The Bride of The Hexodar Kingdom - Chapter 48：Race With The King's Decision

The rock flakes that floated, blazed a mass that was difficult to describe. An untouched wind, never to be felt. A bubbling vortex, one that sucked in anything and nearly destroyed anything. In lucky conditions, something would bounce off the other end of the vortex, the tail, the rear, intact and or maybe slightly damaged.

Locking darkness, and also the mouths of space that didn’t care. They seemed just hungry, just needed to be fed, by sucking all the cycles of the orbit they passed.

“A message!” said an Elfagos, with a disheveled and very withered face. Though he should be awake, considering he had a night watch schedule.

Rubbing the edge of his life, and eyes still a quarter open, his hands fumbled for a knocker in the air he would use to check what kind of message he was getting. If the message was unimportant, and perhaps even contained something bad, he would report it to the palace security.

“Oh, the almost broken message. It must have been a black hole rubbing against it while it was on its way. Where did this message come from?” Fingers rubbed his face roughly, eye dirt scattered like rotting wood powder. That Elfagos’ eyes were golden, as was his hair, which was left shoulder-length, in a slightly punky style.

“Not detected? Ok, I’ll look at the coordinates first. Maybe that big mouth with diarrhea ruined the rest of the information.” While cursing he kept moving his fingers to dig where the message was sent from.

A room with a dome design, semi-circle. The ceiling was made of glass, showing the Star Scutis that glowed red, making the feeling felt so restless because of the pressure from Mirah energy that felt knocking. Couldn’t hold it in, but had to.

Then not far from it, at the other end, appeared the rattling Platinus Nebula, which radiated various beautiful colors in the darkness. They were like fine dust, which rolled like clouds, beautiful twinkles, and also the various voices of the ancestors whispered. From inside the message reception room, only a few parts of the Platinus Nebula could be seen, which looked like leaves in a gentle breeze.

“Ok, I get the point now. Hmm, the Milky Way Galaxy. OK, OK, I get it.” His eyes kept racing, with various codes and also very complicated programming details, lined up like swarming ants. “Very nice! I have it. This message is from the earth. Could this be a message from Prince Aerus?”

The Elfagos pressed a button, to decode the message he had received. In front of his eyes, in the transparent empty air, several writings filled his focus.

He checked the outside of the message. Shaped like a wave, with delivery technology like messages on earth.

“Werden,” said that Elfagos, reading the opening part of the message. “Wow, he said my name in his welcome note. That means he already has the membership code of the recipients of the message. The probability of the security of this message can be close to 50%”

Werden, Elagos who received the message, continued, “This is Hamdi, the pilot of the Elipsis plane with serial number AX10YU, assignment code H0967HE. I was in charge of escorting Prince Aerus, and I received orders from him to send him on a galactic journey. This is not an official trip, you must know about this because rumors must have spread.”

Werden stroked his soft chin, his firm, pale-skinned fingers on alert. After a while, he remembered something. “Ah, the runaway of Prince Aerus. Good, this is the message the king has been waiting for since a few days ago.”

The message from Hamdi continued, “I want to convey this message to King Artesun and also Queen Lunanis. As usual, I don’t mind you getting to the main of this message. I hope you’re not surprised.”

Werden wasn’t a curious Elfagos, but his job meant that he had to. So with his face still yawning, he opened the main message from Hamdi. It read, “My greetings to Your Majesty the King and Queen, who have ruled the Hexodar Kingdom with their nobility. I am Hamdi, the pilot of the Elipsis plane who always takes Prince Aerus on galactic trips. My apologies for our sudden departure, and my apologies I didn’t conform to His Majesty the King about this.

“I should have done that, or I should have provided information as soon as possible. However, some things happen uncontrollably. The full fault lies with me, Your Honor. I deserve severe punishment.

“Your Majesty the King and Queen, Prince Aerus, and I are currently on earth, one of the planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. This planet is 1045 billion light-years from the galaxy IC 1101. I have attached the detailed coordinates.

“Apart from conveying my apologies, I am sending this message to provide an update on Prince Aerus’ condition. Right now Prince Aerus’ condition is good, and maybe even very good. As we flew above the earth’s atmosphere, Mirah energy on Prince Aerus’ body was awakened.”

Werden jumped out of his chair, almost falling if the automatic seat belt hadn’t been wrapped around his thighs. It became very chaotic, and also dark. The warden was impatient and wanted to immediately pass the message on to King Artesun and Queen Lunanis.

But he had to continue his examination on his own. He must make sure that the message did not contain dangerous things such as explosion waves, stabbing waves, or maybe hidden secret messages that contained threats.

It was too early to conclude the examination. Werden braced himself, body ready to return to duty.

Hamdi’s message continued, “Prince Aerus has found his mate, Your Majesty. And he has done the first night session. The seeds have been sown, we are currently waiting for the pregnancy of Prince Aerus’ mate.

“That girl’s name is Lia, a human. She lives in a small but quite busy town. For her temperament, I think she is a shy girl and also a bit introverted. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have royal blood.

“This is not entirely good news, because there are still some problems that we are facing. I’ll give you progress later when I get clearer details.” And the message ended.

Werden was stunned, reviewed the message code, and tried to find another one. Then his fingers fiddled with passwords and programming, making sure that no follow-up messages were hidden.

He had been struggling with his work for a long time. Hamdi’s message was so naive, so simple, and not highly secure. The closing message was even cut off, perhaps due to travel friction.

Even though this looked convincing, he still had to complete his examination. The seconds repeated, the Scutis Star seemed to plug-in power, and the Platinus Nebula became more exciting dancing.

“I heard that His Majesty will betroth Prince Aerus to Princess Harya. I have to give him this message immediately before it’s too late.”
