Chapter 219
Evade the Hero and Flee! 219 A princesss mory (26)
#37 Other circumstances: A villains circumstance.
After seeing the weaklings, I imdiately went to Rea, and I could barely suppress a curse.
Sir Ast? What are you doing here?
Rea approached
quickly to see how my temper was rising, even though she seed surprised to see
on the day we were supposed to et our troops.
Are they yours?
I could only watch Reas troops training and knew imdiately that they were elite soldiers. She would be unable to make them elites within the hour it took
to get here by horseback.
Do you know the standard of my troops?
Rea shook her head.
Arent they similar to mine?
I would not have co here if they were even adequate. However, mine drank on duty.
Will you co with ?
Rea looked at
with suspicious eyes, but did so after a few words with her sergeants.
I will go now.
She ran using magic, and I could not catch a Sword Master doing so. At least I knew she was not in league with this situation, which ant only one person was left.
Your highness.
What is it?
The princess did not even try to hide her smile.
I believe youre aware of the reason.
I cant read minds.
However, her eyes told
a different story.
Is that it?
Yes.
That one word ant I had to make the best of her trick. I sighed, and the princess glared at
for a mont before speaking again.
The elves sent you a gift.
A gift?
You did save one of their nobles.
She asked her maid to bring the present, and two soldiers carefully brought a large box.
Is it heavy?
No one knows, but I heard it was sothing rare and should be carefully treated.
How can your highness not know?
Since the elf you saved sent it, its possible.
The present seed foreboding. At least I would not get cursed since I am immune to curses.
While her majesty also seed askance, she asked
to open the present. While there would normally be a complicated procedure for a mber of the Imperial Family to open a present, a high elf sent it.
I opened the box and narrowed my eyes.
What is this?
I saw that it was a thick tree branch from an old tree and had a surprisingly divine aura.
What is that?
Her highness said the sa thing as she stood up to see the box.
It is still fresh.
I think it was cut a short while ago.
Is it a special tree from the elves forest? The tree will be sothing if the branch is this impressive.
I think it would sell well as furniture.
I agree.
The branchs scent cald ones senses. That may have been why I opened the letter despite knowing who had sent this box.
Lets seePrince, I am sending a branch of the World Tree you said you needed
What?
Her majesty turned cold as her small hand rubbed the branch.
A branch of the World Tree?
It does feel alive.
I could not reply to her words as I vacantly read the letter.
What does it say?
That she and I are destined to et again, and that she will
Stop saying such nonsense.
I went back in the letter as her majestys voice turned ice cold.
I send the branchwhich I picked from the World TreeI did it myself. While it was a difficult job, you wanted it. It was thrilling to smuggle thisShall I read more?
Not necessary.
Her highness looked like an old woman in her eighties as she sighed wearily. It was like she thought about what she had to go through such ordeals like this.
Ast. Did you want the World Tree so badly an elf would send a branch?
It was a joke. Dont think I said it seriously. I did not ask for a branch in the first place!
The World Tree was what the Goddess left behind to protect the enslaved elves due to human greed. The tree was said to have been planted by the Goddess and was the legacy she had left with most of her power. Elves would take a seed from it and wait for it to grow before building a village.
To think an elf would pick a branch offeven wooden canes used only by high-class elves were made of naturally fallen branches.
Ast?
I could see she was asking
what I was going to do with only her eyes.
I
I had only said it in jest because I needed a special ingredient for the plan I was hatching. I had only been preparing for my next position as an instructor, as my first job had been filled with many difficulties.
I needed to prepare for a situation where words would not make a difference and for instructees who would not listen.
That was when I thought of a bat that would not harm them but teach them a lesson and keep them from harming themselves and .
One of my teachers back when I was in Korea had effectively used it on , and while using it on re students was bad, to people who may harm others if not kept in lineIt was a project worth preparing for, and I acted as such.
Before I ca to the palace, I had requested a bat to the dwarves. A weapon that would not kill had struck a chord with one of the dwarf clans, and they began to try.
However, they failed multiple tis despite the huge amounts of money that had gone in.
The dwarves told
that normal tal would not work, and there was not enough money to buy special tal. I tried so mithril I had smuggled, but the effort still failed.
That was when I had ntioned the World Tree branch filled with divine power, but I did not think she would actually
Ast.
It seed she was preparing to send
to the elves, and I opened my mouth.
Your highness, a cri doesnt exist unless it is discovered.
