Chapter 391 To the capital again
Chapter 391 To the capital again
After a few more days, we were finally heading off to the capital.
Scar had wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the dwarves had other plans.
They kept me in the town, forcing me to go to the forge with them for a few days before they finally accepted going to the capital.
As for the reason why…
It was because Scar told them that the best forges were in the capital.
If it wasn’t for that, they wouldn’t have bothered going to the capital even though they were an ambassador group.
He also looked at me with bitter gazes during these days as if he was blaming me, but I acted like I didn’t see them at all.
When we headed off, there was a parade that sent us off.
I was happy to see this because it seemed like the dwarves had made quite a few friends during this time that were sending them off.
The dwarves also were sad to leave this place, which showed that they had formed a connection here.
This would be important for the future…
In case anything happened, my backup plan was the dwarves after all.
I would move into the Dwarven Kingdom if anything happened with this human kingdom I was currently in.
It didn’t take us long to travel to the capital this time.
Instead of slowly taking our time, we passed through each of the towns and cities without a problem.
That was because Scar had taken out a royal decree to let us pass.
There were lords that had wanted to stop us when they heard that we came with a group of dwarven ambassadors, but there was nothing that they could do in front of the royal decree.
So in just four days we had reached the capital.
It was also different this time when we arrived.
Last time, we followed the queue to enter the city.
This time, an entire gate had been closed and there was a parade that was prepared.
There was a group of armoured guards that came to escort us through that parade and to the castle.
This was all because we came with the dwarven ambassadors.
But it was clear by the looks on the faces of the dwarves that they didn’t like this.
They liked making things rowdy, but when things were too formal like this, it had the opposite effect.
Being guarded by these elite guards made them cautious rather than allowing them to relax.
They would have preferred entering the city at their own pace and then seeing the king when they were ready, but now they were being escorted over. It was almost like they had been turned into zoo animals for the humans to stare at.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I was here, they might have already left…
Scar could also see this, so he pushed me forward to talk to them and appease them.
It was a good thing that I was able to calm them down in the end, or else this might have ended very poorly.
Luckily, the guards also didn’t stall them for too long and led them right to the castle.
When they arrived, the prime minister himself was actually outside waiting for them.
Other than the king, this was the highest ranking person that could have come out.
And of course, the king wouldn’t personally come out to greet the guests even if they were ambassadors from another kingdom.
That was the bottom line when it came to the king’s prestige.
So it was the prime minister who stepped up.
It was clear that the kingdom was putting quite the importance on this matter.
As soon as the prime minister saw the carriage coming towards the castle, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Then when we came out, he stepped forward to greet the dwarves.
It was just too bad that he had completely misread the situation.
He approached the male dwarves and said, “Welcome, guests from the Dwarven Kingdom. I would like to officially welcome you to our Misfid Kingdom.”
That was his one and most important mistake.
This also showed just how unfamiliar he was with the dwarves.
But that couldn’t be blamed on him since the dwarves liked to keep to themselves in the first place.
He had assumed that these male dwarves were the ones that led this ambassador group instead of Elsa.
However, could that be blamed on him?
It wasn’t that he was looking down on her as a woman, but…
It was a bunch of short hairy men and one little girl.
In this situation, would one assume that the little girl was the one in charge by human standard?
This was the design of that one wicked designer harming the people of this world again.
One of the male dwarves gave a cough before saying, “I think that you’ve made a mistake here.”
The prime minister couldn’t help revealing a surprised and confused look when he heard this.
He looked at the other dwarves with the same confused look as he didn’t know what was happening here.
What mistake did he make?
Elsa gave a cough and said, “Thank you for the warm welcome. I am Elsa, the leader of this group and the Dwarven King’s sister.”
When the prime minister heard this, he couldn’t help looking at her in shock.
After all, he had thought that she was one of the children of the other dwarves…he never thought that she would be the one leading the ambassador group.
He couldn’t help looking at Scar who just gave a nod to confirm it.
After giving a cough to hide his embarrassment, the prime minister quickly recovered as he said with a warm smile, “Miss Elsa, it is an honour to meet you.”
He reached his hand out towards her as he said this.
Elsa just took his hand and shook it before saying, “It’s an honour to meet you as well.”
The prime minister couldn’t help revealing an awkward look.
After all he had reached his hand out so that he could kiss her hand…but all he received was a handshake.
It seemed that there was still much for him to learn about dwarven society…
