Chapter 310: Family Introduction Ceremony (1)
Hearing that, Alexander and Arthur immediately gave their full attention to the Goddess of Blessings. They were waiting for something, but it was for a brief discussion with the other Emperors.
Who would have thought that the Goddess of Blessings was also waiting for the others to leave because she would say something more confidential to them?
"Please enlighten us, o the Goddess of Blessings." Alexander gave a respectful response with honor.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I, along with the Goddess of Light and Elysia, will go to Fairy Continent. For that reason, please arrange the academy permit for Elysia." Nell glanced at the two girls behind her, then looked back at Alexander and Arthur.
The Emperors had expected it considering that the Goddess of Blessings had said that implicitly before. However, one thing they didn\'t understand was Elysia\'s participation.
The Goddess of Blessings intended to engage a mortal girl when she and the Goddess of Light would meet another divine existence in Fairy Continent? But, for what and why? The Emperors and the others wondered in their minds.
Among them all, Evelyn and Ella were the most astonished for various causes and reasons.
"Very well, I will take care of the permit for Elysia. Tomorrow morning is the time when the affinity re-test for all students is held. I hope Elysia can participate in the event before leaving." Arthur nodded his head in understanding.
"That\'s what we planned." Nell sat on a mini golden seat from Elena\'s magic.
"Forgive my indiscretion, but let me ask a question." Evelyn didn\'t have the strength to remain silent. She needed to know why her friend would be taken away on this potentially dangerous journey.
"Sure, come to your question, Evelyn Mitchell." Nell gave an open palm hand gesture.
"Please tell me why Ely needs to go to Fairy Continent?" Evelyn glanced at her best friend, but she only received a gentle smile from the latter. Then, she looked back at the Goddess of Blessings with a pleading look.
"Mm, it\'s because of what happened to Elysia recently. I needed help meeting the divine existence in Fairy Continent. Still, the Goddess of Light refused to leave her disciple unprotected." Nell folded her hands in her lap with a gentle smile.
"It\'s my will. My disciple Ely will be safer to be around me. It won\'t be long before we return. You don\'t need to worry, Evelyn." Elena smiled gently. She couldn\'t bear to see Evelyn\'s worried expression.
"En, the journey will probably only take a few days, Eve. With my master and the Goddess of Blessings protecting me, I\'ll be fine. Please don\'t worry, mkay? We\'ll have a pleasant talk after this." Elysia clasped her hands, trying to convince her friend not to worry.
"Ah-uh, all right..." Evelyn lowered her head a little. She felt pretty embarrassed to be the center of attention because the Emperors and the others just looked at her in silence.
Meanwhile, Ella let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. In some respects, it was confirmed that no place could be safer than around the divine existence.
"Very well, you can all continue what you are going to do. That is the end of my words... Until we meet again." Elena got up from her seat and walked away without waiting for a response from anyone.
She used her invisible magic and returned to her spirit form with a bit of play of the golden glow. After that, she flew back to Elysia and entered the Soul Realm, her comfortable home.
In the eyes of others, the Goddess of Light seemed to turn into particles of light before her entire divine existence had disappeared entirely. No one could detect the Goddess of Light\'s presence anymore, not even Nell.
\'Elysia, is your master still around? She\'s not really leaving, is she?\' Nell asked via telepathy, just to make sure.
\'Yes, my master is still around. Uhm, well... My master has little business that needs to be done.\' Elysia responded with a bit of feeling of helplessness. The business she mentioned was Elena lazing around in the Soul Realm.
\'I see. Thanks for letting me know. Your master needs to learn a little from you, really, Elysia.\' Nell sighed inwardly.
She remembered about the treatment she got from Elena last night and this morning. It was a bit arbitrary, as if the strong were bullying the weak. The obedient, gentle, and kindhearted girls were the best.
\'Hehe, my master can hear you, o the Goddess of Blessings.\' Elysia chuckled lightly. Elena did hear Nell\'s words, but they were simply ignored.
\'You already call me Nell, so use my name as usual instead. Don\'t be like your master. She calls me by different names depending on her mood.\' Nell grumbled a little. She didn\'t care if Elena could hear her.
\'I will keep it in mind, Nell.\' Elysia closed the conversation. Apparently, Nell was not in the mood to accept light jokes.
\'Good.\' After saying that, Nell felt the energy fluctuation occurring from her seat.
