Fallen Fate Online

Rubia turned to Zayne and with a slight smile on her face said, "Yeah, it's me. It took me a long time to get here, but I..."

Whooooooooooosh.

Before Rubia could finish her sentence, Zayne rushed over to her and hugged her tightly with a happy expression. Rubia was shocked for a moment, but then she responded in the same way.

"But I'm glad I made it in time." Rubia muttered as she covered her eyes. This went on for a while until Rubia flinched from Elin's gaze, which literally pierced her.

Lucia noticed them too, but there was no jealousy in her gaze, she was looking at the situation with curiosity.

"Well, I hate to interrupt, but we don't have too much time. Come along, our table is over there." Alden pointed to the right side of the plaza, closer to the podium, where there was a large table with what seemed to be the most sumptuous food.

"Alden, I hope there's room for Rubia?" Zayne glanced at Alden.

"Hah, of course, you didn't even have to ask about such a small thing. That's enough talk, everyone follow me, I have a welcoming speech to prepare." Alden waved his hand and headed forward with a confident stride.

Everyone followed Alden, who sat down in the center of the table. Next to him were Zayne and Kyla. A little farther away sat everyone else, the right side was mostly Zayne, Rubia, Roland, and others, and the left side was everyone who had something to do with the Lareso Family.

"Fine, I think we can start now." Alden signaled to the guards, and all the aisles began to open.

At the same moment, members of the other Noble Families began to take their seats and greet each other, after them everyone else, from merchants to simple farmers and workers, came inside.

Regardless of one's status, everyone was surprised, both by the sight of the main square and the pleasant scent spreading around.

"Hah, Alden is as good as always. Honestly, I was sure he wouldn't manage it, as I certainly wouldn't." The man in the fancy outfit said, looking around.

"Yeah, I agree, although I still don't understand how he did it. It was as if he had a whole army at his disposal that literally dreamed of doing routine tasks." The nobleman smirked, rubbing his chin.

"Well, let's not take too long. I want to see that guy, I think his name is Zayne Fellen, right? They say he broke one nobleman's arm during the banquet and didn't even move an eyebrow!" Someone exclaimed with an excited expression.

"Hehehe, let us be patient. We'll see everything soon. Let's enjoy the wine from the Redfall Family for now." The man laughed as he sat down in his seat.

As for the common people, there were seats for the Players, they were at the very end, but some Players sat among the Nobles, which for others was a real cause for envy.

"Hey... That's him, right?" A girl with short blond hair asked, looking toward Alden's table.

"Yeah, that's Zayne Fellen. I hope you know what needs to be done." A man with long hair and green eyes muttered, glaring angrily at Zayne. He was definitely a nobleman by his appearance.

"Sure. You don't have to worry about it, but are you sure you want it?" A young man with black hair and a sharp gaze asked, carelessly looking around.

"Hmm? Are you worried about failing?" The man frowned.

"No... He may be ahead of everyone now, but he can't stand up to us, am I right?" The young man looked at the girl.

"Whoever he is, we've already cleared one of the Chaos Hearths, too. His big disadvantage is that he does everything alone. NPCs... Oh, I mean Knights and Mages can't walk around with him forever." The girl replied with a pleasant smile on her face, but she looked like a predatory snake in the young man's eyes.

"Well... We'll talk about that later, for now, let's just enjoy this evening. As much as you want to, I'm not going to attack the hero of hundreds of people right in front of them." The young man said calmly and took a glass of wine in his hands. He had a sip and sighed, "Not bad... I've had much better wine, though."

His words puzzled the nobleman, but he could see in the young man's gaze that he was speaking quite sincerely.

'Damn... Looks like he held some kind of high position in his world... Though, if he can avenge my son, I don't care about anything else.' The man muttered inwardly.

After a while, everyone took their seats and had already tasted the wine as well as the food, the initial stage had already passed as well as the sun that had hidden in the sunset behind the mountains, so it was time for the important moment.

"Alden, isn't it time for you to perform?" Lucia asked, swinging her glass from side to side.

"Yeah, you're right. Zayne, come with me. Don't worry you don't have to say anything, but you have to show yourself." Alden smirked, clapped Zayne on the shoulder, and got up.

Zayne gulped and headed after him. He may have been a hero or a man with great power in the eyes of others now, but he could still be afraid of many things, like performing in public. Unlike Alden, who had been the center of attention since childhood, Zayne, instead, was always in the shadows, and his only ray of light was his sister.

"Dan, Jan, watch Alden and Zayne closely." Lucia said as she turned to her two brothers who were sitting next to her. They had blue hair, as did she.

"Is Zayne going to say something?" Jan was puzzled.

Lucia shook her head, "That's not the point. You have to learn how to behave in front of a crowd from Alden, it's important for your future, but don't miss the chance to see the power hidden deep in Zayne's eyes. Even if you are a Noble, you must strive for might."

The Brothers nodded. They dared not interfere with their sister's will. In the Lareso Family, with the exception of their father, Lucia was the most dominant person.

"Khm!" Alden coughed, drawing all attention to himself and instantly stopping all conversation.

He looked around the entire square, hundreds or even thousands of people, and said confidently, "I think it's pretty obvious why you're all here, and I'll show you what you want right away."

Alden's ring shone brightly as a crystal appeared in his hand. He tossed it into the air, and the crystal hovered in the air, directing a beam of light directly at Zayne, who seemed to be standing in the center of the stage.

The light was so bright that Alden's silhouette was completely hidden, and all eyes were directed at Zayne.

'Fuck... How many of them are there?' Zayne gulped, unable to even comprehend how many people were looking at him at the same time, then in the hands of some of them appeared the bluestones with which they could record this performance.

'Well... I guess I should just stand here and let Alden do the rest... This video will probably be watched by millions of people again... Damn, how did it come to this?' Zayne inwardly muttered, sighed, and made a serious face.

"Before we begin, I'd like to give you all that you've been waiting for." Alden slyly smirked as he waved his hand, "A few words from Zayne Fellen! The one who defeated the Apostle in a fair fight!"

At the same moment, Zayne's body was covered in goosebumps.
