Okay welcome back if you have just arrived. Now let me give you a rundown of the current situation.
I said something that I thought would be cool to say in that moment but it would seem that fate is not going to let me off the hook for being too cool and are punishing me by having my mother Fenmenor scold me for just being a man that wanted more than one wife but that enough recap.
Let's see how I get out of this situation cause I hope I really do get out of it.
"Um… Yes, I learnt it about it from momma she said that 'As a son of mine, ladies should be falling at your feet so if you can pick one you can pick all of them. Also, if you can't find someone you can have me and my mom because we love you forever and ever, okay'. So, it was momma who taught me the word."
I say as I throw momma Nathalie under the bus. I'm sorry momma! But I need to survive, I just found out that my mamma is very strong and I'm very weak so I'm sorry!
"So, it was Nath again huh, she is always corrupting my sweet boy! "
Mamma groans while looking at the sky. Then she looks at me and speaks.
"Angus look here, you were going to learn it later, but I feel you need to know this now but only strong people ae allowed to have more than one lover. I don't doubt that my boy will be strong, but marriage is a sacred thing among elves so please be very careful when you use it, but we will go into more detail during your classes."
Okay mamma, I will be careful when I use the word 'marry' now. But I-I-I…I was serious sbout you and momma and Miss Amber."
I say while looking at the ground trying to salvage the situation and make it…um I don't know pitiful, I guess.
" Okay…I forgive you Angus and I'll consider it if you ask me again when your older and understand your emotions. But you will also have to ask Amber's opinion on this but that can wait for now.
As you need to run along now don't you little hero, you have an
aunty that needs saving." Mamma says as she rubs my left cheek.
"Okay bye mamma!" I say as I wave my arms in the air while miss Amber walks away from the Tea House from the direction I came from.
Mamma responds by waving her hand back at me until I can see her.
(Third person at the tea house)
Fenmenor walks towards the table and sits opposites from the duke's children. She then starts nibbing on the cookies on the table that Angus was too distracted from seeing. As the kids stare at her.
After a brief period of her eating a cookie, she says" You will tell your master that he better stop trying to use my child in his plans.
And if he doesn't heed my warning I will come down and destroy his most prized possession. Now you may leave, I wish to speak to these beautiful children."
She threatens while mixing her tea together. Then a voice responds, "I will do as her majesty says but I can't leave the madam and the young master here alone."
After that statement, which seems to have come from nowhere. Fenmenor stops mixing her tea and the whole Tea House is plunged into silence.
"Are you disobeying my orders." Fenmenor asks calmly but the atmosphere around her is tense as the ether in the air is condescending and making the air heavier, while she
does this, she gets up and begins walking to a peculiar corner of the Tea House.
"Are you insinuating that I Fenmenor Syltumal am untrust worthy with these children,that I shrine maiden of All-mother am untrust worthy to be left alone with children."
As Fenmenor states this she breaks the invisibility ability that was being placed on the dark elf that appeared in front of where Fenmenor was talking too.
"Now if you don't want to me to kill you on grounds of disrespecting All-mother, breaking into the palace and disobeying a shrine maidens order. I would leave if I was you".
Fenmenor says as she looks into the eyes of this dark elf.
"Yes, thank you for the mercy shrine maiden. I will leave at once." Suddenly the dark elf speaks revealing that he was the voice that answer Fenmenor's question.
"Before you do delete that recording." Fenmenor demands before the dark elf could leave.
"Yes, I will do that your majesty". He answers back with haste as he brings out what seems to be a device similar to a camera.
Then he vanished, it as he was never there…
"Okay now that, that fly is gone let's have a proper conversation what do you say Elizeabeth."
Fenmenor says with a smile as she turns around and looks at Elizeabeth
and Felix.
...
"Miss Amber, do you know anything about my aunt that you could tell me about as I've never even knew I had an aunt until you told me today.
So is that something special that I must do before I'm allowed to meet her as she is the queen of the kingdom".
I ask as I'm starting to get nervous about meeting her as I've never meet her before.
Also, yes before you say anything it is different from meeting the dukes kids as I was warned before about their arrive but now I just have to go in ready or not. So yes, I am nervous.
"Alright, it looks like you have misunderstood something and her majesty Fenmenor has express her desire for me to educate you on the basic culture of the elves.
The elves do not refer to their rulers as Kings or Queens or Emperors or Empress. For the elves All-mother is their ruler and creator so they don't want to disrespect her my taking the titles I just mentioned like the other races.
The elves only call her majesty the queen, Queen because it is extremely impolite for any non-relatives or others of the same position to call her queen by her first name.
Thus, we need a placeholder for outsider to refer to the queen so we just chose queen so foreigners can understand who we are referring to. Now did you get all that?"
Miss Amber says a whole mini essay that quite a lot of information to digest.
"Um so if I'm getting it, my aunt isn't a queen but is just the subleader of the nation and All-mother is the actual leader and my aunt is only called queen so foreigners can understand that we are talking about my aunt."
I say unconcerned for showing my
advanced intelligent or my higher power of understanding to grasp that massive info dump right now.
Mm, yes in summary that is correct. Good job your majesty."
Miss amber says as she pats my mead with her free hand that is not carrying me.
"Now miss amber how do elves refer to my aunt if we know that 'Queen' is just a
placeholder?"
I ask as I have a feel this is similar to mamma wanting to be referred to
as, I think shrine priest instead of something else.
"Well elves and allies of elves refer to her majesty the queen as ambassador of All-mother or Tribe leader of the elves.
But most elves refer to her as Tribal leader."
Miss amber answers back.
"It looks like we have arrived in front of the throne room. This is where I must leave you your majesty."
Miss Amber says stopping me from analysing the information she has given me.
"But Miss Amber why are you not following me?"
I complain as this is feeling similar to this afternoon meeting the kids at the Tea House.
"That is because her majesty has order that only you are allowed to enter, apologizes your majesty."
Miss amber answers back with a lower tone.
"Its fine it's not your fault miss Amber."
I say as I turn to look as the imposing door to the throne room. This door is different form the ones I've seen as there doesn't seem to be any metal involved in making this door.
The door has different kinds of tree branches that are intertwined with each other that create this beautiful image.
As there are multiple coloured branches that I've never seen a tree have before an example is that there are pink tree branches along with blue, green, brown, red, yellow and black.
These are the colours that stood out to me. In the centre of the door there is an imitation of what I'm guessing is All-mother.
The imitation is made of white branches with gems at the end of each of its branches, in total there are nine gems on the imitation of All-mother.
As I approached the door and rub my hand on the imitation of All-mother. The gems start to shone white and the door begins to open separating into two different halves.
Revealing a huge room with a white throne at the end of the room.
Seated on that throneis a woman that seems to be related to mother but the only difference that I can notice from so far away is that the woman on the throne seems to be of a smaller build than mamma.
But she still carries dynamite of her own.
I say to Miss Amber without looking back.
"I'm going in".
As I walk in the tree entrance starts closing behind me. Shutting any path of escape I had.
I mean I didn't have anywhere to escape to and I don't even know how I would even escape because if the lady on the throne is any thing like my mamma that means she is strong.
So, here's hope that I don't die…
