Chapter 295 - Something Unexpected (1) (unedited) (2/2)
”Let her come.” Regaleon said.
Chris brought the siren child near us, but he was still wary and held her by the shoulder just to make sure she would not do anything. The siren child glared at us with her green emerald eyes. Her hair was so red as if it were on fire.
”Are you the king and leader of this group?” She asked with c.o.c.kiness.
”Watch your tone in front of the king.” Chris tightened his grip on the sire child's shoulders.
”Do not hurt her.” Regaleon said with a calm demeanor. ”Yes, I am the king of Grandcrest. What business do you have with me?” He said with a friendly tone.
”Our queen, before she… disappeared…” The siren child trailed off. ”She said that you gave your word and will not harm our kind. Is that true?” She asked with innocence.
”Yes, I gave your queen my word.” Regaleon said.
”Will you really protect us and will not condemn us for being different?” The siren child asked, as if wanting to know if Regaleon was truthful enough to be given their queen's trust and the safety of their race.
”As a king, I will never break the word that I have given.” Regaleon said. ”I promise that your kind will be given a place in my kingdom and all of you will be safe.”
Regaleon gas already made such a thing happened. He had given the Atlantians, the forsaken human race, a place to be called home on Grandcrest. Regaleon has given the siren queen a promise to save their kind, then he must have a good reason behind it.
”Then as my race's representative, I will give you my trust. The siren race will be in your debt.” The siren child said. ”I am also here to detoxify the queen's poison that had seeped inside you and your wife. As you know, old sirens have poisons in their long sharp nails and the queen's poison was the most poisonous of all. But do not worry because I have the antidote here with me.”
Regaleon's eyes went wide hearing the siren child's words.
”Unbound her at once.” He ordered. Chris took of the siren child's bounds.
”Then, excuse me.” The siren child held a pearl and hovered it on my lips.
The pearl was like any other pearl that I have seen, but then a drop of liquid came out from it. The liquid had gone straight to my mouth. Drop after drop went in my mouth and I gulped it slowly.
”That should do it.” The siren child said. ”Next will be you, sir.” She told Regaleon.
Like what she had done with me, she did it also to Regaleon. After that, I felt my body that was once heavy and ached become light and the pain disappeared.
”How are you feeling now?” Regaleon kneeled on one knee and felt my forehead with his palm while the other held my hand.
”I am doing fine.” I replied with a smile. ”It feels like I was not even poisoned in the first place.” I giggled.
”This is no laughing matter.” Regaleon said. ”What if I send you back to the capital of Alvannia first? You can fully rest there first. We can go and retrieve the key fragment ourselves. It is just a few days from here and…” He trailed off.
”No!” I said firmly. ”I know what you are going to say, but I am not going to the capital with the guise of recuperating. I am fine Leon.” I sat down to let him see I am alright and doing much better.
”It is just… I do not want to see you get hurt.” Regaleon said with a worried tone. ”If I see you again like that, I do not know what to do.”
I understand pretty well what Regaleon was feeling right now. He was afraid after seeing my life in danger.
”You know that I will worry as well if once I go back to the capital.” I said. ”I will also worry day and night on you while you are our retrieving the key fragments, and that I would think of going to find you by myself if I cannot handle it.”
Regaleon sighed. We have talked about this before we left the village. He knew that have the capability to slip out of my guards if I must, to go and find him.
”I understand.” Regaleon said and kissed my forehead. ”Just, don't be reckless again okay. It will be best to burn me at the beginning to wake me up if ever that happened again.”
”Then I will burn you without any second thoughts.” I said teasingly and we laughed together.
