Chapter 56
- Elena and Elion made their way out of their shared room. Elion knocked at Forest's door, and when he didn't answer for some time, they surmised that he was sleeping. Forest slept like the dead whenever he was tired. They decided to find something to eat and perhaps remain some for Forest. As they made their way downstairs, they passed some people who came from the upper floor, and we're heading downstairs, and some who came from downstairs, and we're heading upstairs. The environment was gay. Everyone was happy. Especially those who were taken out of their homeland don't look like they would trade anything to go back.
- They reached the reception hall, and Elena asked the female who sat there where they could find some food. Elion's eyes were taking in their surrounding. Either she was looking for something suspicious or admiring its beauty. Elena thought it was both. Since they had come here, they had both taken their bath and rested. Well, Elena did. She was so stressed out she could barely open her eyes for another second. When she woke up, she saw Elion wide awake. It was apparent that she didn't sleep. Once she noticed that Elena was awake, she started making plans to leave.
- Elena had looked at her funny. She didn't understand why she was so worked up. The warrior had already promised to take them back should they wish it. Elena would love to go back, but her adventurous spirit would not let her rest till she had scoured through every beautiful area of the blood kingdom. She told Elion precisely that. The woman frowned, extreme disappointment radiating from her. Not wanting then to argue or talk anymore about the topic, Elena said to her that she was hungry. She asked Elion to follow her if she was too so that they both could find something to eat. Surprisingly, she agreed. They found themselves in a huge room, the scent of different kinds of food permeating the environment. As a cook herself, Elena was surprised at the mouth-watering dishes shared in the room. She didn't even know when she headed to the serving table, and upon seeing the different dishes laid out there, Elena had to suck in a gasp. It was heavenly. She could recognize some of the food, as she had cooked some herself, while she didn't know the rest. One of the waiters told her that all the dishes they served were from the four kingdoms, and they were made possible thanks to the Blood king. Elena had to admit, the more she saw all these, the more she liked the blood king. She took a bit out of every dish and walked to the seat Elion had saved for her, a grin playing on her face. Once she sat down, she noticed that Elion was frowning at her and that she hadn't taken any food for herself.
