The Elven Empress took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to gently knock on a wooden door—the next membrane, and the Elven Empress's hand shrank back as if it had been electrocuted, and the person also took a few steps back nervously, looking at the prosaic wooden door in fear...... It's as if behind this door, there is some terrible monster hidden.

However, the Elven Empress waited for a while, but did not notice any movement.

"Woo, or ...... Can't you?"

It's been a few days, and no matter what the Elven Empress says, Luna doesn't mean to pay any attention to her. Although the Elven Empress herself was mentally prepared for this, and had long understood that she would be treated coldly for a considerable period of time, but seeing Luna's passive appearance, those elders all began to urge the Elven Empress.

The coalition forces on the human side have already moved towards this side, and at this time, what the hell is the leader of the sentinel unit who is passive and slacking off!

And so, the Elven Empress was kicked over—and the elders agreed that even if the two of them were going to have a cold war, they would have to wait until the current war was over before continuing to lose their temper.

"Trouble - Luna, she's really angry, isn't she?"

According to normal logic, the catastrophe related to the survival of the race is imminent, and Luna is still "petty" like this, and the Elven Empress can come back with a more stern attitude. Seriously, in the Elven Empress's opinion, whether or not Luna, the commander of the Sentinel Force, is not going to be the key to victory or defeat - after all, war can't be changed by just one or two so-called strong men.

There are also a lot of elf masters, and maybe the others are a little worse than Luna. But it won't be much different, let alone different. Luna actually has some injuries on her body now, and her strength may not be able to play at her full level. It's just that. As the commander of an army, it is really too much to be in front of the enemy but not be able to fight with everyone in front of the soldiers, and not even show his face.

But the Elven Empress realizes that she really can't put on a face for Luna.

Lilou's behavior, in fact, was only succeeded in the environment of the acquiescence and connivance of the Elven Empress, that's it. Although no one said anything, Lilou herself knew that how could Luna not figure it out? Because of this, Luna was really angry this time, right? In the Elven Empress's understanding, she connived at Lilou's behavior, and its essence was tantamount to wanting this elf to act as Luna's "substitute ghost".

Humans are selfish, elves...... In fact, it is no exception.

For the Elven Empress. If Luna and Lilou were to be placed at both ends of the scale, there would be no doubt as to which side would weigh more. If she had to choose a sacrifice between the two, the Elven Empress would have no doubt. Would choose Lilou - no matter what, she wouldn't let it go lightly.

But Luna apparently doesn't think so.

As an elder, as a senior. As a master...... There's no way Luna could have thrown this burden on Lilou. Let your students die for themselves, something like that. Luna couldn't even think about it, let alone say it. It happened to her, and Luna experienced it for herself.

At this moment, Luna completely hated the Elven Empress. The two of them, who were still very warm the night before, soon fell into a complete stalemate. If it weren't for the fact that the effect of the medicine Lynn had given Lilou was so strong that Luna had stumbled after walking for days, she would have rushed to the Elven Queen's side and grabbed her by the collar and questioned her.

“...... Is it really good for me to do this?"

For the first time, the Elven Empress questioned her actions.

- Will her relationship with Luna really ease down as time cools down......? Luna won't forgive herself for the rest of her life?

For a moment, the Elven Empress felt her heart be clutched by an invisible hand, and she could barely breathe.

The Elven Empress gritted her teeth and banged again in front of Luna's door. After this, the Elven Empress began a difficult and worrying wait.

"You guy...... Knock on the door in the middle of the night......"

Just when the elven queen wanted to leave in frustration because the door had not been opened for a long time, a sudden voice behind her made her stop leaving.

"Dew...... Luna ......"

“...... If you have anything to say, let people see how bad it is - after all, you are also an elf queen, how can you stand in front of someone else's door in the middle of the night and never leave?"

- And his face is still so sad...... Seeing the Elven Empress, whose whole person was trapped in a low aura, Luna also shook her head helplessly. Although she did complain about the Elven Empress about Lilou, but when she saw the Elven Empress's current appearance, she couldn't feel hatred for a while.

