Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Mysterious Ally
After saying all that, suddenly Aurelia spoke to Ryutaro.
"Are you ready to speak? If you are, could you come over here?" said Aurelia.
Spontaneously, Ryutaro and the others went to where Aurelia and Miyuki were standing guard.
And how surprised they were when suddenly dozens, even hundreds, of soldiers arrived.
"What is this?!!" said Ryutaro.
"It seems like your mother won’t allow us to leave here safely, huh Alice?" said Grace.
"Looks like it," said Alice.
Suddenly, from afar, they heard Alice’s mother’s voice, loud and clear.
"My child Alice, don’t resist, for you are now considered a traitor here," said Alice’s mother.
"Mother? Why are you doing all this?" said Alice. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Why, you ask? Of course, because you killed your father, right? So you could take control of this kingdom with him, right?" said Alice’s mother.
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Alice immediately fell to her knees, unable to believe that her mother would say such things.
"What? Impossible, how could you say that, mother?" said Alice.
Unable to accept this, Ryutaro tried to encourage her.
"(Extending his hand) Please, stand up Alice, don’t let your father’s death be in vain," said Ryutaro.
"That’s right, maybe your father died because he sensed something was wrong with your mother," said Grace.
"Remember this Alice, your father handed himself over to Ryutaro, which means he believed you were following the right person," said Aurelia.
"And don’t forget, we’re all here with you," said Miyuki.
"Thank you all for your encouragement, you’re right. I shouldn’t give up so easily," said Alice.
With renewed determination, Alice finally took Ryutaro’s hand to rise.
"Good, now let’s figure out how to get through all of this," said Ryutaro.
Not long after thinking about how to get out of this situation, suddenly Ryutaro and the others were approached by a mysterious woman.
"Good, Ryutaro, just as expected from Kevin’s child," said the figure.
"Who are you?" said Ryutaro.
Alice, seeing the figure, was shocked.
"You? Aren’t you the one who recommended that I ask Ryutaro to heal my father?" said Alice.
"Yes, that was me, but before we introduce ourselves, we should get out of this situation," said the figure.
Alice’s mother, seeing the figure, immediately asked about her identity.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with the capture of this traitor?" said Alice’s mother.
"Tch, traitor? You’re the one who’s a traitor, Elisabet, or should I call you one of the five leaders of the Children of Ruin?" said the figure.
Upon hearing this, Alice’s mother immediately looked shocked and panicked, as the figure knew her true identity.
She quickly ordered her soldiers to capture the figure, along with Ryutaro and the others.
"Capture them all quickly!" said Alice’s mother.
"Understood, Your Majesty," said the soldiers.
Immediately, the soldiers rushed to where Ryutaro and the others were.
"Tch, do you think these hundreds of soldiers can stop me?" said the figure.
The figure immediately raised her hand and unleashed her magic.

Instantly, the soldiers felt immense pressure, causing them to all fall to the ground.
"Alright, now everyone get in the car and leave here," said the figure.
"But what about you?" asked Ryutaro.
"Don’t worry, I’ll catch up with you in five minutes," said the figure.
"Okay then, everyone get in the car," said Ryutaro.
After hearing this, Ryutaro and the others quickly got into the car, including Charlotte, who was seeing the car for the first time.
After Ryutaro’s car drove away from them, the figure entered the palace to meet Alice’s mother.
Once inside, she immediately approached Alice’s mother, who was still sitting on the throne.
"Yo, Elisabet, have you forgotten who I am?" said the figure.
"Who are you, and how do you know who I am?" said Alice’s mother.
"(Sighing) Seems like you don’t remember me. Alright, I’ll give you a clue. Do you remember the name Rin Avelis?" said the figure.
"Rin Avelis? The one who was once one of the leaders of the Children of Ruin before I joined, and who was expelled by the organization for betraying them and joining the first group of heroes, right?" said Alice’s mother.
"Yes, that’s the Rin Avelis," said the figure.
"So why are you asking about that person? Could it be that you are that person?" said Alice’s mother.
