The city of queens has stood on the Eastern Continent for far more time than Atlantis, the city of kings. The huge golden eagle of the goddess Cana stretched out her hands and stood facing the west coast. The statue glows softly in the sunlight, enough to shine into every corner of the city.

Legend has it that during the war between the goddess Cana and Dela, the entire original realm was almost destroyed. The Queen City was the first main city led by the goddess Cana after the defeat of Della. So everyone has heard of the saying that if the Origin Realm is really as beautiful as gold, then it must be like the Queen City.

Yes, throughout the city's millennia of history, the music played by the elves has been delivered to every street in the Conservatory, in the Avenue des Craftsmen, dwarven craftsmen have worked diligently to bring wealth and skill to the city, and in the Place des Scholars, Lonellan scholars have discussed the past and the future...... It's just like the original beauty of the original realm in the legend.

Of course, the most important part of the Queen City will always belong to the "Temple of Glory", the cradle of excellent warriors and magicians. The Sanctuary of Glory was founded by the White Magician Maridia Elena. As an ancient mage invited by Goddess Jana, Maridia's name is almost unknown to everyone in the Primordial Realm. In people's hearts, she is the continuation of the light of Cana, the totem of the city.

Ding-long ...... A crisp sound woke up Uncle Louis, who was sleeping at the bar. A cloth bag containing a number of coins appeared in front of him.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and standing in front of the bar was the female elf with crimson hair. As usual, she wore a black cloak and carried a delicate longsword on her back. Although the dust on her clothes betrayed the hardships of the place she went, it seemed that no emotion could be read from her delicate features.

"Oh, it's Evelyn. Louis greeted with a smile.

"This month's rent. With that, Evelyn turned and walked up the stairs.

Louis stared at Evelyn until she was out of sight. People here love Evelyn, at least Louis. Originally, the "White Forest Hotel" he ran had a mediocre business, but since Alan brought this female elf, more and more people have come to visit.

Elves are always favored by the people here, even in Queen's City, where elves are not uncommon. In the hearts of the people of Lonellan, the elves are the most beautiful beings in the entire Primordial Realm. Of course, there are also some reasons because the female elf has rare crimson hair and holds a baby in her arms. Because elves have eternal life, they generally do not possess the most instinctive desires of other races. Therefore, the red-haired elf holding the baby is indeed very novel and rare.

"Hmm...... It's been almost ten years...... My belly is already so big, and she's still so beautiful. Louis patted his beer belly and muttered to himself.

Over the years, the surrounding competitors have come and gone, but the "White Forest Hotel" has endured for a long time because of the long-term residence of an elf. Although this female elf is always very "cold" and is rarely seen except for paying rent, Louis is still grateful for her presence.

"Hi, Uncle Louis!"

In the door came a well-dressed man.

"Oh, it's Alan. Louis beckoned, "Come to Evelyn? she's just returned, just now." ”

For Louis, Allen is a big deal. Although there are many elves in the Queen's City, few of them are very good at dealing with these ordinary Lonellans. After all, compared to the eternal lifespan of the elves, the life of the Lonellan people is only nearly a hundred years, which is really short. So just by bringing an elf, Eren has the capital to brag about for a lifetime.

Alan exchanged a few more pleasantries with Louis, and hurried to the stairs. Louis is not surprised, although for so many years, Alan has always chased Evelyn like a fart, and Evelyn has never paid much attention to him, but day after day, Alan still insists on doing so. In fact, Alan is indeed the closest Lonellan to Evelyn.

At the corner of the staircase, Alan almost bumped into Evelyn's arms. Evelyn deftly dodges it, while Eren falls headfirst down the stairs.

"Ahh......h

"Why are you here?" Evelyn looked a little anxious, but still reached out to pull Alan from the ground.

"It's okay, I'm fine...... What's wrong? You're going out again?" Alan touched his forehead, his eyebrows and nose almost twisted together from the pain.

Evelyn shook her head and said, "No, Claude is gone!"

"He must be out playing...... Children are very playful, he will take care of his ......"

