Chapter 581: The Promise
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yarin’s POV:
The second half of the journey couldn’t bring me any more joy. On the one hand, Heller’s face was getting paler and paler after suffering the side effects; on the other hand, Lily was missing. I didn’t have the mood to enjoy the festive atmosphere at all.
Heller became increasingly taciturn. He felt like vomiting when he uttered the last sentence to me. Even Denise gradually became quiet as if we influenced her.
I almost couldn’t maintain my smile. I didn’t know how my mother could remain calm in so many dangerous situations. To me, just my brother and friends were enough to make me panic.
At this moment, I realized I was completely unqualified, regardless of my identity. Perhaps I should have been tougher at the beginning. I should have dragged Heller out of the float to check on him and then asked about Lily. Unlike now, where he used his so-called identity and responsibility as an excuse, he could not show the image a prince should have in front of the people, nor could he be a good brother and friend.
I could only keep asking Heller how he was feeling. He didn’t even want to eat candy at the last few hundred meters.
Denise sprayed some motion sickness stuff on him. “I spray this whenever I get motion sick. It makes me feel much better,” she said. The spray was cool and minty. I didn’t know whether it worked on Heller. However, he still looked pale and remained silent.
The parade of festooned cars went around the circle, and their final destination was Silver Moon Plaza. The street stalls were filled with interesting specialties, games, and snacks.
There were all kinds of open-air plays, performances, and circus performances. The people cheered for the return of the floats, and their parents stood up to welcome them personally. They should have long received the report about the failed attack. Therefore, they watched Heller with a faint concern.
After the parade, the floats slowly drove to the open-air parking lot. The actors blended into the crowd and enjoyed the festival.
“Hey, can I come and play with you guys later?” Denise asked hesitantly, a little shy. She seemed frightened by the three layers of guards inside and outside. Moreover, the tent was not far away. Even the royal family could make this naive girl flinch.
To be honest, I was not very familiar with her. It was Heller who chatted with her on the way. However, apparently, Heller needed to receive an examination. Perhaps, his trip to the Moonlight Festival would end here. If he agreed to it, he might disappoint the little girl.
I was not sure whether to agree or not. Heller, who was about to leave with Kara, immediately nodded, “Of course. Do you see that tent? I think I’ll stay there all day. Tell the guard at the door if you want to invite me to play. I’ll inform him in advance. No one will be rude to you.”
He looked as if he wanted to take Denise with him and leave -and in a flash, I realized something. No wonder this kid had changed from his usual dull-witted manner and was chatting enthusiastically with others on the float!
Obviously, as a good brother, I should not betray him at this moment. Therefore, I took off a brooch from Heller’s collar. The sapphire wolf head on it indicated that he was a royal.
“However, there are many people today. The guards might be unusually strict. Show this to the guards. They’ll understand.” Heller hurriedly nodded.
Denise took the brooch and nodded in confusion. Her parents were waiting on the street. She nodded at us and ran away.
Heller watched him leave with a disappointed look. Seeing this, I rolled my eyes and said, “Don’t look, kid. You have other things to do. Don’t let the doctor and the werewolf grandmaster wait too long.”
As soon as Denise left, the boy returned to his stiff self. “I know, ugh – oh, god! I feel like throwing up.”
We went back to the tent. Our parents were waiting for us.
The moment they saw Heller, they immediately surrounded him and talked about him. After checking Heller’s spiritual world, our mother sighed in relief. “It’s alright. His spirit isn’t injured.”
Closely after that, the doctor and the grandmaster started to examine Heller. Heller didn’t like strangers since he was young, nor did he like the cold white coat. Therefore, he just nodded and shook his head in silence.
“You’ve done well, little warrior.” Our father squatted down and stroked Heller’s hair. “Thanks to your timely judgment, an evil attack didn’t happen. You saved everyone here, my son. I’m proud of you.”
However, Heller lowered his head and whispered, “But I made you and Mom worry about me. We agreed not to use my ability rashly; however, I still did it.” “This is different, dear.” Our mother squeezed his shoulder comfortingly. “You’ve always kept our promise well. You used it this time because it was a crisis. You didn’t break the agreement. On the contrary, you made a rational and accurate judgment.”
At this point, I suddenly remembered the bottle in the man’s hand, so I asked what it was.
At the mention of the attack, our mother’s expression suddenly turned cold.
However, she didn’t seem to want to mention it to Heller and me. Therefore, she just told us to take a rest..
