Chapter 230 - XXII Royal Guard Captain (2/2)
”Ryn, Ryn...” When he returned to reality Elijah saw Yalli pulling his sleeve while pouting. She had been calling his name for five minutes without answer and she was already getting angry.
”I'm sorry.” Elijah raised the corner of his lips in a embarrassed smile. He truly lost himself in his own thoughts. Petting her short hair with his hand, he turned his vision to the female captain.
”So little brat wouldn't you introduce me to this elder sister of yours?” Yalli shaked his hand away with her face fully red while Yassia laughed at the side. It has been a few days since this cousin of hers became a female and is already so girlish in the way she reacted and moved.
”Can you stop touching my head, it tickles.” Stomping on the ground angrily, she rushed to hide behind Yassia. ”The woman in front of you is Yassia, my cousin and current captain of the royal guard in the city of Eternia. Sis, this man here is my saviour, you can call him Ryn.”
”Ryn? Time clan?”
Gving a slight bow, Elijah stood a few meters away.”Correct, it's a pleasure to meet captain Yassia.”
He was somewhat vulnerable at the moment and he knew being too close to someone with such intense and powerful energy could be harmful to him. Truth be told any of the mercenaries from before could defeat him if they ignored his strange powers and attacked from the start, he was just acting powerful after all, if a single attacked before he could use the shadow of time, he would be disabled at least.
”No, there is no need for formalities, call me Elder sis like this brat over here. So why are the two of you here today, the palace is closed for the time being as there is going to have a huge baquet with the leaders of the greatest factions all here. No even I can enter the palace, it seems they are going to have an important matter to discuss. I recommend finding a lodging to stay quickly, all the places will be crowded because of the tournament, as for mister Ryn I believe it will be easy to find a room in the time clan embassy.”
The moment the two heard this, they expressions worsened. It seems it won't be easy to enter the palace. Yalli also look surprised by the news. ”Really? We have something really important to inform, Ryn came all the way here for it.”
Yassia understood the way she felt but she had to shook her head. ”I'm sorry but rules are rules. Even with the time clan behind you, I was told no one can enter the palace before the banquet, though I still believe you have a chance.”
Their expression brightened when hearing this. Seeing the way they looked at her like puppies that saw water for the first time in weeks, she explained: ”I said there is a chance, nothing is really certain. For this tournament, one of the prizes for first place is a invite to participate in the banquet. However I should warn first that the this year's tournament is a team battle of four vs four and the new team enrollment ended four days ago.”
From the way she said it, they don't have any chance to participate in the tournament, but they were still confused to why she said they had a chance. ”From what i heard the is a single team with only two members. I remember their names being Ava and Evelynne, both eight level specters participating in the mortal tournament, you two can try to see if they can accept you, then if you win, your entrance to the palace is certain.”
