THE LAST HOBBIT'S

35 - Cunning Planner

Arslan looked at King Henry Nelius Sulla II because of the speech he had heard earlier. On the other hand, Natur and Sofia were clearly surprised at King Henry's statement that Arslan was not of the Garielnains race.

Sofia frowned, she asked. "What do you mean, Dad?"

King Henry Nelius Sulla II walked for closer to Arslan. He noticed a face that was not afraid of anything at all and then again said, "Garielnains is not a race, but a pointer to a region that is the easternmost of the Elmora Kingdom. You're... Didn't mention your race from the beginning."

Arslan watched the subject before him intently. His facial expression did not change. It was a calm face that was even expressionless.

"You don't have big feet and the rough hands of a dwarf. The facial lines are also unlike theirs, even including your height. You're..." King Henry Nelius Sulla II hesitated a little before finally reopening his voice.

King Henry, "There's one name in my mind right now. Could it... You're the one called the Hobbit race?"

!!!

"Hobbits?!" Sofia was startled and spontaneously stared at Arslan. Not only him, but also Natur, Gavin Willian, and Liana Elberta. Even the people in that place were shocked.

King Henry looked at Arslan and said, "Hobbits are a race that has not been heard of in Middle-earth for a long time. There are not many records about this race, but the one most embedded in everyone's memory is that this race was extinct because of a tragedy in the past."

".............." Arslan's expression did not change. He's still the same.

"You... Are you from the Hobbit race?" King Henry asked back and this made Sofia, Natur as well as the others feel a sense of tension.

Arslan looked at the subject before him and then without a tone said, "Your Majesty has already said that this race is extinct. So how can I come from that race?"

"The Sword of the Dragon Conqueror." King Henry opened his voice and made Arslan flinch. He said, "It was the only strongest sword made by a hobbit."

"Arlan..." Sofia did not know the direction of King Henry Nelius Sulla II. It was just that he was in shock if what was on his mind turned out to be true, that Arslan had a relationship with the Dragon Conquering Sword.

"What are you... Is that a hobbit?" King Henry Nelius Sulla II asked back and looked at the 1.3 meter tall young man before him.

Arslan frowned, he sighed and said. "If it's related to the Dragon Conquering Sword, then Your Majesty is wrong. I don't even know about any of that history,"

!!

King Nelius Sulla II flinched, the young man before him replied so calmly, even looking innocent as if he did not know anything. He lowered his gaze and blinked while thinking of something.

"You really don't know about the hobbits and their connection to the Dragon-Capturing Sword?" King Henry asked again and answered a slow nod.

Arslan looked at Sofia before setting his sights on King Henry. She said, "I met Sofia by accident. It was from him that I heard about the Dragon Conqueror Sword. I thought... I wanted to find that sword because Sofia seemed to be in trouble. I just want to help her,"

!!

Sofia is shocked to hear the words from Arslan. He recalled clearly how the young man had rejected his invitation to seek the sword, but now Arslan said the opposite.

Sofia will only argue when she hears Arslan back saying. The 1.3-meter-tall young man tonelessly began to say.

Arslan, "At first I rejected Sofia's invitation because she looked foreign to me. But then I realized... I want to see a new world and meet new people. I want to too... Like her,"

"Arlan..." Sofia really doesn't know what to say. He blinked several times as if he did not believe that Arslan would be able to say this kind of thing.

Nature is in shock. He did not know Arslan for long, but he was enough to be able to say that the 1.3-meter-high young man was much different from what he witnessed now.

For Natur. Arslan is a calm-minded young man, a good planner, and someone who can be said to be cold to Sofia. Arslan was also not much of a compliment and the personality of this young man was honestly boring, but what did he see now?!

Arslan praised Sofia and not only that, the young man even said that he wanted to be like Sofia. Natur could only sigh because he felt that Arslan seemed to have planned this from the beginning.

I don't know what this subject will be after, but Natur hopes it won't end like the previous Lunar Orchis incident.
