บท 4: Part 4 - Invitation
Diamond Kingdom
A soldier from the palace held a paper while standing on a high wall, making all the villagers turn their attention to look towards him as they gathered near him. They knew there was something the palace wanted to say.
"Attention to you all! Listen carefully, this is an order from the Demon King, Han Jae Min."
"Wow, this must be about about the Prince."
One of the men said as he looked at the soldier excitedly.
"King Devil, invites from all the inhabitants of the kingdoms of PEARL, VICTORIA, EMERALD, RUBY, and KRYSTAL, in honor of the youngest prince, Prince Oliver, and in conjunction with the APPOINTMENT of POWER to all his children. You are all required to come to the palace to enliven the ceremony. "
The court officer ended his argument and climbed his horse to return to the palace with the other guards, making the other residents feel happy.
"I can't believe we were invited to attend a ceremony at the palace. The food there must be delicious and filling."
One said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at the man who was looking at him.
Before he could say anything,
"What are you waiting for ?! Keep working!"
The soldiers who served were angry at the villagers while beating them with whips specially prepared for them.
"Aww!"
[Diamond's Castle]
"Eric, wake up."
A deep voice was heard throughout the room, making the person in the blanket look at him with a deathly look.
"What ..."
His brother looked at his brother with a sharp gaze, before his brother closed the door behind him after he entered the room.
He looked at his brother who looked very handsome wearing only a white shirt and black pants that looked normal, but the price was very expensive if sold in the market.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't disturb me, Alex. I want to sleep, from last night I can't sleep because I'm on duty all day."
"Eric, dad said Rafael and Edwin will be back in two days."
"I already know about it. That's all you want to tell me?"
"You don't want to go down?"
Alex scratched his head when he noticed Eric pulling on the blanket, trying to go back to sleep by closing his eyes. But he knew that as long as he did not answer his brother's confession, he would not leave.
"For what? I'm done with my work."
He said while closing his eyes.
"We're all getting ready for the party. You don't want to choose your suit?"
"Yes, I'll be down in a second. You go first."
Alex shrugged and walked out of his brother’s room before heading into the large hall, and looking around the area that was busy with preparations for the birthday party later. He saw his 4th brother, Luke, was observing the area and then his eyes looked at Alex who was walking towards him.
"Hey Alex, I've set the color of the shirt we need to wear for tomorrow. It's Blue."
"Blue? Why Blue?"
He frowned as he watched his brother smile broadly, and looked back at the worker who was completing his assignment.
"This is because Blue symbolizes wisdom and serenity, and it is the favorite color of our eldest brother, Rafael."
"Okay, I'll just follow it. Most importantly, it should look very charming when worn. I want to go take a shower."
Alex left him there while Luke watched his employee before someone bowed respectfully behind him.
"Prince Luke."
"Is there anything I can help with?"
"The king wants to see you, he said there is an important matter."
Said the palace guard before he left the hall. Luke immediately went towards the Main Room where he assumed his father was.
"Yes, Dad. Did you call me?"
He looked at a man who was sitting on his throne who looked luxurious and dressed like a king. She looked at her fourth prince with a serious look, making Luke glance to know there was something his father wanted him to do.
"My son. Tomorrow, we have work and you have to come with me."
"Work? What work?"
"The Himorita tribe says they have tracked down a woman who lives deep in the forest. Tomorrow we will go there and take her to the palace."
"But ... why do I have to go and not the others?"
"Because you're the only one who can hear and feel movement on the ground. I brought you for a reason."
Luke nodded, then knelt down as he looked down at the floor with his hands on his chest.
"I follow orders, your father."
[ The next day ]
As usual, Aurora would practice with Zalora in the morning with Benson to control her powers, while her mother stayed home alone.
"Aurora must love it when I cook her favorite food today."
Said her mother with a smile, looking at Aurora's favorite dish. She placed the food on the dining table before opening her apron.
"While I'm waiting for Aurora to come home, I want to make sure the room is clean."
While she was tidying up in Aurora's room, the walls of her house suddenly burst with an explosion coming from nowhere, and that made Sabrina scream in shock and fear.
"What happened to this ?!"
She covered her head in fear and hid behind a closet that was still standing strong. She looked around her half -destroyed house, then looked at the man who was walking towards her with dozens of soldiers.
"Hello, Sabrina. I haven't seen you in a long time?"
Said a man with a cynical smile staring at her, and made her stand in shock.
"H-Han Jae Min ?!"
"Do you still know me? That's good."
His soldiers began holding Sabrina's hand as he snapped his fingers, signaling to arrest the woman.
"What are you doing ?! Release me!"
She rebelled and tried to wrestle, wanting to free herself from there. Because she knew, meeting Han Jae Min was a big disaster for her.
But the effort was all in vain. She could not let go of herself because the soldiers were too strong for her.
"Let go of you how? Now, follow me to the palace and we will live together forever!"
"How can you find me ?!"
A boy walked towards him and stood next to Jae Min while looking at the woman.
"L-Luke ?!"
Luke looked at her in amazement, about how she knew his name when they had just met.
"How do you know my name? Father, do I know this woman?"
He said in confusion as he looked at Jae Min who was staring at him.
"A ... you are a child-"
"Enough! Take him to the palace. Now!"
The soldier answered and took him away. She screamed and tried to free herself as Luke looked at the woman.
Jae Min noticed Luke's actions and held his head while releasing the power of black magic that absorbed into his head.
For a moment, Luke was silent and the pupil of his eye turned black, and looked like a statue controlled by someone.
"The woman is not anyone, she is just like the other villager nad of course she know your name. You're my son and a prince for this Kingdom. Let's go back to the palace ..."
Luke nodded and followed as he followed behind him.
"According to orders, your father."
Sabrina kept screaming as tears came out, thinking about the what would happen to her and her daughter.
She's worried about Aurora. What if they find the girl? What will they do to her? All those questions just played in her mind as she prayed that they would not find Aurora
《 Meanwhile in Aurora's Plasce 》
"Aurora ... I heard something ..."
"Something? Like what?"
Aurora stopped practicing and looked at Zalora confusedly. Zalora focused her ears and tried to detect the sound she had just heard.
How surprised she was when she heard someone scream and she seemed to recognize the voice.
"Someone is asking for help!"
"What did you say?!"
Aurora closed her eyes and used her power to hear from afar after she focused her power on her ears.
"Release me! Anyone help please!"
"Someone? Who else can be here? Is there anyone else?"
"Let go of me, useless!"
"Shut up, woman!"
Aurora opened her eyes and gasped at the voice. She knew who the owner was asking for help and looked at Benson.
"Mother ?!"
She continued to run towards her house quickly, followed by Benson and Aurora behind her. Who dares to enter this thick forest? How can they find this place? Why did they kidnap her mother? Aurora often questioned this question in her head.
After a while Aurora ran in the woods, finally she arrived in front of the cave and she just stood silently there, looking at the state of the house that just left the site.
"W-why ... my house ... is broken?"
She said after Zalora and Benson appeared behind her, they were startled and shocked to see the state of the house nearly destroyed.
"What the .... hell? What happened ?!"
"Who set fire to our house ?! What's going on ?!"
Benson said in panic as he looked around. However, Aurora's eyes lied looking for her mother's figure, but it was not visible and it made Aurora's heart beat fast.
"Mother? Where is mother ?!"
