The four people were sitting on chairs facing tables that were slapped with various types of culinary in buffet baking pans. Several servants surrounded the table preparing to serve the four people.
"Tomorrow, the trip to Runehall will be carried out." said Umm Nazila with the biggest smile. "Tonight, we'll spend some time having a heart..."
Nuzlan raised a glass. "For the success of the Ad-Dakhily family." he said.
"For the glory of the Ad-Dakhily family." welcome the others.
They then enjoy the culinary at the table. Umm Nazila looked at Selena. "What about you, kid? Do you want to accompany your mother, or follow them to Runehall?"
Selena swallowed her food and answered. "As you know, I am now a member of the Ad-Dakhily family." she said.
Hearing the girl's words made Havard sneer, but not realized by Selena.
"I don't want to be said to be a coward while having fun here, while the rest of my family must bear the duties of the state." Selena said firmly.
"So you decided to take part in this expedition?" lure Nuzlan with a smile.
"Of course!" steady answer.
"Ah... become a burden only.." Havard grumbled quietly but was heard by Selena.
"Whatdidyou say? A burden? I'm a burden?" turn it on loud. He has lost his appetite. "Who am I a burden? For you? I didn't tell you to protect me! I can take care of myself!" toilet Selena.
Havard just shrugged his shoulders and nodded. "Just up to you. Just don't trouble us..."
Selena again snorted and threw her face away. Umm Nazila smiled.
"Of course Selena can come along. I think Nuzlan has ordered a bow and arrow for you.and I have something for you too." said Umm Nazila. "As a member of the Ad-Dakhily family, it is fitting that you have such a principle..."
"Can the Madam not spoil him?" hatch Havard suddenly after he swallowed his food. "She has been sufficiently spoiled by Shaykh Hashim. Now with the mistress' treatment of her, she is more and more..."
"Havard! I'm not asking for your opinion!" sergeant Selena with flat. "If you want proof after this, let's fight. I'll prove that I can pin ten arrows right on your butt!"
Nuzlan and Umm Nazila laughed softly at the expression the girl was having chosen to ignore and enjoy her food. Nuzlan.
"I did order a set of war equipment for you" Nuzlan said. "But that doesn't mean you're against Havard, after all, he's the one who freed you from Maung Fortress, guarding and defending yourself from Euryale's threat in Basilisk Cave... you don't realize that because you're busy fighting back, but I guarantee that behind her harsh words against you, she's actually very considerate..."
Selena showed a vomiting attitude, making Havard look at him sharply. Umm Nazila stroked her adopted daughter.
"A member of the Ad-Dakhily family is a person who respects others." he rebuked. "After all, there later, you must obey the orders of both of them. Never fight back."
Selena gave a rough sigh and then nodded. "I understand, mother.." she said slowly.
"Yes, that's my sister!" praise Nuzlan steadily gave his thumbs up and went back to eating his food.
Havard remained in his attitude, finishing food up the toilet and then shoving the plate into the middle of the table.
"Mrs, Nuzlan, Selena. I'm sorry I can't continue with you guys, I have to prepare for departure tomorrow." he stood up and bowed and then walked out of the dining room.
Nuzlan followed Havard until the man disappeared in the hallway. Nuzlan then looked at Selena.
"You'd better apologize, Selena" Nuzlan said gently. "I don't know what my best friend's heart is. But it seems, he's hurt by what you say..."
"But she's also annoying." Selena argued in self-defense. "He even underestimated my archery ability. Does he think that he's the one who's the greatest in Las Mecca?" sulking.
Selena looked at Umm Nazila who was also nodding her head. The girl sighed and then nodded. "All right, I'll apologize to him." he got up and left the room.
Nuzlan and her mother looked at Selena who had left the place and both smiled and shook their heads.
"The mother's daughter is a lion-hearted woman just like the mother used to be." said Nuzlan.
"Who told you the story? Papa huh?" guess Umm Nazila made Nuzlan smile again.
"According to mom, are the two going to get along?" nuzlan fishing line.
"Depending on their maturity in seeing a problem." replied Umm Nazila.
Both of them drowned again in the dining activities that night.
...***...
Havard sat in a balcony, preoccupied with honing his pride with sandstone. The sword must be sharp right in order to be useful in the battle later if it meets the opponent. A long dagger, a gift from Nuzlan lying by his side.
Soon Selena appeared on the balcony watching Havard sharpen her weapon.
"I'm sorry." said Selena.
Havard feigned indifference while continuing to hone the kopesh. Selena then sat down next to the young man and held a long dagger lying on the chair.
Havard turned his head for a moment and his hand stretched out asking for the dagger. Selena gave it to him and the young man put the weapon on his side.
"Are you angry?" ask Selena again.
Havard only took another deep breath and then went back to sharpening the sword. Selena was irritated and grabbed the kopesh and Havard looked at her flat again.
"Give me my sword, Selena." pinta Havard flatly.
"No! Before you answer my question." push Selena hard.
"Which question?" ask Havard again.
"Are you angry?" ask Selena.
Havard threw his face into space. "You don't have to ask. That's not your authority..."
"I need to know." demanded Selena.
Havard looked back at the girl. "I'm just running the wishes of your own foster father.I don't want anything bad to happen to you. You're in my charge!"
"But I also have the right to decide my life." protested Selena.
"Just up to you. Now, give me my sword." Pinta Havard was about to grab the kopesh Selena was holding.
Suddenly he slipped and hit Selena made the two fall to the floor in an overlapping position. They become awkward with each other but also do not get rid of him.
Havard looked at Selena wistfully and then grabbed the sword in the girl's grasp. He got up and walked away leaving Selena alone on the balcony. The girl rubbed her chest.
"What'sthis? What is this feeling?" muttered Selena in confusion. The night began to grow late.[]
