Chapter 17.5- Mother Nature

The crowd's expression relieved upon hearing the messenger's good news. Cheers and shouts can be heard throughout the entire castle.

" Silence!!!" Griffin shouted and applied a sound enhancement skill to strengthen the volume. Everyone's ears nearly went deaf. They did not expect Griffin to have this side because he was always known for his calm and gentle attitude.

" Stella please proceed outside to greet the hero." Griffin thought Stella's beauty mixed with her calm and cheerful attitude would make her the perfect to welcome the hero.

Outside the gate,

Kazuki and his team was still waiting for someone from the castle to fetch them. They've been waiting for more than 30 minutes and Kazukis patience is almost running out. As he was about to ask the guards about the time, a portal opened in front of him and came out a beautiful lady.

" I'm Stella, also known as the celestial bride. I welcome you to the Holy Capital dear hero." her stance was very graceful and elegant. One could fall in love at first sight seeing her.

" Wheres Gamel?" except for Kazuki that is. He's more interested in meeting Gamel because he was curious about the reason why she had a sadistic side.

" Lady Gamel's at the Elven forest but, master Griffin is at the castle." she said politely. She knew that if she would show rudeness towards Kazuki, the entire kingdom would be in trouble when the war begins.

" I see, then let's go." Kazuki said in a plain tone. His tone made Stella a little upset because this was the first time that someone ignored her beauty. She gave a small pout and entered the portal.

On the other side, Griffin was standing there getting ready to greet them.

" We welcome you dear heroes." Griffin said with a smile.

" Pardon me but where is miss Gamel?"

Griffin was shocked by Kazuki's question. Out of all the people, why would he find a sadist. He gulped down his curiosity and asked. " May i know the reason why your looking for Gamel?"

" Well I was just curious why she became a sadist."

" That I can answer.' Griffin said with a smile.
