Michi sat quietly in the garden, his thoughts heavy with everything he had experienced. Suddenly, Lior and Kael approached.
"Michi," Lior said, "we know everything you've experienced or done."
Michi looked shocked. Kael added, "Depri told us personally to keep you safe."
Michi smiled faintly.
Lior continued, "Michi, we know you're in a fight in your mind right now."
"Yes," Michi replied. "I just want to know for now… are Airi, Henu, and the others safe?"
Lior and Kael exchanged glances.
Kael spoke, "Well, Michi, let me state everything for you… Henu is the king of Prussaria now, and he is the adoptive prince of the Knevesnia family. Airi is doing fine with her kids… with you… and her parents, Jigenshi Knevesnia and Velina Knevesnia."
Michi screamed, "Kids!?"
Lior nodded, "Yeah, kids. You have two kids."
Michi screamed again.
Kael said, "We know Airi can't age due to her body, but your kids are already eight."
Michi sat back down, shock written all over his face.
Lior continued, "Aztor Hayasaki and Aeriel Hayasaki are the names of your kids, Michi."
Michi's eyes grew emotional as he wiped away a tear. "I seriously don't know which expression is more appropriate to show now."
Kael's tone turned grim. "There is bad news too. Tadashi Ken is dead. He went on an excavation with his team to defeat something, but he got killed by that… something. We don't know more, but his body was in very bad shape, mostly unrecognisable."
Michi lowered his head, sadness and shock mixing as he remembered moments with Tadashi Ken.
Suddenly, Tieu appeared. "Um… Depri calls us all for the final meeting. She said she has got the answer to start from which city."
Michi wiped his tears and stood with a serious face. Lior and Kael joined him.
