Chapter 9

Unknown to me the situation inside Code Fantasy, like previously planned, I headed home with Alice for my little sister’s birthday party.

While I was taking a few days off from the Code Fantasy. Emperor and the whole palace were in chaos.

“A number of troops from Elvenium were reported to have been seen marching north of Rein City.”, soldiers reports keep on coming from the empire’s several regions.

Things were out of hand, duke ruling parts of the empire are afraid of all outs battles again inside the empire.

“Alright, peace really doesn’t last long. A single person can really start a war between two nations.”

I wonder what went wrong.

The information about the upcoming war wasn’t made public yet. An unprecedented move from nations of elves, ‘Elvenium’.

“Kei, evacuate the target zones and surroundings. Send reinforcement in Rein City and try to keep battle inside the Rein City.”

A question that comes from the knight is, “will that be enough?”

And the answer from the emperor which shakes the ground underneath, “No, it won’t. Start the plan.”

It was inevitable for an all-out war. Dawn Empire is standing due to its economy and trade. The players from the earth with their ideas born different types of cultures but this empire is no match against ‘Elvenium’, the nation of elves.

Several Centuries old, far developed in magic, army strength, and skills. Compared to them Dawn Empire recently started developing and was a part of war just 20 years ago.

"We aren't prepared."

“Thanks, Brother, for the drawing tab. It’s the latest version of that.”, Kathline opened her presents during the party fully excited.

She sure knows how to act little and cute.

“How did you buy it? You hardly ask for money unless you need it.”, standing next to me, father suddenly asks questions.

My father, ‘Aldrin Gray’, is a person who I think is the weirdest one here. He rarely stays home and works most of the time. As much as I want to complain, he is the only one who truly understands me.

And he also doesn’t talk much with others.

“It wasn’t that expensive, I also started to work part-time for my personal usage.”, I think spending money moderately will not rise suspicion. It can be considered part-time money.

“Is that so?”

Like always, he really doesn’t say much, standing at the back like that.

“Here you go Kath, I hope you like it.”, Alice hands her bought gift inside a bag.

As excited as she was before, Kath’s reaction changes quickly.

“Wait, is this the newly launched... How beautiful.”, Kath keep on looking at the beautiful pendant with her mouth open in shock.

Inside the box, it looks like a normal pendant to me. Now I wonder if that is better than my gift. I thought she was excited to have a drawing tab.

I can’t understand these girls.

“Alright everyone, dinner’s ready. Let’s eat.”

Mother, ‘Erin Gray. She is already preparing our dinner. It’s surprising I didn’t notice.

Bringing food to the dining table, Alice also went to help, “Let me also help”.

"Thanks, you sure have grown up Alice. Try to teach some manners to Alvin as well.", suddenly both mother and Alice started to talk about me.

Well, anyway I'm used to this environment. I guess even in this nagging and I'm happy to be back home.

But I have to go back tomorrow morning due to my and Alice's classes.
