Inside an empty room, which had nothing but a table on the tatami floor.
Linda and the Queen sat on a pillow facing each other with only a table separating the mother and daughter.
They remained silent without any words for a long ti until finally, the Queen took a deep breath and finally began to open her mouth.
"... Are you still angry with , Rose?"
"Angry Because of what exactly, YOUR MAJESTY QUEEN?"
Said Linda, raising her voice at her last statent, and the Queen who heard this showed a sad face because this was the first ti she had heard Linda call her that.
"... I-I see you raising Taufik in a good way?"
"It's my responsibility as a mother, not like soone I know"
"..."
"..."
After Linda said that, the Queen only looked sadder, and after that, silence fell again in the room.
"... Is there a chance for you to forgive ?"
Ask the Queen once more.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty the Queen, I ask you once again, what mistake did a Queen like you make that you have to apologize to who is just an ORDINARY citizen"
"Just to let you know, I never stripped you of your rank as a princess of Britain, and it will never happen," said the queen.
"... And I never asked for any of that" Replied Linda.
"... Rose, let's end this, I already said to Taufik that I will clear all this misunderstanding today... If you want to hear it or not is up to you, but let talk first, and after that, if you want to forgive or not is also up to you"
Said the Queen, and after that, she started talking from the beginning of the story.
--------------
"... What? You can't tell Your Kingdom's Na?"
"Yeah~ Kinda like that, You wouldn't even believe if I told you"
"... What do you an by that?"
Ask Amanda in confusion.
"Don't ask that, Amanda; you are still not ready for that...
Exclaid Taufik, stopping the conversation between Amanda and Anugerah. Then, directly stand up after being satisfied Playing with Alice.
... Alright is ti to go to collect the prize"
"Where are you going, Husband?" Ask Rani.
"Back to our ho, of course"
Said Taufik like it was the very right thing to say.
"Huh? What with Mother?"
"They're done talking, so pack up your things and we'll go directly"
"... But-"
Before Rani could finish saying sothing, Linda and the Queen had already left the room, and it was true as Taufik had said, both of their eyes were red from crying.
"See?"
"..."
Rani could only remain silent after seeing this, and Amanda, who saw her grandmother and aunt in that condition, imdiately stood up and headed toward the two of them.
Caldwell, who had been sitting quietly leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, imdiately opened his eyes when he heard that his grandmother and aunt had co out.
"Grandma, Aunty, are you two okay?"
Ask Amanda in a worried tone.
"We're okay... Don't have to worry" Said The Queen.
"... So... How?"
Hearing Amanda's question, the Queen and Linda looked at each other and then smiled.
"We're okay, right now... Everything is okay"
Hearing this, Amanda smiled happily; not only her, but Caldwell also let out a sigh of relief; even Jenn and the others were happy.
"Now that everything is settled, what are you waiting for? Go pack your things and we'll be leaving soon"
Said Taufik toward all of them and after that, they imdiately went to pack their things, and Amanda and the Queen also went with them, leaving Caldwell, Lembuswana, and Taufik in the room.
"Hufft~ Alright, let's do a little business after we get back to Indonesia"
Said Taufik and then looked towards the entrance of the room which was wide open.
"You can co in right now, Thalia"
After saying that, Thalia appeared at the entrance of the room without the veil she usually wore.
"I thought you forgot about your promise and wanted to back to your country directly"
"Nah~ mory is sothing I am most proud of, so are you ready to back to your World?"
"... Hmnph~ keep Showing of"
Caldwell overheard Taufik's conversation with the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared.
Caldwell, who heard Taufik's conversation with the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared, was interested in what Taufik had just said.
"... Back to her world? What does that an?" Caldwell asked curiously.
"..."
"Can I tell him?"
Taufik asking for Thalia's approval.
"... I don't care, just do everything you like"
"Alright...
Said Taufik and then looked at Caldwell.
... I don't have much ti to answer your questions, just follow and see it on your own... And you Lembu, what's you going to do?"
