Chapter 22
On the night after Edwig's coronation as crown prince, the kingdom feasted, praising how handsome and charismatic their future king was. The people rejoiced, making him the star of the event, even though the crown prince himself did not feel the same joy. Edwig looked around for his brother who didn't show up, then let out a disappointed sigh. His brain was filled with Edmund's vision throughout the event. How that young man screamed, kicked the vessel, and the worst was his hateful gaze. Imagine that gaze would be there forever was truly terrifying.
On the other hand, the same thing was felt by Edmund, only slightly different. The image of his brother who would later become King could not disappear from Edmund's head. He didn't even want to be in the palace which he thought was treasonous. That night the prince fled to be alone in his secret place — a small gap in a giant oak tree in the middle of the forest — for the first time, Edmund cried as he had never crie

Turning North, far away from where the Gnomes were performing the rituals, Wiggy was busy writing letters. So hurried that the writing looks more like a tangled thread. Lillian offered to help, the girl could write fast, and of course much tidier. After a day of clean up the ruined palace together, a potluck dinner of wild tubers, finally the triad had free time to write the letters. Wiggy folded all the letters carelessly, then put them in an envelope glued with red wax."What are we going to do with the letters?" asked Lillian."We will send it to my other people." Wiggy pulled out a flute, played several notes. As usual, a large number of Pixies gathered immediately, buzzing awaiting orders.Phillip helped clear the stationery off the table. "You mean the dwarf?""Also the fauns." Wiggy handed one letter each to the Pixie gang of about five or six, then ordered them to deliver the letters immediately. "If war really broke out, we would need a lot of tr

The sun was rising from the East, lightening the North where conditions were much better, although scorched stains were still visible on most of the treehouses, likely to be permanent. The triumvirate looks ready to continue its journey. After yesterday's tiring day, the three of them slept soundly no matter what the base was, even Phillip felt his wooden bed as a mattress with the best quality cotton. For the first time, they wake up early feeling fit and fresh. The three of them prepared themselves, wearing knit hats and thick scarves, both of which were brown. Lillian now has two scabbards stuck on the left and right sides of her hips. Wiggy approached the female Elves who sent them off.“Please fix this place, when the others wake up, immediately tell them to prepare. I have called all the Northern people to come here, we will need a lot of room and food.” The female Elves nodded, then saluted briefly. "I'm sure I can count on you. And remember, don't mess wit

Phillip threatened with a sword as the knights approached him, but one of them grabbed his hand and spun him behind his back, causing the young man to screech and suddenly dropping his sword to the ground. They dragged the three of them deeper into the settlement, past the hexagon tents lined up symmetrically.The black horse and its rider in the lead led towards the target. Along the way the knights cried out at Wiggy, calling him "Trouble Maker". Wiggy himself didn't look annoyed, instead, he walked quickly as if he wanted to get to his destination.The black horse stopped in front of the biggest red hexagon tent. The rider deftly descends from the saddle, gives the horse a whole apple, and strokes its long mane before entering the tent.The knights then encourage Phillip, Lillian, and Wiggy to come in

Louise led Phillip and Lillian to another tent, not with Wiggy this time. That funny young man was struggling to avoid the heavy objects colliding from the knights. He hovered above the company of angry knights, trying to negotiate for help. So far the plan hasn't been successful, and it looks a little impossible. While the other three walked to a moss green hexagon tent not far from the main tent. Phillip and Lillian followed as Louise pulled the curtain back in. This tent contains only two long tables and eight chairs, with a lantern glowing on each bench, as well as a fireplace. While the walls have another function as a large shelf full of books. Phillip glanced at his sister, whose gaze was shining across the room. This place must be heaven for a bookworm like Lillian. "Is this the library, Phill?" asked the girl without turning around.

"Listen! If you want to meet Angel of The Knight, then you have to dress like knights,” said Louise. The four of them had returned to the first large red tent.Wiggy let out a rough breath with his arms crossed. "Is there something wrong with our clothes?"Instead of answering, Louise looked at her guests with a sad expression. Phillip wore a super dirty white short-sleeved shirt, combined with a simple brown vest. He also wears ankle-length ebony trousers and his magical women's ruby shoes. Lillian wore a plain, knee-length pastel pink dress that was just as dirty, the white apron around her waist was torn apart by sharp branches so that it looked like frayed cloth, she wore brown loafers with thick white socks covered with ankle-high dirt stains.Meanwhile, Wiggy looks the most unpleasant with a shabby green long-sleeved shirt, light brown trousers, and makeshift cloth shoes. Two holes are visible on the back as a place to stretch the wings. Each of them

The Sun has set, it is The Moon's turn to watch the earth. For the rest of the day, the knights don't let the three comers enjoy their leisure time, especially for Wiggy. Not finished one job, another job is waiting. Most of the tasks given seemed too pushy, it was clear that the knights just wanted to play with him. Even so, Wiggy is serious about doing every task, he is earnestly asking for help, the young man hopes the knights keep their promises.Phillip and Lillian help him though not much, the knights don't allow the Grace sibling to work too hard. They had only relaxed completely a few minutes ago when the knights also looked tired playing with them. Lillian and Wiggy couldn't wait to meet the mattress to rest their bodies, while Phillip chose to get some fresh air first. His body was tired, but not ready to sleep.The young man walked through the deserted meadow where the horses were training. Small colorful flower buds burst forth, giving off a fragrant aroma

The sun peeked out from the East, sending golden light reflecting off the gilded silver wall. The sound of parakeets shouting, stretching their feathers while parting the oval leaves above the tree to enjoy the morning air. The peace that morning was undermined by Louise's screams. The girl kicked Wiggy's bedroom without permission, then shook her head lightly when she saw that he was still wrapped in the blanket.“Wiggy! Wake up lazy Falsies!" Louise frowned when the answer she received was a loud snore. Without further ado, the girl pulled the covers off the bed, showing Wiggy sleeping shirtless. "For Tiffany's high hat!" Louise spontaneously closed her eyes with both hands.Hearing the commotion, Wiggy opened his eyes and shouted too while covering his body. "Have you never been taught the etiquette of knocking on doors!" scolded the young man

Wiggy continued to pull Lillian past the knights that were scurrying around, their goal being Louise's main tent. The place was already so swarming with knights that Wiggy had to break his way to get to the front row. Phillip was there, when he saw his sister he immediately came over and hugged her tightly.“Geez, Lillian, I've been looking for you everywhere! Don't ever leave without my knowledge like that again!""We have to go home, Phillip, we have to see how Dad is!" said Lillian ignoring her brother's scolding.It was Louise's turn to approach Wiggy with an angry face. "That was Edmund, right? Can you explain what just happened?"“I — I don't know anything about the marriage,” said Wiggy hastily."Idiot! You're obviously asking for help because of this, right?”"I do, but I didn't know Edmund was gettin
