THE LAST HOBBIT'S

26 - Elmora Palace

...'The Hobbit's identity is unusual.'...

...*****...

Megan Miller didn't look wrong. He was just about to exclaim when his opponent suddenly left just like that. His facial expression still contained a great shock.

Hobbits are a race that can be said never again heard from. Everyone assumed that this race had long since become extinct when the fight for the Dragon Conquering Sword was long ago. The Hobbit race is a lot of victims of the struggle for heirloom swords because they are not good at fighting.

But right now, right in front of Megan Miller... He watched with his own eyes that the figure standing in front of him was none other than that extinct Hobbit race. Sure do... This is very surprising news.

Arslan himself knew what the figure before him was thinking. That shocked expression had become proof that his opponent this time recognized his identity. He quickly asked Natur to take him away.

The members of the Lunar Orchis would be difficult to move for a few minutes because of the magic given by Arslan. With this situation, Natur becomes free to take Arslan away and their goal is to find An and Sofia.

It just so happened that the two people they were looking for were seen. Arslan and his friends leave the pine forest, but arrive at a bridge that leads to the palace of King Henry Nelius Sulla II.

!!

Sofia who had just realized the location right now was obviously very surprised. He was somehow taken home. If his father knew... So Sofia will never be allowed to go out without an escort again.

"Arslan, did you plan all this?" Sofia looked at the young man who was about 1.3 meters tall and watched Arslan's face carefully.

"You're short smelly, but very cunning." Sofia said, "Isn't this a bad trait? Why do you always do bad things to me? What's my fault with you?"

"...................." Arslan tahu Sofia tidak akan setuju, namun reaksinya tetap tenang seperti biasa.

Arslan opened her voice, "Your father misses you. Don't you miss him too? King Henry was only worried about his daughter who had gone nowhere. Taking you home is definitely the right choice,"

"You're just gonna want the prize, right?" Sofia clenched her hand tightly and said, "You've been only after the prize money, so you sent me home. You're... You're a bad friend,"

"It may have been like that at first, but now Natur has got ginseng water for its medicinal mixture for free. I don't need your money either, so you can just go do something big or whatever you want to do."

Arslan continued, "Nature is leaving and I myself have also returned the favor by helping him. Right now we'd better find a way out of each one,"

Sofia looked at Natur and then looked towards Arslan. He pouted and then said, "You're just going to leave after your business is done? But can't you just go with me? I also love adventure."

Arslan said, "You need to deal with your mistakes with your father first. Only after that. If I get permission will I take you away."

Helena Vennamous is shocked when her best magic knights now come home with some bad news. Megan Miller explains about her opponent who turns out to be a Hobbit.

"The gas should no longer exist, so how could there be hobbits in this place?" Helena Vennamous does not believe Megan Miller.

"But, Miss. What Miss Megan said was correct," a magic knight added. "The guy really is a Hobbit. I saw it for myself,"

!!

Helena Vennamous thought this through. He muttered, "If the magic is so great that it can stop you all, then... Hobbits are sure..."

Helena Vennamous looked up, she looked at Megan Miller and said. "The hobbit was most likely the true figure of the owner of the Dragon Conquering Sword."

!!!

All the magic knights that were inside the Lunar Orchis building that day instantly became in an uproar. Helena Vennamous even told some of her subordinates to give this news to Lunar Orchis' co-workers. The news that the owner of the Dragon Conquering Sword was something very important.

Arslan himself had no idea what he had done. He and Natur take Sofia to the palace of King Henry Nelius Sulla II and it only reaches the middle of the bridge.

Arslan does not want to take Sofia inside. He asked Natur to accompany the elf girl, while he and An waited in this place.

Nature of course agreed, she had long wanted to see what was inside a palace and now her little dream had come true.

Natur had already unleashed a magic that made Sofia's appearance change. Now, the elf girl came without magic and disguise as she always did.

Sofia's arrival to the king's palace immediately shocked all the palace residents. It is unexpected that their daughter will return, but so far there have been many things done - but Sofia absolutely cannot be found.

King Henry Nelius Sulla II immediately went to the palace gate to see the presence of his daughter. Raegon Lugner who happened to be reporting was also present and quite jolted with the existence of Sofia.

"What happened to you, son? Have you been okay all this time?" King Henry Nelius Sulla II immediately grabbed Sofia's hand and without hesitation hugged her. He made the elven girl blink a few times.

"Dad..." Sofia opened her voice, she felt bad to talk to her father and in the end she just lowered her gaze.

"Mr Princess, we are really worried for your safety. Thank goodness Princess is fine," Raegon Lugner opened his voice.

"Thank you, Uncle Raegon. Sorry for the trouble,"

"But, Princess? Who is this young man?" Raegon Lugner stared at Natur and made the teenager pay close attention to him.

Sofia took a breath and said, "Nature is my adventure friend. There are also Arslan and An. They're good people. I did a lot of things with them,"

"That means they are your friends" King Henry smiled and then patted Sofia on the shoulder. He looked at Raegon Lugner and said, "Please treat my daughter's friends well."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

King Henry invites Sofia to enter the palace, his daughter must clean up first. Sofia is relieved of course because her father doesn't look angry. He smiled towards Natur and gestured for Natur to wait for him for a while.

When Sofia and King Henry are no longer seen, Raegon Lugner asks the two magic knights to invite the two friends of Sofia who are waiting outside. He himself kindly invited Natur to the banquet hall.

Nature is happy. He followed this black-robed man without feeling the slightest suspicion. He was only realized when the atmosphere around him seemed like a wall that was only illuminated by dim light, as if they were walking to a hidden part that had always been referred to as the 'Underground Prison'.
