Chapter 238 - 9.11
King Elduin walked back to the carriage with a bunch of fruits in his hands. Priest Erolith had been worrying about Elduin for a while, and when he saw the man emerged from the woods, he was relieved.
"Little Eld, I’m sorry for being harsh on you before. I just want you to be a good king. Elven King should not discriminate against other race because of their preference, as long as they did not harm the elves and the Sacred Tree," Priest Erolith said.
King Elduin stared at his Big Ero for a while, then he put the fruits near his Big Ero and smiled perfunctorily, "Yes, Big Ero. I know that you want the best for me. That’s why I will try my hardest to be the best. So you will not see anyone else."
"What do you mean?" Priest Erolith pondered. But King Elduin stayed silent and ate the fruits as his breakfast instead. Priest Erolith could only sigh, and they ate in silence together. In Erolith’s eyes, King Elduin was still the same Little Eld as before.
He was emotional, dedicated, and stubborn. One instance was when they were kids, Little Prince Elduin was angry at Erolith for having a study with a noble elven girl without inviting him together. The next day, the elven girl was not allowed to enter the noble school and had to study in regular elven school.
That always reminded him that King Elduin was very possessive of what he liked.
Priest Erolith smiled and gently patted Elduin’s head, "Little Eld, don’t get mad too much, okay? You are always a handful when you are mad."
"Hm," Elduin said, but his eyes glanced at Priest Erolith, and he had a thin smile on his face.
[Hm... why do I feel like, Elduin feels a bit different after he returned? Did Urduk do something to him?]
