ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
Upon hearing his explanation, Prince Muraisu's mind became deeply troubled, and tears even welled up in his eyes. He looked at the sorcerer Rufyan in immense frustration and said, "Does this mean that I, too, am going to die anytime soon, and that if I do not marry Princess Husnaila, then that's it, there will be no one left to eliminate those oppressors of Huraisu?"
When sorcerer Rufyan heard this question, he fell silent and could not utter a word. He simply stood up, went over to a corner, and sat down with his head bowed low. In a fit of anger, Prince Muraisu sprang to his feet, went to stand right in front of him, and looked at him furiously, demanding, "Why have you refused to answer my question?"
Sorcerer Rufyan raised his head and looked at the prince without any hesitation or fear, saying, "Not every question has an answer. I want you to know that our staying here is useless; it is like a donkey sitting around with its heavy load. If you believe you can follow these steps to secure the woman you are to marry, then stand up so we can pursue Princess Husnaila and her companions.
Even though there is a distance of at least a forty-day journey between us and them, I can fold the earth for us so that we overtake them within six days and one afternoon. This way, you can fight them and separate them from Husnaila. If you are successful, we will accompany you to the edge of the Kirzufa forest, where we will wait outside while you and Husnaila enter it. You will not emerge until after three days. Afterward, we will journey together to the city of Lairuf for your wedding celebrations."
When sorcerer Rufyan reached this point in his explanation, Prince Muraisu's spirit dampened. He went back to the corner, sat down, and propped his chin in his hands, falling deep into an ocean of thought.
He was thinking of nothing else but the monumental task ahead of him, which completely overwhelmed his mind. The first thing that came to his mind was: how could he possibly scatter these three hundred thousand warriors all by himself when neither BLADES NOR SHARP POINTS had any effect on their bodies? Furthermore, if they were to fight them for three consecutive days, wouldn't they get tired? Secondly, how could he enter the Kirzufa forest and spend three whole days inside it, when even his own father could barely survive a few hours in there?
When Muraisu reached this point in his thoughts, he became furious. He felt that sorcerer Rufyan was insulting his intelligence, as he saw no reason why he would be commanded to do something that the sorcerer himself knew was completely impossible.
