No one could speak, all of them quietly looked at her."They are your generals, why don"t you trust them? Is it because of the training that those seven," she continued angrily speaking to him as she pointed at the hall with the rooms lined up. The rooms where they are being treated.
"Have gone through? Of course they"ll be stronger but they aren"t invincible. JUST WHAT THE h.e.l.l ARE YOU DOING!!! It"s because of that judgment of yours that caused all of these. Don"t act purely on what you are seeing. Isn"t that the reason why Azusa was bullied in the first place? You gave her wealth and position because you see it as repaying your good friend. But it didn"t, IT BROUGHT HER PAIN!!" all the anger she had been keeping all this time came rus.h.i.+ng out.
"Your not being a father of this nation at all. I gave you that advice because you are not being a father to your family but it ended up you becoming clouded with nothing but family, you are still the king. Don"t get stuck to just one role. All of you, all of you are the same. You all got stuck to one role leading to all of these. And who has to pay for it? It has to be your people."
She looked him straight in the eyes as if she can actually see it, "I h"
She was suddenly pulled in the hand and once again was enveloped into an embrace, "Don"t say it. No matter what happens, no matter how mad you are. Don"t say it. Calm yourself and breath. You have to take control remember?"
Her tensed body suddenly relaxed as she felt his calm beating heart. She somehow lost her control and ended up saying too much. That"s right if her anger continued, then she might have really lost control.
"Raven!" Mutsumi exclaimed seeing her son.
"Mother, I"m sorry we had to return in such state," he then looked at Akihiro who is still standing there like a statue, "and I apologize your highness. We were unable to push through with the mission you have given us."
Returning back to his senses, "No it was also my fault. I"m truly happy that you were able to return alive."
He then looked at Yukimura his eyes talking. Yukimura smiled at him. He then looked at Eureka who"s head is currently bowed down.
"Eureka."
"I must apologize. I really apologize for speaking in such a way. And I apologize for I have to leave for now. I will return to speak with his highness. But for now I have to leave," Eureka said as she tried walking past him.
Akihiro stopped her by the arm, "No, I can"t let you go right now."
"Please, I really need to leave," Eureka replied without looking at him.
"I have to clear up everything with you, and I also need to apologize," Akihiro said his voice warm.
"Then please let me leave for now," she finally raised her head. Tears are flowing down non stop.
"A lot of them are dying. I don"t want to feel it any longer. I don"t want to feel anymore death because I couldn"t do anything about it. Please let me go," she begged her voice shaking.
She didn"t notice it at first because of her anger but upon calming down, everything became clear to her and she could clearly feel each of those 50 knights dying.
Akihiro"s eyes widened, the same with Yukimura and the others.
"Go on and bring her back to the castle," Akihiro said to Haruka, who didn"t even wait for what his going to say when she took Eureka"s hand and lead her away.
"I"ll go with them," Mutsumi said to Yukimura as she followed them.
"Raven you have to go back. It seems that you still need some of your wounds to be tended," Yukimura said to Raven as he was watching their leaving backs.
Raven bowed down to them and re enter the room he was in. He was woken up by Eureka"s shout awhile ago, and despite still being weak he knows she needs someone to stop her.

"Have you calmed down now?" Haruka asked. After bringing her back to the castle, they asked her what she wanted. She only asked for a milk and stayed quiet after that.
"I must apologize, your highness. For such display. I deserve to be punished for speaking in such a way to the king," she replied.
"I don"t know. You always bottle everything up. And now you ended up exploding. You must not do that Eureka, you have to at least speak about the things that is bothering you. You know we can help you," Haruka said warmly.
"I will keep that in mind, your highness."
"Eureka, stop pus.h.i.+ng yourself too hard. Indeed the enemy is strong but you need to keep in mind in this fight everyone is needed. Some of us could only be supports. But everyone is still needed. It seems that everything that"s going on now is causing you your calmness. I suggest that you rest, go and have fun with your friends," Mutsumi once again said.
"But Lady, I don"t have that much time," Eureka replied.
"We all don"t have that much time. But everyone get"s tired. And currently you already are. Not just with your body, not just with your mind but most especially, you already are tired in here," Haruka said as she pointed at Eureka"s chest referring to her heart.
"We don"t know what you went through. We don"t know what you are still hiding. We don"t know a lot about you, but do remember everyone needs a rest even those who are shrouded in mystery," Haruka continued to which Mutsumi nodded in agreement.
Eureka quietly absorbed everything.
"Go on and rest for the day, you just woke up and you were sen to such disastrous events. Sleep for now. Akihiro shall speak with you tomorrow," Haruka said as she and Mutsumi stood up and left her in the room.

*"Stop being stubborn, you have witnessed to much death right now. You have to rest."*
*"I"m fine," she snapped back*
*"If you are fine, you wouldn"t snap back right now. All of us gets tired and would reach our emotional limits. And you have reached yours. Just rest."*
*"Will the day that you die be more painful, Zu?"*
*"When that day comes, I hope you wouldn"t be there to witness it."*
*"Rest now," Ao said as he raffled young Eureka"s hair.*
Eureka woke up from her dream, she sat up and was actually startled to feel Akihiro inside the room. She can tell that it is already past midnight.
"Your highness," she said as she tried getting up.
"Don"t, remain sitting," Akihiro stopped her as he approached her. He sat beside the bed.
After a few moments, "Is Zu and Ao, your family in there?"
"Have I talked in my sleep, your highness?" Eureka asked in return.
"I came to check on you and heard you say their names."
"Have the prince and the princess woke up?" Eureka asked.
"Not yet, they might wake up tomorrow."
"I must apologize your highness. I went out of line with everything that I have said."
"I too apologize for being an incompetent king. I couldn"t do all my roles just fine."
"You were doing splendid, just a few mistakes," she replied.
"A few mistakes and I almost caused my knights deaths."
"I truly apologize your highness. I shouldn"t have blamed you. I"m sorry."
"I"m sorry, for referring to you as a knight. When you have done so much for having only such a t.i.tle. Despite me saying that I treat you as my daughter in the end it was just empty words."
"I am a knight, your highness. Please don"t think of me as someone special. I was just chosen to be the one to carry out the regrets of those from another world."
"Are the other kings the same? You said all of us, thinking about it, I can only be the same with my alter selves."
"The other kings are running on their emotions as well, that"s what Zu have told me. I didn"t meet them. My anger awhile ago just escalated, acting like I know all of them," she replied.
"I"m sorry for giving you so much pain."
"The blame is not yours. But to the twisted minds all those people have," she went ahead and placed her hand on his cheeks.
"I just hope you and the others wouldn"t be in too much pain."
Akihiro furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"
"I wish to tell this once you and your friends are present. Together with those seven."
"Is it a really really bad news?"
"I had been contemplating. If I tell you, what would be the outcome. But if you found out about it on a different time, then that would be even more dangerous. I just hope all of you will be able to handle it," she explained meaningfully.
