Chapter 928 Going Back To The Capital

-----

"It has truly been a few years since we've come here again." "Certainly... The place's unchanged as usual- Oh? No, there's a few more houses and inns. Buildings feel larger? Looks like my brother hasn't slacked all that much!"

Two heroes flew across the skies as they moved towards the capital as fast as possible. Shade and Arafunn had been friends since they meet one another, and although they were very different, such differences complemented one another, and they could be pretty alright when just alone between the two. nove.lB/In

Though, at the end of the day, Arafunn knew that Shade's best friend is Allan, who was like his sworn brother, the two, as much as they liked to pretend they didn't, were inseparable comrades, friends, and brothers.

"Perhaps your brother has decided to change things. These buildings... Look like they're to house more tourists?" Wondered Shade.

"Indeed!" Arafunn laughed. "And there's way more ships on the docks too! Oh?!"

"What?" Shade wondered, as Arafunn suddenly saw something and heard something else.

"T-There's a lot of new people coming into the city! Bringing forth goodies from their countries. Demons, dwarves, humans! Oh my, looks like my brother has opened the frontiers again? After having closed them from other countries back in the War, he finally opened them again!" Laughed Arafunn.

"Wait, what?!" Shade was shocked. "Is this alright?! This also has its risks... If there's some terrorist attack or something..."

"Nah, don't worry about those things now!" Laughed Arafunn. "All's fine. We have to trust the people too! And well, there's now an even more extensive and thorough security than ever before, everyone's double, triple, quadruple checked before entering our lands... Most of these security groups are led by strong veteran magicians, nothing can sneak past their senses."

"Well... I sure hope so." Shade sighed. "If things can be different then... I'm all for it." He smiled faintly beneath his black coat. "I'm glad there are some Demon Countries willing to make trading with us even after everything..."

The enormous castle gates opened wide, as we made our way through an enormous and majestic hall, decorated thoroughly with silver and golden linings, many paintings, statues, and many other things.

There were maidservants and manservants wandering everywhere to get things tidied up for the large celebration party, and there were also many squadrons of knights wandering around, making sure things were safe.

Once we entered the last hall, which was also a huge red gate, we finally found ourselves back to where everything started... Or well, where things started once I landed on this country.

Where I meet my grandfather for the first time, and where I also meet the rest of the family... which was a rather bad experience, if I have to be honest.

But I'm trying to be positive right now!

"Hmm..."

The entire hall fell into silence the moment we stepped in. And there he was, grandfather sat down over his throne, the mountain of a man, with an enormously tall, huge, muscular body, wearing his golden armor, and his huge crown decorated with many colorful jewels.

He had a short, gray bear, with long gray hair growing all the way below his huge shoulders, his sharp green eyes suddenly changing color to become golden as he seemed to analyze me with a similar power I have! Wait, did he get the same Divine Protection I did?!

And of course, to his right side was the much smaller throne of the Queen, my grandmother, who was smiling happily and cheerfully, with an aura of relaxation and calmness, a complete contrast to my grandfather.

"Greetings father, we've arrived." My mother said, kneeling before her father, and so we did all, remaining in silence until asked to speak. "Welcome my dear daughter, and her big family. And of course, her many friends and companions. You've been called today for a special occasion. I've learned about your great feats, and about how you protected our country when nobody else could." The King went to the point right away. "You've done something that many would had never been capable of. And for that, I felt the necessity to call you here, to celebrate your victory, and to show you... How proud I am of all of you."

"E-Eh? Ah, I-I see..." Mom was taken aback by grandfather's honesty. He certainly seemed different than before...
