Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, glad I didn't have to go to court with Prince Meispil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, a trumpet sounded.

A powerful voice seemed to come from outside the sky, echoing throughout the canyon.

Ellie suddenly perked up.

"Sercelia!"

Puff Bake -

Elle suddenly turned into a burst of fire and disappeared from my arms.

"Hey, what?"

Linda also stood up immediately when she heard the sound of the horn.

The big sister's face is already much better than just now.

"Seria Akaba-sama, the master of Akaya Castle has returned."

It turned out that the lord of the city had returned.

"Liu Xiao, come"

I took Liu Xiao's hand and followed Linda out of the room.

In the middle of the city, on the avenue made up of several pontoon bridges.

Hordes of elves are marching upwards in groups.

Wearing a uniform red battle robe.

Neat and orderly.

An elf stands at an intersection and blows a horn.

The few other elves in the city were standing at the mouth of the avenue to greet the troops.

I see.

I'll tell you why the whole city has been empty since yesterday, and all the people in the city have gone out.

So I pulled Liu Xiao, ran down from the suspension bridge, came to the entrance of the avenue, and welcomed the city lord back with the other elves.

After all, we are foreign guests, and this bit of politeness still needs to be understood.

Saying......

Ellie was standing a short distance ahead.

A tall elf was reaching out and gently touching the top of Ellie's head.

And Ellie also looked excited and happy.

Anyway, I don't seem to have seen Ellie so elated, except when I was fighting Corlius.

"That's Cecilia Akaba, Ellie's mother-sama."

Ay?

Ellie's mother?

This one...... Genie.

Long blonde hair, braided into a thick braid, hung down in front of his shoulders, and two elven ears turned deftly.

With big brown eyes and no traces of age on his face, he looks brave and steady.

A silver-white light armor covered with a red cloth and gold-rimmed robe.

The robes are embroidered with brown and yellow maple leaves.

Behind him is a fiery red cape, somewhat similar to that of Maispil.

Wait, this elf looks familiar.

By the way, I have this memory in my mind, when she fought against Corlius, Elle once incarnated as a fire elf giant.

The giant's appearance is very similar to that of Seria.

Ellie was excitedly talking to Serena-sama, but she couldn't hear me from my position.

I can only see that Ellie's eyes are very bright.

Her heart was full of admiration, and this strong emotion passed directly from the soul link to my heart.

Lord Secelia took Ellie's hand and walked up the avenue like a mother holding her little daughter.

She nodded in greeting to the elves who welcomed them on the side of the road.

"Oh, is this our guest from Red Cliff City?"

Sercelia-sama stopped in front of me.

Her voice was gentle and clear and decisive, full of strength that had been precipitated over a long period of time.

"Ellie Heranna's medium, salute you"

Mistress Sercelia said, bowing her head slightly, and I hurriedly bowed as well.

"Salute to the Adults......"

"Clams, clams, clams—"

is worthy of being Elle's mother, laughing and Elle in the same tone, full of the playful feeling of a little girl.

"Then you are a genius hero, Liu Xiao?"

Ay?

When did Liu Xiao's title become 'Genius Hero', not Liu Xiaoqing's sister?

Liu Xiao gracefully bowed, although he was not wearing a skirt, his hands seemed to be holding the skirt as naturally.

When did Liu Xiao learn such high-grade etiquette?

This girl is always full of surprises for me.

But then again, the female elf in front of her, Secelia Akaba.

Ellie's mother gave me the feeling of a tiger mother without a dog.

The magic all over her body is fiercely aggressive, and just standing in front of her makes people fearful.

There was a chaotic sound at the back of the line.

It attracted the attention of the lord of the castle, and also attracted our attention......

Sky!

That Assassin!

He was being held by three or five elves.

Two long crimson axes rested around his neck.

He's not dead!?

"Your Excellency...... He's ......"

Linda asked nervously.

