Chapter 13 - The Celebration Unfolds

A festive air enveloped the glorious manor of House Alastair as the night of celebration for Luka, the special boy, unfolded. Rose, the diligent servant, reminded Luka to prepare for the gathering of nobles.

"Luka, you need to hurry up! As soon as it becomes dark out, all of the nobles will make their way over here. "Take a bath; the celebration will begin in a few moments," Rose strongly instructed.

"Okay, Rose, but please give me a moment to finish this move." "I don't think it's quite there yet," Luka responded, still intent on his swordplay.

"Don't worry about it, sweetheart. I can see the elegance in that sword style. You should get a shower right now."

"Oh, I remember my friends from Sylvanaria will be here. How I miss them," The boy reminisced.

"What exactly was that elf up to at this point? Has she improved her appearance?" Luka teased. "HAHAHA, I'm just wondering."

As Luka went out to get ready for the evening, everyone's excitement about the celebration continued to build.

The evening of the celebration arrived at House Alastair, and a gathering of nobles took place in preparation for the big event. Princess Seraphina extended a warm welcome to all who had come to visit her and thanked them for being there.

"It makes my heart happy to see so many of you here to participate in this very important celebration. Tonight, we celebrate the seventh birthday of my eldest son, Luka," Seraphina announced.

"Oh, Miguel, my precious Luka has grown up to be a young and handsome man," Seraphina said to Miguel. "I can't believe it."

"That's correct, honey. To which Miguel jokingly said, "I'm sure he will make girls cry."

"Don't get the conversation started, Miguel. "That's not something I taught Luka to do," Seraphina said as an interjection.

"Where did Lilian go?" After understanding that her daughter was gone, Seraphina posed some questions.

"Ugh, we're dealing with the same issue all over again today. Luka made the observation that given how often Lilian went missing in this home, "I'm sure she's back in my room again." "So, I take it you don't know who Miguel and Lilian are, do you? Allow me to explain. After spending all of those years as a eunuch, Seraphina has finally discovered her true love, and his name is Miguel.

"Wait, wait, and wait some more. "I am not a eunuch," Seraphina strongly insisted.

"Okay, okay. " "Alright, okay. " Let me continue. I have no problem with the fact that the two of them fell in love with one another. I want my mom to have a good mood. But the thing that has me down is the fact that this Miguel Oh, this son of a gorlock is involved. Luka's next statement was as follows: "I don't want to think about it."

"Yeah, that's OK. "That little devil is his daughter, Lilian, who is four years old and a little devil herself," Luka stated while smiling. "That little devil is on his pants." "As a result, I won't give it another thought. I'll stay out of it and let them figure it out on their own. For the time being, all I can do is take part in and enjoy this occasion.

As soon as the celebration got underway, all of the city's nobility, including the duke and duchess of the city, arrived to be a part of Luka's spectacular birthday bash. Among the guests was a familiar visitor.

"Oh, Martin, you need to back up. "Oh my goodness, that's the house!" said the princess. "All right, it's almost time for me to see my sister. Oh, how I long to be with her!" the princess exclaimed with elation.

"Don't let your excitement get the best of you, sweetheart. If you do that, you risk falling out of the carriage. Mildred said, "Be very careful."

"Alright, alright, Mildred. " The princess gave her word that she would take caution.

As Seraphina approached the entrance of House Alastair, familiar voices echoed in the air. The excitement in the manor intensified when Seraphina's younger sister, rushed towards her.

"Oh, sister, sister! Hahahahaha, I miss youuu! Do you like my hair? Mildred braided this," the princess exclaimed with boundless enthusiasm.

Luka, overhearing the commotion, couldn't hide his disdain. "Who's this annoying girl, mother?"

"Ha? Luka, don't you recognize her? She's my sister Elowen."

"You mean Elowen, that smelly brat? She's that?" Luka grumbled.

"Oh, Luka, it's nice to see your goblin face again, but I don't have business with you here," Elowen teased, sticking her tongue out.

"Mmm, that annoying monkey. She's here, she's destroying my mood, and this is my night," Luka muttered to himself, visibly irritated.

"Alright, sister, now come with me. I'll show you something, my latest movements in ballet. Now, let's go outside," Elowen urged.

"Wait, wait, Elowen. I'll just let Miguel know," Seraphina interjected.

"Okay, sis, but be sure to be quick," Elowen said, skipping outside.

"Ughhh, she's doing her annoying thing again. Sure, she's never changed, always clinging to mom," Luka complained.

"Now, I'll just celebrate and enjoy myself. Oh, right, I'll just practice that 'Avida Slash' again. It needs to be perfect," Luka decided.

As he stepped outside, a familiar carriage arrived at House Alastair. To Luka's surprise, Queen Amara of Sylvanaria emerged from the carriage.

"Oh, thank you, Sir Cedric, for accompanying us to this place. King Aldric is too generous for making his best knight accompany us," Queen Amara expressed her gratitude.

Luka, overhearing their conversation, mused, "What is the Elven Queen doing in the humble abode of House Alastair?" Miguel asked.

"You sure are always joking, Miguel. Now, where is that boy? I brought him a gift," Queen Amara inquired.

"He's here, ma'am, right here. Luka, please introduce yourself," Miguel requested.

"Oh, ma'am," Luka bowed respectfully. "It's nice to see you again."

"You sure grew into a really handsome young guy," Queen Amara complimented.

"Ah, ma'am, can I ask something?" Luka inquired.

"What is it, boy? Speak up," Queen Amara encouraged.

"Where's Lyara?" Luka asked with curiosity.

"Ahhh, Lyara. Oh, I remember, she's on the carriage. She said she's shy," Queen Amara explained.

"Heyyy!! Lyara, get down here. This boy is waiting for you!" Queen Amara called out.

"Okay, Mom, just a moment," Lyara replied from the carriage.

Soon, a figure emerged from the carriage, and Luka was taken aback by the sight.

"Wow, so angelic!!" Luka exclaimed, his jaw dropping in amazement. Lyara, the Elven Princess, and Luka's childhood friend, had arrived, bringing an unexpected delight to Luka's grand birthday celebration.
