Lorraine Hill looked at the deserted street and talked with the Eidolon beside him.
"There is a faint smell of blood." Eidolon sniffed and rubbed against Lorraine Hill's arm uneasily.
The motorcade passed through the mottled white stone streets and stopped outside a courtyard. This was a place specially rented to the motorcades of the chamber of commerce. It contained warehouses and museum buildings.
"Stop here." The elf young man Vio greeted the people in front of the carriage, and then led them into the courtyard for a brief negotiation.
Soon after, the motorcade drove into the courtyard, and the entourage also settled down.
It was rare to find such a comfortable place to rest, and soon someone in the kitchen started to light a fire to cook, and also boiled hot water to prepare for a pleasant bath later.
"Let's go in too." Lorraine Hill pulled Eidolon out of the carriage and walked into the middle mansion amidst the salutes and greetings of everyone.
The floor in the hall is made of smooth marble, with a huge golden glazed chandelier overhead. It can be used as a venue for banquets or dances. Going up from the red carpet steps on the side are the various rooms used for reception and office work, and the top
The first floor is a bedroom for distinguished guests to rest.
As a building in the imperial capital, the style here is very gorgeous. You can see exquisite carvings and oil paintings everywhere, depicting elves, humans, angels, and other magnificent scenes in history.
"I can finally sleep well~" After Ye Ling walked into the bedroom, he flew onto the soft big bed, bounced slightly, and then rolled around, his two ponytails turning with his body.
"Just have a good rest. I may be a little busy these two days and don't have time to come to you." Lorraine Hill covered Ye Ling with the quilt and then returned to his room.
Lorraine Hill also put on a comfortable nightgown and fell asleep on the bed first.
As dusk fell and the sky gradually became dark, Lorraine Hill woke up to the knock on the door of the maid. In a daze, it seemed as if he had returned to the past time in Hopeland.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right here." She said simply, then put on a simple dress and opened the door.
"Miss Lacey, do you need food? Dinner is already prepared." The two beautiful elf maids bowed and then asked.
"I want to eat something." The girl nodded, and then one of the maids went back to get the meal, while the other lit the fire in the fireplace in the bedroom and lit the candle.
The maid's pink fingertips turned lightly, and a wisp of flame condensed in the magic power. Then it entered the red brick fireplace and ignited the dry firewood. Soon after, a slight crackling sound came, and a crimson warm flame swayed in it.
The gold and copper candlesticks in the shape of flowers were lit one by one and placed at the small table in front of the fireplace. The maid carefully laid out the white tablecloths and arranged the tables, chairs and sofas before letting the girl wait for a while.
"Thank you, Eugolia." After Lorraine Hill sat down, he looked at the beautiful elf maid in front of him and looked at her slightly.
The elves are indeed the race finally created by the 'Sun of Divine Wings' after summarizing the skills of the 'Tree of Life'. They have many advantages over other races.
Most of them have beautiful looks, white and smooth skin, better Mana adaptability, longer lifespan, and a peaceful personality, which makes them less likely to fight internally. The only shortcomings are probably because they have a long lifespan and grow
Slower and reproduces more slowly.
This also results in more internal stability and slower iterations.
Slow iteration is a happy thing for individuals, but for the entire race, it will slow down the process of history and may not be a perfect thing.
Putting these thoughts out of his mind for the time being, Lorraine Hill sat beside the warm stove, looking at the flames in the stove, and became slightly dazed.
Ever since I went to the Eastern Continent, I haven't been like this for a long time, sitting by the fire and being in a daze.
When she lived alone in the forest, there was no one to talk to. Every night, she would sit by the fireplace in the hut, quietly watching the crackling flames, and thinking about the past.
The scenes in her past life and the figures in her memory flowed past one by one in her eyes illuminated by the fire. She savored the sweet and sour taste in her memory, and then slowly wrote down her thoughts in front of her desk.
Now that I'm sitting next to the warm red fireplace again, the past scenes come to mind again.
I wonder what is happening to Chelsea, Serres and the others now, and whether the child who returned to his mother has grown up now.
What are the current conditions of Pullman, Mira, the bunny-eared girl, Aaliyah, and Bard? Have they been injured in the war and survived?
The longings that I had never noticed before were evoked by the warm fireplace in autumn, slowly lingering in the girl's heart.
"Miss Lacey, dinner is ready."
An elf maid with light pink hair carefully placed the dinner plate in front of the girl. There was fried tender steak, paired with green rosemary, coconut-scented bread, and raspberry juice shaken with ice cubes.
It exudes an attractive aroma and color. There are also a few sliced oranges placed on the edge of the plate as an after-dinner snack.
"Thank you Yuselia." The girl thanked the two twin elf maids again, then picked up the tableware and sipped it.
The taste is very good, the tender meat is mixed with a little pepper aroma, which explodes in the taste buds, and then there is the soft coconut bread, which fills the hungry belly. The paired raspberry juice cleans the greasiness in the mouth, and then eats it
A few sliced orange segments, and that’s the end of dinner.
"Good night, Miss Lacey."
After finishing the meal, Lorraine Hill took another hot bath before lying down on the bed soothingly. At this time, the two maids quietly closed the door and exited the room. The girl's consciousness once again entered a peaceful sleep, slowly
Dealing with the backlog of emotions accumulated during the day.

Meanwhile, there was no peace in Titania's Rose Palace.
In the palace courtyard shrouded in darkness, torches were lit one after another, and then held in the hands of elite palace guards. They stood on both sides of the open space, surrounding and guarding the queen wearing a veil in the center.
This frail girl stood quietly in the center of the courtyard holding the emperor's only flesh and blood, while six powerful personal maids behind her were also waiting quietly on both sides.
"Lord DeRosa is here!"
Surrounded by guards wearing fine steel armor and crimson cloaks, the red-clothed executive stepped into the palace. His face was as solemn and cold as a cold rock that had not changed for thousands of years.
"I wonder what the reason is for Her Majesty the Queen to come here late at night to invite her ministers?" He stopped about ten meters away from the Queen, bent down and saluted, which made it difficult for people to find fault, and at the same time, he could not feel any warmth.
"I hope Lord De Rosa will stop this long-lasting purge order and resign from the position of commander of the palace guards." There was a slight tremor in his voice, but it released the long-lost depression.
In the orange flames, Lily's petite cheeks were illuminated, half bright and clear, and half swaying in the shadows.
