MERCIA
76. The Dark Elf's Hiding.

"All prepare.Guild yourself, we will not lose this battle." Ravenna shouted at all the soldiers in the palace.Before them were seen thousands of troops most of them were not human.

The three of them slowly walked closer towards the palace gate, Someone who was in the middle of riding a wolf-like animal that was twice the size of a bear, the two people on his left and right are walking. They stopped about two hundred meters away from the palace gate.

"King Valon, the one in the middle is Kallus" said Leth.

"Well we meet them, you and Ravenna come with me."

Leth and Ravenna nodded. "Open the gate" said a soldier, the gate opened, the three of them meeting Kallus and the others.

"I didn't expect any big guests to visit my palace, but unfortunately my kingdom wasn't big so I couldn't let it all in" Valon said.

"Oh king Valon, you are too humble, you are so kind that even you have prepared your subordinates to welcome me, though I see that welcome is not too great I still appreciate it." said Kallus who observed the soldiers around the palace walls.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kallus, this welcome doesn't look fancy, but I can assure you, that you're not the first guest, and I always have surprises for my previous guests, including you."

"Ahh.. I always like surprises, even now that I'm surprised, I wonder if the king of Galan has a hobby of accommodating a traitor?" kallus asked, looking at Leth sharply with eyes wanting to kill.

"Hahaha.it's not true news, you must have seen the bodies hanging on the big tree, they are traitors, Leth has killed all, Leth has killed all, he said, he left some people with the wrong information."

"It seems that you are very sprightly Leth" said Kallus clenched his hand knowing the information about the Galan kingdom that he got turned out to be fake.

"You're too complimentary, I learned from the man who deceived me and hurt my sister" Leth said without fear of looking at Kallus even though he knew Kallus was much stronger than him.

"I was very surprised by Leth, he even gave me a big piece of information that he just got" Valon said.

"Great information?" Kallus looked curious.

"Because you're my honored guest I'll tell you, someone very powerful is hunting down the previous leader of Leth, he'll come to this place soon, if you want to know who that person is, if you want to know who that person is, you can all wait for him, Valon said.

"Hahaha, you are very comforting to the king, well enough of his bases, my arrival is to make a deal with you" said Kallus.

"What deal?"

"Only a small deal, you submit to us, and make your kingdom the power base of the army of Clawrit.if you agree one-fifth of Proxima will be yours."

"Your offer is very tempting, may I ask for some time to think about it?"

"I'll give you until noon."

"it's too soon, what if you wait for me here until I become grandparents and die?"

"If so I can help you to die" said Kallus feeling harassed.

"Well, there's nothing we can talk about anymore, Leth.., Ravenna. We're back." The three of them went back to the palace.

Kallus looked at the backs of the three of them with anger in his chest.

"What are your orders, Lord Kallus?" ask the man standing to his right.

"Save this palace, but before you attack kill all the informants."

"Good." The three of them came back.

Kallus was visibly riled up after learning that the information he had obtained was inaccurate, thinking about what cards Valon had made the small kingdom not afraid of him who came with eight thousand troops, in fact some of them are not humans, but orcs, trolls and others who are stronger than humans.

Kallus raised his hand and moved forward.

"ATTACK THEM...!!" shouted the bodyguard beside him.

Five large catapults moved forward and began throwing huge stones at the palace.

Moonheaven.

Violet leads August and Sylvana deep into the dense forest, with the ability of the three of them to darken the night does not affect their vision.seen from a distance points of light, after approaching the points of light was sourced from a torch located in a settlement.

"This is a dark elf hideout" Violet said.

Sylvana's heart was racing.

Some people appeared to welcome Violet's arrival and some of them looked on alert looking at the two strangers behind Violet.

"Why did you just come back? Who're they? have you forgotten our rule not to bring humans to this place?"

"Pyriel.., the whole group there's a big thing you all should know" Violet said.

"What do you mean Violet?" ask another.

"Just do it, I'll explain everything."

The woman named Pyriel beckoned at the elf man behind her, before long dozens of other elves gathered.

"Everything's gathered, now quickly explain what all this means."

Violet leaned towards Sylvana. Sylvana understood she was walking two steps, now she was beside Violet.

"All of you hear that our suffering will soon be over, you see her name is Sylvana she is the daughter of Eirana."

The words of Violet made everyone, including Pyriel, whisper to each other, some were happy, hesitant, many did not believe.

"right.. right..!" the other shouted, making those who were previously happy to be doubtful, and who doubted finally did not believe.

"Why don't you trust me, I never lie to you, every battle I've always been in front of. I built this place, but after all that, you all seem to want to drive me away?"

silence. all feel slapped.

"Violet, relax.., I would be very happy if everything you said was true, but she had to prove that she was indeed the daughter of queen Eirana" Pyriel said.

"What do you want evidence for?" Sylvana opened the hood on her head.

"There's only one way, we have to see for ourselves the contents of your mind, but there are consequences, if you lie, your mind will be damaged, you'll go crazy."

"What if I'm right?"

"we will all serve you."

"All right, please do."

"Sylvana wait." said August.

Sylvana approached August who called out to her.

"Didn't you believe me, too?"

"Sylvana I trust you, but I'm worried that it's about the mind."

"You're afraid I'm going through something like Aruna?"

August nodded slowly. "yes."

"I'm not afraid, because you always keep your promise, you'll always take care of me, won't you?"

"I'll take care of you, but..."

"Look.., you don't have to worry, Mercia I've come this close to what I've been looking for, I've got to get through this."

"What did Sonja say?"

"He didn't say anything, how am I the decision maker for both of us."

"Can I talk to him."

"Of course."

Sylvana closed her eyes, when she reopened them in red.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Sonja, even if you hate me, I want you to take care of Sylvana from inside, are you ready?"

"I don't hate you, I'm just sick of seeing you."

"Huh, you're so rude, I want to be friends with you, I want to buy you the best food."

Sonja's indifferent gaze now looked at August seriously, "I want a lot of food."

"You can eat as much as you can."

"I want a new dress, Sylvana's choice of clothes like my old grandmother's embarrassed to wear."

"Don't say that you embarrassed me in front of him."

"be quiet Sylvana, I'm negotiating with your boyfriend."

August took pains to hold back his laughter seeing women talking to themselves in front of him with two distinct traits.

"Why do you say I'm like an old granny to her."

"Because of your clothes, makes it hard for me to get a girlfriend?"

"We're Sonja's one body, there's no way their two girlfriends are gonna fight each other."

"Just let them kill each other we'll see your girlfriend or my stronger boyfriend."

"Hey.. Sonja I'm talking to you, I'm going to fulfill all your requests if you look after her" August said, stopping the two of them from speaking out.

"I'm gonna do it."

"Now I want to talk back to Sylvana."

Sonja closed her eyes, and Sylvana returned after opening her eyes.

"Did you hear everything?"

August smiled with a nod.

"Jeez." Sylvana patted her forehead bowed in embarrassment.
