36 That's A Lie

*Why would I do that? You can come with me anyway, befriend them instead*

*No matter how solitude you want yourself to be, you will still need people to support and help you, you can't do everything on your own*

*Zu is right, you can't cut everything out of your world, we did that. And look at us now*

*But Ao, you still survived*

*Not because you're living doesn't mean you are living happily*

*Are you not happy right now, Ao?*

*We're not, we are alone and then we had to involve you as well. I'm sorry, Eureka. For bringing you here.*

She woke up with laughter surrounding her.

"You're finally awake," Karen exclaimed when she saw her open her eyes.

"I'm not in the hospital?" Eureka realizing her surroundings asked.

"You can't relax in there anyway so the king decided to let you rest here in the palace. Aren't you lucky? To actually rest in the palace," Hideyos.h.i.+ replied.

This place is indeed different, the place has a bright atmosphere, the open windows show a bright day, you can hear the wind swaying the trees, combined with the chirping of the birds.

"*smiles* It is indeed peaceful," Eureka longingly said.

The whole place suddenly fell silent. Everyone couldn't help but stare at her.

As if feeling the stares, she became serious once again, "What's the matter?"

Pulled back to reality, "Ah, no it's nothing. It's just you smiled. The very first peaceful smile you showed," Feena answered.

Her smile was so peaceful that when one is looking at her they too would feel peace in their heart.

"Anyone can smile, you can even laugh. I am a human you do know that," she replied emotionless again.

Everyone thought but decided not to say it in the end.

"And, what are you all doing here?" she asked.

"Can't we be worried? You were sleeping like log for the past two days," Karen pouted.

Looking around, the whole gang was present.

"Now can you explain to us what happened in there?" Raven interrupted before they are diverted to another topic.

Eureka looked at Azusa, "I really can't explain what happened there, can I? After all I was controlled when you arrived," Azusa explained.

"How did you remove the control over her?" Raven went straight to the point.

"*sigh* Would triggering her most precious memories be enough answer for you?"

Not just Raven but Yukimura and Akihiro who is currently present as well, had their brows knitted.

"We can go and ask Ma'am Mutsumi to check it again," Eureka replied.

"Fine, we believe you. But could just the two of you tell us what happened in there?" Akihiro replied defeated.

*FLASH BACK*

"Eh?" Azusa looked around confusedly.

"Eu-Eureka?" she asked seeing Eureka in front of her, holding her own head.

"I know they'll come," Eureka started with difficulty.

"Wh What do you mean?"

"I know they'll come to save you. So until then, wait patiently just stand there and act like a doll. At some point they'll definitely attach threads of aura to you to become their puppet…" she started breathing heavily.

"Pu-Puppet?"

"We have no time, I don't have enough time to explain to you. Just act like a doll until the others come to save you. Even if those guys make you fight against Feena and the others, follow it."

"I-I can't"

"Just do it, I'll make sure that you won't do anything excessive. Ugh," she ended up sitting down holding her head.

"Eureka!!"

"Act emotionless, until they come. Don't worry they'll surely save you."

"Not just me. Not just me Eureka, they'll save us both. That's for sure," Azusa said as she watch Eureka lose consciousness.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"You're saying that you're able to remove the control the moment you arrive? Then why didn't you escape by then?" Yukimura asked.

"He had started the mind control in me before I could remove Azusa's, I can't possibly fight against them physically while fighting mentally, can I sir?"

"Then you were fighting against the control until we reached the room your in? That's almost a day right?" Mamoru asked.

"That's why when everything was over I was having a ma.s.sive headache, aren't I?" Eureka answered.

"And how did you guys finish the fight?" Akihiro asked.

Eureka looked at the others once again, "Why do I have to explain everything?"

"It's clearer?" Hideyos.h.i.+ asked back.

They could have told them the story themselves but they chose to wait for her to wake up before telling the king and the head knight.

*FLASHBACK*

When Raven parried her first attack.

"Distract them, I need a ma.s.sive amount of water," she said in a whisper. Raven was shocked but hid it, understanding what's going on instantly, he nodded.

She then went ahead and kicked Hideyos.h.i.+ then went and fought against Mamoru. Once Raven started his attacks.

"Once that ability user's water affect the whole area you would be able to notice the threads attached to Azusa, I'll throw you to their side, you have to cut it instantly," Eureka then whispered to Mamoru.

"Wh?!?" Mamoru reacted but was cut short when Eureka used her full force to hit him in the stomach.

She continued her attacks as per instruction of the red cloaked man, after all threads of aura is attached to her as well.

Seeing the flood she kicked Mamoru towards the side where the girls are.

Mamoru thought as he crashed on the wall,

"MAMORU!!" Karen shouted just as Azusa approached her.

Azusa thought.

"KAREN!!" Feena shouted.

Mamoru thought as he supported the falling Azusa.

"Are you okay?" he asked looking at her pale face.

"I should be asking you that," she was definitely worried, she didn't know if Eureka was completely taken over, her attacks were for real. As for her, her mind might be free but her body was not. It's a good thing that Mamoru was right on time, she was able to divert the direction of the sword.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Are they stupid?" Yukimura couldn't help but react.

"No sir, confidence. They were over confident. It's not exactly mind control that he used but consciousness wiper. He was confident that we won't be able to fight against it. Or free from it. That's why when he controlled us he only attached the threads in our bodies and not on our minds," Eureka replied respectfully.

"Additionally, if they were not overconfident then, we would have lost. Just as I have reported sir, they have more than two abilities," Raven added.

"How can someone have more than one ability? It never happened before," Akihiro asked, but this question was actually towards himself.

Without anyone noticing, Eureka's hand clenched the blanket tight. And a spark that was never seen before appeared within her eyes.

"Well, it's a good thing that you were all able to return safely. The others said that it was all because of you, I really should reward you but seeing your current face, I don't think that's necessary. So I'll just offer you my sincerest grat.i.tude. Thank you for being in this kingdom, saving it time and time again," Akihiro looked straight in her emotionless eyes and thanked her.

Eureka stared back at him, moments later, "Should I cry, your highness?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"If I can I would like to smack you in the head right now," Akihiro replied.

"This place," Eureka started causing everyone to look at her.

"Has a deeper connection with me than you could ever think, your highness."

After saying this she looked out as if overlooking the whole kingdom.

"But at the same time you wouldn't even tell us the meaning behind those words even if we ask you. Get some rest, I'll be expecting you in the great hall the day after tomorrow," Akihiko was the first to react, he then signaled everyone to let her be alone.

No one noticed once again, that something dropped on her blanket, "And that connection is truly…." Eureka whispered to herself.

*****

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVERYTHING FAILED?!?" his voice rung around the place.

"S-Sire, w-we also have no idea what had happened. They were task to bring a bunch of kids but when they didn't return and some went to check on them. The whole place was burned down together with their bodies."

"So, someone really is smart enough to stop most of our plans. Is that the girl you were talking about?" he asked the one standing by the side.

"Yes, that's why I told you to take her as well, she might be a zero but she's a very smart one," he replied.

"Then take her yourself, that time it will surely succeed, and if you can, Azusa is still a must."

"I understand, I'll be taking my leave now."
