She's That Knight Known as Zero 28 It's Not Yet Enough

Upon entering she can feel the seal within the tower. She can also determine that this is an impenetrable place. Before she could continue her analyzing she couldn't help but stop momentarily and look towards the hall leading to this place.

'Did the king ordered them to move farther from here?' she couldn't help but to feel troubled.

This shows that he was not punishing her but instead he was rewarding her. He knows the fact that she can feel all the auras of the people around her, and the fact that she hadn't have a real good nights' sleep. To let her stay here allows her to rest properly without thinking much of what was happening outside. And the king even went as far as to get the guards move farther from the tower. Truly troublesome.

'Well, I'll just accept this good grace of his for now,' she thought as she went to the bed and lie down. As soon as her head hit the pillow she instantly fell in to a deep slumber. The deepest she ever had after arriving to this place.

Just as the sunrise broke, angry voice could be heard within the hall.

"WHY DID YOU CONFINE HER?!?! ALL SHE DID WAS DEFEND THE KINGDOM. NO MATTER HOW FAST SHE FINISHED IT, IT JUST SHOWS HOW CAPABLE SHE IS," Kaoru's voice echoed within the great hall as he stare angrily towards Akihiro.

"Will you calm down first?" Akihiro couldn't help but to sigh inwardly as he tried his best to calm Kaoru down.

"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN? EACH AND EVERYONE!! YOU'RE TAKING THEM AWAY FROM ME," without realizing he blurted out something he kept within him all this time.

Confusion instantly fell on Akihiro's face.

"What do you mean I'm taking everyone from you?"

Kaoru was startled for a bit before responding, "In any case, why are you confining her? Don't you think that it would be too difficult for her to stay there?"

"She'll be fine in there," that's all he could say.

"She'll be fine? How can she be fine in there? That place is nothing but a prison. You're always like this, without thinking twice you just throw them away," anger took over Kaoru.

"Throwing away? Do you have the right to say that to me?" Akihiro snapped upon hearing these words.

"You are her guardian but have it ever occur to you that ever since we can remember her complexion are always not good?"

"That's-"

"Have it ever occur to you that she wasn't sleeping properly all this years? Have it ever occur to you that she had been practicing non stop to the point that she would collapse?" before Kaoru could reply he bombarded him with questions.

"Being her guardian you should have noticed all this things, you shouldn't have allowed her to collapse due to exhaustion. I am not throwing her away but instead I'm giving her a chance to relax at least even if it's just for a bit."

"I don't have any idea why you were so mad at me. But because I care about you so much I never asked, I tried my best to accommodate all of your feelings. I did my best to understand all your hatred towards me. But to judge me without looking at the bigger picture and telling me that I throw them away without thinking twice. Isn't that referring to you? Without truly telling me what happened when you return here 20 years ago full of hatred. Without explaining what I did wrong you just left and throw all your responsibilities away, aren't you referring to yourself?" they are old enough indeed but the emotions that built up all these years caused Akihiro to just flare up and quarrel with this younger brother of his.

Kaoru could only stare silently at Akihiro. After a long while, he turned to leave, "You'll never understand even if I tell you what wrong did you do. But if what you did last night was indeed for her, then I'll leave her in your care."

With that he left without looking back. Akihiro could only watch his back. 'Seriously, what happened to all of us?'

Just like that the day passed without other events. Karen and the others tried to visit Eureka but was stopped by the guards who was tasked by Akihiro to not allow any visitors for the next few days. At the same time ever since she lay down the night before, Eureka had been sleeping like a log.

On the third day.

"How is she?" Akihiro asked one of the guards as he and Yukimura came.

"She was sleeping mist of the time, Your Highness. The foods that were brought would only be partially eaten," he answered respectfully.

"She really was tired wasn't she?" Yukimura couldn't help but remark.

To tell the truth ever since that night he had been feeling quite good after all these years.

"Yes, that is indeed true. We'll return tomorrow then. And bring Mutsumi with you. That is the fastest way for us to interrogate her without causing her so much," Akihiro once again commanded as they turned to leave.

This momentary visit still caused Eureka to wake up from her slumber. Akihiro and Yukimura's power are just too strong for her to completely ignore. But seeing as both of them are leaving she went right back to sleep.

On the thrid day as well, in a dark place.

"We have lsot contact to all of them, my lord."

"All 40 of them?" an icy voice asked to the one bowing infront of him.

"Yes, my lord. They seem to have encountered a strong opponent for all of them to be defeated," he answered humbly.

"Interesting. Truly interesting. What about the other matter?"

"We couldn't reconnect as well, my lord. We completely lost connection," he answered with a bit of fear in his voice.

Just like that his strong aura exploded.

"Ah who could it be. Just whocould it be, the one trying to destroy my plans."

*****

Early the next morning, upon entering the tower, Akihiro, Yukimura and Mutsumi saw Eureka already sitting down, obviously waiting for them.

"How do you feel?" Mutsumi asked.

"I feel just fine, Ma'am," she answered respectfully knowing who the person in front of her is.

"Then shall we start?" Akihiro said.

Mutsumi walked closer to Eureka, at the same time Eureka closed her eyes as if knowing what Mutsumi would be doing.

"You know my ability?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Each ability have different auras, ma'am," she answered.

Mutsumi didn't question her any further and instead held Eureka's head in between her arms.

Just like that Mutsumi, having the ability to read other people's memories, entered Eureka's mind.

Her face contorted at first and as time goes by it turned to sorrow. As she opened her eyes, tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"You've done a great job, my dear," Mutsumi said as she hugged Eureka.

This action caused Akihiro and Yukimura even Eureka to be shocked.

Mutsumi then looked straight in Eureka's eyes, "Haven't you done enough? You're still a child."

Eureka then smiled slightly, raised her hand and wiped Mutsumi's tears, "It's not yet enough. Far from being enough."

This further caused both Akihiro and Yukimura confusion.

"But how? Even non living," Mutsumi soon asked.

"Everything have it's own aura, ma'am," Eureka simply answered.

"Let's go. Let her rest more. I shall tell you everything in the great hall, your highness," Mutsumi finally said as she lead the other two out.

"As repayment for this kindness of yours, your highness. I shall impart with you a little detail," Before they could exit, Eureka once again spoke.

"Her highness, the queen, is alive."

Like a bomb, all three of their worlds were shooked.

"What do you mean by that?" Akihiro looked at her seriously as he asked.

But without further explanation, Eureka went back to sleep.

"You-" Yukimura was about to rebuke her attitude but was stopped by Akihiro.

"It's fine, let's go."

Mutsumi and Yukimura could only follow as Akihiro went out first.

In the great hall.

"Why did you leave just like that?" Yukimura couldn't help but ask without thinking about his manner of speech.

"It's fine. Let's focus first with the matter at hand," Akihiro calmly replied.

"If that's what you wish," Mutsumi said as she moved forward.

"What did you find out?"

"Your highness, that girl had been saying the truth when she said that she has no memories of the time before she arrived in this place," Mutsumi started.

"So it was a blank. And what is the reason your face contorted and you even cried?" Akihiro went straight to the point.

"Your highness, I can only hear," Mutsumi answered with a tinge of pain in her voice.

"I don't think I understand what you're saying," baffled he could only ask.

"That girl... is blind," another bomb was once again thrown towards Akihiro and Yukimura.
