Chapter 258 - Return To Ishgar {34} Paradise Island, Part III (1/2)

Aurora was approaching the mountain and the group had an uninterrupted view of the castle and its beautiful garden. Sherria in all her glory and happiness stood beside Amell on Aurora's head and gazed at the castle. Amell had to calm down the Overlord as she had been close to throwing Sherria off when she climbed onto her head.

While she was admiring the castle, she leaned in against Amell's arm with a sigh of jealousy. ”Is this really your home? It's soooo beautiful!”

”It is! Though I didn't build this, Alora did. While I was away on my long journey, she fixed this place up a little.”

”Alora? She is your right hand, right? Is she strong?”

Aurora slightly shook her head, if Sherria wasn't holding onto Amell's arm she might have been flung off her head. ”Silly child. Lady Alora could most likely take on all Overlords and still come out on top. I aspire to be just like her one day.” You could hear the sincerity in her voice.

”Why? What's so different between you Overlords and her?” Sherria crawled forward and leaned right over Aurora's right eye. Aurora's eye was larger than Sherria's whole body.

”Alora was the first Overlord. She was also the first one to step upon God's mountain, and now she lives there. That, naive girl, is my aspiration as well. I wish to live upon God's mountain someday.”

”You're really intelligent, Aurora,” Jellal said and walked up on her head with his hands in his pockets. ”Are the other beasts, except for the Overlords this intelligent? Can they all speak like you? Do they have goals and dreams they wish to achieve?” He showed an entirely new level of respect now when he had learned just how intelligent Aurora was.

”Of course. How do you think I became an Overlord. Together with Lady Alora, there were four others before us. I killed one of them and took that position. After me came Leo, and not far after that, came the others. All previous Overlords has been replaced by us.”

”That's incredible. Do you get challenged for your position a lot?”

”I used to be. Not anymore. I have my lieutenants to take care of all those that come for my head. I can't be bothered by that. The only one that I have fought seriously in a long time is Young master Gildarts. And, the other Overlords from time to time.”

”Aurora!” Amell finally intervened. ”I do not remember permitting to talk about him.” Aurora panicked and her heart started beating a lot faster. The ones sitting on her back could feel the beats of her heart speeding up.

”I apologize, Lord Amell! I did not mean to cause harm to you or the Young master!”

”It's okay. Be more careful in the future or that Overlord position you're proud of might be taken away. I take my children's safety seriously!”

”Your children? Are you a father, grandpa? I feel betrayed!” Sherria ran up to him again and hugged his arm with her puppy eyes.

”I am! You might even meet Gildarts one day. He is an active wizard.”

”Gildarts?... Wait, you don't mean Fairy Tail's Gildarts, do you?” Sherria was getting excited and she looked on in anticipation for his answer. Amell became almost as excited from the idea of his son being a recognized wizard.

”Yes, that's my son! So, he's a little famous is he.” Amell said and performed a short fist pump with a smirk.

”YEAH! GILDARTS IS YOUR SON! WHAAAT!!” Sherria had at this point had so many loud and explosive outbursts for all kinds of reasons that none reacted to it anymore.