Feeling something was wrong, she flew a little into the air. Simultaneously, the golden seat turned into golden light particles and disappeared into thin air.
Nell let out a sigh of relief, albeit inwardly. She was quick to act and didn\'t embarrass herself by falling on her butt because of her seat\'s sudden disappearance. The culprit was obvious, but she didn\'t want to talk about it.
"Please continue your coordination and cooperation based on the details I have provided. I hope all the preparations are completed before next month. That\'s all from me. I need to return to my Firmament Realm." Nell turned to the Emperors as she spread her arms.
"Your orders are an obligation for us. We will make sure not to disappoint your expectations, o the Goddess of Blessings." Alexander stood with his hand on his chest, and the other Emperors followed suit.
Nell just nodded and flew up high before disappearing into particles of light.
Before really leaving, she didn\'t forget to say something to her godmaster. \'Elysia, I\'m going to the Holy Cathedral to retrieve my Firmament Realm\'s core. Do you want to come with me?\'
\'I\'ll stay here first, Nell. I need to tell my friends a few things. Uhm, well... Looks like they wanted to talk to me about something.\' Elysia decided not to go because of some considerations towards Evelyn and Ella. She was aware her friends often steal several glances at her.
\'Okay, I\'ll go first. I\'ll be right back to join you after taking care of a few things. Also, please don\'t block our spirit connection.\' Nell gave a gentle reminder as she went out of the hall.
\'En, okay. That goes for you too, Nell.\' Elysia felt that she had no reason to block their spirit connection, though.
After giving a confirmation, Nell immediately left.
Elysia glanced left and right. She realized that she felt alone in the hall.
As if understanding Elysia\'s dilemma, Evelyn let out her pleasant voice as a consolation for confusion after the two Goddesses\' departure. "Ely, please join us. Let me introduce you to my parents."
"It\'s my pleasure." Elysia doesn\'t mind that. She immediately got up from the golden seat and walked towards Evelyn\'s group.
Once there, Evelyn intertwined her hand on Elysia\'s. Evelyn cheerfully drew her best friend to her parents. "Father, mother, I would like to introduce. This is Elysia Avery, my best friend whom I talked to recently."
"Pleased to meet you." Elysia gave a slight bow with a sweet smile etched on her face.
"Hum, nice to meet you, Elysia. Thank you for looking after our daughter." Kevin gave an approving nod. He had seen enough to assess his daughter\'s friend.
"Oh my, after hearing so much about you from our daughter, we are finally able to meet, Elysia. You are as beautiful, hospitable, and lovable as our daughter was talking about." Isabelle returned Elysia\'s smile with a gentle demeanor.
"Thank you, Emperor Kevin, Queen Isabelle." Elysia felt a little flattered by that.
"Oh, no-no, a little bit incorrect. Please call me aunty, and you may call my husband uncle. You\'ve become a good friend of our daughter, Elysia. So don\'t be so distant like that." Isabelle lightly waved her hand in front of her face.
"Aun-ty?" Elysia said that hesitantly but spontaneously.
"En, perfect." Isabelle smiled with satisfaction at that.
At that moment, Elysia felt someone touching her arm from behind. She turned around, and Ella was there.
Before anyone could speak, Evelyn interrupted and introduced Ella too. "Father, mother, please meet. This is Gabriella Celestine, the Holy Princess and also my friend. In some aspects, she is similar to me."
"Nice to meet you, Emperor Kevin, Queen Isabelle." Ella gave a very respectful greeting to Evelyn\'s parents.
"Oh, fufu... Nice to meet you too, Gabriella. You can leave the formalities with us and please call me aunty and my husband as an uncle. And for you, Evelyn. How can Gabriella resemble you when you are two years younger than her? I guess it\'s the opposite, fufu..." Isabelle giggled as she covered her mouth again with grace.
"Mou~" Evelyn puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction. However, she immediately shifted the topic to introduce her brother to Elysia and Ella.
After a few pleasantries, Ella nudged Elysia\'s arm lightly. "Ely, let me introduce you to my parents. They\'ve been wanting to see you since I told them about you last month. Eve, you too. I want to introduce you to my parents."
"Sure." Elysia nodded without objection.
"Un-un, father, mother, I will be with my friends for a moment." Evelyn was quite enthusiastic about it. After she got the approval, they went to Ella\'s parents.
Surprisingly, the other Emperors only witnessed that with patience and composure. They even sent a sign for their son to join in on that family introduction ceremony.
