Journey Of The Elf Mother Tree In Magic World

The boys jaws are dropped, their expressions - disbelief...

They are too young ,too green..

They didn't know the sinister nature of living beings..

"What was that about, Mother?"

" I am warning you. Boys should protect themselves too. There was even a saying that 'Men can be women and women can be men but there is a possibility that they are not gays'. "

I could see their eyes are showing sings of mosquito coils.

" Last thing....If you are pursued by women, it's okay. Reject..if you don't like them. No need to be soft hearted. But if you are pursued by men and you don't like them, I mean...only if you don't like them,okay? ..Pick up the bigger stone nearby and smash it with your fist and shout 'That will be the state of your balls if you mess with me'. Hear me, boys."

" Okay, Mother. I'm officially disgusted now..."

I don't know they heard me or not, the cold face of Liam turned red like a cooked prawn. And Noah was laughing crazily....

"Don't worry,Mother. We are not weak in both hearts and bodies. Love is still too far away for us. So...can you please relax,Mother?"

" Okay,then..."

I let them go.

On my way back, the knights were still mesmerized by me.

It was a sweet burden...

[ There is a bad new,Master....]

[ What is it? ]

[ You are nearing your flowering period. Please find suitable place to take root....]

[ The exact time? ]

[ 7 days. I have a hunch that the number of fruits will be more than last time.Find a safe place in a week,Master...]

[ Wait !We will talk about it in my room.]

I didn't talk nonsenses with her until I got into my room.

"Don't distrub me before dinner time. I want to be alone..."

I ordered the maids not to distrub me and locked the door from inside.

Thinking about the problem I had to face, I got a headache. I admitted, I had low IQ when it came to playing mind games.

[ What to do?]

[ No idea! Shouldn't it be your problem to solve? ]

The first way I thought was going back to the Mirkwood forest. It was not possible. I came out just a month ago.

Moreover, Evan won't let me go back. Even if he let me go, coming back here would be difficult without his help.

I wanted to attend the Royal Academy.

[ Otherwise, ask for a safe place from him?...]

[ Are you crazy? What if he know about our secrets? ]

I was a hot commodity in my true form. I wasn't ready to rely on a man to keep my secret.

I walked back and forth in my room to ease my worries. However, my worries won't be solved just by walking around the room.

[ Any barren or deserted place? Have you seen one when you scanned the Capital city? ]

[ To tell you in simple and plain way....No!...]

What the hell!

Should I buy a small courtyard myself? My pockets are cleaner than my face. No money!!!!

I could sell the herbs in my storage space. It would be very hasty. Moreover, I don't know a single merchant.

If you asked,

Could I buy a small courtyard myself if I have money? No!!!

I knew nothing about the Capital city and I had no connection.

I could get scammed with my IQ...

[ There is a way. ]

[ Enlighten me, Master....]

[ I will tell Evan that I need closed door retreat to advance my realm. Then I will ask for a quiet place from him. Liam and Noah will need to act like guards to prevent others from finding out. ]

[ It will be perfect if we can deny Evan from visiting you...You make so much sense that I am speechless, Master.....]

[ There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One type is people who like to take advantage of me. One type is the one who won't let me take advantage. Thankfully, he is the kind that I can take advantage of. ]

It won't be difficult, right?

He didn't know my race. I could lie it was my racial trait to be in deep meditation (fall asleep )while advancing.

I lay down on my back. After walking anxiously for some time, I got sleepy. The problem is solved.

Taking a nap would be a good idea.

I closed my eyes and take a nap peacefully...

" Knock...knock...knock..."

I opened my eyes. It was noisy....

The door was knocked.

" Come in... No..wait, I am coming."

I forgot.I locked the door from inside.

I thought I would find the maid in front of my door but it was Evan.

He stood in front of me with a paper bag.

" What are you doing here, brother?"

" I heard you want to stay alone and haven't come out from the door. I bought some snacks for you. What happ..ened...to..you"

The paper bag in his hand dropped on the floor.

