REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

He did this so that he could immediately enter the palace without difficulty because of his identity as a Fryz.

***

The Fairy Palace gates are open continuously, it aims to make it easier for anyone who has business with the palace.

Jiao strode slowly and tried his best to look normal. In his heart, the man kept hoping that no one would recognize him, neither did Mr. Shin. Hopefully, the middle-aged man doesn't show up this time.

Until he passed through the gate and entered the palace courtyard, Jiao still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief because what he was about to do was just about to begin.

Suddenly someone pulled him from the side and managed to make him startle.

When he saw who the culprit was, the panic that had attacked him instantly disappeared.

"Teacher Liu?"

"Shhh..." Teacher Liu gestured to Jiao.

"What are you doing in this palace alone?"

"And... your cloak?"

"It's a long story, Teacher Liu."

"And you? Should don't you be at the Academy already?" Jiao asked a little curiously.

The position of the two is currently a bit far from the main road in the palace, precisely behind a butterfly statue made of emerald stone.

"After a long journey, my body was very tired and the Queen asked me to stay overnight before returning to the academy. And now I'm just about to leave."

"And You? What are you doing?"

"It's a long story, Master Liu. I don't have much time."

"Ah yes, does Teacher Liu have a healing pill?"

"I need it," Jiao added.

"You visited the palace because of the healing pills?"

Jiao immediately nodded.

"Master Shin knows of your visit?"

Jiao shook his head.

Teacher Liu sighed harshly, without even asking, he should have known just by looking at the robe the man was wearing.

Teacher Liu then asked "But for whom?"

"A friend of mine is injured, Teacher Liu. And needs those pills," Jiao replied that very second.

"I gave it all to the palace when I just arrived yesterday."

"But don't worry, someone once gave me two pills for free when I was on my way back to Fairy's territory."

"And I still have one left," he added. He still remembered when Fu Xie Lan gave him two pills while still in the carriage in Kanca City.

And don't be surprised why Master Liu and Jiao know each other. It's all because of Jiao who is a Fryz, who always goes around and maintains security in the area around the residence the middle-aged man lives. As for Teacher Liu, because he goes in and out of the inner region too often, he recognizes almost all the Fryz in that region.

And seeing Jiao who was supposed to be in the inner region visiting the Fairy palace, meant something happened.

"Take this," said Teacher Liu, handing him a small package containing a pill that Fu Xie Lan had given him earlier.

"What's this?"

"The pill you need," Teacher Liu replied quickly.

"Really? Then thank you very much, Master Liu," said Jiao as soon as she accepted the package and immediately put it in her trouser pocket without checking it first.

"Erm... Then I'll go first."

"I'm so late. And you too, don't linger in the palace if you don't have any more needs," added Teacher Liu.

"Okay, thanks in advance," said Jiao, bowing slightly to the middle-aged man.

"Erm, it's nothing. Hope your friend gets well soon. I'll go first," said Teacher Liu, slowly moving away from Jiao.

Unconsciously Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know what luck is approaching him at this time.

Seeing the middle-aged man disappear behind the palace gate, only then did Jiao move from his position, and of course, he tried to act casual, so as not to attract the attention of others, especially the Fryz around him.

Approaching the palace gate, for some reason, Jiao suddenly felt nervous.

"YOU... STOP THERE!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind Jiao. Hearing the voice, he seemed to recognize who the owner was.

Even so, the man continued on his way, pretending not to hear the voice.

"Your thing fell, sir," said the man again, as soon as Jiao reached into his trouser pocket and sure enough, the pill Teacher Liu gave was not there.

How about this?

The owner of the voice suddenly flew over and landed right in front of him. It made Jiao, who had not had time to think, give up right then and there.

"Your thing fell," said the man, handing him a small package. Jiao could only lower her head, trying her best to hide her face from the man, even though it seemed impossible.

"Th-thank you, Master," stuttered Jiao. One of his hands grabbed his small package that was in the man's hand.

The figure standing in front of him right now was a Fryz, more precisely the leader of Fryz in the core region.

After retrieving his dropped item, Jiao didn't say anything more and quickly walked away from there.

"Be careful sir, don't let your things fall again," said Master Shin, occasionally frowning, looking like someone who was thinking.

Jiao who heard the middle-aged man's words immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, that meant Master Shin didn't see his face, for the first time, Jiao felt lucky with his short stature.

"Master...WAIT!!"

Just now Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Master Shin's voice was heard again. The sound of his footsteps getting bigger indicated that the middle-aged man was walking towards him.

Oh no more.

Jiao surrendered. Why else did Master Shin tell him to stop?

"I think I've seen you before," said Mr. Shin, inviting Jiao to speak.

Hearing the man speaks to him, Jiao took a deep breath and then raised his head. Even hiding would not be able to get him to escape from the man, especially if he immediately flew and left the palace? It's not that easy, because this isn't his territory.

"Good morning, Mr. Shin," Jiao finally said to the middle-aged man, just making small talk because he didn't know how to respond.

Master Shin was silent in his position with a frown, "Fryz? You're Fryz in the inner region aren't you?" His memories of being in the inner region early this morning were still vividly etched in the middle-aged man's mind.

"What are you doing in this palace?" asked Mr. Shin, one eyebrow raised, with his arms folded across his chest.

"Don't tell me you visited because you needed healing pills?"

"Judging from the direction where you are going, it seems that you already want to leave the palace? And without resorting to me first?
