Chapter 159 – With the Ancestors (5)
A forest inhabited by elves. The kingdom of Ashildern was too small to be called a kingdom, but too large to be called a city. If you go up along the sidewalk forest near the capital, there is a bare forest at the northern end, and the long forest to the east touches the plains, the hometown of beastmen.
To the south, a huge tree forest stretched out like a large river. Excluding the territory of the human kingdom from the Peta Territory to the trading city of Esta, most of the southern lands were forests. It was said that half of the southern territories were dominated by the Archangelism, and the other half belonged to the elves.
To the extent that the words are not colorless, we were riding a carriage on a long, long mountain road with forests. Eve’s face her went white and then blue as if she was n’t used to riding in a carriage on a bumpy mountain road.
I too was tired of the bumpy ride of the wagon, and I was getting motion sickness.
“Are you alright Eve?”
“…Uh. Yes.”
Eve didn’t look okay at all. I told the coachman to stop the carriage for a while, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Eve got out and approached the beautiful tree. Then, he pulled out the curved sword from his waist her and cut it with a single sword, knocking it over. He shook off the neatly cut stump with his foot her and sat down on the spot. I thought it was a really tough way to relieve motion sickness, so I laughed without knowing it.
“You have to be careful. Elves are sensitive to going through the forest.”
“What, then did I make a mistake?”
“It doesn’t matter, I haven’t come in yet.”
There was a clear distinction between the elven forest and the normal forest. I didn’t know what criteria they used to classify them, but when I arrived in front of the Elven Forest, the elves came out and told me in a kind tone that this was the Elven Forest. Judging from the fact that no elven gatekeepers or scouts had been seen yet, it didn’t matter whether we set fire here or stick our tofu in a tree and bite.
Eve rubbed her hair and shook her head, as if the motion sickness had not gone away. I asked a question to make Eve think differently.
“Is Siri all right?”
“It will be fine.”
You don’t know how surprised I was when Eve, who said she was going to come over to talk, said, ‘It’s all over.’ It was because he was smiling broadly with a refreshing look on his face of her, so I asked, ‘Did you kill him?’ I could n’t help but be more surprised to see that Eve was angry at those words and she shook her head with a melancholy face.
“It’s obviously fine.”
Eve said that with a satisfied smile to herself. It was embarrassing that they never told me what the hell they were talking about and were only flirting with each other, but I had no choice but to move on because they said it was okay.
“Will it happen? Are you okay?”
“Yeah. It’s okay now.”
Eve grabbed my outstretched hand and stood up. When we got back into the carriage, the coachman was smoking a cigarette and looking at us. He asked with a grin.
“Sir. Can we leave?”
“Yes. By the way, coachman, are you okay? Are you sick of motion sickness?”
“I’m used to driving a wagon in the mountains. Aren’t you a northerner?”
The coachman seemed to have a strange pride in his upbringing in the North. He shrugged his shoulders, subtly emphasizing the expression ‘Northernman’. It was funny, so I smiled. Eve was looking out the window of the carriage. Trees lined up past the window.
“Groom.”
Eve, who was looking at the mountain view, opened her mouth. She seemed to enjoy watching the trees go by. I answered Eve.
“Why?”
“What are the personalities of elves?”
“You’ve met our princess.”
“…Are they all such assholes?”
“I’m an elf too?”
“Then there’s only one psycho in the asshole? It’s a fucking scary place.”
Eve shook her head and sighed. I was wondering how the hell my image got stuck in Eve’s head her. How bad does he think I am?
“They’re all good people. Elves have good personalities.”
It was real. There is a popular saying that all those who grow up eating only grass have a fierce personality, but elves have the best personality among those who live only on grass. Right now, Lucius, whom I possessed, was also rumored to be a very kingdom kind and sincere half-elf, and Erina, the princess of the elven, was not very immature and did not have a bad personality fundamentally.
In addition, there were no villains among the elves who appeared as extras, so for Yagem, this was a very friendly worldview to elves.
“Stop!”
The coachman stopped talking. The carriage stopped abruptly, and Eve stretched out her hand to balance it. I also held on to the window frame and endured. When I poked my head out of the window, two tall men with pointy ears guarded the entrance with spears.
Seeing this, I could clearly see why the elven forest was distinct from other forests. If other forests had a slightly yellowish leaf color, lots of fallen leaves on the floor, and full of dead cuts that could be used for compost or firewood. The elven forest was a regular, solid forest with giant trees lined up like soldiers. On the floor, green grass rose up, and the trees were thick and hard, like grass growing on a wooden fence.
