Chp 73 : In The Carriage

"Siun come here!" Doryu yelled out, as Siun and his family slowly made their way towards her and Alizeh

"G-greetings your highness!" Elena said the family bowed down "You called for us!"

"Yes, I would like to borrow your son for a day" Alizeh said as the family got up from their positions

"P-pardon?" Silas butted in "You mean Siun?"

"Do I have to repeat myself?" he said with a scowl

Silas felt shiver down his spine, even though Alizeh was shorter than him. Silas knew that he could be defeated in seconds even with him being from Seux

"So I assume there will be no problems?"

"Y-yes your hig-" Silas replied meekly before being interrupted by Elena

"I can't accept this your highness! My son is only 3, and your asking to talk to him in private! How can I allow that if I claim to be a good mother!" Elena shouted out

The whole crowd gasped at her statement, because how dare she? She was talking back towards their king

Alizeh looked at Elena, with judgement in his eyes, inspecting her

"Your very brave for a cripple" He said looking at her chopped up body

"Just because I'm a cripple dosen't mean I can't be a good parent!" She fought back, this time with more noticeable anger

"..." Alizeh stared at Elena

[Alizeh : This woman has potential, a person with strong protective and motherly traits are useful commanders... not only that, but I also sense a lot of magic power in her, even though she has lost an arm. Hopefully she is left handed] He thought, accidentally displaying a hint of amusement on is face

"Mother, I think you should let me go this time" Siun looked at Elena

"But aren't you scared Siun?"

"... not at all!" 

[Of course I am scared! Who wouldn't be?]

[Tex : Don't worry, Alizeh dosen't seem to have any animosity against you... yet. I don't think Doryu or Lucas told him about Yael's death yet]

[A-and let's hope he never finds out!]

[Tex : impossible, but I'll let you calm yourself down with that delusional thinking]

After a few more minutes Elena finally allowed Siun to go with Alizeh

"Thanks for your cooperation" 

"Yes, Siun is safe with us!" Doryu said as she grabbed Elena's hand and clasped them together shaking them gently

"Little girl, aren't you the saint? Shouldn't you be in the church?" Elena asked

"Oh, I'm going with your son and his majesty. I actually know your son, we are friends so rest assured I'll look over him!" Doryu placed her hand on her chest as a warm light glowed onto her hand, which she then placed on Elena

As the glow transferred to Elena her body felt rejuvenated, feeling this Elena quickly twisted her head to look at her missing right arm, in hope that it would regrow

But to her disappointment, it didn't

"... sorry, even though I'm a saint my healing powers aren't capable of healing your arm" She said with an apologetic smile

Elena looked at Doryu, she felt warmth in her heart as she tousled the little saint's fluffy long hair with her remaining arm

"It's fine"

"Let's go Doryu, or do you want to stay here and heal them with Fang?"

"No, and Fang won't be healing them. I already sent her back to New Cerulean?"

Alizeh looked at her with disdain

"I thought you guys were staying till dark?"

"Hey, watch it and be grateful. Your lucky enough that 2 dragon saints came to Xintrhi, and I even gave you a good luck charm!"

"Tsk alright then, let's go"

The townsfolk watched as the 3 walked away slowly from the church, they were filled with anger due to them just finding out that they missed their chance of getting healed by a saint. But what could they do, the king himself was the one that took the saint away a long with a weird boy

The 3 of them, Alizeh, Doryu and Siun walked up towards a luxurious carriage with the Xinthri royal crest on it. The coachman opened the door for them as they all sat down, with Doryu and Alizeh sitting together on one side and Siun sitting directly across the king
