Chapter 1035 I Wish I Could Stay Like This Forever
“Sir Lux!” an adorable Dwarf jumped toward Lux as soon as she saw the Half-Elf walking down one of the hallways of the Royal Palace.
The Half-Elf didn’t hesitate to catch Princess Anastasia, whom he hadn’t seen for quite a while.
“A princess shouldn’t jump at her father’s guest as soon as she sees them,” Lux said before lightly patting the head of the little Dwarf who had clung to him like a koala. “Be mindful of your surroundings, and don’t act in this manner if you are in a place with many people.”
“The reason why I did this is because there are no people around.” Princess Anastasia pouted. “Can’t you see that the hallway is deserted? I made sure that no one would interrupt my reunion with you, Sir Lux.”
Millie and Megan, who were Princess Anastasia’s two protectors, couldn’t help but cover their faces in embarrassment.
They were the people who responsibly instructed the maids and guards to steer clear of this particular hallway, knowing that something might happen when they personally welcomed Lux’s arrival.
The two were right, but they just didn’t expect their Princess to act in a way that was unbecoming of a member of the Royal Family.
‘Fortunately, we made sure that no one would be around this hallway,’ Millie thought. ‘If not, this would become the greatest scandal of this kingdom.’
Millie knew that Princess Anastasia had liked Lux ever since the Half-Elf had rescued her from the members of Twilight Rain.
However, she also understood that this might just be the Princess’ “puppy love” phase, which would disappear as she grew older.
Millie thought that the longer the Princess didn’t see Lux, the faster her feelings for him would disappear.
But what she didn’t know was that the Princess was only bottling up her feelings during the times when she couldn’t meet her savior.
“Hah… you smell good, Sir Lux,” Princess Anastasia buried her head in Lux’s chest and sighed in happiness. “I wish I could stay like this forever.”
Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus looked at the red-headed teenager with complicated looks on their faces.
“Um, are we going to meet the King or not?” Cai lightly nudged Lux, who was still patting the head of the little Dwarf, who had no intention of letting him go.
“We will meet with the King,” Lux replied. “Princess, please calm down so that I can meet your father. I need to talk to him about something very important.”
“Is this about Twilight Rain?” Princess Anastasia asked in a heartbeat. “Are you going to join the battle?”
Lux nodded. “That’s the reason why I am here.”
Princess Anastasia sighed in her heart, and reluctantly let go of the Half-Elf.
However, she wanted to stay with him a bit longer, so she held his hand and pulled him towards the throne room with a smile.
“It seems that you still know what to prioritize, Princess,” Cai commented as she walked beside Lux.
“Of course,” Princess Anastasia replied. “Since Sir Lux has come here to help our kingdom defeat that terrorist organization, I will not get in his way. The faster they get destroyed, the better.”
“It seems that you still carry a grudge since the kidnapping incident,” Cai commented.
“Of course,” Princess Anastasia smirked. “I’ve had a hard time sleeping peacefully knowing that my kidnappers are still at large. How about you? Do you still carry a grudge as well?”
“I do,” Cai answered. “And this time, I will repay them in full.”
The two smiled evilly at each other.
Both of them agreed that Twilight Rain didn’t need to exist in the Kingdom of Gweliven.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the Gates of the Throne Room.
Princess Anastasia reluctantly let go of the Half-Elf’s hand and fixed her dress to ensure that she would look presentable in front of her father.
Once she was sure that she had smoothed out the wrinkles in her dress, she nodded at Millie and Megan, who pushed the doors open.
Princess Anastasia entered the throne room with the grace and dignity befitting a member of the Royal Family.
“Your Majesty, I have brought our guest,” Princess Anastasia announced, making her father smile.
“You did well, Anastasia,” King Uther Von Gweliven, said with a smile. “It has been a while, Lux. I hope that you’re doing well?”
“I am well, Your Majesty,” Lux gave King Uther a respectful bow.
Although he had the power to single-handedly trample the Kingdom of Gweliven if he wanted to, the Dwarven Royal Family had done many good things for him in the past.
Since that was the case, he would give them the respect they deserved as one of the Kingdoms, which Lux was very fond of.
“I can tell that you have grown stronger as well.” King Uther nodded his head in satisfaction.
The Dwarven King was a Saint, so he could easily gauge Lux’s Rank with a single glance.
However, something was telling him that, despite the Half-Elf’s rank being lower than his, the young man was more dangerous than him.
This feeling surprised him, but he was old enough to believe what his gut instinct was telling him.
“Nevreal told me that you wish to join the war against Twilight Rain,” King Uther said. “Do you want the latest information about the battle?
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Lux replied. “I want to know everything about them.”
King Uther nodded and explained that the all-out war was heating up.
They had discovered the main headquarters of Twilight Rain, which was located deep underground.
However, their enemies had plenty of tricks up their sleeves, including an army of mutated Monsters, which seemed to be under their control.
“After the most recent clash, our forces have made a strategic retreat a mile away from their Main Headquarters,” King Uther explained. “The battle is taking place at the base of Mount Forberg on the Northern edge of the Kingdom.
“According to our reports, the Monsters were at the peak of the Empyrean Rank. The members of the Order are keeping them at bay for the time being. Our two Saints are also on standby, and ready to assist.
“The only reason why they still hadn’t made their move is because they are wary of the Saints of Twilight Rain. According to our information, Twilight Rain has two Saints among their Ranks, which includes their Leader.
“Of course, there is a possibility that they have more than two Saints. Knowing this, I have sent more reinforcements to the battlefield. Nevreal will be departing shortly, so if you would like, you can go with him to reach your destination faster.”
Lux nodded and gratefully accepted King Uther’s suggestion.
If it was him a year ago, he might have been worried that their enemies had several Saints among their Ranks.
But now, Lux no longer cared how many Saints there were.
In fact, he even wished they had more.
The more Saints they had, the more subordinates he could obtain.
He also wanted to make the Guild Master of Twilight Rain regret the day that he had targeted Lux.
Cai and Princess Anastasia were not the only ones who liked to carry a grudge.
Lux was just as petty as them.
After talking for nearly half an hour, the Half-Elf joined Nevreal’s army.
They wouldn’t be traveling on foot. Instead, they would use the one-way teleportation gate that they especially constructed in preparation for this all-out battle against Twilight Rain.
Truth be told, Nevreal was worried that Lux might be killed when the Saints of Twilight Rain finally joined the battle.
He wasn’t aware that the Half-Elf, who had an evil grin plastered on his face, would be the key that would end the three-decade-long conflict between Twilight Rain and the Kingdom of Gweliven once and for all.
