"The way others treat you shapes your perception, making you believe that everyone will treat you the sa... until you et soone who proves you wrong and changes your heart," I said while standing on the balcony of the castle, looking at the view of the city.
"Lady Sumi, I'm glad you are alright," Altabet said from behind.
I turned around, looked at him, and replied in a soft tone, "Yes, I am happy to see that you are also fine too."
He stood beside and, with a serious voice, asked, "So who were those people?"
I smiled softly and replied, "Well, you know, they were just pranking like you."
His face showed confusion and shock. "P-prank?" he asked.
"Yes, they were testing how I would react as a ruler," I said with a smile.
He sighed and said, "Well, I can't argue with you."
"The feast was completely ruined though. I was hoping you could enjoy it with us," he said.
I shook my head and replied, "Just by seeing how much the people here believe in was the feast for ."
He smiled and closed his eyes.
I looked up at him and, in a small voice, said, "Oh, by the way, King Altabet, I have a small favor."
He looked at with a curious expression and replied, "A favor?"
"Yes," I replied. "Can I have 30 Fuboko carts with a driver on each?"
As I said that, his eyes widened in shock. "30... carts...!!" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I got so passengers with ," I replied.
After a while, I was standing at the castle gate, and beside was Aurthor. In front of us stood Altabet and Gearor.
"Son, are you sure you want to go with her?" Altabet asked.
Aurthor nodded and, with a smile, replied, "Yes, Father, I want to beco stronger. I want to learn from Miss Sumi, and I want to beco a great ruler... just like her."
Altabet nodded and replied, "I see. If that's your wish, then you shall go. But don't forget that you are still the prince of this kingdom. You are the future of this land—don't forget that."
"Yes, Father, I won't forget. I will beco strong so I can protect them when I beco the king," Aurthor replied with a smile.
Aurthor and I turned around, walking towards the cart in the corner, but suddenly, I stopped and said, "Gearor."
He looked at and replied, "Yes?"
"I might call you for help sotis. Is that okay with you?" I asked.
He smiled, closed his eyes, and replied, "How can I say no to you, Lady Sumi?"
I smiled, opened the door of the cart, and sat inside.
"Alright then, Father, I'm off," Aurthor said as he sat in the driver's seat. Then, we flew forward into the sky. Below, I could see the city filled with people.
After a while, when we crossed the walls of the Stellar Kingdom, I looked outside the window. There was another cart, and the driver was... Bokkon. He looked at with a smile. In his cart, the passengers were the elder elf, Yooto, and two other elves.
Behind us were all 30 other carts filled with elves following behind. We were flying like a flock of birds.
We traveled across the ocean, and after a while, Paradise Garden ca into view.
In the training field, Jekkob and the others were training. Suddenly, he saw the huge number of carts approaching, and his eyes widened in surprise. "What is all this..." he asked in disbelief.
Many other Beastn started looking towards the carts in the sky. The mayor was also on the ground, looking at the carts with a smile on his face.
His mind flashed back to a mory where he was drinking alcohol with so humans and enjoying himself. Then suddenly, my voice spoke in his mind.
(Mayor, are you there?)
(L-Lady Sumi! Yes, I am here, and I wasn't drinking any alcohol!) he replied in panic.
(I want you to do sothing for ,) I said.
(I am bringing so people with . Can you go to the west area and cut the trees there to create a landing area?)
(Huh? So people?) he asked.
(Yes... new mbers of our family,) I said softly.
He smiled and replied, (I see... as you wish, Lady Sumi.)
His smile grew as he saw the huge number of carts.
"Everyone, head west!" Bokkon scread.
All the carts turned and saw a very large flat circular area, big enough to fit all the carts.
First, Aurthor and my cart landed. Then, one by one, the others followed. After a mont, every single cart was on the ground.
Aurthor opened the cart door, and I slowly stepped out. As I looked behind , all the elves were there—so smiling, others with curious expressions.
From the front, Jekkob, the mayor, and many Beastn approached us.
"Wha-... elves?" Jekkob said in confusion.
I looked at them. They were staring at us with confused expressions. I slowly walked towards them and raised my voice.
"Everyone, please welco the new mbers of our Paradise Garden family. These are elves who will be joining us. They didn't have a place to live, so I brought them with ."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing that, but suddenly, they burst into cheers and joy, starting to talk with each other.
I looked behind , and the elves were watching .
"Welco to the family," I said with a smile.
The elves' faces glowed with happiness, and so of them even burst into tears.
Jekkob was still in shock, but he smiled and said, "You truly are sothing else."
The Beastn and elves started talking with each other. They went to see the village and farms, and so even took the elves to my church, where the elves joined in worship.
I took the mayor, the elder elf, and so others aside and said, "This forest is all yours. You guys make houses in trees, so I thought this place would be good. There is a big lake over there where you can make farms, and the trees are strong, so no need to worry about them breaking."
Suddenly, Bokkon called from afar. I looked at him and started walking towards him.
"Now I understand why you guys call her the Heaven God and care about her," the elder elf said while looking at the mayor.
The mayor looked at him and, with a smile, replied, "Yes... she also accepted us as family, just like you guys. We also know how it feels to lose our hos and friends..... This place is what we call ho."
The elder elf smiled and extended his hand for a handshake. "My na is Zeon. I am the elder of the elves."
The mayor also raised his hand for a handshake and replied, "My na is Fareo. I am the mayor of the Beastn. It's nice to et you."
They both shared a smile, and Fareo said, "Let's get along."
Zeon nodded his head and replied, "Yeah."
