500 An Extension
Selma Payne’s POV:
I left so space for Rhode and Emma before leaving.
It was enough to let them confide in each other. I would only be embarrassing myself if I stayed there.
It was already the end of October, and the weather had already begun to turn cold. I asked the driver to drive around my Lycan pack, and I looked at the scenery through the window.
The storm of public opinion caused by the Evaria Family had gradually subsided. The newspaper’s front page had long been occupied by other news, and the public no longer criticized the family at the table or on the streets.
I saw a poster of the Association of Missing Persons on the board. After exposure to the sun, the color began to fade and beco tattered.
Everything was on the right track, and nothing could change this world’s laws. Be it good or bad, food, clothing, housing, and transportation were the eternal truths of the people.
And I needed to protect these and not let anyone or anything destroy the peaceful lives of the people.
The monitoring on the Evaria Family’s side did not yield any results, but there was news from the elves. The exchange students, little elves, should have finished their studies. They were supposed to return to the elves in early October.
However, the new governnt sent a brief ssage, hoping to extend the ti for these children to study abroad, and they would cover all the expenses.
Even though the Crown Prince had been executed, the internal strife would not stop just because of the fall of a certain power. The Great Elder resigned from his position, and the president, Sirius, obtained the opportunity to control the Elven Capital City as he wished.
Although he wasn’t a great character, he governed the country well. Putting aside the complicated reform process, in the short span of a year, the Elven Capital City, which had suffered a great loss in vitality, had rapidly recovered. The people lived and worked in peace and contentnt, and the negative effects of the disaster were dispelled as quickly as possible.
This led to the developnt of the Vatican region, and for a ti, the new governnt had a very good reputation among the elven race.
Unfortunately, the public’s opinion couldn’t affect the other forces’ dislike of the new governnt. After a few rounds of a ga that outsiders couldn’t see, the elves finally split.
The temporary western alliance first announced that it would break away from the new governnt’s control and establish an autonomous union, no longer subject to the new governnt’s rule. After that, the southern border area also beca restless. It seed that they did not take the order of the new governnt seriously. Without permission, so cities and states openly moved into the four cities of Spring, Sumr, Autumn, and Winter, which had beco dead cities. They had the intention of taking the opportunity to expand their territory.
On the other hand, things were still peaceful in the north. I still kept in touch with Garland City through my personal relationship. Although the mayor of Garland City occasionally complained that the new governnt was oppressing the nobles and lords too much, he didn’t seem to intend to start a new business.
The president was a reformist, so after he ca to power, he strongly advocated reform to weaken the power of the nobles and lords so that more ordinary people could co to the stage.
Although he still used the power given to him by the unconscious Elf King in na, the na and official seal used in the public docunts completely belonged to the new governnt, and there was no trace of the Elf King.
However, after a year of observation, I noticed that the new governnt had promoted many large rchants and financial groups without any titles to join the governnt, while the ordinary people rely shouted their slogans loudly.
It seed that the reform was not so thorough. Rather than saying that he wanted to break the situation of blood-related politics, it was better to say that he understood that it was difficult for him to get much support from the nobles and lords, so he supported the giant rchants and rich people to fight against the old forces.
As for these exchange students, most of them were orphans, and only a few of them were of noble birth. I didn’t understand why the new governnt would find an excuse to banish them. A group of ten-year-old children couldn’t rise and drag him down, right?
After a few rounds of probing, the new governnt was still unwilling to let the exchange students go ho. Of course, I could force them to go back. They were not my people, and it was only natural for the elves to return to the elves.
However, I wasn’t sure what kind of treatnt these helpless orphans would receive when they returned, so after signing the disclair agreent, I agreed to extend the study period for exchange students.
As the representative of the exchange students, Amario attended the signing of the agreent. He looked indifferently at his country’s diplomat, who seed to have thrown away a hot potato and used a piece of paper to exile them from their hotown. He showed a kind of indifference that did not match his age.
I then went to inspect the exchange student’s residence.
It was a coincidence that these children were studying at Sivir Academy, my alma mater. The male and female dormitories were in different dormitories.
The young elves were living together with the children of the werewolves. According to my observations, there had been no vicious bullying incidents in school.
I had dinner with the elves. Before I left, Amario suddenly said to , “Your Highness, can we still go ho?”
I looked at him and the little elves behind him. Their faces were filled with fear and uneasiness, like little puppies that had been abandoned on a rainy day.
“Yes, children.” I nodded firmly. “When you finish your studies, you can return ho and contribute to your people.”
