陶醉的妻子

She is a beautiful woman. Her beauty looks like a rare flower or a tree that is so ancient and holds various memories from when it grew up.

The Queen of the Forest Elves, Faenith.

The Queen\'s hair is light brown. Her face revealed a mature beauty that reminded Aurdis of her mother.

Those eyes were bright grey and there was an impression of maturity and wisdom hidden behind them.

However, the Queen\'s smile that showed rows of white teeth made her look like a happy teenage girl.

Aurdis remembered her first impression when she met the Queen at that time. When she was little.

But she couldn\'t remember it in great detail. What\'s left of her memory of when she was little couldn\'t capture all the beauty and charm of the Queen.

"(You remember me?)" Faenith pointed at herself with an expectant face.

"(Y-Your Majesty.)" Aurdis prepared to bow. But then Faenith caught both of her shoulders.

"(Oh, come on. You don\'t need to be like that,)" Faenith said. "(You\'ve grown into a beautiful adult girl. Naturally, yes. It\'s been a long time since we\'ve seen each other.)"

Aurdis didn\'t know what reaction she should give now.

She had thought things would be formal and tense. Just like when someone meets her father or mother. The King and Queen.

She faced the highest throne owner in the Forest Elf Kingdom. So, shouldn\'t she be more polite?

But when the Queen meets her at the entrance - even hugs her - what does she have to do?

So Aurdis just smiled she made it as sweet as possible. But what came out of Aurdis\' face instead was an awkward smile. Still sweet though.

"(Thank you, Your Majesty,)" Aurdis said.

When Aurdis looked around her, she didn\'t see anyone looking at them with strange looks.

What their Queen did was not surprising. Even Dolthon and Thillion were just being normal in front of their Queen.

Faenith glanced behind and around Aurdis. But she didn\'t find anyone who was seen with her.

"(Are you really alone?)" Faenith asked.

"(Yes, Your Majesty. I came alone due to some trouble going on in the palace,)" Aurdis answered straight to the point.

Faenith nodded in understanding. "(Okay. You better come with me to the palace now. You must be tired.)"

Faenith took Aurdis to walk to the palace. She did not forget to thank Dolthon and Thillion.

After that, they went out through the thick bush where Aurdis had entered earlier. Back on patrol.

The Forest Elf\'s palace looked smaller than the palace she used to live. Although still no less beautiful.

The palace stood towering surrounded by giant trees. The palace had a structure as if it had grown from the ground of a forest.

There are no firm and solid walls surrounding the palace.

The walls were brown and looked like they were made out of earth molded to form a palace.

There are windows of various colors decorating each tower. It added a warm and lovely feeling to the palace.

The towers and palaces that soared so high that they surpassed the surrounding giant trees were invisible from outside Dawnwood.

Dawnwood only looks like wilderness from the outside and above.

There is an unbelievably strong Magic that protects that castle and everything around this kingdom\'s territory.

Aurdis had to cross a small bridge to get to the palace entrance.

There is a small river that she must cross. The river was so clear that Aurdis could see the fish swimming beneath it.

Aurdis was invited in and up the stairs. Suddenly they entered the top throne room even though it had only been five minutes up the stairs.

It is also a kind of magic power that is very convenient.

They arrived at the throne room and Aurdis saw that there was a tall man with bright blond hair standing on the balcony.

He was staring at the horizon in front of him.

"(Honey,)" said Faenith.

Aurdis was somewhat taken aback and turned to the Queen by reflex.

She had not expected that she would call the King by that title.

Even though they were basically husband and wife, Aurdis thought that there should still be some sort of formality between the King and Queen.

That\'s what her father and mother showed.

\'But it\'s different here.\'

Aurdis was quite surprised by this culture shock.

The King of The Forest Elf turned his head. His skin was pale and his eyes were blue.

"(Ah, Aurdis?)" the King looked a little surprised. But then he smiled because he recognized Aurdis.

"(Your Majesty,)" Aurdis said. She didn\'t try to look bow like before. She just nodded slowly.

"(I already know that you came. But I was surprised to see your change,)" said the King. "(So, what\'s wrong?)"

"(Honey, why don\'t we let Aurdis rest first? She must be tired after such a long journey,)" Faenith said while stroking Aurdis\' shoulder like a mother who just saw her child coming after a long journey.

"(I\'m sure Aurdis wants to quickly say the problem,)" the King said. "(But we can talk while resting or eating.)"

The King smiled and looked at Aurdis understandingly.

Aurdis was grateful because he understood her urgency.

The King ordered a meal to be prepared and invited Aurdis to sit.

Aurdis only felt how tired she was after actually arriving before the King and Queen.

Laston gritted his teeth tightly. The bad news he had just received made him extremely frustrated.

A male Dark Elf stood in front of him and was still waiting for the next response from Laston.

"(How could they fail? You sent five people, right?)" Laston asked in a sharp tone.

"(Yes. But it seems someone is helping her,") the male Dark Elf said.

Laston\'s brow furrowed. "(Who helped her?)"

"(It\'s the Dragonborn.)"

*BRAAKKK!*

Laston\'s fist pounded the table in a fit of rage.

"(He again!)"

Again, the plan was thwarted by the Dragonborn.

It felt like he was always showing up at the worst moments to make things fall apart.

"(How did he get there?)" Laston asked angrily.

"(About that, we don\'t know. We only saw the last memory of the dead assassins.)"

Laston took a deep breath to calm himself.

"(Looks like I have to start executing a plan to escape.)"
