Chapter 66: The Great Hustle of the Thirteen Clans (10)
An angry middle-aged bearer and a kid who is plopping miserably on the ground. That is the sight that Manulus and his friends saw far from where they were. It is obvious what happened just looking at the scattered stones and toppled basket of the little boy.
"Brother Bearer. I am sorry. I didn’t mean to collide with you." Tate, the youngest of the orc boys, apologized. His eyes are clear and firm even though his hands are mildly trembling.
"Tate!" Sibal and Gab sprinted to the poor boy’s side. "Are you okay?"
"We apologize for-" Sibal tried to apologize only to be interrupted by the thunderous yelling of the effeminate bearer.
"See? This is the reason why these people are called rogues! They are rude and uncouth. Their children deliberately hurt someone and they didn’t even bother to compensate or apologize. As expected from someone who came from the wild land."
The bearer’s brown eyes looked at them with obvious malice. At this point, both the orcs and Manulus who are approaching with their group know that something is up.
This bearer is purposely trying to paint them as the villain. Manulus cleverly decided not to approach further or else they will be seen as mobbing the bearer whose age is older than theirs.
"We were trying to apologize-" Gab’s eyes were red with fury.
"No, don’t, "Sibal, who has a better grasp of the situation, quickly stopped his friend.
Moon elves are protective of their bearers. If they are caught disrespecting one then it goes without saying that they will be ostracized more in the future. Besides, it will reflect badly on the moon elf lord who guaranteed their safety.
Sibal could only grit his teeth as he listened to the derogatory words that the bearer was spitting at them.
The nine-year-old Tate wanted to call for the powerful Pretty Brother who only
treated them well so far. His hands are trembling as he is grabbing Sibal’s clothes. ’Please Pretty Brother, chase this bad brother away!’
However, Luis, the pretty brother, was in his beauty sleep. He cannot come forward even if he wants to.
When Tate is on the verge of crying, he saw two slender backs standing in front of them, blocking the vicious bearer.
"Hey ugly, you are from Soriya Clan, correct? Can you stop terrorizing the child? And let him go?"
"Right, you are exaggerating the details so shamelessly. Don’t you know that a lot of eyes are watching what happened?"
The first voice is calm and as smooth as velvet. While the second one is confident. The two bearers who suddenly showed up looked at the angry bearer with glares that could even slice a rock.
The bearer from Soriya Clan was surprised and didn’t speak for a while. But this didn’t stop the sharp tongue of the two newcomers.
"Gea, he is not shameless. Don’t be stupid." Aryn gently said to his friend. A perceptible smugness reflected in the bearer’s brown eyes. "Can’t you see that his sorry behavior is a disgrace to his own clan?"
"Oh, Aryn, it seems that you are right, only this once in your entire life though." Gea crossed his arms and then clicked his tongue.
"What kind of clan could nurture a terrible being that could ruthlessly hurt a child? I bet they haven’t had a child since forever."
This combination of the bearers left the nearby bystanders stunned and speechless. If Luis was here he would immediately recognize the two. One is Olyn’s mother and the other is Jiro’s mother, the warrior that he saved before he met Xagrien.
’Just where did these two bearers come from?’ The originally angry bearer was disoriented as if somebody gave him a twin slap on both cheeks.
"You two are the old bearers from Hyon Clan. My Soriya Clan has no bad blood with your clan. Why are you sowing discord now?"
The bearer raised his chin, acting as if he wasn’t intimidated by the two.
’Old?!’ Gea questioned himself if he heard it right. He looked at Aryn and the dark expression of his frenemy confirmed that his hearing was accurate.
"This abysmally stupid– you’re calling us old bearers?!" Jiro’s mother immediately flared up! "How dare you call me that. I am only in my 90s! You despicable twat!" Moon elves’ maximum life expectancy is 200 years so Gea will never accept to be called old.
Aryn only looked at Gea as though he was watching a fool.
He picked up the basket and used his earth powers to gather all the spilt stones in it.
"Here, are you okay?" He gently asked the child.
Tate nodded.
"Take the child and go. We can handle this." He faced the two adult orcs and said.
"But-"
"Conflicts between bearers could only be settled by bearers. No male has the gall to jump to their grave head first."
The two orcs are visibly confused so Aryn pointed out. "All of you are males, right?"
"Yes!" The two orcs stood firmly. There’s no way that they will let their manliness be doubted!
"Then go. A lot of elitist clans are eyeing the situation. They must be looking for a way for the moon elf lord to throw you away. So be careful."
Aryn said that and faced the two bearers who were bantering.
"Where do you think you are running off to?" the bearer yelled after seeing that the three is retreating.
"Why do you care?" Gea didn’t need to think deeply and he just answered.
Slowly, Aryn stepped forward and said in a clear but loud voice. "We are not here to offend your clan. However, your horrible mouth and stupid actions offend us."
Olyn’s mother made sure that all bystanders who were watching them could hear his every word.
