Sachi stood there as she heard the news the guards came to deliver. She also felt strange at this.
Suddenly her expression changed as well. Not because of the news, but due of the system sound. It gave the notification alert.
"Find Fire spirit and capture reward Fire phoenix egg, find water spirit reward a phoenix egg, hint: Fire and water crystals."
Sachi did not expect that in her mother's family she will get lucky to get two eggs at the same time. She was completely excited.
Only one thing was bothering her. How to get to the mines?
She did not the know the place nor does she have the permission to enter the mines. She is the stranger here.
Even if she wants to hide and enter stealthily, she has to know the place. And how long will the spirits remain.
These questions bothered her.
Due to the news Lori's brother, the current head of Dyna family forgot to give punishment, even her father did not care about it anymore.
The elders were assigned tasks and quickly dispersed. The old general wanted to meet his friend quickly to inform him about this.
The old general's friend is none other than his in-law and the current king Alsan Von Finland II.
They were friends from their youth. They were brothers in arms. He wanted to stay with his friend. So, he even rejected the offer of being the marshal and other titles of the empire and stayed in Alsan kingdom.
The King also saw the general same. He listened to every word of his friend and asks his opinion in important matters.
Many became jealous of their friendship and did try to split them up but failed. They even became in laws.
The only disappointing thing was being Sachi's matter. However, it still did not affect their friendship.
Many tried taking advantage of it. However, they still failed. Well part of it also due to their children the Prince and Lori's brother involved and eliminated the haters secretly.
The kids also wanted their fathers to be friends and were happy at their bond. They did not want their fathers to split.
He got up and was about to leave when he heard Lori laugh.
Lori came back to the present as she heard her brother inform, he will visit the sites personally as their father suggested. She was lost in the memory of her encounter in the forest.
"I think you should congratulate your niece for bringing you luck" she said laughing.
"Hmm, what absurdity is that" her father snorted looking a little angry.
"You will not believe what we saw on our journey here" she replied smiling mysteriously.
Her brother felt something odd and looked behind him following Lori's eyes. When he saw the insignia crafted on the wall, he was thunderstruck, because he knew what that signified.
However, the oldman Argon did not look at her and left in hurry to meet his friend. Before he left, he saw towards the private box in the hall on first floor where a woman was standing sobbing. He also glanced towards Sachi.
As the old man went to see the King, the elders who dispersed went to complete their given tasks.
Meanwhile the young elder who spoke out of his turn inorder to curry favour was sweating as he did not what to do.
But when he saw others coming out excited, he approached one of elders he is close with and asked about the matter.
When he heard about the news about the minerals, metals and crystals he was excited as well.
Then he turned serious and asked his doubt "Weren't they angry at the lady?"
"Angry? Idiot" he scolded
"You should not have raised your voice or opinion. Why do you think the others were quiet and even the angry bunch did not raise voice?"
"But she eloped right?" the young elder said.

Private Garden of Dyna Family:
In the private garden of the Dyna family, a few people were seated.
After everyone dispersed, Lori's mom rushed inside and hugged her daughter tightly and cried. Her father was little annoyed by his wife's behavior but did not say anything as he left sighing. Before leaving he gave a side glance at Sachi and left.
Then they moved to the garden on the Lori's brother's suggestion.
Sachi's grandmother was a lady who looked like in her 50's. But the beauty and noble aura present can be felt. She saw her mother calming down the old lady who was crying nonstop and kissing her daughter's face again and again.
This was a little fresh for her, because her mother was quiet for most of the time at Poalm family. Also, in the Poalm family the girls are used for connections and sacrificial pawns. Though her grandmother loved her daughters, and fought for them after her husband passed away, the elders took control and undermined her decision. In the family including their own the girls were just pawns for the male.
But seeing the attitude of her mother's family towards her, she felt different. Maybe the family is angry on her mother for eloping, but they did not look down upon her except that idiotic elder.
She was still angry at the young elder who shouted at her mother.
When she heard the old lady speak Sachi came to present situation.
"How can you leave us like that? And you took this long to come home? Did you not think about us atleast one time, about this old lady" she cried.
"Mom, I'm really sorry. Please understand me. It's like I wanted to leave and not come back. The situations forced us. I wanted to support my man" replied Lori.
She tried to calm her mother explaining her situation.
The old lady looked at Sachi and hugged her as well tightly crying.
Sachi could only say "Hello grand ma" after that she did not get chance to speak as the old lady cried saying she missed her grandchild and lost precious memories and time to spend with her granddaughter.
Sachi did not know what to say to pacify her. She did feel sorry for her.
