The palace with swaying lights was reflected in the lake, and the broken light and shadow swayed gently.
More than a month has passed since that eye-catching showdown. Everything in the forest has gradually calmed down. A large number of conservatives have stepped down, while the liberal faction has begun to dominate the affairs in the forest. After the chief figures were punished, the liberal faction will no longer continue.
The conflict expanded, and the consistently peaceful atmosphere in the forest allowed this transfer of power to proceed peacefully.
Tonight, Lorraine Hill was sitting alone on a balcony facing the lake. Her silver hair was like mercury. She gently played the high harp beside her, and her soft voice was like the whisper of the wind, hazy and dreamy.
Things in the forest are basically over. After a while, she will return to the south and officially start to solve the problems within the empire.
Thinking back on this visit to the Emerald Forest, all kinds of sights and experiences, the mysterious forest, the ancient Shiyao, the beautiful life, the distant ice field, the shocking aurora, all the past slowly flowed in her mind, making her
I was filled with emotions, and at the same time, it was like waking up from a dream, with a bit of reluctance.
However, now is not the time to indulge in sleep, Lorraine Hill, the girl whispered to herself in her heart.
The melodious music slowly stopped in its continuous rotation, and the silver-haired singer opened her eyes again.
On the originally quiet balcony, there was now a new figure. Her golden hair was fluttering slightly in the night. It was not bright, but rather gentle.
Although it appeared suddenly, it did not feel abrupt, as if everything was as it should be, very comfortable and harmonious.
"Lolan's singing is very moving. Even I remember a lot of past events." She turned around, revealing her beautiful face, and her red and green eyes gave people an amazing charm.
.
The twin witch slowly sat down and looked at the quiet lake. She raised her arm slightly, and there were scattered fireflies floating in it, decorating it.
"Senior Aihekatri." Lorraine Hill stood up from the harp and came to sit in front of the witch.
"There's no need to call me this name. It's actually quite long and makes people feel unfamiliar. Just call me Sister Aikatri." The witch looked at Lorraine Hill and smiled kindly.
In the duel that day, it was this twin witch who took action and lifted the secret skills of the six elves, causing them to fall back and fall, and finally established the victory. At the same time, Lorraine Hill did not break the rules and break the witch.
balance between.
"Lolan has been in the forest for a long time. Do you still like it here?" Ayhekatri's voice spread like soft threads in the night wind.
"I like it, there are many places I like it." The girl recalled the life and daily style of the elves. It can be said that this is the pastoral song that many people dream of.
"That's fine if you like."
This witch with red and green eyes does not want to delve into the principles and motives. It seems that they are just the product of her own troubles.
"Are you wondering why there is such a deep connection between witches and elves, yet they are so little known to humans?"
After asking Lorraine Hill a simple question, the twin witch finally talked about her life experience.
"I'm a little curious, but I seem to understand." Lorraine Hill said his thoughts.
"Do you understand? Maybe this concept only came into being in the past few hundred years." Ayhekatri picked up the tea in front of her, stirred it slightly, and then blew a small breath.
"The relationship between elves and humans used to be very tense. It was an almost fatal hatred."
"Humans exterminated the Silver Elves and burned the World Tree, the sacred object in the hearts of all elves. In the past, elves also clashed with humans, leading to the destruction of the True Red Empire."
"Even if there is a great cause to resist the disaster of chaos later, everything in the past is still difficult to resolve."
She slowly drank the black tea in her hand, looked at the rippling lake surface at night, and spoke softly.
"It was an accident that I became a witch. If it hadn't been for this, maybe I should have lived as a young lady from a small noble family, married a local husband of the same status, and then spent the rest of my life in the castle."
"The castles in the early Third Age were not as comfortable as they are now. Stone buildings are prone to leaks, and the rooms inside are dark and damp with no sunlight. As a small noble, there are not many people to serve you.
, unless you are the head of the household, you may even need to do some chores by yourself occasionally, such as brushing horses, sewing clothes, making snacks for guests, etc."
"I watched several of my sisters grow up and get married, basically going through this process. At that time, I thought that I would be the same, and I was already prepared for this."
