The cleanup was in full swing. Lumina, Naiko and Rey were clearing the buffet table. "You have outdone yourself once again, Rey!", Naiko said while she nibbled on the remains. "Instead of feeding, you'd better help us," Rey said. "How can I help you cook so well?" Asked Naiko. "She's right about that," Lumina agreed.
"Hello?" A voice called. "Somebody forgot something," said Naiko. "That people can never take care of their things!" Grumbled Lumina. She handed the plates that she was holding to Naiko and left the room. "Whatever he has forgotten, he will never forget something", Naiko stated and brought the plates into the kitchen.
As she re-entered the hall, she and Rey heard Lumina laughing. The two looked at each other in shock. Shortly afterwards, Lumina came back into the room. When she noticed the strange looks from Rey and Naiko she stopped: “W-what is it?” Rey grinned underhandedly: “Well ... who got lost in the castle?"" Oh, just a guy who wanted to know where .. ", Lumina paused. Naiko also grinned now." Wh ...? Wait a moment! You're up to something! "said Lumina." We don't. ", Rey replied ironically and exchanged a look with Naiko." Now stop! I only described the way to the king for him. ", Lumina said evasively." But your laugh sounded very hearty, "Rey stated." Have you been listening ?! "Lumina asked indignantly." Overheard? That could not be overheard! ", Naiko answered." What's the name of the lucky one? "Asked Rey." Oh ... In the hustle and bustle, I forgot to ask, "Lumina replied." Typical. ", Rey replied disappointed.
"Wait a minute. Lumina, do you know why he wants to meet the king?", Naiko suddenly asked seriously. "Uh, no. I asked him about it, but his answer amazed me so much that I let him go," Lumina replied. "what did he answer?" asked Naiko. "He replied: Death doesn't answer the question why either.", Lumina replied thoughtfully. There was a momentary silence." I think we should pay the king a quick visit. He could have gotten an annoying insect into the house. ", Rey suggested. Lumina and Naiko understood immediately. They left everything and ran out of the room.
It was a long way to the throne room, no wonder, because the castle was really big and it was a big labyrinth.
They were intercepted by two guards in front of the throne room. "You can't go through here! The king has just got a visitor and doesn't want any disturbance.", Said one of the two guards. It seemed way too small to be on watch. "But we fear that Your Excellency is in danger!", Naiko contradicted. "Children should take care of other things. Leave security to us!" Said the other guard, who again seemed too big. "Children ?! I think you weren't really listening!" Rey said indignantly. "Exactly! You are bored and you want to play with the king!But the king has no time for small children! "" replied the little guard. "That's enough! Flame, Rose! Time to play!", Lumina said. The two guards looked at her questioningly. Rey grinned and Naiko just shook her head doubtfully. But nothing happened. The big guard began to laugh out loud: "You want to scare us! But you don't upset us with silly children's games!" Shortly afterwards they heard a noise that resembled a growl and the guard fell silent. “We'll see,” Lumina said confidently. The growl grew louder. The two guards looked around uncertainly. But before they could see anything, the big one was attacked by a wolf. He screamed out loud. Before the other could come to his aid, he too was attacked by a wolf. "Well, we warned you.", Lumina stated. "Come on! Let's go in!" Suggested Rey. "OK! Be kind to them, my sweeties.", Lumina said to her wolves and went ahead.Rey followed closely. "Do you always have to exaggerate?", Naiko asked while she followed them.
