I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 6 The Dark Elf Palace
Previous story:
Diana takes Ren to meet Evan, her little baby. Then the two people feel nostalgic for their past. Diana told me the most about her feelings. Ren was just listening patiently. Even Ren had also let go of his disguise briefly due to Diana's request.
Until Eva finally arrives, and joins them. They also talked about the trip to the Elf palace which will be carried out in two days.
Ren leaves after disappearing Evan's dark aura and also gives Evan a protective blessing. After Ren returns home, Duke appears.
Eva decided to go back to her room after that. So Duke and Diana had a serious conversation about visiting Emerta. The Duke approved their departure, but he was also worried. He even had a refusal to get involved.
***
Tonight I didn't go back to my room, but to Vivian's. Yeah, we'll spend some time together again. Honestly, it was great to spend time with him. I don't feel lonely. It was as if I had a sister to play with.
I spent time with Vivian in the next two days before my departure. We play together, read and gossip.
I also introduced Fram and Rexus to Vivian. When Vivian got to know Fram, she found the little boy funny and she felt hooked to pinching his cheeks. As for Rexus, Vivian was not particularly interested. Rexus forms like lizards and Vivian does not like reptiles. But she tries to be polite by not showing her fear because Rexus is Eva's pet.
But Rexus felt that Vivian was moving away from him, even occasionally frowning in disdain. Rexus could only stare at her with a pouting expression while sneering at "This human is even more disgusting. How could he think of me as an insect? I am the mighty dragon! He was the one who looked more like an insect with that weak appearance!" protest Rexus with his squeaking voice.
Vivian doesn't understand Rexus. He even jumped in shock as Rexus let out his voice.
"Let's calm. Vivian's not that bad. He's just afraid of lizards" I chimed in on Rexus's scorn.
"I'm not a lizard!" Rexus shouted out in protest.
I didn't respond to Rexus's protest afterwards.
The days went on as usual. Two days passed and the day of our departure arrived.
I've prepared a lot of stuff in my dimensional space. My mother also prepared her needs and Evan. We were both waiting for Ren on the front page.
Evan was sleeping peacefully in Diana's arms. Evan is a sleepyhead. The boy won't even wake up even if his body is shaken. He would only wake up if he was hungry. I also just learned that Evan is like that lately.
Ren hasn't arrived yet. Duke still hugged Diana. While Fram and Rexus were already in the middle of the courtyard.
Fram and Rexus plan to follow us back to the dark elf palace. Fram misses her hometown, so she wants to come back. While Rexus was very curious about the old dragon who befriended the elves. He wanted to see the dragon.
Ren of course allowed Fram to come along because he was one of his kind. For Rexus, Ren gives him leniency because the boy is not human. Ren thought a little dragon with an innocent mind would not do evil. Dragons are not as cunning as humans. So Ren felt safe with his secret.
Ren has arrived. He called us to gather. The duke released Diana from his embrace reluctantly.
"See you later" I waved at him.
"See you later Dear~" Diana also said goodbye.
The Duke looked at his daughter and wife reluctantly. "Be careful" he said slowly. Before they all disappeared from before his eyes.
***
We gathered around Ren. There was no magic circle at all, but we all moved to the tree house quickly.
Unknowingly, I looked at Ren in awe. This man was truly mysterious and powerful. Bringing a lot of people to teleport without a magic circle was an amazing thing! I can't do it! Even Sayn lost in that.
"Come" Ren ordered everyone to follow him. He led us all towards the magic circle that was in his study.
When I saw Ren's working room condition, I gasped in shock. Once upon a time, this room was like a broken ship. All the books are on the floor. But now, the books were neatly arranged on the shelf. The room looks normal now. I can't believe that Ren will also be able to clean up.
Ren activates the magic circle with his mana. I thought so, but it wasn't! Ren injured his thumb and suddenly dripped his blood on the magic circle.
Then SYUUU, the magic circle shone by emitting a silvery light.
This is the first time, I saw someone activate the magic circle with blood. Absolutely unique!
"To prevent theft" Ren replies while looking at Eva. She understood what Eva was thinking just looking at from her face. "In that way, only I can use this magic circle" he continued.
I nodded after hearing his explanation.
"Come in" Ren called everyone.
We entered the magic circle carefully. The Magic Circle was executed, and they all disappeared from the room.
