Arriving at the riverbank, the Respected Druid was flabbergasted as he really saw Lander, alive and was happily cooking.
Lander and Grey who felt some presence near them was instantly alerted as they prepared their battle stance while releasing their aura. But after seeing the familiar face, they instantly removed their aura.
The Respected Druid was so shocked upon witnessing the aura of Lander and Grey. Lander's aura was so pure and has darkness in it. It was chilling and terrifying that could even invade the soul. Although it is still weak at the moment, once he fully mastered it then it will surely be formidable. Whilst Grey's aura was comparable to him but more stronger.
Lander was about to continue his cooking when they heard several beasts running towards them and they again perked up releasing again their aura.
The Elven Queen after sensing the aura of Lander and Grey, she was somehow scared. Even some of the elves and beasts are limping down one after another.
"Young man, there's no need to be so tense! They're my people and this woman here is currently the Elven Queen." The Respected Druid mediated.
"Hey Old Man, why bring an army here? You intend to kill us ey?" Lander smiled evilly while still releasing his aura.
"Killing you would only result in war!" The Respected Druid answered nonchalantly. "Anyways, mind if I join you? Your food does make one really hungry!"
"What do you mean killing him would result in war?" The Elven Queen asked intrigued by Lander's identity.
"The right hand man of the Wyvern Emperor is this young man's Master: a friend of mine," The Respected Druid replied while the Elven Queen and the elves behind her was shocked having this thought on their minds, 'Why would a respected human accept an outcast as his disciple?'
"Tsk, you really are a freeloader old man," Lander insulted as he went back to cooking while the Respected Druid ordered the elves to go back while the he and the Elven Queen stayed.
When the Elven Queen moved closer to Lander, a small flying figure suddenly popped out from her as she shouted, "My benefactor! You're alive? This is great news!"
"Oh? How are you little girl?" Lander smiled as the fairy landed on Lander's shoulder. This was the fairy that Lander saved back at the Amphiptere Academy from the locked up devil.
"I'm already hundred years old!" The fairy pouted acting like a little girl.
"Oh forgive me old granny," Lander teased.
Meanwhile, the Elven Queen was staring at Lander, 'So he was the one outcast who saved the Fairy Empress? No wonder, killing him would create a war and might also ruin our relationship with the Fairies.'
"Anyways, let's eat now." Lander said as he found a good spot to place the foods that was just cooked.
Looking at the foods, the Elven Queen got hungrier as she grabbed a grilled fish but Lander instantly slapped her hand, "You're not allowed to taste my food!"
"You....!" The Elven Queen got pissed as this was the first time she was slapped. She released her aura as she emitted a killing vibe that was directly sent towards Lander.
Lander wasn't the least bothered as he continued eating not even affected by the Elven Queens aura. The three were stunned witnessing this 'This was already an aura that could make the best of the elites limped down yet he wasn't affected by it, how strong could his aura be?'
The Respected Druid had no choice but to calm the Elven Queen after what they have witnessed but she was still pissed while glaring at Lander, "Why couldn't she have your food young man?"
"Yes, my benefactor why are you being so selfish with her?" The Fairy Empress chipped in.
"Simple! I don't know her." Lander replied nonchalantly.
"Just because of that and you slap me?" The Elven Queen glared at him like a tigress that could devour her prey.
"It's not slap, it's tap," Lander reasoned with her.
The Elven Queen wanted to retort but simply ignored him while watching the others enjoy their food with a blissful expression on their faces. She gulped every time till she can't hold her hunger any longer, "How much does your food cost? I'll pay for it!"
But Lander simply declined, "My foods aren't purchasable. But there is one thing you can do if you really wanted my food so badly."
"What is it? I'll do anything!" The Elven Queen asked impatiently while salivating.
"Be my wife and sleep with me!" Lander winked at her that made the three - the Queen, the Druid and the Fairy dumbfounded, "What?!!!"
"That is taboo in our culture! You might really get killed young man!" The Respected Druid warned.
"Yes! My benefactor you shouldn't say thing like that." The Fairy Empress worriedly said.
"Killed? I have already experienced death a lot of times so why would I care?" Lander replied as if looking forward to seeing death again.
"Fine! I agree!" The Elven Queen can no longer contain her hunger despite knowing the consequences of her action.
This time, Lander was now shocked. He was just toying with her and he never expected that she would agree to such demand.
The Fairy Empress and the Respected Druid was even mores shocked upon hearing the Elven Queen's words, "Our Queen, do you really mean what you said?"
"Yes, I hate being contained in this forest for all my life. I want to see the world and roam it. And if being with him could make me do that then I will do it and accept the severity of our race's punishment." The Elven Queen replied as she begun stuffing foods in her mouth releasing a blissful expression.
