TBATE | The chosen emissary

Chapter 16: Who are you?

(A/n: I just added more details in the conversation so it should feel more reasonable and appropriate)

Third person's POV:

"Future?", Virion frowned at Vigor.

"Yes, by the definition of yours about my speciality.....I'm something of a diviner myself.", Vigor placed his helm on the table with his eyes slightly glanced at a wine bottle on the shelf in the room, wanting to try a taste of Elven liquor.

"Are you serious child?", Alduin regained his composure after Vigor's identical reveal.

"When you see me not having any drop of wine on my tongue then yes, I am being very serious at the moment, your Majesty. And before you ask if I'm too young to drink, I'm currently 8 years old.", Vigor stopped for a brief second to see how everyone react with disbelief.

"My god, Art, do all human boys in your age also have anomaly behavior like this?", Tessia whispered.

"I..... honestly have no idea Tess.", Arthur admitted, "But I'm confident to guarantee that no way human parents let their 8 years old children drink wine.", he commented at the unusual case of Vigor.

"I believe that common sense applied for all races rather than just human.", Tessia corrected and Arthur nodded in agreement.

"Look child, let it be you earn our respect and recognition for today, doesn't mean that you can speak nonsense bluffs to us.", Alduin responded first.

"Three years ago, the human boy who's sitting beside you named Arthur Leywin got separated from his family, survived his deadly fall. After several months being trained by a Dragon, he was passed down with her Will and her daughter, who is the little lizard with wings laying on his head." Vigor pointed at Arthur.

"Kyu?", Sylvie tilted her head in confusion.

'The hell?', Arthur looked at him with widen eyes. The same thing could be said for the Eralith family.

"Then he saved your princess from slave traders, became Elder Virion's student, resided at here until the portal gate to Xyrus got opened aaaand you know the rest.",Vigor finished.

"How?!!! Who are you?!", Alduin slammed the table and stood up with visible irritation.

Taking that as a sign, the royal guards around Vigor immediately pointed their swords at Vigor, considering him as a threat.

"Woah woah woah woah, chill chill!!! What happened with me being the hero of the kingdom?", Vigor raised his hands skyward with his face not really showing any features of being scared. He wasn't afraid of these disgruntled dolts trying to intimidate him . Yet to him the only true threat in this room was Virion , who could easily smack his face into a pulp despite his old age, unlike others, quickly composed and began to take Vigor's words seriously.

"Guards.", Virion gestured his hand for the guards to stop and sheath back their weapons.

"As I said your Majesty. Vigor Kinsteel of house Kinsteel, a noble but also humble house in Valden. We forge and sell weapons."

"Since when your people got developed enough in magic's insight to access to future foresight?", Alduin asked.

"No, no people. Just me.", Vigor corrected bluntly which shocked everyone even more.

"Speak the truth brat, how could you possibly gain the power of our distinctive deviant?", Virion shot Vigor with vigilant eyes.

"I'm sorry Elder, that would be my utmost secret. No one, even my family knows about it."

"So you even hide the truth huh? In what way can you think that we will be convinced by whatever being said from a mere kid?",Alduin with a dead stare.

"Because let me remind you this mere kid is the one who killed dozens of bandits, saved an entire village, spent 2 days carrying them to here and offered them to you like a literally birthday present along with full access to put an end to the slave trading system permanently. Do you really think I went through all those hardships because I have a golden heart of angel and a soft spot of compassion and justice? Do you think I want to get in good terms with you and take in your advantage?!