"Hey! I'll go find him. ”

Evelyn interrupted Eren and walked out quickly. Alan looked dazed, but hurried to follow.

Along the way, Evelyn walked in front, while Eren followed closely behind her. This scene couldn't help but remind him of their first encounter:

Nine years ago, Eren was in a daze in the goddess plaza where the statue of the goddess Cana was housed. A portal opened in front of him, and a female elf in a black robe with a baby in her arms abruptly stepped out of the door. This startled many people around, but it didn't cause much of a stir. Queen's City is always bustling with people, and the occasional stranger opening a portal out of thin air and coming out of it isn't a big deal for anyone here.

After a brief moment of surprise, the witnesses nodded apologetically to Evelyn, who in their minds might be the traveler from somewhere, a respected magician. And the surprised look just now is always a bit rude, and the most rude of them is Allen.

"I'm sorry, lady. I think I've just been fascinated by your beauty. I would like to say...... Welcome to Queen City!" was the first thing Elen said to Evelyn.

Evelyn replied with a smile.

Evelyn's smile made Alan a little embarrassed, he shrugged his shoulders, just hesitated to take two steps and then stopped and turned around, and finally said after a long time: "Uh...... I'm sorry...... I'm thinking...... I'm thinking...... You're new here, do you need any help?"

As he spoke, the man's face turned red, and he kept touching the back of his head because of nervousness, looking a little funny.

Evelyn couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and little Claude winked in her arms, "Ahh

"I'm looking for a hotel, I'm ...... Need some milk ...... too," was Evelyn's first words to him.

"I can help you!" Evelyn replied excitedly, followed by an apologetic smile, "I mean...... Please follow me. ”

With Eren as she guided, Evelyn quietly followed him. The man turned his head from time to time, but the woman behind him kept staring at the baby in his arms.

"This kid is so cute...... Be...... Yours...... Is it?"

Evelyn looked up, and the man's walking posture looked a little funny.

Without getting a response, Alan scolded himself in his heart, "Idiot, what kind of problem is this? A woman holding a child, who else can it be if it's not hers!"

"Right...... By the way, I don't know what to call you? I'm Alan! My name is Alan!" The man turned his head, beads of sweat on his forehead from nervousness, "Do you think I call you a magician or ......?"

"Evelyn. Evelyn interrupted Alan. She didn't understand why the man in front of her looked so unnatural and why he had so many strange thoughts.

"Miss Evelyn, where are you from?"

"North. ”

"North, are there elves living there?"

Evelyn didn't respond.

"None of the elves I know like the northern climate...... Isn't that so?"

Evelyn didn't respond.

"That sword of yours is so cool, you must be a very powerful person, right?"

Evelyn still didn't respond.

Alan laughed dryly a few times to hide his embarrassment, and once again laughed at himself as an "idiot".

......

Over the years, Alan has laughed at himself as an "idiot" many times, but he has long been used to it.

Alan, who was basking in fond memories, was interrupted by Evelyn's anxious voice.

"Where is this guy going? Alan, you usually spend more time with him, where is he going?"

"He's not too young, he's always taking care of himself. Don't worry......" Alan reassured, "maybe you're going to play with some kid......

Alan's comfort had the opposite effect, and Evelyn said excitedly, "With whom? do you know? How many times have I told you, don't let others approach him casually!"

"I guess I'm still with that eight or nine-year-old kid...... It's called Lucian......"

"You know, take me!" Evelyn was dissatisfied.

Alan was a little dazed, in fact, he had known where Claude was a long time ago. Not long ago, Claude had told him that he wanted to see the inauguration of the Guardian of the Blade with his own eyes. It was a grand occasion for the entire Queen City, and Alan would naturally agree. But he also knew that Evelyn wouldn't agree, so he didn't plan to reveal it to her at first.

Alan didn't understand why Evelyn was upset whenever Claude was playing with children her age or going anywhere other than White Horse Street, where the inn was located. However, the elves rarely showed emotion, and when Evelyn got angry, Alan didn't say much and did so.
