A few more days passed after the forging duel and everything returned to normal.
The anti human faction and Drogath seemed to disappear from the capital, so everything was peaceful.
I spent more time teaching more dwarves about alloys and runes.
This time, the Dwarven King had even brought dwarves from outside the castle to learn from me.
These were the judges that had presided over the forging duel.
The Dwarven King had kept his promise about bringing them in to learn about runes from me.
As for the price, it was one that made Haley satisfied.
But the dwarves didn't feel any pain since they were just excited to learn from me.
So I had more students learning from me during this time.
The other change that happened was that Elsa spent her time in the castle now, but that wasn't strange since she was now divorced. It wasn't as if she could just go to her old home since that was where Drogath was.
So she moved into the castle with the Dwarven King who was her big brother.
She spent most of her time with Haley, which was surprising.
But it was good to see that she wasn't too hung up over her divorce and was having fun spending time with her.
The Dwarven King was also happy to see this.
Everything seemed to be going well.
However, one night, I suddenly said...
"It's time for us to leave."
The ones that were gathered in the room with me were those that had followed me to the Dwarven Kingdom in the first place.
This was the group that included Haley, Shaka, Veronica, and Moon.
They were all surprised that I would suddenly say this, but slowly they nodded in agreement.n()o)-v))e/.L))b/.I)/n
We had already accomplished our goals in coming to this Dwarven Kingdom and there was no longer a need for us to stay any longer. We had already prepared everything for the ore trade, so all that was left was going back and preparing people for that trade.
So it was actually bad for us to stay any longer since all that would do is delay this ore trade.
They all recognized this, so Haley asked, "When should we leave?"
I thought about it before saying, "Let's leave in two days."
"Two days?" They all repeated with concerned looks.
It wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but they were worried about something.
They had been invited here by the Dwarven King and they didn't know how he would react if they suddenly said that they were leaving.
I knew what they were worried about, but I knew what kind of personality the Dwarven King had after interacting with him for this long.
I knew that he wouldn't try to stop us if we left.
So I said, "Don't worry, let me talk to him. I'm sure that he'll be fine with it."
There were doubtful looks on their faces, but they didn't say anything as they decided to trust me.
It was true that I had a close relationship with the Dwarven King.
...
In a different part of the castle.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" The Dwarven King said in a calm voice.
When Elsa heard this, she couldn't help looking surprised.
After a long silence, she lowered her head and asked, "How did you know?"
The Dwarven King revealed a smile as he said, "I'm your brother, do you really think I wouldn't know what you are thinking? I can see the way that you were looking at him."
Elsa's face turned red and she lowered her head even more when she heard this.
She also reached a hand up and lightly punched the Dwarven King in the chest.
The Dwarven King just revealed a faint smile when he saw this, but then he asked, "So how are you going to do this?"
Elsa revealed a lost look when she heard this before shaking her head and saying, "I don't know."
Even if she had come to accept her feelings over the past few days, she had no idea how to act on them.
After all, there was a large barrier between them.
Not only was he married, he was also of a completely different race.
Could things work between humans and dwarves?
It was a hard question that no one had an answer for.
The Dwarven King could see the look on her face and he felt sympathy for her.
But he accepted her regardless of what her choice was and he would do all he could to help her.
Because she was his little sister.
With a sigh, he said, "If you don't mind, I actually have something that you can do for me. I think that it'll help solve your problem."
Elsa was surprised when she heard this and she looked up at him with a curious look.
The Dwarven King said with a smile, "I'm looking for an ambassador to send to the human country. Since we will be engaging in trade with them in the future, it will be a good idea to learn from them and see the differences between our two races. That way, we will be able to work together better in the future."
Elsa just gave an empty nod before saying, "Oh."
She really didn't understand why her brother was mentioning this.
The smile on the Dwarven King's face became wider when he saw this reaction from her.
Then he said in a meaningful voice, "The ambassador will be following Zwein and his group back. They will be going with Zwein to see human culture, if you know what I mean."
Slowly, a look of understanding appeared on Elsa's face.
She looked at the Dwarven King with wide eyes and said, "Really? You're letting me go?"
The Dwarven King said with a wide smile, "You're the Dwarven King's little sister, I think that has some meaning in human society. You could even be considered a princess for our kingdom by their standards."
Elsa gave a nod, but then she said in a soft voice, "Thank you."
The Dwarven King patted her head with the same wide smile.
This was his little sister and he would do what he needed to do for her.
That was the vow that he had made all those years ago.
Though the other person who had made that vow had already broken it...