This teleportation experience was very strange. Usually when teleporting, there are always small shocks or vibrations because we cross dimensions quickly. But it didn't happen. There's no shocks whatsoever. I wonder how powerful this magic circle is. Everything went smoothly until I could finally see the light, declaring that I had already reached my destination.
The first thing I saw was a very high ceiling. The ceiling looks antique with strange ancient carvings.
"Welcome to Your Majesty" I suddenly heard the simultaneous voices of many people. And I saw that now there were a lot of people standing on our left and right sides. They all bow. And they were all dark elves.
It turned out that we were in the middle of the royal hall at the moment. Very striking arrival. It was only fitting that the magic circle could only be activated with Ren's blood. It was all because her magic circle was connected directly to the royal hall!
The royal hall of the elves had a different impression to the royal hall of Well. If the hall of the kingdom of Well has a bright and pleasant impression. Thus, the hall of the elf kingdom had an elegant and slightly dark impression. Because this place is very less lighting, so it looks like an ancient building that is very antique but luxurious.
Ren quickly changed his appearance. Although her clothes remained the same, somehow I felt like she was a very different person now.
Ren elegantly walked to his throne and sat down with his legs crossed. All of his followers still bowed respectfully.
"You can wake up" Ren said.
Everyone immediately raised their heads. In an instant me and the others were subjected to everyone's suspicious gazes.
"Your Majesty, you're back" a dark Elf came forward and stood beside Ren.
"Yes"
"After a long time..." The dark elves were slightly moved. Even her eyes were glazed over, holding back tears.
Ren really did not return for many years to this place. He doesn't care about everyone. And made everyone worry too.
"Don't cry, Drian. It was flipped and very ugly" Ren said without pity. In the end, he was still the king who was cold in everyone's eyes.
"How's the palace doing these days? Did something happen?" Ren asked as if he had only left the palace for a few days instead of a few years.
Drian was silent for a while before finally answering nervously. "Maybe it's okay..."
Looking at Drian's face filled with doubt, Ren thought that something had happened.
"Take the guests to the guest room first" Ren said as he looked at Eva and her group.
"I'll see you guys later. Rest first" Ren said. We nodded.
"I'm going back home, Your Majesty!" Fram raised her hand. He had his own house in the elf village, so he wanted to return. No one was there because both of his parents were dead.
Ren nodded in agreement and Fram darted away leaving the palace.
A female dark elf suddenly approached us. "Guests, I will escort you to the guest room" the Elf offered herself politely.
"Please and thank you~" Diana responded gently as usual.
We also left the royal hall. Sometimes I look back to see Ren. Like he had a very serious conversation with Drian. I could tell her just from her tense expression.
This hall is huge. It even took a long time to get to the exit.
"That guy, it smells bad" Fram complained as she pointed at the female elf who was driving us.
Whahuh? How dare he say a woman stinks! For the woman did not hear him. "That's rude" I admonished Rexus quietly.
"Humph!" Rexus just grunted. He folded his wings back and sat comfortably on top of my head.
Hmh! You lazy dragon. They eat, grumble and sleep every day. But I can't do anything about it. Rexus has been like that since birth. Maybe I am spoiling him too much?
We finally stepped out of the hall. As we walked out, a long and large hallway greeted us. The hallway is also a little dark. There were strange ornaments similar to ornaments on the ceiling of the hall along the walls of the hall. The lighting only uses a small candle that is placed remotely. So, naturally the hallway of this palace was less bright.
I looked around as I walked down the hallway. There are a few pins on the left and right side. I don't know what room it is and it's better not to be curious. Because it is impolite to be curious about the private room in someone else's house. Until finally, we arrived at one of the doors.
The dark elf opened the door and told us to come in.
I went in and saw a large room inside. This room reminds me of the main room in our Mansion. With a king size bed and a sofa.
The lighting in this room is also not very good.because they still use candles, the lighting is really bad. But the room remains spacious and luxurious. Bad lighting can reduce the quality of a room.
"Thank you" I and Diana said simultaneously to the dark elf.
The dark elf did not reply, only bowing his head. Then he slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.
Before leaving, the female dark elf stared at the door of their room with narrowed eyes. Under the darkness, his expression was quite sinister. "Man, shit!" he murmured while grinding his teeth before finally walking away.
