Chapter 292: Come to the Lair, we have free real estate for everyone!
"Whoaa..." I stared at the messenger bird in awe, even after it dispersed and turned into a letter.
That was the skill I wanted to learn from the druid. It was a homing message, so it could find the recipient wherever that person was. It also didn’t have to be in the shape of a bird; it could be in any shape of animals, including the four-legged one, or even those without legs and aquatic creatures. But the bird was more popular because it could traverse the distance faster--there were fewer obstacles in the sky after all.
And good thing Amarein chose a flying shape, since it came right when we were riding Vrida. As the wyvern flew toward the cliffside, I opened the letter eagerly. It was written in beautiful penmanship and common human language.
Ah...I should hurry and learn the language used in the realm of nature too!
Hmm...was this why these three realms couldn’t get along? Because of a language barrier? Would things become better if everyone used the same language, just as the people of the Old Age used to speak in the Old Tongue?
Oh, this was not the time to think about that. I looked down and started to read the letter.

My beloved nephew,
Valen
The knowledge regarding Lord Natha taking you to be his betrothed was already in my possession. Nevertheless, it is rather a surprise for me that the ceremony will be held that quickly. Needless to say, the Chief Counsel is in an uproar upon this news.
But of course, as your family, I would like to congratulate you on making this decision with great stride. I wish nothing but happiness upon you, my dear Valen.