I invited him into the room and I also picked up the paper bag. I had something to asked from him...

He was autistic even after we were seated...

I snapped my fingers to wake him up from the dazed state.

" Hey, brother. Get a grip..."

" Gloria? How do you become like this? "

Though I liked your amazed look, it was not the time for you to be in a dazed.

" I advanced. It's our race's trait. Brother, I need your help.."

When he heard that I needed his help, he woke up from the dazed state.

" What do you need? "

He took the paper bag from my hand. A sweet smell spread into the room.

" Candies? "

" Hmm..I bought it from the sweets store when I went out to do charity. "

He took out a piece and feed me. That guy, if you like feeding other this much, why didn't you get your own child...

" That...brother. I need to retreat to stablized my realm. Do you have a quiet place? I want to borrow your place...."

" Quiet place? I have one in Temple. Do you want to go? "

Temple? Will it be safe?

" I need a safe place. It will harm me if I were to be distrubed.It will be best if this place didn't allow visitors, not even you. "

" I can ban others from approaching my courtyard. When do you need? "

" In five days.."

I have seven days but I needed buffer time.

" And it will take nearly a year, brother.."

" A year? That's very long. Isn't it?"

I shrugged my shoulder.

It's none of my business, of course, mainly because I can't do anything about it.

" I can't even take a look at you in a year? The time is too long..."

Evan brows are furrowed too tight that it was enough to killed a mosquito.

" I can't be distrubed, brother. It will make my realm fall. I'm sorry.. "

" Then...I will give you my guards. Mine is safer than the Emperor's guards..."

" Okay. As long as they don't come in.."

Evan nodded. His face didn't look good.

A maid come in and bowed...

" Dinner is ready, Yoir Highnesses.."

" Let's go.."

I thought we would be alienated when I grown up but Evan reacted as if I haven't changed size.

He was just short of picking me up and held me in his arms. He took my hands and descended from the stairs.

Nothing happened in two days. In the third something happened. There were five buds appeared on my crown.

This is the first time it appeared like this. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to let the maids comb my hair.

I let my hair loose. They won't get dirty anyway.

I didn't let Evan to get close to me in the breakfast table. I am scared of him touching the buds.

However, the more you are afraid of something , the more it will likely to be happened.

"You got new accessories on your crown? "

When I was not paying attention, he touched three out of five buds with his big palm.

It was too late when I slapped his hand away and jumped up in fright.

" I was just touching. It's not like I wanted to pull your little accessories. Why are you so fierce? "

I got shiver on my spine when I thought about my offsprings looking like him. Can I wash away this bastard's genes if I jump into the river? Urgent...waiting online...

I was so scared of his hands that I moved away in a hurry, just in the fourth day.

The small courtyard was small but have the qualities I conveted, being quiet and deserted. After Evan banned the people from coming near the courtyard, This place was as deserted as a no man land.

I took five guards from Evan. The two boys and five guards are enough to deter some unseen problems. I let them stay in the nearest courtyard. It'll be fine if they just patrolled around the wall.

I locked the main entrance and courtyard's door from inside. After inspection, I decided to use the bedroom as it was the innermost room.

[ Veronica. ]

[ Anything you need,Master?....]

[ Do you have camouflage function? ]

[ Yes, I have...]

[ Do it then...Make it look like ordinary tree. Being cautious is not wrong in any occasion.]

[ Then...use this flower pot. It won't be conspicious if you plant yourself in the flower pot. It's very normal for the small tree in the flower pot to have flowers....]

Veronica put the flower pot beside the bedside table.

Getting inside the pot and transforming, I let out a sigh of relief...

I haven't changed form in over a month....

[ No...I still need water. ]

[ Go to the bathroom. Soaked in the bathtub for awhile before you take root....]

I ran into the bathroom, turned the tap on and soaked my roots in the bathtub. I was satisfied after soaking for a hour.

I changed form in the flower pot. Only then did the sweet smell of the flowers spread inside the room. The small buds swayed in my excitement.

I hoped....the children won't look like Evan....
