Journey Of The Elf Mother Tree In Magic World

Chapter 10: 10.Where is Gloria?



Evan came back to the Temple. He was third in command in the Temple as he was the rare 7th Ring Advaced mage.Actually, it's strange for a prince to become a Priest.

But the temple didn't care about your background or ranks as long as you passed the trials.

Because of his kind nature,he was incompatible with the nobels who love power and regard the human lives as dirt.

He can't fit in the royal family except for his eldest brother. His parents are weird. His empress mother was hell bent on getting the emperor father's love.

Didn't she realized that if he hadn't had affection even after the married life of fifty years, he would never.... love her. The emperor married her with little to none love just for the throne....just because she was the daughter of powerful Duke Ryan Winslow...just because Winslow family's water magic attribute was very compatible with light attribute magic.

When the water attribute and light attribute combined, the offsprings will be very outstanding and they can use extra purification spells which,....the nemesis of evil spirits,demons,curses and charms.

They got Griffin in the fifth year of their marriage. Even though the emperor didn't love his wife,Diana Rose Lewis also known as Diana Winslow,the first born son is still the heir he have high hope for....They got along pretty well because of this son born with high talent. These happy days made the Empress to have delusions that the emperor love her.

In the 15th year of their marriage, he met Daphne,the love of his life. Daphne's background is unexplainable, even if he wanted to make his beloved Empress,he can't dethrone the Empress for his lover.

To cater his lover,the emperor became colder and colder to the Empress. Dephne is high level player in the game of love. She have dark red hair,jewel like amber eyes and devil like figure. Being sexy and playing hard to get are her killer moves to make the emperor fell hard for her.

Some men are like this...

When the wife is dignified and proper,they want the sexy one..

When they got sexy one,they want the innocent one...

Daphne successfully grabbed the emperor's heart. The emperor was not satisfied with the empress,but he could do nothing about it except feeling resentful.Daphne gave birth to a son in four years.

He love this son so much that he gave him the name 'Alaric Light Lewis'. Alaric meant 'nobel ruler'. Anyone with brain could understand what the emperor wanted. Sadly for the couple, Daphne's earth magic attribute was incompatible with the light attribute magic of the emperor, made the child's talent very low.

If it's progressed normally, Alaric can get the throne with the love of emperor,by default... But with his defect,Alaric could get the throne only when Griffin was dead.

With this reason,Griffin was assassinated again and again.Griffin was lucky because he had grown up.The talent can be tested when the child is five years old.He was already 19 when Alaric was proven to be low-talent. The Emperor protected the eldest son,but he never punished the preparator.

The empress tried to win the emperor's heart back. Despite her heartfelt affection, the emperor 's cold treatment to her push her on the brink of madness. Her seduction didn't work on the emperor with the stubborn one track of mind.

She drugged him in an anger expecting the crack in their relationship because Daphne was a very jelous person and she couldn't stand the sand in the eyes.

So....poor Evan was born from the empress when Griffin was 22 and Alaric was 8 years old. Griffin had enjoyed the love from his father before his father meet his true love but Evan successfully become the only one who didn't have father's love in three brothers.

Griffin was very busy avoiding the assassination attempts from Daphne which became bolder and bolder because of emperor's lacked of punishment. If it was not for their maternal grandfather 's help, there was only two outcomes for him, disabled or dead.

Worried for his young brother's safety, Griffin send Evan to the Temple of Light with the help of his maternal grandfather Duke Winslow. He grow up in the clean temple becoming powerful but naive and kind.

Daphne's hands are long enough to kill Evan but she didn't dare to act in the temple protected by divine power. Later Daphne's background was exposed by Griffin with hard evidences.

She was the illegitimated princess from the empire of Grizzlehold. She was adopted by her uncle Duke Beaufort because the emperor didn't recognize her. Her name became Daphne Von Beaufort. She was from royal bloodline but she didn't have the right to bear the royal surname.

She hated her father but still wanted him to acknowledge her.So she came to conquer the Bright Sun Empire for her father.

The emperor fell ill because of this.

