The Royal Mark-Chapter 418: Getting Old

Elsa and Chris spoke with their kids first, explaining everything in detail. They kept nothing hidden, and in response, the children promised not to reveal their origins to anyone. They were also instructed to let their parents know of any changes that they experienced once the time came.

Once the children understood the situation, they all went to Elandir’s room. Elandir handed a bottle of water to Elsa, who sprinkled some onto the mirror. The surface became blurry, like disturbed water, until it cleared. Instead of their own reflections, the mirror now showed the images of other people.

Elsa clasped her hands together and covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with joyful tears and excitement. "Oh my God! It’s actually working. Mom!" she exclaimed, touching the mirror.

Hera, also teary-eyed, mirrored Elsa’s actions. "I’ve been waiting for this day, sweetheart, ever since Elandir left and Ydril gave me the other mirror. Every day, I wish I could use it to see you. Tell me, how are you?"

"I am fine. There’s someone I want you to meet. Well, there’s three of them." Elsa moved to the side and Ambros gently pushed the kids to come closer to the mirror, urging them to greet their Grandmother.

Hera’s tears finally fell and she cried happy sobs, that she couldn’t even talk.

They heard footsteps on Hera’s end and when the owner of those footsteps was revealed, Elsa was not able to hold her tears as well.

"Oh, my goodness gracious! Is that Prince Rocco? You’ve grown so big!" Valeria remarked.

Rocco waved his little hand and said, "These are my sisters, Rosey and Daisy," pointing to the twins. "Who are you?" he added making everyone chuckle.

"Come on stop crying you two. Introduce us to the children first!" Allister demanded.

"I’ll do it," Chris said. He then introduced, Hera, Valeria, Allister, Drake, and Arla, whom they noticed pregnant.

"Andrius cannot join us today, but he will be here at your wedding. Tyrion will teleport everyone to watch it from here," Allister said.

"It’s been so long. I miss you all so much. I am sorry it took me a while to remember, but I wish I was there with you right now," Elsa continued wailing.

"Oh dear, stop crying, you will have puffy eyes, nose, and cheeks tomorrow. Your parents were not there at your wedding in Zemaria, so this is their only chance to see you walk the aisle. If you continue crying, you will be ugly on your wedding day," Valeria commented. Her words somehow lightened the mood of her daughter and granddaughter and she finally stopped crying.

"I’m sorry, I was just so happy to them every one and meet the twins. They look like Chris more, while Rocco resembles Elsa more," Hera said.

"But people said we look like both our Mommy and Daddy," Rocco rebutted.

Ambros tousled his hair and uttered, "Of course you do. Tell grandma the skill that you discovered."

"Grandma, grandma, I can talk to wolves! I have a pet wolf and he said he is the reincarnated wolf of Daddy!" Rocco proudly informed everyone.

"You do? That’s wonderful!" Allister praised.

"Yeah, Hera was only able to suppress his magic and not his werewolf side. But Elsa enrolled him in a special school and some of the teachers and students there were werewolves as well," Chris said.

"You mean there are other races there as well, besides humans?" Allister asked while rubbing his chin with his index and thumb.

"Yes, there are," Ambros answered. "However, it is not the same as in Vectus. I am not sure if it’s because of the mixing of humans and other races over the years but they are not as powerful as the ones who were born in Arcanis."

"We will talk about this again soon, gentlemen. Let’s not bore the children with your stories," Hera said and began asking Rocco, Rosey, and Daisy questions.

After their conversation ended. Elsa and Marina went to the kitchen together with the children, while Chris, Elandir, and Ambros stayed.

"Do you know how many packs are there in Novus?" Chris asked Ambros.

"I have no idea. There could be hundreds, but there are also witches here and a few vampires that I have met while staying here. But no matter how many they are, one thing is for sure. They are interested in your children, especially Rocco," Ambros revealed.

He continued, "When they found out that the Prince of Arcanis was here, Elsa got a lot of offers from different packs, offering their alliance but I hid them all. I told them that the goddess had also removed his power and that’s the only thing that stopped them from insisting."

"However, we cannot hide his power forever. He will turn when the time comes," Elandir reminded them.

"This must be related to Yakobo’s mission. The goddess sent him knowing that Elsa and I wouldn’t be able to protect him with our current situation," Chris uttered.

"Have you told Elsa about Yakobo’s mission?" Ambros questioned.

"No, not yet. I was planning to tell her the whole of it after the wedding. Telling her now wouldn’t make a difference."

"Right, don’t tell Elsa yet. I also have my own news to tell my daughter."

"Tell me what?" Elsa came in without any more noticing since the door in Elandir’s room was wide open.

"Sit down, dear," Ambros instructed. "I am so happy that you have your memory back, you have your husband back, and everything is in its rightful place... Except for me."

Everyone furrowed their brows, not understanding what Ambros meant.

"I plan to go back to Vectus after your honeymoon."

"We have a honeymoon?" Elsa asked in confusion.

Ambros handed an envelope to her. "That contains everything for your honeymoon. That’s my last gift to you both."

"But Dad, why would you go back to Vectus?" Elsa queried with a sad tone in her voice.

"Your mother is getting old, and I want to stay by her side, and take care of her. So much time had passed between us and I think it is time for me to give all my time to her. I am a fallen angel and I can only do so much with the limited powers that I have left."

Elsa took Ambros’ hand and smiled. "I understand, Dad. Go and be with Mom. Take care of her to your heart’s content."

Elsa then hugged her father tight. Even though he will be leaving, she’s still happy that her parents will finally have their happy ending.
