Chapter 11 - Tragedy In Latreess

Alvin was sitting on a bench in the park. His eyes looked at the blue sky in the sky.

It had been 8 days since my arrival in this place. Altavis family welcomed me warmly. They didn't even care about my different race. I don't regret living here with my new family. My parents have given me the opportunity to live with a new destiny. I can never repay the struggle and sacrifice they have made for me.

Alvin closed his eyes and remembered the events that had happened at that time.

[The moment before Alvin was forcibly teleported to the continent of Azvel]

Elf territory, Latreess Kingdom, the continent of Reavel.

Boom!

A huge explosion had occurred. The explosion had destroyed and burned the houses in the capital.

The demon king's army in collaboration with the dragons had attacked the kingdom of Latreess.

"Destroy this disgusting elf territory!"

Mass panic had occurred. People scattered for safety and some chose to fight back.

Clang! Boom! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of clashing swords, explosions, and destroyed houses could always be heard.

The mournful screams of all the elves in the capital were also heard.

The demons and dragons were killing all the elves without mercy.

Alvin saw all the events clearly from the palace. He was very shocked to see the capital filled with smoke that rose high into the sky. The explosions from the dragons' sprays could also be seen and heard by him clearly.

"Alvine, get out of here! Let us face all the dragons and demons!"

The man who spoke to him was Alvin's father and the king who led the Latreess kingdom, Atlasion Dass'el Latreess.

"But father, why did they attack us?"

"The demon king and the dragon king wanted you to be his wife. But, I rejected their proposals."

"Is that the only reason they attacked us?"

"Actually, there is still one more reason!"

"What do they want?" Alvin pressed.

"They want the heirloom that we have been-"

Boom! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The huge explosion that occurred had destroyed the palace wall. This caused King Atlasion and all his soldiers to prepare for battle.

"Hahaha. Finally, I've made it here!"

A loud voice rang out from behind the clouds of dust and smoke from the massive explosion that had occurred in the palace.

"Form up and protect His Majesty!" the elven commander ordered.

All soldiers formed a formation to protect King Atlasion.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps was also heard. Slowly, the footsteps approached them. From behind the smoke appeared a man with a pair of black horns, a pair of pointed ears and a pair of wide black wings on his back.

"What did you do to my kingdom, Hazellios?" shouted the king of Atlasion angrily.

That person was a demon king named Hazellios Exaras Devillan

"You're asking me about that? I warned you to hand over the heirloom to us! It would be very dangerous if the elves held it!"

"What did you say? You are the ones who are very dangerous if you use the heirloom!"

The demon king Hazellios ignored the king Atlasion's words. He looked at Alvin with an evil grin he showed him.

Alvin glared at him with anger.

"Hahaha. Why are you staring at me like that? Do you love me already?"

"I will never marry a villain like you! You are disgusting!" Alvin replied angrily.

The demon king Hazellios just laughed in a very loud voice.

The entire elf army was preparing to attack him. However...

Thud! Thud! Thud!

All the soldiers were lying on the floor with their heads cut off.

Alvin was shocked to see all the soldiers die suddenly.

What did he do? With just his gaze, they all died beheaded like this?

"Hazellios, you are truly a savage! I swear I will kill you here!" King Atlasion shouted angrily.

"Hahaha. Just try if you can. I will kill him first!"

King Hazellios stared at Alvin.

From his eyes appeared an invisible slash.

Thud!

Alvin sat on the floor after being pushed by his father. He saved Alvin from the invisible slash.

"Get out of here, Alvine!" His father's command was firm.

Alvin immediately left the throne room.

Demon King Hazellios did not let him escape.

Zrash!

The invisible slash had slashed Alvin's back.

"Aghhh!!!" He fell to the floor with a gaping wound on his back.

The furious King Atlasion immediately attacked him with various kinds of magic.

Set! Set! Set! Set!

He dodged all the magic attacks with ease.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bang!

"Hahaha."

Demon King Hazellios continued to laugh as he continued to dodge the attacks.

Alvin stood up and ran. But in front of him were several of Demon King Hazellios' subordinates, ready to attack him.

"Kill him!" King Hazellios ordered.

Zrash!

Two swords pierced his stomach.

"ALVINEEEEEE....!!!!!!!!!" King Atlasion shouted.

Zrash!

The two demons were killed by his wind magic.

King Atlasion approached Alvin who was covered in blood.

The demon king Hazellios continued to laugh seeing Alvin who was lying helplessly.

Alvin looked at his father's face who was very worried about him.

"F-Father... I'm sorry..."

"Alvine, you won't die! Believe me, you will survive!"

King Atlasion activated random teleportation magic for Alvin. A bright light had appeared right under Alvin's sprawled body.

"Hahaha. Do you think he will survive? You used that random teleportation for nothing."

King Atlasion whispered something to Alvin and surprised him but he could no longer maintain his consciousness.

His vision went dark.

"Alvin, why are you here?"

The call had brought Alvin back to reality.

"M-My dear? Why are you here?"

Kazien wiped his tears then looked at Alvin's cute face. His gaze was filled with worry for the high elf.

"I'm the one asking you. Why are you crying alone here? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm just remembering my hometown being attacked by the demon king's army and the dragons."

Kazien was surprised to hear the answer.

So, that's what made him cry here?

"My father shared his life energy with me, who was already badly injured, and sacrificed his life for me."

Kazien moved a chair and sat next to him.

"I understand how you feel. But don't ever waste your father's sacrifice. If you want to be sad, be sad. But after that, you have to get up! Don't always be drowning in the shadows of your past!"

Alvin leaned his head on Kazien's shoulder, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Can I cry for my father's sacrifice?"

"Just cry and let out all the sadness you've been holding in! I'll always be here with you."

"Won't I be insulting his sacrifice?"

"If you're sad, cry to relieve your burden. But remember, don't let yourself get lost in the dark memories of your past! Once you've cried enough, get up and live your life as your father would have wanted!"

All the sadness he had been suppressing about his father and his hometown exploded. Alvin wept uncontrollably beside Kazien.

Father, thank you for everything. Thanks to you, I found a future husband who loves me sincerely. His family has also welcomed me sincerely and warmly. I really like this family.

I swear I will not waste your sacrifice! And one day, I will take revenge on the Devillan kingdom and those dragons!

A few moments later, Alvin stopped crying and looked at Kazien's face beside him.

Kazien wiped his tears and said: "Are you done crying over your father's sacrifice?"

"Yes!" He answered briefly.

"Do you feel relieved?" he asked again.

Alvin nodded.

"Then you have to get up. I don't want to see your sad face like this. Right now, I am by your side and I will always support you."

"Even if one day I want to take revenge on them?" Alvin asked reassuringly.

"Of course! I will always be by your side and accompany you to take revenge. One day, we will get there!"

Kazien held his cheek gently. He said: "For now, live without thinking about that tragedy anymore."

Alvin hugged him tightly.

"I am so grateful to have a future husband like you who cares and loves me so much. Please don't ever leave me alone in this world."

"I promised you that I would never leave you. How could I bear to leave a cute man like you alone?"

Kazien stroked her golden hair gently. "Alvin, I love you so much. And forever, I only want to be with you!"

"Me too! I love you so much too. Forever, I want to be with you!"