"Don't be nervous, we met him when we came back from the Rolling Stones Plains"

"Looks like he's giving you a lot of trouble too."

Mistress Seria turned back, staring at us with a knife-like glare.

It seems that no secret can be hidden in front of her, and it will be revealed at a glance.

So I didn't dare to show any wavering in my heart on my face.

I can only sigh how unlucky this assassin is today.

His bad luck even affected us.

"What are you going to do with him?"

"The Elven King has ordered that if the Dawn Mountains are invaded, the invaders captured alive are to be escorted to the royal city of Elgonda for interrogation by the Elven King himself."

"The Elven King?"

Linda asked, puzzled.

"You don't know yet, do you?"

The lord of the castle said to us with a happy face.

"Yesterday, Prince Mespil finally agreed to the proposal of the Council of Dawn, and at 0:00 today, he officially inherited the Elven King."

Scare!?

This good news is thunderous for me.

No, it seems like I'm not alone.

Linda and Liu Xiao both showed complicated expressions at the same time.

Ellie stared at her mother with her mouth wide open in surprise.

"The Dawn Mountains have finally ended without the Elven King"

Mistress Seria didn't seem to care about the unusual behavior of the few of us.

"But it's really surprising, he has refused for so long, and we are all planning to let someone else inherit the Elven King"

"I didn't expect him to agree"

Secelia probably thought, we were just surprised.

But this is not a surprise, and the problem we are facing now is huge.

On the towering tower, red petals are sprinkled to welcome the lord of the castle.

In such a lively scene, my heart is really complicated......

Suddenly, from the mountain pass, a huge reddish-brown elven wood ship floated through the sky.

Because Chiya City was built in a canyon, I didn't see it for the first time.

The ship slowed down and docked in front of a circular stone platform.

An elf in heavy armor and a golden battle robe jumped from the ship.

Walked straight towards us.

Two or three meters away, the big elf knelt down on one knee and bowed his head.

"Serena-sama, Her Highness Eliherana"

"Get up, Kyle"

This person seems to have an extraordinary temperament, a slight status, and seems to be some kind of minister close to the royal family.

"The Elven King Maispil invited Her Royal Highness Ellie Anna, as well as Her Royal Highness the Princess's psychic Liu Xiaoqing, and his sister Liu Xiao to Elgonda as guests."

"At the same time, the executor Linda Akaji was appointed as Liu Xiao's bodyguard during his visit to the Dawn Mountains."

Finished.

The Elven King has summoned us.

Suddenly it felt like the guillotine was not far away.

The messenger was delighted, as if congratulating us on our reception by the Elven King.

But I couldn't be happier.

"That's a great honor, then you go to Mespil first, and when you come back, Red Cliff City will entertain you again."

As soon as Sercelia said this, we immediately came to the point where we had to go.

"By the way, Kyle, we just caught an Assassin and brought it to Maispil...... No, bring it to the Elven King."

"Obedience"

Kyle waved his hand, and several tall elves disembarked from the ship and escorted the red-clad assassin onto the ship.

No way......

What kind of development is this?

Suddenly I felt a chill, as if fate was trying to play tricks on us.

Kyle makes a 'please' motion.

Liu Xiao and Linda and I looked at each other a few times, and it seemed that there was no other way but to follow on the boat.

Elle suddenly lost her excitement, her face was uneasy, and she stood there not knowing what to do.

In a word......

I picked her up and gently touched the top of her head, trying to comfort the little one.

Mistress Secelia looked at me and Ellie and laughed.

"Worthy of the medium" chosen by Ellie Heranna"

Really......

Although I was complimented, I was not happy at all.

Seria-sama didn't know what kind of mood I was in comforting Ellie.

The four of us, accompanied by Kyle, slowly walked towards the boat.

Ellie turned around and shook her hand at Serena-sama.

This ordinary act seems to me to be full of sadness now.

It seems like...... It's like saying, 'Farewell'.
