Journey Of The Elf Mother Tree In Magic World

It took five hours to arrive Darkwood town with our speed. We said goodbye to the wolf couple before we enter the Darkwood town.

We decided to rest in the town tonight. The Darkwood town is a small border town between the human's territory and the forest.

Sir George said the Mirkwood forest is the natural barrier between the Orc's territory and Human's Empires.

Looking at the small town bustling with human's activities, I have high hope for Capital city.

The inn is a bit small but much better than the forest where the earth is the bed and the sky is the blanket....

Am I the earth now? __ Luminous branded bed ...

In the next morning, the trip to Capital city is started officially.

I rode the carriage this time to avoid fatigue and recollected Pegasus into the guardian space.

Pegasus have a very high face value. Whan we entered the town,he cause a not so small distrubance among the onlookers. If I were to take him out for a walk on the road to capital,who know what will happen?..

Evan and I shared a carriage while the two boys mingled with the knights. They are the darlings of the nature but their fighting powers are lacking when they are out of the forest.

They have ample fighting experiences with the beasts but they lacked the humaniod sparring partner.

Now,the resources are presented infront of them, they are very busy learning 'fighting techniques' from the knights.

I'm very supportive about this as I can get feed back from their progress. I earned it if I can integrate their experiences in the inherited memory pack.

I rolled around on the big and soft cushion in the carriage. The carriage is low key but not small. It looked normal on the outside but the interior space is as big as a small house .The inside of the carriage is built to feel comfort but elegant and luxurious.....

The carriage framework is made of very expensive material. The carpets spreading on the floor are made with the finest wools....Evan said it's entirely handmade. Not to mention the cushions made with the down of the Cloud Duck....

Giving the feeling of fluffiness and softness like clouds.....

I saw many magic circles painted on the outside and inside of the carriage. I heard from Sir George that the migic circles are for dust removal, rust protection, expending the interior space and shock absorbtion.

In short....this carriage is screaming 'Rich'...

I glanced at the lazy Evan...and his indifferent face towards these luxury products...

Tch...

A rich man who show off his wealth in a pure and elegant way.

The road is long...I want to know about other species beside humans.

"Brother...tell me about the power distributions around the world .."

"What do you want to do? Hegemony??"

"Hehe...why not?"

Evan rubbed my head...

" Let's see what we have....hmm...

There are Dragons,Goblins,Trolls, Orcs,Dwarves and Humans. Dragons ruled the sea. Goblins and trolls are living in the Cursed forest between human's Empires and Dwarves kingdom. You know about the orcs.....behind the Minkwood forest.."

Evan pulled out the map from his luggage.

"Didn't we have Demons?"

"They are not on the surface. They come from Abyss."

He placed the foldable table beside the window....After that,he picked me up and place me in front of him.

He spread the map on the table and explained me in a low voice...

His voice is not a magnetic voice but calm and comfortable to listened.

His hands are free of calluses...

'Isn't he trained swordmanship?'

His fingers are long and beautiful like an artwork....

'Don't drool on this man...

He is your brother... Even though he is younger than you, your body is still a child....' I warned myself...

I put my focus on the map...

"The west side is the sea area, the Dragon's territory. The Orcs are in the Northeast. Minkwood forest is between the Bright Sun Empire and Orc's. The Abyss is in the east side. Dwarves are in the Southeast. In the South is Ice Paradise. Cured forest is here....touching the border of Abyss,Dwarves and Ice Paradise.

There are two Empires between Bright Sun Empire,Mirkwood forest, Curesd forest and Ice Paradise Empire, Slevia Empire... and Grizzlehold Empire."

Four human Empires....and four non human territories... Only the Mirkwood forest is lacking the dominant leader.

"Why is the Minkwood forest ownerless?"

"Because... this forest is very dangerous. The place you stay is only the peripheral area...also known as 'Edge'.The real dangers start from the Swamp. Silly girl...even the 7th ring Mage like me can't pass the swamp. The 8th ring can pass...but it's limited to the word 'pass'. The dangers after passing the swamp are not something the 8th ring Mage can face...."

I can understand what he want to say. The Mirkwood forest is the territory of beasts. It is ownerless because the beasts are very territorial.

They don't like to form cliques like humans. While other species only have one territory for each,the humans have four big Empires spread out on the map.

I still haven't understood about humans but the books I read showed...

-Human beings are a race that is good at internal fighting.

Under the great unity, there are small internal conflicts....

It made so much sense in this situation that I was speechless...

