EDEN; The Half Elves

Eps 9_Testing Day

The next day, the palace hall was again filled with teenage elves participating at the maturity ceremony. His Majesty, the ministers, and the mentors for the testing event have attended and introduced themselves. After feeling everyone had finished preparing physically and mentally, the king then led them all towards the southwest.

"Eden, you fucking asshole! where were you at the dance last night!?"Princess Leony pinched Eden's arm tightly, the two of them were walking together and had just met a moment ago. Eden grimaced in pain while begging for mercy to Leony's daughter.

"Ouch, sick! so sick! brother, stop pinching me.......I'm sorry!"

"Sorry what!? don't you know how embarrassed I was when I was looking for you last night? I thought you were injured and caught in the trap our brothers had set up, didn't you!?"Princess Leony folded her arms and pressed her lips forward in a sign that she was upset, Eden smiled faintly when she heard the words from her brother.

"So calm down, they won't dare hurt me. Brother Luck gave me the moon shadow poison as a reward because the two of us will soon enter the academy, but it's a pity I won't be fooled that easily."Eden said with pride.

"I also received poison from the ***** Este, red leaf poison. Shit, he intends to make me constipated and late for testing."Princess Leony clenched her hands together as she imagined the appearance of princess Este, Eden's 7th brother. Being happy when he failed to attend the testing event, imagining it can make people feel sick especially if the incident actually happened.

"Sister Este!? pufftt, it turns out they're both conspiring."Eden let out a long sigh while watching the people who were in front of him, they made no sound, did not make any noise, and did not show any expression other than anxiety.

Princess Leony watched Eden who was busy observing the person before her, her heart suddenly skipped a beat as soon as she saw the sweat flowing down from Eden's face.

'Ohhh! what's wrong with me!? why do I suddenly feel that fool looks so cool? what's wrong with me?"

Princess Leony covered her face that had started to blush in haste, Eden noticed her brother's strange behavior and started to feel anxious.

"Sister, are you okay? are you sick?"Said Eden while putting her hand on the head of princess Leony.

Leony's daughter's face turned red and she brushed Eden's hand off the top of her head without saying anything, her heart beating faster and she accelerated her pace so that Eden was left behind.

'What's wrong with her?'Inner Eden astonishment.

If you pay close attention, people who are heading to the Arc park where the sacred tree of Digrasirs is located are actually quite strange looking as well. They all marched like a family of swans, with the king as their leader, and wore a white garment that covered all their bodies except for the head. Both men and women alike, this began to make Eden feel a bad feeling.

"My little sisters don't seem to be as easy as they used to be?"

"Hmm!?"

"What do you mean Ray!?"

"Ray's brother means Eden and Leony.

The two of them, don't get caught by my trap and brother Luck."Este Ketus.

"Hmph! I already know that, haven't I already bil-"

"Dante, quiet!"Jerky Hizard.

"Sister~ you don't have to yell at Dante, just let that fool go."

"Cihh!"

"When I made sure that Eden had drunk his wine, what was going on?"Ask Luck to his brothers.

"What the hell is going on!? what's going on is, Eden has managed to fool you. You can't be relied on, brother."Answer Moon.

"What did you say!?"

"Enough! although we have failed to stop Eden from taking part in the testing event, but there is no guarantee that he will make it through 'it' right?" Sahut Ray's.

"Nonsense as well, that hurdle won't be easy for him to overcome. We're just gonna have to try hard."

"Then, what about Leony?"Ask Este.

"Leony? let him go first, our top priority is to get rid of Eden."

"Sister Ray, but he knew that I hated Leony. Why not get rid of it quickly?"Este muttered full of annoyance.

****

"Everything stops! we've arrived at Arc Park, expected to prepare."

"What!?"Murmured Eden.

Everyone had been in front of the entrance gate of the Arc garden, where the Digrasirs sacred tree was located. Not only Eden was surprised and astonished by the word Bersiap, everyone who was there slowly started talking to each other so that the atmosphere became so rowdy and boisterous.

"I heard before we go in and do the testing in front of the holy tree of Digrasirs there will be a hurdle that the tree guardian elf has prepared, not knowing whether this rumor is true or not!"

"really!? it's scary, what should we do?"

"I don't know! if only I knew what to do, I wouldn't feel this scared either."

Eden secretly eavesdropped on the talk of those who were beside her, the line had now become irregular and Eden did not see Leony's daughter's nose stem at all.

'This!? did my hunch really come true? can't, I have to find brother right away!'

Eden started his search, he ran around and nudged and hit some people. Sweat began to pour from her face and her entire body, Eden was overwhelmed and had several times mistakenly recognized people as Leony's daughter. Both men and women, they all wore white clothes and looked almost the same. Eden stopped his steps when he saw a crowd of people gathered under a big tree, who knew Leony's daughter was there. Eden thoughtlessly ran in that direction again and found something surprising.

"What! what are you guys doing!?"Shouted Eden, he was wide-eyed when he saw an elven girl who had long black hair with whitish-colored eyeballs being tied up in a tree and watered with something foul smelling. It turned out that after careful attention, the horde only contained men, and they immediately looked at Eden cynically when they heard him shout.

"I'm asking here, what are you doing?"Ask Eden again.

The elf girl glanced towards Eden, a sense of despair clearly visible in her eyes.
