One week after their argunt, the calm atmosphere in the Quintins' estate was suddenly broken by a commotion. A convoy of the Lioness Kingdom's knights dispatched from the capital city arrived at the front door of the estate.
It was her, the esteed Princess of the Lioness Kingdom, Princess Gwenneth, ca for Ery.
"Ery! We have found out everything and uncovered the truth. It was Fantumar. All that happened was his evil works. He was captured and beheaded already in front of the Lioness Kingdom's citizens"
"Also, another great news, Ery! Following the Logress Kingdom's decision towards the Fey people, my father, the Lioness King, already announced that we will do the sa as them. We have accepted all Fey people under our banner, becoming our citizens!"
The princess then walked forward approaching Ery who stood in front of the gate watching her.
"I am truly glad you're alive, Ery. I missed you." said the beautiful princess with a smile.
With this news, it appeared everything he ever wanted was fulfilled.
However, before Ery could respond to the beautiful princess, the symbol in his hand suddenly gave off a series of ssages.
[ALERT!]
[Universe is in chaos, Ergency recalling from the academy]
[Duration 100 years]
[The recall spell will activate in 5 minutes]
Ery watched all the notifications with shock on his face. This definitely had sothing to do with the war against the elves.
100 years would basically an that even if he managed to survive through the war, Gwen and everyone here would probably no longer be alive when he returned.
With the minutes he had left, Ery imdiately tried to explain the matter to Gwen, but once again, the symbol in his hand restricted him from doing so.
[Restriction Spell activated. You are not allowed to say any information regarding the academy to those who are not part of it.]
"Arrgggghhh!!"
He could only helplessly watch as his body began to disappear with every passing second. The last thing he saw was Gwen looking at him with a tear flowing down her cheek.
"Goodbye, Ery."
-------
Ery was startled awake from such a dream. His back was drenched with his own sweat as his mind wandered back to it. The dream was so vivid that it disturbed his heart greatly.
He quickly sat in a lotus position and began calming his anxious heart.
After a minute of serenity, Ery finally opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. A sigh that contained complex emotions.
He thought that by confronting Gwen and expressing all of his genuine thoughts to the princess last night would give so kind of release to his mind. Apparently, it only gave him more concern - sothing he already had a lot of on his plate.
Not long after, the morning ca as the sun shared its brilliance with the world. Soon, Ery's thoughts were distracted by a knocking sound on the door. Turning his head around, he spotted the lovely red-haired girl, Morgana.
Schooling his expression into a smile, Ery asked, "What is it, Morgana?"
"Did sothing happen?" she asked, with a concerned tone in her voice.
Even though he was surprised by the question, Ery kept his smile, "What do you an Morgana?"
Unexpectedly, the red-haired girl gave him a confused look before saying, "I can strangely feel that you are in pain."
Ery was completely caught off guard by her statent.
"It's just a bad dream, Morgana. No worries." Ery replied with a smile, trying to assure the girl.
At the mont, Ery found this situation to be extrely interesting. There was no way he would believe that this was a re coincidence. This definitely had sothing to do with his Fey bloodline.
The thought of starting an experint about the matter and starting his training once again quickly brought Ery's mind off what happened last night and the vivid dream.
Hearing that Ery was fine, Morgana decided to not bring the matter up again.
The two went to the dining room where breakfast had been prepared by Luna, apparently.
There, Ery saw Arthur who already enjoyed so bread with butter. The prince then inquired Ery about Gwen's sudden leave. He asked because he was worried sothing urgent must have happened.
The person in question, Ery, surely could not really explain what had happened. Therefore, he decided to just be quiet about it.
After breakfast, it was finally the ti for them to head out to the Forbidden Forest to visit the Fey village.
Knowing the nature of the visit, Luna quickly asked for permission to be allowed to follow them.
At first, Ery wasn't sure if the idea was a good one, as maybe only Arthur's entourage was welcod by the High Priestess. But knowing how helpful Luna had been and the fact he would probably need her to interact with the Feys more in the future, he decided to bring her also.
Before they left for their destination, Ery asked Luna if she saw a black dagger when he was brought here in wounded state by the Lioness Princess. Unfortunately, she didn't see it, slightly disappointing him.
It seed now only Gwen's group might have an idea where the dagger was. Alas, with the situation he landed himself with the princess, Ery probably should find a ti in the future to ask about it. Maybe the squire's Marc or Lucas might know anything about it.
The group consisted of Arthur, Sir Gawain, Gaious, Kastan, Luna, as well as dozen knights imdiately departed for the Forbidden Forest with Ery at the front. He led them through a path that would allow them to reach the village in the shortest possible ti.
The mont they reached the deep end of the forest, where Ery himself wasn't sure where to go, several dozen Akavi warriors had waited for them.
There was indeed a little tension during their first encounter. The temperantal Akavi leader, Cavvi, was there leading them and these dozen knights did give a lot of concern for this group of Fey Guardians.
Fortunately, the tension swiftly dissolved when the warriors saw Morgana. With one gaze from her, Ery and the others clearly see they turned soft. Moreover, added with the ssage that ca from the High Priestess, informing them firsthand about this visit, the Akavi warriors reluctantly allowed Arthur's entourage to enter the village.
There, Arthur and the others, except Ery and Morgana, were amazed when they saw the elusive village with hundreds of Fey people living in it.
