The middle-aged man who had pulled him 2 times from the depths of the slump, and a sincere person who loved and taught him many things about life, was currently standing on the balcony of the room. His body was mighty tall, but his stomach was slightly distended despite still having protruding abdominal muscles. He was wearing a white robe with a golden rod in his hand.
The man walked into the room to his surprise but then was relieved and happy to see the middle-aged man back and doing well. The man who was already considered as his own grandfather despite having no blood relation at all.
Xio was still stunned and a word said from his mouth. "Grandfather." He got off the bed and went straight to his grandfather, Azril, and hugged him.
Azril returned Xio's embrace with a smile remembering this incident like they were in their previous lives. That is when little Arcas hugged him, but now his little Xio who ran over hugged him.
"Grandpa thanks." Said Xio taking off his hug after feeling satisfied to let go of longing.
"Thank you for what?" Ask Azril.
"So, I just want to thank you. Maybe for all my grandfather's kindness to me." Answer Xio.
Bukk!
Azril punched Xio softly in the chest, "oh come on! Don't make the atmosphere melodramatic like that. I don't want to make you sad again, but I want to be happy because my granddaughter wants to have a big wedding." Azril.
"Haha..good cake! I want everyone to be happy with my wedding." Xio. "Later noon after the inauguration, there are many things I want to ask and consult with grandfather. Grandpa promise don't go again okay?!" Added.
"Hmm.." Azril cleared his throat long enough while stroking the beard on the chin with his fingers. "Well, what does my hero want to ask?" Her speech.
"Something makes me curious." Xio replied "And don't call me a child!" Rigorously. Somehow not Jhonatan did not like Azril to call him as he called when he was a child.
Tok!
"Excuse me Your Majesty, it's me Sebas." Sebas's voice was heard outside the room.
"Lake in!" Sahut Xio's.
Sebas also entered with 2 female maids, and he was briefly surprised to see Azril's presence there.
"This is my grandfather, Azril's grandfather." Xio.
"Greetings to Mr. Azril." Sebas said while bowing his chest followed by 2 maids behind him. And answered a nod by Azril.
"Grandfather just wait in the dining room with the kids. I'm gonna change my clothes first." Xio.
"All right." Answer Azril. "Emm but. I don't know where the dining room is!" He puts his shoulders.
"Oh right too, you!" Xio pointed at one of the maids standing to Sebas' left, "you're taking grandfather to the dining room!" His order.
"Okay, Your Majesty, let me take you with me!"
Azril followed the Maid. While Xio went into the bathroom, Sebas prepared the clothes that Xio had to wear, and the maid one had cleaned the room in charge of cleaning Xio's room.

A while later, Xio was seen walking down the hallway towards the dining room with Sebas behind him. When he reached the dining room, he saw Azril, with Leon and Lena sitting on his lap with Azril who seemed to be telling him something. They also look very familiar.
The three turned towards Lawang to see someone who came, Xio, who was wearing a robe and the crown of his king.
"Morning papah!" Leon and Lena.
"For my children." Xio answered with a smile. "It seems you're familiar!" Continue sitting in his chair.
Leon and Lena descend from Azril's lap and head to their respective seats. "Yes, opa is so cool!" Lena Excited.
(Opa & Oma is taken from German)
"What did opa tell you?" Ask Xio.
"Opa says, opa was against a powerful god but also a fool." Answer Leon.
Xio glanced at Azril who was chuckling. "Grandpa shouldn't tell children lies." Xio said with a probing look.
"Who is lying? I was right to fight the gods." Azril said, he was then seen paying attention to Xio's appearance from top to bottom. "Last grandpa saw you still wearing a school uniform, but now you're wearing a king's suit." Her speech.
"Who do you think made me what I am today?"
"Hahaha..but you can make it here?" Azril laughing.
"Right, thanks to grandfather I was finally able to meet such an amazing woman and my cute children haha.." Xio replied laughing as well.
