faes and sky entered the village centre with their aide they couldn't help but turn their head constantly. the whole village centre had turned into a different place. decorations adorned the whole place along with lights sparkling everything.
there were lots of food stalls surrounding the village centre giving off delicious aroma making faes and sky's mouth water. while music filled the whole place, there was also a big bonfire at the centre of the whole place where lots of people were dancing to the music.
the village chief and few elders welcomed faes and others, offering them various kinds of drinks. though ethan eli and others also got alcoholic drinks faes and sky only got flavored milk, milkshakes and other kinds of nonalcoholic drinks.
faes even sighed when she saw her companions drink. in her past life she didn't had time to go to any parties or anything, while drinking alcohol was also a luxury for her as she didn't had much money either. while she in this life had been invited to parties and had various friends she still couldn't drink alcohol. she was still a kid! why cant she grow faster?
while faes was enviously staring at other elders drinking sky drank her own drinks happily. she was still barely few years old and drinking alcohol was not in her mind at all. while as eli and others noticed faes pouting as she drank her fruit juice and glancing at the alcoholic drinks in their hands enviously they grinned.
"miss do you want to drink this?" eli asked making faes blink her eyes in surprise. he was going to let her drink it? at her age?
"i can drink it?" faes asked not sure
"of course you can, right ethan?" eli turned to ethan winking
"yes yes! you can" ethan smiled as he agreed
"really? then give me one glass!" faes smiled at them but eli just patted her head in return
"you can drink it after you grow older!" he said making faes pout and glare at him. how dare he trick her?
"its not good for your health, you can drink it after you turn fourteen years old, while currently, you are only eleven" ethan laughed.
"you all are also banned from drinking alcohol then. until i can drink it none of you are allowed to drink either" faes smiled in return making their laughter seize as they stared at her in shock.
"but we are older! its not fair" eli argued
"then is it fair to trick me like this?" faes asked making everyone avoid glancing at her.
"we were just kidding, no need to get serious. you see we are like your friends, please spare us" eli sat in front of her giving her his best puppy dog eyes making faes smile at him.
"you are not like my friends" faes said making others immediately pause. 'that's right she was their princess and master! how can she be their friends?' others instantly panicked but faes next words stunned them
"you are my friends! more than friends, a family a team" when they heard faes they all instantly got tears in their eyes. faes paused smiling and teasing them. 'was her teasing too much that they began crying?' she panicked while eli who was kneeling in front of her pulled her in a hug suddenly.
"sorry but we didn't have anyone who treats us well like you both. by you saying that we are your family- it means a lot to us" eli whispered while others joined in the hug.
"huh? why are you all crying? sister faes did you fire them? good job! they don't let me go around by myself! now i can run around and eat lots of things i was banned from before! oh and sister faes we can also put that itching powder in brother blake's pants that eli and sarah didn't let us," sky sighed with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"really! now that i think about it they all are being a crybaby in a festival, i should indeed fire them. after that i would like to see how brother blake gets away from that itching powder!" faes agreed.
when others heard them they instantly sobered up and glared at them
"no! you are not going to do that! we are still here and not crying see!"
faes and sky exchanged glances before laughing while others joined them.
"excuse me!" a voice came making their group turn towards the source. a boy around fourteen years old arrived in front of them with a nervous look while several other similar aged kids were standing behind him. there were smaller age group kids too who were around five to six years of age.
"yes?" faes asked curiously as she noticed the kids excitement and fear
"we would like to invite you to dance with us, and also miss sky can play with our siblings," the boy said nervously. they weren't sure if faes and sky would accept but it will be great if they can.
"sure! what do you say baby?" faes agreed turning to sky who stood up finishing the last drop of her drinks.
"what games are we playing?" sky asked
"lets go then" the other's eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement as they led faes and sky away. gray and ethan also followed closely behind them while eli and sarah went to gather food for them.
after sometime eli and sarah had also joined others and watched faes and sky having fun dancing and playing like kids their age.
suddenly eli's watch rang making him go alert. picking the call he bowed his head greeting blake
"where are you all? where are my sisters? and why are there lots of people dancing and eating there?" blake asked surprised. he was only checking up on his sisters thinking they will be either in the forest or a hotel but the sight that greeted him wasn't something he was expecting. which made him confused
"your highness we picked up a quest to help the mining village in nadar to clean the mines from the legendary beast occupying it and its progenies. after her highnesses killed the legendary beast the villagers invited them to the celebration and hence the festive" eli reported and then turned the camera towards faes and sky
"her highnesses are having fun currently"
faes was dancing around the fire with others while sky was playing a game with other kids. blake smiled watching them. his sisters barely enjoyed themselves like kids their age. watching them freely enjoying like this he felt calmer.
"let them have fun i have some important things to do. also send me a recording of faes dance" blake said before ending the call. eli and others smiled as they felt faes getting in trouble in future because of blake but they still recorded her and sent a video to blake. they would like to see what prank blake would pull after this.
