Chapter 260 System Holder
Chapter 260 System Holder
His stats were definitely high and so was his intelligence. He seemed a bit mature as well, but unfortunately, he still couldn't get over with Aella.
Also, the wish that he just made, he claimed a slap from Deoras.
"Do you even know what his highness does?"
"And do you think you can come even close to what he does every day?", Deoras asked.
The shadow wolf general was quiet. He was overheard and of course, couldn't help but be embarrassed and hear him shout.
"And, didn't I tell you to forget about sister Aella?"
"His Highness is in her heart, you can never take his place.", Deoras said.
Upon listening to this, he got angry and ended up talking back.
"I don't think so…"
Deoras was surprised when he heard him give back answer.
"Huh? Did you just talk back to me?", he asked.
The shadow wolf general didn't say anything else and just kept quiet.
"What boy? You grew so big and strong that you could just talk back to your superiors?", Deoras asked in an angry tone.
The shadow wolf general had already been trying to hold tons of emotions inside him.
He ended up shouting, "What's so good about that pup?"
"If I was as lucky as him, then I would have also gained lots of lovers! Yes, he is just lucky!", he said.
Well, in reality, what he said was true. If not for is the luck of getting a system, he would have been doomed.
Getting killed by humans or even his own kin was his fate.
Regardless, Of the fact that the shadow wolf general said this, would have meant that he had seen some moments that probably felt lucky to him.
"Lucky?"
"Haha!"
"I never saw him get lucky."
"But even if he did, what's that got to do with you?"
"Don't you know, luck is also part of someone's success and power.", Deoras said.
It was as if he had a lot of knowledge inside him and suddenly accessed it.
Regardless, after what he said, the shadow wolf general didn't speak even a single word. When he thought about it, for some reason, it felt quite convincing.
He then asked, "But how do I suppress this feeling…?"
He was desperate. He knew what was right and what was wrong, yet, he couldn't control himself.
Deoras realized that it was time for him to be taught many things and thus he followed him behind because if it had been later, then the shadow wolf general would have ended up betraying Shin.
This might end up tarnishing Shin's reputation when he would have built a kingdom. Also, this would open a path for others to betray as well.
Deoras, by no means, wanted this to happen.
Thus, he looked at the shadow wolf general and said, "Why don't you pledge your loyalty to Aella as well?"
"Don't you think you will be satisfied by protecting her?", he asked.
Of course, he wouldn't be satisfied, but right now, his mind was ready to accept any and every route that could lead to Aella.
Without thinking even for a second, he said, "Yes! I will!"
"I will talk to his highness about this."
"Now, let's go back.", Deoras said convincing the shadow wolf general to return.
Of course, now was not the time to discuss about this since Shin was asleep and the matter at hand was dealing with the Dark Elves so Deoras waited until these things were over.
Regardless, Shin slept for another hour before finally waking up.
He didn't wake up on his own, rather, Aella woke him up.
"Wakey wakey your highness…", she said as she licked his face.
*blink blink*
Shin opened his eyes slowly only to find Aella's face.
He had gotten used to this a long time ago but now, after feeling it again, he smiled.
p
"But your highness, we would be late if your sleep any longer."
"You need to do something about the dark elves and then we have to start walking towards the Arena…", she said.
Shin suddenly realized that he had to take care of the dark elves as well.
He then forced himself to wake up and sit only to find the entire place, completely empty.
He looked here and there and finally found the wolves and dark elves who were peeking from the side of the huts and from the huts respectively.
He then stood up and said, "I apologize for showing such a pathetic side of mine…"
The moment he said that Deoras, Terran, Raka, Alira, and Kaily immediately rushed from the sides all saying at the same time, "There is nothing to apologize, your highness!!"
They all they looked at each other and ended up laughing as all of them literally said the same thing.
What else would you expect from a familia?
Although Raka was not part of it, he too said the same thing.
Regardless, Shin too ended up laughing after hearing this. He then said, "Get the elves out."
"I have something important to discuss with them."
Terran and Raka immediately went and asked the Dark Elves to come forward and meet Shin.
First of all, the males and especially the elders walked forward. Following them were females who wore a different outfit – made up of leaves.
Their tension vanished. Yes, the dark elves were not that nervous anymore.
That was because Shin seemed quite joyous and the one to laugh freely.
He even apologized first so the elves thought that he was someone with whom, they could hold a proper conversation.
The wolves from the familia including Raka made a pathway by standing on the right and the left side.
The elves walked in the middle and then bowed in front of Shin.
One would usually start with saying praise or one would usually beg, but the elder's first few words surprised Shin completely.
His expressions changed completely after hearing that.
"Are you the System Holder?", the elder asked.
"…"