Is her own heart too soft? Or is it ...... She had little resistance to this hateful woman in the first place?

"You, aren't you mad at me!?"

“...... Do you think it's possible?"

Luna glared at the Elven Empress, which immediately made the Elven Empress, who was slightly excited, shrink her shoulders in fright on the spot.

"If you don't come in, I'll close the door. ”

"Oh...... Oh...... Wait for me, don't really close the door!"

......

Luna dared to say that since she had met this woman, the Elven Empress had never sat so upright and straight outside of public. Luna even had the illusion that the Elven Empress was now sitting upright like the well-behaved three good students at school......

What's going on?

The contrast between normal times is too strong, and this sudden change in painting style makes Luna feel very uncomfortable - in her impression, if the Elven Empress makes such a move, it will probably have some bad idea...... Luna, with all her encounters and experiences, couldn't be more sensitive to this.

It's just that this time, the Elf Empress really doesn't have so much thought to think about those things.

"What's the matter? Come to me so late. Don't say you want to drink with me - I still do. But they're still in a 'hangover'. ”

The Elven Empress couldn't help but swallow nervously. Luna's meaning was clear, she was now. But they are still thinking about their own calculations for her and asking Lilou to do Luna's "ghost for the dead". At this moment, Luna choked all the words that the Elven Empress wanted to say in her throat.

After thinking about it, the Elven Empress finally uttered the most ordinary almighty words.

"I'm sorry ......"

Luna looked at the Elven Empress in a daze, and after a long while, she finally reflected and said faintly, "It's incredible, from your mouth." I can still hear such a sincere apology. ”

The Elven Empress is different from the usual elven queen, and now she, Luna can feel it, she has taken off her usual disguise. Because of this, the image of the Elven Empress, who seems unexpectedly weak, makes Luna so uncomfortable...... You know, this soul faint almost dehydrated herself on the night she got drunk and tricked into her bed! How could such a wolf-like "old woman" be so weak!

"Your apology. I took it with peace of mind. ”

"Huh, is that all?"

The Elven Empress looked up in surprise, her eyes slowly incredulous - Luna had accepted her apology so straightforwardly, she was ready for Luna to refuse to accept the apology, but she hadn't thought of it. The development of things is so "smooth"......

"What do you think of me? There is no need to apologize!'

When did Luna learn to read minds!?

"It's the look on your face right now that has completely betrayed your mind. Really. I can't imagine that I'll be able to read your mind so easily one day - only at such a time. Will it look like a simple and natural elf?"

Luna felt inexplicably sarcastic.

Of course, this is not in line with the words and deeds of the "Elf Empress", but maybe this can be regarded as the expression of the Elf Empress's true heart, right?

"Would you like something? But first, I don't have any alcohol here - tea or juice, which do you want?"

"Huh, what about that...... Then I'm going to have juice......

The Elven Empress looked at Luna with a little trepidation, and naturally went to the cupboard and took out the cup, filled it with two cups of juice, and received guests as if it were normal - it was precisely because of this that the Elven Empress felt a trace of fear, why did Luna treat herself so normally after she deliberately connived at Lilou's behavior and caused Lilou to forcibly take away the task of the "victim"?

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be more than half a sentence of speculation and leave quickly? But since Luna took the initiative to take out tea and juice as a hospitality...... It doesn't look like you're going to chase her away.

The Elven Empress was suddenly confused.

"You...... Luna, why don't you scold me? I did that kind of thing before......"

"Lilou's matter, I've basically figured it out in the past two days. ”

Luna's gaze rests on the surface of the liquid in the cup, and she can vaguely see the reflection of her own face. Luna looked directly into her eyes reflected in the water, and in those eyes, there was no confusion or hesitation: "At first, I really couldn't accept such a thing, and even with it, I hated you too." However, after gradually calming down, I wondered what kind of mood would Lilu have been if I had been the one who had gone on this mission and hadn't sued Lilu?"

"In addition to the pain and sorrow, she must hate me, why hide such a thing from her, why let her accept such a cruel truth without knowing anything. ”

Luna said this, and a wry smile appeared on her face.

