Episode 13: Failed part 3

Afzam walked looking for the whereabouts of the Rajawali martial arts master, his first goal was to search the room, but he couldn't find him. There was no searching in the basement either, he only met Avei, the Prince of the Demon race, stared at him coldly. Afzam decided to turn around and look elsewhere, at least instead of his life being threatened by the sudden attack from the demon.

"I've looked everywhere but Master Rongyao still can't find him, where exactly is he?" He's confused himself.

Unintentionally his eyes caught sight of Rongyao Zhi Guang standing by the lotus pond, where the man and Yozora usually practiced, swearing at each other and even insulting each other. "Why is Master Rongyao there? Alone too. Usually with Yozora senior."

Afzam continued to observe the leader of the Rajawali martial school, he felt something strange about this man. His eyes were not as bright as usual, his lips were tightly closed and his nose was red.

"Did something happen to Senior Zora? I've never seen Master this sad," he muttered.

Afzam slowly approached the man, stood behind him without any intention of interrupting him.

Everyone's energy will not be the same, Rongyao always recognizes every energy from his student, even when the student doesn't say anything, just silent while watching him.

"Tell me! What business do you have here?!"

Afzam gasped, he swallowed his own saliva hearing his master's tone, it was clear that the man was not in a good mood.

"Brother Rongyao, Seniors are really worried about you. They asked me to make sure that the Rongyao brothers are okay." He tried to explain the reason for his presence.

Silence, there was no response from the Rajawali martial arts master . The man remained calm and even, even so the energy that emanated from him was that of silence rather than joy .

"I hope you will not betray this Martial Arts Academy."

Afzam did not understand what the sapphire-eyed man meant, how could he betray. Since he was 8 years old, he had lost both his parents, was kidnapped and almost sold and then Rongyao came and bought him. At first it was thought that the Crown Prince would make him a slave, but that turned out to be untrue, the man actually made himself a disciple and confidant.

Bruk…

Afzam dropped his body on his knees, head bowed because he felt that Rongyao doubted the loyalty he had shown.

"Master, Rongyao. Please don't suspect me, it was you who had saved me as a child. I have promised to devote my life to my Master."

Rongyao Zhi Guang was very surprised to see Afzam's reaction, he didn't mean to doubt the man at all . He just didn't want Yozora's betrayal to happen again, the man turned his body to look at his favorite student.

"Afzam, wake up. I never once doubted you, but…"He turned his attention to another direction, recalling all the relationships with Yozora, they were so close that they didn't want to believe that the man was a traitor.

Afzam raised his head to look at his Master, the man seemed to harbor feelings of disappointment that could not be expressed."Master Rongyao looks burdened, were the people who betrayed Yozora seniors?" he thought.

"Me and him from the same background, I fully trust him. Hmmp, but who would have thought that he would betray even choosing to free the enemy."Ron felt a tightness in Rongyao's chest remembering all the memories with Yozora.

Afzam patiently waits for his Master to continue the story, he can understand how it feels to be betrayed by someone he really trusts.

Rongyao Zhi Guang turned his attention back to his disciple, he reached out to help the man get up from his kneeling position."Afzam, I want when everyone leaves me, you are still with me."

Afzam nodded, he felt very touched to hear his Master's words, in his heart he promised never to break a promise that had been made. " Master, I will always be loyal to Master . Master need not worry, I will not betray Senior Yozora."

Rongyao nodded, he believed in his student. "I believe."

Afzam smiled relievedly, at first he thought that Rongyao Zhi Guang doubted him but now that everything was clear, he was concerned about the man's condition. "Master, do you still want to be here? If so, I beg your permission to return to teaching."

Rongyao nodded. "Yeah, go. I still want to be here, I want to relive all the memories with Yozora, because maybe... The next meeting will be when we become enemies."

"Fine, Master. then I'll excuse you." Afzam turned his body after getting permission from his Master, deep inside he was also angry and annoyed at Yozora because the man had betrayed him.

Sitting pensively in front of the campfire, mind blank. All of Rongyao's words lingered in his mind, and he couldn't erase even a little bit of it, imprinting it deep in his heart. Turning his head to General Momoro for a moment, the man was busy grilling the fish he had caught, so were his two men. He himself had never even thought of becoming a traitor, but seeing Rongyao Zhi Guang so believe in Afzam made his soul boil hot and could not accept it.

" Zhi Guang, will you forgive me if I come back? But... Are you going to trust me like you used to?" He was in a dilemma.

"Yozora, this is…"

Yozora flinched when Tian Long called her name, he saw a cooked grilled fish in front of him. It seems that General Momoro also grilled fish for himself, both apparently former traitors to the country .

He grabbed the grilled fish, the brown irises stared at Tian Long for a moment. The man didn't seem to have the slightest burden, eating grilled fish with gusto and calm."General Tian Long, actually... What made you get caught by Master Rongyao Zhi Guang?"

Tian Long stopped eating, he recalled the events of 10 years ago, no one knew anything other than himself and the Southeast Star Crown Prince.
