"Don't run away and just stay here with me."Cecilia let out a heavy sigh and try to escape from his embrace. However, Max hugged her more tightly, prevent her to move."I… can't breathe."He flinched before release her from his embrace. But, when Cecilia realized, they already moved into different area. Not the Square's park, but an outdoor restaurant in the beach which have coconut trees line.They were sitting in a white chair that facing each other. A brown wooden table was separated between of them.If the situation was different, Cecilia will amazed with the breathtaking scenery.The sky is so blue, without any cloud. Cecilia's black hair is dancing because of the wind. Not to mention, the smell of the salt water successfully cleansing her mind."What do you want to eat?" Max asked when he open the menu.But, Cecilia

Duke Lancia closed his eyes. Surely, the world getting weirder than he thought.He was sitting along with his daughter, a rebellious second Prince and the mysterious Holy Priest in a small room with dim light. A round wooden table was between them.The Holy Priest smiling and didn't look surprised with Cecilia's confession.He is the oldest man who Cecilia ever see. But, she sure that he isn't as weak as it seems.His small figure was wearing a long white cape and walking with a white rod. His small brown eyes and silver long hair made him look like a wise man."This world is full of mystery. Indeed, you are the rare case. However, it's not like you are the first one who doing this journey."The three of them were looking at that old man as if he was talking in gibberish."Yes, indeed. The world is full of the unknown. But, do not worry, Miss Lanci

"Care to explain why do we have to walk?" Cecilia asked in curiosity.Max walked beside her after he escorted that wise old man back to the temple."Because we have health and strong leg." He answers cheerfully.Cecilia shook her head and choose to drop their silly argument. Heart of Ligaya Island is a name of the restaurant where they had their breakfast.It was supposed to further from their previous meeting place. But, for some reason, they often get lost and Max refused to use teleportation.Cecilia feel irritated because she has poor sense of direction and the man beside him, most likely, seem enjoying this situation."If we got lost again, I will ask another people to escort me." Cecilia said when she passed the same road for fourth time.Ligaya Island is not only about the beach scenery with the white sand. It also consists of small shore town with plenty citizen who reside on this island. Most of the building were

Armano didn't say anything after Max tell him the whole story about the rebellion of nobles faction.Actually, he knew that the faction is planning something. But, never crossed in his mind that they will do such a nasty plan.They were talking in Duke's study room. Cecilia isn't awake yet. But, several maids already guarded her.Max slowly drank his red wine. "I heard everything about Cadia. Too bad, honestly, I'm rooting for your slow burn plan."Armano's gray eyes fixed on him." It was her idea. The one who found the cure of that pandemic was my daughter.""She is wonderful person, isn't she?""May I ask about your relationship with her?"The young man smiling and out his empty glass on the table, "Like I said, she is my destiny. We already passed the dragon's trial, too."The Duke's forehead wrinkled. His brother's warning was

"Did you, by any chance, has a toothache? Should I call the doctor?" Hugo asked after he notices that his employer was holding his cheek all day with closed eyes.But it still surprised him since Max never get sick before.That young man keep silent, so Hugo shrugged and continue to read some books.Seven minutes later, Max opened his green eyes. With a serious look, he said, "Being young is the best.""You are barely twenty, Boss."  Hugo answered and try to not rolled his eyes."But, lately, I feel so much younger around Cecilia. Not to mention, everything look so beautiful today. Look at the bright sky and radiant sun. A perfect weather to do a picnic!"Hugo threw his gaze to the window and wondering if they were watching the same scenery.The sky was dark, and it can get rain in anytime.
