Chapter 377: Golden Letter
Elysia decided to go to the Eshvelenora Imperial Palace by foot since it was pretty close, and Arlayna couldn't help but follow.
"By the way, sorry to ask but what kind of need do you need to come to Eshvelenora Imperial Palace, Mr. Ali? Is there someone waiting for you?" Arlayna glanced to the side to start a conversation. In her mind, she later wanted to ask her father for help to find any information about this Krasivaya Elf named Ali.
"Hm, it may be said like that." Elysia didn't want to disclose anything because it had nothing to do with Arlayna.
"Err... You and your daughter look quite happy, Mr. Ali. Did you manage to talk to Heavenly Tree?" Arlayna quickly changed the topic as she couldn't find out more at this point, but she would later raise the issue.
"Yes, My baby daughter and I managed to talk to Heavenly Tree. Heavenly Tree is quite friendly and easy to talk to." Elysia nodded, but she immediately blushed a little as the fluffy ball wriggled in her chest all of a sudden.
"Oho, thank goodness, then. it's a sign that you're an interesting person. Did you know I-" Arlayna started to open her mouth to speak a series of stories. Although most of it was just to brag about herself and her nobility.
Meanwhile, Elysia fell silent because Rhea suddenly sent telepathy to share what had just happened. Most of it was about Hea, the Heavenly Tree.
Because Arlayna kept on babbling, Elysia could only respond in a bit of a daze. She was more focused on talking to Rhea.
After a few moments, Elena couldn't bear to hear the chatter any longer. She intended to send this noisy elf away. 'Nee, Ely. Want me to do something to this annoying woman? She keeps talking nonsense just to get your attention and so you can understand how great she and her aristocratic family are.'
'Please don't, Sister Elena. After all, Ms. Arlayna has helped us a bit by providing some basic information that is important for our meeting with the elven sovereigns later. We just need to listen to her until we reaches the palace. Ah, I have a better idea. Would you like to hear it?' Elysia chose a peaceful and polite way to solve the problem.
'All right, I'm all ears.' Elena just shrugged her shoulders and waited for the continuation. Thus, Elysia shared the scenario of what would happen when they arrived at the palace.
'Fufu, hehe... That's pretty good. This witch is so proud of her family's aristocratic title, yes? So you will come to the palace as a commoner, at least that's what others think, but then you'll suddenly be the guest of honor of the higher-ups.' Elena covered her mouth and chuckled as she imagined what would happen next.
'Yup. What do you think, Sister Elena? Wouldn't that be more polite and graceful?' Elysia proudly stated that because she felt her suggestion was the most suitable one for the current situation.
Therefore, She asked Nell to help her write a particular letter. In this way, everything would be resolved without the need for rudeness or other actions.
'Ahem, Ely... I think it's similar to something. Wait, I remember the right word for it. Something like a slap in the face? Yes, that's it!' Elena pranced a little. This arrogant and haughty aristocratic elf would definitely be awkward or perhaps embarrassed later on.
At that moment, Elysia just smiled. She also occasionally gave some short responses to Arlayna's every word if it really needed to be answered. It only continued until they arrived near the palace gate and were stopped by the imperial guards.
"Halt! Any unauthorized visitor is prohibited from entering the Eshvelenora Imperial Palace." One of the imperial guards warned sternly.
"Huh? Unauthorized visitor? Me? I Do you know who I am? am Arlayna Vencan, the first daughter of my father, Ardryll Vencan. My father is in the palace and I wanted to see him for an important reason. This is important, I'm telling you this one more time." Arlayna puffed out her chest in a slightly arrogant tone. Then, she pointed at the elf beside her. "He is with me. So, please give us a way."
"Ehm... Alright, you may proceed. You, you, and you, go and escort them." The burly imperial guard pointed his subordinates to carry out his orders.
"All right, sir!" The three imperial guards replied in unison and gave a knight salute.
"Please come with us, Miss Arlayna of the Vencan Family. We will take you to your father." One of the guards gestured for the visitors to follow her. After that, she walked in front to guide the way.
