Though everyone was completely stupefied upon seeing his character outside of the battle ground . The knights would hear a person throwing a tantrum every morning during the meeting so slowly they got used to it .
They would even think that Raven was far older than they are as he pacify their king who would sometimes be too lazy to do anything . They only knew that at times, when Kaoru was given tea and snacks, his work efficiency was far higher .
"So you will be returning in another week?"
The current head knight of Hesperian Kingdom, s.h.i.+n, who was just in his early thirties, asked as he follow Raven . The youngest among the three remaining generals . The other two, Yuma and Warren, became the ministers .
The captains were then given multiple tasks that would show their capabilities, both physically and mentally, before they were promoted as Generals . Since the numbers are still few, there are only six squads in Hesperian Kingdom .
"I only stayed longer because of his eccentricity . I should have returned the moment the help have arrived . Well once I return, all this tasks would fall on your hands . The ministers are still busy in establis.h.i.+ng the new laws and regulations," Raven replied .
The two of them are on their way to Kaoru"s office, Raven have had s.h.i.+n follow him around in order for s.h.i.+n to be acquainted to what Raven had been doing .
Luckily, this kind of job was also what Raven had been doing under Rino who was training to be the next king .
Despite being younger, s.h.i.+n respects Raven . A lot of people have challenged Raven all through out his stay in Hesperian Kingdom and not one have defeated him .
They only knew that he and Kaoru was somehow in equal footing, to which he replied, "If that man have seriously taken up his sword and train diligently then I wouldn"t be in equal with him . "
People believes him only because of what Kaoru have shown during the challenge . If not for that, no one would really believe Raven at all .
*KNOCK KNOCK*
The two looked at each other when they didn"t hear any response from inside . Even after waiting for quite a while .

Raven opened the door and they were welcomed with an empty office .
"Somehow I have a bad feeling," s.h.i.+n commented .
The last time the two of them saw Kaoru was last night in his office and not one of the servants have seen him this morning . So people presumed that he stayed all night in his office .
There are a few times where he did stay the night . It was the rarest moments where he did his work seriously .
As they approached the table, a parchment was in the middle .
~I took everything you have to bring back, I shall do it on your behalf . I"m leaving this place in your hands, I"ll just get back our queen . ^_^v~
He even draw a smiling face with v sign .
s.h.i.+n slowly looked at Raven, Kaoru was obviously gone, he left for Aurora Kingdom .
"R- Raven?" s.h.i.+n asked after a few minutes of Raven not speaking and just returned the letter to the table .
"Get everyone who was guarding the main gates from last night till this morning . I want to see them in the training ground . "
That was all and he left the office . s.h.i.+n could only swallow his questions when they were tasked to meet him at the training ground . This only meant that they are about to meet h.e.l.l .
There are three knights on guard during the period Raven have said . As they approach, they were even laughing . Saying how admirable their king was to go out of his way to take back their queen .

Yet their smiles froze upon seeing Raven who shows nothing with his expression .
And their smiles turned to sorrow after they were beaten black and blue by him for letting their king get away from his work .
The admiration that they had turned to curses after the beating they received from Raven .
On the other hand, after disciplining the three of them . Raven sent a letter to Akihiro . Letters arrive faster after all, the letter was mainly to inform Akira to give him h.e.l.l . Not just because of how he pushed her away but also because of him ditching his work .
s.h.i.+n who was silently following Raven felt like he was threading ice . Raven have always been the serious and stern type but he have seen him punish Kaoru over and over again .
Raven noticing the nervousness of his companion sighed, "I won"t eat you . I am only doing this for his niece . She would have done the same if she was here . "
"Niece?" s.h.i.+n asked after finally hearing Raven speak .
"Yes, the one named Eureka," Raven replied as he started fixing the doc.u.ments scattered around Kaoru"s table .
"Tha one named Eureka? The king have a niece with that name?" s.h.i.+n was baffled, he couldn"t remember such a name . Only Rino and Nana . And the new born Hikari .
Raven"s movements stopped as he look back up at s.h.i.+n .
"He has . We talked about her a few months ago," Raven said seriously .
And somehow for the second time of the day, he was feeling bad .
"I"m sorry, I really couldn"t recall . Who was she?" s.h.i.+n asked again full of uncertainty .

"I"m giving you another task . Go all over the kingdom and see if someone knew the girl named Eureka . You can ask others for help to finish it today . I want to hear the report before this day ends," without answering his question, Raven instead said .
Though confused by the sudden appearance of such name, s.h.i.+n still went out to do what he was asked for .
Raven went out to the balcony of the office after sending s.h.i.+n out .
He could still clearly remember . During the first days of Kaoru being the king . People were curious of the 12 pillars of war . In addition to that, the questions regarding Eureka, the one who had the two strongest abilities, were much more than the others .
He knew he might be jumping to conclusions and s.h.i.+n might really be just someone who forgets easily but if what he thinks is really the case . Then . . .
"What the h.e.l.l have you done this time?!?!" he asked as he grits his teeth, clenching his hands into a fist .
He was on edge for the whole day and was becoming impatient . He couldn"t even focus on his work but couldn"t flare up either . The whole kingdom"s population was still big .
Even those who are working under him was feeling his restlessness . Something they never felt from him . He was always in control and was always calm .
Even when he was faced with so many ladies wanting to date him, he could still calmly reject them either normally or coldly .
Just as the sun was about to set, s.h.i.+n finally returned to report in front of him .
"Every Hesperian people have no idea or have heard that the king had a niece named Eureka . "
Raven fell silent the instant he finished his sentence .
He could only think how this is possible . A lot of them still speak of her name on the early weeks he was here . What had happened now? Why did they suddenly forget about her?
As he contemplates, he realized something from s.h.i.+n"s words .
"Hesperian people? What about those who came from Aurora Kingdom?"
Aurora sent knights and people as help . Confederate sent foods and crops as help . While Archic sent equipments as help . Each kingdom sent different helps .
"That is, a few of them were wondering why I was suddenly asking about her which implies that they knew who she was . The remaining number had no idea either . Somehow this brought confusion to those who knew," s.h.i.+n did his best regarding this task .
He can see how Raven"s emotions changed after knowing that they didn"t know who Eureka is .
Raven tried his best to remain calm, as he took a few deep breaths, "Tell me . Do you have any idea of the difference between this people?"
s.h.i.+n, who found it weird as well, have took it to himself to know that difference without Raven telling him .
"Those who knew her . . . . never died . "
Raven felt like something exploded inside his head . He felt dizzy and confused .
Would this mean that those who died forgot about hearing her name? Would it end to them? Or is this the beginning of something he never wanted to happen?
"s.h.i.+n, I have to really return this time . I shall guide you as much as I can for a week . My plan of returning shall push thru . With the two of us not here, I shall leave everything to the three of you . I know I can trust you . I"ll make sure that your king will return after he stays there for a month . "
This meant that Kaoru would be gone for utmost two months and they would be left on their own for about 7 weeks .
Raven have then informed the two ministers regarding the plan as well . Seeing the urgency in his face . They have accepted the current condition and promised to make sure that there would be no problem until Kaoru"s return .
