The divine Comedy: Lucifer's second act

Ch.37 Agir sweet Agir

"we're nearly there"
Cellinia said as she looked out of the cabins window.
"So what do you wanna do when we get back?"
Free asked her as he checked his phone
"I want to go back to the palace,even though my parents just arrived no harm in visiting them again"
"How about you?"
She asked.
"I need to further my investigation regarding the cult"
"I'm sure they left some clues here but something's telling me that this investigation would ultimately lead me to Lunaris once more"
"All I know is that we need more people"
Free said with a serious look on his face as he let out a large sigh.

"Free get ready, we're almost reaching the station"
Cellinia said as she fixed her hair.
"The palace shouldn't be far from the station,so we could just walk"
She said as she checked her backpack.
The train came to a halt as they had reached the kingdom of Agir.
As the two stepped out they waited for Azaline and Douglas to find them.
"Have you two seen Heinz?"
Asked Azaline concerned about his whereabouts
"I'M HERE"
said Heinz as he ran to the group
"I WAS STUCK BETWEEN TWO TRAIN CARRIAGES"
"I ALMOST FLEW OFF A NUMBER OF 6 TIMES"
He began to yell after the uncomfortable experience

"Well if everyone is all set then we'd like to go to the palace"
Said Cellinia as she held Free's arm tightly,she looked happy to be in her homeland once again after a few months.
"You heard the lady,let's go"
Free ordered everyone.
"Cellinia,I suggest you call Your father and mother and alert them of our arrival"
Free said as he fixed his hairpin.
"Damnit"
"Why does she have to pick him"
Said Heinz in an envious tone under his breath.
"Don't worry you'll find one eventually"
Said Azaline as she leaned on hienz's shoulder to comfort him.

As the group began their walk to the palace Heinz crept up behind Free and asked him a very important question.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
"You had the chance,but why let it go?"
He asked looking at his 'Brother'
Free looked at Heinz with a slightly pissed off look on his face
"Many people care for you"
"My father cared for you like he did me"
"I don't want him to lose me again"
"Now if you don't shut up this instant I'm gonna regret doing so"
He said as he shoved Heinz into a wall.
Azaline looked at Douglas after witnessing Heinz being shoved into a wall
"Doug,is he always like this?"
She asked
"Yeah,he always has constant mood swings, temper tantrums and he also treats people differently depending on how much he likes them"
"But I've never seen him get physical"
Said Douglas as he saw a smirk appear on Free's face.

As the group approached the palace,They saw a crowd Infront cheering as if a fight had just broken out,and a fight it was
A man wearing layered armour with a giant longbow across his back,he had a quiver of arrows around his waist and a small crossbow in hand.
The king of Agir was outside spectating the fight instead of trying to intervene.
"Oh there's father watching warriors spar as always"
Said Cellinia as she covered her eyes in disappointment

There was another person against that mysterious man,the fight seemed deadly as the two stood still, tension was rising the man against the former began brandishing his blade, flipping it around
And doing tricks until ultimately getting shot by a crossbow bolt in the heart, killing him instantly.
"I sense a strong warrior"
Said the man.The man then walked out into the crowd the king tagged along behind him as they walked out and met Free and princess Cellinia.

"Cellinia?"
Said the king
"Hello father"
She said appearing from behind Free.
The mysterious man had his eyes on Free.
"You"
"I sense power in your being"
He said
"Who exactly are you?"
Free questioned looking at the man.
He was a head taller than Freeand looked older than him too,he had long hazel hair and brown eyes and wore an incomplete samurai outfit.
"My name is Akira Yumihiko,but I also go by the name Kyudo Yumihiki call me whichever"
"I'm just a plain old wandering mercenary doing my best"
He said.
"We can spar,but later"
Free replied

The king seeing the two finish talking shoved Akira out of the way and looked at Cellinia's hand.
"A RING!"
The king exclaimed
Free and Cellinia were both blushing after hearing that,Free's body froze in sudden shock.
"CELLINIA THERE IS A RING ON YOUR FINGER"
The king looked at free
"Why you really are trying to take my dear daughter away from me"
He said
"Calm down father"
"Weren't you at the proposal yesterday"
Her father than looked at her with a smile and said
"Oh yes I completely forgot, why don't you bring you and your friends inside the palace"

As they entered the palace the queen was quick to greet them but only for her to notice azaline and say
"OH MY LORD"
"AZALINE IS THAT REALLY YOU"
The queen was surprised to see Cellinia's old friend return to the kingdom
"Oh by God you've grown bigger"
"Your hair is the same as always"
Said the queen.
Azaline began to blush as she had never been complemented by the queen before,she found the action to be quite the honour.
Heinz saw azaline and was completely shocked.it seemed as time had slowed down as he saw her.
Her pale brown skin and her Grey eyes with her bright blonde hair.Heinz began to feel.
"Well it seems someone likes a certain azaline"
Said Free as he nudged Heinz making him fall on the ground.
"Well I really should've just killed you,but you being my brother isn't that bad after all"
Free just stood there after nudging him as the queen finally saw his future son in law
"Oh it's uh"
"You"
She said with a smile on her face
Cellinia already began to hide behind Free in embarrassment.
"Oh Cellinia how can I forget your dear husband"
"Free is it"
The queen finally remembered
Free was thinking to himself
"We aren't even married but eh I don't mind the assumptions"

The king barged into the room
"Free I have arranged a royal duel between you and Akira"
"For shits and giggles"

Free thought to himself
"OH NOT AGAIN"

Akira was sitting in the corner as he heard the ongoing conversation
"Let's see his true power...."
