Reincarnated With The Undefeated System
67 The Battle Festival.(3)
What did he see? He saw the special place secured for officials, no one needs to tell him for him to know that was the place.
There were chairs in there, and it was roofed, the chairs were arranged in circle as well apart from one chair...the king's chair. The king was sitting on the chair already with his crown on his head, and the chair was made of royalty as well.
There were also some chiefs and nobles sitting on the chairs already, and Aiden could see some knights around. These were the knights of the king and some of the chiefs and nobles.
Glancing in the middle, Aiden could see the field where the tournament was gonna take place...where the warriors would battle themselves.
Inside that special place for the officials, Aiden could see some kids and women in it. These must be the kids of the officials, and the women were their wives. At that moment, Aiden began glancing at the chairs to see if he'll sight either Oliver or Ava, but he didn't sight any of them.
..He remembered them saying they'll come on time with their parents, so why weren't they here?
Or maybe...he didn't check well. He decided to scan around again, and so he began doing. He glanced at the chairs again, but he didn't still sight them...they haven't arrived yet. At that moment, Ethan uttered to his family,
"That's the place secured for us, let's head over to that place".
He made that utterance pointing to where the king, chiefs, and nobles were sitting, and they began sauntering toward it at that moment. All the officials in that special place were dressed in robes.
The king was dressed in an expensive robe, the chiefs and nobles were dressed in robes. Even Aiden, Emma, Hazel, and Alora were dressed in robes as well...but Ethan wasn't dressed in a robe.
As known, he wasn't the type that likes dressing in robes. He was a warrior, so he loved dressing like a warrior. As far as it wasn't an occasion that requires him to wear robe or he was at home, he was always dressed like a warrior.
As Ethan was strolling toward the special place with his family, the king and the other chiefs and nobles sighted him. There were still lots of vacant chairs in there, not all the officials had arrived.
And there were still lots of vacant chairs in general, lots of people hadn't arrived. The event hadn't begun though, so before it begins, the chairs would have been filled up.
Among the chiefs and nobles sitting at that special place reserved for them, their wives and children were also present there...and some of their maids were also present.
Now, once a maid is assigned to a certain noble or chief, that maid automatically becomes part of their family. Yeah, they are servants, but they can still be referred to as part of the family they are working for.
..And the personalities of their masters are also very important, are their masters rude people? Or are they kind?
But it still comes down to one thing, the servants of an official can be referred to as part of his family. So some of the servants of the officials joining them at the special place wasn't a bad thing at all...they were family.
So it was for Alora, she was a servant, but she was gonna be joining the Dankworth family at the special place 'cause she was family. They got to the place, and Ethan greeted the king along with his family, then they took their seats waiting for the event to begin.
..In the next minutes, the event was gonna begin.
More people were trooping into the place, and the seats were getting filled up. Though Aiden was sitting down, his eyes kept on scanning around waiting for either Oliver or Ava to arrive...he'll feel really bad if none of them comes.
More officials were filling up the seats at the special place along with their families, more were arriving...and the knights around were increasing. Chiefs and nobles kept trooping into the place along with their families, and many of them came with their knights.
Ethan was still sitting in his seat when he sighted Asher coming along with his family and two knights following them from behind. A smile appeared on his face at that moment...his older brother had arrived.
..He was somehow happy to see his brother, Asher. As known, they weren't that close, but Ethan doesn't harbor any hard feelings against him.
But was Asher happy to see him? Not at all. In fact, as he was sauntering toward the special place along with his family and sighted, Ethan...these were the thoughts that ran through his mind,
'So he's here? I've almost forgotten, he's also a chief, an average-ranked one for that matter. He shouldn't have come, why did he have to attend this festival along with his family?'.
..Now, the hatred Asher has for Ethan hadn't decreased one bit...it was still as strong as ever.
This was what they call...chronic hatred. No matter how long passes, it would still be as strong as ever. Asher and his family reached the place where the other chiefs and nobles were, and Ethan bowed his head a little greeting, Asher...but Asher just ignored him.
..At that moment, Ethan was a little confused, why didn't Asher reciprocate his greeting?
'I think as time passes, we are going further and further away from each other...we really aren't that close'. Ethan thought to himself, that was his conclusion.
Asher greeted the king and some of the other chiefs and nobles, then he and his family took their seats.
It had gotten really close to when the event was gonna begin, more and more people were filling up the seats. Aiden was still waiting for either Ava or Oliver to arrive, they didn't come early as they promised...but at least, he wanted them to come.
He was still sitting on his seat waiting for either of them to arrive when Oliver strolled into the open space with his family...and Aiden sighted him immediately 'cause his gaze was fixed on the gate.
At that moment, the strong urge to stand up from where he was sitting and run over to meet Oliver was there. And he couldn't control the urge, he was already standing up from his chair when Ethan stopped him.
Aiden glanced at him, and Ethan inquired,
"Where are you going to?".
Pointing to Oliver, Aiden voiced out, "I want to go meet him, he's my good friend at school. The one you saw the first time you came to pick me up from school, the one that helped me locate home when I hung around with them. That's him, I want to go meet him".
"You'll sit right there, you shouldn't be walking about now. Maybe after the event is over, you can then go meet him, and you guys can talk for as long as you want". Ethan uttered.
..Their little conversation grabbed the attention of some people, it definitely grabbed the attention of Emma, Alora, and Hazel 'cause they were sitting close to each other...the Dankworth family were sitting close to each other.
Aiden had to do as his dad told him, he sat back in his seat...but he was waiting for Oliver to notice him at least. And that happened, while Oliver and his family were heading toward the chairs to make themselves comfortable...Oliver glanced at the special place and sighted, Aiden.
Remember, he knew Aiden's dad was an average-ranked chief, and he knew they'll all be sitting at the special place today...he even used it to tease Aiden at school.
The moment he and Aiden's eyes met, they smiled at each other, then they waved at each other. Oliver's parents noticed that their son was waving at someone, and following his gaze, they noticed that he was waving at one of the sons of the officials.
..So, their son was friend of an official's son? They weren't aware of this, Oliver never told them.
Well, it shouldn't be that surprising, it was normal. They were kids and in the same school. Aiden's parents also noticed that a certain boy was waving at their son...and Emma quickly discerned that they were friends, Ethan was already aware of this.
Oliver and Aiden finished waving at each other with that smile still plastered to their faces. Then they gave each other the look of, 'We'll talk later', and Oliver focused his gaze on the front.
..Oliver had arrived, Aiden was elated, but would Ava come? The event was very close to starting, the chairs were getting filled up.
