392 The Annoying Visitor
Dorothy’s POV:
The days I spent alone in the elven territory were boring. Besides the endless number of visitors, I had a good ti.
Many people ca to ‘visit’ and were all here for my ‘prophecy’. I knew this was related to the Council of Elders, but I couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. Since they were so fickle and did one thing in front of and another behind my back, they must have been prepared to be devoured by fate, right?
I sent most of the visitors away perfunctorily, but I still had to deal with a few of them slowly.
For example, the handso youth in front of , the Crown Prince of the elven race.
Although the werewolves were also considered a race with a long lifespan, they did not live as long as the elves. Even their appearances were blessed by ti. Thus, I felt a bit of a contrast to a sixty-year-old who still looked like he had just returned from middle school.
The Crown Prince’s purpose for coming here was very simple. Although he intended to cover it up, such a contradiction made him seem a little ridiculous.
Like the other visitors, he had co to ask to help him see if his future was going well. He was thinking about whether he could succeed or not and whether he would reencounter those obstacles.
However, I could promise anyone but him because what he wanted to see was not a tiny matter – whether or not he could beco the Elf King in the future and when he would beco the Elf King.
I would be crazy to help.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I think you’ve misunderstood .” I tried to say the sa things I told others. “Fate is a very mysterious thing. I can’t see it just because I want to. I can’t do without the right ti, place, and people. So I can’t help you. I hope understand.”
However, the Crown Prince had obviously co prepared. “But I’ve heard that your father can receive instructions from fate at any ti and place. As his daughter, I don’t think you need to belittle yourself. I want an answer and a ti. I don’t want anything else. I’m the Crown Prince of the elven race. I can give you any reward you want, and I can guarantee the safety of this matter.”
“This has nothing to do with gains, Your Highness. It’s just that I’m not as powerful as my father, and the Goddess of Fate doesn’t care much for . I had no choice but to tell this lie.”
“Co on. Excessive modesty is regarded as arrogance. Could you please be honest with ? I’m very familiar with your father. If he were here, he would agree to your help.”
I began to get tired of this little brat who was humble on the surface but arrogant on the inside. It was impossible that he didn’t understand what I ant. Not only did he pester , but he also used my father’s na to pressure . Since he was familiar with my father, why wouldn’t he ask my father to take a look? ‘You just don’t dare to, so you ca to pressure a weaker person like !’
Just as Selma said, I was not an elf anyway. I was not afraid that I wouldn’t be able to stay in the elf race even if I offended a Prince. So, I rejected the Crown Prince directly, causing his face to turn red and white. Ultimately, he couldn’t even maintain the gentle expression he had deliberately put on and left in anger.
What a detestable and slow-witted fellow. No wonder the elders did not support him in inheriting the throne!
In short, after three days of disturbance, my father finally returned to the capital, travel-worn.
The Council of Elders said it would take a day to make the leading sacrifice, so we had to wait until night to start the observation officially.
Before that, I had a short eting with my father. The atmosphere was more relaxed than I had imagined, but it wasn’t much better either. Although I already knew that my parents ‘abandoned’ to protect , the gap between us for more than twenty years couldn’t be lted quickly. So, we only exchanged a few words and then nothing else.
In the end, I couldn’t help but ask, “Where is Mother now? Is she doing well? I didn’t see her in the capital.”
My father was stunned and said uneasily, “She’s at ho... In one of our houses in the depths of the elf forest. She’s fine, don’t worry. Actually, I don’t usually co to the capital. I’m invited to be a guest this ti, and I just happened to be in ti for these things. Your mother doesn’t like crowds, so she rarely cos with .”
“Mother is ho alone? Isn’t that dangerous? What if she runs into the Azazel’s party or Leviathan believers?”
“It won’t happen. Our house is hidden in a folded space. No one can break this defense other than your mother and I.”
Then, we were left speechless. A heavy silence spread in the air.
After a while, my father bade farewell in a hurry. I looked at his back as he left, but I didn’t ask him to stay.
Not all family relations were closely connected by blood. Fate was fair. I had obtained a special power that others couldn’t get, so I would inevitably lose sothing to maintain the balance. Perhaps my family was the price I was destined to pay in my life.
