Chapter 605: Garland and Garland
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yarin’s POV:
Around noon, the servant invited us to the dining room for lunch. The adults were also there. 1 saw that they were holding a wanted poster in their hands. “Who is this wanted person?”
“Lily of the Valley.” My dad handed me the poster with the garland of the Lily of the Valley printed on it: A withered and broken garland surrounded a bloody Lily of the Valley.
1 unconsciously tightened my grip on the rather tough piece of paper, and the garland symbol was slightly deformed.
He stole a glance at Lily, who seemed oblivious and was focused on enjoying the mutton pie in front of her.
After a short while, Heller suddenly tugged the corner of my clothes quietly, motioning me to get closer to him.
“Don’t you think this looks a little familiar?” he whispered in my ear.
Familiar?
1 carefully observed the symbol on the wanted poster and gradually felt I had seen it somewhere.
The garland… The garland…
That was right!
1 suddenly remembered that the ‘Garland City’ of the elves used a garland as their family emblem.
When I was young, Garland City often wrote letters to my mom. My mom said that although they were foreigners, there were also comrades she had fought with. They had always maintained a deep friendship.
However, when 1 was about eight or nine, the elves’ internal division became more intense, and their communication had to stop gradually.
1 hadn’t seen my mom receive letters or gifts from Garland City for years.
Although it was no longer the ancient times when communication was difficult, one could not expect the natural areas in chaos to be so diligent in building base stations. Once they stopped contacting each other, they would lose their only reliable contact method.
Speaking of which, the symbol on the wanted poster was similar to the family emblem of Garland City. For example, they were both made up of thirteen kinds of flowers, and single leaves were in similar places.
However, what could the human mafia have to do with the distant and isolated elves?
I decided to ask my parents, but I didn’t get the chance until the evening.
Apart from us, everyone had been busy all day. Even Alfred had been recruited to help deal with this terrorist attack. The sky was getting dark, and 1 could hear sirens from outside. It was the police patrolling the entire Silver Moon Pack.
My mom summoned Heller and me over. She looked tired. She immediately said at the sight of us, “Tomorrow morning, you will leave this place and go back to the Lycan Pack.”
“Us? Aren’t we going with Dad?” I looked around but didn’t see my dad. He must still be dealing with some matters.
“We have to stay. There’s no need for you to come. The Silver Moon Pack is no longer safe, and I cannot allow you to be in danger. The soldiers are gathering. They will escort you home, away from all danger.” 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
After hearing that our parents didn’t want to go with us, Heller and 1 had the same reaction; we would never agree with it.
“But we shouldn’t be separated, Mom! Since Silver Moon Pack is in danger, how can you and Dad stay here? What if, what if you encounter those vicious terrorists… No! You have to come with us!”
Facing our anxiety, our mom only smiled bitterly and bent down to hug us.
She said softly, “Thank you for your concern for Dad and my safety, but children, this is an obligation we must fulfill. The people are in danger. As the queen of the country, 1 will be finished if 1 run away from the battle and abandon the people to save my life.
“The people would not want a weak, selfish, and cowardly queen, and I am not willing to be a coward who compromises with criminals. So 1 have to stay. Your dad and I are husband and wife. He has to stay too. We must become the weighing stone in the people’s hearts and give them a sense of security in a crisis. This is what a leader must do.
“But you’re different. Yarin, Heller, you’re princes and kids. With your dad and me around, the heavy responsibility of shouldering the people’s expectations will not and should not be placed on you. However, from another perspective, you are also the reserve vice kings of the werewolves, my successors.
“Once 1 cannot fulfill my duties as a queen, with you all around, the regime can be smoothly transitioned, and the country will not be in great turmoil. The werewolves will not lose their leader and will not be in turmoil or even split apart like the elves. As the saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
“Children, your Dad and I have things to do, and you have responsibilities to bear – to ensure your safety and the werewolf pack has a successor.”
We threw ourselves into her arms, tears welling up in our eyes.
Although our mother tried her best to speak softly, her words still revealed how much danger Silver Moon Pack was currently in. This danger could even threaten everyone’s life, including her own!
How could I leave willingly? At the thought that my parents might get hurt or even… 1 felt as if my heart was bleeding.
Heller had already burst into tears. He tightly clutched our mom’s clothes and begged her not to make him leave..
