I made sure Elise was ok before I turned towards the remaining ships on one there was still a bit of activity I teleported on to the deck of the ship beastmen were in a bit of a panic around the the cabin some quickly pointed there weapons at me
Seeing my hands raised and that i was the one who was fighting with them they turned back to the cabin some kept there eyes on me I walked towards the source of everyone's panic inside the cabin was the man i saw dragging the little girl and her mother
" stay away I swear I'll kill her " the man said as he held a knife to the cat girls neck there was blood dripping from it already " let my daughter go" the mother yelled close by being held back
I walked towards the man every was turned watching me before someone stopped me I used gravity to force his arm holding the knife to the side away from the child with a swing of my arm holding it there I clenched my into a fist on my other hand breaking his wrist holding the little cat girl spreading that arm to holding it there after he dropped her the little girl ran to her mother hugging her
Everyone watch shocked as I finally got in front of him " why would you protect these animals you don't even know them" he asked not understanding why I thrust my hand through his chest pulling out his heart making sure he can see it " I'll be taking this you won't need it anymore not that you truly used it " I said with anger as his heart beats in my hand he stared at me wide eyed unable to say anything because of the pain before dying not to long after I took out his heart
I turned around everyone was still staring I got a little self conscious quickly dropping the heart luckily Elise wasn't to far away she came in breaking the tense atmosphere She walked over to me the beastmen were not sure what to think of us yet they still had there weapons ready Elise summoned some water to clean the blood off me " you need to talk to them let them know we are not a threat " she whispered to me while wiping blood off me I nod " I'll try " I whispered back
" we mean you no harm is there someone here I can talk to that speaks for all of you " I asked to everyone around me the women who was being held back stepped forward " I am kana the cousin of the one who leads the rebellion may I ask why you helped us and how you speak our native language. " she said with confidence
" because I'm a traveler I'm not from this world when I got transported her I can speak all native languages it's wired for me to I'm just speaking my language but you hear it as yours it's freaky and I helped you because it's what I wanted to do I hate slavers I don't like bad people very much" she looked at me not really sure what to say
" would you like to come to the palace to relax and get something to eat before it gets to much later " I asked her She looked at me then Elise " who are you two " I took Elise hand into my own pulling her close she didn't resist me " this is my wife Elise she is the future queen of the elven kingdom which you find yourself now my name is ghost I am her husband and the future king nice to meet all of you" i said with a bow while Elise did a little curtsy
She looked around at her people then back "i would like to take you up on that offer thank you your majesty " she said to me I smile at her " there is no need for that just call me ghost let me know when you are ready and we will be on our way I say walking out the cabin with Elise
" can we trust them" a beastmen asked after we left kana shook her head " I'm not sure yet but he did save my daughter and fight for us let's at least hear him out " then walked out holding her daughter everyone else followed
Outside I walked to kal,James and lazza who finally came out of the forest " you guys did great covering us you should go get your mounts we will head back to the palace when they come out " they nodded before heading back to the forest quickly while they did that all the beastmen came out of the ships there were about forty of them
" how will we all get to the palace there are a lot of us " kana asked I looked at icarus who was on my shoulder she flew to me after I came out of the cabin... she hoped to the ground light started covering her as she grew into a gigantic version of herself the beastmen were shocked to see the little bird become big enough to carry all of then icarus crouched spreading her wings to the ground so we could climb on " don't worry the flames won't hurt you " I say as I grab Elise hand walking up icarus's wing
They hesitated a little before following me onto the giant flaming bird I pat the side of icarus's neck letting her know she was good to go she flapped her wings taking of into the sky with a big gust of wind from her wings
Everyone sat in silence along the way trying to process everything Elise laid on me with her head resting on my shoulders...when we got to the palace there was a bit of alarm until they saw it was icarus it wasn't the first time we had to transport people this way
"Welcome back I hope everything went well " a goblin maid asked after we landed in the courtyard " yes it did mezza we might even have some allies can you tell the king and queen about my arrival please " the goblin maid bowed " at once though do know the king is in a meeting about some unrest in the kingdom " I looked at the goblin maid with my brow raised it was wired for something like this to happen
" what's going on to cause this" I asked with confusion the maid hesitated a little before finally spitting it out " the duke has been fanning the flames of unease about a human marrying into the royal family it has become a bit of a issue" she said with her head down knowing the goblins presence didn't help things I sighed heavily not sure what to do about that
"Dont blame yourself my love something like this was going to happen eventually " Elise said hugging me letting me know she was there for me i nodded at her trying not to feel guilty i looked back at the maid " thanks for telling let him be then were is the queen i need to see her " the maid opened her mouth but before she said anything the palace doors flew open as
"Momma...papa " our daughter yelled as she flew over to us quickly " Emily don't fly off like that " the queen said slightly angry walking not far behind her Emily landed on me with a hug I hugged her back pulling Elise in with us we stood there embracing for a few seconds as a family " I'm sorry grandma I knew they were back and wanted to see them as soon as I could " the queen just shook her head then looked around
" you just can't help yourself can you " she said to me after looking around I shrugged at her She just rolled her eyes then looked at all the beastmen " welcome to the elven kingdom I'm the queen of these lands please follow me we will get your wounds treated before getting you settled for the day " she said to everyone breaking there shocked stares at my daughter everyone started following her into the palace
After getting everything done eventually we found ourselves in the throne room the queen and king sitting on the throne while Elise and I are to the side with Emily on her lap kana was standing in the middle of the room she just got done explaining what happened to her " so what would you and your people like to do now" she looked at the king for a bit then bowed " I would like to go back to fight with my cousin and if you could we would repay any help you can give to the rebellion to overthrow the emperor " she asked a little desperate the revolution needed help to full boom
The king stayed silent then looks at me I nodded to him looking back " while I am having my own troubles I will send some support along with my daughter and her husband to help in this revolution I'm sure you saw there strength today they will be of great help to your people " he said proudly
" thank you your majesty any help you offer will be appreciated " kana said with a smile
