Barto.Maya will be eternally grateful for your help." "Maya is my friend. I did everything I could to assist her, and she has done much for me as well." "Be sure to stop by the Guild of Information when you arrive. They can tell you which places are being attacked. The only area under threat is the northern part of the kingdom, where monsters have been sighted." "Thank you for letting me know. It's good to hear that not all of the kingdom is under attack." "If anything happens, I will inform you immediately." "Thank you again. I need to go now to post the letter.noveldramaMy brother asked me to read your help request, although he will owe you a favor." "Typical of Enzo, but it's good to know what I told you." Abril read the letter that Enzo had written, which spoke of sealed caves and the screams of those trapped within. It mentioned problems with monsters and a return to reality that seemed impossible. After what Barto had said, she thought that Cira was not in Laios but likely in Cosset, in the northern part of the kingdom, where all the monsters had appeared and where shadows of darkness lingered.She didn't know what Cira was doing, but she was determined to uncover the truth for her sister, even if she wasn't there to deserve it. The next day, Fay went to visit Maya and found her in the garden, taking a walk. When she returned, she was beaming with happiness. "What a sincere joy! I didn't expect to see you so cheerful," Fay exclaimed. "I always think the worst of people," Maya replied with a smile. Lissana was overjoyed to see Tarik. She dreamed of him, screamed, and stretched her arms out in excitement.Maya said, "I believe Lissana has missed Tarik." "I'm trying to get down to the ground, and he clings to my neck with great care," Lissana laughed. "Tarik is shy," Maya noted. "You are a precious little one. I am happy that you are happy," Fay said warmly. "And because of what you see, you also found yourself in a predicament," Maya teased. "So, we don't love you so much, or we will have a son," Cassian joked. Fay ignored Cassian's comment and turned to Maya. "Are you embarrassed?" "Yes," Maya admitted. "You've always wanted to be a mother. Are you ready?" Fay asked."No, I'll give birth to my daughter here," Maya replied firmly. "You know what that would mean, don't you?" Fay pressed. "My circumstances are different, so don't worry. It will be fine," Maya assured her. "I hope that's how it goes, because you want to give birth to your child here. Is that what's happening in the human world?" "Do you know anything about it?" Maya asked. "You had to go to a meeting on behalf of the fairy queen. There's something wrong. Our kingdom will be ravaged by darkness again." "Did you discover something?" Maya inquired."The eastern part of the kingdom of Cosset is being attacked by monsters," Fay explained. "You don't know what's wrong with the attacks?" "No, that's all I could gather. They weren't monsters close to our king, as he is still worried about the human kingdom. It seems the human realm is already carrying out this role." "Let's hope that everything ends well," Maya said. "Let us hope so," Fay agreed. As there was no place to sit, Maya settled into the soft soil, leaving Lissana on the ground.Fay, too, found it normal to rest there, as there were creatures that thrived in such natural surroundings. But Cassian frowned at the idea, especially since Maya seemed embarrassed. "Don't worry, little prince. For them, it's better than sitting on a hard and uncomfortable hill," Maya reassured Cassian. "Fay is right, Cassian. Stop fussing and sit still," he said. "We should have brought a blanket," Maya suggested, taking one from Cassian's hand. "I don't want to complain," Cassian said as he sat down. Lissana started to crawl toward Fay, wanting to be near Tarik, who was hiding."Tarik, you should be friends with the princess. Stop hiding," Maya encouraged. Tarik wanted to hide his face but peeked at the little girl who made him dream. His shy smile calmed as he slowly approached her, sitting in front of her and gazing at her. "I believe they will become friends," Maya said, watching them. "It's good that you are friends," Fay added. "It would be great if Tarik had powerful friends." Maya smiled knowingly. "I can see that you've been asking about Tarik since the day before.It's normal for Fay to want to know about her son's future." Fay took a moment to respond, stroking Tarik's head gently. "The realm wants Tarik to become his successor." "What?" Maya exclaimed. "Tarik is the new prince of the kingdom of the fairies," Fay clarified. "Is that what you want?" Maya asked. "I'm trying to take your place, but I don't want to until I say so," Tarik replied shyly.
