The Solaris Duchy was quiet that night as everyone already went to their rooms, Helion already went ho, but Flaar was unease.
He was worried that sa thing might happen from the past. The chaos, and the deaths of many people that he witness.
Flaar looked at the sleeping Acantha, He will protect her in this life which he had failed to do in the past even if it will cost him his life.
He wouldn’t let her face the battle alone.
___________________
Acantha woke up early as they were going to prepare to go back to the north to talk to Elida, her father won’t becoming with her as the Emperor has a sothing for him to do, he will just go there after he finishing what he need to do here in the capital.
She also learned that her father got many mana’s that the fairies gave him when they left the north which helped the market to be fixed in no ti.
Everyone in their empire was mourning for their lose, Acantha wanted to mourn for them too, but she knows she doesn’t have much ti.
She was now walking on her way to the dungeons to secure more the place as she doesn’t know if soone will attack their place.
Every ti she uses her powers it seems like she was learning more on how and where to use it. It feels like she has been using it for a long ti.
She saw the knights who were watching the cell where they put the monster, she perford her powers and put so barriers again, and this ti the only person who can use power inside the cell was only her, not the monster, not anyone.
It’s not like she didn’t trust other people, but sothing was telling her to do that and she did.
She looked at the knights who were guarding and watching the cell as she left the place and went to the door.
Acantha was surprised to see Helion with his n who seems to be waiting for her.
"What are you doing here?" Acantha asked as he frowns at him, she looks at his side and there she saw Ernie again and she rolled her eyes at him.
She still hasn’t forgive him for betraying her and being Helion’s spy inside their house.
"Just like what I told you last night, I will co with you," He said casually as if I have no says to it, but I don’t rember him saying that to , did he?
"I don’t rember, " I said as I shrugged my shoulder, and he just smirks at .
"You must forgot about it," He said as he turn his back on to face his knights.
"We’re travelling through the mana stones that the duke lend us," He said as he shows them the stones.
Helion turns around her again and looked at her," Let’s go" He said as he offers his arms for her which she ignores.
Damned it! What happened to her plan on avoiding him, and Noraya if he keeps on appearing in front of her like a mushroom?
Why do they need to use the mana stones if they can just teleport theirselves their? Oh, she forgot that unlike those people who were blessed with powers people, and knights relay their magic on mana stones.
That’s why the mana cave where they discovered in the north was the one that Noraya and her family was chasing from that place, they thought that the cave was the one who naturally had those manas where in fact it was the fairies who made those and infuse with their own powers.
She left him there standing and walks her way to Mildred and Flaar who were waiting for her, they she gets on Flaar’s back as Helion uses the mana stones to teleport them.
------------------------
Acantha along with Mildred and Flaar landed on the Klartis Duchy, she frowns when she didn’t see Helion and his knights with them.
"Where are they?" She asked as she looks around to see if there was just a problem.
"I forgot," She heard Flaar says as she was still riding on his back.
"What do you an, Flaar?" She asks him, while still looking if there’s any traces of the n that they were with.
"I put a barrier on the whole place," Flaar said which made Acantha’s head to explode
"What?!" She exclaid as she couldn’t believe what he said . The whole Klartis? damn the whole place was big how can he just casually put a big barrier around the place?
"Yes, this is my way of protecting my old friends, as Elida ntioned last ti that soone has been eyeing this place and was also using a dark magic," Flaar explained as he runs with her and they left Mildred who was also surprised when Flaar just runs.
This is the first ti that Acanth saw the whole place, it was different from what they always tell how the North looks like.
The place was not as barren as they always described, they pass a small empty village and Acantha saw how huge those house even if they were already ruined.
The place looks haunted though, base on the story she learned from Mildred, the north was attacked by Tenebrisaya empire and the attack cause most of the people who live here died on that night where they didn’t expect that they were be attacked after having so truce on that kingdom.
Acantha looked at sky as the wind was flying her hair, this air was different from the air in the capital , the air in the north feels like it was brushing her problems away.
Flaar was running fast that they reached the border not long.
"What happened? Why can’t we get in? Why are already inside the north?" Helion asked continuously as soon as they reached them.
"Easy, okay? take a breath, " Acantha said as she gets down from riding Flaar as the latter was going to let the knights and Helion in.
The knights were amazed when Flaar was doing his magic, while Helion was just looking at him without any emotions on his face.
Helion was the one to enter first when they were allowed to go inside the place.
"What did just happened?" Helion ask as soon as he reaches her.
"Flaar puts a barrier in here as soon we left the place as he was afraid that the place might get attacked," Acantha explained as she hops on Flaar’s back.
"Why don’t we just use the mana stones to go to the duchy? it works here before," Helion said, as he gets so mana stones from the small bag that he was holding.
"No. that won’t work for soone who doesn’t have Klartis blood," Flaar said as he looked at everyone as if he was trying to warn them that they cannot use any magic here .
Acantha saw how Helion sighed and when she roams her eyes to the other knights she saw that Jarnus hit Ernie on his head.
"Why can’t we use any powers or magic in here?" Ernie said as he was scratching his head where Jarnus hit him.
"This is to protect the place from being attacked and from defiling this place which already happened for the past few years as I had a hard ti cleansing the place, " Flaar said, which made Acantha looked at him.
Cleansing? When did Flaar cleanse the place?
"Elida helped in cleansing this place by supporting my power as my power hasn’t still recovered from being asleep for so many years, and my power got exhausted from-" Flaar said as he looked away.
Oh, maybe that’s why Flaar hasn’t uses any of his power that much yet when they were fighting the monsters, because his powers got exhausted by giving her so of his energy to wake her up.
"Here, let have it." Acantha said as she gets the bag of mana stones from Helion, and did what she saw Helion and her father did.
_______________________
Only seconds when they reach the front door of the Klartis palace and Acantha can see that Mildred was also waiting for them there.
"My lady, Your Highness" She greets her, and Helion when they get near her. "The lunch had been prepared My lady," Mildred said as she looks at everyone who was behind her.
Everyone followed when she walks inside the house to eat her lunch as she still hasn’t eaten her breakfast yet.
The knights went to the dining room too, and they all eat their lunch together quietly.
After they eat Acantha decided to take a break first, when Helion went with her.
"Where can we find Elida?" He asked as he settled next to her,
"Elida was in the forest," Acantha said as she looks at the sky.
"The magical forest?" Helion asked as he looks at her, and Acantha didn’t like the way he looks at her.
"Yes, Elida was the eldest and the leader of the fairies who had been living for thousands of years," She explained as she wasn’t still looking at him.
Helion looks surprised at what she said and when she gets up, she was tripped in a brunch of tree and-
