A Butterfly That Can'T Fly
The Royal Family 2

Just as the King was about to open his mouth, an elderly woman entered barging through the guards who did not dare to stop him. He walked using a cane to support his aged body.

She was the Queen Mother, the skin on her face was already wrinkled, her eyes were black and hair was black, just like Alurra. The black color steps here, as this is the hallmark of the Divs who betrayed the Elves.

The Queen Mother walked up to the four who were already standing, the three people there bowed in greeting to the Queen Mother, while the Queen Mother bowed her body slightly saluting the King.

The royal order is indeed based on power, even if the Queen Mother Age has entered the head 7, she still has to pay respect to the King who has the highest power in the kingdom.

"Where is he?"

The Queen Mother then looked at Alurra who was standing next to Iron, Alurra also looked towards her with watery eyes from crying out.

"Is that him, Your Majesty? He's my grandson, isn't he?"

The King nodded, the Queen Mother smiled sadly and approached Alurra and hugged him. She desperately misses her only granddaughter, as she is kidnapped by the Elves kingdom frantically looking for her all over the country. They never expected that he would be brought into the human world by the Imp.

"We've been looking for you for so long, my granddaughter, it's been almost 20 years. Finally, the Iron Nobility successfully completed its mission"

The Queen Mother said that while crying, her tears wet the clothes Alurra was hugging. As he grew older, his bones shortened, Alurra looking taller than him.

"Relax the Queen Mother, let us first explain to Alurra what happened. He's still confused"

After listening to the King's words, the Queen Mother finally let go of her embrace from Alurra and wiped her tears in a graceful gesture, took out a few sheets of tissue and wiped her face that had been soaked by tears.

"Alurra, you are the princess of the kingdom of Elves. Your mother was a descendant of the previous King of Divs who did not want to betray the Elves, she was a very wise and gentle woman"

"When the previous King of Divs rebelled and poisoned King Elves, your mother was the only elf of the Elves to oppose her father, that's why I fell in love with your mother"

"After a year of rebellion, King Divs was finally killed by the previous King of Elves, and your mother finally married me. All went well during our marriage, until the followers of the previous King of Divs attacked the kingdom of Elves and kidnapped you, Alurra"

Alurra cried, her tears could not stop coming down even if she did not want to cry. What the King told him or perhaps his father, made no sense to Alurra. He has lived well in London.

Although her grandmother was busy working but still took the time to take care of her, although her best friend Elle was chatty but she was very considerate, although all her neighbors were very unfriendly to her at least they were not too annoying.

"It turns out the attack was just a diversion to their plan, the real plan was to kidnap you, my son. They found out about your mother's book, and they knew about the key. You're the key to the book, the power of life is the key"

The king paused for a moment, took a breath then looked towards Alurra who was crying and calmed down by Iron. It must have been very difficult for Alurra to accept this.

"But since the life force can only be awakened when the owner is 20 years old and has to go through a power resurrection ceremony at that age they cannot immediately take your heart, they just kidnapped you and stole your mother's book"

After a long cry, Alurra took a deep breath and looked towards the King who stopped talking. Alurra understands now, but still does not make sense, what is the book for? How important is it until they do something like this?

"But why did they want to open the book? it's just a book"

The Queen Mother shook her head, looking at Alurra with a sad look. Why does everyone look at it with that look, Alurra doesn't like it.

"It's not just a book of my son, it's a book that can grant everyone's request, of course there's a price to pay for each request. They wanted it to resurrect their long-dead King"

Iron saw Alurra who was pale and looked exhausted finally asking permission for the King to bring Alurra to his room. The king agreed as he looked at Alurra's exhausted face.

After Alurra went to the room, the atmosphere between them was very quiet. None of them spoke until the King opened the conversation.

"It seems difficult for Alurra to accept this, we will make her accept this slowly"

Everyone there nodded, they could not impose their will on Alurra. The royal family was originally eager to bring Alurra to the palace and stay with them, but it didn't seem like it for now.

"I agree with Your Majesty, for the time being it seems that Alurra has not been able to return with the Royal Family. He'll be here for a while"

The departure of the Royal Family made the atmosphere that had been tense a little slack now, Iron who was initially also very depressed with their discussion earlier was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He went upstairs to Alurra's unlocked room, where Alurra was sitting looking at the country of Elves from the window.

"Al, uh,"

Alurra turned his head, Iron came closer to him and sat on the edge of the mattress then stroked his head, his finger even stroking Alurra's face gently. His eyes looked at Alurra with a softness that calmed the heart.

"Don't worry about it, I don't want to see you lose your smile"

Alurra's eyes returned bright, Iron's fingers immediately wiped away his tears that had not fallen.

"As long as I'm by your side, I won't let these tears fall too often, Al"

"It's hard to accept all this Iron, it never occurred to me that any of this would happen. What's more my best friend Elle—"

Iron quickly kept Alurra still, his index finger pointed at Alurra's lips telling him not to continue his words.

"Shh, shut up Al. You'll be sad again if we talk about this now. Calm yourself, you're so ugly when you cry"

A small punch landed on Iron's shoulder, and the culprit was Alurra. She looked upset and stood looking at the glass on the dresser.

"You're lying"

"Right, I lied Al. You're so pretty, like a fairy"

Alurra chuckled and returned to her bed. leaned her head against the pillow and looked at Iron who was looking at her with a sweet smile.

"I might be a fairy, if my mother was Queen Elves"

Iron laughed, Alurra's words were right. She was a fairy, and a very, very, very beautiful fairy. The prettiest fairy in Iron's eyes.

All the sadness was instantly gone with Iron's presence. It was as if nothing had happened earlier, and there were no more tears flowing.

Unbeknownst to them that during their happy conversation, there was a woman with black horns and wings like a demon who saw them through the crystal ball.
