EDEN; The Half Elves
Chapter 7_Reception's
"O dear children, you are the solid pillars that have held the foundation of this nation. You will bring the glory and majesty of our race to be the noblest and ranked first in Arda!! We have a long history and have become one of the oldest races here, what are we afraid of?! We Elves are one entity that has the best magic affinity, it is time for our sworn enemies to prostrate and beg for mercy. Together with you young elves, let's reclaim what has been taken from us before!!!"
"Repropriate!! recapture it!! recapture!!"The speech that had just been delivered by the king before all the elves in the hall managed to stir up the deepest spirit in their hearts, everyone seemed very enthusiastic and cheered with his boisterousness. Except one person.
Eden did not show his joy or happiness when he heard the speech of his own father, he seemed to be thinking hard and staying focused even though the noise sounded loud in his ears.
'After the reception is complete we will directly attend the banquet and be given water that has been filled with Bimoli flower juice, Bimoli flower juice serves for testing in front of the Digrasirs sacred tree tomorrow. I don't know what exactly the function of the flower sari is, but considering the sacred tree Digrasirs are usually used to test the strength I think Bimoli sari serves as a supplement.'
"My children, the welcoming ceremony has been completed. Tonight, come to the palace dining room to attend the banquet we have prepared. The next day, we will test your magic power and then enter you into the Viothen Vrawl academy. Go home and get ready."
"All right!!"Sahut everyone who is in the hall in unison.
'Ahh, I forgot about the Viothen Vrawl academy! he said, after the young elves passed the maturity ceremony and the testing stage then he would immediately be put into the academy. Viothen Vrawl Academy is the largest academy belonging to the kingdom of Venttrusus after the Violet Souly academy, I heard there are a lot of spell books and knowledge books. I can cross my limits if I enter the academy?! alright already!'
A spirit finally emanated from Eden, everyone who was in the hall had already started to disperse himself. Eden stepped towards the exit along with Leony's daughter, but was suddenly arrested by the king's adviser.
"Prince of Eden, the king said that he wanted to convey something to you? can you come by the reading room?"Said the adviser named Hell while bowing his body in honor of Eden.
'Daddy wants to see me!?'
"Eden, I'll go alone. You don't need to accompany me, see you~"Lunty Leony left Eden and Hell waving her hands, Ryuu emerged from behind Eden's back and groaned towards Hell.
"Ggrrrwwwwww!"
Eden stroked Ryuu's head to calm him down."Let's go, uncle Hell."He then stepped into his father's reading room, and Hell followed Eden from beside him.
****
TOKK, TOK, LOOK!!
"Come in."
After knocking on the door, Eden stepped into the reading room and stood right in front of the king while saluting.
"Greetings to the king, Eden, the only son of the supreme queen Arashiah, came before him."After saluting Eden just bowed his head down, he did not dare to look directly at the king. No, rather Eden was not wanting to communicate with her father.
The king smiled wryly at Eden who was blatantly trying to avoid him, even though he did not feel angry or upset at all. A father's love for his children can beat anything, right?
"Bless your head, how many times have you told me not to be formal when we're together?"
"The manners were created to be obeyed by all, servants dare not."Answer Eden as it is.
"Are you still mad at me?"
Eden flinched in shock and hurriedly raised his head so that the king's eyes and his eyes looked at each other, Eden gritted her teeth and turned her face away the moment she saw the father's smile. With hesitation, he finally answered.
"If so, why?"
The king smiled because Eden finally used informal language to speak, he actually did not really consider the words of Eden. The king just wanted to spend a little time together with his dear son.
"Can't you forgive your father?"
Eden gritted her teeth and her body began to shake with anger, she turned her back and wanted to leave the reading room because she could not stand the silly questions her father had asked.
"Eden, wait! listen to me, I really love your mother and you too! every night I dream only of him, I also wish that your mother could come back. My son, I understand your pain."The king shed his tears as he recalled Arasyiah, the mother of Eden. Eden stopped his steps as soon as he heard the words from his father, he also almost shed his tears.
"No, you've been lying! you've lied to me again!"Eden turned her body and shouted towards the king."Hahaha, how could mother return if she had become a piece of corpse now? dad, you're really funny."Eden's expression of crying with laughter made the king shocked, he was wide-eyed and unable to speak anymore.
"E-eden?"
"Holyangk us? Hahahaha, love us you said? for the sake of that rotten throne you exiled my mother out of the kingdom, and you still say you love us? my mother was killed by the demon race while on her way, and her corpse may have decayed by now. You're not doing anything and just sitting quietly in that stupid chair, looking for another woman and having fun with her. Are you satisfied now!!?"Shouts Eden.
"Eden."The king got up from his seat and stepped closer to Eden, Eden took a step back while shaking his hand and said.
"Don't touch me, please. Please, don't touch me with those dirty hands again."Eden turned his body and ran away from the reading room, the king raised his hands and then looked at his palms.
'Really, my hands are really dirty.'
'I have to get into the academy, so I can get out of Venttrusus kingdom and find the mother killer and then avenge him. Mother, rest in peace up there. I can take care of myself!'Eden stepped slowly in the royal hallways to head to his room, he had to get ready for the banquet that was about to be held. What will wait for Eden there?
