After waking up from his illusion, Kiriko and the others entered the palace.
Kiriko saw Ren inside on a piece of furniture playing 3 in a row against Hina and cursing as he lost.
Seeing the carefree Ren back, Kiriko sighed in relief.
Cold changed one or the other point of view about the human in front of him.
Kumiko only inwardly cursed the bastard who scared her to death just now, she also almost kneeled.
If it weren't because she was behind Kiriko who wasn't affected by the aura since they have the same origin, she would very possibly have already kneeled.
Amerie was the one who got the biggest surprise, I don't expect Ren to have such a capacity.
Amerie is getting more surprises from Ren every time.
"What time will we see the queen?
- it should be time
Ren nodded and got up.
the 4 walked to the throne room.
before entering, amerie spoke.
- Just copy what I do, don't feel bad about what happened, it's just customs.
Ren, Kiriko, and Kumiko nodded without much problem.
Cold as well, although he did not have respect towards the woman who does not help his people, still he would have to follow the etiquette.
the 4 of them walked through the throne room.
The throne room was not as luxurious as the one in the human world, but it was definitely more beautiful.
The throne of the elven queen was made of wood from the world tree, the thing is that the same world tree created the throne for the leader of her protectors.
Although there was the minimum of things made by hands in the throne room, it was still beautiful, and behind the throne, you could see through a window the world tree in all its splendor.
Ren, upon seeing the world tree, was quite surprised, not only because it could be seen from this place, but also because the appearance of the world tree was not as gigantic and majestic as it was portrayed, really, Ren could only say that the world tree The world was a simple and big one, but you could tell how old it was just by its appearance.
Ren realized that the elves must have a type of camouflage to block the view of the world tree for third parties, since a boy that Ren asked when asking for directions to the mansion said to just go to the world tree, and Since he didn't see anything, Ren just had to keep asking.
the assistant who was still and with his eyes closed opened his eyes and said.
-with you, the elven queen Arwen Slyford will make her entrance.
Amerie knelt down and lowered her head.
The 4 imitated her movements in a similar way, kneeling and looking at the ground.
Steady, steady footsteps were heard.
Ren felt the strong presence coming from the side and sitting on the throne in front of them.
A woman sat on the throne and crossed her legs.
The queen looked at her 5 guests and smiled.
She first decided to test the courage of this new hero and benefactor to her family and others along the way.
The queen released her pressure on the 5 that were in front of her.
Kiriko felt the weight of the pressure on her shoulders.
Although she didn't make him sink to the ground, Kiriko did break out in a cold sweat.
Cold felt a bus on his shoulders, the weight of the queen's pressure almost made him faint on the spot, he could only grit his teeth and try to resist with all his being, though Cold knew about the queen's test of courage. queen beforehand, it made no difference to be prepared.
Amerie felt the pressure from her mother and it made her remember that there is still a long way to her, she also noticed that her mother was testing her results on her strength, so Amerie decided to resist until the end, she didn't want to disappoint her mother.
Kumiko was practically on the verge of fainting if it wasn't because as a servant, she was behind Kiriko who took the full blow from the pressure, she would have fainted by now, Kumiko's mind was frustrated as she was on the edge of her consciousness, she still told him. there is a long way to go to reach kiriko.
Noticing how everyone was holding up, the queen nodded to herself with a smile.
When she was about to release the pressure, she suddenly felt something confronting her.
She looked at Ren and could see that although Ren was kneeling down with his head bowed in reverence, an aura could still be seen coming out of his body resisting the pressure.
The queen recalled that recently according to her subordinate, Ren surprised everyone at the entrance with a strong king-like presence.
But compared to a small human kingdom, Arwen ruled all the elves.
The queen increased and she concentrated her pressure pointing to ren, to test the limit.
But instead of ren starting to sweat.
The aura outside of his body began to take shape until it became the shape of a man in armor with his hands resting on a sword pointing to the ground.
Arwen was a bit surprised by this, but she smiled and increased the pressure even more.
The Ren King's aura looked straight into the Queen's eyes with her calm gaze as if asking a question.
that is all?
' is this kid challenging me? interesting
'If that's how you want to play young man, I'll play along
The queen made a playful smile and increased the pressure even more.
The walls around her palace began to creak from the pressure, though the ren king's aura was passive to the elven queen's offensive and enduring, the walls not so much and it seemed that the walls wanted to shout at Arwen.
- please calm down!
As if someone could listen to the walls, the assistant who just at this moment was able to gather enough courage to speak, said trying to be heard.
- my queen, please wake up.
- um?
Arwen noticed at this moment looking at her attendant that she was sweating profusely.
Looking at the 4 guests of hers who had cold sweat on their foreheads, she realized that she exaggerated.
Kumiko on the other hand was sweating profusely with her mind numb, if it weren't for the king's aura going against Arwen's aura head-on and what she received was only collateral damage, she would have fainted already if she didn't. gave a short circuit, and there was also Cold.
Ren who was the source of the pressure was calm.
