Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 260 A Symbol
Orun from where he stood, could see the vibrant colors of the trees and how they are orderly arranged.
There was a center to the trees and that center had a road leading all the way to the Elven castle that was constructed with a well defined material, bringing out the emerald colored castle and adding flavor to its shape.
The center of the trees is also the place where the elves had earlier lined up on each sides in respect to welcome Orun's presence.
The land from atop where Orun viewed it, looks very peaceful and unchaotic. Never would he have thought that a place like this could ever exist in this world.
After the glamorous entry and the honorary welcoming mood staged by the elves, Orun was escorted to the palace and given a room of his own to reside in.
He is to be taken care of before being brought over to the celebrating mood that have been prepared to officially welcome him, that is according to what was said by the Elven queen.
Orun still has doubts in his mind and is making sure to thread his path as carefully as it gets.
Thrown in a fancy large sized room full of diamond decorations, a bed that would be enough to fit in two Monryck sized, it's own personal toilet, washing room and a balcony where he can see how the outside world looks like.
It all sure looks tempting, sounds tempting, and definitely is tempting enough to have Orun ward off any doubts he has about the elves, but he is not buying any of that, nor is he going to fall for it so easily.
Until he gets to know the how, he is not going to fall for any of the charade, get too attached or comfortable with it.
"Lord Orun, may we come in".
Orun turned his attention over to the voice that came from behind the door asking him for permission.
"you may come in".
He said, getting himself up and walked his way out the balcony and into the room to sit on the couch.
"we have prepared the bath for you Lord Orun".
Two elf dressed in lemon and blue colored maid outfit pushed the door open and walked into the room.
They made certain to bow their heads to Orun before telling him of what brought them to him.
They said they have a bath prepared, but he wondered about the washing room that is just in the corner of the room, while they came from outside the room, still yet to go into the washing room.
Exactly what sort of bath or where he would be taking the bath is unknown since they are not referring to the washing room located in the corner of the room.
He was starting to get mentally stressed even though that is not possible. The thought of how this so called rich do their things is way too tiring for Orun to cope with.
"lead me there".
He reluctantly got up from his seat and got ready to follow them to where this so called bath is.
"what about my subordinates".
They had gone out of the room and are now walking in the hallway with Orun standing in between the two maids.
"you need not worry much Lord Orun. They are in safe hands, and are getting ready for the ball as you are".
They sound convincing, act convincing and even look convincing when talking about them.
Orun sensed no form of malice in their words spoken and was even beginning to think that he might have jumped too far in his denial of their nice act.
"why are you both so nice to me? You haven't met me before nor do you know me from somewhere, so why are you acting like this towards me? Or is this how all elfs are? Being so nice all the time".
It was starting to really bother Orun greatly. The elves are living inside of a barrier, isolating themselves from the outside world and the events going on in it.
He thought for a second that it might be the reason why the elves are being so nice, because they have yet to experience the harsh reality of life after being trapped in a fairy-tale world all their life.
"no Lord Orun. We are not just nice to everybody we meet for the first time".
"then why are you being nice to me".
"because Lord Orun is more than just anybody to us elves. You are a symbol, one we never thought we would get the chance of meeting in the flesh".
Honestly, the way the two maids were acting was starting to creep Orun out. They are like those stalkers who you have never met before, but they just so love you to the point where they start sending you creepy messages of how the inside of your apartment looks like or what color of underwear you are putting on.
It is all fun and games until they take it to the extreme of keeping a close eye on you, breathing down your neck and dictating every command like they own you, and you owe them.
He also has trouble understanding what they meant by him being a symbol, a symbol of what exactly? He has never met an elf before in his life, so how can he be a symbol for a race he has never met with.
"we are here".
One of the maid opened the door and got into the room then Orun went in, followed by the last maid before the door was shut back in.
"behind there is where you will take your bath Lord Orun".
The two maids had their hands stretched out after they pointed to where Orun needed to go to have his bath taken.
"no, my cloth stays with me".
Orun figured they were asking for him to take his clothing off so it can be hanged while he is taking his bath.
His clothing was made from his mana and not only does the job of covering up his nakedness, it also helps protect him from dangers.
There is no way he is just going to ever hand it over to them when he does not fully trust them just yet.
