114 Surprise after Surprise (1/2)
(Few minutes after the explosion in Korrinth)
”Welcome to Everlight”
Just when the bright light beam disappeared Nikalas saw a woman walking towards him with a smile. And when he looked closer at the woman, he recognized the woman as Reghys, the same woman he met in Korrinth.
Besides Nikalas Riya stood nervously holding Vivian's wheelchair while Nikalas noticed the engravings and runes on the wall and the ground in the room.
”Come, let's go meet the others”
Reghys waved her hands as Prince Nikalas slowly rolled his wheelchair and moved forward towards the door.
”What!”
The moment Riya stepped out of the room, she saw little green figures running around in the hallway laughing and when the green figures saw them, they quickly ran away.
”Don't be afraid, they are just goblins”
Seeing the shock on Riya's face, Reghys said.
However, the shock on Riya's face did not fade away as she saw a couple of short bulky bearded men
”Good evening, Guardian”
Reghys nodded and walked past them while Nikalas and Riya looked at the dwarves with gaped mouths.
”Dwarves”
Nikalas mumbled under his breath and couldn't guess what the heck is Everlight where goblins and dwarves could run around with smiles on their faces.
”Amaryll”
As the four of them reached the throne hall, Reghys called Amaryll.
While they were waiting, Nikalas and Riya felt dizzy just by looking at the throne hall.
It was nothing like the throne hall in Korrinth and in fact, the throne hall he was at must be at least twenty times larger than the throne hall in Korrinth and the decorations, windows, and the carpet underneath him, the seats were high end and extravagant.
”Wow”
Riya felt tiny standing in the huge spacious room and she could guess each item in the throne hall would cost thousands of gold coins or even life energy stones.
”Who is he?”
Nikalas couldn't ask after everything he had just seen.
”Why did you call me?”
Riya and Nikalas turned their head in the direction of the voice to see a girl walking towards them. As she got closer, Nikalas's jaw almost dropped onto the ground seeing her. The girl before him was extremely beautiful, even Darlene who was the prettiest girl in Korrinth couldn't match her beauty.
She had glossy golden hair and wore a green dress with little shiny stones etched on. Even Riya who is a girl felt her heart skip a beat when she saw the girl and wanted to befriend her.
”Oh”
Seeing the newcomers, a sudden smile appeared on Amaryll's face
”You're Nikalas, Riya, and Vivian right?”
The two of them were still in shock as they stood without uttering a word as Amaryll chuckled seeing the shocked faces.
”Hello”
Reghys's voice brought back Riya and Nikalas out of the shock as they nodded
”Alright Amaryll, you know what to do with them. See you guys later”
As she said, Reghys left the throne hall in a flash leaving them with Amaryll.
”Elf”
Nikalas mumbled when the wind pushed Amaryll's hair and revealed the pointy ear.
”Human”
Amaryll said and chuckled which made Nikalas embarrassedly smile.
Usually, Amaryll would feel hostile around the nobles and anyone from the royal families but she had already heard Nikalas's story from Reghys.
So she felt sympathy towards them and wanted to give them home just like Don did to her and the elves.
”Pel, Xeq”
Just after she called, Nikalas saw another two goblins wearing white hats on their head running towards them.
”I'm going out for a while, just add some salt to the soups and let it rest. Do you understand me?”
Hearing Arrora the goblins nodded with enthusiasm while Riya could promise that she saw an evil grin appearing on their face for a moment
”Not understand wane, xeq todarit es our luckrit dal”
(We understand girl, Xeq today is our lucky day)
The goblins chuckled mischievously
”DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING THE FOOD”
The goblins' chuckle on their disappeared and fear appeared on their faces hearing Amaryll's commanding voice.
It turned out that goblins were good at being assistants and despite the language barrier, they were very helpful to Arrora in the treasury work and cooking. However when Amaryll was not around, these two always try to steal food before even the serving starts even though they would get the same food as the others.
”Don't make me break your hands, greenies”
Nikalas saw the goblins run away shivering as Amaryll laughed.
”Let's go meet, Knight”
As she said Arrora gestured at them to follow her but after walking a few steps Amaryll realized that it would be hard for Nikalas to keep up with her.
”Catalie”