' shouldn't I be like them?
ren asks somewhat confused
- Do you really think that a girl could make you kneel with me here? Even if you didn't have the king's aura, that girl couldn't affect you
' that girl is over 500 years old.
You shouldn't say that to a woman.
' ... as you say
At this moment Arwen spoke.
- Please raise your head.
The 5 people raised their heads and 3 of them were stupid.
Even Kumiko.
If Kumiko was asked what she would say about the elven queen's appearance, she would say without hesitation.
'mature charm.
The beauty in her face, her smile, her body, the movement of resting her hand on her chin.
All of that was screaming.
Beautiful milf.
Kumiko after an unknown amount of time was able to recover from the elven queen's lethal charm.
The queen's charm was many times stronger than Amerie's charm.
If amerie were a flower with its petals closed but still showing its beauty of it.
The queen would be like the flower at the peak of her splendor, showing her beauty to the world.
The most idiot here was kiriko.
The queen observed how little by little each of her guests woke up from her charm.
Usually, every time a guest comes, Arwen first gives them a taste of her pressure so that when they see her appearance they don't get a disgusting look at it, or at least change it out of fear.
It was shown in hers as Cold despite being mesmerized by her beauty and her charm, he did not dare to look at her with lust, it was because of fear of her pressure, obviously.
But Arwen saw how kiriko was still stupid while looking at her, she decided to wait for the young hero to wake up before speaking.
Ren, who was calmly looking at the queen, realized that she was still not speaking, just looking at them.
Ren turned to her right and could see Kiriko still with a stupid look on his face looking at Arwen.
Ren nodded.
First Ren raised her hand and directed it toward Kiriko.
Arwen thought Ren would touch Kiriko's shoulder, but no.
Ren positioned her hand and gave Kiriko a hard slap on the back of the neck.
Anyone who sees it would think that ren is trying to knock out kiriko.
And they are not wrong.
But unfortunately, Kiriko did not end up knocked out with that.
He ended up with a red neck from the blow and a red forehead from crashing to the ground from the force of the blow.
- What the hell is wrong with you?
Kiriko with her hand on his forehead raised his voice to Ren, Ren's blow was charged with electricity which woke Kiriko from his reverie, but it also gave him great dizziness to feel that his brain had given a turn of the bell
Ren with a stoic face and flat voice answered Kiriko
"You are disrespecting the queen.
-ah
Kiriko realized his mistake.
- I apologize for that insult my queen!
Kiriko cried red because of the shame of having stared at the queen like an idiot.
The queen only waved elegantly at her hand as she responded.
- do not worry about it.
Arwen then took a serious look and began to speak to Cold.
- So, first with you, heir of the ice elf tribe, may I ask why you are visiting?
- You will see my queen, I want-
- you want help for your people right? In 2 weeks I will have your answer, and you can retire.
- but, my queen-
- do you need anything else?
The queen asked with a serious face.
Cold contained his voice and only answered.
-nothing my queen, I say goodbye.
The queen nodded and turned her attention back to kiriko.
- May I know the honor of your visit, hero of light?
- I have come here to fulfill my mission, my queen.
The queen agreed.
Before Kiriko could continue, the queen interrupted him and said what Kiriko was going to say.
- Tomorrow at noon I will have a party to help you, you will be able to dispose of them and plan your movements when you go to the dungeon.
Kiriko nodded.
The queen then said.
- If that's all, my servant outside the door will guide you to your room.
Kiriko nodded and followed the servant who approached Kiriko at some point, Kiriko and Kumiko followed the servant.
in the end, only ren and amerie were left in the room.
- please stand up.
The two nodded and stood up.
The queen rose from her throne and walked step by step toward her daughter.
Once in front of Amerie, Arwen raised her arms and asked.
- Aren't you going to give your mother a hug?
- mom!
Amerie jumped into her mother's arms and hugged her tight.
after almost a year, amerie was able to see her mother.
Ren gazed straight ahead calmly.
but he also thought of her mother from her previous life.
ren sighed internally and stopped thinking about it.
Arwen noticed Ren's melancholy look, she didn't say anything, she just kept hugging her daughter tightly.
After the hug, Arwen led Ren and Amerie through the mansion.
-I heard that you were sent by Naomi to help my father.
"That's right, could you give me some details about the patient?
Ren confirmed what was coming without much shame, this was his target, after all, he didn't care if Arwen mistrusted him.
As the queen of the elves, the queen will have sought many ways to cure her father, the elf king is not mentioned much in the game, it is only known that he fell in battle in the great war, so this is unfamiliar ground for ren.
- I'd better show you.
Ren nodded and walked with the queen and Amerie.
They walked through the mansion towards an entrance that was guarded by 2 rank S guards.
Passing through the door, they followed a set of stairs that led downward.
the hallway was lit by mana crystals.
On the way, no one said a word as Ren noticed the somewhat anxious expressions of the 2 women in front of him.
At the end of the corridor, a large door made of thick and large roots could be seen forming a spiral.
Arwen looked at the roots and from his neck, he took out an amulet that looked like an opaque seed and placed it in front of the door.
the door reacted and began to separate until leaving a circular passage, where they immediately noticed the great blow of wind that came from inside.
