In the palace of the Elven Empress Azhara, night once again ushered in nightfall; Countless maids removed candles from their storage rooms and replaced the burned candlesticks - a small hobby in the life of Empress Azhara, of course - in fact, her palace did not need these candles for lighting, and the Night Elf civilization, built on arcane spells, had already popularized the means of magical lighting.

"You guys, send this food to the adult's room!"

Vaschi, the maid of Empress Azhara, stepped out of the corridor and shouted orders to a few of the maids hiding in the corner.

"Sister Vasqui......"

When the maids saw Vaschi, they hurriedly walked out of the corner and timidly called her name - as one of the most trusted maids of Empress Aisara, Vasqi had a lot of power in this palace, and more importantly, she had a good heart and never relied on her identity to bully other maids, so everyone respected and trusted her.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Vaschi walked up to the maids, and she noticed that the expressions on the faces of the maids were a little strange, so she asked with some confusion.

"Today...... Sister Vaschi...... Sindis was in charge of bringing food to the room for Lord Harvey, and then ......"

A maid timidly raised her head and glanced at Vaschi, then said.

"And then what?"

Vaschi was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked—she didn't have a deep impression of Sindy, but remembered that it was not the lady-in-waiting of Her Majesty's side. Rather, they worked in other parts of the palace...... As for Lord Harvis, he was the counsellor who had recently been very favored by Her Majesty, and now lived in the palace. Even Vasqi didn't dare to be disrespectful to him.

"And then she never came out......"

The other maid said boldly.

"Didn't come out? What do you mean? Did she stay in Master Harvis's room? ”

Vaskey froze there, blushing suddenly, and guessed with some uncertainty - it was true that he had not heard of Lord Harvey approaching any of the ladies in the palace, but if Sindis had really had something to do with him...... To be honest, Vasqi really didn't know what to do.

"It doesn't seem to be...... Cyndis, she was gone. ”

The maid shook her head and replied.

"Disappear?"

Vasqi felt that her mind was a little confused - how could a good person disappear?

"That's right, Sister Vaschi...... Sindis went to Mistress Harvis's room to deliver food, and never came out again...... I'm a little worried. In the evening, I went to the room under the pretext of cleaning...... Master Harvey wasn't there, and neither was Cyndyth...... We searched the palace for a long time but did not find her, and we did not know where she had gone...... We want to...... Sister Vaschi. Could you please ask Master Harvis......

The maid said boldly.

"You mean...... You guys really didn't find Sindys? Didn't any other guard or maid see her? ”

Listening to the maid's narration, Vasqi's face gradually became a little ugly, she frowned, and then asked.

"Yes. No. ”

The maids glanced at each other. Then he said in unison.

"Okay, I got it...... Go and do something else, and Her Majesty will soon wake up...... As for Sindyth, I'll go to Master Harvey and ask for it myself. ”

Vasqi thought for a moment and said affirmatively.

……

Although she boasted in front of her sisters, when Vaschi actually reached the door of the room of the Counsellor Harvey, located in the corner of the palace, she hesitated and did not knock on the door of the Counsellor's room at once.

Vasqi's identity and status in this palace naturally need not be said. Her parents died heroically in battle with the trolls, and Her Majesty saw her as a young woman as she visited the families of the martyrs of the High Elves. He brought her into the palace and raised her like a big sister.

When he came of age, Vasqi became the head of the palace and the Empress Azhara, and she was responsible for all the affairs of the entire palace.

But this was not the usual time—Vasqi couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the silent corridor around her—and as Her Majesty's personal lady-in-waiting, Vasqi certainly knew what was going on outside the palace.

Vasqi knew that Her Majesty the Empress was planning to set up a portal to another world in the palace, and at the other end of the portal, a group of powerful creatures were waiting to come to this world - Her Majesty had made them gods, but in Vasqi's opinion, these creatures ...... More like a demon.

Of course, Vasqi did not dare to say what was really in her heart - after so many years in the palace, Vasqi was able to survive not only by virtue of Her Majesty's favor, but also because she knew what it meant to be obedient.

After witnessing the tragic fate of the high-ranking elves and maids who had been executed for defying Her Majesty's orders, Vaschi never questioned Her Majesty's decision—although she vaguely felt that Her Majesty's decision might bring terrible disaster to the city of Atherine, to all the Night Elves, and even to the world.

Things are exactly as Vasqi imagined - just today, the otherworldly creatures who have come to this world are slaughtering the city of Atherine, countless Night Elves have died in the slaughter, and the only survivors are the upper elven mages who have already retreated into Her Majesty's palace and are busy building and expanding the portal.

Vaschi had witnessed the actions of the otherworldly creatures from the balcony of the palace - she had thought that Her Majesty would stop it, but ...... The Empress just watched calmly, then returned to her bedroom, and soon fell asleep.

From that moment on, Vasqi knew—that Esaline was finished, and that all the Night Elves were finished—as for the fate of the High Elves and Her Majesty herself...... Vasqi could only hope that the otherworldly creatures would not bring killing and death into the palace.

The slaughter and wailing had only subsided after nightfall, and even the royal palace had become stained with blood from the killing; The smell was so uncomfortable that even when she had taken a nap, her body trembled under the gauzy-gauzy silk quilt - she feared for her future, but until then, she had to do her duty.
