Isn't He Jim?

"How did you get away?" Asked the queen to Eliza. While the two of them sat chatting in the living room chair.

Meanwhile, Deryck returned to the outer courtyard to continue his training. Because it seems Deryck doesn't want to interfere with their conversation.

"I was saved by some people, they are acquaintances of uncle" replied Eliza

"D'Brieck? He was very brave, if only the leader of the Prusiudeus kingdom knew, it would be chaotic" said the queen.

"I'm very grateful to the people who saved me," said Eliza gratefully.

Although Eliza spoke with queen Lyana, they were not like queens and bodyguards. But like mother and daughter. They were very close, the queen did not mind her title before Eliza.

Queen Lyana G. Rumbia is the supreme of the West Meridion kingdom. She is very humble and compassionate towards people she knows, but she is very harsh towards those who hurt her and those who hurt her friends.

Inside, maybe queen Lyana is very generous. But if outside, she is very cold, especially towards people she just met.

Queen Lyana was delighted to wear a deep red dress which was very long and elegant. Her sharp eyes and red-black hair that were so long and wavy gave the queen a very graceful appearance.

The hallmark of the Rumbia family is the hazel eye colour. Because only a few people have hazel eyes. One of them is a family of Rumbia descent.

Even though Queen Lyana is no longer young, she is still very beautiful and graceful, even if people saw Queen Lyana for the first time, they would think Queen Lyana was still young.

"Regia's current situation is very chaotic," said Queen Lyana, she opened a conversation about the situation that had happened recently.

"How come?" Eliza asked out of curiosity.

"There was news that Centrical City was very chaotic, Schlanger, Arlod and Cleist were betrayed. They defected and sided with Neiter. Even Hedorven and Enrico disappeared." Queen Lyana gave the news that recently happened.

Suddenly Eliza was shocked. She did not expect it to be like that. She is worried about Jim. Since they last met, Jim went to Centrical City.

"The United of Regia has been destroyed," said the queen Lyana.

Eliza did not know this important information, because she spent days in the middle of the sea.

Eliza's expression changed drastically, she was very worried about Jim and his friends.

"What's wrong with you?" Asked Queen Lyana. Because she saw the look on Eliza's face was very sad.

"No, I'm just worried about the people who have saved me, because they are going to Centrical City" Eliza replied.

"Don't think negatively, wish them all safety" said the Queen while advising Eliza.

"Okay, then how is West Meridion's attitude towards this incident?" Eliza asked.

"While we stay in Meridion and tighten the guard if they land here, I will fight them, better fight than oppressed" replied the queen.

Eliza also highly respects Queen Lyana's decision, because she is very wise and has dignity.

Indeed, until now, the Neiter forces and their allies have not yet set foot on the island of Meridion. Because access to go to Meridion is very difficult and requires a lot of consideration.

Finally, they talked about various things in the living room, and Eliza spent the night at the luxury inn.

The day passed, the magic tournament was held again, that morning, Queen Lyana, Eliza and Deryck went to the battle arena. They sat in the western stands which were specially for the families of the queens of West Meridion and other nobles.

That morning, The Hanging Party also went to the Arena. Because today they will also compete.

Same as before. The atmosphere of the arena was so busy, the audience was very enthusiastic to see the upcoming battle.

That morning, the first battle began with a tournament between the academies. Which they are one on one.

The match begins between the academy students.

Next to the west stand, Eliza who was sitting next to Queen Lyana enjoyed the match.

"I'm like remembering the past," said Eliza in a low voice, she reminisced about the time when she was still an academy student and participated in this tournament.

"Right. At that time you were very great!" Exclaimed Deryck who was also next to Queen Lyana. He smiled and praised Eliza.

Then Queen Lyana tapped Eliza's shoulder, who was engrossed in nostalgia.

Eliza turned to face the queen.

Then Queen Lyana said, "Deryck was right, at that time I fell in love with your fighting style". Queen Lyana seems to agree with Deryck's opinion. He praised Eliza.

In the past, Eliza was the defending champion at the academy level tournament, because she was so beautiful on the battlefield and very strong in magic. So that the queen was attracted and recruited Eliza to be her bodyguard. Plus, the queen had always wanted to have a daughter.

Queen Lyana was not blessed with any children, even though she tried various ways, but the god of fertility still did not answer the queen's prayer.

Therefore, when the queen saw Eliza, she immediately recruited her and also considered Eliza like his own son.

Eliza was also a little embarrassed and her face turned red. She could only look down. Because all this time, Deryck and the queen had always praised Eliza.

"Maybe now my strength has decreased because I rarely practice," said Eliza modestly.

The fight was over.

"For the next match, namely, the match between The Hanging Party and The Ocean Family Party." The host said loudly as he hovered over the arena using a lump of earth magic.

"Looks like our match has started," said Cia who was very enthusiastic.

"Right, let's go down, our names have been called". Said Jim, who invited his party members to immediately head to the field arena.

Jim, Cia and Aya also walked underground and headed to the middle of the arena. Because their names were already mentioned.

Now, the host no longer calls them by the participant's number anymore, but now he calls the teams fighting in this phase by their nicknames.

Although the Hanging Party name was not named by Jim himself. However, that name is already well-known among the audience. So like it or not they have to accept it.

The crowd cheered, they were very enthusiastic because after this the match would be held. Especially when the Hanging party was fighting. Because their mysterious power makes the audience so curious.

A few minutes later. All members of the Hanging Party as well as all members of the opponent were already in the middle of the arena.

Weather The morning before noon was very bright, very suitable and very supportive of the match. The hot sun did not hinder the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Very well, since it is complete, the battle .... Begins .... !!!" Exclaimed the presenter.

The siren sounded. As usual. It was a sign that the fight had started. The sound of the crowd's cheers was no less lively than the sirens.

"Isn't he Jim?" After seeing the male member of the Hanging Party, Eliza seemed to see Jim's figure in front of her.

Eliza asked, why could that man look like Jim? Isn't he in Centrical City?

Eliza continued to be confused. He has not confirmed that what she saw was Jim. However, she is 80% sure that this man is her hero. The one who freed her from prison.

Eliza who was sitting next to the Queen of West Meridion asked the queen "Queen, are they The Hanging Party?"

"You're right, do you recognize them?". Asked Queen Lyana.

"I don't know, but I'm sure I've known him" answered Eliza.

Eliza wondered whether the one in the middle of the arena was the Jim she knew or not.

"You know, The Hanging Party's fighting style is unpredictable. You would be surprised if you saw it," said Deryck. He seemed so enthusiastic when he saw the fight between Jim and his friends.

"You're right Deryck, this match is one of the matches I look forward to today," said queen Lyana. Because she is also the same as Deryck. Queen Lyana also enjoyed the fight shown by The Hanging Party.

"It seems that one of the male members of the Hanging Party is someone who saved me," said Eliza. Because he was so sure that the man who was fighting in the arena was Jim.

"Oh yes? Are you sure?" Asked Queen Lyana.

"I don't know the Queen, but I'm sure from his face,". Answered Eliza, half sure. However, she also felt that it was not necessarily true.

"But, if I have seen his fighting style with my own eyes then I can confirm it," said Eliza

"Well, if he is the one who saved you, I have to thank him personally." Said the queen.

Eliza couldn't wait to see him. However, Eliza still could not confirm with certainty that it was Jim who she saw. Likewise, with Jim, he is still fighting with The Hanging Party in the middle of the arena. So Eliza just waited until the match was over and approached him immediately

Eliza could only wait patiently until the battle was over.

While waiting for their fight, Eliza continued to watch their fight.
