Chapter 406: Sincere Conversation
"May I join you?"
"..." (I)
I just want to forget about my troubles while enjoying the night sky in this wonderful place, but I hear the same voice I heard during the earlier riot, the voice of the person who stopped me from killing those Elves.
"I was wondering if you would come to me or would you be waiting for me where the World Tree is." (I)
I turn to the side where there's a young White Elf girl with black hair and a triangular gem on her forehead, she looks to be around 10 and a little shorter than me.
"I thought I'd better-come talk to you before I go to the World Tree."
"But first let me introduce myself, my name is Luthien, I am the Elf Queen of the Morror Continent."
"..." (I)
I was surprised by what she said, I didn't expect to find the Elf Queen here, in fact, I didn't even know there was a Queen, so I was taught the Elves have a leadership council with the leaders of their three races.
But now this pretty girl, who I can't feel Aura or power is calling herself the Elf Queen.
"I thought it was the council with the three leaders who ruled the Elves." (I)
"You are right, the Elf Queen's duty is not to rule as the Kings and Queens of other nations do." (Luthien)
"My duty is to protect the Elves and the World Tree, I have the highest authority among the Elves, but I interfere as little as possible with the government." (Luthien)
"As someone with a strong connection to the World Tree I cannot be considered a Mortal being, so it is not right to rule over mortals." (Luthien)
"You said you have a strong connection to the World Tree, but wasn't Aredhel supposed to be the High Priestess?" (I)
"She is the Self Priestess, her duty is to be my representative, she must convey the will of the World Tree when necessary to others." (Luthien)
"Why don't you do it?" (I)
"I just observe, as I said before I don't usually interfere in village affairs if it's not necessary." (Luthien)
"But you interfered when I was going to kill those Elves." (I)
"Now you also know that all that was pointless, no death was needed, that would just make it difficult for the Forest Being and you to get to the World Tree." (Luthien)
She is introducing herself and telling more about herself for me to understand, but to me, it seems like Aredhel is a public figure for the people of the village and the other nations, meanwhile she is hidden and protected without anyone knowing her taking care of everything from the shadows.
"Yes they are beautiful, if you're worried about finding out about it then don't worry, I've known about your dungeon for months." (Luthien)
"But how do you..." (I)
"The World Tree felt the birth of a new Cradle of the Fairies, it also felt when this Cradle changed places which is not an easy thing to do, among the knowledge that I have a Dungeon it made more sense, but I didn't know which type of Dungeon until I saw your Dragon Spirit earlier today inside your shadow." (Luthien)
She was sitting next to me explaining how she knows all my secrets as she swings her legs and smiled in a carefree way, she looks like a normal little girl if it weren't for the mature way she talks and acts.
Sigh
"Looks like there are no secrets I can keep from you." (I)
"With the power I control and the time I've been alive, it won't be easy to deceive me, but some things about you I only understand thanks to the information the World Tree shared with me." (Luthien)
"Tell me something, if you're as old as you say, then why do you look like a kid?" (I)
"With the power of the World Tree I can change the age of my body as I want, this appearance is the one I like the most, it reminds me to always keep a simple and innocent mind like a child's, to see this world as it is of truth, something that changes as a person grows and develops." (Luthien)
"Besides with this look I can walk around the village from time to time without attracting too much attention, no one suspects a little girl." (Luthien)
"I think I'm leaving now, it was nice talking to you, there are few people in my life who dare to talk to me in such a carefree way, everyone is always very formal, it gets tired sometimes." (Luthien)
"..." (I)
Before I could say anything she disappeared, I don't know how she did it, I didn't feel any energy fluctuation or Aura, I couldn't see her movement either, she just disappeared.
"What a strange person, but I didn't sense any ill intentions coming from her." (I)
"Looks like she just wants to make sure I go with the Keeper tomorrow." (I)
That was a good conversation, but I didn't like knowing that there is someone who discovered so many secrets of mine without me knowing.
I'm lucky she doesn't consider me an enemy, she's stronger than I am by a big difference.
I stand and look at the village below me, unlike a human city that is busy even at night, this place is now empty, I also don't see many lights coming out of the windows of the trees, that must mean they are sleeping in most.
But even at night, this place is fantastic, especially this night sky, I can even see the gigantic World Tree with a slight glow around it, I also see some streams of sparkles of many colors going towards this World Tree, this made the even more beautiful sky.
"I think this trip might not have been so bad, this sky is the best view I've ever seen in my life." (I)
After spending a few more minutes enjoying this beautiful view, I climb down from the tree and go back to my room, when I got back Kira and Diana were no longer there, Freya must have taken them to their respective rooms while I was gone.
I would like to take a shower before going to bed, so I go to the bathroom of this place, there is a bathtub that easily fits three or four people in it, I take a long shower and then I go to my bed to sleep the sleep of the righteous.
