Because of crown prince and prince mikael absent to the west and east, Prince raymond help emporer arthur manage the affairs left behind. Though he still young but he can manage the manage administrative affairs very efficiently. while prince raymond was working for a moment he remembered that before prince mikael left that night he met with raymond, asking raymond to pay attention and take care of aries while he was gone. At the first he thought that prince mikael care only just for a play when he was bored but never thought that Prince Mikael was very attentive to Aries and even ordered him to see Aries.

" What make you care about that child Brother?.. What special about that child that you ask me to take care of that child for you."

Though he only meet aries once and he never feel any special about that child.

" But she so small not the same as her age, She small like a 4-year-old child."

Prince raymond countinue his work, He doesn't want to thing to much.

Aries laying down on the bed she doesn't know what to do and she also did not know why she feel so sleepy right now slowly her eyes closed and she fell to sleep, While she sleep she dream about something strange. In the dream she saw a sword, a sword that was chained on a monument and surrounded by thousands of swords on its side, It looked like many people wanted to pull out the sword but none of them succeeded.

A lot of people were there, some were fighting with each other and some were angry. Aries asked one of the people who was there where she is now but no one answered her as if aries was invisible because no one answered her, aries come close to the sword and tried to see why they wanted to pull out the sword but as she see nothing special about that sword just what she can see is the sword shining like a diamond. Feeling uninterested in the sword Aries walked away but when she only took a few steps she heard a voice.

" Pull me out....Set me free"

In the first aries didn't care about the sound of the voice because she thought it was the voice of the people who were there.

" Pull me out!!!..Set me free....!!!"

But this voice was so loud and painful to Aries' ears that Aries cupped his ears hard. After a while aries looking around but no one was affected by the sound of the voice just now as if she was the only one who was affected by the sound, Aries felt very strange with what was happening now.

" Who's that... and what you want from me?."

Aries looking around waiting if there someone appear.

" You.... Come to me here..."

The voice told Aries to come closer to him but Aries did not know who it was and where he was.

" Come to where... and who are you..."

Still look around but still didn't know who are voice that.

" Turn your back... behind you... and walk straight... I'm here.."

aries just follow the instructions the voice ask her but when she turn her back what she saw only a sword no one there.

" Where are you... I didn't not see anyone here just only a sword..."

Though she didn't see anyone but she still walk like the sword ask her earlier and she walk Slowly.

" Yes.. I'm the sword you see just now.."

Aries didn't expect that the voice she heard earlier was the voice coming from the sword.

" Eh.... Sword... you can talk..."

poking the sword with her index finger. Being treated like that made the sword angry.

" Stop it... I didn't not ask you to came close to do this.."

Aries know that she was a little bit rude and stop doing it.

" Hi hi... I'm sorry... This is first time i saw a word who can talk... What do you want me to do.."

Aries still doesn't know the purpose of the sword calling her and why she is the only one who can hear the sound of the sword.

" Pull me out... and set me free from this place..."

And the sword said to aries, That he had been in that place for centuries. He waited for someone to come and take him away but no one could take him away or heard him voice.

" Why are you being seal in here..."

Aries felt strange why the sword could be there and why she could hear the sound of the sword.

" I'm the Bloody million sword... And i being sealing here by my master...."

Aries can hearing that sword voice had changed a little bit and she can here a sad emotions on the sword when he mention ' my master '.

" Bloody million sword???.....hmmmm.. Why you master seal you here.. And where is you master now.."

In the past aries have heard about bloddy million sword but aries did not know to much only hear the name called by the same people hunters and if this sword has a master, where is it and why was it sealed here for centuries.

" He died a long time ago... And..... Before he died he seal me here and the bad people can't use me as they want.."

Though aries still want to ask him more about him master but hear him voice was sad everytime the master being mention then aries just let it pass.

" Okay... Then... What need i do to set ypu free...How i want to pull you out."

Aries only wanted to help the sword because she feel sorry to hear that he had been sealed there for centuries.

" First Drop a little of your blood on each chain and hold the holder then say I accept you."

Without hesitation Aries took a dagger that she saw by her leg and cut her hand and did as the sword said dripping in every chain that was connected to the sword and holding the sword then she said I accept you. After aries did what the sword said, aries could see the chain that was there was ringing very loudly and the ground shook a little then a very bright light appeared from the sword and she can saw the peoples who had there was surprised what happen but the sword ask her to pay attention then she didn't sees what happen to the peoples.

" Pull me right now!!!..."

Then she pull the sword out as the sword ask her to do.

