SURVIVORS
Chapters 108. The Elf King's invitation
Just now Chandra's doctor set foot at the entrance of Glenn's residence. A waiter came and said something to Randal. Dr. Chandra let in and continued walking away towards his room on the 2nd floor.
"Wait for the doctor" exclaimed Randal, preventing him from leaving.
Doctor Chandra stopped and turned to look at Randal. Randal.
"The servant said that he had just received a message from the King's Majesty. You're all invited to attend the dinner, tonight." Randal conveys the king's orders.
"Oh, okay. Then how do we go there?" tanyakanya.
"Later with me. I'll take you to the palace" said Randal.
"good. I will tell my friends to get ready. Thank you Randal."
Doctor Chandra continued his steps away. Randal also went on with his duties.

"So, there's a dinner at the palace? Well, unfortunately I don't have a good dress" complained Niken with a disappointed look.
"You don't want to attract the attention of these handsome elves, do you?" Indra asked with jealousy.
"Haha.. You're the most handsome man, my dear.."
Niken calms Indra who looks more alert if there is a male elf greeting Niken. He immediately hugged her with affection.
Angel and Silvia chuckled at the scene. No wonder Indra felt threatened. The elves they met were always very handsome. Even Randal who became Glenn's right-hand man was no less handsome than his young master.
Tok..
Krieeett.. The door to the room opened.
3 Servants stood at the door carrying something in their hands.
"This was sent by the King's Majesty for you to wear tonight."
The servants then went in and put some boxes on the bed. Then they went and closed the door.
"What's this?" Laras wants to know.
"Maybe their official clothes. Remember no? The first time you had dinner with Glenn and his guests? We're also given their a la clothes." Robert reminded.
"You're right. Look at this."
Angel opened a box. It's a man's outfit.
"I think it's for you guys." Silvia pointed at the box.
Angel and Niken opened the other box.
"It contains accessories. It must be for us." Claim Niken fast.
The others laughed amusedly. There was no way those men would wear accessories.
"Waahh, this dress is very good," said Angel with sparkling eyes.
"You choose what you like first" said Laras.
Niken and Silvia wanted to protest, but Laras' index finger on the lips, prevented both. There must be things they don't know.
They pull Laras into the corner of the room while Angel chooses the outfit.
"What's wrong? You keep secrets from us, don't you?" whisper Niken in the ear Barrel.
"Nothing," elak Laras in a low voice.
"You're an unsavory friend" Silvia grumbled. Barrel just smiled awkwardly.
They then rested and prepared themselves for the banquet tonight.

"Angel, you've been soaking for so long. Did you fall asleep in the bathroom?" silvia shouted from behind the bathroom door.
"I'm sorry, if it's too long. You can take a shower now." Angel came out of the bathroom with a fresh and fragrant body.
"Okay, it's my turn." Silvia hurriedly entered.
The sky was already reddened, as everything gathered in the sitting room. They waited for Randal to teleport.
A waiter heard Glenn's arrival.
Glenn walked over casually. He looks so handsome this evening. Behind him Randal followed faithfully.
"Let's go," he said.
They all headed for the teleportation spot. A veil of bluish-green light enveloped them. And. wuusss..
They were already somewhere else when the veil of light disappeared. That place is huge. There were several buildings visible from that teleportation spot. There is another building at the end of it. The tallest and magnificent building. Surrounded by a 2-meter wall.
There were many elves in uniform and equipped with swords at the waist, guarding the teleportation spot. Also another armed officer was checking on the guests.
"Welcome young master Glenn," they said respectfully.
Glen just nodded. Then continue the steps towards the main gate of the palace. No guards stopped his steps.
Some people came back and looked busy. Two groups of people were talking in various places. But Glenn continued to step towards the steps, without caring for them. Randal, Robert and the others followed Glenn's footsteps.
There were whispers from the group of people they were going through. They stared at Glenn's entourage with a face of disbelief, like seeing a ghost.
"They're why anyway? Are we afraid of humans like us?" liam asked the doctor Chandra who stepped next to him.
"I don't think so. At Mr. Felix's residence, they welcomed us well, right?"
Dr. Chandra doesn't understand either. It feels uncomfortable, if stared at with a horrified look like seeing a ghost. But since Glenn's path continued, then they just followed.
A servant of the king greeted Glenn and took him and his friends into a room. They're following.
Two guards stood outside the door. He reported the arrival of Glenn and the others. The door opened from inside.
Glenn stepped in, then squatted respectfully. Everyone followed in his footsteps.
"Hopefully live a long life" exclaimed Glenn and Randal.
The rest of Robert's team, except for Dr. Chandra, were shocked to hear the greeting. Then immediately followed Glenn's greeting.
"Stand," a cry sounded.
Everyone stood up with respect. The king sat down and showed them the chairs to sit on as well. Glenn sat down, followed by the others. It was then that the king showed his surprise to see the members of this entourage. He turned his gaze to Glenn with questioning eyes. Glenn nodded with a confident face.
"Ehem.. I heard that uncle has recovered from his surgery. Thank you doctor. Your services are great for this clan. My uncle is my second parent. What you do means a lot to me. What do you want as a gift?" ask the king sincerely.
"We just want to go home. Can your majesty help show you the way?" That would be the greatest gift for all of us." Answer doctor Chandra.
King silent. Such a request for a reward was a bit beyond his power.
"Can you wait until I find a way?" ask King.
"We don't want to add to your work. If there's some way, just tell me, we'll try to get through it." This time Robert answered.
Doctor Chandra nodded his head in agreement with Robert's reply. The others also nodded. Except for one person, who looked confused. The doubt of the man did not escape the observation of the king.
"alright. I'll think about it again. I'll gather information about that. I also know Uncle Felix has handed you a fragment of his portal mirror."
The king finally agreed to find information on how to get them home. Robert and his friends felt more hopeful.
"You. Stay here a while. The others can head to the dining room." The king's index finger points at Angel.
His friends were surprised by the order. But, in this country, no one can dispute the king's orders. So they came out feeling worried.
"Glenn, wait." The king also kept Glenn in the room.
Door's closed. The king's servants directed them to the spacious dining room. Many people gathered and talked there, waiting for the king to arrive. Robert and his team sat on a bench directed by the servants.
Randal watched their place, he nodded from the end of the room. Robert was calm, as Randal remained in the room, though he might not be able to sit at the table with the King.
Long enough for the servant to announce the king's arrival. Everyone immediately stood still and stood up from his place, bowing respectfully.
"May your majesty live long."
A chorus rhymed from inside the room as the king stepped in.
After sitting in his chair, his majesty asked everyone to come sit down. His noble face was beaming and inviting questions in the hearts of the guests. Is there any good news the king wants to deliver tonight?
