The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 74 The heartwarming encounter of the elven families
They finally arrived at the capital of the elf kingdom. Elves are the race with the least population. Because at the age of humans already had grandchildren, elves still felt too young to marry.
Because the lifespan of ordinary elves was over 500 years, and there were also elves that lived up to 1000 years.the elves became less likely to think too much about offspring to multiply their population. They focus more on magic and their knowledge.
While warbeast, is a creature that is the same age as humans and also with a larger population of elves.
The elves were led by the elven king, but all decisions of the king had to be approved by the elven elders. The elf elders were elves who were over 700 years old and became the ones to choose who deserved to be king in the elf race.
Rui's arrival in the capital was anticipated by the families of the abductees. The elves who saw their families instantly ran over and hugged them happily.
The elf families were very grateful to Rui, but there were also those who were still staring with annoyed looks because they felt that all this was the work of the human race itself.
Seeing that it did not make Rui hurt, instead he increasingly wanted to make the Race unite to stop the threat in the future that will soon arrive.
Then suddenly, came a teenage elf who was about 90 years old in front of Rui. The elf missed Aziel very much but it was unexpected that he saw Aziel embracing humans very affectionately in front of his own eyes.
Because in the face of heartache and jealousy, he approached and showed his displeasure with Rui's presence here. He came with some elf warriors and dark elves to stop the crowd.
"Give way" said the soldier who was with the man.
Then he approached Aziel's daughter and grabbed her hand.
"Welcome back, princess. I'm so happy to see you doing well" said the young man.
"Yes, I am also happy to meet you Elucil" Aziel said as she pulled her hand from Elucil's grasp.
"Then, why is there such a dangerous race that can only cause chaos with you?" he said by looking at Rui with a look of hatred.
"Hey you better watch your words before I tear your mouth" replied Risiya who was not happy with her words to Rui.
"Why?"
"Did I say the wrong thing?"
"Indeed who kidnapped the people of our race and enslaved them for hundreds of years" Elucil tried to attract the public's attention to come to hate Rui and Risiya.
Risiya was silent, she also knew very well that what the man said was the truth.
"Enough, watch your talk. Rui was the one who had saved us from danger" Aziel replied beginning to get annoyed.
"Ahh. sorry for offending you princess. Is he really a good person, or does he want a reward from the king?"
"Cukupp" said Risiya who immediately lunged towards the young man.
But his attack was able to be resisted by the guards protecting Elucil.
"Wahhh, what a hot-tempered woman. Are you guys that easy..."
"Diam" Risiya cut off Elucil's speech.
"I don't care about my race or yours, but if anyone dares to humiliate Rui. Be prepared to accept the consequences" Risiya replied threatening them all.
Aziel who saw the commotion tried to stop them.
"I said cukuuup" cried Aziel who accidentally cast her wind magic.
The sihit was directly aimed at Risiya and Elucil, but Rui had already moved to Risiya's side then held back the attack with his shield mana.
"Wouldn't you be the one who should be calm" Rui said staring at Aziel.
Aziel's face flushed with embarrassment.
"Sorry" he replied briefly.
Then, Wyvern's voice rang out and made the crowd pull over and make way for Wyvern's arrival. Horn and Frey came down from the Wyvern.
"What's wrong with this crowd" Frey asked.
"Yes but this is just a small debate" Rui replied.
Aziel again felt jealous at the closeness of Rui and Frey.
"You did it for a while" said Aziel who pulled Rui's hand.
Elucil again looks upset because Aziel is embracing Rui's hand. He seems to like Aziel. Frey feels Elucil's gaze on Rui is an increasingly strong hatred.
"Hey, why are you looking at him like that. Remember, even if you are the son of one of the elf elders, I will not tolerate you making trouble with him. After all he's the king's guest, so watch your talk" Frey threatened Elucil.
"Whispering, I know that" he said, leaving immediately with a look of annoyance.
"Haaah, you grumpy boy" said Frey who saw Elucil's attitude.
Rui looked at the families of the victims who were crying to see the children, lovers, brothers and parents of the elves who had returned by their side. They were the elves who had once been slaves in the nobles. However there were some elves who did not find their families and kept asking if their families were also released.
But from the disappointed look on their faces, Rui found out that the person they were looking for was not there. Either already dead from being tortured by nobles or dead in the slave market. Rui became guilty of not being able to save them.
The disappointed look from Rui made Aziel understand what Rui was feeling.
"It's okay Rui. Don't feel guilty, you've done an amazing thing" Aziel said, grabbing Rui's hand gently.
"If only I could have been faster, maybe they could have saved me" Rui said with disappointment on his face.
But Frey suddenly patted Rui on the shoulder.
"Hey.." Rui surprised.
"This has become our way of life, so do not blame yourself for the mistakes of others. I also did not find my sister among them, however, I was still happy to see those survivors and return to our side" Frey said with a gentle smile to Rui.
Hearing that, Rui felt even more guilty.
"sorry...".
Frey feels guilty telling about his sister for making Rui's facial features worse.
"Haaah. Let's get to the palace. Your Majesty must be waiting for your arrival"
Then Rui followed Frey and went towards the palace with the warbeasts. Rui was immediately summoned to the palace's living room while the warbeasts had prepared a room to rest their bodies.
"Azieeeell.." cried queen Helena running to hug her daughter.
"Foolish base, you almost made my heart fall when you found out you were kidnapped. Are you okay, son?" helen asked who was examining her daughter's body.
"Yes, I'm sorry mom. I'm fine thanks to Rui" Aziel replied.
"Rui?"
Then Rui saluted the queen Helena.
"Greetings my honor, noble queen. It's nice to meet you. I am Rui, captain of the silver dragon squad" Rui told the queen.
"Owhh, sweet boy. Thank you for saving my daughter and bringing her back to our kingdom" Helena said.
"Your highness together" replied Rui.
Then King Erandel invited Rui and Risiya to sit down.
"All right, we'll just go straight. What is your intention and purpose here other than to bring my daughter and people back Rui?
The king looked very serious, then Rui told the pillars of the kingdom to come hear the discussion.
"I want to reunite and eliminate the hatred that has been ingrained among all races"
