Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After hearing the queen’s reply, the messenger wiped off the non-existent sweat on his forehead and went to deliver the message again.

Upon hearing such a willful reason, Olivia’s temper flared up. Although you are a queen, I am still a princess of an empire. After some hard work, I can also be the queen in the near future. Everyone will all sit on equal footing. On what basis can you, the elven queen, be so willful as to reject the meeting that was agreed upon before?

The more you don’t want to see me, the more I want to see you.

“Maya, pass on a message to your queen. This meeting was originally agreed upon between the emperor and the elven clan. If I don’t see the queen, the elven race will be labeled as the most untrustworthy race in the Oreste Empire from now on.”

Olivia snorted coldly. The anger on her face could be seen clearly by even the dumbest person.

Maya had the intention to refuse. After all, her queen already made it clear. However, Olivia’s expression made her afraid to refuse.

..

“What! She said that?” Orina looked at the messenger who returned and was a little angry. As the queen of a clan, what was wrong with asking her to wait? She didn’t say that she wouldn’t see her!

Seeing that the queen hadn’t decided after a long time, the great elder knew that she had to say something.

“Orina, the elf clan must not break their promise!” The third elder said seriously.

While drinking, the great elder said, “First, tell me why you want to give a head-on blow at the first encounter to the visiting princess.” She didn’t look at anyone, but as long as this elegant old elf opened her mouth, no one could ignore her.

After hearing the great elder’s words, Orina’s expression became extremely complicated. She looked like she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Everyone present was old and shrewd, so they naturally knew that their queen had a problem with the princess, so she was just finding a way to irritate the princess.

“Orina, you are the head of the Elf clan. My queen, you have to remember your responsibility. Even if you don’t like someone, you have to be discreet in your approach to show your disdain, not like this...” the great elder said faintly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the hesitation on Orina’s face was replaced by silence and coldness. The noble and alienated feeling of a marionette was surrounding her.

“Sigh... little Orina, everyone is born with their own responsibilities. Your ability is too strong so you must bear more than others. Moreover, the Abyss Passage has become more active recently...” the second elder was the most powerful pharmacist in the Elf clan, she was always very gentle, no one had ever seen her speak loudly.

Orina lowered her head and replied softly, “Yes, I know what to do.”

“Go and tell Maya to bring the princess to the guest tree house and wait for me.” After rearranging the unnecessary emotions in her heart, she watched the messenger leave and enter her own house behind her, changing into a gorgeous dress. She was the Queen of the Elf clan.

Sophia knew the reason for Orina’s actions. She was the one who sent the news about the princess.

Seeing the sadness in her queen’s distant expression, Sophia decided to throw away all the thoughts that she should not have in her heart. As a close subject to the queen, everything should be based on the queen. Her thoughts were not important.

“In the future, Alan will only be a friend of the elves. I will be the bridge for the elves to make deals with him. There will be no other feelings,” Sophia said to herself silently.

If Alan was present at this moment, he would be able to feel that Sophia had become the same person she was when they first met. Other than the concern she shows towards Orina, there was only indifference towards everything else.

“Great elder, the queen is still young. Should we be so strict with her?” The captain of the first team of guards could not bear it and spoke up for Orina.

The great elder shook her head. “I don’t want to push her too hard, but the Abyss Passage has been really strange recently. Soon, he will return to the ground. I can feel it.”

Everyone present knew about the Abyss. It was only because of their strength that no one could sense it so accurately.

“Great elder, are you sure?” The fourth elder was responsible for organizing the Elves’ external battles. She was more concerned about the information about the Abyss than the others. She was nervous after hearing what the great elder said.

The great elder Iffy only nodded in confirmation and did not say anything else.

Sophia had not been back at the elf forest for a long time, so she naturally did not know about this news. She was also very shocked when she heard it for the first time. She did not participate in the war 800 years ago. As an underage child, she was well protected but her parents died in that tragic war.

She was very clear about the horror of the war and the Abyss.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy. Other than Sophia, who was a powerful elf of the younger generation, everyone else was thousands of years old and had participated in that war.

No one knew the age of the great elder. They only knew that she was the only elf who had participated in two continental wars. The earliest one went back to the Great War between Gods and Demons 3000 years ago.

Not only was the great elder an elder, but she was also an elder to every elf, accompanying them as they grew up.

..

Led by Maya, Olivia entered the hub of the Elf clan through the teleportation portal. Only Chief Knight Stanton and the little maid were allowed to accompany her.

After meeting her, the atmosphere was not very good. Fortunately, both of them knew the responsibilities they had. They acted as if nothing happened and did not bring it up again.

However, the dissatisfaction in each other’s eyes was clear to both of them despite the friendly words they spoke to each other.

Due to both of them controlling themselves, the atmosphere was still quite harmonious for the time being.

As the queen, Orina put away the little wilfulness in her heart, while Princess Olivia, who represented the empire, endured her little grievance.

The two of them politely probed each other, exchanging pleasantries, and calmly discussed the matter of forming an alliance.

“Your Majesty Orina, I represent the Emperor of the Oreste Empire, Costa Guelero. I’m sure you know the purpose of my visit to the Elf clan. One is to establish an alliance, and the other is to establish a trade relationship.” Olivia took the lead to break the emotionless exchange of pleasantries and got down to business.

“Hmm, then what kind of conditions do you plan to offer to form an alliance?” Orina said with a faint smile.

Olivia stated the conditions that she was long familiar with.

“To exchange food and potions between the two races, as well as wartime reinforcements...”

Orina only listened with a smile. Even if she was not satisfied with these conditions, she did not interrupt.

“These conditions that you said are not enough to achieve your goal. If these are the only conditions, then I can only set up a trade relationship with you on account of your hard work.”

Olivia listened to Orina’s most direct rejection in the gentlest tone. She frowned, puzzled.

After all, magic potions from her empire were very popular on the continent. Even if the elves’ healing potions were effective, that’s the only type they have. There was also food. The elves lived in the forest, so their food was simple, every once in a while, they had to go to the city to exchange for other types of food.

“So, your majesty, what do you think is necessary to convince the Elves to ally with us?”
