Arcus is completely absorbed in his boredom. Throwing a crushed ball into their room's brown roof. While Yuki and Risi were away on a "task," Arcus was left alone in the bed, a nice, pale blanket covering his torso, and a complete mess. Arcus asked, glancing at the ornate clock that had gold paint on it (which was obviously false).
He buried his face in the plush pillows and exclaimed while starring at the time, "10:35 pm, ugh!" Arcus yelled angrily, his face still smeared and crimson.
Arcus was "Achoo-", hot. He gently stroked his forehead and asked, "Do I have a fever?" Arcus turned to face the window. The pitch-black sea was full with gloomy vibe "scary-achoo-!"
When Yuki and Risi returned to the room, Arcus was already sound a sleep, drooling.
Yuki spread the cozy blanket out over Arcus's entire body. He brushed his hair back and cleaned Arcus's drool-covered face. Yuki whispered softly in his ear, "Good night, your highness".
Risi slept next to Arcus as Yuki took out a bed and set it before lying down and covering himself with a cotton blanket.
Yuki produced a tiny purple notepad. He began writing something on the worn-out brown paper by clicking his fountain pen;
"July 6, Arcus seems to be normal and healthy, but we have encountered the 'Skythes' and i'm pretty alarmed to what could happen. I will never let that happen again" . He then put down his pen, closed the diary, and concealed it under his coffee stained coat.

When Arcus awoke, he got up and peered out the window, where Yuki and Risi were also staring out at the breaking waves of the sea. Arcus straightened and moved forward beside the two. He saw an island, and Yuki nodded when Arcus asked, "Is that?"
Risi commented, "The kingdom of love, Eccendentesia".

The trio is off the ship and entering the harbor of the kingdom. As may be expected from the deeds of the magnificent king himself, it was large and roomy.
They wandered around the marvel-crafted concrete area. With elegant sculptures, romantic buildings, and flowers everywhere, the environment resembled a wedding.
The palace, which could be seen from the port, had a gloomy and mythical atmosphere.
As the leaves from the cherry blossoms fell on Arcus's head, he grasped it and muttered to himself, "Something's wrong." The leaf began to fold into a circle.
Yuki halted his progress and withdrew his scythe. Arcus worriedly asked, "What's wrong Yuki?" To which he replied, "We'll enter the kingdom now."
Raising his scythe, he gestured in an erratic direction. As the cherry blossom leaves fell in a cluster, Yuki quickly and precisely chopped through every one of them. After a portal was casted open out of thin air and the party passed across the threshold, the kingdom's blue sky gave way to a purple one with a tint of pink.
Yuki remarked, "Hybrids also live in Eccendentesia." As they strolled on, Arcus gave an awkward nod. Risi, flying at their side, asked, "Arcus, what do we do now? You said the task that Mercury said to you was a pretty hard one, right?"
Yuki and Risi turned slowly, their mouths hanging open as they said, "Oh yeah, I just need to meet the king-"
"Why didn't you tell us!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two follow Arcus's back, undetectable. Sweating uneasily, he was following Yuki's lead and the mission's compass.
At last he reached the castle. He sighed;"I was just a normal hunter and now i'm going to meet another royalty".
There's a hint of lavender in the castle. The palace was built with thousands of gardens and structures, and it is covered in roses. The crest of the king's crown, or a family mark, is displayed at the threshold.
Arcus strode in with ease when the knight stopped him to check his pass, fortunately not losing it. Arcus informed the palace manager, and the king and Arcus met as a result and is going in a meeting outside.
He thought to himself, "F*ck, why couldn't Mercury just do this!?"
Sitting at a white painted chair with ornate decorations, Arcus cleared his throat. After ten minutes, a man wearing a veil emerged with security behind him. He moved to where the parasol was covering the table and chairs.
Arcus straightened up fast and brushed the dirt from his trousers. Is this the monarch?
They sat at opposite ends of the table, and the man carefully removed their veil. Still unseen, Risi softly whispered in Arcus' ear, "It's the king!"
The man asked, stirring his tea, "So I have heard Lorrie is giving me a letter?" Arcus gave him the note.
"Interesting, well i'm King Lazuli, nice to meet you Arcus" .
Arcus' eyes widen, "why am I involved in this again!?" He cursed in his own world.
