faes was walking to king ladon's study being followed by eli, robin and gray. it had been two months since the incident and now she was completely recovered. her blood essence had recovered completely and after a fight with blake and a checkup with the head doctor she was allowed to cultivate and fight again.
eli knocked on the door and king ladon's butler opened the door for them.
"please leave us along for a while" ladon said as everyone left them room except faes and ladon. ladon asked faes to sit and with a serious look he glanced at her and away from the paperwork.
"i want to talk about two things with you, first that after destroying the base of cult we found many things. we have distributed the rewards to everyone and only you were remaining. here" ladon tapped their watches together and transferred the reward points to faes.
"a million?" faes asked in disbelief. one have to know that her monthly allowance here in kingdom reptiliance was merely 20 thousand points. she had been saving most of it and had only bought the herbs and other things she needed. after involving liam and richard's money points that she got as a reward she had about 600000 points but just reward for killing them was a million points?
"you killed most of the enemies, along with the leader hence after talking with everyone your reward was decided. its yours now" ladon said. faes nodded after knowing that it was after discussing with others. if they were fine then who was she to say no? faes needed money!
"also were couldn't find anything important on both Richard and liam's bodies. i was hoping that you know something about that" ladon said
"i have their things. we made a bet that whoever wins will own everything hence according to the bet whatever these two had directly came in my possession." faes replied to which ladon nodded
"and the other thing that i wanted to talk about is your birth family. his majesty king augustus had been calling me and asking me to send you to them. they are worried and want to talk to you and meet you. why don't you talk to them? they told me that you have not been picking any calls from them" ladon asked
"actually, i was thinking of going to altai too. but i am now the first princess of kingdom reptiliance and what will happen if i just leave here? i don't want to become a burden to either you or his majesty king augustus. i am not sure how to answer their questions about returning and hence i didn't picked their call." faes said.
"even if you decide to live there for rest of your life, no one would mind it, you will still be first princess of kingdom reptiliance even if you are princess of any other kingdom. if you get mistreated or want to come back we will always welcome you here. remember we are family and this is your home" ladon replied with a smile. he had expected something like this from faes. she thinks too much, and most of those things were not worth it. but her good point is that she speaks whatever she wants with the people she trusts and takes as her's.
if the same question would have been asked by any nobles which she doesn't take as her kin then she would have replied something else based on the behavior of the noble. she would have either changed the subject or directly told that it was none of their business. but well for them to ask such questions they would first have to know that faes was also princess of kingdom altai too.
faes heard what ladon said and fell into thought. she wanted to go back to altai too and see what was going on there. there were also some people she needed to teach somethings. now that her worries were dispelled by ladon she decided to go there, but there was some thing she wanted to ask
"i will go then. but can i take eli, robin gray, along with sky and her aide?" faes asked to which she was only greeted by a knowing smile.
"yes you can, they are under you and will do whatever you want. and also if you need anything for this trip just tell me anytime" ladon said.
"then i will prepare to go on a new adventure!" faes smiled too her eyes sparking with excitement and something else that made ladon shiver. he prayed that whoever was her target would rest in peace.
....
after few days faes was eating breakfast with the royal family. she was going to leave today for altai. everyone have told her to use a plane, car or any other transport but faes had declined them. she was going to travel on foot and take her time getting there. she wanted to look around the world and collect many herbs and stones along the way.
also she wanted to have fun with sky on the way and get stronger. because the red poison cult is going to come after her sooner or later and this time they will be stronger than liam.
after directly telling them that she was going to travel on foot through the path she had decided the others let the topic go. they couldn't change her mind! ofcourse she had asked sky first about it before deciding.
"we will leave now, take care while i am not here. though i will still have to do the paperwork" faes said as she glanced at ladon and adrian. she was not going to be in the kingdom but they made it clear that she would still be the first princess and hence have to do the official paperwork and other things that she needs to do.
they told that she would do it by mail! can someone believe that?
"take care and if you face any problem just contact us" ladon replied with a knowing smile.
"if someone refuse to hear you just punch them in their face" adrian smiled too.
"take care of each other" nuri said.
faes nodded and after sky said her goodbye they left the palace. blake was going to escort them till the forest entrance.
"wait" blake said just before they were going to enter the forest.
"here take this" blake gave sky a hairpin while making faes wear a blackish ring on her ear. he completely ignored the pearcing and made one using the ring right above the original one. the ring had reddish runes carved on it but the color was so dark that it was not easy to read them.
"this will tell me your location and if you need my help just break the accessory and i will be teleported there no matter how far the distance is." blake said then added
"and make sure to keep it with you always!"
"why did you peirce my ear just for this? i would keep it with me always" faes asked as she touched the ring which felt warm to her fingers.
"because i know sky she is a good girl and will listen to her brother while you wont. hence you are to wear it always!" blake replied hitting faes head making her pout.
"yes! big brother blake is right, sky is a good girl!" sky giggled as blake rubbed her head adoringly while faes glared at blake.
"fine! see you soon!" faes huffed as she entered the forest holding sky's hand as sky waved her other hand to blake.
"bye big brother! sky will take care of sister faes don't worry!" sky said that made everyone laugh except faes who looked questioningly and annoyingly at sky. faes was the older one here!
