Reborn As A Haier-Elvian: The Blood Hunter And The Warlock (Replace To New Account)

Chapter 18 "Black Banquet"

Along with the greenish light that permeated into the darkness, a warmth flowed into my chest, then spread throughout the body. My ears can now catch the sound. The stiff fingers can now be moved freely. Slowly my consciousness recovered.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the white ceiling of the room was quite high. An elegant looking crystal lamp was hung right in the middle of the room. I found myself on the bed. Then my eyes swept around. In this room I'm not alone, there are two others. A woman in a waiter-like uniform was making something in the corner of the room, while another man was reading a book beside the bed.

Then I woke up and rubbed my eyes to clear my eyes. After that, I could clearly see their faces. The man seemed to notice me, he turned his gaze away from the pages of the book.

"You awake? How are you doing now?" ask the man warmly. It was the sight and sigh he had given me. Reconcile the heart and drive away anxiety. Such a powerful effect of a sincere smile.

I nodded slowly at that Pigtailed Elvian. "Lumayan, but my body is still a little sick."

On sight, my entire external wound was almost completely gone. Only internal wounds are still felt, especially on the stomach. It was in that part that I was often kicked and beaten viciously. Recalling that time made me nauseous and horrified. Really, I really wanted to forget about that incident and assume it never happened.

"Please drink!" Suddenly the maid who was in the corner of the room, thrusting a glass of blackish liquid that smelled stinging. When I was confused, he seemed to have understood and answered first, "it's a medicinal herb to treat internal injuries."

I'm beeping. There were grass clippings and plant stalks inside. The liquid also has a strange smell like rotten vegetables and fishy fish. Even I was shuffled backwards when the scent reached my nostrils. Then my gaze turned to Elvian Pigtail, he nodded and smiled faintly, as if to reassure. I shouldn't trust strangers easily. But who else should I trust? Other than the man who saved me from that dark room.

Slowly but surely, I brought the glass closer to my mouth. Once the water has reached the edge of the tongue, I immediately drink a lot until it runs out. Of course because it does not want the strange taste of the herb left in the mouth. I almost spewed it back if the waiter hadn't stopped me.

"Don't spit!" yells. I had to go back to swallowing the vomit that had reached my throat.

"Huek .. It feels very strange. What's this made of?"

"Sand of purple twigs and octopus ink. It is very effective to heal internal wounds when consumed regularly every day."

"So I have to keep drinking this?" I asked while looking disgusted at the empty glass in my hand.

The woman nodded.

"You must drink it in order to make a full recovery" said Elvian Berkuncir meekly.

Then his gaze turned to my hand and clasped my finger. All my nails were removed during torture. The tips of my fingers were like meat that had just been sliced. I stared in horror and fear. Not only am I alone, so is Elvian Pigtail. His look was sweet and he looked pitying.

Then he raised his head, so that our eyes met. "You'll be safe here, no one will ever hurt you again. So don't be afraid! You'll be treated until you're fully healed."

"Thank you .. emm ...."

Shocked to hear that he was a prince of the land, I decided to press his current position. "My name is Anggi Mandatria, as you know, I am Haier-Elvian." We shook hands as a sign of introductions.

"Then, what are you doing in this town? You must know that this is Elvian territory, right?"

"The story is long" I answered briefly.

"Tell me! We have plenty of time to do it."

\======================

"So then," muttered Elvian Berkuncir—I mean Keylan. "You got carried away by a trade cargo here by accident. Indeed, a few days ago this city made a transaction with Sigrotia Iuna North. But until it has to go into a barrel containing pickles ..is that what makes your body smell sour? Very funny!"

The man could not help but laugh and immediately chuckled. Repeatedly he said 'pickles' and 'pongs' while looking at me. I don't know why I'm being a little upset. The figure is reminiscent of a friend who laughs the earliest if I have bad luck. Maybe because that's what made me subconsciously hit him on the shoulder with the rest of my energy.

The atmosphere was momentarily silent. The sound of Keylan's laughter seemed to disappear into the air. Surprise appeared on his face and the waiter. It took me five seconds to realize that I had hit a prince.

"Eh, um .. I'm sorry!" In an instant I immediately lowered my head, if only my body could move freely, I would kneel at his feet. "I'm really sorry! The figure of Prince Keylan was similar to my friend who often made fun of me. So I accidentally—."

Keylan got up from the chair and put his index finger in the middle of my lips. Makes my mouth shut and silent. "I knew. Take it easy, I'm not angry! Besides, your language shouldn't be so rigid. Especially for you, just ignore my status as a prince for now. Understood?"

Even though my heart is male, his charming smile makes me cringe. This man has a powerful weapon to melt women's hearts. From the look of her seductive eyes, I'm more sure if this guy is a little playboy. With his finger stuck to my lips, I nodded slowly.

Getting a reply from me made her smile even wider. He turned his face to the maid. "Airi, can you help Anggi clean his body? Give her some nice clothes too. I want to get ready before we go outside!"

"Wait first! 'We' that ... does that mean you and me?"

Keylan nodded. "This is your first time in Elvian city, right? I'll take you around town."
