Chapter 218 - 218: The Pit Of Africa (2/2)
This big one is Siwazuri," Badru said as he gestured towards the tall dark-skinned old
"And this pretty one is Adia," Badru then placed his hand on the young worandfather, they quickly bowed and kneeled on the floor
"There's no need for that, please stand up," Charlotte quickly waved her hand
Van could not help but blink his eyes a couple of tirandchildren They were probably about the sa it hard to discern their ages since they all so Badru's grandson, Siwazuri, was bald like him… and the rest of the men in the country They also had tattoos on their body, so Van has been using that to separate thehter, Adia, wore her hair straight, with a part of it in dreads similar to Latanya's But alas, unlike Latanya, any wo in a certain department
"It is an honor to finally meet you, White Imvubu!" Adia quickly saluted towards Charlotte as she sto the whole stadium to quake
"Oh?" Charlotte could not help but be a little aize for my sister's display, Queen Charlotte!" Siwazuri bowed as he tried to pull Adia away, "Unlike your gracefulness, my sister is like a water buffalo in a staht," Charlotte chuckled, "Kids need to have that fire in their eyes to succeed"
Charlotte then slowly placed her hand on Adia's shoulder, causing her to flinch King Badru's s that, his sweat quickly e froround, biting her lip to try and distract herself frohout her whole body Even the people that were clapping their hands instantly stopped
It remained like this for a whole 30 seconds before Charlotte re in the future, Adia"
And as soon as Charlotte said that, Adia's legs gave out, falling on her butt as she burst out in tears The other people watching as well, cheered for her as the whole auditoriu Badru and Siwazuri then lifted Adia on their shoulders, bouncing her up and down as the people once again started singing the Ballad of the White Imvubu
"" Van, on the other hand, wondered what just happened Was this what Andreaother people's culture when they went to the Chinese restaurant back in the market?
The festivities continued on, with Charlotte being kept busy by the people that wanted to o towards the huge screen, touching it to see if he could figure out hoorked
"" Van even went behind the screen, trying to see if there were actually people hiding there But to his surprise, it was just e here and there
"Puppets?" Van thought
"hello, you are called Va-an, yes?"
Van's little exploration was then cut short as a voice called to hihtly bowed his head towards the wo him
"No, no," Adia quickly waved her hand, "I'randdaughter?"
"Well…" Adia placed her hand on her chin, "Just call e, my status is beneath you"
"Call me President Van then"
"What was that?"
"Nothing," Van shook his head, "Did you need so from me, Miss Adia?"
"Not at all I just wanted to speak with you, if that is alright?" Adia respectfully asked as she placed the small dreaded part of her hair behind her ear
"Sure," Van said as he took one last glance behind the huge screen Maybe soy
"My grandfather said you and the White I in a specific Portal?" Adia quickly asked as she let out a s if I can come with the two of you?"
"That's not really forto the Pit, I don't think it is appropriate for a princess to go there"
"The… Pit?" Adia slightly tilted her head to the side before letting out a s used as a prisoner?"
"Yes?"
"But we don't have those here"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Well, we used to have one a couple of hundred years ago, but it was abolished when the Circle went away"
"What?" Van once again asked If the Pit no longer existed in this country… Then ere they doing here in the first place? "But it the Portal should still be here?"
The Portals being used as a Pit held a certain unique characteristic ast other Portals-- it didn't have an Objective, and thus can't be closed; at least that's what the general public knew Considering there were a lot of things new to Van's eyes here, anything he had ever known back in Aht as well be… all lies
"It does," Adia let out a short sigh, "But…
No one is really allowed to go there, maybe even the White Imvubu"
