Hilles City. The Phoenixs Nest.
I was back to the Phoenixs Nest again. It had been ages since I visited. I didnt co back after Lunas mishap. I lost my Luna in this city, and I never thought she could rise from the ashes. When Luna died, I considered the entire city to be my enemy and, thus, never ca back.
Perhaps it was because Luna had been revived that I no longer felt upset when I saw the majestic city. To the contrary, I felt relieved and nostalgic; it was Mommy Elizabeths city, after all. I had a responsibility to visit her.
I caressed the White Deer Kings neck. The White Deer King wagged her head in delight. She went to lick my palm. I had no idea what happened to her, but she was clingier and less violent after the riot in Duargana. I didnt know the reason behind it, but it was a good change, wasnt it?
I headed toward Hilles City at a leisurely pace. Surely, Mom would soon see my white clothing and white steed.
I had yet to see sumr and spring in Hilles City. The last ti I ca was autumn and winter. This ti, the wheat fields were filled with the greenery that gently swayed with the breeze as they enjoyed the flowing water and sunlight. The Southern plains produced the bulk of food. It was impossible to see the ends of the sea of green on my steed.
When I reached the stone path stemming from Hilles City, I heard a sequence of horse hooves rapidly approaching. I smiled then tugged on my horse reins. Three girls in white robes sped over toward . The Valkyries dismounted one after the other upon reaching . They orderly went down on one knee and welcod in their loud voices: Welco ho, Your Majesty.
To be honest, I was slightly disappointed. I thought Nier would be with them to romantically relive our first eting. The three Valkyries who ca to welco were suave and heroic but still couldnt hold a candle to Nier. Niers aura wasnt sothing anyone could possess.
I nodded. Mom didnt co to welco , either, so I presud that she was needed in the Royal Palace. It didnt matter, though.
I followed the path I was familiar with back to the Royal Palace. Hilles City was different to Duargana. Hilles City wasnt as peaceful. The faint sll of sulphur in the air, the loud noises and voices of the dense crowd made it lively. Hilles City was still continuing to grow. The thick city walls were also unable to stop humanitys curiosity and courage. Hilles City would soon need another wall for an outer layer as it developed rapidly.
I had many experiences at the familiar market. The market seed to be livelier in sumr, and a greater variety of things were for sale. With that said, I also noticed there was an individual in a black robe on the auction platform where Luna was sold. He was standing there shouting sothing. It sounded as though it had to do with religion.
Is that their so-called preaching? I wondered.
The church and I had a conflict in the past, but I thought I shouldnt interfere with their activities that were normal.
I saw the golden Long live Your Majesty and majestic eagle. I take that back, it was actually a phoenix Hilles Citys Royal Palaces doors were open for . I arrived at Moms Royal Palace once again. This ti around, I felt a little excited.
After settling the White Deer King, I quickly headed to the outer court. Under normal circumstances, Nier and Daisy would be living in the outer court. I wanted to see Daisy. I was always with Nona and Vera, so it was a little unfair on Daisy. Frankly speaking, I didnt know what I shouldve got my daughter. You telling that her dad isnt enough?
On my way there, I heard all sorts of pleasantly surprised and plain surprised welco ho, Your Majesty salutes. News of my return had yet to be announced in the Royal Palace. I was certain that things were different this ti. I used to be soone they could do with or without, a weakling who just relied on his mother. The status quo was different this ti, nonetheless. I was longer a simple Prince, but the King of the North.
Oh, yeah, I need to apologise to Freya when I get back I realised.
Is this humanitys city? Wow, this place looks totally different to Duargana. Its amazingly splendid. Also, this Royal Palace is much more majestic, enthused the woman in my head.
Whoa! I exclaid.
What is the matter, Your Majesty?
I shook my head with a smile: Nothing, nothing.
Truth be told, I wasnt not used to hearing a voice in my head I guess the woman in my head was very excited. She never saw humanitys lands before, after all.
Hurry, take for a walk. I want to see more unique places. Show the prettier places. Ive never been here. Let see the entire Royal Palace.
If you want to check out the entire Royal Palace, youd need an entire day. I want to hurry over to see my wife and daughter now. I promise to let you get a good look later but not now, though. Dont rush. Well be living here for a long ti anyway.
Well, have it your way. I an, youre in control now. I knew youd never be willing to take around from the beginning, so it doesnt make any difference to .
She didnt sound disappointed; instead, she sounded nonchalant. She seed to know what I wanted to do from the start but just wanted to make a request.
It was quite frightening to know that I had soone in my head I didnt really like the fact that she knew what I was thinking. She stopped speaking; nevertheless, I slow down on purpose to satisfy her request. I also did my best to show her all of the buildings I rembered. She complinted the splendid human structures. I could tell that she was envious of humans who lived in the royal palace. Needless to say, the humans living there might not have agreed with her sentint. Living by Mommy Elizabeths side wasnt necessarily a good thing. You could tell how dangerous she was from the speed at which she switched ladies-in-waiting I didnt ntion that to her, having said that.
What is the matter, Your Majesty, have you forgotten how this place looks after having not co back in a long ti?
Castell
I am honoured that you still rember .
I turned around to et with Castells usual smile. He gave a small bow. With a smile, he then added, Welco ho, Your Majesty!
