Chapter 198:
Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
Its amazing that barely even a week ago, Arceana and Elincia both tried to have killed. Elincia's attempt was more personal and understanding in nature, but it still was on my mind. Even though I understood why she did it, part of was actually sowhat hurt from their actions. I know they're not the sa girls they used to be when I trained them, but there were tis I missed it.
I realized that as I sat down next to the bed where Typhon laid unconscious. "Here we are again..."
There was a knock from my front door that got to groan. Standing, I made my way to the entryway before answering the door. The magic signatures on the other side were all green so I assud it was Elves. It's always Elves... Until it isn't.
"This is a surprise." I said simply. "I wasn't expecting you today, Aydalia."
She smiled. "A good surprise, I hope?" Her tone was nervous as she watched my eyes dart around the group.
Aien, her husband, was with her. He wasn't an issue since I already knew who he was, and I assud he was here to apologize for his prior behavior or sothing along those lines. So, instead, my focus was on the other two Elves who were present. I'd never t them before, but I imdiately knew they were nobility.
One was a male with white hair, but it didn't appear to be from age. He looked sowhat young, had several jewels adorning his body, and was wearing a nobleman's white robes. His eyes were a rather vibrant deep blue.
"That remains to be seen." I stated as my gaze drifted to the other female Elf.
She was rather different compared to the other Elves I had seen. Dark black hair that made rember the cloaked High Elf that cos to visit periodically. My eyes fell on hers which were a dark brown and seed to sparkle. Her ears were pieced with several earrings and her neck and wrists were adorned with gold. Much like the male, she also wore white robes.
Papa Farro stepped forward. "May we co inside? There are a few things we would like to discuss with you." He then gave a small bow. "And apologies that must be made."
Quirking a brow as my attention turned to Aydalia, she nodded at with a smile. "Very well. Co in, but please be quiet. My squire is injured and resting upstairs."
They all ca into the entryway, but Aien and Aydalia were alard. "Typhon is hurt?!" Aydalia said in concern.
"Broke both of his arms during training." I inford them with crossed arms. "Can't believe he did that just to get so manner of reward." I explained the situation.
"And he was able to cleave the tree in two?" Aien let out an impressed whistle when I nodded. "A mber of the Dragon Clans, indeed."
Aydalia smacked him. "Why hasn't he been healed yet?"
Sighing, I answered. "Because there is a difference between pushing yourself to your limits and injuring yourself for going far beyond them. Ty needs to learn that his actions have consequences. If he starts training outside of my sessions and he does this again, no one will be around to help him."
Papa Farro nodded in agreent. "That will be an invaluable lesson for him. So pain should keep him more grounded."
"He's a boy that's going to make mistakes!" Aydalia said firmly to both of us. "Clearly, Typhon has sothing in mind, but that doesn't an he should be punished for completing the training you gave him!" Clearly, she wasn't happy.
"Ty isn't being punished. He will be healed after he sees what he did to his own arms. Do you want him to continually do this to himself?" She opened her mouth to reply quickly but closed it after a mont. "I thought not." Turning from her, my eyes focused on the two smirking Elves that were holding hands with one another. "And since you two have been waiting patiently..."
The male gave a small bow. "I am Drewes Leiflan. This is my wife, Luthi Leiflan."
I studied them for another mont as they stood and smiled at . Both were rather attractive. More so than most other Elves. Elves were known for being fair, but these two made most others seem like half breeds. Their frails features made the two almost seem like they were made of porcelain. The new husband and wife combo were also rather powerful compared to other Elves if their magic was anything to go by. Well, they had a lot of magic that was comparable to Ayda. Whether they were as strong was another matter altogether.
Returning their small bow with one of my own, I replied. "Arthur Pendragon. May I ask why all four of you are here?"
"We have heard that you are the one making all the changes in the Lowest Rung." Drewes stated.
My eyes darted to Aydalia. "Perhaps."
Aien stepped in-between us and held up his hands. "Before we begin, I would like to apologize to Sir Arthur." Drewes and Luthi both nodded as he turned to . "I owe you an apology. My fear as a father made act rashly against you. Your motives were unclear to , and I acted overly aggressively."
"You slit my throat." I comnted, which made both Drewes and Luthi look at Aien in surprise. "Then again, I sort of assisted you with that. So, no hard feelings. As I said before, you have nothing to fear from ."
"Aydalia has told the sa..." He then bowed. "Please, if there is anything I can do to make this right with you, do not hesitate to tell . I know Aydalia has reached out to you, and you've answered so of her questions... I have none, but I ask that you continue to watch over my family."
"Your wife is sharper than I gave her credit." I said as I eyed her with a sideways glance. "If you're so sure I will not harm you, then she must've told you sothing. I suggest keeping certain things to yourself." My statent was directed towards Aydalia and Aien as I looked at Drewes and his wife.
The white-haired Elf smirked. "I have been inford of no such matter, and as interesting as it sounds, I am here for other reasons."
My eyes darted back to Mama and Papa Farro before I turned back at the two newcors. "Then I suppose we should move on." Moving towards the living room, I gestured for the group to follow . "We should be more comfortable in here."
