Rebirth: A Cat with a System

67  The Forest of Nova!

Eve yelled out as she chased after a child of around 5 years old who was running around in the hallways of the Castle. The child was playing around. "EL, will you stop running?"

Elyon yelled out as he rushed through the hallways of the castle, "Catch me if you can!" As he fled, he screamed and laughed, filled with happiness as if he were having the time of his life.

Running through the hallways, he came dangerously close to colliding with the servants who were going about their daily tasks however, he was able to avoid colliding with them each and every time. As he ran, at times he even slid under the legs of walking people, causing them to scream in panic or even fall on their buts. Behind him ran a young woman who was the epitome of a beauty that could topple a kingdom.

This young woman, who had a lovely face and a nice physique, was his older sister. Although she had the ability to perform a number of tasks that some people may believe to be of a supernatural kind, the people who were around her never showed fear of her.

Shortly, Elyon, who had been running at full speed, came to a complete halt when he noticed a man approaching towards him from the corridor. This man had a large number of other men and women following him, and he was giving them instructions as to what they should do.

Zeno Lialynn, the king of the kingdom of Lialynn.

"G-good morning father," Elyon said as he reached him,

"I hope your morning goes well, EL. How have you been? " When Zeno questioned Elyon, with a warm smile on his face, "Have you finished your breakfast yet?" Elyon only stared down, as if he were afraid to look up at Zeno's face.

"I-I am good Father, I was just going to eat it when I met you,"  Elyon remarked, with some trembling in his voice,

During the course of their conversation with him, Eve cought up next to him and noticed her father. "Hey dad, what are you doing?" she said with a lot of enthusiasm.

"We are intending to develop a place for new people to learn things," Zeno stated to her as he gazed at her with the same smile that he gave to his son.

"So, you're referring about a school, right?" Eve asked,

"Yes S-school," Zeno repeated as he glanced at the people around him, a phrase that Lord Nova had taught them that had no meaning in their language, but even though it sounded strange to them, they still used it. Eve queried while looking at him with her head inclined,

"I see, how is it going?" Eve asked, looking at her dad with shining eyes, that he couldn't ignore.

"We plan to first teach everything to the tribal leaders, and then they will teach it to the selected few inside their tribes, who will then teach it in the schools,"  He said,

"Oh yes, EL, your mother is wa-" Zeno made an attempt to say anything, but as he looked down, he noticed that the boy who had been there only a second ago had disappeared from there.

He turned to his daughter and questioned, "Are you sure you haven't taught him anything yet?"

"Haha, no not yet. Simply said, he possesses a stealthy and nimble nature."  Eve remarked while wearing a smug expression on her face.

"I wish, he didn't run away from me like that," Zeno said with a sigh. "Don't worry dad, he is just a kid he only needs some time to get used to things," she said, as she waved her hand to Zeno and said her goodbyes.

"Sigh," he sighed one more time as Eve went he had been doing a lot when EL was born.

"Sigh," another lad in the castle was sighing in his heart in a different part of the castle.

'I just can't seem to get used to him,' he thought.  he glanced around, there was no one else in the corridor, so he calmed down and then made his way to the dining room, where he was expected to eat his breakfast with his mother and sister,

"So you ran again huh?" When he turned around, he heard a familiar voice say "AAAHHH." The moment Elyon recognized the voice, he let forth a piercing scream.

"W-when did you get behind me?" He questioned as he turned his head to look at his sister, who was standing behind him and smiling in a way that was both cute and adorable.

When she picked him up, she added, "I have been here since you sighed in your heart." Elyon jerked back as soon as he heard that, and she continued to pick him up.

'How did she know I was sighing in my heart?' he thought as he enjoyed the ride.

As he sat back and enjoyed the trip, he mused to himself, 'How did she know I was sighing in my heart?'

"Let's go now, mum is waiting," his sister remarked as she led him to the dining room, which was where he was supposed to eat breakfast with his mother and sister. Since his father was always busy, they only ate together at dinner.

