Chapter 64: chapter 64 - Simple but Hard
"... I will give you later"
"Thank you, so what you wanna talk about?"
After Taufik said that, there was a silence for a while.
"... It's true that you kill that monster?"
"It's true, what about it?"
Taufik said while drinking that liquor.
"I have a request for you, it's about my sister"
"Hmm?"
Taufik tilts his head a little.
"What about her? Is there something wrong?"
"Haaa, it's hard for me to say this, but there's no future for this kingdom anymore"
"the invasion is getting hard for us to defend, although, all of this time the challenge to defend this kingdom is only from the Flying Monster, but we are the Dragon "the king of the Sky", if it is just from a monster in the sky, we still can handle it, but the problem is..."
"The monster that in Ground?"
Taufik said understand Akh'sah kingdom situation.
"Yeah, or more precisely is The monster from the sea, we already exterminated all of the monsters in this whole continent a long time ago, only the monsters from the sea and the sky that were left behind"
"Do you know the cause of this invasion? It's hard for me to believe that All of those monsters just attacking your kingdom without a reason, right?"
Heard that, Akh'sah turned to see the night sky, thinking hard about something.
"... we don't know what caused this invasion, but it all started after the war with the Red Dragon ended, I have tried to seek help from our ally the Green And Golden Dragon but... None of the messengers I sent, made it back alive...
So all of this time we were fighting on our own, I knew that our ally was trying to reach us too, because a long time ago there one dragon from the desert Continent safely arrived here, so I told that messenger about our situation here, but seeing Mahendra didn't send any help, maybe that messenger already dead after he left this Continent"
Akh'sah explained long, but there's something that Akh'sah said drew Taufik's attention.
"...Mahendra? Who was that?"
Taufik asked, never heard about this person named Mahendra before.
"Mahendra, the king of the Golden Dragon, don't you know him? But you said before that before you came here, you were in the desert Continent, how can you not know who Mahendra was?"
Akh'sah said, looking at Taufik with a face that was full of questions.
"... No, the ruler of the desert Continent now is a Female Golden Dragon "Maharani" It's her name"
'Is it Mahendra was Maharani's Brother who was suicide? so his Name is Mahendra'
Taufik thoughts, Taufik doesn't know Maharani's brother's name, although he already read all the books in Maharani's library before, he Naver know who this "Mahendra" was, he just knows that Maharani has an older Brother who died because of suicide from Maharani herself, but she never told her brother name was.
It's Normal for Taufik to not know about this, because after Mahendra decided to suicide, Maharani burned everything that related to her brother, no matter if it was a book or anything that connected to her brother, Maharani burned all of it to Ash, Because Maharani thought what her brother had done was a shame to the Golden Dragon who was a Warrior.
--------
"... What? Maharani? Mahendra little sister? What happens to Mahendra? How can his sister take the crown?
Is it a betrayal? did Maharani take the seat of the king after she overthrew her Brother? what happens to the other Continent?"
Akh'sah asks questions to another question.
"It's not a betrayal, but this "Mahendra" decided to suicide, from what I heard from Maharani, her brother died a long time ago, it's the Messenger from the desert Continent not saying anything?"
Heard that Akh'sah was silent, he remembered his friend, Mahendra, he remembered he was a brave warrior, in almost every fight with the red dragon, he was always on the front line.
"... Suicide? That Mahendra?... What Happen to my friend?... Shit, how he can die from suicide?... Fuck!!!
this Fucking Monster, I even can hear any news from my friends, shit, this fucking situation"
Akh'sah said, almost in tears after he heard his friend's news, Looks like that fine liquor has started to take effect on him.
"..."
Taufik didn't know what he was Supposed to say in a situation like this, so he shut his mouth, waiting for Akh'sah to say something again.
"...all over this time, I don't even know my friend's situation... haaa...let's forget about that, nothing will change, even if I kill all of that Fucking Monster, let's just back to our Topic"
Akh'sah said, but there was still a sign of sadness on his face.
--------
"...
