Chapter 135 Back To Asaka

How did Maya and Felix Blackstone feel about having two elves inside their house? Well, the right word to use would be uncomfortable, they were uncomfortable to have elves in their home but what could they do about it since these two elves had been the reason why their beloved son was still alive.

Jude had managed to get home without getting seen by anyone, he knew people would freak out if they saw the elves and that was why he had maneuvered his way around.

Right now Tauriel and Tuchel were in the Blackstone's living room while Maya and Felix kept looking at them from the dining room.

There was absolute silence in the room until Jude came through the door.

"How is he?" Tauriel stood up to ask.

"He's okay, no internal injuries, just some cuts on his body."

"Okay," Tauriel said as she sat down.

The person in question was Carl who Jude had immediately taken to the Healing center when they got here and he had not returned till now that everywhere had gone dark.

"You're aware that this kingdom is in danger now," Tuchel said.

"What do you mean?" Jude asked.

"Ashburn," Tuchel said. "Maybe if you had escaped alone he would have let it go but now that the two of us are here."

"It's the perfect tool for his allegation." Tauriel completed.

"Then why don't you two just go home," Maya said.

She had been listening to the conversation and had decided to join in.

"What part of betraying our people didn't you get? Woman" Tuchel felt like screaming.

"Tuchel." Tauriel tried to calm him down.

Jude looked at the male elf for a while before turning to his mother.

"They can't go, home mom, if they do they'll get killed and I won't allow the people that risked their lives to save mine to be stranded in the wilderness," Jude said.

Most of those words were meant for Tauriel but Tuchel did help them at the last minute.

"But.."

"No buts mom they are staying and I'm not asking you to take care of them," Jude said. "You should be grateful I'm alive."

Jude kept his gaze on his mother for a while before turning to face the exit door.

"I need some fresh air." He said and walked through the door shutting it behind him.

There was a long bench under the large tree in front of the Blackstone's home but Jude had dragged it out from under the tree so he could see the moon while sitting.

'I thought Tania would be home by now but still hasn't, I just hope nothing bad has happened to her.'

He heard someone approaching him from behind and quickly turned to see Tauriel.

"It's just me," Tauriel said.

? Jude didn't say anything as he turned back to face the moon. Tauriel quietly took a seat beside him and joined him in looking at the moon.

"You know someone could see you out here," Jude commented with his gaze still on the moon.

"It's nighttime, aren't they supposed to be asleep?" Tauriel said.

"You're right but in this kingdom, some people never sleep," Jude said this time his eyes darted towards her, but what he was specifically looking at was her ears.

Elves looked exactly like humans; the only difference the two races had were the long and pointy ears the elves possessed, it wasn't super tall and Tauriel's was one of the shortest he had seen but the pointy feature was there to clarify her race.

"Let's see if we can cover that," Jude said.

He reached for her hair trying to see if there was any way it could cover her ears completely but the pointy part would still protrude through it.

"I thought that would work." Jude sounded disappointed as he turned towards their cloth rail and that was when his eyes caught something.

"Where are you going?" Tauriel asked as she tried to straighten her hair which Jude had messed up.

Jude didn't say anything as he walked to the cloth rail and returned with a black beanie in his hand.

"This belongs to my sister but you can have it, for now, it will definitely cover your ears," Jude said, handing her the beanie.

"Okay," Tauriel said as she took the beanie from him and put it on. "Thank you."

Her hair was too long to be entirely covered or rolled into the beanie but that didn't matter as long as it did its job of covering her ears.

"Now you look exactly human," Jude said. "That takes care of a problem."

"Yeah," Tauriel said with a smile. "This smells like honey mixed with coconut."

Jude's face went back to sad after hearing what Tauriel had just said and he turned to face the moon again.

"What's wrong?" Tauriel asked.

"Honey and coconut." There was a pause after he said that. "That's exactly how my sister smells." He added.

Now Tauriel knew why his mood had suddenly gone sour, his sister was still missing.

"We'll find your sister," Tauriel said as she placed her hands on top of his. "I promise to help you with that."

Jude just nodded as he kept staring at the moon and soon Tauriel joined him to stare at the moon.

Tuchel was enjoying his sleep on the leather seat in the living room when he felt someone tap him, he ignored it hoping whoever that was would go away but the tap came the second time.

He sprung with anger to see his twin sister staring down at him.

"Good morning Tuch," Tauriel said with a smile.

"What is that? Tuchel said pointing at her head.

"Oh this, it's a beanie to cover my ears," Tauriel said. "Here put this one on." She said throwing a silver-colored beanie to her brother.

"I don't put on hats," Tuchel said refusing to pick the beanie up.

"Well it's either that or you cut down your ears and I do not think you would prefer the latter," Tauriel said. "Put it on please, if people see your ears they might make a really huge fuss."

"Are you ready yet?" Jude asked after walking into the room.

"Just a second," Tauriel said as she picked up the beanie and put it on her brother's head by force. "Ok, we are ready now."

"Where are we going?" Tuchel asked.

"We are going to help Jude find his sister," Tauriel said.

"I thought he couldn't find her here," Tuchel said as he approached the door.

*Because he didn't look properly and frustratingly rode into goblin territory."

"Yeah, let's hope we don't get frustrated today," Jude said as he pulled the door open but he quickly shot it back and turned back to Jude and Tauriel.

"What happened?" Jude asked as he walked closer to the door.

"Why don't you see for yourself," Tuchel said.

Jude sighed as he pulled the door open and now he could see the reason Tuchel had quickly shut the door.

There were five horses in front of the house and one of those horses was a royal knight.

"Jude Blackstone, you are to return with us to the King's castle along with the strangers you brought in yesterday. This is an order from the king." The royal knight spoke.

Jude's heart skipped a beat as he heard that, the same could be said about the other two inside.

'How did they find out?'
