The Royal Princess Palace is on the brink of destruction. Some of the walls are cracked and destroyed. The only thing that kept the building intact was its strong enchantment. Even then, there is a sign of it getting damaged.
The King and Duchess also find Brigida, Lilith, and some Royal Guards piling in the corner unconsciously. The situation was so chaotic they couldn't speak, especially with the four naughty Anna running wild.
"She multiplied!!" said the King and Duchess simultaneously.
"Wiii… I am flying!!" said another Anna flying around.
"Big sis, Meat!! Meat!! Anna is hungry!!" begged another Anna with a pitiful tone.
"Hahaha… Dumb Dumb Angus!!" mocked another Anna while running from the disheveled Angus, who suddenly got slipped.
Seeing this, King Leon and Duchess decide to lower their presence and move back away. They planned to leave this matter to the couple.
Before they could step back, "Ehem… I think someone owes me an explanation." said Angus coldly.
Despite the mess and the chaotic situation, they find Angus is still fine, without even dirt or bruises on his body. Just as Angus approached the two adults, he slipped on the dry floor but reacted quickly and balanced himself.
Every time he moves, Angus somehow feels the floor become magically slippery. If it is not for his superb body control and balancing skill. He didn't know how many times he would slip on the floor. Still, it didn't change that he couldn't move properly.
As he needs to keep balancing himself, Angus cannot catch all the naughty Anna from going wild. Otherwise, he could capture all of them with his speed and skills. *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* As Angus was doing some sort of acrobatic balancing, all four of Anna clapped their hands.
"Woahh… Again!! Again!!" said all four Anna excitedly.
"W-Wait!!" replied Angus before he magically felt like getting slipped again.
While Angus is busy trying not to get slipped, King Leon and the Duchess decide to use this chance to escape silently before the four wild Anna notice them.
"Hey!! Don't leave us alone?!" shouted Angus at the two adults loudly.
Angus deliberately shouts to make the four Anna notice them. The four Anna looked at King Leon and Aunt Extalia with mischievous smiles.
Just as they want to 'prank' the two adults to death, "Anna." a familiar voice is heard beside one of the Anna.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this moment, two Anna suddenly hide behind King Leon's back while one merges back with the real Anna.
"Ahh… Mira, you are back!!" replied Anna while hugging her best friend beside her.
Knowing the four Anna is gone, "Huft… Finally, it is over." said Angus and Jayna while slumping on the ground.
While they didn't truly get exhausted physically, they still feel tired mentally.
'Even fighting hordes of monsters is not as tiring as this.' thought the young couple.
Still, Jayna's condition is a little bit better than Angus. The four Anna are taking turns pestering Jayna to make them food. At first, she tried to refuse it, but seeing her puppy eye, she could only obligate it as her maternal instinct turned on.
Normally, Angus will be there to stricken Anna. Unfortunately, he is also busy catching the other three Anna from making me. Hence, Jayna keeps making food for the gluttonous Anna without stopping.
"Mira, did you finish staring at the book?" asked Anna after greeting her best friend.
Mira didn't reply and gave her silent nod before looking in King Leon's direction. To be exact, she looks at the bottom side of King Leon. In this spot, the twin black girls are peeking and looking intently at Mira.
Seeing them glare at each other without saying, Angus and the others feel like the atmosphere is tense. They are afraid these girls will fight out of nowhere. Everyone knows Mira is very random and even more unpredictable than Anna.
They could only hope Anna somehow distracted her best friend to dissolve the situation. Unfortunately, their hope is going down the drain.
The mischievous and active girl unusually stays silent beside Mira without even making a sound. Everyone could even feel she subconsciously tried to erase her presence.
'Fuck!! Why are you silent now?!!' cursed King Leon inwardly.
Although King Leon wasn't directly glared at by Mira, he still feels deep fear from Mira. He even had a cold sweat and was very anxious. Even the person didn't notice his unusual condition as he rarely felt like this.
After a few minutes, which is like an eternity for Angus and the others, Mira makes a different reaction. Her eyes changed a little bit as if she had just found something.
"Gem." said Mira.
"We greet the Master of Hidden in The Dark." replied the twin girls.
The twin girls bowing respectfully while half peeking from behind King Leon.
"Ehh… Mira, did you know them?" asked Anna.
