"My people, they really, so much desire ......"

The Elven Empress looked at her in surprise, and she was only halfway through her words, but I already knew what she meant. [. Excellence in the Whole Book].org

"Yes, Your Majesty," I smiled, "they longed for the old life, for the days when everyone was together and laughing. ”

"I, I don't even know ......"

Before the Empress could finish speaking, I interrupted her and said, "Please don't say you don't know, Your Majesty, I think you should have known it a long time ago, but it is only because of the bonds of family affection and the memories of the past, as well as the unbreakable pride in your heart, that you continue to deny yourself, denying this fact that you already know." ”

"Your Excellency," I said softly, and at the same time stretched out my hand and gently held the empress's small hands on the table: "Please face the facts, face the truth, don't be troubled and entangled by illusory fetters again and again, try to get rid of it, and show a true self, a posture that only belongs to you, the posture of the Empress, you are the emperor of the elven race, you are their leader, you should lead your people to the light, not be dragged down by fetters and hide in only your own hut, tell me, Empress, what do you want to do." , what are you going to do and which one are you going to choose? Is it affection, or is it your people? Is it the past, or is it the future? ”

"I ...... I ......"

The empress's panicked eyes kept looking around, and she was in turmoil at the moment, not knowing how she should choose, not knowing how she should face it, and not knowing what she was about to face.

This is the time when a person is most confused, often at this time, all she needs is a little courage, and courage is such a thing, I have.

With the strength of my palms, I held the empress's hands tightly, and the originally weak and boneless little hands were completely wrapped by my hands.

The Empress's confused thoughts were pulled back by my grip, and she looked at my hand in confusion, then looked up again, and looked at my face.

"Your Excellency" I nodded at her slightly, her eyes were firm, and her voice was low: "Face your heart, face the future you most desire to see, don't be afraid, don't worry, you have to believe in yourself, but also believe in your people, everyone will support you, spare no effort to support you, because you are a good empress." ”

"I want to make peace with the elves!"

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of the Empress's eyes, down the white and flawless face, dripping on the cheeks, on the placket of her chest, and on my hand, which was holding her little hand.

At this moment, she said her heart, and it also means that she has cut off the past, cut off the unreal bonds, and has since carried an unknown future.

But—

"Since you have chosen, the Empress," I smiled, "Leave the rest to me, and I will contact the Fairy Patriarch to arrange all the conditions she wants, and you, only need to do what an empress should do." ”

......

......

The Elven Empress, who had opened her heart, stayed overnight in my house, and the next morning she got up early and went back to the palace.

It seems that the Empress is well aware that although I have taken on most of the heavy responsibilities, she still has a lot of work to accomplish, such as holding a meeting with the elders, such as how to persuade the elders, such as preparing an apology ceremony......

When I think about it, it seems that the responsibility on the shoulders of the Elven Empress is even more severe and difficult than mine.

I went out with the Elven Empress, she went to the palace, and I went to the Elven Forest.

In the early morning, the forest is quiet, whether it is animals, insects, flowers, trees, they are all asleep.

I walked lightly, trying not to disturb everything around me, but as I slowed down, my speed slowed down.

It took me more than double the usual time to finally reach the entrance of the fairy territory, and looking at the clear lake, I dialed the call crystal.

Not long after, the lazy voice of the fairy patriarch came from the crystal: "Which one?" ”

"It's me, Grandma Patriarch, I'm An Xiaoyi."

"Oh, Xiao Yi, what's the matter with me this early in the morning?"

"Something," I said, "Grandma Patriarch, I'm at the entrance to the territory now." ”

"Huh? Oh, you're already here, wait a minute. ”

The fairy patriarch hung up the crystal, and after a few seconds, the portal slowly opened, and I looked left and right, and then sensed the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one, I walked in quickly.

The fairy patriarch had already changed his clothes, sat on the stone chair not far from the entrance, leaned on the back of the stone chair, the patriarch half-squinted, and said, "Xiao Yi, is there something urgent about finding me so early?" ”

"Yes," I said.

"Tell me, what's the urgency that deserves you to come to me so early?" The fairy patriarch lay quietly on the stone chair, looking like he was resting,

"The Elven Empress has decided to accept all the demands of the Patriarch Grandma in the hope of her understanding."

"I never blamed Anasta for it," said the elf patriarch, "since the sin was committed by Akahavi, it should be borne by Akahavi alone." ”

"Yes, Grandma Patriarch, that's what I said to the Elven Empress, and the Empress believed it, and then," I found a stone chair next to it, and after sitting down, I continued, "The Elven Empress wants you to lead your people back to Moonlight City. ”

"I've already said the conditions for me to return to Moonlight City," the fairy patriarch said, "This is a step that must be fulfilled, and if any of these steps are missing, I won't agree to it." ”

"So, I told you from the beginning," I smiled, "the Elven Empress, she has decided to accept all the requests of the patriarch and grandmother. ”

"Including putting down your dignity and apologizing to me?" The patriarch frowned slightly.

"Yes," I said, "all requests." ”

"Hmm......" The fairy patriarch pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, you let her do it first, if she can really meet all my requirements, I will naturally personally lead the clan out of here and return to Moonlight City." ”

"Hehe, that's the best," I said, "Thank you, Grandma, Patriarch." ”

"Fulfillment?" The fairy patriarch smiled: "Xiao Yi, did you promise Anasta anything?" ”

"Hmm," I nodded, "I promised the Elven Empress that I would ask you and your people to come out as long as she could meet all your requests." ”

The fairy patriarch's eyes narrowed slightly: "Only like this?" ”

I nodded, "That's all." ”

"Not necessarily" The fairy patriarch shook his head slightly: "If you just promise to let me and my people return to Moonlight City, it shouldn't be enough to shake her, Xiao Yi, did you still say something to her?" ”

"Hmm," I nodded, "I talked to her about the pros and cons." ”

"So that's the case" she chuckled and said, "Xiao Yi, although I see you again, I feel that you are a lot more mature than before, but you are still young." ”

"Why do you say that?" I was puzzled.

"Anasta, I know that she won't let go of her dignity and affection on my side just because of your words, I guess you must have said something to her that would shake her, huh...... It must have something to do with the future development of the elves, maybe you also told her about the moonlight scepter, right? ”
