陶醉的妻子

Aurdis had never felt this kind of feeling before since her mother\'s death.

That was seven years ago. But now it turns out that something else is driving her to feel a longing that is almost the same as the loss of her mother.

Aurdis sighed. There was nothing she could do now. She could actually call Erend with her mind. But that would be very annoying.

The man had already had too much trouble. He had even solved the big problems of her kingdom.

Aurdis felt that she was already indebted to Erend too much. Now, she had to solve all the problems herself.

Aurdis continued to read the book. Outside the tent, a strong wind blew and made a rustling sound as the leaves moved against each other.

It was still noon, however, the light in this forest was minimal.

The coming storm swallowed the warm sunlight. The thunder rumbled along with the stormy winds.

Every time lightning appeared and cut through the darkness, Aurdis flinched. Because she knows what follows after that lightning.

*DAAAARRRR!!!*

Thunder sounded like it had struck something. Moments later Aurdis heard a fallen tree in the distance.

This tent is actually very safe. It can even withstand the attacks of lightning and blizzards. Yet, Aurdis still felt fear and anxiety.

"Nothing bad will happen."

Aurdis shook her head. Trying to get rid of all kinds of anxiety and uncertainty.

Saeldir stared at the white sphere that gave off a soft glow. The rain suddenly came very hard. It made Saeldir think of Aurdis.

Even though he knew that Aurdis had left with proper equipment, Saeldir\'s mind still couldn\'t calm down.

The thought of the girl being surrounded by a storm alone made Saeldir anxious.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Saeldir immediately woke up from his daydream.

"(Come in,)" Saeldir said.

He immediately grabbed back the book in front of him and started reading.

The door opened. Laston walked into Saeldir. The smile on the Elf\'s face was thin and depicted calmness.

However, realizing that it was Laston. Saeldir tightened his jaw. But Saeldir couldn\'t let Laston notice the change in his face. So he immediately changed his face to a normal expression.

"(You\'ve always been here the past few weeks,)" Laston said. While sitting in the usual chair occupied by Aurdis.

"(Yes, we can\'t let the same thing happen again,)" Saeldir said.

"(Ah, that traitor really made a lot of trouble, huh,)" Laston mumbled while putting on a troubled expression.

Saeldir glanced at him. His eyes gleamed like a fast-moving blade in the darkness. Before Laston knew it, Saeldir immediately looked down at his book again.

"(Yes, very troublesome. If I could catch him, I wouldn\'t kill him right away. But make him feel a great suffer first,") Saeldir said in an even tone.

But Laston suddenly felt a strange pressure in that tone of voice.

Laston swallowed his saliva. Then change the topic of conversation. Wanting to immediately know something that was his goal here to approached Saeldir.

"(I saw Aurdis go out this morning,)" Laston said. "(Where did she go? Moreover, she is alone.)"

Saeldir turned his book slowly. It made a rustling sound that seemed to be heard very loudly in this quiet room.

"(She went to see the Forest Elf,)" Saeldir said.

At those words, Laston\'s eyes widened slightly. But he soon controlled himself and changed his expression of a shock to an expression of wonder.

Unfortunately, Saeldir had already noticed the change in his expression which only lasted a split second by glancing at him.

"(Forest Elf?)" Laston asked.

"(Yes. Aurdis wants to ask for their help to solve the problems in this palace,)" Saeldir replied without taking his eyes off the book he was reading.

The lightning outside struck so hard. The glass in the window shook violently.

"(Why did she have to do that? Does she, the Elf princess of this kingdom, distrust her own people?)" Laston said in disbelief.

Saeldir\'s jaw tightened suddenly. It was a sign of irresistible emotion.

"(Maybe, she really doesn\'t believe it,)" Saeldir still managed to keep his voice level. "(You saw it yourself when we were doing the interrogation that time, right? All the Elves protested and didn\'t accept being accused of being a traitor.)"

"(You support Aurdis\' decision?)" Laston asked.

"(I have no choice, Uncle Laston. Aurdis has already made up her mind,)" Saeldir said. As if he was also regretting Aurdis\' behavior.

"(Does Aerchon know about this?)" Laston asked.

Saeldir shook his head. "(No.)"

Laston immediately stood up. His face was stern with mixed feelings of disappointment and anger.

"(Sorry, but I will tell this to Aerchon.)"

Without waiting for a reply from Saeldir, Laston immediately walked towards the door and out of the room.

When Laston came out, Saeldir was finally able to vent his emotions.

*BRAAAKK!*

Saeldir\'s fist hit the table. Makes almost all the books on the table lift.

Saeldir\'s eyes stared in the direction of Laston\'s departure with burning anger.

The lightning that appeared from outside made one side of Saeldir\'s face shrouded in a deadly light.

Although there was no evidence to prove his guilt, Saeldir was almost completely convinced that Laston was the traitor.

A few days ago, when he heard Laston\'s name uttered from the Dark Elf\'s mouth, Saeldir couldn\'t believe his ears.

\'(It was... Laston.)\'

That was the name that came out of the Dark Elf\'s mouth. As soon as Saeldir heard that, the anger in his chest couldn\'t be contained and he instantly killed the Dark Elf.

Saeldir couldn\'t believe it. That\'s impossible that Laston is behind all of this.

Everything that happened to the Elf kingdom was his doing. All kinds of things Saeldir had thought of.

The possibility that Laston was a traitor was indeed quite high. But there was something inside him that was trying to say something else.

Saeldir had to look for clearer evidence and there was still the possibility that Laston was not the traitor.

His feelings weren\'t just filled with anger. But also sadness and small hopes.

p Both he and Aurdis still hoped that the person who had raised them as a child is not the traitor.
