Heavenly Monarch - Chapter 128
That evening Ellis and Ray went to the pub to wait for the other and it didn’t take much time before Gray, Roland came, seeing that josh was not with them Ellis couldn’t help but asked.
” Why is josh not together with you guys”.
” He will be here soon,” said Roland as he took his seat.
Taking their seat to wait for the arrival of the others, Ray other for some liquor, and while they were enjoying their drink jenny came in dress in her hunter’s wear.
” Over here jenny” wave Ray when he saw her searching for them.
” Wait a minute, do you also invite miss jenny,” asked Gray in bewildering when he saw her walking toward their sit.
” Yeah is there anything wrong with that” replied Ray?
” Not at all it just that I never knew you guys are close to her” replied Gray.
Seeing the boys sitting together with Gray and Roland, jenny was shocked as she sat down close to Ray.
” I never knew you will be inviting these two over as well,” said jenny after taking her seat.
” Well, there also josh who has yet to arrive” replied Ellis with a smile.
” So what is it that you are celebrating to invite us to a place like this” asked jenny out of curiosity.
” Let’s wait for josh’s arrival, so what do you like to drink” asked Ellis.
” Just get me a bottle of rosy wine” replied jenny.
After she was served, the group begin to chat until josh arrived and they continue with other discussions while enjoying their drink with the sound of laughter echoing in the place until eventually Ray stood up and hit his cup with a little energy strong enough to produce a sound to get the attention of the group.
” Listen up everyone, my buddy and I have something important that we need to tell you,” said Ray after getting everyone’s attention.
After saying those words and seeing that they are listening, Ray continues to speak.
” My friend and I will be leaving Hiepia empire tomorrow and won’t be coming back anytime soon and we just want to take this time to thank you all for the love and care you showed us even though you don’t know who we were,” said Ray with a conflicted look on his face.
” What you guys are leaving, don’t you like it here,” said Gray with shock, and by the look of things, he was not the only one that was in shock by the statement.
” Although we like it in here, the freedom to do want you want to without being cautious about being seen by other members of your family and it is also time for me to head home” replied Ellis.
” What home are you talking about,” asked Josh this time around.
” Allow me to tell them exactly what happened,” said Ray to Ellis who is finding it difficult to explain himself.
Nodding his head in approval, Ellis took his seat as he waited for Ray to say all that is needed to hear.
“Ellis here is the young clan master of the Gibson clan, and the reason why we were here in Hiepia empire was because of his brother sending a group of assassin’s to assassinate him while he was returning to the clan after completing the mission that was assigned to him by his father. We almost lost our lives in the fight but thanks to Ellis protectors who willingly sacrifice their life just for him to escape” said Ray as he begins to tell them what happened after that.
When the group heard the story of Ellis they feel sorry for him but that was when jenny voice out.
” I thought as much when you came to the guild the very day for your registration”.
” Wait you knew my identity all this while,” asked Ellis in surprise.
” I didn’t know that you were a clan master but I know one thing for sure and that is you are running away from someone meaning you have a higher status or you have something that your pursuer wanted badly” replied jenny with a smile on her face.
” See I told you those changes we made to ourselves won’t hide our cover” complain Ray.
” If I may ask ain’t you guys worry about being ambush on your way back to the clan by the assassins,” asked Roland after taking a mouthful of liquor.
” There will not be anyone ambushing us this time around unless my brother knew that I was coming” replied Ellis with a smile on his face.
” Wait so what about the assassins, ain’t you scared of meeting with them,” asked Josh when the two acting abnormally.
” We don’t need to worry about the dead disturbing those from the land of the living unless they want their soul to be erased from existence completely” replied Ray with a sinister laugh.
” That is impossible, I thought you said they were far stronger than the two of you put together so how did you manage to kill them,” asked Gray still not believing their words.
” I have to admit there got us where they wanted us but unfortunately for them, the vice leader was keeping watch over those of us that were involved with the demon summoning. So I guess you already know what happened after that” replied Ellis with an awkward laugh.
” Vice Leader was keeping a tab over us all this way I we still did not know,” said Josh in surprise.
” I was even surprised when I found out too” replied Ray.
” So you won’t be coming back to the guild again” asked jenny in a sad mood.
Everyone quiet down when she spoke and it took Ellis some time to reply.
” I don’t know if I will be able to come back but Incase anyone of you want to see me, you are free to come to see me in the clan”.
” Since there is nothing else to talk about here, then I will be taking my leave,” said Jenny as she took a mouthful of her wine before walking out of the pub.
Turning to look at her walkout pain him a lot since they were very close.
