Elven goods are excellent to humans because their goods, which were made with mana, are more beautiful and exquisite than that humans make. However, due to the fact that the products contain mana, elves are needed in order to make the products.
I went to Vyvyans room, again.
I dont know what the story is, but Vyvyan has been in an especially good mood recently. So good that she doesnt get angry when she sees taking a stroll with Elizabeth. Instead, she presses her hands on her stomach and looks at Elizabeth with an extrely strange smile, the way youd smile when mocking and looking down on soone.
That caused Elizabeth and to be completely bewildered as to what was going on.
Didnt Mommy tell you already? Although Mommy loves you, Mommy cannot use Mommys influence to make elves work for humans. The elves wont agree to it, even if I order them to. In the end, you will have endless conflict and contradictions, too. Mommy is thinking for your betternt, Son. Vyvyan rejected once again.
She wore a comforting smile as she stroked my head. She then said, Sorry my son. If you need Mommy, Mommy wont hesitate to stay. But Mommy cant get the others to be like Mommy. Mommy isnt a tyrant like Elizabeth. Mommy can bring it up with them, but cannot force them.
I nodded. I could understand Moms difficulties.
The elves didnt want to interact too much with the outside world, to begin with. However, I didnt give up because I knew my father was an elf who was willing to interact with humans, back then. I have faith that an elf, among the elves, is willing to interact with humans.
Mom, didnt my father want to interact with humans back then? Are there still elves willing to interact with humans? Elves and humans have started trade relations, so they should be communicating a lot more than in the past. Is there no elf who is willing to live here in humanitys lands?
If we cant force them, we can still encourage a few of them to co over, right? I dont believe that theres no one whos willing to co Elves and humans had kids together back then. Arent there bound to be other elves whod be interested in that, too? Furthermore, elves and humans are interacting a lot more now.
Vyvyan shook her head, Do you rember Onii-samas ending? If were talking about back then, we didnt know what humans were like, so we were curious about them. However, that group of curious elves is already dead. There is basically no one left who is willing to interact with humans more than absolutely necessary.
It looks like the war ten years ago left a traumatic image with the elves But I think Elizabeths order was definitely a vengeful scorched Earth strategy. That basically made elves averse to interacting with humans at all again.
If it werent for trade relations, the two races might have broken off all communications completely.
But it looks like its thanks to that weve managed to maintain the most basic level of peace between the two races. It looks like theres no such thing as true peace on this continent. Or rather its only peaceful on the surface. As soon as sothing happens to , their anger and resentnt will explode and the continent will be engulfed in war once again.
I need to protect myself properly not only for myself but also for the sake of maintaining the peace on this continent
But not all elves submit to . Vyvyan looked at my expression and chuckled softly. She then continued, Son, do you rember the dark elves? So countless small elven tribes, that arent willing to submit to , reside in the forest. They were pursued by us, back then, but we have already forgiven them. However, they still arent willing to leave the forest.
I think that those elves would still be willing to work in humanitys lands since a permanent ho and food is very important to those elves.
I lingered for a mont before asking, Them? Are they truly useful?
Of course they are. They werent banished because of mana or sothing. They were banished for other reasons. They were driven out when they didnt support the right side in the internal elven war back then. If you can find them and bring them here, you will be able to begin your dye business. Vyvyan replied with a smile.
The plan should benefit both of us. I dont think Vyvyan wants to see tribes opposing her in her own forest, either; such as the dark elves. After the incident last ti, Vyvyan is definitely more concerned about powers opposing her.
If humanity goads them into assassinations, Vyvyan will have to slaughter again.
Not that Im saying that she didnt slaughter a bunch last ti already
I can provide them with a respectable job. They didnt get affected by the war last ti, either. I think theyd throw a celebration if they saw the Galadriel tribe get driven back like that. As they say, your enemys enemy is your friend. Im sure that the group definitely likes ganging up.
I looked at Mom and asked, Do you know where they are then, Mom?
Vyvyan gently tapped the corner of her mouth and then responded with a smile, Of course, Mommy knows where they are. They thought they were very well hidden, but I knew very well where they were. Its just that its not the best idea for Mommy to go and personally kill them. Therefore, Mommy shall let you complete this job, Son. But rember, Son, you cant live on the elven side right now. Your mana has only recovered temporarily. Before it completely recovers, you cant be on the elven side, so
I dawdled for a mont.
I cant ask Mom to do this as theres no way she could convince them. If they saw Mom, theyd definitely get into a fight with her; not to ntion that they cant beat her. Then their hidden mbers will get eradicated And then my last hope will go poof
Elves by my side elves by my side
It seems that the only elf Ive always been ordering around is Lucia But Lucia is pregnant so theres no chance in hell Im letting Lucia leave . Id rather not have this city then to put her at risk.
So, Son, do you want to get the imperial guards to handle this matter? Of course, if the prince was to personally go, the hidden elves would see it as you showing them a form of respect. Its best if you send soone who is at your side. The closer they are to you the better.
Vyvyan stood up and then waved her hand. A few tiny dots appeared on the map to the side.
Vyvyan handed the map and said, The dots on this map are their gathering spots. Just pass this map on to soone you trust, Son. Do you have anyone you can trust around you? If you dont, just let Mommy handle it.
I hesitated for a mont.
Most of the people around are humans As for elves, I only have Lucia. I had ra, but shes dead.
I still took the map, nonetheless, though. To be honest, I still had another person in mind But the person I had in mind probably wasnt a good option. Actually, she was a terrible option. She had just escaped from the elven side, her family mbers on the elven side are all dead, and her family even tried to sell her off
And that person is
Luna.
