Novel Bin Chapter 342 The Dwarf Crown Prince Part 1
After getting changed, Adel suggested I let Iena and Diablo come with us to sightsee as well. So basically, it would be one big date. Well, I guess date is a little off since both Thurul and Grace were here too. “Faith, are you sure this is okay? With us both here, the kingdom….” Iena was the first to speak up. She knew it was very important to keep an eye on the kingdom during these troubled times.
“Mmmm… Diablo has set up a network of shadows around the kingdom as well as having some mid tier demons guarding the castle. So don’t worry, we thought of everything just so you two could be here with me today!” I said with a smile as I held Iena’s hand. Iena blushed and nodded as I led her off the airship.
“Faith has really become someone who is smooth with the ladies.” Adel’s teasing voice came from behind me.
“Miss Adel, you forget, Faith has also captured my heart as well.” Diablo cut in, causing me to blush. Why is it sounding like I am some kind of playboy!?
“Now that you mention it, that is true. I guess it’s those who fall first who lose while the winner is the one who is the happiest.” Adel’s words made me turn around and stick my tongue out at her. She returned one in kind.
“But Diablo, since you do not get to spend as much time with Faith, you should get over there and take her other hand. I am sure she will be happy.” Adel’s voice was low, but I could still hear her. I couldn’t help but smile as both Sophie and Adel are very supportive of anything I do.
And sure enough, Diablo did take my other hand as we walked towards the exit of the airship dock. “Thurul, are we already inside the mountain?”
“Yep, this is Dwrognar, the capital of the Drawven kingdom. It may seem gloomy with how dark it is, but it is actually quite nice here. We dwarves like the dampness and cool air that comes with living inside a mountain like this. The air is moist, clean, and cool, making it the perfect place to work hard, creating many things.
“There are special vents that have wind magic inscribed in them that sucks the air out and also brings air in. It is a nice cycle that allows for the city to always have clean air. But this was not always the case. At one point, the kingdom was filled with heavy clouds of smoke and soot from all the forges. That was until a law was passed to have these vents put into place.
“And since then, the entire city has become a more relaxing place to live and work. I would love to have a mountain for my shop in the capital gravos, but I can only do so much. Luckily the Kingdom of Gravos has good clean, cool air as well.” Thurul explained.
“I really like the glowing rocks embedded into the cave’s ceiling. It looks like stars but also gives off a gentle blue light. It’s very soothing in a way.” I really like this place. It was different from what I was used to. I have been stuck on an airship for a long time now. While looking down at the lands of the different kingdoms that we passed through was fun and entertaining, this was a whole different thing.
A different culture that was different from the norm that I was used to was something to really enjoy, and I couldn’t wait to explore this place from top to bottom. Thurul seemed nervous as he wore a hat on his head that covered his face from people’s eyes. It was interesting to see him trying to hide his Identity.
“Brother, I know that is you!” A voice came from in front of us, causing everyone to turn to look at a well dressed dwarf with many guards around him as he walked over. “Did you think we wouldn’t know if you arrived in the kingdom? We have known since you passed through the barrier at the border! Why are you not announcing your arrival?”
Thurul’s face turned sour as he ripped his hat off and pointed at the dwarf in front of him. “You think I want to talk to you and that old man? I just came here to help my business partner! We have something to do that many dwarves will be highly interested in!”
The well dressed dwarf face scrunched up. “Are you still mad at me for taking Lena? Just so you know, Lena was the one who wished to be with me. I tried to stop her, but father announced our engagement to make the elders happy. Things were out of my hands.”
“Out of your hands? You sure know how to pop kids out of her belly every single year! Just to spite me!” Thurul roared. I suddenly feel like I have stumbled upon a part of Thurul’s past that we were not supposed to know about.
I quickly let go of Iena and Diablo’s hand and walked over to Thurul, and placed my hand on his shoulder. “Thurul, relax. This is not the place.” I then turned to the well dressed dwarf and said: “I would appreciate it if you would stop egging my friend on. Whether you are his family or not does not give you the right to be washing your dirty linen in public like this. Are you trying to make people talk about him in a bad way? Point and laugh at him for having his lover taken? Is this how you treat someone who is supposed to be family?”
“Huh? Who are you? What right do you have to butt into my conversation with my brother?” The well dressed dwarf yelled out.
My cold gaze fell onto the well dressed dwarf who called thurul his brother. “Who am I? Let me introduce myself. My name is Princess Cyrilia. Princess of The Gravos Kingdom and long time friend of Thurul. And as his friend and as a princess, I can not sit here and watch you belittle him, a citizen of my kingdom. Or do you wish to find out what I do to people who harm my friends, whether it is physically or mentally?”
