Capítulo 45: Gifts (Filler Chapter)

After leaving Benedict, Arya and Reghys in their new hall Don came back to the throne room to talk with Stodmer and the Oldman.

"Do you guys like your new home?" Don asked the Oldman and Stodemar.

Don could see they were acting nervously when he asked them.

"Aye me king this be like heaven ta us " the Oldman said.

"Glad you like it so how may I address you?"

Don knew the Dwarf that tried to ambush them is called Stodemar but he didn't know what is the name of the Old dwarf.

The old dwarf was startled when he heard Don as he quickly knelt before him

"I'm called Dhursir Grayfall me king" Don put his hands around the short Old dwarf's hand and lifted him up

"It's good to see you accepted a human-like me as your king Dhursir but you don't have to kneel" however the dwarf shook his head when he heard Don because the dwarves were sticklers to tradition for them not kneeling before their king was a sin.

"I don't like people kneeling before me Dhursir except for my enemies so Dhursir tell me, are you my enemy?"

"No no, me king I don't dare " Dhursir gave a quick bark of laughter to hide his fear however he wanted to show his disagreement to not kneel but seeing Don, he knew that arguing with him would yield no result.

"Just keep your respect and loyalty in your heart and now you two go meet with your people and take rest we'll take later"

"Aye me king" Stodemar and Dhursir bowed awkwardly as they controlled their impulse to kneel.

After dismissing the dwarves only Knight, Arrora, Arwen, Amaryll and Gael stood before him in the throne hall. Don activated his Khal to contact Catalie

"Cat bring Uncle Dior to the throne hall"

"Yeah I'll be there with him in a jiffy"

Just like the girl said Catalie came to the throne hall with Uncle Dior in a few minutes.Seeing Uncle Dior yawning and stretching his hands Don guessed he was sleeping when Catalie dragged him here

"Uncle Dior, the ring from the royal dine is with you right?"

At the moment Uncle Dior heard Don his eyes went wide as he hit his own forehead for his forgetfulness

"Yes I forgot to give it to you" Uncle Dior went to remove the red color space ring on his finger but Don stopped him with a wave of his hand and turned to look at Arwen and Amaryll

"Arwen take some people with you and hunt some game we should have a feast tonight" Arwen was surprised at first but after a moment he nodded and turned to leave but Knight jumped in front of him with a grin on his face

"I'm coming with you to hunt"

Knight didn't even wait for Arwen's response as he walked towards the door as Arwen sighed and followed him after.

Seeing Knight leave with Arwen to hunt,Don turned his gaze towards Amaryll

"Amaryll can you organize everything?"

When she heard Don, she quickly nodded her head enthusiastically without even thinking because she would do anything to escape from Gael's hellish training, seeing Amaryll's grin from ear to ear Don knew why she seems very happy to organize the feast but he chose to let her have her fun just for today.

"Uncle Dior you help her with this and do what you see fit with other things and Arrora take a day off from the training " as Don said he circulated his battle energy to control the wind element around him as Uncle Dior saw Don's figure became a blur as he disappeared just like that leaving him Amaryll, Catalie and Arrora behind.

Arrora couldn't even open her mouth to respond when he disappeared from the hall.

"No matter how many times I see him he is still a freak of nature" Amaryll breathed a heavy sigh when she saw Don disappear as Catalie squinted her eyes and pouted when she heard Amaryll cursing her brother.

"You will thank him when you see this" as Uncle Dior said he took the dress they bought in Virnam for the elves.

Amaryll looked surprised when Uncle Dior flicked his wrist and took something from the space ring. However, When she saw the dress appear in Uncle Dior's hand her eyes started to sparkle

The silvery gown in Uncle Dior's hands looked like it was made from the finest silk as the silver and gold lines decorated and gave a shiny touch to the borders.

"What are you looking at? take this" Uncle Dior held the dress towards Amaryll and shook the dress to urge her. Amaryll was shaking in excitement and surprise as she slowly reached out her hands to take the gown.

"This is for me?" Amaryll held the gown tightly against her chest and asked Uncle Dior with a shaky voice. Uncle Dior rolled his eyes and took another dress from the space ring.

If the gown he gave to Amaryll was for a delicate woman, the robe Uncle Dior took from the ring now if for a warrior woman.

The robe looked like it was made of thick cloth to protect the wearer from cuts and physical attacks.it was dyed with black color with shiny metal plates covered the chest area and engraved with silver lining to add some extra charm to the robe and it also had a sword sheath which was decorated with ancient writings and designs.

"Arrora it's for you" Arrora couldn't believe her ears when she heard Uncle Dior, just by looking at the robe she was able to tell it would have cost a lot to buy the robe. She never had something expensive as this after she left her home.

"I can't take this it's too valuable" but Uncle Dior forcefully put the robe in her hands with a smile

"Just take it it's rude to reject a gift " Amaryll hesitantly held the dress in her hands

"Uncle Dior where did you get the money to buy all this?"

Amaryll frowned her eyes and asked Uncle Dior because unlike Arrora she didn't want this dress to be taken away from her if Uncle Dior bought the dress by taking a debt.

When Uncle Dior heard Amaryll he didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head

"Don bought all this" as he said Uncle Dior took all the dresses he bought for the elves out.

Amaryll and Arrora let out a yelp in shock when they saw the pile of dresses before them. Seeing the pile of clothes Arrora realized they would never have to worry about new clothes for a time being.

With a shiny new gown in her hands, Amaryll couldn't wait to wear it and show it to Arwen during the feast because of that she was motivated to organize the feast even more.

"Amaryll it's your responsibility to distribute the clothes to the woman I'll take the clothes for the men"

While Amaryll and Uncle Dior sorting the dresses Arrora stood there with teary eyes. She felt extremely grateful towards Don because not only he saved her from being a slave, he was treating her like she's matter. Until now only her parents brought her but now she got a gift from him yet he didn't even ask anything from her.

Even though receiving a gift from someone was not a big deal for others but for a person like herself who was being on the run fearing for her life and treated like dirt by humans, a mere gift made a significant impact within her.

At the moment in her heart, the loyalty she had for Don jumped up a notch and she also felt happy and safe to be here.

"Arrora come on help us with this " Arrora wiped her tears and walked towards Amaryll to help her with a lightened heart and smile.
