We make our way to meet Leon but I couldn't stop thinking about what happened at the restaurant why would she have to marry that shitbird I wanted to ask her instead of waiting but I could tell she was in a bad mood after that even if she was smiling
When we get to the tailors Leon is waiting for us " finally you get here did you two get caught up having fun " he joked
" is it ready or not Leon " Elise said plainly
" ok I see your no mood for jokes yeah it ready got all nice and wrapped up and i threw in a pair of new shoes since i noticed yours were damaged" he said and gave me my clothes all wrapped up in silk
" thank you Leon consider your debt cleared we will go now" Elise said Leon was shocked for a second " thank you princess I knew everyone liked you for a reason" he said Then bowed slightly
After leaving we make our way to the palace since it all ready pretty late and we are both tired when we get to the entrance I thanked her again " thank you for today Elise the city is very beautiful and I appreciate you helping me with my clothes situation " she looks at me with a beautiful smile " of course I'm glad you enjoyed it I'm going to go now good night ghost " she said
"Good night Elise hope you have pleasant dreams " I say and we go our separate ways and I started back to my room 'I hope that didn't sound to corny I felt like leaving it at Good night would be to little' I thought to myself on the way there
The next morning Elise waked me up again I got cleaned up and put on my new clothes which is a black pants and shirt with neon purple accents on it with a black coat that came down a little longer then the back of my knees with beautiful blue lightning streaking throughout it and with a pair of steel toed boots
Seems the rune I touched did a little more the just reading my imagination this looks good I like it after put on my new clothes I step out where Elise is waiting for me " that looks good on you does everything feel right " she asked me and I nodded " thank you yeah everything feels great " she nodded satisfied as we went to breakfast
After we were done but before I left Elise said " I'm sorry but I won't be able to spar with you today I have to take of some stuff " I look back at her and smiled " it's ok Elise you don't have to be sorry I can't expect you to spend all your time with me" she smiled before left
I watched her leave then signed heavily forgetting the queen and king were there then I left After I did the queen looked too the king " see dear I think he really cares for our little girl like she does him please delay what you are planning give them a chance to find there way together "
The king looks back at her " I have tried to give her time to find someone she truly loves but you know how she has been I tried giving her a choice but she still hasn't found someone why is he different "
The queen held the king's hands " I know you have and I love you for it but you know it's different then the one's before him you can see her smile to and her excitement just give her a little more time I'm sure they will end up together this is for our little girls happiness" she said and the king nods in agreement and she kissed him....
After a little bit I end up and the training hall and zamel was here already " let's begin with bonding since your girlfriend isn't here" I roll my eyes and began my training after a bit I started resting for a couple minutes " zamel I wanted to ask you about something " I said and zamel looks over to me " what is it " he said
" wanted to ask about some that happened yesterday at a restaurant when we were have dinner some guy named Mel came over talking about how Elise was going to be his if she liked it or not" zamel let's out a heavy sign
"Well it goes back to a deal as you know tere was a war between humans and elves for long time until recently in this war many elves were lost due do to it and do to low birth rates in elves we are in a crisis of man power so Elise is going to have to marry the duke's son because he has a private little army for himself so by marry Elise to the duke's son he can gain access to that army on the other hand the she could marry the prince of the human kingdom and bring peace through that but the king still has a bit of bad blood still when it comes to the human kingdom so he doesn't want to do that so Mel is the only option but the king and queen want there daughter to be happy so they gave her a time limit to find someone she truly loves or she would have to marry mel it has been seven years since then so if she doesn't find someone soon she will have to marry Mel that is why we are rooting for you because she seems happy with you more then the others " he explained what was happening
I just lay there digesting what I just heard not sure what to say to all that not even sure if it was my right to interfere with all this I'm just a random dude who appeared out of nowhere and in there life I guess the question is if I love her or not I think it's to early to tell for sure I like her a lot that's for sure but I don't know if I love her or even how she feels about all this to I guess I'll see how things go for a little bit and how things develop between us
After a little bit I got up and it was time to do something new I have had this rune following me around sense I had awakened so now it was Time to see what it is " just trace the rune with your finger while pouring mana into it " zamel said and I did what he said
And the rune started to glow in a dark black then it shattered into lights then started to take a form after a few seconds a wolf almost as tall as me with fangs like a Saber tooth cat and fur that looked more like shadows after a couple minutes the wolf opened its and they were green with red irises it was a bit scary
" it's about time you let me out I was getting tired of that empty space " the wolf said then looked at I look at it for a bit " what are you" I ask it " it is a guardian beast they fight and protect the person that summons them this is a Shaza or a shadow wolf it can manipulate and control shadows and are rare beasts " zamel said before the wolf could say anything
" Exactly what he said I'm your protector now we formed a contract when you traced the rune" the wolf said to me " well thats coo what should I call you " I asked " just call me shadow it's short and sweet "
I nod " nice to meet you shadow I say then pat him on the head " he after a few seconds he shakes my hand Away then started to leave " where are you going there are guards they may attack you if you aren't wit me or someone else " I say to shadow but he keeps going " it's fine the guards won't notice me and I need to get out I have been in nothingness for a while I want to go out and explore a bit ill know if you are in trouble and all pop up in you shadow so don't worry " he said and just like that I say a wolf like shadow run out of the room and disappear
i look over at zamel with a worried expression but he seems calm " don't worry I'll let the king know so he can inform the guard not to attack him plus I'm sure he can take care of himself he isn't called a guardian beast for nothing now let's finish with the rest of your training let's go " he said and we continue increasing my bond...
After finishing training was in my room relaxing I didn't need to clean up because my clothes have a self cleaning property to it while I was resting I heard a knocking I opened it to see Elise there with her smile but it doesn't seem as bright " are you ready for dinner " she asked and I nodded and we made our way there