"You should have known that the moon elf lord has expressed his acceptance. Not even the head priest and the head sentinel disapproved of the moon elf lord’s decision, don’t tell me you have contradicting thoughts." Aryn cleverly twisted the bearer’s words and actions. Instead of showing that the attack was against the newcomers, he shifted it to the direction of the high-ranking figures of the moon elf race.
"That’s right! Are you trying to rebel? You’re not content to insult the entire moon elf race with your ugly face so wanted to step it up and be a traitor is that it?" Gea added fuel to the fire.
"Huh?! You are calling me ugly when your face is not much different to a male’s?!"
However, he suddenly shivered when he looked at the moon elves watching them. He remembered what the other bearer from the Hyon Clan said and he realized that he messed up.
Putting it this way, the bearer immediately received displeasing eyes from the audience.
"You!" the bearer from Soriya Clan could only say as his face was bathed in red and sweating profusely.
’I never said that!’ he could only say as he felt the sharp glares on his back.
Seeing that the situation is taking a bad turn, someone from the Soriya Clan jumped forward.
"On behalf of my fellow clansmen, I apologize for this incident." a warrior humbly said to both Aryn and Gea.
However, Aryn was nonchalant and said.
"I am not the one you should be apologizing to. It should be the kid that you threatened."
"Hyon Clan!" the bearer yelled with fury. As a part of the Soriya Clan, he will never humble himself in front of a rogue!
"Right, we will make sure to compensate the child for the fright that he experienced. We will resume working then." the warrior quickly interjected.
"If you say so."
With that, the male warrior pulled the bearer and left. Seeing the confrontation is done, the audience dispersed to continue working.
"You will just let him go after he calls us old bearers?!" Gea questioned Aryn in disbelief.
"Well, that was true in your case since you easily lost your cool."
"Excuse me," the two doesn’t know when the group of both orcs and moon elves approached them.
"We are thankful for what you did for Tate. Thank you for saving him." Manulus said. Even though Sibal and Gab were quick to go to Tate’s side he doubts that they can get out of the situation without getting despised by the others.
It was the two bearers that truly saved him from the trouble.
"Well, we are just doing what an adult should do in that situation. Protecting the child."
"You are from the Hyon Clan," Manulus said. The moment he decided to approach them he already made up his mind to come clean.
"Actually, the moon elf lord told us about your clan. We are the ones who fought with your warriors."
"We apologize for that incident." Sibal followed up.
Aryn and Gea were silent for quite a while until Gea spoke.
"I will be honest, my beloved son is one of the injured. In fact, he had the worst wound out of all the warriors. I almost lost him that day." He could vividly remember that day. The desperation, the hopelessness and the pain. However, as he speaks about it now, he felt light. Gea doesn’t have any resentment at all.
"But fortunately, our powerful moon elf lord managed to save him from the brink of death."
Hearing that Gea’s son almost died made him feel guilty. "I’m sorry. It was my brother who did it."
"I accept your apology. Although honestly, I think that what happened was a twist of fate. My son became stronger after that incident. He made that moment of loss and weakness a lesson. So I thank you because you made him mature."
"Besides, we are now serving the one moon elf lord so it’s pointless to keep the animosity between us. Let’s all move on and continue building the protective wall." Aryn said.
"Just be loyal subordinates to the moon elf lord and all of us are good. Also, have you seen my son Olyn? That gentle, beautiful and kind servant that follows our lord around? He was supposedly here since the lord is sleeping."
"Ah, we haven’t seen him."
"Heya! I was watching the whole thing earlier and I’m sorry I cannot help you out earlier since I am a male." a male warrior with a smiling face approached them.
Aryn sighed. "Lio, nobody is expecting you to jump forward, believe me."
Manulus and the others looked a bit confused.
"Oh, that is Aryn’s avid suitor. He is from the Adriha Clan" Gea said with a hint of gossip. "Don’t look confused, his husband died a long time ago."
"Oh," Manulus and his friends just said. Is it okay to divulge such personal information to someone they just met?
No one knows when but moon elves came towards them one by one and they amicably approached Tate and the other children.
"Hello! Are you alright?"
"I apologize if that scared you earlier."
"I’m not scared because the Pretty Brother will hit him for me."
"Pretty Brother?"
"Pardon him he is referring to the moon elf lord," Wendell the oldest among the children clarified.
"Oh, I-I see," the warrior managed to say after he was caught off guard. This child is no joke!
"This kid is quite brave! Do you want to be a sentinel once you grow up? My son is a trainer in the temple and he can accept you as a trainee if you want!"
Manulus and the others looked at it with their eyes wide open. ’What is happening?’
"Well, it’s been a while since there was a child here so..." Gea explained.
At that moment, Manulus, Sibal and the others realized that although some will look at them displeased, there are still others who are willing to accept them.
So far, they haven’t regretted going with the moon elf lord.