"Fine, let's go." Arlayna walked after the escort confidently.
On the other hand, Elysia did not immediately enter the palace. She took out a golden letter and whispered to the imperial guard with the highest strength and authority. "I am a secret messenger. This is a letter addressed to Her majesty Ashera Nirvalen. It contains an important piece of information that has been awaited by the higher-ups."
"Huh, so you are the one of the long-awaited intel. Damn, why does every one of the secret teams look like ordinary elves. And this one even has a baby daughter..." The burly imperial guard scratched his head and received the golden letter.
He used his innate ability to check that the letter wasn't a trap or something dangerous. Well, it was a golden letter, very unusual for him to see.
"Hm?" Elysia blinked a few times as she didn't know the intel in question.
"Very well, I will deliver your report directly to Her Majesty. You may go to follow that spoiled young miss." The burly imperial guard nodded to the 'secret intelligence agent', then rushed into the palace.
"Eh?" Elysia was stunned to see the outcome. She still couldn't understand why she was considered an intel. But, forget it. One thing was for sure, the result was the same as the expected one nonetheless.
"Hey, what's keeping you there? Come with me and let me escort you to the individual who may be waiting for you." Arlayna stopped her steps and turned around.
"Oh, okay." Elysia walked after Arlayna with a different purpose than the others may believe. She and Elena also started scanning the surroundings with advanced perception to confirm a few things.
Then, two other imperial guards also followed closely behind to escort.
In a great hall to the north, the five elven sovereigns held their third grand meeting, but now with several essential authorities in the Elven Continent.
All the discussion participants sat in a circle around a circular table that, at first glance, looked like a donut. Their positions were divided into five sections. And, the rulers of each kingdom were sitting on their respective majestic and beautiful throne chairs.
The encounter with the Goddess of Light made them urgently need to find out more about what was happening on other continents, especially on the Human Continent and the Devil Continent.
On this occasion, they needed to do many preparations for immediate implementation, considering the threat that might soon hit. All high authorities would also be involved in vital matters.
"Empress Ashera, we have prepared a tier five defense plan in all the important cities. We have too little information about accursed monsters as the Goddess of Blessings told us. But, at least now we are ready to protect every important city in our continent." An elf with short leaf green hair and clad in a light green dress delivered a report from her side.
"That's good to hear, Empress Kethryllia. Your imperial army's performance to make these preparations is quite fast. We are still waiting for information from the fourth batch of intelligence forces. We will know about what happens on the Human Continent and Devil Continent later." Ashera checked her list of battle plans carefully, then ticked a few.
"The question is, can the authenticity of this information be confirmed? What if the enemy side sabotages the intelligence team in question? We've already passed three waves of information from them, right? But, we don't know much yet." A fat man with a thick mustache raised his hand.
"Huh? You dare to question the validity of the combined intelligence forces of the five kingdoms? They are the best of the best special forces. Each of them has been trained for so many circumstances. So, on what basis did you come up with that assumption?" An elf with light blue hair squinted his dark blue eyes at the audacious fat man.
"Erk!" The fat man flinched only at the subtle intimidation of the blue-eyed Emperor's gaze.
"Alright, that's enough, Emperor Uevareth. We are here to work together to make the best preparations against the unknown threat." Ashera gave a calm down hand gesture.
"Well, it's day four... I wonder when our Goddess and the Goddess of Light will come here. After all, the Goddess of Light already said that, didn't she?" A yellow blonde-haired elf rested his cheek on his palm as he smirked slightly.
"Hmm... I'm also wondering." An elf with long black hair glanced up briefly and then wrote some things on a broad brown leaf. Surprisingly, every handwriting written there would disappear within a certain period.
At that moment, the hall door suddenly opened, and an imperial guard clad in green light armor entered in a bit of a hurry. He drew closer to his Empress, then knelt down. "Report, I am Hagwin Balsatra, captain of the Zinric squad in charge of securing the perimeter of the palace. An intelligence agent handed me this golden letter to hand over to you, Her Majesty."
