"Have a seat," Arabel said, pointing to the empty seats in front of her. "Let's discuss this over breakfast."
Once they were settled, Arabel turned to the side and said,
"Stop hiding, Sister, co out and join us."
Iona and Samuel looked in surprise in the sa direction Arabel was looking, but there was no one there. There was a question on their faces: "Who is she talking to?"
Irina, on the other hand, had been staring at Arabel with a thoughtful look ever since she saw her.
"There's no hiding from you, sister," a woman's voice rang out, and a long—legged beauty with long blond hair, the ends of which were dark, appeared in front of everyone.
"You forget where you are, Sister," — Arabel reminded her.
Milena shook her head, smiling, rembering that in the Kingdom Arabel, like Idan, had absolute power, and no one could hide from their attention.
Milena, accompanied by surprised glances from Iona and Samuel, took a seat next to Arabel.
As soon as everyone was seated, Arabel said to the waitress,
"Waitress!"
The waitress who was waiting for them quickly approached the table.
"Order whatever you want at my expense," Arabel said to Irina and the others.
Irina finally tore her gaze away from Arabel and, lingering on Milena, took the nu offered.
Iona started ordering the dishes first.
Samuel sat in a daze, unable to take his eyes off Milena. Despite her golden eyes and unusual shade of hair, he recognized her as the forr disappeared heiress of the Orleans family, to which he belonged.
"Milena, is that you?" he managed to say.
Milena, looking up from the nu, looked at Samuel and, simply nodding, continued to choose a dish.
"What? How? When?"— these questions sward through Samuel's head, replacing each other. It was a real miracle to see Milena alive and perfectly healthy, who was abandoned by her family.
"What did you choose, sir?" The waitress's words brought Samuel back to reality, pulling him out of a stream of thoughts full of questions.
When he saw that everyone had already decided on a choice, he quickly scanned the nu and, without reading carefully, chose several dishes and a drink.
"Okay, please wait," the waitress said and left.
After she left, there was a slight silence at the table.
"Based on what I saw on the way here, I can assu that you already know about the imminent appearance of the Quintessences of the Elents?" said Irina, breaking the silence.
"The Quintessence of the elents?" said Arabel and Milena at the sa ti, looking at each other.
"It seems that in their world, the Seeds of Law are called the Quintessences of the Elents," Sierra ca to the rescue, expressing her suggestion through the Soul Force so that Arabel and Milena could hear it.
"As far as we know, their world is still at the peak of the middle stage. Most of the creatures living in these elental worlds have not yet co into contact with the Laws and, by and large, do not even suspect their existence. The only exceptions are the few rulers of their world who were able to reach rank 6," Sierra added.
"Hmm, that's it," Arabel and Milena nodded to themselves.
"Yes, we are aware," Arabel replied to Irina's question.
Irina also nodded. If she had any doubts before coming here that the Kingdom didn't know about the Quintessences of the Elents, then after what she saw with her own eyes, those doubts were dispelled.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush, so I'll get right to the point. I wanted to et you in person, Arabel Morgan Fein, to..."
"Fein,"— Arabel interrupted. "Arabel Fein, without Morgan."
Irina noticed the determination in Arabel's eyes. If earlier she could still assu that Arabel still has a connection with her Morgan family, now this assumption has been completely dispelled.
"Arabel Fein," Irina said, without ntioning Morgan's last na, as Arabel had asked. "I want to offer you an alliance between my faction and the Kingdom and work together to compete for the Quintessences of the Elents."
Samuel and Iona, stunned by this suggestion, looked at Irina in surprise.
However, Arabel and Milena showed no surprise. A smirk appeared on Arabel's face.
"Why do you think we're interested in these Quintessences of the elents?" she asked defiantly.
"Why would we risk our people when it's mostly Rank 5 creatures that will be fighting for these Quintessences of the Elents?"
Irina smiled at Arabel's question.:
"Because I'm sure you won't stay away."
"Your Guild has already managed to kill one Guardian of Light, severely injure another, and even capture one of them. And this is not counting the fact that you killed a fifth-rank Creature of Darkness and sohow defeated the ruler of one of the Territories of Darkness, a sixth-rank Creature. And the number of Platinum-ranked creatures you've eliminated and abducted is already impossible to count at all."
Iona and Samuel, upon hearing the list of achievents of the Kingdom Guild, gaped in shock.
"You're wrong," Arabel countered. "The Queen of the Womskinner race, a Rank 6 creature, almost killed and my husband. We were completely helpless against her."
"We were just lucky," she continued. "We were able to trick her into a trap from which she couldn't escape."
Arabel recalled with a shudder her experience of encountering a Rank 6 creature. The difference between rank 5 and rank 6 was so great that she didn't want defeating such a powerful opponent to be associated with their Guild.
Without the help of Sierra and the others from Limbo, her Guild did not yet have enough strength to deal with such creatures.
Irina looked at Arabel curiously, wanting to know more about the mysterious disappearance of the Womskinner race Queen, which was a real shock to the Territory of Darkness.
Until now, no one knew what had happened to the Queen, where she had disappeared to, or if she was still alive.
Lately, Irina has been hearing amazing rumors that the Queen is still alive. There were even absurd suggestions that she was hiding here, inside this mysterious barrier.
Which, of course, Irina didn't believe until today.
However, now that she found out about the existence of powerful beings that lurk here, for so reason, she began to believe these rumors.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the restaurant, which distracted everyone and attracted everyone's attention.
A small red creature with two pairs of wings burst noisily into the hall, spewing sparks of fla from its mouth.
It was Idan's baby dragon.
Upon entering the restaurant, the dragon jumped up to the counter and began insistently demanding food from Sofia. A spark of lightning flew in after It, and a small wolf cub appeared with its tongue hanging out, which joined its companion and began demanding food.
Looking at these two creatures, Arabel couldn't help but laugh.