Even if the facts are there,the emperor refused to accept it. He was like a lovestruck fool. The only thing that change was, Griffin rightfully became the crown prince.The empire shouldn't be in the hand of Alaric,who had the half of Grizzlehold blood.

This decision killed the emperor. Overwhelm by anger,Daphne killed him with her own hand while Griffin was busy with official duties as acting regent and Evan was away looking for jade tree in the Mirkwood forest.

With his 7th ring power,he couldn't treverse in this dark and dangerous forest. Even 9th ring mages could die after passing the swamp. His search for the Jade tree was only in shallow part of the forest.

He found a cute child there. He liked her in a glance.He felt comfortable whenever he was near her. Now he is freed from the 'clean up Daphne powers' job,he can go and fetch her with a peace of mind.

"She said she was five. But she was smaller than three years old. Now that three years passed,she'll be eight... Will she grow a little?"

He was dissatisfied with her small figure. Whenever he picked her up,her little body is as light as feather. He can't control the urge to feed her and fatten her up.

"She will be lovely like a pink piglets."

If she knew he compared her with a piglets, her little mouth will pout with annoyance just like a piglet. Imagining her sulking face,he let out a light chuckle.

"Must be wonderful...having a little sister that I can tease to my heart content... "

He checked his small courtyard in the Temple area. He used to like living here but a child need open space to run and play,right? What if she want to take the two wolves too?

"I can feed them right?"

He feels he is weathy. Even if he is not, he can always ask for living expenses from his royal brother.

He called his 'never used before' butler Alfred Pennyworth to clean the 'never lived before' prince mansion.

"I adopted a sister. Buy some daily necessities and causual clothes for the girl around five to eight years old.Make it flexible with breathable fabrics. Some toys and dolls will be needed..."

"As per your order,your highness. But we need to invite some pastry chefs if the person you want to entertain is a young lady,sir."

"Arrange it as you see fit. If we don't have enough funds,ask from Sebastian. "

"Yes,your highness"

" Who do you recommand to be enlightenment teacher for her?"

"We need to assess the young lady first.For etiquette, Lady Winslow is a good choice,sir."

"Nevermind, let her play a year or two. This prince can still support her even if she want to do nothing and laze around."

Letting Winslow teach his sister?

No way....That rigid lady will turn the child into dignified, smiling without sincerity and textbook like manners.

She is cute anyway....he thought in his heart. Maybe when he take her to meet his royal brother, he will love her too.

Maybe...he will want to adopt her as a daughter. She is that cute in his heart. He prepared all the things he think she'll need and set off three days later.

He took three carriages in case she want to take the two wolves with her.One carriage was for rations and supplies.....two for riding. He took a hundred guards with him too. This time he is taking his sister home,no discomfort shouldn't be allowed.

It took three days to arrive the 'Darkwood'town near the Mirkwood forest from the capital city. He let only five elite knights to accompany him into the forest. The carriages and guards are left in the inn of the small town.

'Will she run to me and give me a big hug? Will she jump on me asking for hugs? Will she says she miss me?'

When he get nearer to her cave,his nose caught a bloody smells. The smell grew stronger as he get nearer and nearer...

No...Gloria...

He run as fast as he can while checking the pendant he left for her. This pendant had a guardian type magic formation filled with his magic. He could check and knew the conditions of wearer anytime.

The alarm didn't trigger and the pandent was still perfect.... What happened then?

His worries eased a little. He was thinking a lot in his head but his speed didn't slow down.

All he saw when he arrived was the she-wolf besieged by a group of orcs. Her condition was not good. There was thirteen orcs in the group. She killed six but her condition worsen as she fought.

Her whole body was tattered and her white fur became red,dyed by hers and enemy's blood. She is already at the end of the rope when he arrived.

He is really angry now.

Even though he don't get along that much with this she-wolf,she is his sister's friend. Despite searching around everywhere he can see and feel,he can't find her breath nearby.

"Kill them all "

He give the command to the knights and run toward the she-wolf. He take out the healing potions and feed her one after another. But her breath is really light...she can be gone at any time.

The knights killed the orcs in a minute. However,what he have to worried about is the dying she-wolf.

With his potion reserves,he can keep her for a week but what about later?..

Where is the grey wolf?

Where is Gloria?..
