8 Royal guest

The sight that is revealed to them is pretty funny. A tall man is standing in front of a small stool with an elf fully armored stopping him from moving forward. All other armored elves are standing in defensive stances pointing their glaives toward them. Another figure that is staring holes through them. "Well this is a warm welcome." Ben says sarcastically.

Luna giggles inside his arms. She has her head on his shoulder and hands on his chest. 'This feels nice. I feel so protected.' Luna thinks 'No, hey! Luna you what are you doing. You don't know him. He is a stranger.' With that last thought she asks Ben. "Hey Ben? Could you let me go?" Ben looks down to Luna and can't help but be captivated by her eyes that are looking up to him.

"Ahem." They hear a loud cough. Both Luna and Ben snap out of their trance and let go of each other. Both their cheeks start to warm up. "Guards capture him and take him with us for interrogation." A smooth voice is heard. It was the crown prince that gave the command. The royal guards advanced forward. Ben took a defensive stance.

"What? No don't do that he is a friend." Luna exclaims. "Stop." A loud and low voice commands. The royal guards freeze. "What is the meaning of this?" The voice of the king is directed to the crown prince. "That boy is unfamiliar, he could be a spy from the demons." The crown prince says. The king shakes his head. He stares at the guard who is holding him back.

The guard steps back and bows. The king walks to Luna and Ben. "This boy must mean a lot to you when you choose to defend this young man instead of running to your old man." The king says to Luna with a goofy smile on his normally stern face. Luna also starts to smile and throws herself into the embrace of her father.

"I've missed you my little princess, it has been a year." The king whispers inside the ears of his daughter. "I missed you too dad. Although for me it has been only a few days." Luna says. Luna's father laughs and finally turns his gaze to Ben, who already stopped being wary.

"And who are you?" The king asks Ben. "I am Ben. It is nice to meet you, sir." Ben replies while stepping forward and extending his hand towards the tall man, who is still holding Luna in his embrace. The king lets his daughter go and takes a step forward too and stares at Ben's hand. Luna who stands to the side sees this and asks Ben.

"What are you doing?" A frown appears on the face of Ben. "What do you mean? It is normal courtesy to shake hands when you introduce yourself." Ben says. Luna tries to hold in her laugh. "Pfft. We don't do that here. Here we bow." Luna says. A wry smile adorns Bens face. He bows a little and says. "I am Ben. It is nice to meet you, sir."

The king dips his head in acknowledgement. "I am King Orion Dusk Zanaibael XXIX. Current king of the elves and father of Luna." King Orion says to Ben. 'It is still unreal that I am talking to real elves.' Ben thinks inside. "Oh cool! Luna that does mean that you are a princess. I didn't know that." Ben says, the last part of the sentence directed to Luna.

"I told you when I introduced myself to you!" Luna scoffs and says to Ben with and incredulous look on her face. "Oh? You did? I must have missed that." Ben says embarrassingly.

"Hey you! You should be imprisoned for improperly greeting the king." An annoyed voice says. A tall figure with silver hair and eyes walks towards them. "You didn't kneel down to give the king the proper respect that he deserves. You should change your tone like you are speaking to your elders. And how dare you keep your wings out in the presence of the king. What was with that response to the king 'oh cool' then disregard him to speak to someone else? Who do you think you are?" The crown prince practically yells into Bens face.

When the crown prince is done Ben turns his head to Luna with a look that says 'Can you believe this guy. Is he for real?' The king who sees al this happen turns his head away to cover his smile from them. While Luna just falls into a fit of laughter. Ben who is now smirking looks back at the crown prince, who has a bright red face because of anger.

"Who do I think I am? I know for sure I am Benjamin Gabriel. 18 years old. Citizen from the United states of America." Ben says with a pondering expression on his face. The crown prince starts to tremble due to anger. He is about to blow up when the king speaks again. "Citizen of the 'United states of America'? Could you elaborate?" The king asks Ben.

"Yes, your majesty I can but can we do that with only the two of us?" Ben says. "Sure, we can. From this moment on I declare that Benjamin Gabriel is a royal guest of king Orion Dusk Zanaibael XXIX." The king says out loud. "Please follow us Ben." The king says to Ben. The king turns around and starts to walk away. Ben follows while giving the crown prince a sideways glance and a smirk.

The right eye of the crown prince twitches. 'Oh… I'll get you.' He thinks. The crown prince also starts to follow behind all the guards who already formed a defensive circle around the king while two guards are waiting on him. Luna starts to walk next to her father.

She hears a voice of her father inside her head. 'What happened exactly?' Luna looks to her father who climbs his horse. Luna steps towards another horse and climbs on top. She looks at Ben who has retracted his wings inside. She sends a voice transmission to her father using her qi. '

It all started when I woke up with this uneasy feeling…' On the way back to the city she tells her father all that happened. 'So, he has three entities? Are you absolutely sure?' The king says to her. 'Yes. He had definitely three different aura's that awakened.' Luna says back to her father. The king starts to think about ways to reel Ben into his kingdom because of his unlimited potential.

The king knows that to have three entities is extremely rare. The ones who have three entities are bound to become fearsome individuals when given the room to grow and evolve. The king wants the best for his kingdom and is sure that if Ben joins them will have another protector against dangers.

Ben who is walking in the middle is looking all around him. He has never seen such massive trees, ever. The forest around him has trees twice the size of the trees in rainforests of his world. When they exit the forest, Ben was stunned by the sight that unfolded to him.

He was looking at a massive wall in the distance. Agriculture all around the wall. He sees cattle grazing on patches of land surrounded by fences. Wheat fields as far as he could see. Elves tending to the lands. When exiting the forest, they came onto a cobblestone road. The road went directly towards the wall. It went tight in between the farms.

The farmers who were tending to the farms looked up and when they saw who was walking by, they all fell onto their knee and bowed their head. When they noticed that the party passed them, they stood up and continued with their work.