"I'll go too"
Answers Lembuswana and then directly flew toward Taufik Shoulder and perched there.
"... Let's go to another place first"
Said Taufik, and after that, all of them went directly to changed places.
--------------
- Tokugawa Manor, Backyard.
"Are you sure you wanted to go without waiting for Asahi first?"
Ask Taufik toward Thalia. Taufik has asked Asahi to take Banaspati and Sylph to the Ba-Jou tribe where Undine lives.
"... It's okay, I already said my Goodbye to all the mbers of the Tokugawa Family... So I can go with an ease mind"
Replied Thalia, and Taufik just nodded his head and then directly took out his Katana; Taufik got close to Thalia and then put his hands on Thalia's head.
"This is going to be a little uncomfortable, so brace yourself, okay?"
"I'm Ready"
Taufik didn't say anything at all after hearing what Thalia said and imdiately read her mory using his Imagination Magic.
Feeling like sothing had entered her brain, Thalia trembled a little, but it was still within limits that she could still endure.
Foreign mories began to enter Taufik's mind; he saw a tree that Thalia's race called Yggdrasil, or the World Tree, with an extraordinary size and known to be sacred; around the tree, there was everything, including nine worlds and the world where Thalia lived was also included in the nine worlds.
'... What an Interesting world'
Said Taufik after finishing reading Thalia's mories.
Taufik then opened both of his eyes and imdiately looked at Thalia who had also just opened both of her eyes.
With a smile on his face, Taufik said to Thalia in a tone of high interest.
"... You live in a world that looks interesting"
"... So, can you take back there?"
Thalia said with a hopeful tone and expression.
"I already know your World Coordinate so it will be easy... And rember, it's open a way to there, not to take you there"
Thalia smiled happily with teary eyes while looking at Taufik without caring about Taufik's words at the end.
Taufik just smiled when he saw Thalia like that, and without waiting any longer, he imdiately took out his katana from its sheath.
"... Wait a second"
Said Taufik and then stepped a little away from Thalia; Caldwell, who saw this, just looked silently and looked at Taufik with a curious and Interested gaze.
'SwordMagic- Dark Form: Portal...
Said Taufik and then slashed his Katana into nothingness.
... World Travel!'
*Crack!*
A slash mark appeared in the air, which slowly widened and then ford a portal.
"... This is your way ho"
Said Taufik while turning his head towards Thalia behind him.
"..."
Seeing this, Thalia was silent with mixed feelings; unable to contain her feelings any longer, Thalia imdiately stepped forward toward Taufik and hugged him.
"Thank you~ Really Thank you~"
Thalia said with tears that had fallen down her cheeks and made Taufik's clothes wet.
Taufik patted Thalia's back to calm her down.
"It's okay~ It's okay~ You haven't even returned to your world yet, so don't thank yet"
Thalia released her hug from Taufik, wiped away her tears, then said in a voice that was still stuttering because of crying.
"I will never forget what you did to , I will repay all this favor when I return to my world"
*Smile*
"I'll wait for you then... okay, it's ti for you to go"
Taufik said to Thalia, and Thalia, who heard this, took a deep breath, and then stepped towards the portal.
Arriving in front of the portal, Thalia did not imdiately enter the portal, she stopped with only one step from the portal. She looked at Taufik behind her, saw Taufik with a smile, and waved lightly at her; after that, Thalia imdiately entered the portal.
The next second, the Portal closed again, but Taufik, Caldwell, and Lembuswana, who was perched on Taufik's shoulder, were still looking in the direction where the Portal had been.
"... What is that, bro?"
Caldwell asked Taufik after he could no longer contain his curiosity.
"I just sent her back to the world where she belonged, only that and nothing more"
"... The world where she belonged? What that ans?"
"... It ans that she's not a human...
Taufik answered, then turned around and walked away from the place.
... Alright~ is ti to get back... Asahi is probably already back with Banaspati and Sylph and maybe with the addition of one other person, no, another spirit"
