Transferred to the other world of Auralel

Chapter 24 - Nobility & The Truth

(A/N: I am currently looking for someone that would be willing to do some fan-art of characters from the story, just so it seems more personal with the audience. Also I am trying to do my best to get a lot of chapters out right now to make up for my long break.)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am currently eating my lunch with Sana. I am having a stew, while she is eating one of the many sweet-buns that she keeps in her dimensional storage. The stew was pretty good, the meat was collected from Orcs, and was prepared in a way so that it was super tender. It almost felt like the meat was melting when I put it in my mouth.

We spent a few minutes like this, happily eating in the diner part of 'The Feathered Harpy'. In fact I even ended up ordering a second helping of my Orc Stew.

After we had finished eating at the inn, we stepped outside and saw that the sun was currently high in the sky. We figured it might be time that we should head to the castle to finally meet with the king about receiving our rewards for rescuing his daughter, the princess.

However, it seems there were new guards at the gate today, compared to the ones from yesterday. They had pointed their weapons towards us, asking what business we had in the castle. Instead of trying to take the time to explain everything to the two men, I pulled out the token given to me by the king, holding the Cilvine Family Crest on it.

They were still somewhat cautious, so I handed the token over to one of them and let them examine it themselves. It seems they were still reluctant to let me in, however, since I was holding the royal token, they begrudgingly stood aside and opened the gate for me. Well, I can't really fault them for the way they were acting. They were just doing their job after all.

So, after dealing with the guards, we then walked the same path that we were shown by Fhuran yesterday, to return to the throne room. When we entered the throne room, what we saw was many individuals sitting upon different thrones, each one was designed differently from the other. Then we saw the fox king sitting upon his throne, that was decorated in a way to represent the Fox-Clan. Usually a person would feel somewhat intimidated, standing here among these many kings of the beastmen races. However, I would participate in the talent shows at my school, back on Earth, and I would always bring an instrument to play a song that I had just recently learned. So I don't really feel that intimidated having all of these eyes on me.

After walking to the center of the room, I faced the fox king, and got down on one knee with my head bowed as a sign of respect.

"Raise your head, young fox." (Fox King)

"Are these two the adventurers that you had spoken of, Fox King Sebastian?" (Wolf King)

"Yes, these are the ones I had mentioned, the ones who defeated a dragon, and risked their lives to save my daughter in the process." (Sebastian)

"I see....Well the young girl, definitely does radiate an air of power and maturity. However, the male doesn't seem to be all that impressive...Is it possible that they might have made up the story about saving your daughter, in hopes of getting in your good graces?" (Wolf king)

"I agree with wolf king Dehn. How can we be sure that the story told by these two is even true? Is there any evidence to back them up?" (Feline King (Tiger))

"I assumed the same thing when I was first explained the situation by Fhuran. However, I had spoke with my daughter after these two had left the castle yesterday, and she was able to recount the entire battle from beginning to end. She said that these two hold such immense power, that it would be unwise for us to make enemies of them." (Sebastian)
