6 months have pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. And within that 6 months a lot of things have happened.True to his words, the silent execution of the conspirators were made public the day after Akihiro have tasked Dai to finish up all the evidence. What they have announced was that, all conspirators still tried ro retaliate while in their cell causing them to have no other choice but to execute them right there and then. Their bodies were burned to ashes having no more bodies to be seen by the people.
The two guards were made to sign that they shall not disclose any informations of what had happened that day. They were also informed that it was Akihiro who have tasked someone to eradicate them.
Before anyone could react. He had added, "And if anyone of you would be found out as an accomplice of theirs we shall execute you as well. If anyone complains despite seeing all the evidences and how grave their faults are, we shall banish you from the kingdoms territories."
With the same voice and the same light in his eyes as his father, he had declared that he shall no longer tolirate anymore infidelities, towards him nor his queen.
Right there and then Haruka was reintroduced. They have explained that she have left in order to be safe but those conspirators still followed her and tried to kill her causing her to fall off a cliff. She had survived this fall and was then found by her family. It"s just too nad that she have lost all her memories from while she was staying in Aurora kingdom. That was when they had announced that she is actually the princess of Archic Kingdom.
Different reactions were given. Some were shocked that she had actually lost her memories, especially those who were at the ball. Some were truly happy while others are still a little bit confused.
During this six months as well, Raven and the others were able to be more familiar with their abilities. Allowing them to use even those elements that are surrounding them. Giving them more chance of fighting while using minimal energy.
Azusa improved so much in her dual weilding that she could already be on par with Raven without him using his ability. But not always.
Theo was even more impressive. He was able to finish training under Eureka within this six months. He became so good that Akihiro even said that he is already one of the best archers they have within the kingdom. Haruka added that he might even be the best archer in Archic Kingdom.
Theo have already told the others as well that he had given up on Eureka, and during this time as well. His being a prince was found out.
"Why are you giving up so easily?" Karen couldn"t help but ask. It was so short after all.
"I"m not giving up because I an being a coward. I am giving up to allow myself to find the rightful person for me at the earliest time," was what he had answered as he drunk more in his cup.
"But isn"t it that you almost just confessed?"
"I might, but she had rejected me in so many ways that I am already completely broken," he bitterly answered.
"She really is ruthless," Hideyos.h.i.+ commented.
"And yet that ruthlessness of hers is also her kindness. She didn"t allow me to have false hopes that maybe one day she would reciprocate my feelings. She had rejected me in the mist painful ways in order for me to give up earlier. And move on faster. I was just too stubborn that"s why I didn"t easily accepted it."
He then stood up as he raised his cup, "Who cares. I am the prince of Archic Kingdom, I could find the girl for me in an instant," he drunk the remaining contents of his cup before dropping down on the table, unconscious.
The other six could only shake their heads, with so many witnesses obviously his ident.i.ty would be known by all.
The very next day, the news of him being a prince spread like fire. Lady n.o.bles suddenly came knocking at their door wanting an audience to him. Theo upon finding out what he had done could only knock his head on the nearest wall while listening to the teasing of his friends.
"Wow, you have so many admirers prince," Mamoru commented as they look out the window of Raven"s house.

Some knight even came to introduce themselves and tell him how much they admire him.
"You even have guys," Hideyos.h.i.+ snickered having a different meaning in his words.
Theo could only sight at his stupidity.
The only thing that haven"t changed in the past six months are their relations.h.i.+ps.

"I have prepared the place for you to train the next step, in Kaoru"s house. I want you to prepare for an indoor long term training. So go back hime and prepare," Eureka announced as they met up one morning.
"Ooooohhh sleep over, I like that," Karen commented.
"The time it takes for you to finish this will depend on yourself. Go back mow and meet me at the house in the afternoon," Eureka added ignoring Karen"s comment.
"How about me?" Theo and Azusa asked at the same time.
"Theo, your have trained alongside them, haven"t you noticed your improvement of doing the same as they are? You shall train with them on this next step."
"Azusa you have improved so much, your next training will be different from them but it will help you improve as well, you should come with me in meeting the king and sir headknight. I shall inform them of the training you all shall be going to do."
They then went on their own ways.
"Why?" Yukimura asked, after meeting with them Eureka proposed her idea.
"Are you serious Eureka?" Azusa asked as well, she was fl.u.s.tered upon hearing it.
"I am, you have improved so much that those knights are no longer a challenge to you. I want you to train with generals and captains now."
"But how about her..." Yukimura trailed off, he wanted to ask about Azusa"s ability but couldn"t do so.
"It"s alright sir, we have talked about it already. Right now I just want to improve myself physically," Azusa said a.s.suringly.
Akihiro could see the changes within this girl in the past six months. There were a time where she looked dead as if something is weighing on her mind. But somehow she had pulled herself up and was able to stand back up. Firmer than before. She had indeed matured a lot.
"If that is your decision I shall grant it then. Yukimura go on and inform their captains and generals."
"Then we shall take our leave now, your highness," Eureka said bowing down.
"How about the other matter?" Akihiro asked using the same distant voice as what she had just used.
"Kaoru is almost done, your highness. We shall proceed as planned after he was able to learn it," Eureka replied respectfully.
"I see. Then you are dismissed."
Eureka and Azusa bowed down before leaving. Just as the door closed.
"Ouch!!" Akihiro glared at Yukimura who smacked his head.
"You really... You wanted to return your actions to normal but you always use that same voice whenever you talk with her."
"What? You expect me to be the first to apologize? No I"m still the king, she should apologize first before we could return back to normal," Akihiro retorted.
After their fight six months ago, the two of them became visibly distant. When they indeed started talking, her voice and manner changed drastically that all of them stared blankly at her. Sometimes Haruka, who became more at ease, would tease him about missing her att.i.ttude.
"I don"t think she"ll ever apologize. She once told me that she would rather figt head on without respect in irder to get to the other person her point. She"d rather not be someone who alwats respects but couldn"t speak up their minds at all. So many have died already, was her last words."
Kaoru came out from the connecting door. His words made both Akihiro and Yukimira fell into deep thought.

"Eureka?" Azusa started.
"Is it possible for me to stay at your place as well while they are training? Don"t worry I won"t be a bother."
"Suite your self," was her only reply but its enough to make Azusa happy.
she thought at the same time.
