Recall the past

"Are you sure?" Darius was worried about Anthony who still currently preparing to go to the Wizard's kingdom with his army.

"Of course. I'll do everything so I can be the King." Anthony replied, he made sure his armor was perfectly attached to his body.

"All right, be careful."

Darius patted Anthony's shoulder to encourage him and after that, he stepped away leaving Anthony's room.

Anthony looked at his reflection in the mirror and saw how manly and invincible he in his armor, but something looked different which made the gaze in his eyes look dark.

Usually when he looks in the mirror then Airin's shadow will appear, walk towards him and hug him but not for this time.

"Don't get mad at me."

"I'm not going to be mad at you."

Anthony turned around after hearing the sound. That's not Airin's voice.

"I'm not letting you in," Anthony said coldly, he stepped away past Eliza but Eliza blocked her wrist.

"I don't need permission to go into my own fiancée's room."

Eliza smiles seductively, she puts both her hands on Anthony's chest while staring at his seductive.

"We haven't even had to make love yet but you've got to go to war."

Anthony's hand slowly touches the back of Eliza's hand making Eliza smile happily but a second later Anthony blows Eliza's body to the floor.

"Akh..." Eliza cringes at her body pain, she stares at Anthony displeased by her rude actions.

"Why are you pushing me?" Ask Eliza angry, she was still sitting on the floor and staring at Anthony with tears held back.

Anthony didn't immediately answer, he smiled and crouched down, and grabbed Eliza's jaw firmly.

"Don't ever touch me with your dirty hands."

Anthony's mocking smile instantly destroys Eliza's self-esteem especially when the man just leaves without feeling any guilt.

Eliza turns towards Anthony who slowly disappears and screams in frustration.

"I'm going to take you down, Anthony! I'm going to make you kneel before me!"

Anthony has already shown his feet in the land of the Wizards. He stands in the lead and sees how the not-so-great wizard kingdom looks prosperous even though their faces look as radiant as when Airin was alive.

In the past, the villages were overgrown with flowers that were blooming, giving off a fragrance that even smelled from a distance.

Anthony was initially just curious why the witch village was so fragrant that he secretly sneaked into the witch kingdom and he was amazed to see there was not the slightest ugliness in the villages he passed through.

Everything looks beautiful with shady trees and fertile soil, very different from what he often hears if the witches are creepy and their faces are ugly because they look very beautiful even though their skin looks warm and not as white as his people but they are very charming with black and brown hair, brown irises are almost the same color as their hair color, noses, and lips that even when they're not smiling still looks like a smile.

There are no carcasses or foul smells, houses made of huts or billowing smoke. Everything was different from the fairy tales he's always heard since childhood.

Their house is made of wood but even the roof of their house in the flowering grass grows, like a fairy garden, that's the picture that comes across his mind.

Some small children run around while occasionally playing spells to prank each other. There is also a market that looks like a market in its kingdom only there are some strange objects that have never been seen, some can even float on their own but still look beautiful.

Anthony continued across the footpath until he heard the sound of the river flowing until he tried to find his way towards the river.

Anthony never smiled, but seeing a clear river with fish jumping occasionally and butterflies flying around the river as many flowers were blooming around the river made him smile without him noticing.

Anthony just wanted to taste what it's like to have clear river water and feel very cold when it touches his skin when he hears the sound of laughter.

He wondered where the sound of laughter that sounded so soft that Anthony quickly sipped the river water and felt his throat very fresh than by sneaking around, he hid behind a big apple tree and a witch woman who looks his age yes although he does not know how long the woman has lived because she is now two hundred years old, what made Anthony unable to let go of the woman was that she had white hair, her skin was glowing, and her irises were gray just as it seemed, her cheeks blushing and her lips as bright as fresh cherry.

"So beautiful." Without feeling the praise thrown from his lips made Anthony immediately turn around because it seemed like the woman heard his voice.

Anthony held onto his chest which somehow sounded as if he had just committed a major sin but Anthony still wanted to see the woman's face and see his charming smile, but when Anthony came back to look at the woman before but the woman was not there so Anthony came out of hiding and stepped towards the woman was there.

"Oh, Shit!" Anthony was upset.

"Damn it!"

Anthony immediately turned to hear the soft voice right in his ear and when he turned how surprised he was when the woman was so close to him that it made Anthony fall.

"Who are you?" Ask is the woman, in contrast to her appearance which Anthony thinks she is a gentle graceful woman but it turns out she was wrong because she did not even hesitate to look at him sharply.

"I ... I ..."

"Vampires are forbidden to enter here, you know?"

Anthony rounded his eyes because the woman recognized his identity.

The woman then stepped closer, slightly ducked down, and brought her face closer.

"Go, before I turn you into a fish." Threaten the woman.

But unfortunately, her fangs make it sound so adorable that Anthony can't help but laugh.

"You laughing at me?"

Anthony held his breath when the woman suddenly flicked her finger and the time seemed to stop spinning.

"I am the great witch, the goddess of the moon!"

Anthony previously promised to erase the fairy tale about the witch kingdom that he used to read because the contents of the fairy tale were inversely proportional to what he sees today, but the legend about the moon goddess's was real and now he is right in front of him, so close that it allows Anthony to feel his warm breath that makes his whole body heat up instantly

"I am Airin Dasha."

"I'm Anthony."

"I'm not asking you to meet you, you idiot!"

"Then why did you introduce yourself to me?"

Airin was so upset that she stood up straight and pointed at Anthony and shouted, "BE A FISH YOU JERK!"