After talking a little, they decided to immediately finish the breakfast that had been presented on the table.
Finished breakfast, Xio asked the preparations for the event to Sebas. "Is everything ready?" Ask Xio.
"His Majesty, all the citizens of this continent and the elves continent have gathered outside from morning to see the inauguration." Answer Sebas. It was true that from the morning everyone was impatient to see how the inauguration of cooperation between the human continent and the Elf continent. Above the sky of each city there is already a large hologram screen that will be used to broadcast the event.
"All right now we're going!" Xio moved from his chair.
"Come kids!" Azril patted Leon and Lena on the head, and the three of them walked behind Xio.

Long story short, Xio had arrived at a large and high portal that still existed in his kingdom. And the impressions in the sky have already begun to show. The residents look very crowded and enthusiastic, like there is a festival.
This time in the sky was already highlighting towards the portal. And before long he saw the portal that someone stepped foot, he was Heldir.
Heldir along with 3 elf leaders and 3 subordinates of Xio emerged from the portal. Heldir's gaze was immediately fixed on Azril who was standing not far from Xio and he looked surprised when he saw her.
Xio was already standing face to face with Heldir, and the screens in each city were displaying the two of them. "My people, I hereby declare that the human race and the elves will unite! And the intercontinental portal has been opened!" Xio shook Heldir's hand, and with a slight hug.
Everyone cheered and applauded in awe of their king who could unite the various races, and make them live in harmony.
"Will there be a party?" Ask Heldir.
"Because everyone looks happy, so be free to party." Answer Xio.
"Haha.let's say you should come too!" Heldir embraces Xio.
"Where are you taking Xio?" Azril suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Xio also remembered that Heldir and Azril were from the same era, which meant that they must have known each other, and had no idea what their relationship was at that time. But Heldir looks a lot respectful towards Azril.
"May I bring Xio to a party?" Heldir.
"Just look if you take her to see the no-no." Azril Threatens.
"Oh sir, Xio is dead" Not yet finished his sentence, Heldir had already obtained the baton from Azril's golden scepter.
"All right, I promise I won't ask her to see the sexy ladies of the dancers." Heldir said as he stroked his own head. While Xio just chuckled at him.
"Good! Hurry up you guys go have fun!" Remove Azril. Meanwhile Amir, Katarina and Duncan only gaped at seeing their ancestors could be treated like that by an old man.
Xio was actually lazy to party with Heldir, but he thought this could be entertainment to boost his mood that would soon face all humans on earth. Xio sends a telepathic message to Sebas to look after Leon and Lena.
The elves are seen coming out of the scattered portals, and they begin to blend in with the citizens of the kingdom of Regalia enlivening the feast with food, drink, music, dance, and much more.
First Heldir brought Xio to dance with the people. At first Xio did not want to, as he felt that he could not dance freely like them. But with the coercion of Heldir and the cheers of many people, Xio was able to dance like people even though his movements were still stiff and it made him laugh himself as well as Heldir.
Heldir then took Xio for a drink. Not just a regular drink, but drink 1 large glass of beer at once.
Xio accepted his challenge, as it was provoked by Heldir. "Winning without cheating is a real man." Heldir.
Now in front of the two of them there is a large beer glass that is 4 times larger than the size of the usual beer. Everyone also gathered to watch the thrilling race. The elves supported Heldir, and the others supported Xio with cheers Sorai gave encouragement.
"Are both parties ready?!" Shouted the referee who was none other than Aslan. Xio and Heldir nodded with their fingers already on the handle of the beer glass.
"Alright, START!"
Immediately Xio sipped the large glass. Xio could have cheated by making his body anti-drunk, but considering he should not cheat, he also had to race with Heldir who looks to gulp the beer with great.
"YO YOUR MAJESTY!"
"HIS MAJESTY'S SPIRIT!"
There were shouts of people who gave him encouragement, and somehow it really made Xio become more excited and gulp him down faster.
