I packed my things and went back to Shintaro, as I walked to the door I was greeted my hailmar

"You must be Alzenara"

"Your so called King has invited me back to the palace " I spoke

"Do you have a pass?" Hailmar demanded,I reached for my pocket to show him the invation, hoping he understands

He opened the door for me "but keep in mind, Morro guards our king, if you plan to hurt our emperor you gonna have to face him first"

"Oh he is no bother to me,we are childhood friends" I entered the palace,I looked for everywhere,for once I finnaly found Orano in balcony,he was in his nightrobe, resting on a sunlounger,he clearly was enjoying his Rich, royal life, damn what a narracist

"So you managed to stop black dragon?" He asked me

"Yeah,and then I saved some alternative universe, pretty strange experience"

"Eh,I seen worse" he spoke and rised up from his sunlounger,now looking down the kingdom "I managed to get all this, just with my own hands,and yet, something feels off, Clouse is still somewhere out there, plotting something,and my student almost killed himself for a girl he only known for 2 days, and not only that- " he was talking to himself and than shook his head and turned to me

"is my sister alright?"

"Don't worry, Kaia has it all together, however I'm afraid her and ceiline's terms are in risk of getting harmed by Kaia's unexpected jealousy over her, and if kaia takes the wrong path..."

"I'm pretty sure kaia figures something out and comes over it, she's a smart woman" Morro spoke

I looked at Morro who revaled himself,it's first time I see him in gold armor, with little bit dark green

"Kaia told me to tell you she loves you" I spoke to him

"Of course she does! I'm Morrotastic!" He spoke in pretty cocky tone

"Oh don't develop an ego now" I teased

Orano took out a cigarette and lighted it up with his dark magic with his fingers
tip"Morro's right, she's an grown woman,she can handle herself"

"Smokin is harmful to your lungs" I said

"And what makes you think I don't know that?" He spoke as he breathed out the smoke

"Does your sister knows you smoke?" I asked

"Of course not,my life is none of her business" he spoke "so what's those robo masks about?"

"What robo masks?" Morro questioned

I turned to Morro "you are a body guard but don't even have access to basic rumors what could potentially harm your job? Or your king?"

"They are just brainwashing machines applied on people faces basically" I spoke"I also have bad news"

"What is it?" Orano questioned

"Vania escaped from prison" I spoke

"Vania?I knew I should thrown her into dungeon when I still had chance" Orano spoke madly "what schemes is she planning this time?"

"Not to gain her royality back luckily, but I saw her talking with Kaia earlier"

"If she even lays even one hand on my sister I swear I will-" I can see Orano almost explode from anger,he clearly haven't got over what happened years ago to him thanks to Vania,but atleast he also gained from it

"She luckily didn't harm her,but she spoke something about some Alliance she and kaia could have aganist the ninja, which kaia luckily refused, atleast I hope"

"Knowing Kaia,If that little rat keeps hissing in my sister's ear like a snake she is, there's no hope for her,but I won't be one to save her this time,she needs to learn how to save herself,for once, because in all of our lives,there will be a day somebody else can't save you and only options you have is either fall to your death or fight for what you think to be right"

"There's nothing wrong wanting to protect others who barely can protect themselves,why be ashamed of it?" I questioned,he always been overprotective over his sister,what changed?

"Sometimes it's better that way if you don't step on other people's road"
