The elf king sitting on the throne is named Ayrus. He has been on the throne for more than ten centuries, but the years have not left the slightest mark on his young and handsome face.
"Fiona, what could make you so upset?"
Airus's voice has an indescribable charm, and his deep eyes can see through anything. In fact, the elf princess's behavior was not rude at all. At most, her hair was a little messy due to the wind, but she still couldn't hide it from Airus.
This long-standing elf king knew his daughter deeply. Not to mention her messy hair, she would not bring even a trace of dust to the royal palace.
"Father, I want to close all Chunhui Empire's teleportation points and stop the operation of Ferus Seaport." Fiona replied calmly. Ferus Port is a major port for the Magic Empire's trade with humans, and its largest trading partner is
Chunhui Empire.
Fiona wants to close the Ferus Seaport. The closure she is talking about is not just to stop operations, but to allow the elves to regain control of that sea area. Before the Ferus Seaport was not established, the surrounding areas of the Magic Empire
The sea area is shrouded in endless magical storms, and no race can land through the ocean.
Airus understood the meaning of his daughter's words and his face darkened: "You want me to break the covenant and break off relations with mankind... Do you know that the latest covenant was signed before I ascended the throne?"
In the Magic Empire for thousands of years, every elf king who came to the throne would sign a new alliance with humans. When Erus ascended the throne, he also signed a new alliance with the four royal families of humans.
"The situation is urgent, father..." Fiona gritted her teeth. She knew it was of great importance as soon as she received the news from Xia Han. Even if it was a guess, she did not dare to risk ignoring it: "Please give the order quickly and apologize later."
Not too late."
"Absurd!" Ayrus shouted, glaring angrily: "My elven clan founded the country with integrity, and we have not betrayed it for thousands of years before we are safe today. If I betray my promise without any basis, it will definitely lead to great disaster for us.
"
Everyone in the world doesn't know that apart from being frighteningly powerful, the magic empire's existence in the world is more important because of its integrity. The magic spring they rely on for their livelihood comes from the essence of the ancient 'Dawn'. And it is the power that the demons dream of.
.
Fearing that the Magic Fountain would once again cause a doomsday like the 'Ancient Twilight', the Magic Empire was once hostile to the guardian beasts in the early days of its establishment. The Elf King had to make a promise not to initiate a war, and to fulfill his responsibility to eliminate the demons.
The Holy Beasts were frightened by the power of the Magic Empire and accepted the promise, but there are still people who are wary of them. If the Elf King makes an act of betrayal and betrayal, it will inevitably lead to disaster.
"But father, the vampires are different from other enemies. If they are allowed to infiltrate, the consequences will be disastrous!" Fiona tried her best to resist. She loves her motherland and does not want to let any danger get close to it.
Airus's eyes flickered. He closed his eyes and sighed: "The covenant cannot be abandoned, but I can't do it, but you can do it."
Fiona was startled, looked at the silent Ailus, and immediately understood what he meant. Every time the Elf King ascends the throne, the covenant will be renewed. This is a guarantee of good relations for generations, but it is also a loophole.
As long as the new Elf King takes the throne, she can make any decision before signing a covenant, even if she cuts off contact with the human world - Erus means to let Fiona inherit the Elf King's seat.
But……
"Why?" Fiona was puzzled. It was clear that there was still a long time and there was no problem with Erus's body. Why would he want to hand over the throne?
"I asked the same question as you a thousand years ago, and my father only answered one sentence at that time." Irus opened his eyes again with a sense of sadness: "Because I am tired, and I am tired too."
"The Elf King enjoys endless glory and is worshiped by the people as a mortal god." He shook his head and said: "But we are only mortals after all. Even if we hold the power to destroy the world, we do not have a soul that can withstand the baptism of time. The real
God is not tired of time."
The lifespan of elves is long, and each elf king has reigned for more than a hundred or a thousand years. Unfortunately, during their reign, they were forced to sit in the Hall of Stars, and it was very rare for them to even go out to take a breather.
This is a race that carries heavy treasures. The Elf King carries not only heavy treasures, but also responsibilities and pressure. No matter how great the king is, when the pressure becomes heavier and heavier over time, they will want to get rid of it.
Be free.
"Fiona, when your aunt passed away eighteen years ago, I felt her death." Irus said bitterly: "She is my only sister, but even if I felt her danger, I
We can't go over and save her."
"This is the Elf King. As long as he leaves the Star Wings Palace, he will be targeted by monsters from the entire world and even other planes. He may die at any time."
Thousands of years ago, an Elf King left the Star Wing Palace to travel, but he attracted demons, who killed the Elf King. A catastrophe fell from the sky and fell on the Star Wing Palace. Fortunately, at the critical moment, another
A royal family inherited the throne, and his rage nearly tore the sky apart, turning all invaders into ashes and disappearing.
After that, no Elf King dared to leave without authorization.
"How about, Fiona, are you willing to accept this power? I have been in power for too long, and my thinking has become stubborn and traditional, unable to keep up with this era... The Magic Empire needs a younger, active, and passionate king—
—That’s you, Fiona.”
"If you agree, the one year starting from today will be a transition period. During this period, you will have the same power as me and there will be no need to stay in the Star Wings Palace."
Erus looked at the silent elf princess, he waited for her choice, and believed that Fiona, who was exactly like her young self, would make the same choice. She was full of responsibility, full of honor, and willing to sacrifice herself for the people.
Accumulated enough experience in governing in the Sky Temple.
She was a born elf king, and perhaps the only drawback was that she still had concerns. So Aerus gave her one year, which was enough time for her to cut off or capture this concern.
"..."
"Father, I promise you."
The young elf princess finally lowered her head, and Erus laughed loudly, a smile of relief and bitterness. He understood that Fiona still did not understand the value of freedom, the weight of time, and she was thinking about the future of the throne.
Sometimes I just wonder if she can rule a country.
Young, vigorous, and full of vitality, this is what Erus was before, and every Elf King is like this. The history is always surprisingly similar.
However, after a thousand years, how will this pure elf princess feel about handing over the royal power to the next generation? (To be continued...)
