Chapter 45: Where Wishes Go
So the King and Kazana fall into a tree.
Then they fall off a tree and into a water. The king is saved by Senri and Kazana rushes him again only for Crystal to slash him away. When Crystal says that she won't let Kazana continue, he shouts that she's the king's twin sister and that she was in a position to reform Sailand. Instead, she threw it away. The day he learnt that as her slave, he was never able to forgive her. The king contemptuously answers that twins causes fighting over succession and that the kingdom doesn't need two rulers. Kazana responds that he's right...and that's why he's going to kill the king, saying that will make Crystal in charge instead. Crystal hits him away with her staff and tells him that Keane is in fact next in line to the throne, tomorrow being his thirteenth birthday and the day he is officially recognized as an adult, making him an heir to the throne. If something happens to him, the prince after him gets the throne. If something happens to that prince, the next will inherit it. And so on and so on...the fact is, with the current system in place, Crystal will never get the throne.
With a final sharp blow to his solar plexus, Kazana is down. The king moves in to kill him, saying that even if Crystal knows him, they can't abide assassinations. Crystal answers that Kazana won't be able to assassinate anyone anymore and cryptically repeats a superstition to her king brother: that if one twin dies, the other follows soon after. The king simply turns to leave, telling her to take Kazana out and not make a scene about it. Crystal agrees and has Senri help her.
The royals are watching the group leave and the king asks if the silver haired boy is Myrrha. She simply says that he is a fish Anima. Hashas, still there for some fucking reason, figures out who "Sapphire" really is...
The group looks over Kazana who finally wakes up. Here, we learn that not only is Crystal Husky's aunt but that she's the one who taught him staff fighting. Husky wanted her to know that he was alive too...and Nana teases him for liking his aunt, namely more for her traditionally masculine qualities (gallantry, bravery) so he hates other girls even more. Husky promptly beats their asses.
Later at night, Husky is on the roof. Crystal joins him to tell him that she's arranged a ship to take him Asteria. He tells her that he's going to build a life with his friends in Asteria, which Crystal is happy to hear. She tells him he's made good friends...
The next day, the group is at the harbor. Nana runs up in new clothes along with Crystal's old clothes for everyone. She thanks Husky for coming back with them and he brushes her off, tsundere-style. Kazana, also there, calls Cooro over. He says he's going to Crystal's plantation (ugh...) to lay low for a while. Apparently, a lot of guys lose their Anima while there. He asks Cooro if it's true that people lose their Anima when they're fulfilled, as if Cooro is supposed to know that. Cooro answers that if fulfilled means happy, he's happy even though he's an Anima. He can fly, he can get food, he has friends...what more do you need in life?
Kazana laughs, saying Cooro is strange and Cooro says that Kazana is happy too, probably because Crystal was nice to him. Kazana blushes. Cooro gets hit.
