Chapter 656 - The Loyalty Oath - Part 2 (1/2)
”I am the current King of The Elven Kingdom, Revalor.” The Elven King bowed his head at Tang Shaoyang as he introduced himself to his Lord. After him, Moonsong also bowed his head. ”I am Moonsong, Chief Moon of the Moonlight Tribe. It's a pleasure to serve you, My Lord.”
”Mnn.” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and looked at Elven's group. They wore a black cloak, and the atmosphere was quite gloomy too. He looked at the group and found out that the Elven who followed The Elven King was relatively young. There were ten Elven that looked at the same age as Crown Prince Virion and three old elven.
Noticing Tang Shaoyang's attention on them, The Elven King smiled sadly. ”The Elven is mourning because we lost six of our Elders. We are sorry to wear the black cloak for the Loyalty Lord, My Lord.”
The sadness was genuine even though he was the one who killed the six Elders. Aleesa's eyes widened in shock as she looked at the Elven King. 'What happens?' She wanted to ask that, but she knew this was not the right moment. Before she went to meet her husband, the six Elders that were not here were still alive yesterday. How could they die overnight?
”I offer my sincere condolences for your loss.” Tang Shaoyang responded with a nod. He thought of asking how they died. Since The Elven was his vassal, he thought of avenging the six Elders' death. However, he felt something fishy about the whole situation. He glanced at Aleesa and noticed the Elven girl was surprised by the news of the six Elders' death. He decided to keep silent about the Elder's death.
”They have found their peace within the Sacred Tree. That's the final resting place for us, The Elven.” The Elven King smiled.
For some reason, the Elven King's words gave Tang Shaoyang a chill. It was as if the Elven King was someone from fanatical religion or something. He threw away the thoughts and got to the main topic directly. ”We will start the Loyalty Oath after she explains what is necessary.”
Tang Shaoyang pulled Selena with him, bringing her to the Elven and The Moonlight Tribe. ”She has a class Holy Priest, and she has an ability to cast something like a system contract, The Oath. She is also my wife, Selena.”
”We greet Lady Selena.” The Elven King and Chief Moon were the first two to greet Selena with a slight bow of their heads. The others followed after them, greeting Selena just like their leaders did. After Tang Shaoyang introduced Selena, Chief Moon took the initiative to introduce his people too.
Chief Moon brought two Grand Elders and twelve Elders with him, nothing else. The Elven King brought the remaining three Elders and also ten younger Elven. The ten younger Elven were the successor to the Elder's position. Not just did The Elven King abdicate his throne, but The Elders also resigned from their position. Of course, Crown Prince Virion was among the group.
Even though this was an official event, it did not take long for the Loyalty Oath. It started with Selena explaining the oath and telling them to follow her words. After the instruction, she extended her right hand toward the Elven and The Moonlight Tribe as her left hand extended toward Tang Shaoyang. ”I…”
The Elven King, Chief Moon, and the others followed the oath, and the light glow surrounded the group. The glow was getting brighter and brighter, and after they finished the oath. The glow was transferred through Selena's hand toward Tang Shaoyang. The radiant glow enveloped Tang Shaoyang before sipping into his body.
