Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 90
"I suggest we throw a shindig!"While King Roderick's proclamation was met with cheers and applause, Dahlia knew that there was still much work to be done.The centaurs had been through so much, and their struggle was far from over. The king's gesture was a good start, but it would take more than words to truly make amends.As the celebration continued, Dahlia watched Mona and Victor laughing and chatting. The contrast between their lighthearted banter and the serious situation at hand was not lost on her.Elliott stood stiffly, his face a carefully crafted mask of composure. But Dahlia could see the turmoil beneath the surface. The weight of the king's words and the memories they evoked were clearly taking a toll on him.Roderick continued to praise Elliott's bravery, unaware of the young man's inner turmoil. He spoke of him as a hero, but for Elliott, the memory of that day was anything but heroic.Dahlia noticed a single tear escape from Elliott's eye, but he quickly wiped it away.

"Oh?" said the king, looking down at him with a curious expression. "What is it, Elliott?""Well... Why did you help me reveal Oscar Lightfoot's letter to the centaurs?" asked Elliott. "It could have painted your father in a bad light.""My father is a great king, but he is not perfect," said the king, his voice low and calm. "It is important to acknowledge his mistakes, so that we can learn from them.""But your majesty, isn't it more important to do what's right for the kingdom, even if it means sacrificing your own ego?" asked Elliott, his voice growing bolder.The king's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing. "It is not about my ego," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "It is about maintaining the stability of the kingdom. If I am seen as weak, it could lead to disaster.""But at what cost?" asked Elliott. "The centaurs did nothing wrong. It was all Oscar's doing and not Magnus. The centaurs and the elves could be united once again. Why put that relationship at risk for the s

Fiona turned to look at him, her expression unreadable. "Why do you ask?" she finished, her voice smooth and nonchalant.Leo knew she was playing a game, but he didn't know what the rules were. "It's just that you've been spending a lot of time with your father, and I'm curious as to what you've been discussing," he said, choosing his words carefully. "I know you're a shrewd strategist, and I'm sure you're always thinking a few steps ahead. But I'd like to know what those steps are.""Do you not trust me, my love?" asked Fiona, a hint of playfulness in her tone. "I assure you, I have the best interests of our kingdoms at heart. I would never do anything to jeopardize our safety or security."Leo studied her for a moment, searching for any sign of deceit. But her face was like a mask, and he couldn't tell what she was truly thinking. "I trust you with my life," he said at last. "But I'd be remiss if I didn't ask the question. You must understand my concern."Fiona's silence spoke volum

The other huntresses looked at Talia, waiting for her nod of approval before they showed Leo and his companions to their tent. Nicklaus was having a hard time keeping Valor under control, as the griffin's nose was twitching with the scent of the food laid out on the mat. The huntresses exchanged amused glances, clearly amused by the sight of Nicklaus struggling to control his griffin."Come, Valor," Nicklaus said, his voice firm but gentle. "We must be polite guests." Valor let out a low growl, but allowed himself to be led away from the food....The ladies had been laughing and joking with Cedric, enjoying his easygoing manner and quick wit. But then, as if on cue, they all fell silent, their faces growing serious. They glanced nervously at Talia, and then filed out of the room without a word. Cedric was left feeling puzzled and a little concerned. He faced Talia and he jumped."I'm sorry, Talia," Cedric said, his voice strained. "I know this is difficult, but we can't let our perso

But then he heard a yelp from Cedric and his concentration was broken. The shot went wide, and the target got away. Frustrated, he turned to look at Cedric, ready to give him a piece of his mind.Cedric was crumpled on the ground, clutching his leg and moaning in pain.As Leo looked down at Cedric, he realized something was amiss. Concerned, he knelt down and examined Cedric's leg, looking for the source of the pain."Did you sprain your ankle?" he asked, gently probing Cedric's leg."I think so...oh, oh dear. It's just a false alarm." "FALSE ALARM?!" Leo roared, his face turning red with anger. "You had me thinking you were seriously injured, and it was all just a stupid prank?!" He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Cedric had really gone too far this time. Leo felt like he could explode with rage. Leo looked at Gianna with a mix of admiration and annoyance. On the one hand, he was impressed by her hunting skills. Three kills out of seven was no easy feat. But on the other hand

"Hold on a second, Fiona. I think we need to start this whole hunt over. Cedric's distraction affected the outcome of the game, and it wouldn't be fair to declare a winner based on that."Cedric felt his face flush with embarrassment. He hadn't meant to cause such a commotion, and now he had made things more complicated than they needed to be. He was already dreading the next three days of ...hunting, knowing that he would have to work extra hard to redeem himself. And worst of all, he would have to face the disappointment of his friend Leo, who had worked so hard to win the hunt. He wished he could take back his actions, but it was too late for that now. All he could do was try to make things right.Gianna, ever the voice of reason, stepped in. "I think Talia is right. It's only fair to start over and give everyone a second chance." She looked at Cedric, her expression kind but firm. "You included, Ced."With a collective sigh of resignation, Leo and Gianna set off into the forest on

Talia's gaze lingered on Franklin for a moment, and she could feel his eyes on her. She wondered what he was thinking, and whether he was afraid of her. But she also noticed that Markus and the others didn't seem to be afraid of him. In fact, they seemed quite at ease in his presence. It was a curious situation, and Franklin couldn't help but wonder what it all meant. But he kept his thoughts to himself, not wanting to stir up any trouble."Well, hello everyone," Talia said, breaking the tension with a smile. "It's good to be working with you."Franklin watched as the party got into full swing, with people dancing and laughing. It was a lively and festive atmosphere, but he couldn't help but feel a bit isolated from it all. No one seemed to want to approach him, and he wondered if it was because they were intimidated by his appearance. He was, after all, a cursed vampire. But he was still a person, with feelings and emotions. He just wanted to be a part of the fun, but he wasn't sure

Talia drew a crossbow from her cloak, much to Franklin's amazement. She aimed the crossbow at the imps, her hands steady and her expression fierce."Stay back!" she cried."You really brought a crossbow to a party?" Franklin said, raising an eyebrow. "A bit excessive, don't you think?"Talia smiled, her eyes glinting mischievously. "I always come prepared, Coppernight. You never know when you might need to defend yourself.""At a dance party? That's a bit paranoid, even for a warrior.""Indeed!" Nicklaus exclaimed, brandishing his sword. "And what kind of a warrior doesn't bring a weapon to a party?" He flashed a mischievous grin at Franklin, who rolled his eyes."You're both ridiculous," Juniper said, her plantlike tendrils swirling around her. "But I must admit, I'm glad to have a few warriors on my side right now."As the group prepared to defend themselves against the imps, the doors of the ballroom burst open. A swarm of imps rushed in, their faces twisted into wicked grins.Wit
