Chapter 379: Honorable Envoy?
Chapter 379: Honorable Envoy?
'Eh, wait, it's not what we expected. Isn't Ms. Arlayna should be surprised to know that this ordinary elf suddenly become the guest of honor? Why does her father smack her head instead?' Elysia glanced sideways just before she turned at the crossroads of the corridor.
'Who knows, Ely. But, who cares about that elf? Instead of a slap in the face, she got a smack in the head? Hum, this is pretty good to say, hehe...' Elena smirked to see Arlayna being dragged away by the fat man.
"Uhm, excuse me, can we go to the main hall right away?" Hagwin interrupted so they could continue on their way.
"Mm, okay, let's go." Elysia glanced at Arlayna one more time, then she walked away with the escort. She no longer thought about that elf anymore because it was unlikely that they would meet again on another occasion, at least for Ali and his disguise.
It was a magnificent hall gate. The escort opened the gate for the distinguished guest then closed it again. After that, he left the vicinity to return to his post.
Meanwhile, Elysia slowly stepped closer to the donut-like table. Five elves were already waiting there. They looked at her as if they tried to assess her from top to bottom.
"Oh, are you the honorable envoy in question? Welcome." Ashera stood up from her seat while glancing here and there as if looking for something. But, she couldn't find anyone other than this elf and 'his' daughter. Even her magic vision and her innate abilities didn't find anything or anyone else.
"Yes, I have come as it is written on the golden letter." Elysia responded politely, but she paid no more respect than that.
In her mind, she was talking with Rhea, Nell, and Elena about how the Goddesses would emerge before everyone.
Elena came out of the Soul Realm to prepare. At the same time, Rhea manifested her Elven Goddess as an avatar. However, Rhea's avatar was shrouded in invisible magic.
"Uhm... If you are the honorable envoy, so did the Goddess of Light also come with you?" Aleratha frankly stated what she wanted to know.
"Are you looking for me? I'm already here." Elena snatched the Elven Empress's throne seat by sitting there before revealing her presence for everyone to see.
Ashera was beyond shocked than the other four elves. That authoritative voice came right behind her! She turned around only to see her throne seat already occupied by a familiar woman with golden hair and golden eyes. The Goddess of Light appeared there out of thin air!?
"Do you mind if I sit here, Elven Empress Ashera Nirvalen?" Elena rested her cheek on her hand.
"Ah-oh, it's fine. I just need to sit here." Ashera took a little distance, then sat down on one of the regular seats.
"Oh, so considerate. As for the others, could you stand for a moment?" Elena gave a slight nod then looked at the other four elves.
The domineering order had already been said, so it was impossible to give a refusal just because of their ego. Each elven sovereign could understand why the Goddess of Light had decided to take over these throne seats.
It was only done so that they would not appear superior to divine beings! So, the other four elven sovereigns could only obey and sit on the other regular seats, just like Ashera.
After the other four elves sat down on their regular seats, Elena moved her palm with an inward sweep. Those four throne seats moved toward her and lined up on her right and left.
"Well, that's better now. Hey, I invite you to come and sit next to me." Elena looked up as if talking to the ceiling. At least, that was what the five elven sovereigns could see.
At that very moment, a woman with long mint green hair with the same eye colors appeared out of the air and sat right next to the Goddess of Light. Then, a fairy with long lemon hair and bird-like wings also appeared on one of the empty throne seats, plus a white cat and a brown tortoise.
"Then?" Ashera looked at the honorable envoy with a slight confusion about the task of this elf, but was 'he' a Krasivaya Elf?
"Isn't it time for you to take off your disguise, my disciple? We have arrived in this hall to enlighten these five elven sovereigns. Come and sit next to me." Elena patted the seat right next to her.
Hearing that, Elysia revoked her illusion and disguise magic. What was seen from the outside was a male elf who suddenly became a human girl. Then, she walked over and sat down at the indicated seat.
"What?" Ashera muttered in astonishment at all the events before her eyes. The other four elven sovereigns also felt the same surprise.
