Chapter Seventy-Two: Reaching St. Des
The Elven King Auguste sat weakly on the Elven Throne, his eyes slightly closed, and his right hand gently stroked his forehead.
Since the elven princess Eunice fell into a coma, Auguste is like losing his soul, no longer the king who is high, but an ordinary father, an ordinary elf after the loss of his daughter.
It's been more than a month since Eunice fell into a coma. During this time, August would go to Eunice's bedroom almost every day and spend a short time alone with his daughter who was in a coma. And Auguste's whole person was also in a state of confusion, confused and overwhelmed all day long, and his body became extremely tired. Now he just wanted to kill the murderer immediately and avenge Eunice, and as for the consequences of this, he didn't have the energy to think about it.
"Dear King. "An elf walked into the Elven King's hall and fell to one knee.
"Elder Sastton, is there something going on?" August opened his eyes and looked at the silver-haired elf of His Highness.
"Inaz has sent word that Razor has entered the Anya Forest and has taken them under control, and is now on his way to St. Desi. Suston said, bowing his head.
"Good. When they come to St. Desi, I must make Razor pay the price he deserves, and I want to kill him. August clenched his fists, and a glimmer of light finally appeared in his eyes.
"How's Eunice doing now?" asked Suston.
"What else? I'm still unconscious, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll be ...... sooner or later. She'll go before me. Saston, if you have time, why don't you visit her, too? After all, you're still her uncle, and it's possible that she'll be gone from this world in a few months, maybe years?" said Auguste sadly.
"Her Royal Highness will be safe. Saston replied softly with his right hand over his chest.

After being placed under house arrest by Inaz in the name of protection, Aaron's mood became very bad. His mind kept imagining what he would face when he arrived at St. Desi. But according to Grace's attitude, it can be inferred that he should not think so much, because he should have only one choice - to atone for his sins with death.
Although Inaz's attitude towards him seemed almost the same as when he faced Razor a month ago, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face, the distance between him intentionally or unintentionally still made Aaron feel indifferent.
What the hell did Razor do?Aaron rubbed his head, part of his knowledge of Razor's attack was his own experience. The day after Razor arrived at St. Desi, on the first night of Razor's negotiations with Augustus, he received an order to disguise Razor and fled from St. Dessi overnight. As an ordinary pro-guard, of course, he didn't know anything about what Razor had done. So, most of what he knows about the whole incident comes from Aitos's account.
But judging from the situation at the time, Razor must have had an accident, otherwise Atos would never have let him disguise Razor. Moreover, it seems that the elves did not know what happened to him in St. Desi, which surprised Aaron.
Of course, there is a possibility that the elf did not think his injuries were serious and selectively ignored them.
No matter which aspect is analyzed, it shows that this trip to St. Desith will not go well.
Aaron lay listlessly in the carriage, his mind in disarray.
Felia knew that Aaron was in a bad mood and could only do her best to prepare food for Aaron, but seeing the little food left in the car, Felia couldn't help but sigh. But fortunately, Inaz would bring some ingredients from time to time, such as mushrooms and wild vegetables, which somewhat solved her urgent needs.
Eddie and Javier looked downcast. The group was controlled by the elves in a near-captive manner, and the two of them, as the leaders of the party, felt a kind of shame that was no less than being defeated and captured. If it weren't for the safety of "Razor", they swore in the name of the knights that they would resist these elves, even if they died.
The group looked depressed, and under the "escort" of the elves, they walked forward slowly. After three days of travel, we finally arrived at St. Desi.
"Is this St. Deshi?" said Eddie, looking at the scene in front of him.
Two tall trees stood in front of the group, one on the left and one on the right, like two gods of tall trees. The thick branches take about a dozen people to enclose them, and when you look up, the straight branches extend upwards until they disappear into the dense foliage. The trees on both sides of these two tall trees also seemed to be different from the others, much thicker than those on the outside, and the distance between them was very close to each other, and the gap between the two trees was completely blocked by wooden stakes.
Such a majestic and magnificent sight was completely beyond Eddie's imagination. If it weren't for the hostility of the elves, Eddie would most likely have shouted out loud regardless of his image.
Felia grew her mouth and looked at the almost miraculous cluster of trees in front of her, speechless in surprise. I don't know how much more comfortable it is to live in such a place than Hank. Remembering that Aaron had said that the tree of St. Eth could accommodate a single person, it is not an exaggeration to recall it.
"Inaz-sama, who are they?"
The crowd followed the sound and looked up, and an elf stood on the tall tree on the left, staring straight at them.
"Tell the king, and say that His Highness Razor has come down. Inaz replied.
The elf answered, and then said, "Please wait here for a moment. "Flying and jumping down from the tree.
Aaron got out of the carriage and came to the front of the line. Lan Wen and Frelia followed, about a meter away from Aaron.
Again to this place. Aaron looked up at the wooden door more than ten meters high in front of him, I'm afraid that this kind of wood can only be used by the Holy Desi, right?
The other soldiers who came with Aaron couldn't help but exclaim, very different from Hankyo's style, but not at all on a scale, as if they had entered another world—a world full of fairy tales and dreams.
"What is the mood of His Highness Razor at the moment?" Inaz asked Aaron, who was expressionless.
"Excited. Aaron replied.
"Excited?" said Inaz, stunned, he didn't expect such an answer from "Razor".
"Yes, excited. Because I'm going to wash away your slander against me in a moment, do you think I can't get excited?" Aaron clenched his fists and smiled at the corners of his mouth. After a few days of thinking, Aaron had an idea in his heart that someone must have done this in the name of Razor. He had no evidence to prove his suspicions, but he knew that Razor was dead, and that a dead man would not kill.
"I hope you do what you wish. Inaz was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
After about ten minutes, there was a slight movement of the wooden door, and then the door was slowly opened.
