"What? Work here?" Auristela repeated Andres' words. The man who was taller than Arion offered her and Arion to work on this farm. Who is Andres, is Andres the owner of the farm? Auristela's pupils dilated, was her guess right?
"Yes." Andres nodded. He turned to the farm. "I employ two people here." He smiled at Auristela and Arion. "Don't worry. We'll teach you how to herd and express milk."
Auristela looked at Arion, they both looked at each other. Auristela felt guilty because she used to think that Andres and Anthoni worked as shepherds on this farm. Auristela scratched her itchy neck. "Excuse me, is this farm yours?"
Andres nodded. "Yes."
Almeta took one step forward, standing next to Andres. She grabbed Auristela who was standing in front of Andres. "I'd be happy if you two worked here. I finally have a female friend." Almeta's face shone brightly, smiling very broadly.
Auristela smiled faintly. "I …." She glanced at Arion who was looking at the road. "I can't decide for myself. Give us time to think." Auristela knows it's hard to persuade Arion.
Andres nodded in understanding. "Yeah, think about my offer. Whenever you're ready, come here."
Anthoni saw Andres' sturdy back, he didn't understand why Andres offered Arion and Auristela a job. Because Andres is the type of person who is very careful and not easy to believe.
"Thank you for offering us the job," Arion said. He still had doubts about, whether he would accept it or not. However, with Andres' good intentions he must respond well too.
"Honestly, I hope you two want to work here." Andres smiled. "Don't worry about salary, I'm not a stingy person."
Auristela chuckled, while Arion smiled faintly. "You said, you hired two people?"
"Yes." Andres nodded.
"I never see them, I always see you or Anthoni or you two." Auristela was confused.
"If we come, they go home. Alternately." Anthony answered.
Auristela nodded in understanding.
"You two will meet them later." Andres was shocked when a squirrel ran past his feet.
"It was late afternoon." Arion looked at Auristela, his twin sister understood what he meant. The two of them said goodbye to the three humans who for some reason they often met, and they continued their journey back to the inn.
Andres raised his hand before Anthoni made a sound to ask. "Ask later." Anthoni closed his mouth. Almeta shrugged her shoulders, she was also confused.
Auristela and Arion took a stroll through the Omega mountains which always fascinated them. Several times they met people who walked or rode horses.
"Rion."
"Yes?"
"You will accept Andres' offer?"
Arion shrugged his shoulders, hesitating. "I don't know."
"Why? As of today, you haven't gotten a job." Auristela kicked pebbles in any direction. One of the sizable stones hit the rabbit who was sitting under a tree, and the white rabbit immediately ran. She felt guilty. If only she could speak the animal language.
Arion let out a long breath, Auristela is right. He looked up, his green eyes staring at the leaves of the shady trees, leaving only a small gap for sunlight to penetrate. He doesn't have a job yet, if in the next few days he doesn't work, the money that his father gave him will run out. Father did tell them to go to the horse farm when the money ran out, but he was embarrassed and he was too lazy to go back to the elven kingdom. Because his father's horse farm was not far from the kingdom's territory.
"From childhood, we are used to herding horses which are much wilder than goats. We have also used to milk horses." Auristela jumped to pick the very beautiful purple flower.
Arion nodded his head, confirming Auristela's words. The only difference is that the horse is tall, while the goat is small. But sometimes some goats have tall and large bodies.
"Rion."
Arion turned his head, again he didn't realize Auristela had stopped walking. They were facing each other, about five meters apart. "Why?"
Auristela looked at the purple wisteria flowers. "Have you ever missed flying with wings?"
Arion looked around, it was dangerous if anyone heard him. "Yes, of course." He also looked at the wisteria flower whose stems dangled almost touching the ground. "Stela, we have to get back soon, before the sun goes down."
Auristela sighed. She decided to follow Arion, so she can't be sorry. When they were living in the palace, they rarely used their wings. Just as a display, wings are the most important part of their lives, equal to their lives. Auristela shook off all longing thoughts using those wings, then she smiled as she ran after Arion. "Let us go home!" said Auristela after standing next to Arion.
"You've decided?" Auristela asked Arion. "If you accept it, so will I."
Arion glanced out of the corner of his eye. "Why? So you don't learn to cook?"
Auristela smiled broadly as she held up her two thumbs. "That's right. I'm too lazy to cook." She chuckled.
Arion rolled his eyes.
"Drizzling." Auristela raised her hand, and two drops of water wet her palm. They were only halfway to the inn.
"We have to run before the rain gets heavier." Arion pulled Auristela's hand, they ran through the water that fell from the sky which was getting more and more intense. Arion suddenly stopped in his tracks, resulting in Auristela crashing into his back.
"Rion!" Auristela stroked her nose which was throbbing in pain.
Arion smiled a little, he stroked Auristela's small nose. "Sorry. Looks like we can't continue our journey. The ground is muddy, we could slip if we run." He glanced to the right. His sharp eyes saw the cave 3 meters away from them. "There's a cave over there. We'd better take shelter until the rain stops."
Aurel shuddered when she saw the muddy ground, luckily Arion was careful. Otherwise, they will slip and return home covered in dirt. "Come on. It's raining hard." Auristela walked first, she was careful in her steps so as not to slip.
"Cold." Auristela stood in front of the mouth of the cave, hugging her drenched body.
Arion looked at the dark sky, the trees around the cave were not shady so they could see the sky. Arion looked into the dark cave, then he heard the sound of footsteps slowly approaching from the direction of the cave. He gently pushed Auristela slightly away from the mouth of the cave, Auristela just obeyed.
Auristela screamed in surprise, when a spear made of wood shot towards her feet, almost hitting her sandal-clad feet. Her heart almost fell out. She glared at the spear stuck in the ground. "Who throws this spear?"

