On the other side, Ivas and Grace, who were directly teleported, landed directly in a field of wheat that was inaccessible.

After Grace landed, her first instinct was to see how Ewass was doing.

After checking and discovering that he was indeed intact, the elf girl said half-jokingly, "Your Majesty Titania's personality is quite cute, isn't it?" ”

"Indeed."

Ivus nodded in agreement.

Although it is strange to call a celestial priest "cute". But it was just right for Titania.

"Come with me first," said Grace casually, "wherever you go." If Your Majesty wishes, we will surely be able to find Anastasia. ”

Is it so magical?

Ivus thought and followed Grace.

After walking for a while, Grace, who was a little bored, was two steps behind, parallel to Ehuas, and chatted with him: "Do you know that this generation of Her Majesty Titania is actually only more than two hundred years old, and she is younger than me. ”

Grace spoke in a way that was unexpected.

Ivus was a little surprised: "...... this generation?" ”

"Don't you know? The fairy queen is called Titania, and the fairy king is called Oberon. For those of us who are lovely, well-meaning neighbors, they could change their names at any time. But only the name of 'Your Majesty' is fixed. ”

Grace misses it a little: "When I was a kid learning how to make 'moonshine', I once licked my fingers because I was hungry. As a result, after falling asleep, the soul drifts into the fairy kingdom.

"I happened to meet a little girl. She's a half-elf...... To use your human age, she's only about eleven or twelve. I was a little older than her at the time, so I played with her for a long time until I was caught by my mother. After returning home that day, I was reprimanded by my mother for a long time, and I haven't made such a mistake again.

"When I truly mastered the inheritance, I relied on my own power to re-enter the fairy kingdom. That's when I saw her again.

At the time, she had become a goblin and had completely forgotten her name as an elf. The buds she hatches are lilies, so she wears a white dress; And I hadn't gathered my wings yet, and my back was bare. And because when you resonate with the path of beauty, your body will glow green...... That's why I called her Sayuri, and she called me Little Leaf.

"It didn't take long for me to hear that there was a new queen. So my mother took me to meet me...... That's when I learned that Sayuri had become the new Titania. ”

Grace said wistfully as she walked through the wheat fields with Eivus.

Unlike the estrangement and politeness on the outside, she immediately became much more lively after entering the fairy kingdom.

At this time, Ivus's expression was a little strange: "Speaking of which...... How old is Anastasia? ”

"Eighty-seven years old."

Grace replied immediately.

- Very well, bigger than Her Majesty Queen Sophia.

Ivus sneered inwardly.

"What about you?"

"I'm more than two hundred."

"Sounds younger than Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

"Well, almost. I should have been smaller. Lady Grace said lightly.

That is to say, she is smaller than both Pure White and Janis.

"And how old was Mr. Maxim?" ”

"It's more than one hundred and thirty, and I was a little girl at that time."

Mrs. Grace put her hands behind her back and smiled, "I know what you're thinking, Mr. Ewass. Indeed, Maxim was over 300 years old at the time...... We looked like he was my father.

"But we're not like humans. We generally come of age according to the age of 100, so I am already an adult. Because that's the moment when the 'two-digit' breaks through to the 'three-digit'. It indicates that the second beauty representing 'innocence' has jumped to the third dedication representing 'responsibility'.

At the same time, the 'one' contained in 'one hundred years old' is the holy number of love. Therefore, from the age of a hundred, the elves can be allowed to procreate. The body has only developed since then...... From that point on, both men and women would look skinny. ”

It wasn't an illusion—Ivas always felt that Mrs. Grace looked quite young. It's not the same as the calm and steady mage Maxim. Previously, Ivas thought it was due to Grace's inheritance, but now it seems that she is indeed very young. When she gave birth to Anastasia, she should have been less than half the age of pure white.

It's no wonder that her children are so old, and they can still have the childlike heart to use fairy spells.

"That's why I hope Anastasia can live a few more years......"

Speaking of this, the smile on her face also faded a lot, and her voice became softer: "When she was in her thirties, there were traces of tree transformation on her body. Even by your human standards, thirty years old is considered young to have a terminal illness, right? ”

“…… Truly. ”

"And for us elves, that's only the first third of adulthood. By the time she was in her fifties, the tree had already entered the second stage. Once you enter the third stage, you basically can't wake up.

I just hope that she will live to adulthood.

"I just wish I could give her a 100th birthday...... Celebrating her coming of age. ”

Grace's mood was a little melancholy: "When you see her for a while, please don't show surprise, fear or pity...... That kid is very sensitive.

"I lied about one thing before. You've guessed it, she did use 'real illusions'. It is also an important part of the illusion inheritance of the 'Moonlight' lineage.

"And the reason why we use 'real illusions'...... It's because she thinks she's become ugly. Mr. Yunus said that he had met an 'elf girl'. That means what he saw was definitely not the real Anastasia......"

Grace's words came to an abrupt halt.

Because they had seen a girl from afar.

— or rather, maybe it was a girl.

She wore a long light gold dress that was long enough to cover her legs. And it had been dragging on the ground for a long time, and the ends were a little worn and white, and some were broken and ragged.

She didn't have the graceful and slender figure of a girl, but like a rickety and thin old man.

It's like a leafless tree in a skirt under the moonlight.

She held her hands aloft like a tree holding its branches—her arms were covered with a layer of dry white bark that completely covered her skin, and the joints of her left arm and right wrist were bent back and branches were pulled out of them.

But there was no butterfly-like goblin on the branch that was held high.

She stared at her hand, which was filled with a flower.

It was obviously not a flower that grew on her, but was taken by a goblin.

By this time, she was already half-asleep. The whole person was bathed in the sun, quietly sleepy.

"Aya."

Grace whispered her daughter's nickname.

This young mother finally exuded a clear and gentle temperament at this time. It was only at this time that Ivas could truly feel it...... She is indeed a mother who is worried about her daughter's health, not a girl who is still innocent and carefree.

"Mom!"

Hearing the call, Anastasia was startled.

She wanted to come back, but it was tough for her.

As she turned, there was a stiff sound of squeaking. As her skirt swayed, Eivus could see that her legs had turned into tree trunks. And her face is almost completely covered with tree bark. Only about a palm of her face could still see the bloodless soft skin, and her immature and beautiful silhouette could still be seen.

It's like a petrified person, petrified from the ends of the limbs and gradually spreading to the face...... At this time, the petrification had spread to the last moment, and only the face with fear remained.

She looked up half at space, half at her raised hand. Just staring at the sky, as if trying to break free from it.

Just trying to lower your head makes a terrifying creak from the trunk.

It's not so much that she's transformed into a tree, but rather that it's a girl trapped in a twisted and terrifying tree—

And the moment she saw Aihuas, she was suddenly startled.

In an instant, Ivas saw that the "tree girl" suddenly became blurry and hazy.

The next moment, a little girl in a pale gold dress ran over in a panic: "Mom! How did you...... Bring a friend and don't say a word in advance......"

She looks at least eighty percent similar to Grace, just like Grace's sister.

Evas leaned over in some surprise, only to find that she had a warm body and a fragrance in her hair.

Everything is as if it were real.