"Mmm." replied Mira with a nod.
"Really?! Who are they? They are funny and weird." said Anna.
*BOOOM* As soon as Anna finished her sentence, a small meteorite suddenly landed on top of Anna and startled everyone. The damaged Royal Princess Palace finally turned into a complete ruin from the sudden impact.
"Anna!!" called Angus and Jayna in worry.
After the dust settled, "Cough.. Cough… Urgh… Who is throwing this bubble dirt?!" complained Anna while covered in dust.
Seeing Anna is completely fine without injury, the couple is relieved and becomes warry at the twin girls. During their last interaction, they know the twin girls somehow have the power to make someone unfortunate or fall into an accident.
It is just that they didn't expect the twin girls' ability to call or drop a meteor from space. In the meantime, Aunt Extalia and King Leon move quickly to cast some protective barrier on all the unconscious people nearby.
'*Sigh* Just day one, they already destroyed the Royal Princess Palace.' thought Aunt Extalia and King Leon.
"So.. So… Who are they? Are they Mira's friend?" asked Anna, still oblivious about a meteor dropping on her.
"Gem. Acquaintance." replied Mira while also ignoring the whole mess.
"Ohh… So, they are called Gem. It sounds like rock. Well, it is still not as good as Anna. Hehehe…" said Anna proudly.
"Hushh… Anna, they are dangerous." said Jayna while hugging Anna after casting a simple cleaning spell at her.
At the same time, Angus is also ready to charge the twin girls anytime. Oblivious to Angus and Jayna's cold tone, the twin girls only release small giggles with creepy smiles.
Seeing the situation become more escalated, King Leon decided to intervene. Actually, he also didn't expect Gem to drop a meteor at Anna when she somehow 'mocked' her during Anna's rumbling. He also didn't expect the little monster to survive without even a scratch.
'Still, this also confirms that the little monster is not the one that blocked Fate.' thought King Leon inwardly.
"Ehem… Alright, that's enough. As you already heard from Master Mira, they are called Gem. In short, they are something similar to spirit but more powerful. They will be staying with me for… unknown time. I hope you can get along with them." explained King Leon.
"Spirit?!" replied Angus.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Jayna's eyes turned into fiery phoenix eyes.
"Ahh… I know you are a star spirit Gemini, right? No wonder you could imitate Anna, even her exact aura." said Jayna.
"Gemini? Jayna, did you know them?" asked Angus.
"Not personally. I just know a little bit about them." said Jayna.
'Angus, we should not mess with them. Star Spirit is a very unique and powerful spirit. There are only twelve of them. Each of them has a distinguished personality and different abilities.'
'All of them possess power that is capable of destroying the world. I don't know why the Gemini Star Spirit is attached to Father, but we should not provoke them.' explained Jayna through their bond.
'Power of destroying the world?! Hmm… No wonder. Tch… This is more troublesome.' replied Angus through their bond.
'Moreover, why is their name the same as the Zodiac name from a past life? Jayna, did you know all the names of the other star spirits?' asked Angus.
'Yes. They are…' replied Jayna, mentioning the rest of the star spirit's name.
'Yup. They are like zodiac star names in my previous life. Wait.. How come Fire Phoenix knows a lot about them?' asked Angus.
'Star spirit is famous for reading Fate or making predictions. Before Fire Phoenix turns mad from losing her lover, she desperately searches for what she is missing through many things.'
'One of them is through Star Spirit. Unfortunately, Fire Phoenix couldn't pass their test and became rampaging around.' explained Jayna.
'Wait… Then, wouldn't it be dangerous if they find you are Fire Phoenix?' asked Angus in worry.
'I don't think so. Star Spirit is immortal and rarely cares about world matters. Even if the world is destroyed, I don't think they will care about it. They only care about this so-called Fate.' replied Jayna.
While the young couple converses through their bond, only a few seconds pass outside.
"Did Angus and Big sis not like Gem?" asked Anna out of nowhere.
"No. We are fine with them." replied Angus.
"Don't worry. Gems are good. Although Gem is not Anna's friend like Mira, Gem is good." said Anna vouching for the twin black-haired girl.
In response to Anna's words, the twin girls also nodded while still giving a creepy smile.
"Then, why don't you become friends with Gem?" asked Angus.
