Chapter 258 - 9.31: The Family I wanted (Elduin)
A century and a half had passed since their marriage. The Elven Kingdom was at its golden age for a long time. King Elduin passed down the throne when he reached the age of one hundred to his second son, the new king, King Elrand Wynforest, and the golden age continued for another century.
Meanwhile, the former Elven King Elduin was now 171 years old. Unlike his past self, when he was proud and powerful, King Elduin was now old and cranky. Usually, an elf could live up to 200 years old. But perhaps, because he worked too hard when he was young, it took a toll on his health.
At the age of 171, Elduin was on his deathbed. He clenched his wife’s hand tightly, refused to let go. "Big Ero, I don’t think I can live any longer. Will you follow me to the afterlife? I don’t want to get separated from you. I want to be with you forever, Big Ero..."
Erolith was now 172 years old, but he looked better than Elduin. Probably because of the essence of the earth, or maybe because he simply lived a more leisure life compared to his husband. Erolith kissed Elduin’s cheek gently.
"I will never leave you, Elduin. If you leave me first, then I will follow you soon, do not worry," Erolith said.
Elduin stared at Erolith’s eyes, his wrinkly fingers tried to touch Erolith’s chest to feel his heart, and after he could feel the heartbeat of his loved one, Elduin smiled full of satisfaction. "Big Ero, at least, in this life, we got married and have kids. I am more than fulfilled."
"Please don’t make me wait too long, okay? I feel empty without you," Elduin said.
Erolith caressed Elduin’s head and replied. "I will never leave you alone, Elduin. Go rest first. I will follow soon."
