Chapter 430 The King's Thought

King Gulben looked at Aurdis with narrowed eyes. His aura lashed out to her making her staggered where she stood.

For a moment, Aurdis regretted her actions because she had said something without thinking too carefully. But then, she realized that what she said wasn't entirely her fault.

That's because in her mind, her father was just an irresponsible king.

"(You better watch your mouth when talking to your father,)" said King Gulben. His tone sounded calm and even, but both Aurdis and Aerchon knew that behind that calmness there was a dangerous wave.

Something that if they force to push it further, then they can't help but have to bear its consequences.

Sometimes many forget the real power of the Elf King because he has been dormant for too long. And then he showed it, Aurdis and Aerchon could only shuddered in fear.

"(Sorry, father. Aurdis has been through a lot and the problems that have happened recently have made her and I nervous.)" Aerchon immediately calmed his father with his words.

The aura released by King Gulben began to dissipate until it finally disappeared completely from the room. Aurdis and Aerchon breathed a sigh of relief.

"(What problem actually happened, that my own daughter, whom I haven't seen for a long time, now wants to come?)" King Gulben asked. noVε-LB-1n

"(It was a matter related to the survival in this world, father,") Aerchon answered his father's question.

King Gulben's brow furrowed at his words. "(Did you just say the survival of this world?)"

Aerchon nodded.

"(So you're saying the whole world is being threatened by this problem, not just the us?)"

"(Yes, father. We have seen for ourselves the signs of the calamity. On our way here we were confronted by a Flamefoul.)"

Hearing Aerchon's reply once again frowned deeply. As if he couldn't believe his ears.

"(I leave our beloved children to you.)"

Now, King Gulben saw for himself how his two children were in front of him with expressions full of pain and struggle. Doesn't that mean he has betrayed his wife's last will?

But, once again, the King turned towards his wife's grave. He still finds it so hard to leave her.

"(I need time to think,)" said King Gulben. "(You two get out of here for now.)"

Hearing that both Aerchon and Aurdis sighed. They almost felt hopeless.

Without saying anything else, Aerchon told Aurdis to get out. Aurdis stomped her feet before walking out ahead of Aerchon.

Aerchon glanced briefly, then shook his head. He came out following Aurdis with drooped shoulders.

King Gulben went to his wife's sacrophagus when his two children were gone and then opened the stone lid. His wife's face is still immortalized in time Magic when she smiles.

But she's not there anymore. Her soul is gone and Gulben knows very well about it. Yet, he couldn't accept the reality.

"(What should I do, Thandis?)" the king muttered beside his wife's body.

Once again her last words rang in Gulben's head. She entrusted their children to him, yet he neglected them like this.

"(So, is that what I should do?)" Gulben asked. A bitter smile appeared on his face. "(Then, let me spend my last time here with you just for a moment. Before I really leave.)"

The Elf King just stared at his wife silently for several minutes. He didn't want to leave her but his children needed him.

So, maybe he is indeed supposed to go to them. Until the time comes for him to get back together with his wife.

King Gulben let out a long sigh. He's been in that position for a long time, he doesn't know exactly for how long. Once he felt he had enough he walked towards the exit of the room.

He stepped out of the building. When he came out, all the Elves who were building camp outside immediately froze and turned to him with shocked expressions.
