101 The Festival (1/2)

Ryuu woke up early next day as he sat up giving a huge yawn, a maid entered the room greeting Ryuu, ”Good Morning you're highness.”

Ryuu eyes focused on the newcomer as his vision cleared he was greeted with a smiling visage of Biskha.

Ryuu was happy to see Biskha again, she was not only the first person he met after coming to Ayindril all those years ago but she had been one of the maids who had been taking care of him the longest, ”Biskha Good Morning, but why are you here? Did not leave with Big Sister's group?”

Biskha: ”Well her Highness send me to look after you in Aika's place, why you're Highness are you not happy to see me?”

Ryuu: ”No no I am very happy to see, you have been taking care of me for so long why would I not be happy to see you, I was just curious that is why I asked why you were here, and Biskha drop this you're highness thing I told you I do not like it.”, he finished speaking while pouting.

Biskha spoke with a smile, ”Well Lord Ryuu, I told you that I cannot speak with you, without giving you any form of respect, also my Lord the village head man came and he invited you to attend a festival that is held yearly at this village in order to honor their ancestors.”

Ryuu was stunned, ”Festival, really so when will it be held?”

Biskha: ”It will start around late morning, also he mentioned that there will be a small feast held and we all are invited to attend. Oh also your sisters send the items you requested.”

Ryuu spoke happily, ”That is the most wonderful news I received today. So any idea on what I should wear and any customs I should be aware of while visiting them, oh when do you think I should gift them those techniques.”

Biskha: ”There is no restriction on wearing anything and as for customs well they are a few, they have to fast till the start of the ceremony when they will drop various food specially the favorite food of the deceased on a bon fire according to them the smell of the burnt food will be carried to the deceased.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”Well then I also wish to join in their celebration, so send someone to inquire if it is possible for me to join, and if they have no problem then prepare a few of my mother's favorite food as well as a glass of nice wine. ”

As the time for the celebration began Ryuu came along with a few of the maids present in his house as a few of them opted to stay back.

As Ryuu stepped inside the village, his friends quickly surrounded him.

Estelle: ”Ryuu we were so worried we heard what happened while trying to hunt the Imoogi, it was so scary and huge, and we thought you were severely injured as such we tried to visit you but we were not allowed, boo hooo”, she hugged him tightly as she cried hard.