Already willing until the last moment, Heldir suddenly stopped drinking with a long burp.
Burrrpa…..
"My stomach is starting to bloat." Heldir. He then glanced at Xio who still did not stop sipping the beer. Until finally Xio was finished by spending all the contents of the beer in the glass.
There was a moment of silence because everyone did not expect the king to finish the big beer and win the race.
"The winner is Your Majesty!!!" Aslan announced the winner and raised Xio's hand up.
YOUR GLORIOUS LIFE!!
YOUR MAJESTY IS SO GREAT!!
Everyone called for Xio's victory.
"Good buddy!" Heldir patted Xio's back.
"I won haha." Xio said with his face slightly red as it seemed like he had really gotten drunk. Understandably at the age of 18 years he was the first time to drink beer, especially with a large glass.
"It seems I should bring you back soon." Heldir's mouthful of a drop of potion on Xio then carried it on his back and carried it back to the palace darted away quickly. On the way Heldir could hear Xio laughing himself like a madman, but that was it if he was drunk in a happy mood.
When he reached the palace, Heldir was approached by several guards. "What happened to His Majesty?" They asked worriedly because Xio had come to be carried by someone.
"Your king is just drunk, show me where the room is!" Heldir.
"Well, let's follow me!" The guard walked first in front. And Heldir followed him while still holding Xio.
Along the passageway many of the soldiers as well as the servants who saw Xio were worried, as they had no idea what was going on with him. Along the hallway also Heldir can see the frame of a picture frame and a statue of a beautiful white-haired woman. There are pictures of the woman herself, there are also pictures of her being together with Xio and there are others with her children as well.
Heldir arrived in front of Xio's room. The guard helped open the door for Heldir.
"Please!" Said the guard.
Heldir went into the room. First he looked around the room first, then put Xio to bed. It turned out that Xio had already fallen asleep third in Heldir's sling earlier.
Heldir glanced at the guard who had driven him earlier, "you can come back." Heldir.
"But.." doubt the guard.
"Let's just relax I won't do anything about your king." Said Heldir already knew the guard was suspicious of him.
"Alright, thank you for dropping off Your Majesty."
Heldir nodded and the guard left.
After the guard left, Heldir walked to the shelf next to the bed to see a photo showing Xio with the white-haired woman. Heldir looked very attentive to the face of the woman who was none other than Ellisa.
He was no stranger to Ellisa.
"Hows it? Their destiny is incredible, isn't it?" Azril was suddenly at the door.
Heldir turned to the voice. He shook his head, "it seems that whenever the two are indeed inseparable."
"Hasn't anyone noticed yet?" Further asked.
Azril walked up to Xio's bed and sat on his edge while looking at Xio's still-asleep face. "If they knew Xio had returned with him, maybe Xio's life wouldn't be as peaceful as it is now." He said while removing Xio's crown, for fear that he was uncomfortable sleeping while wearing the crown.
"Now her name is Ellisa, and they both already have children. I can't bear to see Xio's past." Said Azril putting Crown Xio beside his sleeping pillow.
"Maybe it's okay. Xio is now happy with his wife." Heldir.
"You're easy to talk like that. You know for a long time how his temperament is when it comes to his wife." Sahut Azril's.
"Hahh.." Heldir sighed. "It's very confusing. If only those people hadn't disturbed his life, there probably wouldn't have been that." Annoyed annoyed.
"You know what else, the past can't be reworked." Answer Azril.
The two of them chatted until Xio finally woke up. "Grandfather, what are you talking about?" Xio sat down. And Azril gave Xio some drinking water first.
"We're talking about how beautiful your wife is." Heldir said to Ellisa in the photo.
"Not talking about my wife, is it?" Xio asked with a sharp, threatening look and from his gaze was like he could kill someone.
"No-no oath!" Heldir shook his head quickly.
"Haha you seem to love your wife very much." Azril
