The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 113 Princess Lia has disappeared!?

Princess Lia had just opened her mouth to call out to the other elven envoys staying at the inn when she saw the handsome wild elf youth put his index finger to his lips, making a "shh" gesture:
"It's late at night, don't disturb others, don't disturb others..."

The wild elf boy blinked gently, his gaze still blank and empty, his mouth opening and closing mechanically, his voice layered and ethereal.

Yes, it's late at night, we shouldn't disturb others...

Princess Leah nodded and stopped shouting.

She felt that what the boy in front of her said made perfect sense.

It's late at night now, how can we disturb the other elven envoys' sleep?

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

"Princess Leah, please come with me. Let's go underground together, let's go underground together... to see our people, to see our people..."

"You will save them, future king..."

Yes, I am the crown prince of the Sun Elves, and I will spend half of my future reign as the king of all elves. I should go and rescue my trapped kin…

Yes, it is like that……

Leah's lips curled slightly into a stiff, rigid smile, and she nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

For some reason, Lia, as a proud sun elf, had always looked down on her primitive and barbaric kin, the wild elves.

But when faced with this wild elf boy, Leah only felt that he was very beautiful and delicate.

Even this princess, who had seen countless beautiful elf boys, felt that the other party possessed a mysterious and unpredictable charm that made people unable to resist getting close to him.

"Let's go together, let's go together..."

"Go see our people who were captured..."

The wild elf boy's lifeless eyes were now incredibly bright. He continued to speak in that layered, ethereal, and dreamlike tone, and turned to walk in one direction.

Lia nodded slowly and followed behind the wild elf boy.

The sun elf princess walked slowly and stiffly, the same template smile still on her lips.

And so, the two elves left the inn under the cover of night.

No pre-planned detection or surveillance prophecy magic was triggered to discover their movements.

They walked the streets at night, not invisible, yet no passerby noticed the two elves.

It's as if they don't exist.

……

In the floating city high in the sky.

The Sun Elf mage, Alamir Goldfleur, who had previously invaded human lands, is now confined to his hut.

He tossed and turned in bed.

One nightmare after another flooded the mind of the sun elf mage.

Just a few days ago, the elven delegation came to visit him, but only confirmed that he was safe and sound, and had no intention of taking him away.

Even Seymour Moon Whisperer chuckled and said:

"You humans have treated Alamir well as a prisoner, so we can leave with peace of mind!"

Tossing and turning in bed, nightmares flooded Alamir's mind, only to shatter one after another.

In his last dream, Alamir dreamt of what happened at the beginning of last year.

At that time, he had not yet emerged from seclusion, and was staying in his mage tower pursuing the art of magic.

At that time, his friend, the Sun Elf princess Lia Sunshine, visited his tower and eagerly shared her new discovery with Alamir:

“Alamir, I recently captured a new magical species in a cave.”

"This new species has a bizarre appearance, with a head like an octopus, and also possesses amazing mental magic abilities."

"I'm not sure how long this new species' natural lifespan is; it might die in a few years. Would you be interested in coming out of seclusion as soon as possible and studying it with me?"

Her Highness still loves to wander around. It wouldn't matter if something happened to me, but as the crown princess of the Sun Elves, she's far too careless about her own safety…

"A new species?"

Is it carnivorous, vegetarian, or omnivorous?

"Or does it have other special dietary habits?"

Alamir turned his head and looked at Lia behind him.

Then, the Sun Elf court mage's gaze suddenly froze, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Behind them, Princess Lia had a stiff smile on her lips, while her skull had been pried open, revealing a bloody wound and her brain inside.

Every wrinkle on Leah's bloodied brain was clearly visible!

"They feed on my brain..."

Leah smiled, then suddenly raised her right hand, grabbed her brain from her skull, and ripped it off.

Then, with a fanatical expression, Leah turned gently and respectfully handed the still dripping brain to the shadows beside her:

“I am Lia, the Crown Princess of the Sun Elves, the future King of the Sun Elves, and indeed the King of all the Elves.”

"I offer you my mind, my knowledge and magic, my throne..." "Great master!"