"What about wars? Is the world in peace or in warring period? "

He is amused by my questions..

'What does a child even want to know? '

But he answered me seriously..

"Our Empire have grudge with Grizzlehold Empire. The Empire was in turmoil because of the battle for throne two years ago. However, our empire is very strong. They don't dare to wage war with us..."

He pointed at the map.

"Look....here. They are trapped within four sides..The most pressing matter for them is the goblins and trolls that always come out from Cursed forest to rob and kill the humans. The Slevia Empire and Ice Paradise Empire are not vegetarians either....They can't afford to move..."

I chose the Mirkwood forest as my base camp in my heart. I'll be strong Monarch sooner or later. The only free plot of land for me to conquer is the forest I first set my foot in....

" ria....Gloria...."

"Um...humm..What did you say?"

Phew..I was in a daze..

" I'm asking you about your kingdom. I didn't see it on the map...See? "

"Oh...I don't know..."

It's not suspicious for a child to not know how to read the map...right?

I leaned back and let my body to fall into his arms.

Habits are scary...

I slept on Luminous body everyday.. and it became the bad habit I needed to get rid... I can sleep without hugging someone but I sleep better while hugging someone....

I should change it, from someone to something.... maybe??

I fell asleep in a few minutes.

Maybe he considered my small body, the pace is slow down....

We arrived to the Capital city in the fifth day of the trip..

I was taken to the Prince's mansion. The Prince's mansion is not very far from the Palace. I can see the Palace walls from the front gate of the Prince's mansion.

The distance between the front gate and mansion is..... twenty minutes ride in carriage..

Hmm....not bad..

Not as good as Mama's Queen Palace in Heaven but not bad for a mortal prince..

[ Veronica, add the function "Map" in your system. Scanned the map of Capital city and save it. Ah...can you do it? ]

I ordered in impulse but forget to ask her if she can do it or not.

[ I can do it, Master..... ]

[ Scanning the Capital city....]

[ Scanning complete. You can now call out "Map" to enable map function.....]

[ Map]

I called out to take a glance at the map of Capital city.

'Wow...it's big..'

Must be a good place to learn and make money.

I saw the place marked as Palace.

The area is very vast...

Tsk..tsk...the capital...

Second biggest spot is the Royal Academy ..

The third is the temple...and the fourth is the place I am setting my foot in..the Prince's Mansion....

There are big spots here and there...

However,I decided to wait before looking seriously ..

I don't have time now..

I must find a way to make money..

I'm penniless right now.

In mortal world,being dignified requires having enough money to afford that dignity.

Otherwise, it's just a loser being poor but pretentious.

I want to build an Empire to shelter the living beings. My Empire shouldn't have beggers and starving people first.

And....I don't want corrupted officials...

Thanks to the family tree in Progenitor book, I can see their statuses. I don't need to worry about my descendants being villains.

The carriage stopped in front of the magnificent mansion.

Evan get off the carriage first. From the opened door of the carriage, I saw a man in tuxedo standing with his chest puff up.

Where are the two rows of maids to shout "Welcome... your highness"?

What's the use of prince without maids..? Bad review...

"Alfred... "

"Your Highness...Welcome back "

That man bowed Evan and said greeting words...

Evan turned to me and spread his arms...

"Come..."

I jumped into his arms...It's not like I'll lose meat by being hugged all the time...

I don't need to use my legs...it's comfortable...

This kind of thinking makes me feel better...

Liam and Noah also come down from the next carriage...

We followed the tuxedo man into the living room...

Evan put me down on the seat and he also sat down beside me... The two boys didn't sit with us but standing behind me like a proper guards.

"Kid! This is Alfred...the butler of the Prince's Mansion. Alfred, this is my adopted sister....Princess Gloria Avery Silverleaf.. The two behind us are Sir Liam Silverleaf and Sir Noah Silverleaf... "

I gave a nod to Alfred ...

" Hello...Mr Alfred. I'm Liam Silverleaf..The Archer and Guardian of Princess Gloria.."

"Hello...Mr Alfred.I'm Noah Silverleaf.. The healer and Guardian of Princess Gloria.."

[ The occupa....]

[ Later, Veronica ]

I let her 'shut up' first..

The boys greeted the butler politely. If something unexpected didn't happen, they will be under the care of Evan. The public relationship will be officially hand over to them now...

Being in good relationship with the butler won't harm us.

As a 'Secretly a Monarch',I can be kind,polite and approachable but I can't treat this man like I treated Daniel and Luminous. They are unique.... but humans are not..

Humph...you mortals....
