Your Highness. You have a letter from humanity.
Vyvyan took the letter from the ssenger. The north shouldve been a field of heavy snow, but after she arrived, all the snow lted overnight, and the northern army returned to their camp. Vyvyan opened the letter and revealed a strange smile on her face. She spoke to herself This sheet of paper it looks like that woman is unsettled. Fakes are fakes in the end. Theyre always one step behind no matter what.
Lucia walked up to the queen and asked, Your Highness, did the humans send you a letter? What did they say?
Hmm
Vyvyan fell into a silence for a mont before smiling and replying, To put it simply, the humans are unsatisfied with your marriage. It looks like they want to find my son a wife so they sent a letter asking to discuss the matter with .
Lucia shrugged it off. Vyvyan looked at her, smiled and said, Arent you worried, Lucia? After all, your fianc is being threatened into marriage by soone.
I am not worried because I trust His Highness. I trust His Highness loves only . And so I am not worried. If there is soone over there who wants to seduce His Highness, I shall personally take her head.
Lucia looked at Vyvyan determinedly. Vyvyan smiled and then responded, Humanitys empress is coming over, so we do have to receive her whatever the case may be. However, Lucia, you dont have to worry. I will never accept humans.
I know. I received a letter from my father a few days ago. My wedding dress is ready. We can get married next month. Although Lucias eyes were still half-shut, her excitent couldnt be contained and displayed itself in her voice. Two childhood friends could finally tie the knot. That had always been Lucias dream until now. She could finally realise it. The future she craved was right in front of her. She just had to reach out to grab it.
My son is in Galle Village right now. Lucia, dont you want to go and see him? You can still make it in ti if you head there now.
Vyvyan casually tossed the letter from the empress into the fire and continued, The matter here has been sorted. The mana deficit here caused the temperature to drop over here and over there. We will soon be able to return to the imperial capital. Lucia, if you miss my son too much, you can leave now.
Lucia stood still with her eyes full of excitent and hope for a mont. If she couldnt see him this month, she wouldnt get to see him for two months. She didnt know how he was doing or if he was in any danger. She really wanted to be by his side. She wanted to be with him. She wanted to prepare for their wedding together with him.
But Lucia looked at the queen and shook her head. She said, No, Your Highness. I will stay here with you and resolve this matter. I will soon be able to marry His Highness. Plus, I also trust His Highness. I believe that His Highness is missing too, so I am in no rush to go and see him. I want to go to see him in my wedding dress. I want to give him a surprise, and guard him by his side one last ti.
Lucia knew that she would lose the wind-elves buffs once she got married, reverting her back into an ordinary elven guard. Her frail body and average magical prowess made it hard to take up the post as His Highnesss bodyguard. When the ti cos, she will beco his wife and lead a peaceful life. Perhaps she would never wear her battle attire again.
Therefore, she wanted to cherish that final mont where she could still protect His Highness. She was soon going to be able to stay by his side forever. She didnt need to covet that mont right now. His Highness wouldnt betray her and nor would she betray His Highness.
Lucia didnt need to worry about anything when their love was so strong.
Vyvyan stood up, stroked Lucias small head and said with a smile, Is that right? I shall leave my son in your hands in the future then. Lucia, Im really anticipating your child. You and my son are so cute, so I trust that your child will be even cuter.
Yes. Thank you, Your Highness.
You can call Mom in the future too.
Vyvyan held up Lucias hands and continued with a smile, Im glad to have a girl like you as my daughter, too.
When speaking of temples, I dont know of any that cos to mind because I dont believe in God. China doesnt have any traditional temple either, so the only temple I had ever seen was the Athena Temple I saw in a movie. The temple of the elves here expressed the sa concept wonderfully but in a different way. They were both rectangular-shaped and looked both dignified and holy.
Upon entering we were t with a corridor that was lit up by a ray of light from the sun. Continuing on ahead along the long corridor led us to the room with the statue of God. The statue of God was huge. The path was created like a mirror, so you could get an under-skirt view of the female elves my foot! The elves devout marble silhouettes. And on two sides were two braziers with intense fires burning.
I was currently sitting on the ground with Luna looking up at the statue. Elves dont have a custom where you must kneel before the statue of God. Everyone just sat however they want without any particular requirents. They just had to look up at the statue of God while thinking about the thing they wanted most.
I looked up at the statue and slowly began making a wreath with my hands. Honestly speaking, the last ti I made a wreath was way back when I was really young, around when I was five or six. I learnt it in crafting classes in kindergarten back then. I never thought Id rember so of it. But I could only put it together while the people around had made theirs into a crown.
Buddy, could you do it for ?
What do I want? To be honest, there really isnt anything that I want because I dont believe that God would help with my problems. If complaining to God could give the answer to the problem that lies before , then I would thank everyone. But I dont believe in God. I hold elves in high regard because magic is a miracle. I dont want God to do sothing for , though.
Maybe it was just a form of dignity I always had. Weve never begged a God for millenniums. Weve always had to solve our problems with our own hands, whether it was a natural disaster or an accident caused by man. Hence, I dont believe God will help .
I just silently thought about Lucia. I hope shes safe in the north and can safely return to my side, without so much as a scratch. But she should probably be fine with Mom protecting her.
As I drowned in my thoughts, my hands started to slow down. I looked at the wreath I desperately tried to put together and then gently placed it on Lunas head.
Luna giggled softly and lowered her head with a shy smile on her face. She leaned on and hugged my arm tightly. I raised my head up to look at God and smiled bitterly. Im supposed to make a wreath for my lover in front of God, and yet I was thinking about my lover while putting the wreath onto another girls head.
I wonder if God will be angry.
Freya, who was at my side, maintained her posture while she looked at the statue of God and said, Brother, I cant shake off the feeling that people are watching us.
Uhm, I can sense it too.
It looks like I need to do an experint. Brother, we are in a very precarious situation right now. If we do not take the initiative, we will die.
It looks like youre pretty excited.
Ive gone through sothing sadder than death to a woman after all.
Freya chuckled softly. She then gave a bunch of flowers she plucked from who-knows-where and handed them to . She tilted her head and said, So I want a wreath too.
Are these two things related in any capacity?!
