I doubted a duke would just let it slide after I got in his face. Nevertheless, I couldnt do anything except wait if anything. Alexis might report to Sisi, but he probably had enough brain cells to know that Sisi wouldnt take his side. In saying that, the matter really irritated .
When I arrived at the imperial capital, I thought I wouldnt have to face any problems, only to discover that sothing completely unrelated to approached . I might want to go and participate or squeeze myself in other circumstances, but not this ti. Id rather die than be dragged into it. The hassle was that they werent convinced I didnt want in. Did they perceive as sobody who wants to stick his nose in everything? Im not that ardent about starting trouble!
Perhaps. We shouldnt. Have co. To the imperial capital, Veirya remarked out of the blue.
Whats the matter, Veirya? Are you not enjoying life here? I queried.
Its not. Making unhappy. But its making. You unhappy. If. We were still. In the North. You would smile more. You wouldnt be. Distracted by other things. Instead of us. All Day. Ever since. We arrived here. Youve always been out. And. Always thinking. About other things. Unlike. In the North.
Sorry.
As Veirya and I shared an intimate mont, Leah unhappily tugged my arm. My arm would probably have co off if I ignored Leah, so I turned around to her. I wasnt sure if Leahs puffed cheeks were the product of her jealousy or if she had stuffed her face with candy. I rubbed Leahs face while telling Veirya, You want to go back to the North? I actually quite miss it, too, to be honest. Our house there isnt very big, but its still cosy.
Though the idea had been on my mind, my original motivation for returning to the North wasnt for Veiryas sake. I just wanted to avoid the harassnt. Besides, we were going to get married in the North, so I figured why not?
All right. So. You. . And Leah. I want to go. With only the three of us. As we first did. I was very happy. Back then.
You know, I didnt see Veiryas happiness back then; I only felt she was scary. She sat at the dining table with an expressionless look and didnt budge. She also always had her sword at her waist. Thankfully, we were a real family at this point if we ignored every ti I had to service Leah.
We were no longer in a playful mood after those two obnoxious pests ca and pestered , unfortunately. We, therefore, bought Leah a big chunk of roast at and then planned to go back. I wont deny it was impolite of Leah, the daughter of a noble family, to eat whilst walking on the streets. She didnt care what people thought of her, nonetheless. She hooked her arm around one of mine and heartily ate her at. Maybe it was my imagination, but the way she looked at the at seed as if she was looking at .
I went back to my armchair when we arrived ho in the afternoon and rubbed my temples. That was when Ascillia ca up to with a smile and queried, Lord Lin, umm may I ask if there has been any progress on the promise you made to ?
Oh, right, right, youre talking about speaking to Queen Sisi, right? Sorry, Ascillia, I havent gone yet. Ill have to go and see her soon, with that said, so Ill tell her then. Do you have anything in mind, such as what job you want there?
If I have a choice can I be the foreign diplomat who connects with elves? Ascillia requested with while gyrating her lips. I have realised that it is a too late for to start studying so things. More importantly, I genuinely want to work alongside the elves. I asked Elven Queen Linna. She also advocates for peace between elves and humans. That is why I want to be a foreign diplomat for elves and humans. I want to do what I can for both races.
Humans and elves did influence each other, indeed. Humans and elves were complicated people. Their relationship beca all-out hostility as a result of Queen Sisis arrogant plan. Afterwards, they joined hands to eradicate the new demons. In my opinion, elves and humans didnt need a diplomat but a common enemy. Nevertheless, Ascillias thinking was praiseworthy.
It wasnt conducive to anybody if elves and humans were always hostile. Humans were unmistakably going to focus on the colony instead of the North next, which ant that it was important for them to remain friendly with elves. Surely Queen Sisi would concur on that. As a human who lived with elves, the elves could accept Ascillia, thereby making her the best candidate for relations between the two races.
Ill ask Queen Sisi for you. I believe shes thinking the sa thing.
Veirya joined in the armchair next to mine after getting changed. She looked beautiful and elegant with her upright sitting posture and teacup in hand. I assud she just wanted to be by my side. I had no complaints since I wanted to be with her.
My initial plan was to be able to live in the imperial capital together with Leah, and I was able to live there with my entire family now. Most importantly, Veirya was with .
I gently placed my hand on Veiryas. Head titled, she looked at in silence. Shed have asked sothing if I did the sa thing in the past but not today as all we had for each other was passionate love.
