The chief who has short red hair walked towards them and stopped in front of Aaron.
"Who is this Emily?" He asked, turning his head to his daughter.
"Father, This is Aaron. He's a half elf and also an Elite Blood."
"What?"
"Did I heard her correctly?"
"This young child has Elite Blood?"
"I thought I was the only one who heard it."
"Emily won't play with such information."
"When have you ever seen her play?"
"You are right, it means this young man is really a..."
"Are you sure about this?" The chief asked with a slight frown.
"Em... Yes."
"You hesitated." He stared at his daughter in mild surprised.
"Are you the Commander who knows about my father?" Aaron asked, going straight to the point.
'This man is a freaking sky realm, a realm higher than my Mom. But still, he has to answer my question.'
"And who is your Father? What is his name?" The chief asked.
'What is his name? Thank goodness I have the All Seeing Eyes. Because my Mom didn't mention his name when telling us her past, but the All Seeing Eyes showed me.'
"Lucian."
The man staggered backward in shock upon hearing the name. "Come again, Young man?" He asked utterly shocked.
"Didn't you hear me the first time? Fine, his name is Lucian. I want to know some things about him."
"Come with me." The chief turned around and walked away.
"Keep that Raven, I will be coming for it." He said to Vince, then followed behind the Chief with Emily.
"That Bastard! What is so good about an Elite blood? Is it better than a pure blood?!" Vince hissed in rage.

[Emily's Home.]
The Chief's house wasn't anything fancy, but a simply three bedroom, If the houses in the village are all made from wood, The Chief's house was made from mud.
"Seat down." The Chief said to Aaron, as the three entered the House.
He closed the door, locking all the locks on it. Aaron turned to Emily in confusion.
"It's ok." She whispered to him.
"So your father's name is Lucian. Right?" He walked towards them and sat down in front of Aaron and Emily.
"Do I have to repeat myself always?" Aaron asked.
"Ha! I like you. Emily, can you bring something for our Prince."
"Yes." Emily stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Prince?" Protean and Aaron were stunned again.
"Yes, My prince. Your father is the Eldest son of the Demon king, and the rightful heir to the throne."
"I'm guessing he didn't seat on it, because if he did, the encounter with my mom won't be possible." Aaron said folding his hands on his chest.
"Correct, How old are you young man?" The Chief asked, seeing Aaron was more knowledgeable than his age.
"Do you want to know my real age or fake age?"
"Pardon?"
"...."
Aaron just stared at him with a flat expression.
"The both will be ok." The Chief said with a smile.
"Truth: I'm six months old, False: I'm 6 years old."
The Chief blinked a couple of times, then nodded at him. "Where were we? Oh! Your father."
"Can I know more about him? All I have known so far is that he's the first son of the Demon king, so I'm guessing he has a sibling, or even more. One or all of them hated him and want to get rid of him. And my father who is a kind of gentle type, he doesn't like fighting and killing, so he left the castle to other continent. And saw my mother; and that resulted to me."
Protean, The Chief and even Emily who stood at the door with a tray of food and tea froze in shock.
"Did you guessed all that?" Protean asked out loud.
"Ahem!!" The Chief coughed.
"You are right on a lot of things, but your father isn't the gentle type. He was the Commander of all the Demon soldiers, and I'm his right-hand man. Your father moved away because of a task assigned by the King, but none of us knew it was all a plan by the Queen and your father's step-brother, I won't call him "step" because that scoundrel was Adopted. He sent your father away so he could have the freedom to do whatever he wanted. After a week, Your grandfather was poisoned... That adopted bastard who goes by the name Zukor, and your father's mother planned to take over the throne. But the council refused, saying that the first and rightful Son is still on his mission, he'll return to take the throne and rule as king..."
He sighed deeply, while Emily placed the tray on the table in between the two.
"The two were enraged with the council, and killed them all. Then four months ago, we got the news that the first Prince, your father; is Dead. With no other excuses, that fool was then crowned the king of the demon race."
"So my father's real mother hated him, and helped her adopted son to take the throne. Are you sure these two aren't in any secret relationship?"
"Huh?" The three were stunned again.
"You are saying these two have a romantic relationship?" The chief asked in mild confusion.
"Correct, That is the only explanation. I'll say they are using their mother-and-son relationship to cover it up." He took a cookie from the tray and ate it.
"You might be right, But there are more information about your father, but I want you and your Mom to know about this. Can you bring her to the village?" The Chief asked.
Aaron thought for a moment, and nodded. "Ok."
'Even if you have a plan, You won't succeed. But if you don't have a plan, I'll be happy to move my Mom and sister from that forest.'
"Emily." The chief turned to his daughter. "You have a mission, Take Aaron to his Mom, and being her here. She needs to know about our situation, and Maybe Aaron will be the light we have been searching for."
"Ok father, But the Flesh Eaters' Forest is dangerous, don't you think--"
"--Remember the stone I gave you?"
Emily nodded.
"That is a transportation stone, inscribe the magic circle on it and the gateway will appear, No matter where you are."
"Ok father, We'll be back." Emily stood up.
Aaron took more cookies and stared it in his bag. "This is for the journey." He picked up the tea and drank everything in one gulp.
"We'll see again." He said, and the three walked out of the house after unlocking the door.
'You are our last hope Aaron.'
