The Thousand Year Dynasty
21. Shuuran Margin
Two days later. Before the meeting to decide on the new name of the territory, they suddenly got a shocking bad news. Especially for Lucia.
News that the rebels managed to penetrate and occupy the Elbrasta royal palace. The king was killed in the process.
That was enough to shake Lucia. Until he canceled the meeting.
-
"We've got reassurance from the reconnaissance soldiers plus Miss Luna's information network. That the king had fallen while trying to defend the palace" Cornelius said as he, Orland, and Nata were at Lucia's residence.
They were in the living room, enjoying the warm tea served by the waiter, after they managed to calm Lucia down. And now left the girl resting in her room, accompanied by Amithy.
"And now the combined forces of Roxon and Voryn led by Draenor occupied the palace" Orland added.
"I think the impact will be here soon" Nats said as he looked to be thinking about something.
"Do you think the problems in Kotaraja will affect you here?" Cornelius was alarmed by Nata's remarks, which he considered almost always to be true.
"Clearly, Mr. Cornelius. Princess Lucia is a lineage from the rightful throne of Elbrasta. Either later the new ruler of the kingdom will carry out an attack on this place, as a form of securing their throne position. Or the supporters of the previous king who would come here, to ask Lucia's daughter to attack and take over the throne from an illegitimate person" Nata explained his conjecture. "Whatever it is, it will still trouble us" he added later.
"But if according to the rules of the kingdom, they will not consider the descendants of women entitled to ascend the throne and become kings. Or be queen without a king" Cornelius said again.
"What else is like that. There would be even more annoying things if the condition was like that" Nata looked a little anxious after hearing Cornelius' explanation earlier.
"You mean?" Orland and Cornelius asked almost simultaneously.
"Princess Lucia will again be seen as a key to power. Just like before" Nata again tried to explain.
"Everyone will race to the princess, to get the throne of Elbrasta. And enis such people would be much more troublesome" Nata continued later.
"yes too. Though Lucia came here to avoid this" Cornelius seemed to begin to understand Nata's intentions.
"But what about Grevier? Did he also die with the king?" Orland sounded suspicious in his question.
"There's no word on that. But there is news that the palace family has been taken prisoner. Whether it included Grevier's brother or not" Cornelius replied.
"Obviously now we have to tighten up the defense of the north side. And still sending the scouts to continue to monitor the news that was happening in the Elbrasta region" Nata gave orders to Cornelius, to be careful. Because that young man indeed had the responsibility of guarding the north gate.
"Yes, I understand" Cornelius replied firmly.

Four days later Yvvone and Seigfried returned to the city. And this time as promised, he brought his friend with him. An Elf man.
Tall, slightly thin, with a pale skin color almost like Val's figure but slightly shorter. It's just that the thing that distinguishes him from the stature of the Elf clan Realn is the color of his hair that is white like gray. The hair of the Realn clan is black.
The clothes the Elves wore, were almost as lively as the Yvvone clothes. With a long-sleeved woven shirt that is light brown, double with a cloth vest that has a sky blue color. And the trousers are upholstered animal skin patterned in black yellow on the sides of his left and right thighs.
His long white hair, he tied up like the shape of a ship's weave, and then wrapped it around his neck.
"After meeting some Elves, I became curious. What is their living environment like? What do they see in the forest, so that it can affect the style of dress that is super tacky like that" Aksa said as soon as he saw the Elf friend that Yvvone brought.
"I don't want to know. Not even imagining it" Nata said.
Yvvone was seen waving when he saw the group of Aksa and Nata diatara people at the Central City station. There are Aksa, Nata, Rafa, Luque, Lucia, and Orland.
Lucia and Orland had come to pick Yvvone up because they had received a letter from Seigfried two days earlier, stating that he and Yvvone had news of Elbrasta's kingdom.
"Yes, I can see it" Aksa replied.
"Include him, his name is Talos" Yvvone immediately introduced the Elf man.
"I'm Talos, nice to meet you. Where is that thing? I heard from Yvvone, you found an object sealed by Shuuran magic in the land of Pharos" Talos immediately asked without further ado. "If it's true, it must be Miss Janice's legacy" he added.
"True, miss Janice sealed it" Luque said.
Talos looked a little surprised to hear Luque's words. "Well, where can anyone be sure?" Ask later.
"I saw it for myself, as Miss Janice did the sealing" Luque said casually.
"Sorry, are you kidding me?" Talos felt that he was being played by Luque.
If the person who said that was an Elf or a Yllgarian, perhaps Talos would have believed a little. But this is a Narva girl who says that. Obviously no one will believe it.
"Who's this girl, Nat?" Yvvone who felt the same way, immediately asked to be sure.
"She is a Holy Girl" Nata answered quickly.
Yvvone, Seigfried, and Talos were shocked to hear the name of the Holy Girl being called.
"Correct? Don't joke with you, Nat" this time Yvvone feels he's being played with Nata.
"What am I kidding you with. She is a Holy Girl. He came here after we successfully occupied the Holy Land" Nata tried to explain. "And he was almost five hundred years old" he said.
By observing the faces of Lucia and Orland standing behind Nata, Siegfried was able to conclude that Nata was not joking.
And he quickly stepped forward and bowed stoutly towards Luque.
"Include me Seigfried. Forgive me for not knowing us, Primaval" Siegfried later said. That made Yvvone and even the others surprised.
Because of the Seigfried they knew it was, that person wouldn't want to greet people. He will only nod quickly if he meets or is called by someone while working at the bar. Even to Lucia.
"No need to think about it" Luque said quickly to Seigfried. "Meet me, I'm Luque" he continued, introducing himself.
"I didn't think there would be any significant figures in this region. Greetings Primaval, I am Yvvone" Yvvone introduced himself with a small bow with both his hands holding and a small lift up the tip of his skirt.
"It's nice to meet new people again" Luque replied. "I also didn't expect Nata and Aksa to have more than one Elf friend" he said later.
"Why does your way of speaking sound like you're underestimating us, Luq?" Aksa immediately spoke after feeling.
Seigfried immediately looked cynically at Aksa as soon as he heard her calling the Holy Girl Luq. Then it looks like it started to grumble without a sound.
"How are you guys?" Lucia then started to say hello.
"So where's the place?" Talos asked again, returning the subject back.
"Do you want to see the place now?" Nata asked later.
"Yes, take me there" Talos replied with an excited face.