He didn't want to lose a single piece of information entering the palace. Usually, he would know all the news from Anthoni, who would report to him at night. It was the morning and he had already had breakfast; usually, he would go straight from the palace to tour all the Grassland areas. But this morning, he was trapped here, in the king's throne room. The king wanted him to read all incoming reports, but his uncle did not ask his opinion at all. Andres gl
Chapter 33
Arion and Auristela's goal decided to stay in Grassland because they felt Grassland was the closest place to the elven clan and a safe place. After all, the original citizens of Grassland were humans. Although some of them were not pure humans, some were from the Abdian clan, who were humans who were bestowed with the boon of longevity. One that is originally from the Abdian clan is the royal family, and it is said that some nobles are also from the Abdian clan.Arion and Auristela just want to find a country that is comfortable for them to live in and a place where they make money. But they did not expect to meet all of them. Who are they? Andres, Anthoni, Almeta, and Madam Belanca. What made them most uncomfortable was Madam Belanca because the witch knew their identity. Even though Madam Belanca had promised not to reveal they are true identity, they didn't really believe it and were afraid that one day Madam Belanca would use their secret to threaten them or something.However, Ari

The market was getting busier as several people gathered after hearing the screams of the person who told him he had found a thief's wallet of a mother who was shopping. Market visitors surrounded the thief. Some whispers questioned the truth of the news because the young man accused of being a thief didn't look like a thief.Andres took a deep breath. This is the most unlucky day of his life. He had already explained that he wasn't a thief; someone had bumped into him earlier and didn't know how the stolen wallet fell on the ground next to his feet. A thief hit him; he wasn't the one! But the older man wearing the green shirt didn't believe it and told him to tell the truth. Andres was innocent, so why would he lie? Just because the clothes are the same as the perpetrator!Anthoni's face turned red with anger. He glared at the older man who was accusing Andres. "Don't talk nonsense! He's not a thief! He's my friend, we've always been together since we entered the market. Don't just b
Chapter 31
Andres's routine every morning is walking around Grassland. Usually, he would start walking from the Northeast region, but today he wanted to start from the North region because he was in the mood to buy food. Anthoni is always worried that if Andres buys food at the market, he is afraid that the crown prince will have a stomach ache or have problems with digestion. But so far, Andres had never experienced anything like that, even though he was used to eating highly nutritious foods in the palace.Andres waited for his favorite food, which was being fried. His eyes looked around him. He pays attention to every activity of the citizens he will lead. King Dustin isn't going to give him power any time soon, and he's still too young to be a king anyway. Andres smiled at the sight of small children fighting to feed a bird."Do you remember the first time we met?" Seeing three small children laughing made Anthoni remember the past."I always remember it." Andres nodded. "I can't possibly fo

Auristela and Arion had lived in Grassland for a long time. So far, Arion has been busy working, and Auristela has only followed her twin brother while learning to cook with the farmers' wives. Today the farmers don't want to see Arion in their fields and gardens because they know Arion needs to rest and enjoy life while still young. Because the farmers didn't want to accept Arion's presence and they worked on Andres' farm during the day, Auristela pulled Arion's hand to the market, which was in the northern area, which was a few hundred meters from their inn. Auristela has wanted to go to the market for a long time, and this morning she will not waste her chance.Auristela walked happily and a big smile formed on her beautiful face. She was happy to see all the food and products sold in the market; it felt like she wanted to taste all the food. Back in the elf clan, she was forbidden to go out of the palace alone; she always went out with her mother and sat in the horse-drawn carriag
Chapter 29
Auristela laughed with the goats that were standing around her. She did not know why the goats always wanted to be close to her. Like on her father's horse farm, the horses loved approaching her and inviting her to play. Ah, Auristela misses horseback riding. "Hey, you're the smallest goat. Come over here." Auristela hugged the smallest goat and stroked the belly and head of the submissive little goat.This afternoon the sky is blue. Birds flew here and there with joy, like those who were on Andres' goat farm.Auristela is busy playing with the goats while Arion is milking. Almeta chewed grilled corn while sitting on the bench, and she smiled at Auristela."Auristela," Almeta yelled. She was amazed by the two elves, who quickly became familiar with the goats. "Have you ever liked a boy?" She asks a random question. She always wanted to ask her female friend about this—a private conversation between women.Auristela frowned. Almeta's question was beyond expectation. She never thought t
