Chapter 77: Alquet Pearl (1)

It's been 7 days since Caspian arrived here, he received the invitation two days ago and the event starts tonight. Which means he will finally get to see Ariuk and his blur face.

In those 7 days of his, he spent his time with his family and especially Rośe who explore the wholr city in those days with Caspian.

He didn't mind spending some time with his family, rather he wanted it to last forever and of coirse not get killed.

It's also been 7 days since Caspian saw the Headmaster and Arthur of course, he wanted to find any communication for them to interact even without meeting up.

Tonight is also the night for the Alquet Pearl to start, with him being a guest for the Elysian. Until now, he don't know why he was picked to attend on behalf of the Headmaster.

Why not his brother? Who is more capable of taking care of any business with a flick of his hand?

The Throndsen Family is attending the Alquet Pearl and will also be Caspian guardian for the event.

He also have an outfit to wrar for the night and he didn't conplained seeing the elegant outfit just for him, Nohae actually got those outfit for Caspian to wear.

Saying that he needs to be presentable and need to have all the eyes of the species.

"Brother you have a guest!" His sister yelled, Caspian looked back from his seat and indeed he have guest.

Right now, Caspian is in the garden while watching the beautiful scene infront of him where he can see all the beautiful places in the city.

Caspian place down the macaroon and greeted the Headmaster with Anastasia trailing behind her.

"Do you had a good day here Caspian?"

The Headmaster sat down across Caspian, accepting the tea Nohae gave to her.

"I did have a lively time here Grandma, and nice to meet you Anastasia?"

Anastasia face lit up, bobbing her head up and down as she was atleast acknowledge by Caspian.

Anastasia indeed really look like a child on the outside but she is atleast at the same age as Adelaide, who porbably lives decades.

"Caspian Smythe right?! Oh my god, he is indeed th—" Adelaide shove a bread in her mouth, stopping her from saying anything more.

Caspian eye twitched at what Adelaide did,

he did knew something but he wanted them to sat it infront of his face, he held himself back knowing if he looks very suspicious.

"You said earlier that you were starving?Here you go, eat and die."

Nohae sweatdropped about what he saw, he wanted to stop them from annoying his Young Master who look very calm in the outside but he bet he was annoyed in the inside seeing the two.

"Why did you visit Grandma?Is there something wrong?"

Adelaide shake her head, a small smile on her face.

"It's nothing, I want to make sure you ate fine before attending such big event."

"Ah, about that.Why did you choose me and not some older one?"

Anastasia look at the female, she also ask the same question but never receive a single line from her.

The Headmaster mind is really mysterious,

that's what Anastasia wanna said.

"Because you are the only one available."

Caspian wanted to shot her a dirty look,

how can she underestimated him?

Does she think that he is naive to notice why she was doing it?

Caspian knew the halfway truth why Adelaide send him at the party.

She wanted to know if he is indeed the 'Azazel' who is reincarnated into Caspian Smythe.

That is really impossible, as he is not even part of the novel and is only a reader.

In the beginning, he wasn't really interest towards the novel, but it changed when his mother introduced it to him, making him change his way.

"Oh, I forgot to give you this."

Adelaide took oit something from her Spatial space, it was an envelope with a really fancy writings.

"Arthur wanted to give it to you."

Caspian can't hide his smile from reaching his ears, Anastasia almost pass out from esting too much and was brought back to life after seeing Caspian smile cause by the Arthur's letter for him.

"Is he doing fine Grandma?"

"He is doing fine, but sometimes slacking off from training saying that he miss you and don't want to participate in the Glacial."

Adelaide chuckled, remembering how Arthur tried to escape and flee from the building they were stayin, saying how Caspian is lonely without him.

She will not get tired from that moment and love to see more.

Caspian block her voice from disturbing him from reading the letter that Arthur gave to him.

Arthut really did miss him alot judging from how long his letter is.

"We came here just to give you that, and we need to get going as the Glacial Expanse will be starting."

Caspia nodded, not taking his eyes off from the PRECIOUS letter his dear Arthur send and even bother letting the Headmaster gave it to him.

The two left, probably heading where his Father is.Nohae fill up the empty plate with strawberry cake this time, but Nohae wasn't suprise seeing Caspian didn't touch it as he was busy eyeing the letter.

