The Elven King who sat on the throne was named Elus, and he had been on the throne for more than a dozen centuries, but the years had not left the slightest mark on his young and handsome face.

"Fiona, what could make you so out of shape?"

There was an indescribable allure in Aerus's voice, and his deep eyes could see through anything. In fact, the elf princess's performance was not rude, at most, her hair was a little messy by the wind, but she still couldn't hide it from Aerus.

The long-standing elven king knew her daughter well, not to mention that her hair was messy, and she would not bring even a trace of dust to the palace.

"Father, I want to close all of the Chunhui Empire's waypoints and stop operations in the Philuss Seaport." Fiona calmly replied that the port of Philorus is a major port of trade between the Magic Empire and humans, and its largest trading partner is the Chunhui Empire.

Fiona wanted to close the port of Philus, not simply to stop operations, but to allow the elves to regain control of the sea. Before the establishment of the Philusian Harbor, the seas around the Magic Empire were enveloped in an endless storm of magic, and no race could land through the ocean.

Eros understood the meaning of his daughter's words, and his face sank slightly: "You asked me to break the covenant and break off diplomatic relations with humans... Do you know that the latest covenant was signed before I ascended the throne? ”

For thousands of years, every elven king of the Magic Empire has re-signed a covenant with humanity when he ascended the throne, and when Aurus ascended the throne, he also signed a contract with the four royal families of humanity.

"It's urgent, father," Fiona gritted her teeth. When she received Xia Han's news, she knew that the stakes were high, even if it was a guess, she didn't dare to risk ignoring it: "Please give the order quickly, and it's not too late to apologize afterwards." ”

"Ridiculous!" Elous shouted and glared angrily: "My elven clan has built a kingdom with integrity, and I have not broken my promise for thousands of years to survive, and if I break my promise without evidence, it will surely bring us a terrible disaster." ”

Everyone in the world does not know that the existence of the Magic Empire is not only fearsome and powerful, but also integrity. The fountain of magic they live on comes from the essence of the ancient 'dawn'. And it is the power that the demons dream of.

Fear of the Fountain of Mana once again causing the end of the 'Elder Dusk'. In the early days of the establishment of the Magic Empire, it was once hostile to the guardian beasts, and the Elven King had to make a promise not to take the initiative to start a war, and to do his duty to destroy the demons.

The sacred beasts accepted their promise because of the power of the Magic Empire, but there are still people who are wary of them. If the Elven King betrays his righteousness. It will inevitably lead to trouble.

"But Father. Bloodlines are different from other enemies. If they are allowed to infiltrate, the consequences will be unimaginable! Fiona fought hard, she loved her country and was reluctant to let any danger come near it.

Aerus's eyes flickered. He closed his eyes and sighed: "The covenant cannot be broken, but I can't do it, you can do it." ”

Fiona was startled, looked at Elous, who had fallen silent, and immediately understood what he meant. Each Elven King ascends the throne and renews the covenant, which is a guarantee of friendship for generations, but it is also a loophole.

As long as the new Elven King ascends the throne, she can make any decision before signing the Covenant, even if she is cut off from the human world - Aelus means that Fiona will inherit the Elven King's throne.

But......

"Why?" Fiona was puzzled, there was still a long time, and there was no problem with Aelus's body, why would he want to hand over the throne?

"I asked you the same question a thousand years ago, when my father answered only one sentence." Eroth reopened his eyes with a gloomy feeling: "Because I'm tired, I'm tired too." ”

"The Elven King is known for endless glory and is worshipped by the people as a mortal god." He shook his head and said, "But we are only mortals after all, even if we have the power to destroy the world in our hands, but we do not have a soul that can withstand the baptism of time, and the true god will not be tired by time." ”

Elves have a long lifespan, and each elf king has reigned for more than a hundred years or a thousand years, but they were forced to sit in the Yongxing Hall during their reign, and even the opportunity to go out and take a breath is very rare.

This is a race that carries heavy treasures, and the elven king is not only burdened with heavy treasures, but also with responsibilities and pressures. No matter how great a king is, when the pressure becomes heavier and heavier over time, they want to get rid of it and want to be free.

"Fiona, eighteen years ago, when your aunt died, I felt her death." "She's my only sister, but even if I sense her danger, I can't go over and save her," said Elous. ”

"This is the Elf King, as long as he leaves the Yongxing Palace, he will be targeted by the monsters of the whole world and even other planes, and he may die at any time."

Thousands of years ago, an elven king left the Yongxing Hall to travel, but it attracted the demons, and the demons killed the elven king. A catastrophe descended from the sky in the Hall of the Stars, but at a critical moment, another royal family succeeded to the throne, and his anger nearly tore the sky apart, and all the invaders were reduced to ashes.

After that, no Elf King dared to leave without permission.

"Why, Fiona, will you accept this stake? I've been in office for too long, and my thinking has become stubborn and traditional, unable to keep up with the times... The Magic Empire needs a younger, more active, passionate king - and that's you, Fiona. ”

"If you agree, the year starting today will be a transitional period, during which you will have the same power as me, and you will not need to stay in the Yongxing Palace."

Eroth looked at the silent elven princess, he waited for her choice, and believed that Fiona, who was exactly the same as her younger self, would make the same choice. She is full of responsibility, full of honor, willing to sacrifice herself for the people, and has also accumulated enough governing experience in the Sky Temple.

She is a natural elven king, and perhaps the only deficiency is that she still has concerns. So Ellus gave her a year, enough time for her to cut off or catch the concern.

“……”

"Father, I promise you."

The young elven princess finally lowered her head, and Ellus laughed loudly, a smile of relief and bitterness. He understood that Fiona did not understand the preciousness of freedom and the weight of time, and when she thought about the throne, she was only thinking about whether she could rule a country.

Young and vigorous, as was the case with Elous before, as was the case with every Elven King, and the history is always strikingly similar.

However, after a thousand years, how will this pure elven princess feel to hand over the throne to the next generation? (To be continued......)
