Calling For Help

The next day...

"Julia and I are friends," the queen stated.

"We did talk about her a few days ago," Antonio added.

"Your majesties, do you think that Julia is calling for help?" the general asked.

The queen then nodded and told him that a month ago, Julia came and asked for the white and green gem, but she refused to give it to her and just told her to be on standby.

"She mentioned the Water kingdom didn't she?" the king asked.

"She did, but does this mean that Mateo needs our help?" Lucy answered.

"Seems like she's just being apprehensive."

"Antonio, Julia wouldn't joke about things like that," Valentina said. "The fight's really inevitable."

"You know something don't you?" the princess asked.

Valentina then told her that on the day Julia came, Julia told her that something terrible is about to happen that's gonna be caused by the man with the mask.

"Who is he?" said Antonio.

"No idea. She told me that it is forbidden to talk about him," the queen responded.

"What do we do now? Do we just ignore my dream?" Lucy asked.

Valentina answered, "As for now, we do."

A few hours later...

(In the dining hall)

The general took a sip of his tea, looked at Mark, and asked him what he thinks Julia was trying to say. Mark then assumed that she needed help.

The princess said, "I don't even have anything to do with her."

"Your highness, what if she's trying to tell you that she needs help because something appalling is going to happen that she can't control?" Charlotte asked.

Lucy folded her arms. "She's an alien,"

Mark's eyes widened. "She's what?"

"I said that she's an alien that looks like a human."

Josh added, "The queen told us everything."

Charlotte asked, "Aren't aliens like her powerful?"

Lucy then explained that she's never actually thought about it, but as far as she can remember, Valentina mentioned that she has the ability to kill anyone with just a touch on the head. As soon as Mark heard that, he assumed that Julia was behind everything.

The general smiled. "We trust her."

Mark furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't."

Lucy sighed, "Don't be like Princess Kaycee. She once doubted her too, but later on, she realized that Julia was just trying to help."

"It's about to begin," Charlotte said.

"What?" Josh asked.

"Th-That man with a mask, he's coming to get the gems."

"What are you saying?"

"Some-Something suddenly popped in my mind. He's trying to harm them."

Mark gave her a hug. "Don't think about it too much, everything will be fine."

Charlotte sighed, "I hope so."

(At Pali village)

"This waiting is finally coming to an end," Jack sighed.

Licia asked, "How about Leo? How much time does he have left?"

"I don't know. Probably less than a week."

"We'll execute the plan in a few days," a man said.

"Are you sure about this? I'm afraid that it won't succeed," Licia responded.

The man asked, "What's wrong? We've waited for so many months, and yet your telling me that we won't be victorious? We're indomitable remember?"

Jack responded, "He's right. Don't you want to be with King Cameron?"

Licia took a seat. "I'll do anything to get him."

"He's with Princess Eleanor."

"I'm willing to steal him from her."

Jack laughed. "As if he'd fall for a woman like you."

Licia shouted, "Your just being—"

"Sir, I've prepared everything. We're leaving tonight," a man suddenly came in and interrupted.

"Do you agree with executing the plan by next week, Jay?" the man asked.

Jay then nodded and asked the man if he would be always keeping his mask on.

"Of course not. How will they believe us if they can't see my face?" the man replied.

Licia asked, "Sir, what makes you think that they'll believe every single word you say?"

The man answered, "I've helped them both."

"What do you mean? Aren't you just a stranger to them?"

"I'm related to them, and what makes you think that they wouldn't believe the most powerful man on earth?" the man interrupted.

Licia responded, "Don't tell me that your real name is..."

The man smiled. "That's right. I'm the father of King Cameron, Albert."
