chapter-1435
Jaylen did not like the first trip, and he did not like the return trip even more. He was forced to close his eyes with how fast Maldros was. There was no way for him to tell how long he had been flying.
The moment he could open his eyes. He was already back at The Capital. But he still felt like it was a long journey.
The bad part did not end there as Maldros dropped him without saying anything. He had been flying for a while, so he could not keep his balance and almost fell. That would be embarrassing if he fell in public.
Fortunately, there was a kind soul that helped him from falling. Someone caught him, and he soon realized it was an elf soldier.
"Are you okay, Sir Jaylen?" The soldier addressed him respectfully.That was just a simple question, and yet, that hit him hard. The realization that he had been taking everything for granted. The realization came after he was treated just like a nobody before, similar to a slave. Now he appreciated the soldier who addressed him respectfully.
"Thank you, Soldier!" Jaylen straightened himself, trying to shake off his dizziness from the crazy flight. If it was the old him, he would not thank the soldier. Back then, he thought it was one of the soldier's duties. There was no need to thank the soldier for such a simple matter.
An hour-long journey taught him to appreciate his status even more. An hour trip that taught him a life lesson. Ironic, but that was the truth. It made him appreciate his status more than before.
As he got rid of the dizziness from the crazy flight, he then realized a lot of army around. He made sure that he was not dropped in the Osligia Kingdom's barrack. And he was not, he was at The Temple of Light's square.
Battalions of soldiers were ready to fight, and that scared him a little, "What happened?" He thought there might be a conflict again with Sir Tang Shaoyang's people. If that was the case, he must persuade The King not to fight Sir Tang Shaoyang.
"From what I heard, Sir Hemlin from The Adventurer Guild came to the temple and asked for Sir Tang Shaoyang's whereabouts. He attacked the Black Dragon and also Sir Tang Shaoyang's summon."
Jaylen immediately ran through the soldier. There was a fear in his mind that The King would side with Sir Hemlin and fight Sir Tang Shaoyang instead. If that was the case, then he must do his best to persuade King Manasa.He worried for nothing as he saw The King standing on the side, looking at Sir Hemlin talking to Sir Tang Shaoyang. He overheard the conversation. They were talking about dungeons. Then he was shocked to hear what Sir Hemlin called Sir Tang Shaoyang.
His eyes widened in shock as he heard it again. Sir Hemlin was called Sir Tang Shaoyang Master, then later changed into Your Majesty. That showed the status between the two. Sir Hemlin served Sir Tang Shaoyang. A God from the Adventurer Guild served Sir Tang Shaoyang.
That was a shocking revelation for him. It seemed it was not just him, but everyone nearby was shocked to know that. That just proved how scary Sir Tang Shaoyang was.
They did not disperse until Sir Tang Shaoyang left with Sir Hemlin.

King Manasa sat on his throne, lamenting the future of his kingdom. Without the barrier, The Osligia Kingdom must be prepared for the aggression from the neighboring kingdoms. It would be just a matter of time before the words of The Osligia Kingdom lost Goddess Lunea's blessing spread out.
They needed to prepare for the worst. It was a known fact that those filthy humans loved to keep elves as their pets and sex slaves. Even with the barrier, a group of poachers kept coming, trying their luck to kidnap the elf.
It would be worse without the barrier. More people would be more daring and bolder with their attempts. Another issue was that Sir Tang Shaoyang did not like him after what they had done. He made the worst first impression.
The door to the throne opened without any warning. That irritated him even more. He was plagued with the future problem, there was an insolent fool entering his room without notifying him.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Jaylen rushed toward The King.
King Manasa calmed down when he noticed it was Jaylen. The Head of Dungeon Management was one of his close aides.
"Better it's not about dungeons, Jaylen. I don't really have time for that!" The King shook his head.
"No! It's about the future of our kingdom! I have a proposal in mind," Jaylen came closer to the throne, What do you think if we, The Osligia Kingdom, serve Sir Tang Shaoyang just like the Adventurer Guild and The Temple of Light!"
He came not without doing his research first. He asked the priests and the knights. They told him that The Temple of Light was now part of the Tang Empire.
Jaylen found out that Sir Tang Shaoyang was The Emperor of The Tang Empire. He knew King Manasa was stressed out about losing the protection from Goddess Lunea. But then they had stronger protection than Goddess Lunea herself. Sir Tang Shaoyang was the best option for the elf's future.
Jaylen was also aware of the problems The Osligia Kingdom would face the moment the barrier disappeared. But it was different if they gained Sir Tang Shaoyang's protection. The Temple of Light and The Adventurer Guild would protect them as well as The Tang Empire.
King Manasa's eyes brightened with the idea. That was indeed the best option for them, but then he frowned.
"But Sir Tang Shaoyang hates us for what happened earlier…." The King lost confidence, remembering Sir Tang Shaoyang hated them. He knew Sir Tang Shaoyang hated them, but he pretended not to notice it.
"But we must try even if Sir Tang Shaoyang hates us. Or if you are willing, we can tie our relationship with Sir Tang Shaoyang by marrying the First Princess to Sir Tang Shaoyang. Sir Tang Shaoyang is actually a human, not a dragon. He is a human with a Dragon Bloodline!"
