The carriage passed through the gate right after Daryun showed the symbol of the kingdom of Rhone.
The castle was located at the centre of the Kingdom and thus it could take around five-six more hours to travel there. But they were never planning to go there in the first place since a separate place was arranged for all the invitees!
It was just an hour's destination now so there wasn't much time left. Furthermore, the gifts which they had brought was lost since they had left it in the carriage.
But that thought never crossed their minds. A small troop of Rhone was on their way anyway. They were bringing some more gifts and some clothes and essentials in those so there wasn't anything to worry about since they could give the gifts later.
"Ah, Rex, you were trying to say something right?", Elina asked.
The timing was totally off and the resolve which Rex had found was now lost.
"Ya, the thing that I wanted to say was that..."
"I actually love both of you a lot so please never hide anything from me or isolate me!"
He did a good job in changing what he had to say. His words touched Elina's heart because she never knew that what Rex felt was isolation.
That was the same for Alex too. He too made a sad face while thinking about it. But little did they know that Rex had spewed whatever came to his mouth!
Elina in fact hugged him and patted him.
"Yes, I won't isolate you... never ever...", she seemed sad now.
'Ugh. I literally destroyed their mood...', Rex realized that whatever he told was way off.
Despite that he was a bit happy since he was able to experience her love yet again.
Regardless, now he just waited for the time when he could tell them everything about himself.
An hour passed by soon and they were already near the grand hall where the party was supposed to be conducted.
"Your highness, we have arrived...", Daryun said politely right after which the carriage slowed down and then finally stopped.
"Alright...", he nodded his head and then immediately looked towards Elina and Rex.
"Come, let's get down."
On hearing that, Elina quickly got up and started to head down after opening the door of the carriage.
Although, Daryun had come to open the door, Elina did it beforehand because she too was excited to meet many of her friends with whom she had lost contact long ago.
Alex too walked out right after which Rex hopped out too.
All of them other than Elina were wearing quite extraordinary dress. Elina was just wearing some random clothing which she bought for emergency earlier.
Rex was wearing bright red royal clothes which were rather giving a shine. He was looking quite handsome in that.
Alex was also wearing a red colored flame like dress with a cape which was red too. He had long wavy hair unlike that of Rex whose hair was smooth.
"His highness, the Great Ruler Of Rhone, King Alexander Suoll has arrived!", the guard gave a shout right after looking at the crest which Daryun flashed.
All the people and guests had arrived days before and were inside chatting with each other, the moment the announcement was made, all the whispering vanished.
All of them just gulped a large amount of saliva and waited for Alex's appearance.
As mentioned earlier, there was no one among the Kings who hadn't heard about Alexander's Conquests and fights after all, he was the leading figure of their generation.
He was probably the strongest king in the continent and in the World, he would be easily placed in top ten ranking which was by no means ordinary.
So all of their hearts were racing to just have a glance of such a great emperor because many of them hadn't seen him for quite long or some hadn't seen him even once.
'Tap Tap Tap'
Alex made his appearance by slowly walking in. The moment he walked in, many of them were quite shocked.
That was because of the elegance which he showed while just walking. Many females were present there including Queens of many different kingdoms and many Princesses who were around 19-21 years of age.
All of them had lost their hearts to him just with a glance. His red hair which fluttered as he walked seemed quite beautiful.
It seemed as if he was covered with some golden light for a few moment. All of their attention was towards him.
They were completely awed by seeing him walk in. But what they were even more surprised was by seeing Elina who was his wife.
At first they failed to recognize her and most of them thought that she was some slave because she was wearing quite a mediocre like pinkish green dress.
But it was only when Alex extended his hand and held her did they find out that she was none other than the Queen Elina herself.
The bright blue hair of her was like that of the vast ocean which showed both kindness and varying depth.
Her gleaming blue jewel like eyes were quite attractive. Many of the males that is many Kings, Barons and others fell for her right away despite the lowly dress which she wore.
Her fair complexion was what triggered their hearts to beat faster.
Silence had completely taken over the hall and they had indeed become the center of attraction.
No one dared to even approach them because it was not that easy to talk to someone so high. But it seemed like one person walked towards them regardless of what others thoughts.
"Alex! What took you so long!?", a handsome man at his thirties with his blonde to bright yellow hair walked towards Alex while opening his arms wide.
Alex too moved towards him and hugged him tightly.
"Elendo!", Alex exclaimed.
The person who walked towards Alex and greeted him was none other than Elendo, the current King of the Kingdom of Estelia.
Along with him, his wife, Queen Seria, walked towards Alex and greeted him too.
After the hug and a few exchange of words Elendo then slowly pulled Elina's hand and kissed it which was quite normal for the royals to do
"May you be pretty and healthy forever...", he said.
"Thank you, I hope the same for you too.", was what Elina replied with.
The same thing had happened on Alex's and Seria's side. They too greeted each other in a similar fashion.
Then both of them started to chat with each other. The silence was broken and then many others walked towards Alex and Elina and started talking.
"Tsk, what is so good about her other than her face?"
"I'm sure that King Alexander realized that and because of that he didn't provide her with a good dress...", a few other Queens who had life long crush on Alex while they were kids said this out of jealousy.
Elina could hear this but she didn't oppose or contradict even by a bit. Only the males were approaching her but then latter, she was all alone.
The only one who was with her was none other than her best friend Queen Seria.
"So tell me Eli, how have you been?"
"Did something happen on your way here?"
"And-"
Seria's question didn't end and it seemed like Elina answered to all of them. It was only these two who were chatting with each other.
At the same time...
"Young master, do you really don't want to go inside?", Daryun asked Rex sincerely.
"Nope, I don't want to...", Rex denied almost immediately.
"Huh...? But why...", Daryun was confused. Of course, Daryun thought about Rex because he thought that this would be an amazing opportunity for Rex to make some friends.
However, he never thought the same way as Rex.
"Sigh, I'm not that strong..."
"If I go in I will be ridiculed by everyone...", was what Rex said.
"...", Daryun didn't utter even a single word after hearing that.
He was speechless, indeed he had no idea that Rex was having such a feeling all along.
"I'm sorry young master, I was careless...", Daryun regretted for what he said right now.
He didn't want to make Rex feel bad but he thought that he did something similar right now.
Rex who was sitting in the huge garden and talking to Daryun, thought about lying down because he was a bit sleepy.
"Well then Daryun Uncle, if mom or dad summons me, wake me up..."
*yawns*
Right after saying this, he lied down on the soft grass rather than the benches that were placed nearby and closed his eyes to take a nap.
"..."
