She's That Knight Known As Zero

Feena and the others have encountered more than a hundred of cases regarding those who were once being bullied by the ability users, who became the bully after the war. But no one could blame them entirely, these people were suppressed back in the day.

So Feena and the others could only stand in the middle as they sort out everything. Sometimes it took them a day but most of the time it took them a week and more.

They could only smile in defeat, they were knights but it seems that currently they are more to being public servants. Well that is much better anyway, since there were no major battles for them to fight on.

Hmmm, yes it is much better. For they wouldn"t have to worry if they would suddenly die today. Adding to the fact that the kingdoms were in a much more peaceful environment. Surely the peace is so wonderful.

Leo, on the other hand, have improved tremendously. His complexion became much better, the colors have slowly returned, though he haven"t woken up yet. But Akito and the other doctors could tell that soon, he will be waking up.

Letters have arrived as well. The Confederate and Archic Kingdom were back to normal and that their people were there as well. It seems that they were indeed revived. And that the conspirators were no where to be seen as well.

Another news was that even Hesperian Kingdom was revived.

Upon hearing the first part of that letter, Ichiro and s.h.i.+gure instantly said that they will join Akihiro in battling Hesperian and to finally take it down. Akihiro of course thanked them. But he then read the next part of the letter causing the other two to settle down.

"It is very much confusing as well to report that only half of Hesperian people were revived. After approaching them we found out that these people have no desire of fighting or whatsoever, they even declared that if one of the kingdoms were willing, then they could take the position of being the king of Hesperian Kingdom. These people only wanted for the candidate to show them that he or she would be very much different than their previous leader who only seeks war and battle. Nothing but a power seeking monster."

"I guess not all of the Hesperian people were fond of what their leaders were doing," Akihiro commented after reading the whole letter.

He sighed, if he was not wrong then surely there"s only one explanation to all of these.

Eureka upon using Reset, somehow was able to stop those who pose threat for all the kingdoms to be revived. She had only returned the lives of all those who wants to live peacefully without the strong desire to seek power and treasures.

"Such a precious daughter you have in there," Ichiro and s.h.i.+gure obviously came up with the same conjecture as he was.

"If indeed she was the one who stopped them from being revived then we really are lucky to be the kings of this era. To be able to witness so many miracles created by a lady half of our age. Truly how fascinating and amazing it is."

Akihiro smiled at them, his eyes danced with happiness as well, he was truly proud of this daughter of his. She far surpa.s.sed all of he previous leaders of Aurora Kingdom. And if she was currently here, he surely would leave the throne in her hands and he knows that Rino and Nana would not complain about it at all.

"I guess it is time for us to leave. We have over stayed already. And hearing that our people are alive as well, we know those who are with us would be excited to meet their loved ones as well."

The time to depart has come, the time for them to return home. And this return could be considered the best return they"ll ever have. Cause loved ones and friends are all waiting for them.

"But we shall still be on guard, we"ll still look for those people, who knows they might just be hiding. Still better be careful than sorry."

After a few more words, the other two kings have informed their people to start packing for they will be leaving in the next two days.

Akihiro asked them for another day, he wanted to throw a celebratory feast before they leave. They were unable to truly celebrate the end of war for everyone became instantly busy in adapting to their new environment.

Every extra food and wine were brought out and the atmosphere of the whole kingdom became a celebratory one at the same time a farewell one. Their new found friends are about to return home and they will be unsure if they would see each other again.

The time they spent together was not long but it wasn"t short either and so they were able to create a bond that not once were created in this world. A bond that could only be made when you spent an ample amount of time together. At the same time, if both parties are willing to have an understanding. And that bond was none other than "Friends.h.i.+p".

Their venue was in the open s.p.a.ce in the middle of the kingdom. There"s only the fountain in the center. The buildings surrounding the fountain were in a 10 meter distance from the fountain itself, this allowed the people to have s.p.a.ce despite having too much in numbers.

The fountain were illuminating lights changing from the various colors in a rainbow. There were torches as well placed on the walls of the buildings. This gave off an advanced and vintage feeling to the festivities.

There were tables all around where people could sit and chat. Beside the fountain was a stage where performers would go up one after another. The food were prepared on the restaurants surrounding them and the drinks came not just from those restaurants but from the beverage shops as well.

"As a gift to all of us," s.h.i.+gure started as the three kings sat on a round table in the middle of the feast.

He then laid in front of them a parchment, its only design was the twirls of lines at the top acting as its top border. "Treaty of Peace and Friends.h.i.+p" was written as its header. It was already signed by Ichiro and himself.

What was written were words about peace, it was a treaty that the four kingdoms for the next millennium shall not look or find trouble for the other kingdoms. That they shall live in peace and settle every possible misunderstanding in the most peaceful way.

That if one were to do otherwise then the other kingdoms would join hands in subduing this kingdom.

They have decided to include Hesperian Kingdom in the treaty and another line was created for the next king to sign. Since the remaining people of that kingdom were willing to have a new king from the other kingdoms then they would include Hesperian in the treaty.

"We are unsure if this would really last, but we shall do our best to teach our children and grandchildren and if possible our great grandchildren of what we have learned during this period of time," Ichiro added.

Akihiro smiled at them before signing on the line intended for his sign.

He then looked up, "Yes we shall be the ones to teach them. And make sure that what we are experiencing now could be experienced by them as well."

With that the three of them raised their cups and cheered each other.

"But what about Hesperian? There"s no one I could really send from our kingdom," s.h.i.+gure then opened another topic.

"Either I. Satsuki would already be taken by Theo and Natsuki had to lead Confederate," Ichiro chimed in.

The two of them then looked at Akihiro, most of the squad zero were from his kingdom after all.

"I"m not thinking of sending any of those kids. But there is one person in my mind and I need your approval if I should push through with it."

Akihiro seriously looked at them.

"So I guess the time has come?"

Well if the whole place were in festivity, there was a group who was gloomy. They didn"t join everyone. They were once again on their favorite spot, the lake just near the academy.

The moon s.h.i.+ning down them so brightly, there were only few clouds floating up above. Sometimes obscuring the light coming from the moon, shading them.

"This was inevitable after all," with a sigh Rino replied to Suzuki who first spoke.

Its been two hours since their group came here. But no one was speaking, they were just standing side by side as they all look at the calm lake in front of them.

"This was the place where we first trained with Eureka. Where she first taught us of so many things," Feena suddenly said.

Her off topic comment brought the others attention to her.
