481 Arias Misunderstanding (1/2)
Leon glanced at Aria.
Although he knew Aria had been hunting down rats with him in the subterranean space, she was, after all, the last person he saw with Princess Faelyn.
Perhaps, she had some idea where the princess might have gone.
Aria frowned for a moment before she shook her head, ”I last saw Princess Faelyn leaving for the surface with the evacuating elves. I don't know where she is now, but maybe one of the elves would know?”
Shortly after, Princess Thessalia lowered her head to gaze at the crowd around her.
”Does anyone know where the Fifth Princess is?” She asked.
The crowd quickly broke into a heated discussion amongst themselves about the Fifth Princess's whereabouts.
Sometime later, the crowd cleared a path for a female elf carrying a baby.
The person made her way over to Princess Thessalia before she answered, ”The Fifth Princess left me this baby to look after before heading to the crown, Your Highness.”
”I understand. Thank you for the information.” Princess Thessalia nodded before saying, ”I will go look for her now.”
Shortly after Princess Thessalia departed, The female elf cradled the baby gently in her arms and prepared to disappear back into the crowd.
However, Leon suddenly called out, ”Hold on.”
”Can I do something for you, Savior?” The female elf asked eagerly with anticipation.
Leon landed on the ground near the female elf before Aria parted away from him considerately, giving him room to talk with the person carrying the baby.
At the same time, Leon bit speechless at the adoration and reverence he received from the female elf and surrounding elves' gazes.
How was this a simple prophecy from a famous story? It was crazy enough to become a goddamn religion!
Leon shook his head wryly.
”Have you checked if this baby still has any family left?” He inquired.
The female elf was surprised by Leon's question, but she quickly recovered.
”I have, Savior! However, it's rather tricky to determine the baby's family from just the baby's appearance alone. After all, a few families with infants had gone missing when the ground collapsed. Several people have stepped forward, claiming to be the baby's parent.”
”I see…”
Leon rubbed his forehead.
He did not expect the elves to have trouble over this matter. It was good that he had brought the body of the baby's mother with him.
Leon flicked his wrist before the mother's body appeared from his storage space.
”This is the baby's mother. See if you can find the baby's father.”
”So it's Viessa and Haemir's child.” The female elf muttered with surprise, recognizing the person the Savior laid gently onto the ground.
”Yes, Savior! I will definitely—”
”Everyone, please make way! That's my wife and child!”
Shortly after, Haemir made his way through the crowd and dropped to his knees on the ground, hugging the Viessa's cold body while breaking out into tears.
”Viessa!”
The male elf cried.
”Your child, Haemir.” The female elf offered the baby to the male elf.
