Surprise to Aluna

    The sunlight was so dazzling to the eyes when it had just awakened from a dream. The sound of insects just starting their activity flowed behind the leaves, the droplets of morning dew woke up a rabbit who from night hid behind a bush not far from where Alina lay sleeping. The air was so refreshing, making the tiredness of yesterday reduced quite a lot. Before continuing the journey, some people run out of hunting supplies for breakfast.

    Finally, at almost noon, they reached the City of Tungsten, carrying a wide smile that made anyone who saw it guess that they were carrying good news. After getting a directive from Guild Master Alfrederic that the division of rewards would be handed over later in the afternoon, they mostly people started to separate themselves from the entourage. Almost all adventurers participate in this task, so it is not difficult to process the division of rewards. There were also those who got more rewards, those who were high-leveled and were the chosen adventurers who fought alongside the Alfrederic Guild Master to fight against the elders in the Fallen Angel Worshiping Community.

    For the young soldiers, they were rewarded directly from Veroa, in the form of equipment and several other facilities, including 10 pieces of gold coins each.

    Now at the dinner table, Veroa, Karina, Vina, and Alina were sitting waiting for the dishes to be served to have breakfast together. Yesterday, Karina had a little chat with Alina, due to the unfavorable conditions. So, before the dish came, the two chatted quite familiarly and once in a while Vina also joined in the chat. Veroa only looked at the three while putting on a warm smile, he felt impatient to immediately surprise Aluna about the archangel wings, yet he would find the right time.

    “So, this Vina is your two children? Do I have room to fill this family?” Alina asked with her innocent facial expression, suddenly this line of conversation entered into the topic of family relationship status. After seeing Vina, Aluna certainly felt curious, in addition to not seeing other prominent men besides Veroa in this palace, making him speculate that the two had a special relationship and created Vina.

    The two looked at each other awkwardly. Veroa did not feel good if she answered him, so she chose to be quiet. Karina herself found it hard to explain, because in addition to feeling embarrassed, she also felt confused where to start. When his mouth opened, about to answer Alina's question, a dish came that made this conversation forced to be dismissed.

    Long enough to wait for Aluna to finish her breakfast, she ate really slowly and ethically. There was no sound during that time, they only focused on themselves, occasionally glancing at the pair of eyes that were both glancing at him. Then, smile.

    “How?” Eventually, Aluna had finished her breakfast and started charging for answers to pending questions. His curiosity and enthusiasm look no decline, even seem to increase a little.

    “Alright, listen carefully, Miss Aluna. A few years ago, Karina was not a resident of Sylvani Kingdom, she used to be a noble in Rome Kingdom. There was a reason he decided to move, and knowing that Sylvani Kingdom had the shortest mileage than any other kingdom, he finally arrived here. The king who saw his potential..” Veroa conveys quite detailed and easy to understand, he tells the dark period of Karina as far as he knows without any manipulation of the story or which he covered after several times received approval from Karina.

    During Veroa's story, various expressions showing feelings of anger, hatred, pity, protection, and other feelings were mixed and varied over time. He really did not expect, he even asked this very sensitive thing and he felt guilty when the end of the story had arrived. However, she smiled with warmth and affection towards Karina with a mixture of sadness and regret for not being able to help her as long as she became a fallen angel.

    “I'm sorry I asked you something you shouldn't ask. If my wings were still there, I could restore your snatched crown Aluna stared fixedly at Karina, then she looked at the ceiling of the palace, hoping for a miracle to come and restore her wings.

    Secretly, Veroa opened the Bag system that could not be realized by others, then told Aethelfaed to give a gift in the form of archangel wings for Aluna. He just smiled as he looked at Aluna who was looking up, then...

    A radiance that was so dazzling and radiating a soothing warmth to the entire room suddenly appeared on Aluna's back. Slowly, the light dimmed and displayed six pairs of extremely beautiful wings stuck to his back. Reaching out, it made everyone who was in the dining room that only the four of them were very surprised, he said, including Veroa himself for not expecting to see amazing things without him knowing it would be like that. Of course, Aluna who felt the most surprised, because she who was hoping for her wings to return, suddenly her hope was granted. Moreover, the wings that this time were attached to his back were a sign for him who became a supreme archangel. A sensation more amazing than when he became an archangel, now felt by him without knowing that he was now floating in the air with a holy aura that always enveloped him.

    Both Veroa, Karina, and Vina were amazed by this beauty and majesty, seeing the supreme archangel in front of the three after having just finished breakfast made the three forget to breathe. Veroa still felt amazed by the holy aura emitted, because even though the God who punishes him does not match this, although the intensity of the aura is not as high as God, this is better according to Veroa. He thought, when referring to quality, the aura emitted by Aluna was currently of a higher quality compared to the aura of a God, but the quantity was less than that of him.

    Actually, this incident should invite the attention of – people in the palace. Since there were no bad feelings or signs of danger from the dining room, the servants and palace guards no one dared to peek even a little. They only feel a sense of warmth that calms the heart and makes anyone around the palace will feel warm to do the activity. Lazy feeling because you just woke up, cold skin because of the morning air, or others just disappear. That way, the – people in the palace worked so eagerly for a full day and made Veroa, Karina, Aluna, and, and Vina who saw it felt strange with the behavior of the servants and workers after they came out of the dining room.