Caspian opened it gently, don't want to tear it apart cause this might be still useful to use. He read the letter like a teenager, which he is one.

[ Dear Caspian Smythe ]

[ How are you doing this days? I am always worried everyday since you are not here by my side even though sometimes I annoyed you but I know you like it anyway.If you are wondering if I'm doing fine, yes I am really fine to the point I want to grow wings just to fly to your embrace, oh and by the way Gwen said Hi also since she is your friend.I want to skip the event since it's very lonely and I don't have anyone but myself to trained you know, cause I'm the only Light attribute in the Elysian, but I know that you will be very disappointed if you find out about me slacking off and I want a reward for being a good boy! Let's have our 1285 date I mean our third date, I miss you.]

Well, that's a really long heartmelting letter and it's kinda cute for Caspian, he smiled seeing Arthur trying his best to draw a really easy butterfly but it still ended up being a....

Okay, he don't want to criticize someone who probably don't know how to draw but still try their best to do it.

Should he also write a letter?

"You should write one Young Master. The two guest will probably stay a little longer."

Caspian nodded, he was about to get up and get some materials but suprisingly, his brother appeared with those materials.

Alex handed him the materials while muttering, "Lovebirds."

Is that a compliment or some kinda hidden agenda that Caspian don't even wanna know.

Now, should he also draw a stickman?

----

"What are you trying to say Oliver?"

Adelaide asked.

Oliver looked outside the window, watching some dragons flying up in the sky without disturbance, he kinda envy those species.

Oliver sighed, " I visited the so called next demon king, nothing seems special to him.

As if he was only an ordinary human who don't even have magic to begin with?"

Anastasia agreed to him, she also got the news how that cloak person suddenly attack Elysian without any support from their side.

She munched the cookies, watching the two.

She don't even know why she have to be eith Adelaide and rather be with Caspian to get know him more.Even if she did wanna know more, she already know alot of Caspian.

"Get straight to your point Oliver."

Adelaide gulp down, Oliver keep making her wait and keep saying anything like he was still processing what's inside his mind.

"What if that 'Red' person who appeared at the welcome party wasn't Red at all?What if, it was only a bait for you guys to take in after?Aren't you a little bit confused why that Red person wasn't strong at all?"

Anastasia suddenly choked on the cookies she was eating, she immediately drank her water as the teo sweatdropped at her action, but Adelaide is also suprise.

Now that she think about it, why did even Samael sent his sucessor to the party without any back up plan?

Was it really a bait for them to bite while Samael is really moving behind the curtain without them watching?

Adelaide sat down to ease the growing head ache from all the theories they were coming up. She didn't even feel like attending the first day of the Glacial Expanse from all the stress.

She feel like she was aging much more faster and her hair might turn white from due to all the stress!

"Why do you even think that?" Adelaide asked, massaging her temple.

Oliver in the beginning had his doubt about the sudden attack, he almost got a heart attack knowing his son was taken as a hostage, but he heard that the cloak person took care of him despite being the hostage.

He wasn't harm in anyway and more like Caspian was in a dream land where unicorns fart rainbow, Caspian actually said that to him.

"I soon thought of that since I heard the attack at the Prince welcome party and the sudden appearance of my eldest son."

Oliver sighed, sweeping his hair up as his eyes wavered at the sudden thought.

Adelaide bit her lips, staring at Oliver who look like he wanted to say more but rather hold back from saying it because he can't possibly thought that his E—

"So, you're saying that Khairro might be the real Red?"

"It is possible that he, my son is the next demon king."

Anastasia drop the glass of water, plashing the carpet and wetting it.She, is also shocked at what Oliver said.

She look towards the Headmaster to gained any reaction from her, seeing as she is also thinking the same thing.

"If he is indeed the sucessor.Then, we need to seperate Caspian and Khairro for the best."

Oliver spun around to look at the female,

he knows that Khairro is indeed dangerous from everyone, knowing Khairro.He won't do any harm towards his younger brother and why is the Headmaster wanting to seperate the two?

"Is there something I don't know about Adelaide?"

"Can I ask a question?"

"You already asking one Anastasia."

"...can I go to the bathroom? hehe."
