Did The Angels Kick You Out?

Chapter 14

"So you want the Evei stone dust of Elves. That's it? What are you even gonna do with that?" The king asked.

"It's not your concern." Cyan said.

We were currently sitting in a large drawing room with the Elven King. He was sitting on the sofa on the other side of the centre table from us.

"Very well.." he said sipping tea from his cup. "I wouldn't mind giving something to my old friend, but you should know that better- nothing comes for free"

"You said that after calling me 'old friend'? Anyways what is it that his majesty would want from a shallow devil such as myself?

"Haha... You amuse me!" He chuckled before turning a bit serious. "I want you to retrieve the lightening blade of us that is stolen by the Night Elves."

"WHAT?! You can't do that!! That's the very reason our kingdoms fell into clutches of war! If you took it back then it surely will destroy the peace!!

Zen said standing up slamming his fist on the table.

King glared at him seriously. "There's a reason why I'd do that. But since you're not at all present for any discussions regarding the state. Likes of You wouldn't know."

Zen sat down silently.

The air around this has grown way to heavy than I can handle. I don't even know what's going on anymore. I thought all this is about me but looks like I'm the only one who's clueless. Aaah WHY AM I BEING LIKE A SIDE CHARACTER EVERY TIME!? Not that I'm gonna voice my thoughts now in here....so it doesn't matter.

"So, mind telling me the reason?" Cyan asked folding his hands and putting one leg on other.

Gotta say he looks really cool and hot in his serious mode. But maybe I'd like him better in his normal attitude. He's kinda scaring me...

"Lightening blade was given to the Night Elves by us to ensure their safety for themselves after a prolonged conflict since there's a huge power difference between us. They felt that we might dominate them. So we gave our Lightening Blade to them as a pact of peace" He sighed.

"But With help of some secret agents and officials I've find out that the Night Elves are planning to use the lightening blade to strike a war against us. They must have learnt about it's destructive power.

"So to prevent the war, you want to dominate them?" Cyan asked.

"That's not what I meant.."

"We'll, that makes sense since you can easily do this by yourselves.

"To put it simply. I want you to destroy the Lightening Blade. If a third party do that, there will be no chance of any conflict and with the blade being destroyed they can't rebel against us."

"I see. I'd do that." Cyan said.

King smiled at him. "See you soon" but he didn't even spared a glance at Zen. Looks like Zen and his father's relationship isn't really well...

After that finally I took a breather. The atmosphere in that room was so intense now I feel really light. We were still in the palace garden. The air was chilly but it felt good.

"So, who are Night Elves?" I asked when everyone seemed relaxed.

"Not quite a reader were you? Everyone knows there are two kinds of Elves. One receive power from Sun are Light Elves, other who receive power from moon are Night Elves." Cyan explained.

"Let's go back." Zen said getting up. He went ahead from us.

He looked down...

"Hey! What's with Zen and his Father?" I asked Cyan.

"Not really a big deal. He got fed up with all the responsibilities, instructions, and royal-stuff and left the palace." He said nonchalantly as we walked.

"I see... By the way are you okay?" I asked.

He looked at me surprised. "Why do you ask?"

"You looked really different with your serious aura. I almost couldn't recognise you."

"Did I scare you?" He smiled.

"I'd be lying if I said you didn't.".

He looked like he didn't expected this to be my answer. But then he grinned.

"Let's go make something sweet for Zen! He looked little grumpy"

Ah.. that smile of his. He returned normal. And the way he's worried for his best friend. . . CUTE!!

"Hmm!!" I nodded.
