Prince Ryuzenheim didn't know that Kae has been following him the whole time. Fou lo knows about it but he keep silent on the whole journey. Kae also didn't know that both Nina and Nulier have been doing the same thing as she did, following the Prince towards the cave.
Prince Ryuzenheim and Fou lo now arrive at the entrance of the cave where the said holy grail was found. Intense dark aura has been creeping out of the cave that makes them step back a little bit and scared. But Prince Ryuzenheim gather his courage to move forward in order to protect those three girls and not let them come to this dangerous place. He needs to finished it sooner before night falls.
Fou lo walks first towards the unknown cave followed by Prince Ryuzenheim. It is too dark to see but thanks to magical power of Fou lo, they can see it clearly as daylight. It was a long narrowed path but they both succeeded in crossing over the cave.
They were greeted with bright sunlight that shines at the center where a golden chest is located. They both approach and open it carelessly.
The holy grail indeed was in there lying down inside that golden chest. Prince Ryuzenheim examine it carefully, finding any clue that would lead them to conquer their quest. Fou lo on the other hand sniff out the golden chest until he didn't find any trace.
"It seems we are in dead end." Prince Ryuzenheim exclaimed. "This is fake. The Crown Prince was being fraud at that time."
"What?! What did you say?" Kae appear herself from her hiding spot.
"Wha.. What! What are you doing here?!" Prince Ryuzenheim rattled and seems lost at words when he saw Kae appearing out of nowhere.
"How did you know that it was fake?" Kae went to Prince and snatch the fake holy grail that he was holding.
"Answer my question first. Why are you here!" Prince Ryuzenheim went raged. This cave is too dangerous and yet she followed him. Negative thoughts have been playing inside of his mind. What if ... What if the same tragedy will befall to Kae if she didn't show herself? Prince Ryuzenheim really blames himself now for not having notice Kae from the start.
"Tehee~❤" Kae sticked out her tongue to act cute.
"Don't tehee me!" Then Prince Ryuzenheim look at Fou lo who was playing innocent at this time. "You, Fou lo, do you know that Kae has been following us the whole time?"
"Woof! Yes! and also there are two others who are currently hiding beyond that stalagmite." answered Fou lo.
"Why didn't you tell me?! Sigh ... Nina! Nulier! Come on out now."
Kae seems shocked at what Prince Ryuzenheim yelled. She is too cautious of her surroundings and yet didn't notice the presence of these two following her behind. These two actually do unbelievable things like me.
Nina and Nulier went out on their hiding spot and went to where Prince Ryuzenheim is.
"Why did you follow me?" simultaneously ask Prince and Kae. Both of them look at each other like they have thought the same thing.
"Tehee~❤" both of them too act cutely.
"Don't tehee me!" again, Prince and Kae simultaneously exclaimed.
Kae face palm and said " Now I know what you are feeling right now."
"Sigh.. You are all stubborn. I was doing this to protect you all. Why do you not understand?" Prince Ryuzenheim lost it. He was traumatised and can't let it happen again.
"Just let it go Prince. As I said, we can protect ourselves. We train ourselves for this and we should not waste it." Kae explained thoroughly.
"Yeah .. We are strong. You must not underestimate us, okay! Or else we will not forgive you." Nulier angrily said.
"Just give up Prince and let us go with you. We are comrades afterall. No one will left behind." Nina said.
Prince Ryuzenheim was left dumbstruck and fall on his knees. " I guess, this is my fate. Protecting you all is kinda a heavy duty to me." Prince Ryuzenheim sat on the ground with leg crossed.
"You are all stupid and childish. You don't know reality. I was the same as you guys back then, being cocky and boastful. I don't want history to repeat itself because I don't want you all to die."
"What history?" Nina, Nulier and Kae asked.
"Nothing. Sigh. What I should I do to all of you. Now! Don't ever leave my side and stay alert at all times! Understood?!"
"Yes!" They answered.
Then Price Ryuzenheim explained everything what he was thinking about that fake holy grail.
"We are all in dead end afterall. Sigh" Nulier crossed her arms while examining the holy grail features.
"No.. I think this is the first step." Nina commented.
"What do you mean?"
"It's not a dead end. Do you not realize? If its a fraud maybe we can turn it upside down. We can free them finally!"
"Are you out of your mind Nina?" Kae ask boldly.
"Okay! .. here is the deal. Luckily, it wasn't a holy grail. We can make things right. Question. Who has the power to do things like magic?"
"Some magicians and humans like us?"
"Yes. Any other else?"
"Gods?"
"Yes. think more."
"Demons?"
"Exactly! You see, magicians or any other humans can use magic on individuals. But whole citizens of Olivian Kingdom are involved in this mess. So its not a magicians that can do such a thing like this. Do you get it now?"
Prince Ryuzenheim, Nulier and Kae are all amaze on what Nina thinks. She just make them realize and now they have a solution on their problem.
"You are so brilliant! So what do we do next?"
"Okay.. For now lets go back to the Kingdom and research on demons that have a kind of magic that makes people invisible."
"Okay. Sounds like a plan."
They are about to step outside of the cave wherein an instant the whole surroundings became pitch black even though the sun is still rising.
"Hey!!! What's going on here!!"
"Nina! Nulier! Kae! Fou lo! Assemble! Formation A!" Prince Ryuzenheim yelled.
"Roger!"
They immediately followed what the Prince said.
Chill rundown their spine as they here an evil voice that is laughing at the background.
"HaHaHaHaHa At last! Humans! Finally! My body will be complete! Hahahahahahaha!" 😈😈
Coldness spreads out into thin air that makes all of them chill like crazy. Dark smoke that smells like a rotten corpse are all they can smell. Nausea and feeling of suffocation are all they are thinking right now.
Kae almost vomit but she endure it. Nina and Nulier can't stand the smell and they through off. Prince Ryuzenheim panic like crazy because this is what he is most afraid of.
"Everyone! Stay alert! Enemy is in front of us!" Kae shout with courage even though she herself are feeling afraid. She can't back down to her words of being strong. She should stay calm and collected to face this enemy of them.
"Ugh!" Prince Ryuzenheim exclaimed.
"Prince!" exclaimed by the three girls.
They hear Prince Ryyzenheim shriek from pain that its like he has been stab and it was quiet deep based on what they hear.
"Wh..at..." Prince Ryuzenheim tried to touch where the painful area is. He was stab at his chest near to his heart. He felt sticky and thick liquid coming out from his chest.
"Bloo...d!" Prince Ryuzenheim coughed a lot of blood that makes the three girls scream out loud of his name.
"Prince!"
A loud thud can heard next. Prince Ryuzenheim lost consciousness and fall down on the ground due to loss of massive blood.
"Prince Ryuzenheim!"
"Woof! Ryu!"