From within the shadows, tentacles reached out and took the bloody brain from Leah's hands.

"Ahhhh!"

Faced with this horrific and bloody scene, Alamir's heart nearly exploded, and he screamed in agony.

wake up.

All around him was the quiet night and the house where he was imprisoned.

"It was just a dream..."

Alamir clutched the blanket, still shaken and covered in cold sweat.

For a non-spellcaster, a dream is just a dream.

But for a legendary mage, dreams can sometimes symbolize a certain reality.

Alamir held his sweat-covered forehead:
"Strange, what did I just dream about? I can't remember..."

"I have a feeling it's related to Princess Leah..."

However, no matter how hard Alamir tried to recall, he could no longer remember the terrifying dream that had haunted him.

……

Elven Royal Court, the palace of the Sun Elves.

The sky is filled with stars.

The dazzling starlight fell upon the magnificent palace courtyard.

"Has the elven delegation not returned yet? We can't wait any longer..."

Larklas, the king of the sun elves, gazed at the countless stars in the sky.

"Yes, Your Majesty," a maid reported, "the elven delegation has stayed in the human kingdom of Eldoron for longer than expected."

The King of the Sun Elves sighed, gazing at the starry sky with a hint of helplessness:
“I have heard it, God is calling me.”

"Call me, to go to Avangard in my flesh, to that blissful realm of spirits!"

"It seems we can't wait until Leah and Elf return."

"There's nothing I can do, the day the gods will guide me this year is earlier than in previous years..."

Laclais turned back and asked the maid again:

"By the way, you didn't tell anyone outside the royal family about the exact date I went to the Elven Kingdom, did you?"

“Of course not, Your Majesty,” the maid replied respectfully.

The Sun Elf King, Larklas, chuckled:
"Queen Antinoya, the Moon Elf, probably thought I would be going to the Divine Kingdom in two more months. She didn't know I would be leaving five months from now."

Because he was about to depart for the Kingdom of Gods and would have no chance to attend to these mortal matters, and might not even be able to wait for Elf and Lia to return, the Sun Elf King was taking advantage of this last bit of free time before heading to the Kingdom of Gods to order his children to find a way to prevent the establishment of trade between the human and elven kingdoms.

"Alright, I must go now. In my living form, I will visit the kingdom of the dead and pay homage to my God."

"It will probably be several years before I return to the mortal realm."

The servants bowed respectfully:
"Respectfully bidding farewell to our King, King of the Sun Elves, the Chosen One of the Sun Princes!"

A dazzling, brilliant light descended from the starry sky, enveloping the Sun Elf King.

That was the call of the "Sun Prince," the elven god of war!

As the light faded, the Sun Elf King vanished, leaving only an empty space before him.

As she watched the king depart, the sun elf maid suddenly felt a little dizzy and touched her forehead.

"Dolly, are you alright?" another servant asked.

"It's nothing, I just haven't been sleeping well lately and I'm having nightmares," the sun elf maid named Dolly replied truthfully.

"When did I start having nightmares so easily?" she wondered.

Oh, it should start from when Princess Lia captured that terrifying octopus head and imprisoned it in the mage tower, and I was in charge of guarding that monster...

Yeah, it must be because that octopus-headed monster looks so terrifying. I look at that monster every day, and that's why I'm mentally unstable...

The maid, Dolly, wasn't worried that there was anything strange about it.

Although the octopus-headed monster would occasionally ask her questions about the Elf Royal Court, she didn't answer any of them.

Whether it's the system of alternating Sun and Moon Kings in the Elven Court, Princess Lia's status as Crown Princess, the exact date the Sun Elf King went to the Divine Kingdom, or information related to the Elven pantheon...

She didn't tell the octopus-headed monster any of this.

……

A few minutes later.

Prince Elf returned to his room:

"Sister, I still don't know how to use that alchemical bomb. You, the mage, should teach me..."

"Huh? Sis?"

Prince Elf stared at the empty room, frozen in place.

Something's wrong, something's wrong!
Where did my sister Leah go?
