34 Chapter 34: Lesson and Feas (1/2)
Caesar and the knights soon made it to the castle gates, the elves naturally followed behind them. The knights and archers stationed at the castle gates were a bit bewildered at the sight of the following elves… They had an idea as to what happened but after all, there was no way they could hear Caesar's and that elf representatives voice from the castle walls.
The battle had been going on for some time so Caesar and the rest were all quite exhausted. Caesar led the troops through the gate slowly, right as they moved through the gates Caesar and the rest of the knights could hear a loud applause.
*clap*
*clap*
*whistle*
After feeling the appreciation from the civilians smiles blossomed on the faces of the knights, soon a crowd of people pushed through some of the applauding crowd.
”Darling, your okay!”
”Daddy, *sob* I thought I wouldn't get to see you again”
Tears of happiness streamed down the faces from many of the family members belonging to the returning knights, Caesar smirked and began to take his armor off.
”Son! I'm glad your okay” A voice clearly holding back tears ented Caesar's ears
Caesar looked up to see his dad, Sebastian, and Elizabeth all had happy smiles on their faces welcoming Caesar. Caesar smiled widely and crouched down opening his arms, Elizabeth came running and jumped in them.
”I haven't seen you for so long daddy!” she giggled and said sweetly
Caesar picked her up and twirled her around, she giggled happily while caesar silently contemplated… ”I guess I am not alone after all,” he thought silently while looking at Elizabeth's blissful face.
Caesar twirled her around for a bit longer before gently setting her down, he walked towards the front of the awkward elves and turned to face the civilians of Rahvin kingdom.
”Although you all may have your differences, the elves have agreed to join our kingdom, not as allies but to be treated as our own… We will treat each other as a family even if we were enemies prior”
Caesar said loudly letting everyone hear it, the elves behind him nodded appreciatively and the kind civilians all laughed and cheered.
”Welcome to Rahvin kingdom!” they all shouted with joyful smiles.
The elves behind Caesar all held awkward smiled on their faces as they waved back. Seeing this scene Caesar smiled slightly and walked away, the elves and citizens of Rahvin kingdom started to mingle right after Caesar left.
”Oh my, your skin is so beautiful,” A woman said to an elf
”Hehe, don't flatter me.” the elf girl replied shyly
”Wow! Your quite muscular” an elf man said to a blacksmith
”Haha, I'm not as handsome as you though” the human male replied
The elves and humans were getting along decently well, there were still some elves and humans that were reluctant to talk to each other due to past grudges.
As Caesar was walking back to his manor he caught sight of Ahri, right as Caesar made eye contact with her she turned away in annoyance. Caesar tilted his head in confusion as he walked over.
Ahri just stood there with her arms crossed, Caesar smirked as he walked behind her and whispered in her ear ”What's wrong?”
Contrary to his expectations she didn't bush this time but instead looked at him angrily ”I didn't know you had a daughter, who is the mother?”
Caesar first looked at Ahri with surprise and then flung his head back and roared with laughter ”haha, that is what you were worried about?” Caesar said laughing while wiping a tear from his eye.
”W-what? I-it's not as though I'm jealous but to do those a-acts with me even though you already have another woman is disrespectful to me and to her… WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!?!” Ahri shouted out excuses rapidly and became louder and louder with each word.
Caesar held back his laughter and looked at her with a sly smile, ”you don't need to worry, she is not my biological daughter, meaning that I don't have a woman”
Ahri's face became relieved at Caesar's words but after looking at Caesar's sly smile she soon became embarrassed and her face flushed red.
”I'm sorry, I didn't know… I thought you were just playing with me all those times” Ahri said with tears in her eyes and her ears furrowed.
Caesar patted her head and chuckled ”don't worry about it, I'm sure any lass would be curious as to why I have a girl calling me daddy when I'm so young” Caesar said to comfort her
A smile soon blossomed on Ahri's face… ”thank you” she said appreciatively
”Young master, madam, I am going to prepare a feast at the manor, shall we all go together?” Sebastian soon interrupted both Caesar and Ahri.
Caesar nodded and said: ”yeah, let's all go together”
Caesar, Ahri, Sebastian, Crowley, Elizabeth and the rest all walked back to their manor… along the way Elizabeth would continue to pester Caesar about his battles, the rest would just laugh at her innocent questions.