"But the only difference is that my appearance is different from that of my sisters. For this little aristocratic family, my appearance is too out of the ordinary, especially for children with eyes of different colors."
"It is normal for children to have the same color eyes. In church scriptures, angels and other pure beings are naturally pure colors. Different colors will attract a lot of criticism."
"Some people slander, some are jealous, but some people send blessings."
"Thanks to this appearance, I was adopted as an adopted daughter by a noble with a prominent family background. They also hired teachers for me to teach me a lot of knowledge and etiquette."
"At this time, I slowly realized the vastness of this world, and those legendary stories and characters are actually part of history."
"Soon, the speed at which I practiced the extraordinary sequence accelerated all the way. At first, the master of the house was appreciative and complimentary, then he was surprised and surprised, and then he was uneasy and inquisitive. Finally, the master of the house finally confirmed my identity as a witch."
"As a witch, it is almost impossible for me to be controlled again. Although I had just grown up at that time, no one in my family could match my strength, and the people around me also gradually changed from loving and caring me to respecting and even fearing me.
"
"From then on, even my nominal father no longer dared to speak loudly to me, but asked me for my opinion with great respect."
"I no longer appear in the eyes of outsiders. I stay quietly in the tower in the mansion and live a repetitive time."
"I guard this family and watch the head of the family slowly grow old from his prime, his children gradually grow up, then his grandsons, and finally even his grandson's grandsons."
"Only a few people in my family know of my existence. I don't want to meet outsiders. But in the process of teaching every boy and girl in my family, I finally understood what my power is."
"Twins are born, reflections are created." After saying this, the witch slowly turned her face and gently lifted the hair beside her ears, revealing her slightly delicate and pointed ears.
"The appearance I was born with is not an accident, but the result of the awakening of the elf blood in my body."
"Although both parents are humans, a certain generation of ancestors actually had a union with elves."
"After knowing my bloodline, I left the castle where I had stayed for more than a hundred years and began my journey to find elves."
"After entering the Emerald Forest, I was not rejected because of my natural ears and appearance. I was quickly accepted by everyone, and then slowly integrated into the life of the elves."
"It's really strange. Elves and humans were obviously enemies at that time, but they actually shared common hobbies and preferences in many aspects."
"I was keenly aware of this, and then I traveled to every corner of the forest and became good friends with the Elf Queen at that time."
"Tanya is a very young queen. Her personality is very similar to that of Aiqinweila today. She has excellent talent and appearance, but also has a simple personality. At that time, I was afraid that she would be too kind and would not be able to be a queen.
position, I told her a lot about the human aristocrats, including some of their conspiracies and calculations."
"But what I didn't expect was that she was more interested in these wonderful and different things about human society, and even asked me to talk more about it."
"I couldn't resist her pleas, so I gradually told her more and more human things, and even wrote some dark fairy tales and poems. From this, she became more and more curious about everything in the outside world."
"What kind of water you use to water it will produce what kind of fruit."
"Prince Yalin of the Cang Yue Kingdom came to the forest and completely satisfied Tania's expectations for the image of a prince in fairy tales. He is so handsome, so decisive, gentle to those around him, and extremely cruel to his opponents."
"In order to satisfy her curiosity and meet this prince, she asked me to create conditions for her to meet this foreign prince up close."
"This is also the cause of everything later."
"The temperament and personality of the red prince Yalin are completely different from the elves in the forest, which makes Tania completely fall in love."
"The love between the two is heating up rapidly, and I have no choice but to bless it from the sidelines."
"I didn't like Yalin very much at first, because this prince is scheming, decisive and cruel. Even though Tania is stronger in her own right, she will not be his match in love."
"And after Tania, the elf queen, revealed that all the conditions in the forest were known to Yalin, he quickly realized that this was a rare opportunity in a thousand years."
"He is going to marry Her Majesty the Elf Queen, and the entire Emerald Forest will become a dowry."
"When you hear this, do you feel like a fairy tale and beautiful disillusionment?" Ayhekatri put down the cup.
