New Life as the Kingdom's Youngest Son
old friend

Aldric then chased Astra but failed because of the many turns in the hallway but he was pitted with someone who surprised it was red with a white dress and beautiful jewelry it was strange to see a great assassin dressed like that, he was also accompanied by several guards, when Red saw Aldric there was fear in his eyes considering the events of that time he was close to advocating war.

However he is the host here and he should welcome him red was approaching and bowed respectfully "introduce prince Aldric my name is Ravina yli glad to meet you"

"happy to meet you too Miss Ravina" so that's her real name red Ravina huh ? Thought Aldric, some of the guards were backtracking to give them privacy to speak seeing this Aldric felt all would be well "or may I call you red"

Ravina is shocked because her identity is discovered by Aldric but he tries to play this conversation "what do you mean... Why would you call me red ?" Aldric chuckled, "there's no need for a temple anymore I already know your identity... Your second life too"

Ravina realized this and sighed "from where do you know my identity ?" Aldric nodded naturally he was curious "hunter killer told me", "eh ?!"

"an-you have a relationship with him ?" Aldric nodded "really banar a coincidence I met with him usually he ventured into some land alone to do what... And he also felt that you were luring me to that day" Ravina recalled that day "are you really the theme ? I mean he almost almost killed you"

"he is so... It's hard to explain but she's like that" Ravina nodded "mister Aldric I was really unintentionally and didn't know you were in-", "oh well that's how I'm still alive right ? And also you're the son of one of the councils so it's better we forget what's behind us right ?"

Ravina nodded and smiled in relief "well thank you very much for your forgiveness that day", "it doesn't matter... Oh right Ravina what do you think of this hunter killer ?"

"whatever... He's great but also a little stupid I can't say what race he is and even his aura isn't the aura of a living being... And also I don't see which capacity is in his body", "stupid ? Why ?"

"he came to this country without doing research and deepening political problems in this country he entered the country with this know nothing I have to explain everything to him, he said, if he is a professional traveler he should know better before entering a country"

Aldric nodded "i will pass the criticism to him he is indeed a little careless" Ravina realized something "sir Aldric I beg to ask.... Kenaoa your scarf is similar to that of a hunter killer ?" Aldric nodded "ah yes... It is the same model and the maker is the same... I was recommended by him directly" Ravina nodded in understanding.

"please excuse this conversation has been fun but I have to go no business" Aldric nodded "of course please" Ravina began to go away and her guards formed a formation around her, and Aldric saw her lost at the turn of the hallway.

Honestly speaking among those 4 people Ravina remained the most powerful among them, aldric thought he was walking to Astra and he met Miriel, whom he was accompanied by an elven man holding a bow of green wood, giving off a splash and a strong herbal aroma.

His long black hair had bright green eyes and he looked shocked when he met Aldric and Miriel looked happy to see Aldric, Miriel uses a green flower seba dress growing on the right shoulder cross to her left pelvis the flower is colorful beautiful and fragrant nature can be smelled from quite a distance.

"it's good to meet you Mr. Elrondec said Aldric while crossing his right arm across his chest and Elronde also did the same sign of respect among equal nobles"

"abs... Miriel can you leave kaka and Aldric for a moment we want to talk for a while "eh ?.. But I also want to talk to Aldric", "just for a moment" Miriel relented and went somewhere.

"ah so Aldric I want to thank you for your services at that time... If it wasn't for you my sister probably would've gone without me thanking my deepest heart" Aldric nodded "it doesn't matter if anything happens to your sister we also have Solantia who has to take responsibility right ?" Elronde.

"have you saved my sister just because of political interests ?" He asked calmly "that's one of my motivations but my border post was attacked and it just so happened that your sister was there taking shelter so we just confirmed it to the capital, I did it not only because of political interests but also because I could do it"

"because... Can ?" Elronde asked confusedly "because I can I will help someone but if I can't or the risk is too great I won't do it... You can say anything about my choice but this is how I think"

"apologise I don't understand" Aldric nodded "well what about a scenario where a war happens and I have the option of evacuating a village or staying in the city strengthening the city's fortifications... I will choose to defend the city's fortress... Because I can save more lives with that... Yes maybe I can save the village but the risk of an attack on the city when some troops leave the village will be too big and I will not take it"

"what if the one who attacked it was the abyss ? They will slaughter the village if you will still maintain your position in the city fortress" Aldric nodded "yes sure" Elronde did not understand the choice of the Aldric and the expression of his face said everything.

"heard I was the one who thought logically and rationally... I'm not a hero who can save everyone who thinks morally rather than logic, no... I'm there to solve those problems not save"

Elronde looked surprised by this approach, but also looked pondering. "That's a very different approach than I'm familiar with. I can see the logic in it. Not all decisions in leadership have to be made based on emotion or morality, nor have I ever led a city or an army so I cannot judge you too harshly..."

Elronde continues "Have you ever felt uncomfortable with this responsibility?" elronde asked, wanting to know more about Aldric's thoughts, and Aldric chuckled "you will understand when you lead a city or even an army... Critical thinking is everything" Elronde nodded in satisfaction with Aldric's reply "Master Aldric at my age later to 900 where it will happen the next 3 months... And I will start leading an army or even my own city... Can you help me ?"

"no.... I can't" Elronde asked confusedly "why not ? "because the way you rule humans and elves is different and I don't want to tarnish your culture as elves... Learn from mistakes... And introspection as often as possible... I'm sure you'll make it" Elronde nodded "thank you for the song.

"anyways, did you see a celestial through here ? I looked for him" Elronde nodded he had just turned there" Aldric nodded "alright thank you... I have to go now" Elronde nodded "may you be lucky"