The men were wearing gatekeeper-like armor. The important parts were covered with hard steel, and the remaining parts were covered with clothes made of tough leather. I couldn’t help but turn my head at the burdensome appearance, as if I was wearing a rider suit or cycling suit.
“Who are you? From here, it’s the forest of the elves. Unauthorized civilians can’t enter under any circumstances.”
Before the coachman could explain, I poked my head out and said.
“This is Peta Lucius from the Peta family. Through an agreement between the Elven Kingdom and the Human Kingdom, I was officially allowed to enter.”
“Peta Lucius?”
When the elves heard my name, they looked at each other and whispered in great embarrassment, then looked at me again and frowned. Showing a strong will not to let them in, they stepped aside.
“Is that Peta Lucius? Son of Peta Sirius?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Are you not ashamed of your father’s name?”
I thought there was no reason for me to be disciplined by the gatekeepers, but they seemed to have a slightly transcendent sensibility about status and customs. I asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Even though you have a wife, rumors have spread that you and the princess of the elven kingdom are engaged in such acts. Aren’t you pitiful for the princess?”
Congratulations. Princess Erina. Rumors spread that you are the best slut in the kingdom as you wished.
“…They know who did what and how they feel sorry for the princess.”
“Of course, you must have threatened or used a cruel trick! Our poor and innocent Princess Erina fell for your cruel tricks and stopped… “
“Sex?”
“Aaaaa! Shut up! Peta Lucius! What do you think your father in heaven will think if he sees you now!”
This friend seemed to be a huge fan of Princess Erina. I didn’t want to deal with more of these tired types. I said to the coachman.
“Let’s go.”
However, the elf guards again blocked the wagon before it left. He seemed to still have a lot to say.
“Mmm, stop! Hear more of my story! Answer my questions! Aren’t you ashamed to see your ancestors!”
“What are you ashamed of?”
“That…”
The elf blushed. I didn’t know why I had to stare at the unpleasant sight of my boyfriend blushing. I said.
“What? Adult men and women can have sex with consent. Fuck.”
“What, what?”
“How old are you?”
“This, profit…! Don’t say anything recklessly! As a proud elven guard, I’ve been protecting the kingdom of Ashildern for over 300 years! You carry the name of the Peta family on your back…”
“What the fuck, you bastard who was Ada for 300 years.”
“Hey, you bastard!”
It looked like it was really Ada. The elven guards reacted to my words and became angry, waving their spears. I took a quick look around. The other elves were nowhere to be seen. There are only two people in this place. There was only Elf Guard 1 and Elf Guard 2. I shouted, pointing somewhere beyond the forest.
“Oh! What is that?”
At my fingertip, the two elves’ heads turned sideways. At that moment, I moved my hand quickly and slashed the head of the elf child that was holding my way.
Fuck!
The elven guard’s eyes widened and he fell unconscious to the floor. I probably won’t be an idiot this time, because I hit a little weaker than I did to make a person an idiot at the last ball. In the blink of an eye, the guard was shocked to see his colleague collapsed. I shook my head and said.
“I didn’t.”
“Ah yes.”
“Do you believe me?”
“Yes. Of course.”
“Then shall we go?”
“Yes, go check it out.”
He was a quick-witted guy. Another elven guard dragged a fallen comrade aside and struggled to wake him up. The wagon carrying Eve and I entered the forest of the elves, congratulating the elven guards for their hard work. Eve was looking at me with her eyes wide open.
“What’s the matter?”
“No, I thought it was ruthless even to elves.”
“If you act like a dick, you’ll get hit. If you want someone here to be rude to you, tell ‘me.’
“…It’s not like I’m killing everyone.”
Eve said that, shaking her head as if a little annoyed by my words her. What? Why are you angry Amid mysterious doubts, the wagon was heading toward the city through the forest.
Across the forest, he could see the castle of Ashildern Kingdom. I smiled naturally when I saw the castle. Ashildern Castle. A place where Princess Erina and A.A. Practice scissors. A place where I can fuck Princess Erina who is pregnant with my child in her own room. And the place where Queen Salina of Ahildern, who is as beautiful as Princess Erina, is.
“…Groom. What are you thinking?”
“Huh? Oh, no.”