He was still repulsed by the sight of him, but Elyon understood that it was not Zeno's fault Zeno had no idea what Elyon's first father had done to him, and had no idea that his son had been suffering from a traumatic experience ever since he was born.

As soon as they entered the room, the two guards opened the doors for them as soon as they got there, and as soon as they entered the dining room they noticed that their mother was seated to the right of the seat where their father sat they saw that their mother was there.

Both of them sat down in a hurry, Eve to the left of Zeno's seat, and Elyon directly beside her seat.

Their mother welcomed them each morning with "Good morning, Eve and El,"

They both greeted their mother in unison with "Good morning, mum."

"So how are you?" Ailyn, their mother, asked Elyon, and as she said this, she commanded the servants to bring in the food. "I am OK, mum I'm just a bit excited to explore the city," Elyon answered as he smelled the perfume of the supper that was being delivered to them.

"I expected as much," she said as she looked at her daughter, "take care of him, he tends to get really excited you know," she said, "I know, he was running in the hallway earlier too," Eve said, as she gave him a side eye, while Elyon remained quiet, despite the fact that he had no excuse for this.

When it came to going outside and discovering new places, he had a habit of being a little too excited, and the fact that he had never left the walls of the castle made him much more excited than he would have been otherwise to go out.

'capital of nova huh?'  He thought, "Mom, I have a question," he said, finally ready to obtain the answers that he had waited so long for, regarding that damned cat.

 "Who exactly is Nova? Why is this city in his named after him?" He didn't want to appear overly curious about things, so he never asked but, now that he was visiting the city, it offered him with the perfect occasion to ask it. He inquired finally, and he could obtain the answer to this one question that had been nagging him for years.

"Have you never mentioned anything to him?" His mother did not respond to Elyon's  question but instead stated asked Eve, "He never showed interest," she said while shrugging her shoulders and eating her meal.

"EL, are you aware with the title of the forests in which we live?" his mother questioned him.

"No, what's the name of the forest?" Once he had finished his meal, he was drinking some tea, and he asked the question while taking a sip of it.

She explained, "The name of it is The Forest of Nova"

Once he let out a loud "Pffffff," all of the tea that was in his mouth flew out of his mouth and onto the table, leaving a rainbow of colors behind.

He was taken aback and said, "What?" because he had no idea what the name of the forest that their country was situated in was The Forest of Nova

His mother simply responded with "Sure" before asking, "But don't we rule this forest?" He didn't wipe his mouth, which still had some tea dripping out of it, and continued to declare, "Father is the king of this forest."

His mother glared at him with a stern expression and remarked, "Manners child."

He replied, "Yes, mum," as he cleaned his mouth with a cloth and then spoke the phrase.

"No, kid, we are not the lords of this forest Lord Nova is the genuine ruler of this forest,"  His mother stated this while pointing out the window behind her, which revealed a large forest in which everyone lived.

"If that's the case, then why is Father the king?" Elyon inquired, unable to believe anything that had just transpired.

"He is not the king of the forest he is the king of the Elves." According to his mother, "Lord Nova was the one who granted us permission to live here. But, that is subject to a condition," she explained.

 "Which is?"  Elyon inquired while developing a strong interest in the subject matter of the cat.

Not only did he make his father the king of this area, but he also assumed the cat statue was a decoration for horses, but it turned out that the statue was actually the True Overlord of this Forest.

"When the plating of the world tree took place. We were all there, including  me and your sister, as well as your father."  As she appeared to reflect on things from the past while she waited.

"And after planting the world tree, Lord Nova presented your father with a responsibility to protect the world tree, with the opportunity of becoming the first king of the elves, however the condition was that if ever a time came when the world tree is in danger our family must abandon everything if order to save it, even if that means that we will have to sacrifice the this whole kingdom, and everyone in it."
