Chapter 98 Meeting New Members Of The Everheart Family
The next day, Aiden and Emma were preparing themselves to leave for the tournament in the Ravenwood territory.
Emma was excited and Aiden not so much which created a clear contrast between the two of them.
But, still, Aiden was happy that he was going to discover another place that isn’t anything like he had seen before.
Then, as both of them were ready, their [Mental Transmitor] vibrated and they both heard the same thing.
“Come to the front of the manor.”
They both did as Maelis had just said and quickly went in front of the manor.
Once again, there was a clear contrast on how much they were bringing over to the Ravenwood territory.
Aiden didn’t have much, in fact, he didn’t have anything except his dagger, no clothes, nothing.
Emma, on the other hand, has all the necessities that one would need when traveling.
They really were opposites of each other.
A couple of minutes later, they arrived in front of the manor and Aiden was surprised to see two people which he had never met before in his short stay at the Everheart manor.
One looked quite old with a beard and blue eyes. However, he didn’t have pointy ears which meant that he wasn’t an elf.
The other had pointy ears which indicated right away that he was an elf, his proud expression also told him so, he had long blonde hair and blue eyes.
He looked exactly like the stereotypical elf that we could find in novels and mangas.
“Oh, you must be the Legend of the Training Grounds,” said the old man, clearly making fun of that nickname.
“Aiden, call me Aiden, what’s yours?” asked Aiden still as rude as one might be.
“Oh, quite to the point, I see, I’m Gerald Everheart, you can call me Ger,” said the old man clearly to create some type of relationship between the two of them.
But Aiden only nodded when hearing that information.
Then, before Aiden would continue making a bad impression, Maelis quickly took over and made the elf present himself.
“Finrod Everheart, the one you replaced,” he said, clearly showing hostility while talking.
‘The one I replaced? Oh, it was probably the one that was going to participate in the tournament,’ thought Aiden clearly making sense of his comment.
But, he didn’t care about the hostility that the elf was showing as he responded in the way, even going as far as to provoke him.
“If youre talking about the tournament, then I was probably a better choice, that’s it.”
Those words made Finrod mad, as he knew that he was the second best.𝑛𝔬𝒱ℯ𝓁𝓷𝑒xt.𝗰𝓞𝓂
“What do you say? Want to try and fight me?” he said trying to provoke Aiden.
But, it was no success as Aiden only responded to his attempt with an emotionless face, not caring about what this guy was going to say.
There was probably a good reason that he had replaced him, and fighting amongst themselves probably wasn’t the best idea.
And he was right as Maelis started to calm the situation down.
“Calm down, both of you and Finrod you better respect him,” said Maelis showing her usual aggressive look.
This made him quickly shut his mouth.
Then, Maelis continued as she wanted to make a better presentation out of Gerald as he didn’t even reveal his role.
“And for your information, Gerald will be the one accompanying you in the city, protecting you all from unknown threats as I will probably be a little busy talking to other family leaders.”
Aiden and Emma both nodded when hearing this, but Emma added something as she was happy to see the old man.
“Ger, don’t be annoying alright,” she said giggling a little, which was unlike her usual public facade.
But what Aiden didn’t know was that Gerald had been close to Emma since her young age which was why she acted this way.
“I promise, little monster,” he said, also laughing.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom Finrod hearing their conversation was kind of shocked at the closeness between the two as he had never even seen Emma laugh in his entire life.
But, he came out of his thoughts hearing the voice of Maelis bringing them back to order.
“I think, it’s about time we leave, what do you say?” announced Maelis as she saw the excited look on all their faces, except on the one of Aiden and Gerald.
Gerald wasn’t excited as he had already visited the Ravenwoods territory.
Then, some weird vehicle appeared behind her, it had four wheels and an engine.
For someone who came from Earth the first thing that came to Aiden’s mind was that this vehicle was a car.
However it didn’t look like any car, it looked like a big van that you could see on the road on Earth.
But, he quickly thought otherwise when he looked at the back of the car where two gigantic propulsor could be seen, they looked really powerful probably capable of reaching a pretty impressive top speed.
‘It’s going to take one full day of travel using this?!’ thought Aiden, realizing that the world that he had been transmigrated into was incredibly massive.
“No way, can we really take this to go there?” asked Emma, her eyes brimming with excitement.
It looked like this type of vehicle wasn’t that common as Emma seemed quite surprised by it.
“Yes, we can. Aren’t I the best?” said Maelis, clearly proud to have found such a ride in the time restraint they had.
Then without responding, they all got aboard this weird vehicle which honestly didn’t look all that impressive to the eyes of Aiden.
He had seen way more impressive things than this since arriving in this world.
Then, the engine started, and the power of the two propulsors behind shocked Aiden who almost fell off his seat because of that.
This small scene caused a little giggle out of Emma, but she still controlled seeing that Aiden didn’t even look the least bit flustered.
“Well, what should we do to pass the time?” asked Ger, as he knew that one day would be quite a long time to wait by doing nothing.
