Chapter 817: Unfair Showdown

[Wife, I miss you, wake up, I was wrong, I won't beat you again, I used to be bad before, I don't know how to cherish you...]

"Don't! ~No! ~Don't! ~”

Late at night, Ji Ran woke up from a nightmare, and before he knew it, sweat had soaked his clothes.

She sat up suddenly, her heart pounding.

"Aiyi? What's wrong? Having nightmares again? Milia came to Ji Ran and asked.

Elves do not have a fixed dwelling like humans, the forest is their home, any branch, any meadow, will become a place for them to stay, sometimes alone, sometimes two or three people together, this is very normal.

Last night, Miria slept on the same tree with Ji Ran, so when Ji Ran had a nightmare, she inadvertently woke up Milia.

"I always dream of a human man who kneels in front of my bed tower, confesses his mistakes to me, and begs me for forgiveness, but my memory of him is so vague that I can't remember who he is, but I feel that he is very familiar with me." Ji Ran said bitterly, his mind was in chaos.

"Okay, that's all a dream, it's not real, don't worry." Milia gently hugged Ji Ran and comforted gently.

"Sometimes, I always feel like a human being, but I am afraid of that kind of life, I like to live like this, carefree, free to live in the beautiful forest, to be a happy elf." Ji Ran spoke to Milia.

"Hehe, you are now, aren't we just carefree, free and happy elves?" Miria's sweet smile sent warm comfort.

"Miria, be my best friend, and we'll be together forever, okay?" Ji Ran grabbed Miria's slender little hand and said.

"Hmm." Miria nodded happily and readily agreed.

As spring turns to autumn, the trees on the outskirts of the forest begin to wither and wither, and the yellow leaves fall in the wind, spreading a thick blanket of leaves on the ground.

The fertile fields outside Lakasia had also been harvested, and the open field was a bare wilderness.

Mordrak stood on the high tower, looking out at the northern forest, and couldn't help but sigh.

These days, he misses Ji Ran all the time, and dreams of returning to that beautiful forest, but seeing that autumn is coming, he can't even leave the castle for half a step, and he can't help but sigh in his heart.

"Your Highness, Miss Claire is here." At this time, there was a sudden announcement from the guards outside.

Mordrak didn't react, still looking at the northern forest.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are sick? I specially asked the herbalist to make some supplements for you. Claya walked into the room and placed a beautifully decorated bamboo basket on the table, which contained a strong smell of herbs.

"I don't need you to come to see me, I don't need your kindness." Mordrake said without looking back.

"Huh, really? However, I am your fiancée, has Your Highness forgotten? Craya smiled coldly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her beautiful eyes.

"I won't marry you until the sun comes out of the west." Mordrac said.

"Oh? Is it? However, I am afraid that this is not up to you alone, our marriage contract was made when the old king was here, and this was also supported by all the nobles, do you want to blatantly break the contract? Claya smiled coldly, a smug look on her face.

As a nobleman, especially a royal family, the most important thing is to be honest and trustworthy, if a nobleman cannot keep his promises, everyone will rebel and no one will follow him.

Therefore, the aristocracy regarded keeping their promises as an honor more important than life, and the reason why Mordrac's family was able to become the royal family of Lacasia was that it was by keeping their oaths that they were supported by the majority of noble lords and ascended to the throne.

If Mordrake reneges on her vow to marry Crea, she will lose her trust in the aristocracy, and will inevitably fall into the point of betrayal.

"Are you going to use the throne to crush me?" Mordrak asked, turning to stare at Creya.

"Oh, how dare I? I just advise His Royal Highness the prince that those who can adapt to the times and know the times are handsome. With that, Craya turned and walked outside.

"Oh, by the way, we're going to have a coming-of-age ceremony next month, and your opponent is Celtic, so prepare well, I don't want my fiancé to be picked out at the coming-of-age ceremony." Craya stopped abruptly and said with a smile in her eyes.

Hearing the name "Celtic", Modric's heart jumped, Celtic was a famous gladiator, skilled in the use of giant axes, once chopped the skull of a bull with an axe, even in La Casia is rarely his opponent.

Moreover, most of the coming-of-age ceremonies of the nobles are a passing scene, and no one really wants to make things difficult for the other party, unless it is a feud and a mortal enemy.

It stands to reason that Celtic is not suitable to play in the coming-of-age ceremony, even if he has this right, but, in order to take care of the other party's face, he should try to avoid it, and Celtic obviously did it this time, it seems that he wants to give Modrek a little color.

After Crea finished speaking, she left the room.

And Mordrake was a little uneasy, he knew that Correa and Celtic were secret lovers, and that Correya's aunt was Celtic's wife, that is, Celtic was both Correya's uncle and Correya's mistress, and in this double intimate relationship, it was enough for Celtic to do something out of the ordinary for Correya.

If Celtic really disgraces himself at the bar mitzvah, it's really a problem.

"Morey?" At this time, Annakin suddenly came into the room.

"Mother?" Mordrak asked, looking back at Anna.

"What was the conversation with Claurea?" Anna King asked, looking at Modrak.

"I don't like this woman, she's too scheming, there won't be a result between us." Mordrake said truthfully to Annakin.

"I also realize that if it weren't for the Brooke family, I wouldn't want you to marry a girl like Correya." Anna Kim nodded and said.

"She just told me that the opponent of the coming-of-age ceremony is Celtic, does my father know about this?" Mordrak asked, looking at Anna King.

"Your father already knows." Anna King said.

In other words, does the father have no objection? He also acquiesced? Modrek asked, somewhat surprised.

"You are the future successor of Lacasia, and courage is naturally your greatest challenge and test, as your father, how can he refuse? However, he also knows the gap between you and Celtic, and during the coming-of-age ceremony, he will ask Celtic to give up the use of the giant axe and use the carbine instead, and the carbine will remove the metal spear head and replace it with a wooden spear head, as long as you put on armor, there should be no problem. Anna Kim said comforting Modrek.
