Chapter 539 INVITATION

"However, I must inquire about the group of powerful magicians who are guarding the gate to the Woodland Realm." "..." Veronica licked her lower lip. With the corner of her eyes, she looked at Urulas.

Urulas stayed expressionless. However, he was also staring at her with the corner of his eyes. He seemed guilty.

Even though he tried so hard not to let his father find out about Arthur's army, his father still found out. Veronica couldn't blame Urulas. He had already done everything he could. He was very grateful that he had helped her to save Catherine. She just couldn't ask for more.

King Erestor Culnámo was the wisest ruler on earth. Some wizards were guarding the gate to the Elven Realm, there was no way he wouldn't find out. It would be rather odd if he didn't find out.

Veronica said, "I apologize for my husband's action. They are harmless people. He's simply worried about me and brought a few people with him. I will go now and take him and our people with me."

"That's not necessary," King Erestor Culnámo stated. "I understand that a husband worries about his wife. He and his 'harmless friends' can come here and see how we treat you in our land. This way, he'll be less worried in the future."

Veronica didn't know what he was scheming but his 'harmless people' phrase made her ears burn in shame. She was clearly being mocked by the wisest ruler in the world.

Veronica forced herself to keep her composure and said, "Since Your Majesty wishes for it, I will comply."

Afterward, she came out of the throne room. Urulas immediately apologized.

"Veronica, I'm sorry. I should have been careful."

Veronica shook her head. "It's not your fault. You have already helped me more than I hoped you could. I will talk to my husband. Help me open the gate."

"Sure," Urulas agreed right away.

When the gate was opened, Veronica entered the Human Realm. She found some tents near the lake. The wizards came around to see what was happening in the lake. When they saw their Mistress in one piece, they couldn't help but rejoice.

Their Mistress didn't bother to look at them. She scanned the crowd and spotted what she was looking for.

"Arthur!"

She dashed forward and jumped at her man.

Arthur was talking to Zinnia and Darius. When he heard a commotion, he was turning around to look when a light body crashed on him.

"You are a blabbermouth when you are drunk and everyone knows it." When Zinnia saw Darius was opening his mouth to retort, she added, "We all witnessed it. No point in arguing."

Fine! No more talk!

Darius sealed his mouth.

Veronica giggled. Seeing her smiling so brightly made Arthur happy as well.

He looked around and asked her, "Why are Ovior and the rest not with you?"

"Actually..." Veronica scratched her nose. She told him that King Erestor Culnámo had invited them.

Arthur creased his eyebrows. He was in deep thought.

"Should we go?" Merlin was skeptical. He openly shared his opinion, "I don't think I would be the brightest idea."

"It won't be nice if we don't accept his hospitality either," Veronica reminded them.

Arthur said, "Let's just do this..."

In the end, Veronica brought Arthur and a few of the magicians with them.

King Erestor Culnámo wanted to welcome them directly. Urulas escorted them to the Throne Room.

"So, you have come," King Erestor Culnámo said as his eyes glued on Arthur's face.

Arthur didn't have any reaction. He slightly moved his head forward, made it look like it was a bow but actually it wasn't.

"Thank you for inviting us in your Elven Realm, Your Majesty," he said. "It's a pleasure."

King Erestor Culnámo narrowed his eyes. "Pleasure," he curtly replied.

From the look of it, none of them liked each other.

Veronica was tense. 'Are they going to start a fight?'
