Book 9: Chapter 45


    I looked at Tanya, who was beside me with her head down. With a smile I asked, Tanya, what do you think of them? The people I introduced you to were all my family members.


    Tanya looked up at me and replied with an expressionless look, Nier Lucia very nice Freya no like.


    I never imagined Tanya would be so prejudice against Freya. But thats normal, since Freya didnt give her a good impression, after all. I dont know why Freya randomly threw a fit back there, either. Its, therefore, normal for Tanya to not like her, but Freya and Tanya are both important to me. The two of them need to learn to get along.


    I scrubbed Tanyas head and said, Freya isnt a bad person. Shes just a girl. Needless to say, shes very important to me, as well, so you must get along.


    Dont like hate her.


    Tanya ignored everything I said. She stood firm in her stance against Freya. I sighed.


    <em>Ill let them sort it out between themselves. Nier and Lucia werent friendly with each other, initially, but theyre basically friendly now. I believe the two will get along after spending more time together.</em>


    Thats the future, though. Right now, I need to head to the elvennds. Normally speaking, the journey there is absolutely safe, so safety isnt an issue. When I returned to the elves from humanitysnds, there was a chance Lucia would be waiting for me at the entrance, as well.


    This time, however, the once open entrances were now virtually all closed. The atmosphere on all of the remaining routes was very tense. The guards were prepared for war. I wondered how many more soldiers were lying in ambush in the forest, but I strongly believed the elves wouldnt fail.


    Mommy Vyvyan is there with the elves. No anthropoid will be able to break through her defences given her demi-god powers.


    Are we going to go and see the true Gdriel now?


    Ling Yue was slightly excited.


    I was honestly curious as to what she, a resident of the North, thought of the Gdriel tribe that cut off their mana supply. Under normal circumstances, the Gdriel tribe should be considered the source of their suffering, the tribe that destroyed the stability in the North, and the aplices that killed her tribesmen. But then, it appears as though Ling Yue has considered the Gdriel tribe to be a noble tribe ever since she was young.


    The noble act of the Gdriel tribe can be fairly considered a disaster for the North.


    I am a true Gdriel. Didnt I tell you my surname was Gdriel Rosvenor?


    If Im not mistaken, Ling Yue just said something very rude


    Ling Yue whipped her tail and looked at me in a somewhat disdainful manner, I dont want to believe that a yboy is the most outstanding member of the Gdriel tribe. My impression of a Gdriel is somebody who can control the entire South, the greatest King among elves, and the fairest King.


    Indeed, I am not the most outstanding member of the Gdriel tribe. Is the one you speak of my mom or my grandpa?


    Isnt your mom the Empress? Your father must the Elven King, right?


    Ling Yue looked at me as if that was a given. She asked, Youre a half-human, half-elf, so you got your human side from the Empress, and the elven part from your father. Is there a problem?


    Iughed. In reality, Ling Yues reasoning is wless. Any normal person with a brain would think that way. Under normal circumstances, they wouldnt be wrong. However, I am an exception a very special exception.


    I looked at Ling Yue and chuckled as I exined, The current ruler of the elves, Vyvyan Gdriel is a woman, and is also my mom. My mana came from her.


    The fur on Ling Yues tail stood up. She swiftly moved to stroke her tail andb her fur. She looked at me, feeling somewhat surprised and eximed, Two women Can two women have children too?! Wh-What else is different between us and you elves and humans?! Thats too scary


    Of course I wasnt created by two women!! How do I put it the story between the two of them involves my father, Inard Gdriel. Its a very strange story. If youre not sleepy, Ill tell you the story, but well need to be quiet, since


    I pointed at Tanya, who was curled up next to me, and finished softly. I took my cape off and covered Tanya with it. The camp had fallen silent. Only the guards and patrol team were still awake. My guards havent had a good rest in a while, but they wont be getting a break anytime soon, unfortunately.


    Ling Yue ced her tail on her legs andbed her fur to look nice and neat. She looked at the fire and replied, Tell me the story if youre not sleepy, then. Ive told you my story; tell me yours now, as an exchange.


    =================


    Your Highness! Our frontlines are all engaged in battle. It is as we thought. The anthropoids are not harassing us this time as they previously did. This is a pre-mediated war! We beg you, please take to the field. We will help you maintain the rear. You have the purest mana of all. You are the ruler of elves and a demi-god. We hope that you can annihte as many of our enemies as you can, the same way you did a decade ago!


    Vyvyan looked at the General on his knees down below. She twirled her blonde hair with her finger and looked at therge, exuberant tree overhead. She didnt answer. She just looked on as though she was spacing out.


    The General continued to await his Queens response on his knees. Vyvyan is the individual with the purest mana. The elves were engaged in a tough battle with the anthropoids in the Eastern forest. She could easily crush them in an instant and reverse the stalemate situation. She could absolutely do it. It would be a simple matter with her mana, but she didnt want to go, because she didnt have an abundance of mana as she did before.


    She had to try to maintain Zero Time Boundary for her child, while her child absorbed her mana as though it was a bottomless pit. She could control her childs physical growth, but she had to supply mana to her child. Vyvyan felt surprised. When she carried Troy, the flow of mana in her wasnt so evident. Since her child was absorbing so much mana, he must be a descendant with extremely high purity mana. He might even be more powerful than her.


    However, the consequence was that she didnt dare to use magic carelessly. If she couldnt supply mana, the boundary would break, thereby revealing the change in her belly. Once exposed, she had no means of exining it to her son.


    She needed somebody toe to her right now, and said person was her son.


    Vyvyan can absorb anothers mana via sucking their blood. Her son happened to have an abundance of highly pure mana, making him the best candidate for her. Unfortunately, she couldnt have her sone back as it wasnt safe here in the elvennds. She was determined to not put her son in danger.


    At the same time, she couldnt leave the Imperial Capital during wartime, for she had a duty to fulfil as the ruler of elves.


    Its not time for me to descend to the battlefield yet. I cant thoughtlessly leave the Imperial Capital. I took to the field back then, because the human soldiers were right at our city. Its nowhere near as dangerous right now, though.


    Vyvyan stood up and walked to the door. She said, If I had to take to the battlefield every time something happened to you, what use do I have for an army? What use do I have for a General? Youre not my son. I dont need to personally attend to your affairs. Additionally, if you disappoint me, I will punish you. Now return to the frontlines. I will only personally take to the battlefield when the situation truly bes dangerous, and I can see the silhouettes of the anthropoids from here!
