SURVIVORS
Chapters 88. Young Master Glenn
The Goddess and Nastiti only saw darkness in the cave. Samar sounds a subtle huff.
Goddess is holding Nastiti's arm.
"Take one stone of light in the hallway as illumination," commanded the Goddess.
"Widuri, are you the one crying? What was? Why are you crying in the dark?"
Hearing the Goddess speak, Widuri raised her head.
"Alan and Sunil how?" Widuri's voice sounded dumbstruck because of long crying.
"They're fine, they're resting." replied the Goddess.
"Huaaaa.
"Hloooo.. Why is it even getting so cry? It's been. Can you come over here? It's so dark in there, "persuade the Goddess.
"I'm back." Nastiti appeared with two light crystals in her hands. The cave is starting to become clear.
Goddess and Nastiti are looking for a place to rest. Widuri gathered with both of them. The tired bodies were lying on the floor in backpacks. Widuri is relieved that Alan and Sunil are finally fine. Other business, think about tomorrow.

A boring week has finally passed. Angel took a quick step from the 2nd floor balcony towards the row of rooms and opened one of the doors.
"I just saw the masked man appear at the teleportation spot."
Angel told his three female friends who were gathering. His eyes sparkled brightly.
"Well, great. I'm getting bored in this castle." grumbled Niken.
"really. Every day we can just ride or walk in the park. Boring." Laras commented.
"What do we do after we meet him?"
Silvia threw her gaze out the window of the room. His voice sounded skeptical, a sign he did not believe just like that with the hospitality that the host had shown.
Silvia's question made the three women stutter for a moment. Want what?
"I want to go home. So yes ask him to let us go." replied Laras.
"You're so plain. There is no free lunch. What's more we're strangers he just found in the woods."
Silvia paused her sentence..
"Where could they believe that we're stranded or lost? Even if we say honesty, do you think they'll believe it?"
Although Silvia's words sounded disdainful, but it also had a point. There was no way their team would be taken off without giving anything in return. Now his fourth thought began to surmise, what the masked man was about to want.
Laras relayed the news to Robert in another room, to prepare himself.
In the afternoon two waiters knocked on their door to deliver drinks and snacks and relay messages.
"Sir is back and invites you all to dinner."
Two maids came in carrying trays of drinks and sweets and changing clothes for the dinner.
"Please prepare."
The servants withdrew and disappeared behind closed doors.
Niken picked up a dress that was placed on the bed. He cut it in front of a large mirror.
"Is the host hosting a party? We're getting dressed a la they."
"Am I beautiful like this? Like fairy fairytale."
Niken laughed as she danced around holding the dress on her chest.
"You wanna dance?" Silvia frowned.
"alright. Let's just follow what the host's plan is. We can't run anyway. So let's enjoy this cake first. My stomach is hungry."
Niken returned the long dress to the top of the bed and sat in front of a round table. Silvia had already sipped a drink from the cup. They enjoyed the afternoon meal at a leisurely pace before cleaning up and preparing for dinner.

Robert's team is ready and just waiting for the dinner call.
Robert, doctors Chandra, Indra, Liam, Gilang and Leon were stunned to see their female friends looking beautiful and elegant in a dress provided by the host. They walked together towards the dining room on the ground floor.
The servants showed them chairs for them to sit on. The large dining room now looks rather narrow with an additional table across one end of the main table. The table forms the letter T.
Laras and Angelina were placed in two middle seats, flanked by Silvia and Niken. That position was facing the main seat that the masked master would occupy.
While the six male friends they placed face to face at the main table near the four sat.
Other guests who were all taper-eared entered the room, then took their seats.
Shortly a notice was heard that the host would enter the dining room. Seeing the other guests standing up welcoming, Robert asked his friends to stand up as well.
A long silver-haired man entered the room. Although the mask almost disguised the blueness of his eyes, but the smile he spread actually showed more charm and good looks.
All sat back down after the host sat in the main seat. The waiters started busy going back and forth serving food to everyone. A light greeting began to sound here and there.
The sound of the clanking of cups instantly stopped the buzzing sounds of the elves conversing. They turned their attention to the host and waited for him to speak.
"Okay, good night. Today I invite you all to dinner. In addition to discussing the results of the trip, I also want to introduce my guests.
The masked man directed his hand towards the table at the end, which Robert's team occupied. He then stood up from his chair.
"I'm Glenn Ockhenliche, the young head of the Elf race of Norendeem kingdom. Can guests introduce themselves?
The masked man smiled kindly.
Team member Robert automatically turned his eyes to Robert, asking him to speak on behalf of all of them. Robert nodded then stood facing Glenn.
"I'm Robert. We are a race of people who come from different countries. Can be together because they are in one vehicle that has an accident. We were looking for a way home, but got lost in the magic forest and you saved us. Thank you." Thank you."
Robert slightly bowed towards Glenn then sat back down. Glenn replied with a nod of his head and a smile.
All the Elves present there simultaneously gave various responses with language that was not understood by Robert's team. The room was again filled with comments.
The sound of the clanking of the cups again quieted the dining room.
"good. Thanks for introducing yourself. Since we're already so hungry, it's better to eat first."
Glenn raised his drinking cup, all the elves raised their cups. Robert and his team also lifted the cup. They sipped the drink following the others. Then the eating began. The sound of the clang of plates and spoons was like the music of the accompaniment of the talk of the elves.
Angel, Laras, Niken and Silvi also chatted in low voices.
"What is this like for a dinner of the nobility?" niken whispered to Laras who was sitting next to him.
"don't know. I'm just a commoner." Baras answered at that.
"Gtoggle.."
Niken closed her mouth holding back a laugh.
Robert gestured for Niken not to laugh. Do not let the host misunderstand and be offended.
Niken nodded then changed her expression and enjoyed the meal quietly. He only looked around with such great interest.
"Ahh, if only my camera did not run out of battery, I would be able to make a memorable photo of this place," Niken said unknowingly.
"Let's get some paper and a pen. Then you can draw what you want there." Dr. Chandra gave me an idea.
Niken's eyes turned bright.
"The brilliant idea doc. Thank you." Thank you."
"My love is amazing" praised Indra who looked lovingly.
"Oppa sarathae," Niken replied while attaching the index finger and thumb of the love sign to Indra.
Indra clenched her chest while being closed with an indescribable mimic. Making Liam who was sitting next to him tick her with annoyance for being shameless.
"Auuu," Indra groaned softly as she stroked her head, but her face was still filled with smiles.
Everyone smiled widely and laughed silently looking at his increasingly ridiculous manner since falling in love.
All the joking fun at the table was not separated from the observation of the host. He smiled to see his guests did not feel stressed even though for days only in his residence. Then his gaze softened to see the sweet smile of one of them.
