Battle Between Races (FWKHR Book 3)

" Are you ready Rin?", Cielo asked with a smile. Today he was wearing a silver formal suit that was especially designed for his Excellency's future partner engagement banquet. His cufflinks were a unique one of a kind design that fit his calm temperament, but the stone was a fiery ruby that actually contradicts his personality but on him it fit perfectly. He also wore a silver brooch on his left chest. His hair was styled to look casual and elegant with a silver crown inlaid with sapphires on top.

Cielo was wearing a matching suit. His cufflinks were also a unique pair and it was made from warm jade, yet another contrast to personality since he was naturally a very cold individual but none the less it did not violate his appearance since the Emperor of the Supreme realm looked majestic in anything. His hair was braided and decorated with pearls and his crown was also inlaid with jades, and his brooch was also made from jade.

" Ready. I hope our future together will be an everlasting one starting this evening.", Takeshi smiled and interlaced their fingers together. 

The two walked hand in hand and came in front of the huge double doors where the two guards were stationed. The other guardians were waiting for them. All guardians were dressed in their element colors. Their royal attire were all suits and dresses custom made for them. As usual Bianchi was wearing black and Futta brown.

The guardians greeted them and naturally fell in position behind the two. Cielo and Takeshi's entrance was announced by a trumpet inside the hall that was now crowded. " All hail his Excellency Cielo the Emperor of the supreme realm and his Fiancé his highness Takeshi the Rain Prince!"

Applause. Cheer. Music. Falling Confetti.

" Followed by the Royal family of the Supreme realm: Hayato the Storm Prince!"

" Kyoya the Cloud Prince!"

" Lambo the Lightning Prince!"

" Mukuro the Mist Prince!"

" Chrome the Mist Princess!"

" Ryohei the Sun Prince!"

" Futta the Star Prince!"

" Bianchi the Poison Princess!"

More cheers from the crowd in the hall. The hall was a very huge one with floating lanterns and glittering fairy dust falling from the ceiling. It evades falling on objects and so it accumulates on the floor like snow. There were also banners hanging on the walls. The banners had the symbol that represents each kingdoms.

The largest one was the magic circle on a blue banner up on the platform, it represented Cielo the Ruler of the supreme realm, and the magic circle that was found on his body will forever be the symbol of this realm.

From the entrance of the hall to the steps of the platform was a red carpet. This separated the hall into two halves. On one side there was a huge Champagne tower next to a long table filled with foods, desserts, and beverages of all kind. Small tables for five were covered in golden silk table cloth with a jar of floating golden lights, like miniature stars, on each table.

On the other side was an open dance floor. This was a fantasy theme dance floor. The floor had golden ripples whenever it was steeped on like the surface of a golden lake. Golden illusions would form around the pair of dancers.

Up on the platform was a long table set horizontally overlooking the entire hall. There were ten seats in total. These seats belonged to Cielo, Takeshi, Nono, Byakuran, Yuni, Enma, Xanxus, Dino, Aria, and Gamma. Aria and Gamma were specially invited. The seating positions were also specially arranged. From left to right the seating positions were; Yuni, Byakuran, Aria, Gamma, Takeshi, Cielo, Nono, Xanxus, Enma, and Dino. The three couples were seated next to each other.

This table was already set with dishes, wine, and desserts. Each person had their own waiter at this table to serve wine, champagne, and new dishes requested by these leaders. The tables down below were for the guardians and all the guests. The guests were family and friends of Cielo and his guardians. Takeshi's father, Ryohei's sister and her friends, and the children of the orphanage, including Ken and Chikusu who were in charge.

It should be mentioned that the orphanage was relocated to the supreme realm, and the entire boarding school that Ryohei's sister attends. The huge estate with the huge campus, villas, private airstrip, and beautiful sceneries were relocated to the realm and was enclosed in a barrier of mist flames.

Nammimori Academy of Flames was also relocated to a far corner of the realm. The Academy now provides full boarding for all students and they could choose to live in the Supreme realm or go back to the human realm on holidays.

All this was the arrangement between Cielo and the leaders of the Human Kingdoms. He provided protection to the weak and innocent, and civilians of all kingdoms when the war started. Each portal opened in each kingdom could quickly teleport only human civilians, absolutely no demons, from the human realm to the supreme realm.

All preparations were done. Only the oncoming war awaits. And now to start the banquet.

The two protagonists of todays banquet greeted and socialized with all the guests and exchanged gifts before taking their seats. the banquet was in full swing and hour later.

After the main course most people went to the dance floor as the music turned up a beat. Each music lasted for at least three minutes and can lost up to five minutes. At one point a grand Piano appeared and Hayato played a song for the two protagonist in the middle of the dance floor.

After he was done, Cielo and Takeshi sat side by side and played a piece together and won applause from the audience. Everyone toast the two as they completed the piece and stood up. After that everyone got up and started socializing with a champagne or wine glass in hand.

The children were watched over by a few maids of the palace, and the ones that were not yet of age were brought out to a game room inside the castle. Cielo left the hall for a moment and walked to an open balcony that was next to a garden. He was not alone though. With him was the former Queen of the Giglo Nero Kingdom Aria and her husband Gamma.

" I have always meant to ask you, were you the one who saved me from that Necromancer back in England?", Aria inquired. Cielo answered one word," Yes." Aria chuckled lightly, she then asked, " Can you tell me what my mother was like in the years you lived together?"

" Lady Luce was the first Human that I met that insisted on saving a soul that did not want to be saved, or I should say wanted to be saved but had no hoped to be saved, especially by humans."

" She didn't hesitate to give up her life for a stranger, she did the one thing my mother would have done. At that time I mistakenly believe that the person who sold me to Estraneo was my mother, but I was relieved to find out that my real mother died and was not that evil witch."

" Lady Luce died to save me wishing that I was her son, and my real mother died to save me because I was her son, and the woman I thought was my mother was the one who sent me to hell because of her son."

" Lady Luce will forever have a place in my heart.", Cielo answer was sincere and honest.

" Thank you, for telling me this.", Aria smiled at him.

" We should go back.", Gamma told the two. The trio agreed and returned to the hall.
