Tentu! Berikut versi pemberitahuan seperti yang kamu tulis di Bab 12, tapi dalam bahasa Inggris:
ItsJustDafa: Hey yoo! Author here. Just wanted to let you know that from now on, Pandora will refer to Vivian as Master. Why? Well… because it sounds cooler and fits better with the vibe!
Alright, that's all—enjoy the chapter, and don't forget to vote!
---
Panic spread throughout the city, torchlight illuminating the streets. Citizens pushed, trampled, and scrambled to save themselves and their families.
Vivian soared through the sky with Pandora in her arms.
BOOM!!!
Pandora saw an explosion at the city gate. "Master!!!" she shouted, signaling.
Vivian sped up.
---
Point of view change...
"Hah... Hah... Hah..." Agramon and the others were out of breath, unable to match the Demon Queen's power.
"C-Commander... What should we do?" Ivan asked, panting heavily.
Agramon had no idea.
Velmora stepped forward and attempted to attack.
"HIYAAH!!!"
She swung her sword. The Demon Queen effortlessly caught the blade.
Velmora's hands trembled as she tried to pull her sword back. "I-it won't move..."
TSING!!!
The Queen snapped Velmora's sword and then choked her with one hand.
"MOTHER!!!" Zura and Zuri screamed, casting magic as they ran. "Let her go!!!"
The Queen raised her left hand. "Pathetic!" she spat.
In an instant, a powerful gust of wind sent Zura and Zuri flying.
"Ugh... Zura... Zuri..." Velmora muttered weakly, worried for them.
Seeing an opportunity, Rusalka and Agramon attacked from behind while the Queen's hands were busy.
"Fools. Such tactics won't work on me," the Queen sneered.
A dark hand rose from the ground and grabbed Agramon and Rusalka.
"This... dark magic..." they gasped before being hurled into buildings.
Velmora stared at the Queen with rage.
The Queen returned her gaze. "You'll be the first to die."
Choked and unable to cast, Velmora grabbed a vial from her belt and threw it down.
BOOSH!!!
Black smoke spread, obscuring vision.
"Blinding me is pointless. You'll die here," the Queen said coldly.
Velmora shouted, giving a signal.
"NOW!!!"
"Hm...?" The Queen sensed a powerful magical attack from behind and turned around.
KABOOM!!!
The blast knocked Velmora back.
The Queen withstood it, though it left a small wound.
As the smoke cleared... the one who attacked was revealed—Rezafh, the Queen's own bodyguard.
The Queen looked at Rezafh with contempt. "That was... unexpected."
Rezafh charged without a word.
But from above, someone approached rapidly. "Oi! What are you doing, REZAFH!!!" Vivian yelled with her sword.
TING!!!
Rezafh blocked Vivian's strike and leapt back.
Vivian stood between him and the Queen, sword ready.
Pandora was lowered to the ground and ran to a safe distance.
"This is bad! Seriously, no one's on the Queen's side anymore—what do we do!?" Pandora muttered.
"I told you, Vivian... letting that girl live was pointless. I should've killed her earlier," the Queen said.
Vivian didn't respond. She looked at Rezafh.
"Is this the path you've chosen?" she asked.
"Vivian... I've always thought of you as my own sister."
Rezafh lowered his sword. "I already knew the truth about the mark on your neck."
Vivian froze. "Since when did you know?"
Rezafh didn't answer immediately.
"If you had your freedom, why serve the Queen? I knew about your mark, but not your reasons. I was disappointed... but I wanted to trust you. I searched for your reason, but couldn't find it. So I gave up. Since then, I've been working with Velmora—but kept it secret from the others."
Agramon, Rusalka, and Ivan were shocked.
"Velmora, is that true?" Rusalka asked.
Velmora nodded.
Rezafh extended his hand. "Vivian... please... will you come with us?"
Vivian closed her eyes, took a breath, and replied, "I'm sorry. I can't."
Rezafh lowered his hand, disappointment clear in his face. "I see..."
"That's enough talk. Let's end this," said the Demon Queen.
She suddenly launched a relentless attack at Rezafh.
Impressively, he dodged every strike.
Pandora was stunned. "He dodged all of it!? Guess he really was the top guard. Sorry for calling you an NPC."
Agramon, Vivian, and Ivan joined in.
Vivian blocked them.
"Vivian... don't get in our way!" Rusalka shouted.
Vivian said nothing.
Pandora watched, deep in thought—but powerless to act. She clenched her fists.
Children crying, screams of panic, the wounded... it was all too much. The scent of blood was everywhere.
Suddenly, a massive explosion shook the battlefield.
BOOM!!!
Debris flew through the air. A chunk headed toward a demon baby whose mother lay dead beneath rubble.
Pandora sprinted. "No!" she gasped.
She leapt and shielded the baby with her body. Shards tore her skin.
Agramon and the others noticed—but didn't realize it was Pandora.
Vivian did. She quickly cast a barrier over Pandora.
"Are you alright, Princess?" Vivian asked.
"Thanks, Master," Pandora groaned, clutching her bleeding arm.
Hearing the word "princess," Agramon and Rusalka understood.
"So you're Pandora. Do you know who I am?" Agramon asked.
Pandora looked at him. "This is our first meeting. It's nice to meet you, big brother."
---
Rezafh was struggling. The Queen, meanwhile, was barely trying.
Velmora was out of commission. Zura and Zuri defended her.
Agramon stepped forward. "Rusalka, Ivan—support Rezafh."
They nodded.
But before they could move, a blast of magic struck the Queen.
Everyone froze.
"Well, hello everyone. Missed me?"
A voice they knew—playful, arrogant.
"Paimon!?" Agramon gasped.
Indeed, it was the third sibling, Paimon.
"Looks like things got wild here. But sorry—we need to retreat," Paimon said.
Rusalka quickly gathered everyone toward Paimon.
But Agramon hesitated.
"What are you doing, brother!?" Rusalka asked.
"If we leave, all the citizens—"
Paimon cut him off. "We don't have a choice... Don't be a child, now come on!"
Then—
A dark magic blast shot from the smoke.
Paimon blocked it with a barrier.
KABOOM!!!
"Who said you could leave?" the Queen said, emerging unscathed.
Agramon realized there was no winning. "Can I ask for a moment?" he pleaded.
He wanted to take Pandora.
Paimon looked at her. Their eyes met. "Tch! So that's our new little sister. Fine, I'll help—but hurry!"
Paimon and the others held the Queen back.
Agramon smiled and turned to Pandora.
"You heard me, right? So... will you come with us?"
Vivian looked at Pandora with concern.
"Pandora... According to the report, she's our youngest sister. Born six years ago. I want to save her. I'm sure her life has been full of suffering..." Agramon thought, confident she would accept.
Even the fighters paused to listen—including the Queen.
But without hesitation, Pandora replied, "I'm not going."
Everyone stopped—even the battle froze for a moment.
Vivian smiled, gazing at Pandora with hope.
