Because of the Elven King's negative attitude towards the marriage between the Elves and the Holy See of Light, everyone, including the Elves, thought that he was reluctant to let Princess Alice be wronged and marry the descendant of a cardinal archbishop of the Holy See of Light.

After all, everyone knows in their hearts that this is a political marriage. And Princess Alice, as the weaker side, is destined to be unhappy in the rest of her life.

The Elven King, who is the father, does not approve of this marriage, which is completely understandable.

It is also not surprising that the Elf King has adopted an attitude of delay and evasion in response to the pressing side of the Holy See of Light.

Princess Alice has not been seen in public in recent times. So I don't know where the rumor sounded, saying that the elf princess quietly escaped from the elven court and ran away from home in order to escape from political marriage.

But what the three elders didn't expect was that this gossip that was quietly circulating in the Elven Royal Court was actually the truth.

The Second Elder nodded to him, officially confirming the matter.

The Third Elder was also one of the top decision-makers of the Elven Clan, and he was qualified to know about this situation.

"Third Elder, it's good that you know for yourself, and this matter must not be spread to the outside. The current situation is delicate and sensitive, and if the people of the Bright Sect know about it, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Facing the second elder's advice, the third elder nodded with a straight face.

"Second Elder, don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter, and I will never talk nonsense. Alas, in fact, it is okay, to marry Princess Alice, I always feel both aggrieved and uncomfortable in my heart. As her father, the Elf King may be even more difficult to accept. There is such an arrangement, I understand it. ”

The elf king next to him was not relieved to be understood at all, and the expression on his face was more depressed.

"I didn't arrange it!"

The Third Elder looked at him and asked in surprise, "Is this Princess Alice's own idea?" She sneaked out on her own? ”

The Elf King felt even more depressed, but still nodded helplessly.

"This ......"

The three elders were speechless.

The Great Elder snorted again. None of the things he encountered today were smooth anyway.

"This little girl doesn't have a sense of the big picture. Just ran out like this, she was happy herself, and the mess left behind was not for us to clean up for her. When she is found, she must be punished severely. You, as a father, have no way to teach, and you are not strictly supervised, but you are also responsible. ”

The Elven King's face was not good-looking. He opened his mouth, trying to tell, but didn't know where to start.

The second elder hurriedly played a round game.

"Great Elder, don't blame the Elven King. In fact, haven't you always been strongly opposed to marrying the Holy See of Light? ”

The Great Elder glared at him and stood up.

Although the second elder is also a handful of age, in the eyes of the eldest elder, he is also just a junior, and he can stare at him if he wants to, and blow his beard when he blows his beard.

Who called him the highest?

"You know what! The Holy See of Light can propose a marriage to match the two juniors. But we elves can also choose to refuse, no one wants what they say. No matter where we talk about it, we can be confident. However, people took the initiative to come to talk to you, but you sent your daughter far away first. It's not a question of agreeing or not, it's a naked slap in the face. The elves are naturally arrogant and are not afraid of the power of the Holy See of Light. But needlessly provoking others and attracting people's hatred and even revenge is definitely a wrong approach for the current elf clan. ”

The Elf King argued in a low voice, "I didn't send it away, it was she who secretly ran away." ”

"It's all the same!"

As soon as the Elven King spoke, the Great Elder was angry again.

"As long as that girl leaves the Elf Court at this time, no matter what, people will think that it was our deliberate arrangement anyway."

Speaking of this, the Great Elder sighed.

"Alice's little girl really disappointed me, no matter how powerful the Holy See is, we elves must grovel to him? If the little girl is not happy, I will block him back when the king of heaven comes! I actually have so little confidence in my old man, and I ran away without saying hello, I really hurt her in vain! ”

Although he kept scolding Alice in his mouth, the love of protection in his words was undoubtedly revealed.

The Elf King, who had been scolded today, had a look full of gratitude in his eyes.

The elf king and his daughter have the same attitude towards the family affairs sent by this door, and they are both extremely disgusted. If he hadn't been the king of the elven race, he would have swept the people of the Bright Sect out of the house with fierce words.

But sitting in his place, he's not just Alice's father. In addition to protecting his daughter, he also needs to be responsible for the entire elf clan.

Because personal feelings affect one's own judgment, it is not something that a qualified king should do.

Fortunately, there are also a group of elders in the clan such as the Great Elder, who have shielded a lot of pressure for the Elf King's father and daughter.

The Great Elder got up and walked out, and said without looking back, "Hurry up and send someone to get Alice's little girl back." Not to mention the rest, with her little strength, there are problems in self-preservation in human society. ”

The Elf King stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, I have already arranged for someone to do it." ”

The Grand Elder waved his hand back, signaling to hear, and then walked away.

The remaining Second Elder, Third Elder, and the Elven King looked at each other and smiled wordlessly.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the door, as if the Great Elder had just gone out and cursed someone.

The chaos only lasted for a short time, and after a while, the noise stopped, and the Great Elder probably walked away.

Immediately afterward, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near.

"Eight Elders!"

The third elder shouted, with a hint of strangeness in his tone.

When the Second Elder and the Elven King saw the comer, their faces sank.

"What are you doing here?"

The second elder asked in a low voice, his tone was full of disgust and annoyance, and he didn't give face to the elf who was also an elder at all.

The Eighth Elder who faced the questioning was not angry, Shi Shiran said: "Isn't there a high-level meeting going on here, you are an elder of the clan, and I am also an elder of the clan, since you can come here, why can't I come?" ”

"You ......" the second elder was angry, but he couldn't refute it.

There are a total of nine elders in the Elven Royal Court, and there is no distinction between large and small in terms of regulations. But in fact, the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were the most powerful, and the power and discourse power in the clan were far beyond the ability of the other six elders. In general, major decisions in the clan are decided by these three elders and the elven king together.

This is what the elves usually call a high-level meeting.

However, this mechanism and situation are not clearly defined, but are long-standing conventions. The other elders are self-aware, and they won't get bored with themselves.

But today, the Eight Elders just did just that.

Because he has found another backer, a strong backer who is enough for him to run rampant and unimpeded in the elven clan.