Arwen made a ball of air immediately protecting Ren and Amerie.
- interesting
Sylph appeared on Amerie's shoulder.
I greet the spirit of the wind
Arwen said mounting a small bow to Sylph.
- Don't worry little one, I was interested in the mana force coming from that room and I wanted to see it.
Arwen nodded.
Ren silently took out some bacon from a lunch box that had several spells put on it to keep the bacon cool and which bore the name of Sylph.
- Hurrah
Sylph flew up to Ren's shoulder and grabbed the slice as she began to eat with her small mouth.
Arwen showed neither surprise nor surprise for Sylph as if she knew the spirit would do that.
-be careful when passing
Arwen said before motioning to Ren to come over and look at what was on the other side of the door.
ren approached and was really surprised.
it was a large open space made of thick roots that followed a path to form a spiral in the center of the cave.
from the center of the cave, ren could feel an incredible amount of mana coming out causing the air blast.
- hold on
Arwen made the sphere float and brought the 3 to the center of the room.
The closer they got to the center, the more you could hear the blow of air that made the roots crack strongly.
in the center of the roots an ice crystal could be seen and in the center was a man with white hair and a handsome appearance.
- you have the ice attribute, right?
Ren nodded at Arwen's flat voice.
" that's how it is
Arwen looked at the man inside the ice crystal as he spoke with a sad look.
- My father was inside this crystal for more than 500 years, in the war against the demon god, my father was badly injured and one of the heroes of that time had to lock him up in this crystal so that he could receive healing from outside.
- ... the problem is that after 500 years no one is able to get him out of there, there wasn't even someone who can heal him from outside the crystal
"And the ice users?
- the ice is too thick to break from the outside with magic besides that it could kill my father, and mana can only be inserted with a precision of the size of a nerve, we try to find an awakened of ice attribute and one of light that can pass and heal it, but no one has that much precision.
- 10 years ago it began to expel mana through the ice causing the blizzard you see now.
-Once a month I have to pass mana through the crystal so my father doesn't start using his life force, but every time I do the mana exchange, he loses life energy
"How many years does he lose?
- at least 10 years
ren agreed
"First I have to see if I can get to him.
Ren walked over to the glass and placed his palm on the glass.
all of his training with his nerves can help, ren wants to see if he can enter through the ice, if he can't he will have to train to be able to bring mana to the cellular level if necessary.
but it seems that someone agreed to his prayers of not having to train so much, ren felt as if he could enter, the strange thing is that it seemed that entering through the glass passes like a nervous system, it was not difficult to pass, it just took some time until to reach the center of the crystal.
Ren withdrew his mana from the crystal and said.
"I can reach him
Arwen's eyes widened, she didn't have much hope but Naomi told her that he has healing abilities and that he already healed one person.
Arwen also had the same problem penetrating mana into the crystal, it took her many years to reach the precision of a nervous system, she thought that the young man in front of her would take at least 5 years, but miraculously the boy still could.
- yay!
Arwen jumped for joy, leaving Ren surprised and Amerie open-mouthed as the whole person seemed like she stopped being a noble lady for a moment and went back to being a girl.
Ren's mind only said
' Do these women have childhood problems?
Ren just shrugged as Arwen knocked a few times to ease her embarrassment.
"Do you know what part of him was affected?
-No, we couldn't find out, but it seems that my father has a heart wound, I heard from Naomi that you have healing abilities, can you?
"I have to get to his body to find out, for now, I don't promise anything, when my mana comes into contact with his body, I will be able to know.
Arwen grabbed Ren's hand with both of her hands as she said
-thank you very much, really, thank you very much
Ren had his calm look, but the blush was still there and it's not that Ren was affected by Arwen's charm, just that having such a beautiful woman with tears in the corners of her eyes affected Ren.
amerie who saw her mother like this felt uncomfortable and tried to separate them
- Don't you think you are very attached to ren mother? you are bothering ren
- Fufu, is it really like that?
' the famous fu fu!
Ren felt that his heart would skip a beat.
white said the famous ara-ara and Arwen in front of him said the fu-fu
Ren felt that he could die without regret in this life, but a voice woke him up.
- wake up ren
'um? Does something happen?
- um, nothing
'??
'you are jealous?
- I'm not jealous
- ren?
"um?
Ren snapped back to reality and saw Amerie staring at him.
" something happens?
- any
'Is she jealous of her own mother's charm?
ren got tired of this shit, he said directly to the queen
"Could I have her permission and go rest? The trip left me tired, tomorrow I would like to start
- of course
Arwen nodded happily and led Ren and Amerie out of the room.
when they passed the guards, Arwen said to ren as she handed over the necklace.
- Amerie will guide you to your temporary residence
"thank you, queen
- can you call me aunt Arwen
"Maybe in the future when I can get to know her better.
- don't worry
Amerie who was next to Ren smirked at her mother as she left.
Arwen noticed her daughter's look and just mentally laughed at how cute her daughter is like that.