"A little bit." Lorraine Hill replied quietly, but he was not completely sure.
"But it seems more real and moving."
"Yalin began to advance this idea, but soon encountered strong opposition and even anger from the elves."
"At that time, although the overall strength of humans was higher than that of elves, individuals were still not strong, and there were more bad guys, which left a lot of bad impressions on the elves."
"Then how did Yalin solve this problem?" Lorraine Hill asked curiously.
"He knew that he could not gain the trust of the elves by relying on his own words, so he later asked his former teacher for help."
"It must be Si Ye."
"Well, Si Ye thought about this for a long time and agreed to the student's request. However, he also made some agreements with Yalin, such as not to use the elves at will, not to betray Tania, and to treat his people well in the future.
, to better build the country and so on.”
"All of these Yalin agreed, and then the witches gradually took action."
"It was also at that time that I, the mixed-blood witch hiding among the elves, was discovered by them."
"With the endorsement and approval of the long-lived and extremely powerful witch, the elves were no longer tough and slowly accepted the result, and then Yalin entered into marriage with Tania."
"I fully revealed my identity and appearance as a witch during their wedding for the first time, and gave them my blessing so that their descendants could rule and protect this land."
"Lolan is curious about the outcome. Did Yalin abide by these agreements?" Ayhekatri looked at the girl's thinking look and said with a smile.
"I'm very curious." Lorraine Hill answered truthfully.
"He is a very smart person, and can also be said to be a very far-sighted person. We generally call this kind of intelligence wisdom."
"It is true that he did take advantage of Tania at the beginning, but later he spent his life loyally."
"Tenia's appearance and figure are rare even among elves, and she is also the queen of elves. She has a very good personality and is almost obedient to Yalin."
"I think if I were Yalin, I wouldn't be able to find any reason to change my mind. Where else could I find a better person than this person beside me?"
"Yalin readily accepts and does not reject keeping his promise."
"After the merger of the Emerald Forest and the Cang Yue Kingdom, he indeed worked tirelessly for the common life of the two races, reforming and re-establishing many laws and regulations, especially the abolition of slavery that was popular in various countries at the beginning of the Third Age, and established
It provides many freedoms and rights that citizens of the kingdom should enjoy, such as belief, the right to not have their personal lives interfered with by outsiders, etc.”
"This paved the way for the two races to adapt to each other, and even helped the empire for hundreds of years."
"In the early years of the empire, you could see elves traveling everywhere, including poets, painters, musicians, singers, businessmen, and even adventurers, etc. But now that the elves have retreated to the forest, it actually only happened in the past hundred years.
matter."
"Yalin's original intention may not be noble. He just wants to strengthen his position in order to seize the throne from his brothers and uncles. He decided to do this just to let his family and country continue and prosper."
"But to outsiders, this is quite a romantic and wonderful story."
"They believe in the beautiful story of the love between a foreign prince and an elf queen, and even make various beautiful assumptions and fantasies for this story, ignoring the entanglements of interests behind the legend."
"The charm of legends and Shiyao makes people linger, full of fantasy and motivation."
"The real history is cruel and full of benefits. It makes people disillusioned and cry, and they lose many longings and expectations."
After Ayhekatri finished telling the story of the past, she sighed softly.
"But even if there is an element of profit in it, I still think it is a very beautiful and touching story." Lorraine Hill shook his head slightly and said that he had a different opinion than the world.
"Does great deeds have to be completely stripped of identity, interests, and even beauty and ugliness to be worthy of admiration? I think that would be boring."
"The existence of various realistic conditions not only does not make the story lose its charm, but makes it more valuable."
"The two people in the story achieved what they wanted and each other. There was no breach of trust or betrayal. They were so happy and beautiful. This is the beautiful legend that people yearn for." After speaking, the girl nodded slightly.
"That's true, so I also made up my mind to end those songs that were about deception that day." Ayhekatri looked at Lorraine Hill with a smile, as if she heard her long-awaited answer.
"Now, a new story is about to be written. What kind of legend will you become, Lorraine Hill?"
