105 An Open Invitation (1/2)

”It is indeed, as expected for a letter from the King,” Vy grinned as she continued to read it.

”King Olwin?”

”Who else,” Vy replied, ”It looks like my blood did the trick. He is inviting me to visit him in the Capital. He also wants to give me an official title.”

Vy entered the house and held open the door for Lycster as he went in as well. There was some packing they needed to do before they could go. She was not going to bring an entourage of people with her either as the logistics of it would be too troublesome.

Looks like this was another adventure where it would be just Vy and Lycster.

”But what about Elette,” Lycster asked.

Vy gasped, she had forgotten about Elette! Vy and Lycster debated over the possibilities. Should they bring Elette with them? While the young girl had already gotten close to them, it was still difficult to take care of her while they were in the Capital.

”It's alright, Vy, I can stay behind to look after Elette. You can count on me,” Lycster said.

Vy patted Lycster on his head, ”I know, but this is one trip I want you to go with me. It would be an interesting experience after all.”

”Wouldn't it be better if Caster were to go with you instead? He can protect you when you're there.”

Vy shook her head, ”But he is needed in Timbretune, where his station is. You are the best candidate to go with me, Lyctser.”

After much thought and discussion, they still came to the conclusion that it was best to bring Elette along with them. While the girl was still young, she was bright for her age. As long as both of them kept an extra eye on her, she would be safe.

According to the date on the letter, it had been sent out almost a week ago, hence Vy swiftly wrote a reply and went out to have it mailed.

”Are you sending a reply based on a letter you had received directly from the Royal Court,” the lady at the Post Office asked.

”Yes, that's right, can I get it mailed, express please,” Vy replied.

”Oh, this must be your first time sending such a letter. For such a reply letter, we have a different route of delivery. The recipient would receive it in a day or less,” the lady explained.

With the letter sent, Vy headed back home and helped Lycster with the packing. They had initially feared that Elette would be less excited with the trip, but she was ecstatic.

”Does this mean I will get to ride the Ravy,” Elette asked with excitement in her voice.

”Ravy?” Vy asked.
