Chapitre 59: Chapter 59

"I do not understand" King Zedekiel said to the Mother Tree.

They were standing under the Mother Tree. The wind was mild and her leaves were swaying gently. There was a quiet hum which only the Elves could hear. The Mother Tree was happy to see the King and Queen Mother. It had been so long since they paid her a visit. She excitedly stretched her branches, caressing their faces and hair.

Zedekiel wasn't happy. The Mother Tree was ignoring his statement. "Why did you give that human access to the ancestral burial ground?" he asked. "Why did you touch him in such a gentle manner? Why do you even like him? Have you forgotten what he is?"

The Mother Tree moved a branch and knocked off Zedekiel's crown in annoyance.

Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh. "You know his name. Why don't you just say it?"
