"Then it is fixed that we will attend this task. But I wonder How there is another beast's king. You all said Aren Killed the beast king."
Stuard was confused about magical beasts. Richard looks worried. He remembered what happened a few days ago. Aren barely came back alive. Dazel looked at Aren's face.He was trying to read Aren's expressions. Aren was thinking about something.
"You are right. The fact is that someone is pulling the string behind our back. And we need to find out the truth."
Aren said the culprit is a human and they need to find him.
"I see, My lord, we need to head back in now. Sir Richard does not look well."
Dazel said that while grabbing Richard's arm. Aren and Stuart also noticed that. They also lend their help to carry Richard. After that they came back to the inn.
While coming back to the inn they placed Richard on the bed. He was still unconscious. Dazel came in some cold water in a bowl and he also brought a napkin with him.
Dazel dropped the towel into the cold water and drained the water from it. Then he rubbed Richard's face and hands on it. After that Dazel unbuttoned Richard's shirt and rubbed his body. Rechard slowly regains consciousness. Everybody looked at him. Aren sat beside him. Aren took Richard's hand and rubbed his plum. Richard was shocked. He tried to sit but Aren laid him down on the bed again.
"What happened? When we came here?"
Rechard asked Aren, full of confusion.
"Richard calm down first, You were unconscious in the guild. And we all bring you to the inn. Looked like you were feeling sick. Why didn't you tell us before?"
Aren replied to Richard and described the situation. And also asked him why he did not let them know that he was feeling sick.
"Umm, I was not feeling sick. I was terrified. The beast king was strong enough for us to defeat. Aren, You barely defeated the king. If it was done by humans , the previous time he collected data behind our back. He wanted to observe our power. And now he might have created a more powerful magical beast. I am afraid. Are we really going to defeat the magical beasts?"
When saying that Richared's eyes filled with worry and thoughtless. Stuart and Dazel also looked worried. They were in deep thought.
"You are right. But we have to take responsibility, especially me. I'm the village head here. And they have lots of hope in me. I can't ignore it. I need to accept the task if it might take my life."
Aren stood up and went to the window. He looked outside. The moon was brilliantly shining in the sky. Fresh air came through the window. His silky hair danced with the air flow. He took a deep breath and said that he was responsible for this village. He can not run away.
"You are not alone, I'm with you. No matter what happens in the future I will always protect you."
Stuart came near to Aren and he hugged Aren in his behind.
Aren silently smiles and makes himself comfortable.
"My Lord, I'm also with you no matter what you decide to do. I always serve you my best."
Dazel also agreed to Aren.
"Sigh! I think I do not have any option though."
Richard shook his head and he also agreed with all of them.
"Okay, okay let's call it a night. My lord and prince Stuart and prince Richard,We should have dinner. And we need to take a rest."
Dazel proposed to everyone to have dinner and rest.
"Okay." Everyone agreed with him.
"Prince Richard, I will make you a bowl of soup. You do not need to walk."
Dazel forbade Richard to leave his bed.
"Okay" Poor Richard had no choice but to agree with Dazel.
That night they took a rest.
"What should I do now? I came here to find Princess Elia. But the magical beasts are the real deal. I need to protect the South Heart village and also Lancaster kingdom. I should forget finding Princess Elia. From tomorrow I need to go to the guild and submit my form and accept the challenge. After solving the mystery I will come back here and find Princess Elia. I am sure Princess Elia is staying here."
Aren was lying on his bed. His window curtain was flowing with the rhythm of the air. He covered his eyes with his right hand. He was thinking about what he should do! And finally he was able to decide what he should do.
In the night Elia felt the symbols of her room glowing. And it was brilliant golden coloured. Elia sat up and stare at it.
"Strange! Why is it glowing now? And now it's colour also changed. What the reason for it's glow this time. Every time it glow with blue colour but this time it's golden and it's too bright."
Elias face looked full of confusion and curious. So she stood up and tried to touch the symbol's but to her surprise, it's gone.
"What the heck! What's going on? I think I was so tired that I hallucinated it. I should sleep now. Tomorrow is my first day at my job. I need to wake up early."
Elia mumbled to herself and fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning Elia woke up early. Lina brings breakfast for her and at the same time Luis brings some fresh flowers for Elina. And he wished her good morning.
"Good morning, My lady. Did you sleep well?"
"Good morning Luis. Yes I did. Thank you for asking."
Elia smiled with a nod and replied to him. She thanked him when she drank a sip of milk tea.
" Wel come my lady, wish you good luck on your new journey."
Luis also wished Elia good luck. His face looked like an innocent puppy.
"Um, Thank you. Oh my god! I'm gonna be late. Thank you Lina and Luis.
Elia again replied to him and took the cup to the tea-table. And she noticed the watch and ran out while saying that.
"I hope everything will be fine. When we came to this village something strange happened to her."
Lina said that with a worried face.
"To be continued
Stay tuned"
