524 THE CALL
"Your Majesty," he greeted, "have you been well?"
A long shiny silver hair glistened from the throne. The owner of the attractive hair looked down at the visitor.
"My son," he said, "you did a great job bringing our Great Dragon's blood back to our land. She belongs here. You made proud."
Urulas lowered his head. "I thank you, Your Majesty." He licked his lips and added, "However, Veronica didn't co here to stay."
A subtle crease ford on the space between the eyebrows of the dignified Elven King.
"What do you an to say?" he demanded.
Urulas could feel his heart was shaking.
"My King, she is very much happy in the Human Realm."
"Son, you don't an that she will live better in the Human Realm than here."
"I firmly believe that she will have the best life here in this land. She belongs here. However, she will be the happiest if she lives there."
"…"
The Elven King stared at him while hiding his thoughts.
Urulas waited patiently.
A mont later, the Elven King asked, "What made you think she would be the happiest there?"
"She… is married there."
Slam!
The left wooden handle of the throne broke from the strong force that ca from the Elven King's hand.
"She is creating a family in the Human Realm with another human?"
"Yes… My King…"
"Ridiculous," the Elven King declared.
Urulas was amazed that his father was able to control his voice. Elves were known for their mild temperant. They show their anger only through action. Even so, Urulas was worried about his father bursting out in anger since not having Veronica in the Elvish Realm would be a great loss. It wasn't often that a blessed child would be born. Even if they were born, they would co to the Elvish Realm because it was the safest place for them. It would be humiliating for the Elven King if Veronica would be happier in the Human Realm than here. Didn't that make him a bad host?
The Elven King calmly inquired, "Which human she is married to? Get him here."
'This is bad,' Urulas thought.
"He… is the Master of the Magic Tower," he revealed.
There was a long silence.
Urulas was waiting when he heard, "I want to et the carrier of the Great Dragon's blood. Send her in tomorrow."
"…Yes, Your Majesty," Urulas bowed and then left.
'That was unexpected,' he thought.
He went straight to Veronica's place but he found the house empty. Then, he went to his place and spotted her with Ovior.
"Urulas, you are finally here," Veronica saw him and spoke. "I was going to ask you sothing. I think we should take Ovior to the palace when I go to et him."
Urulas elegantly sat on a chair and replied, "That's not possible. He sought an audience with you but I ask you to be level-headed when you et him."
Veronica beca alert and asked, "Did sothing happen?"
"He asked whom you married to the point you wanted to live in the Human Realm, I answered him truthfully. He… doesn't like people who break the tabu."
"The tabu is the blessed child marrying the magician," Ovior concluded.
He could guess easily since he watched the elves showing vigilance when they found out Veronica was married to a magician. He looked at Veronica and told her, "The King might try to stop you from leaving this place. What will you do?"
Veronica frowned.
"I don't like being forced," she replied. "I don't think he will do sothing like this either. It's not that I trust him. I will et him and try to find out what he is thinking. Truthfully, my personal life is none of his business."
"Well said."
At night, Veronica went back to her room and used the communication magic stone to call for Arthur.
Arthur almost answered imdiately. "Nica." He was relieved to see her face and smiled at her.
"Have you been well?" he eagerly asked.
Veronica stared at his face that popped out of the magical stone and replied softly, "I am. How have you been?"
"Busy," Arthur's voice carried frustration. "Ovior left tons of work."
"Now you know how he felt," Veronica chuckled. "He is enjoying his vacation."
"I want to be jealous but I'm not."
"You shouldn't. He deserves his break and you need to work."
"Are things going well in your end?"
"I…don't know. I haven't t their King yet. He found out that I'm married to you. Urulas is worried that sothing might happen."
Arthur stayed silent for so ti and then asked, "Do you want to gather the army?"
Veronica knitted her eyebrows.
"We can't do that," she replied. "The magicians are yet to recover completely. I've healed them physically, that's true but think about their ntal health. "They are not ready for another war, Arthur. We won't be able to win against the elves like that. I don't even want a war against them. "We need to show them that you are not a threat to . I will do my very best to persuade him."
Arthur pondered after what she said.
"Call for if anything happens," he said. "I'll co to get you as soon as I get a signal from you."
"I will do that."
"Has Ovior's identity beco exposed?"
"How do you know? Did Ovior contact you?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate them. You have seen them fighting, did you not?"
Veronica beca quiet after realizing her stupidity.
She rubbed her temple and said, "I will go to bed. I'm tired. You need to sleep too. Rest properly. Don't overwork like Ovior."
"I won't."
"And Arthur?"
"What is it?"
"I love you."
The confession ca from the bottom of her heart. It hadn't been a week. Nonetheless, she missed him terribly.
Arthur was stunned. It wasn't easy for Veronica to confess. He knew it and he also knew that she wouldn't always express her emotions so verbally.
His heart softened like the soil that got the touch of rainfall.
He softly uttered, "I love you more."
Veronica stared at his face intently with a beautiful and satisfied smile hanging on her lips.
She replied back, "I love you most."
------
The next day, Veronica faced the Elven King.
Everyone might be wondering what am I doing when I have sumr vacation.
Working 9 am to 9 pm, also with the ntqal patient. When I go ho, I just die without setting the alarm. I also moved to another house while working. Working for 2 weeks without a break.
Finally, today 25 June 2023, my eyes lost their innocence as I saw penis for the first ti in my life (directly). I thought I might start laughing or say 'eww' in disgust but I was too busy cleaning poop so didn't think of it much. I need to tell my office that I don't want to work for male patients. Working as a CareGiver sure is a tough job.
