Chapter 18

After the days of travelling, We were finally able to return to the base... Everyone that took me in, has shown gladness and relief to our safe return. The children rushed towards us and jump on us... hoping to be catch and be embraced //chuckle// .

"Big Brother Kaishin!"

"Sis Comil!"

"Lady Rigelle!"

"Fisel!!!"

"Uncle Aton!"

Various voices of the children were heard to be shouting our names... as everyone finished their turn to call on us, everyone greeted us warmly of...

"Welcome Back"

Shortly afterwards... The ones who are training outside in the forest, joined us afterwards... We had a feast that night.

Everyone bought the animals they caught when they were practicing at using the weapons that they chose to use. As everyone helps at cooking for the dinner, Kaishin, Me, and A guy named Rad who was left in charge; Had a report-hearing on regards to what happened in the base when we were gone.

"A man named Huryl came with a painter... Looking for a person who knows of you guys... He even had the painter with him to paint a portrait of a man who looks like a demo-//cough// i mean Kaishin and Lady Rigelle... I've led them here... did i make the right move?" Rad reported and asked for our thoughts.

"No... It is okay. They are special persons that are going to join us. Call them here." I said

Shortly after my command, Rad left the room to call for Huryl and the painter i asked him to come...

"Hey Kaishin... I think that I've forgotten to tell Baron Jibel of the address of our base so that he could bring support on us..." I said as i stood up with a shook face.

Kaishin stared at me as he seems to be trying to think of an answer...

The two of us just stood there and stared blankly until Rad came with mister Huryl and the said painter...

The painter was a young girl who introduced herself as "Elvy"

Just by looking at that girl and hearing her name... i could tell who she is... She was the daughter of a maid who once took care of me as a child... That maid talked about her daughter who was a year younger than me and said that her daughter looked a lot like her. Elvy looked a lot like her mother... The spitting image of her mother if i say.

"Wait...You are Lady Rigelle...!!!" Elvy looked surprised as she saw me...

"Uhm... My mother was a made who took care of you in your childhood... If you look at me... You might remember her?..." Elvy says as she fidgets

"Yes. You are the spitting image of your mother indeed... of course i remember! i am very thankful to your mother... She protected me when the war was going on... There... She always talk proudly of you and how gifted you are. I've always wanted to find you and apologize for making your mother lost her life in protecting me..." I said as i held both of her hands...

As she heard how her mother cared for her and my apology... She knelt down before me and started to apologize for unknown reasons....

"Lady Rigelle...I've always hated you for taking away all the moments my mother had spent to you and for her lost life because of protecting you... I've always thought that my mother who cared for you, didn't care for her at all... and saw her as nothing more than a shield who could take the bullet for you..." She said...

(Boys who are watching the drama go on is having their own live reaction...)

Huryl: These lads knew of each other???

Kaishin: I think so...

Rad: Hey Kaishin... How long do you think this drama will last?

Kaishin: The hell i know!

(Back to the Girls...)

They finally resolved in some past issues and is moving on to the matter of why Rigelle asked for a painter.

"Elvy... i want you to make a copy of the map of the kingdom and the marks written on it... make me some fifteen copies of it would you?" i asked of her...

"My pleasure!" Elvy answered

"Mister Huryl and Elvy... join us for dinner and then let's discuss the share of equipment and food share in to your base. We plan to make you guys and your place to be an extension of our base. " I said
