Chapter 566: 524 Elf Values_2
The only ones who truly had the chance to succeed were the noble heroes who never lusted after an elf’s body.
But when faced with these heroes, the elves would never accept their love, even if it was reciprocated, considering the lifespan disparity. Instead, they chose to silently give until the other found their own happiness before they departed alone, turning these emotions into tales of tragic love.
So, how could an elf ever be in a situation to lose their virginity?
“That is to say…” Shane pointed to his own nose in utter astonishnt, “Am I the only man in the world who has bedded an elf?”
This…
Seed a bit thrilling?
Unfortunately, rica couldn’t feel thrilled.
“It’s all Mr. Xi’en’s fault,” rica still seed jittery and panicked as she spoke, “What am I supposed to do now?”
Clearly, rica was truly bewildered and scared.
It wasn’t because she had given her body to Shane that she felt fear and trepidation.
In fact, even after Shane had taken actions that shouldn’t have been taken, rica didn’t really bla him.
The sa old saying: an elf who falls into true love only knows selfless devotion.
Even if it involved sacrificing their body, if it was really necessary, they would still accept it, but in the past, no elf had ever encountered such a situation.
The likes of Shane, who could make an elf fall in love with himself, without being noble but rather despicable to the core, and silently devouring an elf maiden without a sound—no such hero had ever appeared before.
In theory, elves, who are holy and innocent, shouldn’t be able to fall in love with such an evil male from an alien race.
Yet, Shane did it.
From this perspective, Shane had to admit he was a chosen one.
But as there had never been such a precedent among elves, and none had ever given away their purity, rica, as the first to break the ice, felt frightened and panicked.
She didn’t even dare believe what everyone in her clan would think of her if word got out.
Would they see her as a stain on the Elf Clan?
Or would they think she had fallen willingly, with no self-respect at all?
What should she do?
The confusion and terror about the future beca rica’s only emotional turmoil, and she was truly frightened.
“What am I to do, Mr. Xi’en?”
Having no plan, rica could only hold onto Shane and cry bitterly once again.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s all right,” Shane hurriedly wiped away the young girl’s tears, while wiping he said, “Anyway, no one knows about this, and even if they did, am I the kind of person who shirks responsibility? Simply telling everyone I’ll take you ho as my wife should do, right?”
Shane thought such words would surely put rica at ease.
But unexpectedly, not only did rica not feel reassured, she shook her head again.
“Everyone won’t accept it.”
rica sobbed.
“Why?” Shane asked in confusion, “Does the Elf Clan have a rule against marrying n from alien races?”
If such a ridiculous rule existed, Shane felt he might need to make a scene at the Queen’s Palace.
This ti, however, rica neither shook her head nor nodded.
“The Elf Clan doesn’t have a rule against marrying alien races, because we don’t need to marry, and we don’t marry,” rica said with a nasal voice, “Essentially, the Elf Clan regards love as sacred, but also as poison.”
“Because we are long-lived, we have a fundantal lifespan difference from n of other races.”
“For example, humans, who have only a hundred years in their lifeti, but these hundred years are not even enough for a newly reborn elf to reach adulthood.”
“Elf children co of age at one hundred and fifty, and a thousand years mark the end of an elf’s life, with those of higher Levels living even longer, and the Elf Royal Family has not yet had a single death from old age—either they die by accident or in battle.”
“To us, a hundred years might equate to just five or six years for an alien race.”
“And if you spend ti with a man from another race, after five or six years, you have to watch him age and die, which is truly too sad and painful.”
“So, elves do not disdain their kin who fall in love with n from alien races, but instead pity them, thinking them pitiable.”
“However, if one wants to be with a man of an alien race regardless of everything, the clan will surely oppose it, thinking it to be irrational and capricious.”
rica’s explanation left Shane at a loss for words.
Because, to so extent, such a viewpoint is not necessarily wrong.
Imagine, if a human fell in love with soone who would grow old and die in just five or six years, they would most likely choose to conceal that emotion, to not speak of it, and to not let it co to fruition, right?
Even those who are deeply emotional might choose to accompany the other person and walk with them through their entire life, but to speak recklessly of one’s feelings and to personally witness the other grow old and die before one’s own eyes, there probably wouldn’t be many who would do that.
Of course, it cannot be denied that so humans could truly disregard everything and insist on being with the other person.
But elves would not.
They place a great importance on love, treating it as sacred, and being a long-lived race, their understanding of and experience with ti is completely different from that of humans.
They would not choose fleeting beauty.
Because they truly live for a very long ti, the concept of fleeting beauty doesn’t even exist in their worldview.
They would not choose to be reckless.
Their reverence for love and the value they place on their own purity an that they mostly choose to silently give and then to silently leave, rather than to numb themselves for that brief happiness and to escape reality.
Elf Queen Sophie is the best example.
Throughout her life, spanning thousands of years, nurous individuals pursued the Elf Queen, among them, there were even several historically renowned heroes.
But in the end, Sophie chose to reject them, or even to distance herself from the very start, preventing any seed or opportunity for love from sprouting.
This is the perspective that elves hold towards love, a national instinct and obsession.
It is precisely because of this that, although there have been many elves who have fallen in love, not even one has had a happy ending.
This is the difference in the values of life and races.
No one can criticize this.
“I… I originally just wanted to silently be by Mr. Shane’s side, I never thought it would turn out like this.”
rica spoke, both worried and lost.
“Now, I really don’t know what to do.”
At this mont, on rica’s delicate face appeared the most profound bewildernt she had ever felt.
It was more than just insecurity following a loss of innocence; it was a questioning of life, a sense of helplessness.
Looking at rica like this, there was a fleeting mont when Shane felt as if he had committed an incredibly terrible misdeed.
But soon, Shane shook off such thoughts.
“Look at , rica.”
Shane was holding rica, and while sitting up in the water, he gazed at her.
“Mr. Shane…?”
rica was straddling Shane, feeling the touch of their bodies and the ambiguous nature of the act, her face blushing, her nerves tightening.
“Look at .”
Shane spoke again.
“…”
rica unconsciously lifted her eyes and looked at Shane.
In the next second, rica’s and Shane’s gazes locked, and she saw a pair of deep, dark pupils.
In them, rica clearly saw her own reflection.
Imdiately…
“Trust , I will resolve all of this.”
Shane promised rica with emphatic certainty.
“But…”
rica was still worried.
“Trust .” Shane cut her off, with an extrely powerful voice, said, “I will find a way.”
rica fell silent.
Quietness spread between the two.
It wasn’t until quite so ti later that rica timidly nodded.
Only then did Shane smile.
