The loneliness of being a monarch, in these days. Kant grasped it more and more deeply.

Maybe it also has something to do with what he demands of himself. In front of a genius politician, it also takes a certain amount of sacrifice in exchange for the harvest he wants.

In contrast, the king of the elven kingdom next door seems to look much better.

While Kant pondered the differences between himself and the Elven King, the Elven King unexpectedly visited.

The news reached the palace a few days before the Elven King and his party arrived at the gates of the Calradia Empire.

"Why so suddenly?" After listening to the messenger's message, Kant thought silently in his heart.

The status of the Elven Kingdom and the Calradian Empire in this field can be said to be neck and neck now.

Moreover, there are frequent military and commercial exchanges between the two countries. It can be regarded as a strong relationship.

Even if the other party announces a sudden visit, this elf king is the lord of a country and has traveled thousands of miles to come to the battle. Kant also had to go to the city gate to greet him.

After instructing your subordinates to make relevant preparations.

On the day of the Elven King's visit, Kant rode his horse and led the whole army of guards to meet him at the gates of the city.

The elf king probably didn't expect Kant to come in person, and when he saw Kant himself, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

The two of them reminisced while riding horses, and talked about the development of the Elven Kingdom and Cumberland on horseback.

After arriving at the palace, Kant asked the elven king to take a seat in the Senate. And let the attendant prepare a tea to understand the heat.

The two sat opposite each other and rested for a while.

Kant finally asked, "Is there anything very important for His Royal Highness the Elven King to come here this time?" ”

"I'm here this time mainly for two things: the first is to extend belated congratulations to the Calradia Empire. The second thing is to explain to you, Lord Kant, the reason for the belated congratulations. The Elf King didn't delay any longer, and responded directly.

"It has been more than three months since the founding of the country, and since His Royal Highness the Elf King wanted to visit in person, he couldn't arrive in time. It must be because of something tangled in business. I don't know what kind of predicament the elven country has encountered? Kant asked, after some analysis.

In his heart, he faintly felt that the troubles encountered by the elven kingdom were also related to the Calradia Empire.

"This predicament also has something to do with Cumberland." After glancing at Kant with appreciation, the Elven King continued, "The seaport in the Elven Kingdom has been built for more than a hundred years. During this time, every sixty years, we would ask the craftsmen of the dwarf country to come and inspect the repairs. Because this is a practice that must be practiced in countries that employ dwarf craftsmen. It's just that this year, we haven't been able to contact the people of the dwarf country. ”

Kant was a little surprised to hear the words 'dwarf country', and waited until he had listened to all the words of the elven king. Kant couldn't help but mention: "I heard that the people of the dwarf country have moved away from their original address. Perhaps..."

The Elven King listened to Kant's words, shook his head and said, "They moved away because the orcs occupied their territory. I know that, too. The gnomes sent us a message informing us of their new address, but when we searched for them according to their address, we could not find them. ”

"I didn't expect them to move to avoid war." Kant wondered, "Then where did they go?" ”

"We don't know about that. The investigation lasted several months and still did not yield any results. So I want to use the power of the Calradia Empire to help find their traces. The Elven King pleaded.

Kant frowned as he thought, and he remembered when he had been in Cumberland. A few days with Vivien and the dwarf craftsmen. Remembering the mixed emotions in the eyes of the other dwarf craftsmen every time they looked at Vivien.

Now, combined with the facts of that time, everything makes sense.

Vivien's hand was supposed to have been wounded while participating in the battle, and the dwarf was harsh in her words. But in fact, he is kind by nature, does not like to fight, and is relatively timid. For them, it is better to take care of their hands and take the initiative to give up their land and build a new home elsewhere by fighting against the invading foreign enemy.

Vivien, on the other hand, should be one of the few gnomes who resolutely resist and participate in the actual struggle, so in the eyes of other gnomes who have given up resisting, even if she is regarded as an alien, she should be both distressed and respected.

So, when Vivien was the leader, no dwarf would want to disobey her orders.

Kant pieced together all the previous memories.

The dwarf craftsmen did inadvertently bring many twists to Cumberland.

Kant didn't know how deep the bond between the dwarf country and the elven kingdom was, so that the elf king could trek in the desert for nearly half a month and come to Calradia to ask for help from him.

However, in Kant's temperament, since he knew that such a thing had happened to his people, he did not intend to sit idly by.

After such a thoughtful thought.

Kant said solemnly to the Elven King, "I have worked with the craftsmen of the dwarf tribe for some time, since they may be in danger. Calradia will also help to get the facts straight, Your Highness the Elven King, you don't have to worry. ”

"Thank you, Lord Kant." The Elven King finally relaxed his nervous expression. Thank you to Kant.

In the evening, there should also be a banquet in the palace for His Royal Highness the Elven King.

When the time comes, the ministers of both countries will be invited.

Thinking of this, Kant did not ask the elven king about the information currently in the hands of the elven kingdom. Instead, he told him to hurry back to his lodgings and rest.

After all, it's not too early.

The elven king understood the meaning of Kant's words, and after saying goodbye to each other, he let the guards lead the way out of the palace.

The palace is lit up at night.

Kant was again frightened by the battle of the Ministry of Rites.

Dressed in fine clothes, on the way to the banquet hall, they were all thinking about whether to withdraw this group of people from the Ministry of Rites.

Stepping into the threshold of the banquet room, the ministers of the two countries, who had been seated, stood up one after another and saluted Kant.

Kant waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.

Then he stepped up the stairs and sat on the main seat, and beside his table was the seat of the Elven King.

"His Royal Highness the Elven King."

Hearing the greeting from the crowd, Kant looked up at the door.

The Elven King walked in dressed in a yellow brocade robe.

Kant made a color and asked the attendants around him to go down to pick up His Royal Highness the Elven King.

His Royal Highness the Elven King didn't seem to know where he was, and waited until the guards walked up to him and invited him to take a seat, and then he walked towards Kant with a smile on his face.