" Finally... It's being so long this is the time i have been waiting for... I'm free now...."

The sword floated in the air before landing on the earth and suddenly turn to be a adult young man human forms. Seeing what happened made Aries surprised because she had never seen a sword that could change shape into a human in her past.

" it's being a long time since i can breathe i can move like this...Thanks to you... If it's not you.. i might still in seal."

The sword that had changed form moved freely. Aries couldn't say a single words a while seen what happen just now this is the first time she see a sword turn to be a human.

" Hey... Are you there... "

While snapping his fingers because Aries looked stiff for a moment due to surprise.

" Errrr.... Yeah...yeah... How... you.... sword... human... ehhh..."

Aries shook her head in disbelief at what she was seeing.

" I'm sorry... Let's me introduce my self in formal... I'm blody million sword the king overall the swords in this world... And my human name is Cedric violetaly the name giving by my former master."

Hearing that he has officially introduced himself and Aries knows that she also needs to introduce herself as well.

" I'm Aries anthasia lioner the sinful child of former queen of mortia kingdom katerina salina asnel."

Actually Aries does not want to introduce herself as one of the 'Lioners' because it hurts to introduce herself as a 'Lioner' even though she has never been considered as a 'Lioner'. And Cedric could see the aries face turned gloomy.

" So that's it... Well... That doesn't matter what important now is you....."

Suddenly kneeling in front of Aries and kissing Aries' right hand. Aries who were treated like that were very surprised.

" My master.... I will serve you and will be your sword will be your shield for the rest of your life and never betraying you."

Not surprised enough by Cedric's behavior earlier, now even more surprised to hear what Cedric said.

" Eh.... What do mean by serve... sword or shield... What the hell are you say just now..."

Aries pull her hand and took a step back, She didn't know what Cedric was doing or saying. Suddenly she looked around and felt why this dream seems real and this dream felt very long and long. Cedric know what on aries mind and ask aries to look at her back right hand and aries look a mark on her back right hand.

" At the time you released me from the seal, it was your blood that broke the seal and saying 'I accept you' is where you accepted me as your sword, The proof is the mark in your hand now is the connection between you and me.."

Hearing Cedric's calm explanation made Aries' legs lose strength and Aries fell to the ground. Her intention was just to help, apparently she was trapped.

" You.... how dare you make a tricks to me."

Aries was a little angry but she let it go since this was just a dream.

" Luckily this was just a dream or you... I would have crushed you into bread."

But Cedric just smiled seeing aries like that.

" it's time for you to wake up.. Until then.."

Cedrice kissed Aries' forehead and Aries woke up.

When Aries opened her eyes, Her body felt aching as if she had been on a long journey and aries hear a knock door then Lucy entered.

" Greeting your highness, How was your sleep."

Aries looked out and saw that the light had turned dark, As far as Aries knew before she went to sleep the light outside was still bright and it was around morning but now it was dark and she knew it was night now.

" Ahh... i over sleep today.."

Lucy saw that Aries had woken up so she brought a bowl of water and a towel to wipe the face of Aries who had just woken up.

" Earlier i saw your highness sleep soundly then i don't want to disturb your highness."

Because when she entered princess aries room, she saw princess aries sleeping very soundly.

" It's okay... Then can i get a food.. I feel hungry now."

Because she sleep take long time that she missed lunch time made her feel very hungry.

" Your highness, Forgive me... Do you want to eat in the room or in the dining room?."

Because she feels fresh, Aries asks to eat in the dining room only. Hearing that princess aries want to eat in the dinning room she escort princess aries to the dining room.

After eating, Aries went back to her room, because she had slept all day, making Aries feel fresh, so she just sat on the balcony and looked at the stars. Because the weather was very good she can saw many stars and a full moon in the sky. When she was staring at the stars she remembered her dream and Cedric's last words before she woke up.

" What he mean by.... Until then... We meet again my master."

She felt strange at those words but she let it go because for Aries it was just a sleeping dream. She sat on the balcony for a long time and she started to feel sleepy so she went in and lay down on the bed and within a second Aries slept soundly.

When Aries fell asleep, a mark suddenly appeared on her right hand and a light appeared very brightly and a figure appeared next to Aries, That figure only watched aries sleepy soundly.

" Master..... I'm sorry for make a trick to you, I did not mean to make a trick but i just want to be with you again in this life and this life i'll protect you."

The figure looked at aries with a sad look and the words became a mystery. Before disappearing he stroked aries hair and kissed aries forehead and disappeared like the wind.
