บท 220: Selda and Danel

On a warm spring day in a house not far from the royal palace of the Grand Amatas Empire, an older woman sat enjoying her warm cup of tea while reading a book. Not far from the woman an older man sat drinking his own cup of tea. These people where Selda and Danel.

After Daedalus had become Emperor they had decided to move out of the palace in hopes he would learn how to take care of everything. Sadly that hope was dashed as he, on several occasions, would ask them to take care of things as he went on his little adventures. This only served to prove that he was a carefree spirit in their old eyes.

Even though they could be considered powerful within this realm they knew that they had not surpassed time. With over four hundred years down each time was inevitably going to catch up. Selda's beautiful crimson hair had begun to fade and wrinkles had begun to form on her beautiful face. Danel was in a similar position however he was a bit older than her, luckily due to his race he would maintain his youth, so as it happened he had started to have white hairs and wrinkles appearing as well.

It had been a while since Daedalus had resumed his journey so when they got a message from him regarding sending one of the better trained scholars they of course dealt with it quickly. Luckily it seemed he needed two of the faster horses which meant that the scholar would arrive far earlier than they would have usually hoped.

So after dealing with what Daedalus wanted Selda and Danel decided to reward themselves by visiting their grandchildren. Not more than a short walk and the two where within the palace and trying to find Rose and Reginn.

It took a while for the two to find the twins but when they did they couldn't help laughing. Rose was currently sat on an unconscious Reginn while glaring darkly at him. When rose heard the laughter she immediately became happy and ran to meet with her grandparents.

Reginn still unconscious seemed to recognise that there was no longer a weight on his back and sighed with relief. This caused Selda to laugh a little too hard and fall to the ground still laughing. Before long she had stopped laughing and noticed that Reginn was now awake with a confused look on his face.

Curious as to why he could be confused Selda was about to ask him when he said "Wrinkles?"

Selda immediately went stiff like a board, Danel who heard this glared at Reginn. To say the least Reginn learned not to antagonise his grandmother after that day. It was also one of the last things he remembered about that month before going into a coma.

Daedalus who was riding with Long Tian through the forest was enjoying their trip through the forest when all of a sudden he was launched from the back of his horse and into a tree.