So from time to time, the only monster that invaded us is just a monster that can fly, but lately the monster from the sea somehow began come to the mainland to attack us too, but you see we have this nature wall that was too high for that Sea Monsters to reach, but like what my brother said, that sea monsters it's getting stronger after they eat the Flesh of their kind, and from time to time, the sea monsters that invaded us are getting bigger and bigger...
You that scratch outside of the Mountain wall, right?"
Akh'sah asks, and Taufik nods his head.
"They usually do not reach that high, and maybe in the next Invasion... They can reach this kingdom, so ask you... If you still stay here until then... Please Take my sister to leave this Continent with you... Can you do that?"
"..."
Taufik didn't answer immediately, what did Akh'sah ask, it's just a simple request, And Taufik would do it, but the problem was Anugerah itself.
"... Would she Agree with this? do you think she will leave her two brothers to die here? And... Leave to survive on her own? In the first place, why don't you guys just leave this Continent, I think when you leave this Continent together, it's a huge chance that you and the others will survive"
"Hahaha, you know I can't, right? As a king, I will never leave the land where my ancestors were born and the land where we were raised, I just can't do that, and my kind think the same too, even Anugerah is like that, but Anugerah never sees the outside world, from when she was born until now she always stay here"
"It's just getting harder then, What you ask is a simple request for me, and I gladly will accept it, but I don't think your sister will do it"
Heard that, Akh'sah showed a complicated expression on his face.
"... I have thought about that too, it's just my selfishness, but can you promise me, if that day arrives, will you take her with you?
I only need that, I know I will die, and I know that I and the others will defend this land until the last drop of our blood, I know we will do it, but can you accept my selfishness, so when I die I will go peacefully that I know the blue dragon lineage can still exist in this world, only that"
Taufik can't say anything, it's still hard for him to dedicate that.
"... You know you can ask for my help right?"
Akh'sah shakes his head. Laughed.
"Hahaha, I can't bother you to that extent, even with your help, without knowing the cause of all of this the Invasion will never be stopped, I know you have something to do, I know you want to Back to your world too, so you can't stay that long in our world, right?"
Taufik was silent for a while because what Akh'sah said was indeed true, this snow Continent was their last destination before they back to the forest Continent, and if there's is nothing big happened, he would go back to Earth directly.
because no matter what, he still misses Jenn and his Mother.
"... What About this, in my stay here, I will help you search for what caused this Invasion, and when the next Invasion happens and I still haven't found the Cause, I will do what you ask me to do, and of course when I did, I'll take this liquor as many as I want, how about that? Is it a deal?"
Taufik said while raising the cup of liquor.
See this Akh'sah just smiling, then Raising his cup too.
"... It so? Then we have a deal, I will say thank you in advance, Thank you For this Liqour of mine, Cherss!"
"Klinng"
"Hahahaha"
The two of them laughed at the same time but had a different thought in their mind.
After that Taufik And Akh'sah drank together until the two bottles of liquor that Akh'sah brought were empty.
But unbeknown to them, someone has heard what the two of them Talking about this whole time.
--------
The Next morning woke up with someone in his bed.
That person is Akh'sah who can back to his own room because he was drunk, and Taufik was too lazy to bring him to his room.
So here they are, sleeping in the same bed, luckily for them, the bed is quite big.
'I never thought I would sleep with someone in the same bed except for Jenn, And it's a man too, fuck'
Taufik though look at Akh'sah.
"Akh'sah, wake up it's morning!!!"
"Humm?"
Akh'sah woke up and then held his head.
"Ughhh... this why I rarely drink that liquor, it's too strong even if it's for Dragon"
Akh'sah then looks at Taufik and sees he is still fine.
"Why are you still fine?"
"I'm just too strong, just two bottles it's nothing for me"
Akh'sah then massages his head.
"How human can be that strong?"
"I'm just that special, it's nothing... Okay get up now, although it was fine last night because you were drunk, Now you're already fine, It still felt wrong for me to sleep with Man"
Taufik said, ask Akh'sah to leave this room, Who was the Owner of this Room.
"... Okay, okay I will leave now"
