Chapter 249 Never Met Her Before
Chapter 249 Never Met Her Before
"hmm........ And you are sure you haven't meet her from somewhere before".
There were four sitted in the one room building created using the sand on the ground and molding it into bricks stacked on top themselves to give out its shape.
The tables and chair they sat on was made using Orun's forest skill to carve out the shape and form.
Orun sat at the head with Wildria sitting opposite him on the far end of the table. Theron the newly named Troll sat on the left side, and Monryck the Minotaur leader sat on the right side.
On the table itself is the scroll that was meant for Orun, openly laid down with black ink used to write in the contents.
All four of them had their eyes fixated on the scroll on the table, Monryck and Theron having an expression that shows that they have no idea of what is going on.
Orun and Wildria had on them, a questioning expression with Wildria directing her's at Orun, and Orun directing his on the scroll laid on the table.
"if I had met someone of this caliber, don't you think I would have memories of it happening?".
Orun sounded believable, but Wildria has a hard time finding it to be true, especially with what the scroll contained.
"do you think any of that makes sense? How can you tell me you haven't met with her before yet she knows of your identity and even where to find you. Going as far as even sending you an invitation letter. Tell me, does that sound like someone you haven't met with before".
Wildria isn't wrong to think that there is something Orun is not telling her about the identity of the scroll's owner.
All evidence so far shows that Orun has had at least one meeting with the sender of the letter.
It might have been short, but it surely was a memorable one for the owner to have gone so far as keeping tracks of Orun, and even inviting him to her abode.
"believe me, I have been trying as hard as I can to figure it out, but I really do not remember having met with the queen of the elvens before. Never In my life".
For reasons both confusing and unknown to Orun, the Elven queen, ruler of the elves, a certain race he has never had an encounter with in his life.
The leader of that particular race sent him an invitation letter for him to make his way down to where the elves live in, with a map to direct him on his journey written inside the scroll.
Orun's confusion is boundless at how that came to be, with questions of how the Elven queen knows of his existence.
Somehow, Orun's identity is becoming more exposed than even he himself could handle.
He would have thought the letter was from miss dragon if it wasn't for the queen directives and identity stated on it.
"sigh.... There is no used arguing about it with you".
Orun's expression was convincing enough that he really had no idea who the queen is or why she would have sent an invitation letter to him.
Wildria was will to believe him because she thought and knew that Orun has no reason keeping it a secret from her.
"so, what are you going to do about it? Do you plan on going or forfeiting. I am all for you going by the way".
Despite knowing the risks involved in having Orun visit a place he had never been to, according to him that is, Wildra still wanted him to go.
The Elves are a race who do not allow just anyone to come into their settlement, nor will they just hand out an invitation letter on a whim, especially one coming directly from the Elven queen who happens to be their highest monarch of the Elven noble hierarchy.
If Orun was invited by her, there needs to be a credible reason as to why that is, and Orun isn't going to find that out if he ends up rejecting the invitation.
If there was an alternative way on ground for Orun to not attend and still get to know why the queen invited him, she would have told him not to go and risk his life, but there isn't.
Orun is the one that was invited. In this case, if someone else were to substitute for him and go in his place, the elves might not accept the substitute considering how strict they can be when it comes to involving with those outside of their race.
"what do you both think I should do".
He asked Monryck and Theron to hear what they have to say, and make it known to them that they also have a chance to make decisions, voice out their opinions as representatives of their race.
Theron isn't actually the representative of his race, but he is currently substituting for the Troll Chief as he is still asleep beneath the sand cave that Orun is yet to complete.
The Minotaurs and the Trolls are no longer savages whose purpose is only to kill and think of how to survive the next day.
They are now in a group that is aiming to be amongst one of the world's superpowers by banding together species belonging to a particular race, the monster race.
They need to learn that fast, and the better they do, the faster they will be able to adapt to speaking out their thoughts in a gathering where the leader of each monster specie is present in.
As Wildria had already expressed her opinion concerning the case, it is also their turn to vote on what they want done.
"i am in support of Lord Orun going to the Elven kingdom. It would be rude of us to decline their invitation without knowing what they want. And rejecting it would make us look like cowards before them".
Like Monryck had said, Orun hastily jumping to the conclusion that the elves or whoever sent the invitation did it so they could lure him into a trap, and because of that, he decided to not go.
At that moment, Orun would only be portraying himself as a coward type monster who is too scared to take risks before the Elven nation.
It would not look good for Orun if truly it is the Elven queen who sent him the invitation, and her purpose isn't to harm him.