"If you think about it, everyone is the same, right? Even if you say something like 'I'm proud of you', in fact, you must be crying in your heart, right? When I became the one who was left behind this time, I realized that no matter whether you leave or stay, the people involved in this kind of thing, there will be no one on both sides who can really be happy. From my point of view, I really can't blame you more......"

"Luna......

"If I'm gone, will you be sad for an idiot?"

“...... What do you say......"

The Elven Empress drank the juice melancholy. The eyes also became misty: "Do you think I'm a woman?"

Luna was speechless for a moment.

How could Luna forget about the madness of that night? is already the mother of a child, and she also has such a noble identity as the "empress". Would he make such a dangerous move, which is already a bit out of bounds? Although in human society, there seems to be nothing wrong with being a queen with a corrupt private life...... However, if the Elven Empress was such a person, would Luna still do whatever she did without resistance?

Or to put it another way...... If the Elven Empress is really a person with a corrupt private life, how can Luna, who has a haughty heart, have a good impression of her?

So, the Elven Empress's question doesn't need an answer at all - Luna knows the answer very well. The reason why Luna said it...... Probably. You also want to see the reaction of the Elven Empress, right?

"Someone who really wants to say I'm sorry...... I guess I've got a share of that, too. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because...... I'm a self-righteous idiot. Luna cupped her forehead in frustration, hiding the expression on her face, "Lilou 'took her own initiative' to replace me, why didn't I have this attitude at the time......?" That's right, to say sorry people. I guess I'm an idiot. ”

Luna tilted her head and cleanly drained the liquid from her glass. However, Su Ri'an Lu Lina's movements were bold, but the Elf Empress still caught it. For a moment, a look of pain crossed Luna's face.

"You say...... Lilou, why did she die instead of me......"

Ultimately. Luna still hasn't been able to maintain the indifference on her face. She hid her face with her hands, unable to see the look on her face. However, the constant shaking of her shoulders betrayed Luna's mood at the moment.

"I ...... How can I explain to Lilou's mother!"

"That's the question. I can't answer you. Although I admit that I did have the intention of using that child, from the beginning to the end, that child made that decision on his own volition. The Elven Empress also lamented, "If you really insist on finding the answer to this question, then ask Lilou that child for yourself." ”

"Ask for yourself...... Are you sleeping? From now on, the connection between the heavenly realm and this world will never be opened again, Lilu, how can you come back......"

"No, it's just a 'channel' that's closed. ”

The Elven Empress shook her head affirmatively: "It doesn't matter if the Celestial Realm becomes a complete 'otherworld' from now on—people or things from unobserved worlds are not undocumented. The world we live in is not limited to a limited number of visitors from the planes that are connected...... As long as Lilou doesn't forget you, and doesn't forget this forest, maybe one day, she will find her way home? ”

We are all elves......

"That's right...... We're all elves...... I can afford to wait!"

As long as it is not due to the interruption of life caused by external forces, under natural circumstances, the life span of elves can extend to a long, long distance. Waiting for a thousand years, two thousand years, is not a big problem.

If, as the Elven Empress said, Lilou could find a way back in the future, maybe this idea was a bit wishful thinking, but for Luna now, it was undoubtedly like a lifesaver, preventing her from drifting in a more sad direction.

"It's not too early today, Luna, I won't bother you anymore - get some rest early. ”

Seeing that Luna's feelings seemed to improve slightly, the Elven Empress secretly relaxed her mind, but she also got up with great interest and planned to leave. However, as soon as her ass leaves the chair, Luna's hand is held down.

"Luna?"

"No, nothing ......"

Realizing that her actions had been abrupt, Luna looked at her hands in disbelief...... After a few moments, Luna finally understood what she had just done. What are the motives and reasons.

[I...... I'm scared, does she leave me too?]

The moment the Elven Empress got up. Luna felt it, inside of her. Suddenly a sense of crisis arose—perhaps just because she was too nervous?, and Luna seemed to have the illusion that the Elven Empress would leave her silently like Lilou.

Why do you have such thoughts?

