It was 3 AM in the morning, when we saw the soldiers or Reudora Kingdom delivering a letter to the outside world. I was thinking that after this war, I will enjoy my life. But there will be a lot of war happening in the future. First against Reudora Kingdom, second against Reudora Empire which is actually looked much more powerful than the current Reudora Kingdom.
Reudora Kingdom seems to be just a small part of Reudora Empire, and Reudora Empire rules the whole world, what is actually going on, on the outside world. Do they have more technology than we have? Or do they have more people? More kind of magic? I am somehow curious about it. But, the one who curious more about outside world is, Morgan.
Morgan has been asking a lot of question to Tousan, which is not bad. But Tousan looked pretty tired sometimes. When Morgan asked too much question, Tousan always faced me, and Nathalia, Nate, also Kasan even laugh on Tousan. I will be the one that calm Morgan down.
We also take a rest in the Palace of Sky Kingdom, since it is late at night. There is a room for one of us, although it was a small room, but I feel really comfortable and I sleep like a log. Until someone wake me up...
"Nicolas-sama..." I can hear a really soft voice, a voice of an old man. He shake my body, but I turn to the other side, "Give me 5 more minute... Rueger..." I told Rueger, somehow I can feel his smile. "You are more becoming Euclio-sama lately..." Rueger said. Euclio?! Now I am totally awake, and sit on my bed. Seeing my fast reaction, he laughes.
"Jeremiel-sama has prepared the lunch for all of us..." Rueger said. "Ah, okay... Thank you..." I said but then I looked at his face... There is something wrong with his word. He keep smiling. "R-Rueger, did you just say lunch?" I asked worriedly. "Yes, Nicolas-sama, it is now 11.30 AM in the morning" Rueger said with a smile.
W-Why is it so hard to wake up early! "How about the other?" I asked and hoping that they are late either, but I got a worse answer. "They are waiting for you in the dining room..." Rueger said with a smile.
R-Rueger! Why can you still smiling when I am in trouble! I immediately wake up, and left the room with Rueger. Not running, but walking pretty fast. "Good Morning, Nicolas-sama..." A soldier greeted us as we passed. "Good Morning!" I said, and again, another soldier greeted me, and again I replied. It keep continuing, until we finally reach the door to the dining room.
Actually, when people are greeting me along the corridor, "It reminds me of Auxem..." Rueger said. Yes, that's what I about to say. I nodded in agreement. Rueger has been accompanying since I was a baby, I wonder what is his purpose. He kept saying that 'Maxwell is the best Family I can serve...' and it makes me much more confuse.
We are right now in front of the door to the dining hall. But I decided to ask him the same question. "Rueger?" I called him, as I looked behind my back. He always walk behind me. "What is it? Nicolas-sama..." Rueger asked me in confusion.
To make it clear, I do not question his loyalty so... "What will you do after the war end?" I asked him. "Hmmm..." He said as he give a thought. But it doesn't take a long time, as he said "I will continue to serve you, Nicolas-sama..." He said as he bow... Oh Rueger, "You sure you don't want to do anything beside serving me?" I asked...
"We live in the free world, I think, you should find the real purpose of life. Serving is not a purpose..." I said. Rueger showed a surprised face, thinking maybe about how mature am I... but surprisingly, he gives me a smile... W-What's with that?! "W-What's with that?" I somehow said what within my heart.
"Serving a Maxwell is an honor... and also my choice" Rueger told me with a smile as he patted my head. He is, too kind for me, I don't even think I deserve him. But I am so grateful for having him by my side, in anytime, any moment.