One human, elf, and fairy with golden aura energy occupied the three throne seats. Then an ordinary human girl, who just now disguised herself as a male elf, was among these Goddesses. This human girl turned out to be the Goddess's disciple!? And the last, two of their pets were also there? There were only three divine beings there, right?
"My apologies for not making a better welcome due to your sudden arrival." Ashera immediately came out of her astonishment and apologized respectfully.
"No offense taken. We're only here to give you some insight, the truth, and what's to come in two or three months." Elena gave a small nod.
Besides her domineering and authoritative voice, she spoke playfully via telepathy to Rhea in an entirely different tone. 'Nee, Rhea, look at these elven supreme leaders. They become obedient and polite.'
'Ah, it was my mistake before, Master Elena. Those fairy sovereigns were disrespectful because they didn't know at first.' The baby Rhea responded with a slight smile. She moved slightly from Elysia's arms to place the greenish fluffy ball on the table.
"Fwuaahh! Have we arrived at the imperial palace yet?" Hea took a deep breath as if she was feeling out of breath, but her spirit entity wasn't actually breathing.
As she rolled to the side, she saw four somewhat familiar elves and one of her family members. She got the answer to her own question just from that.
As she rolled in the other direction, she was wide-eyed to see the three real Goddesses. They had a glimmer of golden energy aura that she could see, so that was definitely true! But, what about the baby Goddess?
As if knowing the fluffy ball's confusion, Rhea stroked Hea with her tiny hand. 'The mint green haired Goddess is still me but in a different form. A bit like you, the Heavenly Tree and your spirit entity.'
'Uwooh!' Hea's eyes lit up after realizing the truth. She was talking about divine magic, so something beyond her comprehension could easily happen.
"I see. Then..." The fluffy ball floated to get a little closer to the Golden Goddess.
"Nice to meet you. Are you the Goddess of Light? I've heard a lot about you from the rumors going around among the elves." Hea waved her hand in greeting. But it was not really a hand, just a little bump.
"Oh, what do we have here? A fluffy ball of joy? Are you as elastic as your sister?" Elena smirked a little, then held the talking tiny fluffy ball to play it for a moment.
"Heyow, weww, iwt doesn't huwt?" Hea almost whimpered in pain as her body was being toyed with, but she didn't feel anything.
Elena pinched the fluffy ball one more time and freed it. "Mm, it's the same. But the other one is yellowish rather than greenish."
"Huh? What do you mean by what you said earlier, the Goddess of Light? I have a sister?" Hea flew away a little, but she came back out of curiosity.
"Similar to you. In Zhadphis Woodland, Fairy Continent's capital city also has a sacred tree. If you are called Heavenly Tree, your sister is called Celestial Tree. Well, or maybe you could call it your twin?" Elena didn't hesitate to reveal the little truth to the concerned individuals.
"Oh wow! I hope to meet my twin sister one day." Hea was pleasantly surprised to know that.
"Not when you haven't reached Emperor-level, uhm maybe Empress-level. Also, not when the Elven Race and Fairy Race are still enemies." Elena smirked again. It was aimed not at Hea but the five elven sovereigns.
"Oh, right..." Hea was disappointed that it might take a while for her to meet her twin sister. But, it was not impossible.
She just needed to cultivate diligently and become strong as soon as possible. So, that wish would soon come true.. Not to mention with the help of Heaven-grade fertilizer provided by the Goddess of Nature.
"Hehe..." Hea chuckled to herself while imagining a fantasy of her future.
At that moment, she thought of another Goddess. A Fairy Goddess? She only came over to say hello.
"Hi! Nice to meet you. Are you a Fairy Goddess? Would you mind ending the enmity between the Fairy Race and the Elven Race? The Tree of Life is no longer in this world, so the elves also have no reason to be hostile to the fairies, right?" Hea asked with sparkling eyes.
"Err... Even though I look like a fairy, I'm actually a human. I am the Human Goddess, the Goddess of Blessings." Nell scratched the side of her head with a complicated feeling. Reconciling the two races was quite a difficult task to complete.
"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt your conversation. But, may we know who this fluffy ball is?" Ashera raised her hand after exchanging glances with the other four elven sovereigns. They felt neglected for a while on purpose.