"What's wrong? Luna, your face ...... Isn't it good?"

The Elven Empress keenly sensed that Luna's demeanor was subtly different from before—Luna seemed to have a little more fear than before?

What was she afraid of? Or ...... What did she find that would cause fear in this strong woman?

"I ...... I ......"

Luna couldn't tell where that feeling was coming from. But what is certain is that there is a voice in Luna's heart that keeps urging her to leave the Elven Empress behind - this feeling, how to say, is a bit like when she was very young, because she was afraid of thunder, and wanted to "take refuge" in her mother's arms?

After a lot of mental battles, Luna was finalized. Still put that sentence out of his mouth:

"Don't go!" Luna rushed forward and hugged the Elven Empress, only to make her stunned, "Please! tonight...... Don't leave here...... Don't leave me ......"

"Lu. Luna!?"

The Elven Empress never imagined that Luna would say such a thing - this was an invitation to stay and spend the night with her!?The Elven Empress thought she was dreaming, but the warm flesh in her arms trembled. But he was telling the elven empress that this qiē was not a dream. It's what actually happens...... Reality.

Luna's own heart is in turmoil.

She had never thought about such words. Someday it will come from her own mouth - Luna still knows what kind of "ambiguity" such words come from the mouth of a woman!

“......”

Luna gritted her teeth - it was clear that they had both done that kind ......of thing! What else to be embarrassed about!?

"Please...... Don't leave here tonight......"

“...... I understand. ”

If Luna had said such a thing to herself, the Elven Empress would have been happy and would have offered to do this (Luna had just told her to stay...... Pushed down on the bed and began to do this and that pleasant and exciting thing...... But today, feeling Luna's uneasiness and trepidation, the Elven Empress can't regain such a beautiful mind.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. ”

The Elven Empress hugged Luna tightly...... The rest of the action does nothing, just hugging Luna and using her heartbeat to ease Luna's affection.

"Thank you......"

Through the contact of Guò's body, the heartbeat of the Elf Empress, little by little, came over, and I don't know what kind of magic it carries, Luna only felt, while feeling the heartbeat of the Elf Empress, her constant howling love was also gradually calmed down...... That hint of unease, as if it was a mirage, never appeared.

Soon, another restless emotion emerged. Different from the previous uneasiness, this emotion now made Luna's cheeks and body can't help but bring a trace of heat.

"That...... My bed was single and could be a bit cramped...... Why don't I sleep on the couch...... Wow, what are you doing!?"

The Elven Empress suddenly hugged Luna by the waist and picked her up.

"Don't be stupid, how could I let you sleep on the sofa? It doesn't matter if you have a single bed, anyway, we are elves, and our bodies are relatively slender, so we don't get in the way~"

"You ......"

"Huhuhu, it's Luna, why are you so blushing at this time, what is it that makes your heart beat so fast?" The Elf Empress licked Luna's cheek gently, and suddenly Luna, who was still trying to struggle, froze.

The Elven Empress hadn't intended to do anything strange to Luna tonight - but now she's seducing herself, right? yes, she's seducing herself! The Elven Empress felt that she didn't need to insist on anything more.

The Elven Empress also couldn't remember a little, it was passed down from human society--I vaguely remembered. What is the argument about "beasts" and "beasts are inferior"?

“...... You're going to have a pre-war mobilization tomorrow, so don't mess around too much......"

Luna's voice grew softer the more she spoke. By the end, she had already buried her head in her chest and was talking in a small voice like a mosquito.

"No problem, I know how to measure - I won't get it late~"

"You-!!"

......

Unbeknownst to Luna, ...... That's not how history looks like.

Aisha and Rin didn't know much about the history of the elves, and they didn't even ask Io much about her past, after all, what Io looked like. It doesn't seem to be very cold about his past...... Otherwise, when you travel to this era, I am afraid that you will also have questions about the existence of the Elven Empress, because, according to the original history, the Elven Empress withdrew from the stage of history soon after.

Because the society of the elves is relatively closed, even if it is the death of an empress, it has not been hyped up. If it weren't for scholars who had in-depth research on this. They don't even notice this "detail" - in other words, can the death of an empress be just a "detail"?

