Lette walked with heavy steps toward the Imperial Palace of the Elf Empire.
Although it was less than a day since his last visits to the Elf Empire, his mood was worlds apart.
Indeed, so things are easier when you don’t know about them.
Lilith followed behind him, unable to stifle her laughter.
She never expected that the issue Lette had been worrying about didn’t occur at the Holy Light Church but, by a twist of fate, happened in the Elf Empire.
As the saying from his hotown goes, what’s ant to happen will always find its way.
After the last incident, no one in the palace guards dared to stop him anymore.
Lette led everyone into the palace and t the Elf Queen who had been waiting for so ti.
"Lord Lette, what brings you to the Elf Empire this ti?"
Lette glanced around: "Why is it just Her Majesty the Empress here today? Where are the other high-ranking officials of the Empire?"
"Oh, because today is not a court day, everyone is not present."
The Elf Queen smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, you might find it amusing, but there aren’t many issues within the Elf Empire that require our decision-making.
After all, our clan is highly self-disciplined.
Also, due to Life Magic, material wealth is absolutely abundant and sufficient.
There is no poverty in the country, nor is there exploitation; no one needs to resort to cri to obtain extra wealth.
Therefore, there isn’t much political business. Court sessions aren’t held frequently.
However, all the princes and ministers are on standby. If you need to et anyone, Mr. Wright, I will have them summoned imdiately.
But first, could you tell what you intend to do?"
Lette glanced at the Elf Princess behind him, then looked at the Elf Queen and smiled slightly.
"Alright, let tell you my purpose for coming here this ti.
Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess, this ti I intend to drag the entire Elf Clan into the whirlpool of war!"
On hearing this, both the Elf Queen and her daughter’s expressions changed drastically. As the ruler of the Elf Empire, the queen was more composed and hid her emotions well.
However, the princess was still too young. She anxiously rushed in front of Lette and asked in a panic.
"Lord, what do you an by dragging the entire Elf Clan into the whirlpool of war? What war? Where does this war co from!?
The Elf Clan has not initiated any war in recent years, and we haven’t waged any war against humans.
Wars between humans have nothing to do with us!"
Lette ignored Rosadina but looked toward her mother, the Elf Queen.
"I’ve received information. The First Empire of the Holy Country in the human world, the Holy Rosena Empire, because of the actions of the previous First Princess Vanessa and the royal family’s inaction, has thoroughly angered the Holy Light Goddess.
Soon, the Holy Rosena Empire will be expelled from the scope of the Holy Country.
This ans they will lose the Holy Light Goddess’s Protection, the constraints of the Holy Light Church, and support from other Holy Countries.
Your Majesty, I rember your Elf Empire shares the longest border with the Holy Rosena Empire?
The one that annexed the most of your empire’s territory back then, was also this Rosena Empire, right?
Now is an excellent opportunity!
Taking advantage of them being forsaken by the Holy Light Church and the Holy Light Goddess, the Elf Empire can declare war on them, reclaim your lost lands through war and victory.
And showcase your strength to the world, making them understand that the Elf Clan is still incredibly powerful.
With a resounding victory, it would be a welcoming gift for the return of the Life Goddess.
What do you think?"
His flowery and eloquent words stirred the Elf Princess’s emotions to the core. She couldn’t help but fantasize about the Elf Empire defeating the Rosena Empire, reclaiming lost territories, and washing away years of sha.
This, what glory it would be!
And at the mont the Elves gain this glory, the Life Goddess would return, blessing the Elf Clan once more!
This would be a glorious achievent that would be recorded in the history of the Elf Empire!
By then, her na and her mother’s would go down in history!
They could even take so asures to make it seem like their victory over the Empire was the reason for regaining the Goddess’s favor, ultimately welcoming her return.
Then, future generations would credit the return of the Life Goddess to them.
What an honor this would be! It’s imnse prosperity!
From then on, they would reach a status that all future empire monarchs would worship.
They would be the unattainable legends!
But as a queen, she thought deeper than the princess.
"Mr. Wright, you are indeed a human, to consider the elves’ interests like this, even at the cost of sacrificing human interests.
Honestly, I have so doubts about your motives."
Lette spread his hands: "It’s understandable and reasonable for you to think that way. You are an elf, and I am a human.
My hotown also has an old saying, ’Those not of my clan are sure to have different intents.’
If I had to choose between humans and elves, I would unhesitatingly choose humans.
But Your Majesty, I think you might’ve misunderstood sothing.
While this war is between elves and humans, between empires,
it’s not a life-and-death confrontation.
This will be a carefully orchestrated war. A war needed by the Divine Court, one that it wishes to see.
More importantly, it’s a war necessary for the peace and long-term stability of the entire world.