"Hahahaha, so you’ve finally figured it out. Yes, it’s me, the traitor you’ve been looking for," said the figure.
Upon hearing that the figure was Rin Avelis, the one who betrayed the Children of Ruin by following the first heroes, Alice’s mother was shocked.
"H-How is it possible that you’re still alive? It’s been hundreds of years!" said Alice’s mother.
"How I’m still alive doesn’t matter. What matters now is that I warn you and your organization: if you dare to interfere with him again, I’ll handle you all on my own," said Rin.
Suddenly, Rin disappeared from before Alice’s mother.
"So, she’s still alive... I must report this to the sect leader," Alice’s mother murmured to herself.
Meanwhile, on Ryutaro’s side, they had just left the Rosette Kingdom and were heading to the Black Forest.
Ryutaro asked his father if he knew the mysterious figure.
"By the way, Dad, do you recognize the mysterious figure who helped us earlier?" asked Ryutaro.
"Hmm, she seems familiar... from her appearance, the way she talks, and the magic she used," said Ryutaro’s father.
"So do you think she’s an enemy or an ally?" asked Ryutaro.
"Even I am unsure. If she was an enemy, why would she protect you? But if she’s an ally, her identity is very mysterious," said Ryutaro’s father.
"So what should we do?" asked Ryutaro.
"For now, be cautious around her," said Ryutaro’s father.
Charlotte, who was sitting in the back seat, was still confused about Ryutaro talking to himself.
"By the way, he’s talking to himself again. Is he talking to his father?" asked Charlotte.
"Yes, he always talks like that when speaking to his father," said Grace.
"By the way, what is this? Why is it moving? And if this is a carriage, why is there no horse, but it moves?" asked Charlotte.
"Oh, this is called a car. It’s like a carriage, but more practical," said Miyuki.
"Ah, so that’s what it is," said Charlotte.
"Don’t worry, Charlotte. We were all confused about this at first," said Aurelia.
"That’s right," said Alice.
They all laughed at their lack of knowledge about the car. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Not long after that, Ryutaro finished talking to his father and saw them laughing, which confused him.
"Hey, why are you all laughing? What’s so funny?" asked Ryutaro.
"We’re laughing because we didn’t know anything about this car," said Grace.
"Yeah, that’s true," said Aurelia.
"Sorry, next time when I have time, I’ll explain everything from my world so you won’t be surprised by things like this," said Ryutaro.
After seeing Ryutaro’s behavior, suddenly Rin appeared before them.
"Wow, looks like something fun is happening here," said Rin.
"You’re the one from earlier, right?" asked Ryutaro.
"Who else would it be but me?" said Rin.
"Okay, okay, so can you tell us who you really are?" asked Ryutaro.
"Sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Rin Avelis, your father’s comrade-in-arms," said Rin.
After hearing her introduction, Ryutaro quickly asked his father.
"Dad, she said she’s your comrade-in-arms. Do you know her?" asked Ryutaro.
"Rin, huh? Oh, yeah, I know her. She was one of the leaders of the Children of Ruin, whom I saved," said Ryutaro’s father.
"What? A member of the Children of Ruin? Why did you save her?" asked Ryutaro.
"Well then, I’ll tell you everything again," said Ryutaro’s father.
Meanwhile, Alice’s father was telling the story of when he saved Rin from the Children of Ruin organization, and Rin’s expression was the same as theirs when they first saw her.
"Wait, he’s talking to himself again. What’s going on?" said Rin.
"He’s talking to his father," said Grace.
"Ha? He’s talking to Kevin?" said Rin.
"Of course, but I’m curious. How did you meet Ryutaro’s father?" said Grace.
"That’s right. If you don’t mind, could you tell us everything?" said Aurelia.
Seeing them all pleading, Rin finally told them everything from the beginning, how she met Ryutaro’s father until now.
Who is Rin really? Is she an enemy? And what will the leader of the Children of Ruin think when he learns that Rin is still alive? Stay tuned for Chapter 44.
