After our dinner, that consisted of steamed rice with an assorted array of mixed vegetables and meat in a single dish meal, we all rested in the living room area. It was one of the dishes that Heather had gained from the realm. By this time, I think her Graceheaven Great Cooking And Baking Recipe Book would be as thick as a Bible.
Even if our children can speak like adults, but with their small grubby hands, they still need to be fed by one of us.
After dinner, I called them to gather around as I had a few announcements to make. Furthermore, this would be a start where we would be doing things together more in the future.
"Alright, everyone. Please listen up good. As you had already known, Aerin is undergoing the regeneration of her leg as the process would take at least a week. Then another week for Aerin to get used to her new leg. Then another week for her to see if there would be any problem before she leaves this town and returns to the Caras Kingdom."
"I have here a set of unused pair of cloth armour that Amadeus had given me earlier. I would be heading to the realm to see if I could modify them to be like the ones I made for the sentries before." I could see that HRH Amy was holding her nose the moment I mentioned about cloth armour from Amadeus. I guessed she had a kind of dislike against the light green-skinned wood elf adventurer.
"It this could be successful and the wood elves adventurers favours them, then it would be good to go idea. If not, we have to scrap it somehow and rely on more Health Lozenges to be carried by them."
"Next would be the allegiances pledged by the wood elves adventurers. Phoenix and Eagle would handle those matters, so this would put us free to attend to our matters at hand." I highlighted to the rest of the family as they sighed a huge relief when they heard that I am uninvolved at all.
"Aragon, the Great Elven King with Artemis, his son, would be putting up at the domain and would be observing Aerin's progress in the hospital. It would be at least three weeks before Aerin would be able to recover from her injuries. Meanwhile, we would not be meddling in the affairs as we do have our own to take care of."
"NOW...!" I raised my tone a bit higher and made everyone nearly jumped from their seats. I guessed talking in a very monotonous tone sure makes anyone sleepy...!
"I just received word from Ceres that we would be meeting Max, another version of a guidance system that used to be with the so-called previous owner of this body. Ceres mentioned that there would be quests that involved only our family and no one else." The moment I finished speaking, the children were excited and were bounding around and raising their hands to ask their questions.
"Doc will bring his expert forgers to forge those mithril ores into ingots first. Then it would be me to forge those ingots into useable pieces for our armours."
"HOWEVER...!!!" I raised my voice a tad higher this time since we have a situation on our hands that need our attention.
"What Ceres had mentioned would not be in effect since we have these task n our hand. We need to clear those tasks first before we could embark on our new journey. I wondered how the acceptance of those readers once we diverted our storyline towards something like this. I guessed Ceres had its own set of thoughts when it mentioned about quests."
The moment the children heard about quests, they raised their hands excitedly once again. This time, I let them have their say since it would be hard to curb their enthusiasm once I had tickled them.
"Daddy, what do you mean by quests? You mean we are going out as a family like the adventurers?" HRH Amy asked after I opened the floor up for questions and answers.
"Yes, Amy. We would be going out as adventurers as a family. It would be something like the Irish Travellers or Romani Gypsies."
"Daddy, we would take the AAV as well? I mean we need a mode of transport, right?" HRH JR asked as he finally was able to question me.
"That's right, JR. Not only the Dragon Boat but also the Red and Pink auto cars as well. Remember you both had requested for one? By next month, those presents, would be handed to you, that be alright for both of you?" I reminded the children about the cars that they had requested for their personal use. If they were to go out adventuring together, I guessed their auto cars would need to upgrade as well since utilised outside of the town's limits.
"YAY...!!! We would get those Red and Pink auto cars by Christmas, is that right, Daddy?" Both HRH Amy and JR were jumping about in joy as they realised that I had not forgotten their requests at all. Little did they realised, that their undertaking was ready months ago when the engineers had built the 911 Lightning. Hahaha...!
"So we are going to dismiss what Ceres had mentioned to you regards to the quests?" Heather asked as she gave me the side glance.
"Dear, remember that we have some outstanding that we need to attend to right now. Those darn bastards are waiting for us to come knocking at their door. Otherwise, they are regrouping to gather more forces from all corners of Hell...!!!"
The children gasped in shock as they had forgotten about the new horde that had set up the invisible barrier earlier. They did not realise that we have not achieved victory as we had managed to scrape through a rescue mission to extricate Aerin and Artemis from their grip. It was as though, those enemies had made pawns out of these wood elves instead.
"Dear, you mean those bastard evil are still out there, am I right?" Heather had now turned about and focused on the matter at hand after she discovered about the new enemies.
"That's right, honey bunny. We still have our hands full as the only time we can go and attack them is when the expert forgers of the Dwarven race had come here to render their assistance."
"At the meantime, I have to focus on the blacksmithing first since I need to redesign some awesome armours for the soldiers to wear right now, don't you think so?" I explained since there would be times where I would be at the realm to upgrade my blacksmithing skills. Right now, it was resting at Level 1 as there would be ten more levels where I would be a class higher.
"We will give you all the support that you need, Daddy."
"Go, Daddy, Go...!!!"
"Hammer all those ores down to smithereens...!"
"You can do it, Daddy, all night long...!"
The children hollered in their cheers of encouragement as fortunately, we are a bunch of Royals living next door to the commoners. Or else our neighbours would be throwing in rubbish on our roofs to tell us to keep quiet after hours.
I laughed at the twins as so did Heather. It was just like any family event where the whole family members gathered around after dinner and discussed the daily matters.
The twins were young, but this does not stop us from sharing with them the affairs of our governance.
"Daddy, would you be heading to the realm later on since you had informed us that you need to design something for the wood elves adventurers?" HRH JR reminded me since I had shown them the pair of cloth armour that I had taken from Amadeus earlier before dinner.
"That's right, JR. Daddy would be going to the realm later on alone since Daddy would only be redesigning this cloth armour. Unless all of you wanted to come along and see how I perform the task?"
I knew I had asked a stupid question as anybody in the whole wide world would love to give me s**t by cramming themselves inside my brain for nothing. Hahaha...!!!
"Alright then, we would be heading to the realm once after supper, yes? We would not be there for long and would most probably be there for an hour. Once Daddy had enhanced the cloth armours, we would then head back here, would that be alright?" The children were ecstatic to learn that they would be spending at least an hour over there and then an hour for them would mean a lot for them.
"I would pack the kitchen and the house a bit since JR was gnawing on his bolster earlier while waiting for dinner." Heather highlighted the matter to me amidst the protests that JR was making. He was rolling on the floor and was kicking up such a fuss regards to the revelation.
I looked at what HRH JR was doing right now as I cannot help but laugh out loud since that was how I used to act if I was exposed. I was wondering since when a Royal would act like a brat. Hahaha...!
"Daddy, would we be entering the realm right now? I have a packet of chips that had gotten from the Bakery earlier as I would be sharing it with Amy later on." HRH JR showed a bag of chips that he had gotten fresh from the ovens. JR picked a piece out from the bag he was carrying as it showed a thinly sliced crispy potato chip that had deep-fried after being marinated for some time already.
I peered at the piece of chip that was pinched by JR as somehow it looked familiar as if it was an everyday snack for me. Suddenly, JR shoved the potato chip into my mouth.
"How do you like it, Daddy?" HRH JR was behaving like a squirrel, as he was jumping from the left to the right.
I can't help but have a flashback on what I had just experienced earlier.