It can only be said that in the social system of elves...... The existence of imperial power is not at all as good as in human society!

"What did you say!?"

Luna and the Elven Empress. Stunned, he learned such an explosive news from the mouths of several elders who rushed to the scene.

"My palace...... Blown up!?"

"Yes, it was completely destroyed - after the investigation of the scene. We've found enough evidence to prove that the human Assassins did it. They came prepared and used the means...... Enough to put you and the palace. All together came to naught. ”

It's a proper assassination operation, and even the purpose is very clear, which is to eradicate the royal blood of the elves. Otherwise, there is no need to destroy the entire palace together, and there is an attitude that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. This intention is vicious and extraordinary.

When they heard that the palace had been destroyed and that the queen's whereabouts were unknown, the elders fainted. Fortunately, from the mouth of one of the surviving maids, it was finally learned that the Empress had left her palace last night to go to Her Excellency the Guardian, and had not returned all night.

After hearing the news, these elders were so excited - this really scared them to death!

However, when they arrived at Luna's quarters, they found the Venerable Empress and Her Excellency the Guardian, both of whom were draped in a blanket and sleeping on a single bed, cuddled together affectionately, with a subtle flush on their exposed skin...... The faces of this group of elders are as subtle as they are.

Luna and the Elven Empress, who had just been woken up, were still a little dazed, completely unaware that they were going to be looked at - fortunately, several female elders were still very reliable, and before the saliva of the old men on the side came out, they took "emergency measures", so that these male elders all fainted "happily" one by one.

If it is said that people foam at the mouth when they are happy......

"Alas, people are getting old, and they can't keep up with you young people. ”

They really can't say anything about the elven queen's private life -- after all, according to common sense, the empress is not normal to be alone, isn't it? If it were someone else, these elders might still be a little entangled and have to take care of it, but the elven empress's target this time is the guardian of her Excellency, who is almost not inferior in status! Although they are elders, and their combined power is even higher than that of the elven empress, but there is also a guardian with real power (and Nima is a military power) on the opposite side. Don't make a fuss, is this still a matter that they can meddle in?

Anyway, when the Elven Empress was pregnant, the nerves of these elders had been greatly exercised, and they didn't care that His Excellency the Guardian, who was still single now, was slept by the Elven Empress...... According to the popularity of the Elven Empress, could it be that such a situation would be easier for everyone to accept?

You know, as a national idol and a lover of the public, if the Elven Empress really "favors" a certain male, she will inevitably set off a monstrous wave in the clan! Now, I believe that there is nothing to worry about except for making everyone beat their chests and feet - because firstly, Your Excellency the Guardian is not a man, so she is born with more than half of the hatred value; second, Your Excellency the Guardian has a very good reputation among the people, and you can rest assured that you can be paired with the Elf Empress...... In short, compared to the dead man named "Husband" who is actually a "time bomb" hanging over his head, His Excellency the Guardian is simply a firefighter!

There's nothing left to worry about!

"How's the casualty!?"

When she heard that the Elven Empress had walked around the Ghost Gate just last night, Luna was terrified - if she hadn't left her behind, she would ...... now

The Elven Empress must have been the focus of the human Assassins, but would she survive in such a situation?

Luna didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Almost...... There is no one out of ten. But almost all those who stayed there that night have died, and the few who survived are not in a very good situation now...... I guess I'll have to be disabled in the future, right?"

Even the magic of the elves could not guarantee the integrity of the limbs, so you can imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.

"Forgive us for talking too much...... Where is the human being from before?"

At this time, Sheena's existence is particularly eye-catching—the elders don't believe it to say that she has nothing to do with the attack, especially now that Sheena can't find it.

"The human isn't here, but there's no need to pay more attention to her - I know where she's going, and I know that she has nothing to do with this incident, so don't ask. ”

Since the Elven Empress said so, the elders did not say anything more.

"Human ...... Looks like you're in a hurry......"

Luna clenched her fists—anger rising inexorably in her heart. (To be continued......)
